UPPER LANDING - UPPER LEVEL

[angelcage]

[ The red carpet leads you up the grand staircase-- everything getting less grand as you go. The carpet disintegrates to ground in dirt and then to nothing but dust as you climb, scraps of red unraveling away.

[still carrying the clown's warning in her mind, Rosalie first tries to listen for the sounds of other people on this floor.]

[angelcage]

[ Not much commotion. Yuma and III are talking in the statuary corridor, but there's no sound of chaos. ]

[runawaystory]

[she is beginning to think that she was lied to about something happening up here...

heading east, toward the voices]
