Erika heart

[dramatispersonae]

You get the sense that you pass through a door, but it shuts immediately behind you. However, when you look back, there is nothing but a dead end wall behind you. There is carpet is lush beneath your feet, and the corners are free of dust. Except for the lack of any actual entrance, it could easily be the entranceway of a lavish mansion.

Any magical or otherwise supernatural abilities you have are disabled.

ENTER

[dramatispersonae]

When you look forward again, you can see that you are at the end of a long hallway. There are three doors on each side of the hall, each one made of heavy wood and embossed with intricate designs. The last door on on your left appears to be ajar, but the rest are not only closed, but appear to have a strip of duct tape across the door and the doorframe.

Beyond the doors, the hallway opens up into a larger room. From here, you can see part of a long table with exquisite place settings, and beyond that, an even more intricate (and much larger) door.

No, it appears to be a generic lavish mansion.

...duct tape...

[heading along the hall to the ajar door, glancing up as he goes to see what the ceiling is like]

Re: ENTER

[dramatispersonae]

The ceiling is arched, and appears to open up to a higher ceiling at the end of the hall.

The ajar door is embossed with an intricate letter I. There's a keyhole in the doorknob, but the door is open a few inches. There's no duct tape on this door either.

Of course it isn't as fine as my estate, but how pleasing. At least Erika is able to torment us in relative comfort.

[okay, let's head to that ajar door]

Miss Erika is your friend from home, right? ♥

Re: ENTER

Room I is now open, and appears to be a bedroom.

[Duct tape? Going to peer into the room with the door ajar.]

Re: ENTER

[Heading to the long table.]

Re: ENTER

[dramatispersonae]

As you enter the dining room and look around, you notice Erika, who is sitting at the head of the table on your right. She meets your eyes with a slight smile but doesn't rise from her seat.

To your left, there's an open doorway to what appears to be a kitchen. Beyond the dining table is a very large door. It also appears to have a strip of duct tape on it.

The table has place settings of cloth napkins and fine china, but the only utensils laid out appear to be chopsticks...
