Sveta walks to the end of the hallway, keeping quiet and allowing you to take in your surroundings. Stopping abruptly in front of a door, she knocks once on it, waits for a moment, then yanks the door open. "This is the storage closet." You almost ask why a storage closet is important, then decide against it. Nothing is apparently as it seems in this place. She walks in it and reaches down on the ground, picking up something you can't see. You take a step back, wondering what she's doing, when you hear a scratching sound and see a light flicker. She holds up a candle, and waves you inside with the other hand. You quickly step inside, and she points to the wall, holding the candle up to it. After looking closely for a moment, you realize there are words etched out in charcoal on it. "I do not know why, but this wall has become a place for lodgers to come to when they are without other things to do. Always knock before you go in here, however, because it's also where couples go to... do inappropriate things.� You nod, and she shrugs. "They scratch gossip on these walls, as well as things to do. I attempt to get it off once a week, but it is always back on the next.� She blows out the candle and walks out, tossing the candle back into the closet behind her. She waits patiently for you to make your way out the door before shutting it lightly. "All right, I promise there is more to see than just the inside of closets," she smiles, starting back down the hallway. |
