Orange Cerlo: One Day

Capie, Rees and other craftspeople work to build a new world settlement using ancient arts and commerce methods of the renowned West Indies Company and East India Company. They find balance and success in a new land. Their ways in arts and commerce attract those trying to capture the secrets of the people, and methods, and tools of the fast-growing colony.

The four kids learning a craft at the shop known as Orange Cerlo in the center of the new settlement town get an unexpected education. The shops keeper and master artisan, Capie, has been confronted today with the disappearance of a trusted confidant and fellow artisan. He suspects the involvement of those not of the first comers to the settlement of New Amsterdam. The apprentice says, “These are not ordinary objects. These are not ordinary men, I think.”

Capie prepares for that evenings invite only Pottery Shop Festivity that will bring together other ‘useers’ and shop keepers to show and sell product with special capabilities to local and foreign patrons, artists, and invitees. Mr. Paullette is dispatched with a team of artisan soldiers to recover the missing Mr. Tempaert, who may have been kidnapped or killed, and the stolen unique items from Orange Cerlo and Mr. Tempaert’s burned out business on main street.
