Upon approaching Gabel's room, the first thing that hits you is the increasing humidity. Just going down the hallway to his bedroom, there is an immediate noticeable difference in air quality. The air here is rancid and stale; heavy, thick and suffocating.  There is no breeze coming from his room at all, and you can probably taste the bitter flavor of accumulated dust just collecting in the back in your throat. Not only is it hard to breath, it also smells like absolute death and suffering to the point air fresheners do not even help. To make matters worse, it's uncomfortably hot; to the point where just standing around will make sweat gather at your neck. The floor approaching his room shifts between being icily cold and scorching hot, depending on which tiles you step on,  if Gabel knows you're approaching his room, and of course his mood. 

Instead of a regular wooden door, it seems that the one Gabel has was ripped out from the hinges a long time ago. Instead, a heavy metal chain-link gate with strong bolts serves as Gabel's door. The door is extremely heavy and made of nearly pure silver on gabel's side, so it can easily be enchanted to make a strong barrier. It's  something his brother probably put up when Gabel moved back in after unification and proved himself far more dangerous, destructive, unstable and violent than Grrmany was expecting. After a while, Gabel gained a little of Grrmany's trust, but Gabel refused to get rid of the door, claiming it as HIS important property, adamantly declaring it "The first thing West gave me when I came back!". Keeping it turned out to be in Grrmany's favor anyway, because well, Gabel is insane and it is a useful thing to be able to restrain him when needed, though Gabel will scream and rage endlessly if he's confined.

Entering the room, you will be confronted by the ENDLESS SHIT Gabel has. He hoards and holds onto everything that comes into his hands. Every day, he empties his pockets and bags into his room, carefully finding a place for every single item. To the untrained eye, it just looks like something out of a particularly bad episode Hoarders, but if you live with him long enough, you realize that he organizes everything by where he found it, with his more cherished things being pushed to the back. It's his way of leaving a mark. Gabel is a living walking existential crisis. He needs proof he's been places and alll the things he has, works as a sort of map. It's a replacement for his name being wiped from the official maps, a way of coping of sort.Taking or moving his things is not recommended unless you want him to throw the biggest tantrum along with having the hugest meltdown ever.  The only exception to this is the area from his door way to his bed, TV and bookshelf. After having to rescue his brother from his own bedroom more than once, Grrmany started strictly lining  out "zero mess-Zero tolerance" zones that Gabel must keep clean or else face harsh punishment.

Out of all the things in his room, there is a single thing that is noticeable in the rubbish: hundreds and hundreds of decrepit and broken statues featuring Christ on the crucifix. Along with those are hundreds of crosses hanging from the ceiling. There's a bookshelf in Gabel's room, but if you look carefully, it's copies and different editions of the bible over and over again. Pull out a couple and you'll see they all have the same passages highlighted and blacked out, the same pages carefully dogeared over and over, the only thing differing are the careful notes in the margins. Gabel is allergic to holy things but at the same time, he's a bit fascinated and endures their presence because he can't really tear himself away from it. He gets a bit of comfort from them that he can't explain. Something that he tried to pass on to Grrmany when he was just a pup. The only bedtime stories Grrrbund heard that weren't terrifying or gorey, were all biblical. 

His room is lighted by candle light mainly. Gabel's element is fire so there's no risk of an accident since he controls the flames anyway. There is however a broken TV lighting the room. It used to be functional until Gabel, enraged  after being grounded,  slammed his tail through it. The site of the expensive gift being broken pisses Grrmany off so much, he refuses to buy his brother a new one lol. He can't even be in his brother's room for too long because the broken TV in his face just ENRAGES him so much. Gavel never apologized for breaking it either so it's one of those sore points he can't really let go of.  As for windows, Gabel's were boarded up a long time ago. Second floor bedroom makes it a poor flight take-off sight and Grrmany prefers to know when his brother is in and out of the house anyway. It's easy to pull things over Gabel's eyes if you convince him he's gaining something out of it.

The most notable thing in his room, however, is his bed. Approach it and you instantly realize that this thing is not a piece of furniture, but rather some sort of lower demon that Gabel is torturing by forcing it to be his bed. Gabel seems to refuse to acknowledge that he is sleeping on a sentient being, though if you're sneaky, you can catch him hurling abuse at his bed that he has seemed to nicknamed "Dreck". Constantly weeping and groaning, Dreck is actually pretty defiant. If angered, it will slam its mouth down on a sleeping Gabel, move out of his way when he tries to lay down, flip over on its side when he's tired, all kinds of annoying shit.  

Most interesting of the room, is the partial crocodile that can be often, but not always, found  hiding under Gabel's bed. It has a variety of names: Sensenmann, Tod, Gavatter Tod,  or Schnitter. All names that basically mean Grimm Reaper/Death. It is basically Gabel's personal portal to hell.   When he needs to make trips, he stabs the tail with his fork, and The Reaper will lash out, devour him and drag him under. It's all very terrifying to watch and very dangerous, so Gabel forbids everyone who comes to his room from even looking at The Reaper. He will aggressively whip his brother, full strength with his tail  if Grrrmany even accidentally steps to close to The Reaper. It's not an attack that his brother will survive, so he punishes any carelessness without mercy.


And that's all!!! Will add more as I think up stuff
