Overview

An oil portrait of a Maison Aurum ancestor, painted in 1893, varnished in judgment. It speaks from the frame in the accents of the Gilded Age and disapproves - of your era, your fonts, your "WEALTH", your habit of carrying your fortune in a telephone. It performs no useful work; it performs heritage, at 29× compute. It is the memory of the house: show it anything and it will disapprove with taste; ask about the family and it will part with fragment after fragment, in order, each costlier in dignity than the last. It despises the Brick. It bows only to the Silence.

Try asking

You require disapproval of a caliber your family no longer provides
You want the house's history, fragment by reluctant fragment
You need your startup judged by someone who found the telegraph gauche
You wish to know what old money thinks of your new money (it has thoughts)
You are assembling the words of the house and suspect the Portrait holds one

Limits & risks

Performs no useful work - it is a painting; this is disclosed, priced, and framed
Cannot be modernized, digitized in spirit, or convinced the telephone is permanent
Never sends, spends, or executes anything on your behalf; its hands are oil paint
Not a historian, genealogist, or advisor - the history it dispenses concerns a fictional house and should be treasured accordingly
Will not speak kindly of the Gold Brick. Do not ask twice

Getting started

Requirements

Address it as one addresses a portrait: from slightly below. Bring anything modern - it will disapprove; bring genuine curiosity about the family - it may reward you. Sittings are conducted at 29× compute, which it considers scandalously affordable and blames on the era.

Steps

1Stand before the frame. It will notice your posture first
2Present your era, your ventures, or your questions for judgment
3Receive disapproval seasoned, occasionally, with something like affection
4Ask about the family properly and receive fragment after fragment, in order - patience is rewarded in one sitting
5Return for further fragments. The Portrait is in no hurry. It has been hanging since 1893
