[FIREBIRD EXPLORE - MIDNIGHT]
You find yourself in a small triangular room with high, high walls. All three walls are made of glass. Through one, all you see is white light moving in strange angular patterns. Through the second, the same white light forms great starbursts. Through the third, the light coils and wheels.
It's quite bright. The floor is made of ruddy beaten copper. The ceiling is a vast mirror. In the middle of the floor is a great copper bowl filled with something white and wavering, like smoke.
You find three copper tokens in your hand. They are flat, shaped like apples. Engraved on each is the word OPEN.

In the middle of the circle they form is the skeleton of a small songbird, the bones hung together with copper wire. A perfect copper feather is wired within its ribcage.

[picking the bird up to examine it, using only his fingertips and a very delicate touch, trying to see if there is any sort of graceful way to slip that feather free]

then puts his second token in the middle of that ring.]
Re: Allen
You find yourself back in the original room, with a brass key this time.
Re: Allen
[pocketing both of the keys and heading for that last door--but pausing to examine the bowl again; has it changed at all?]

Re: Allen
You’re in a thick forest, faint mist drifting lazily around your feet. It’s a little chilly, a little damp, but not uncomfortable. Birds chirp and insects buzz lazily all around you, unconcerned by your presence. What little you can see of the sky is pale and cloudless.
A faint trail winds into the trees to your right.

Re: Allen
In the center of the clearing is the lone intact statue: a huge dark serpent about thirteen feet high, mouth wide open. It's exquisitely carved, but its four fangs are missing, so it looks pretty goofy right now.
A red fox is seated on the other side of the clearing, eyeing you. It's carrying a lump of raw meat in its mouth.

You wouldn't happen to know what's going on, would you?

The fox is still watching you. Or maybe the jerky.
