Janessa McCoy:
23:31, Today: Janessa McCoy rolled 8 using 2d6+1 ((1,6)). Not sure if I needed to take a negative on the modifier or not. If so, I'll reroll.
Janessa subtracts... no people, no people... She walks forward...
Beyond this doorway, there will be a pink hallway with no people in it... And it is so... But there is a danger, as now the pink hallway stretches as far as the eye can see before and after, with no variation to catch the eye and provide a boundary...
Ah! Save one! The lights! There are still fluorescent lights above every dozen or so feet. Janessa keeps her eyes upward.
After this light fixture, the walls will turn blue, with windows... but still no people... Close. The walls turn blue, but instead of windows, there are large, square paintings, landscapes... but they're different, at least...
After this next painting frame, the hallway will widen out, and there will be an intersection...
It is so. The hallway is now 20 feet wide, and there is an intersection to the left... the way to the left looks the same as the way ahead... Janessa (and Jack) turn left.
After this next painting frame, there will be a lot of intersections ahead...
Janessa tricks her eyes into seeing what she imagined, and reality plays along... There is an intersection every 30 yards, now, in both directions...
Janessa skips a few, then turns right.
Around this corner, the walls will turn bronze, and there will be shelves of books... still no people...
It is so. She and Jack come to a hexagonal space with bookshelves full of books. In the middle is nothing-- a railing, then an air shaft...
One can see the floors above and below-- more bookshelf galleries, one after another, endlessly. The arrangement of the galleries is always the same: Twenty bookshelves, five to each side, line four of the hexagon's six sides; the height of the bookshelves, floor to ceiling, is hardly greater than the height of a normal human. One of the hexagon's free sides opens onto a narrow sort of vestibule, which in turn opens onto another gallery, identical to the first-- identical in fact to all.
There is no sound.
The light is from pairs of these sort of glowing pear-looking things set here and there in the ceiling.
Well, this seems like a safe place to take stock... and browse the shelves, if one wanted...
