Passing through the front door, you reach the manor's foyer:

There's not much to say here that isn't evident. Besides the the music playing from the surround sound system and whatever is going on with the interior design, it's a regular foyer.

The stairs both lead to the same place, and you think you see a bar off to the right? A door behind the staircase leads elsewhere.

[ The kitchen isn't really overwhelming, but it's not underwhelming, either. It's just sort of whelming. You're very whelmed. The speakers agree with this opinion.

The counter is clogged with a variety of useless kitchen gadgets to the point where you're not sure anyone has ever used any of this counter space. In the back of the kitchen is a fridge, and next to that is a bowl on the part of the counter between the fridge and oven.

There is another door here, but you can also leave the way you came.

There are…so many dolphin statuettes in this bathroom. So many! You can barely move without knocking over a dolphin statue. Besides those, there's a basin which seems to have a faucet attached but it's not really clear, and a weird toilet and a bathtub with the curtain drawn.

Accompanying the endless dolphin parade is this.

The only way out is back from where you came.

This room is a maze of mirrors, filled with bedroom furniture that is also covered in mirrors, each of which reflects your very soul. Every possible version of you that you could be is here, staring at you silently. It's almost judgmental, really! As soon as you step forward, however, a laser fires from above your head and into the mirror immediately ahead of you - it rebounds from there to all the others, and as it does each reflection (from the benign to the utterly monstrous!) begins to dance to the beat, as the room becomes saturated with technicolour light and sound.

Regardless of whether or not you find this disconcerting, you also literally cannot see anything besides the reflections through all these lasers. Holy fuck. It seems the only way forward is to channel the powers of the ancient Laser Masters…

Or you could return from whence you came.

[Peering around curiously. They have a revolver in hand, but it's pointed at the ground, finger off the trigger.]

So we just need to find the threat and keep it busy?

[ Well. He doesn't like the sound of anything. Glancing around... ]

I suppose it doesn't matter where we start? We'll have to explore everything eventually.

[ . . . Peering at the door behind the staircase, before glancing around at everyone else. ]

Shall we all split up into groups in order to cover more ground?

[Pink is checking that the horrorterror first aid sewing kit from that plushy game is in his bag before looking around to see who else is here]

Okay, did anyone else here do Yuletide Queen? I did Yuletide Queen and this looks like more of the same shit, except with dolphins instead of santas.

That seems to be the case.

[ He has a sword lowered at his side. Just likes feeling more prepared... ]

I vaguely recall somethin' about the parking garage? What kind of shit was it then?

Unfortunately, I don't know much about it?

Oh yeah, that was... yeah.

Anyway, they dragged a bunch of us in here and did a Christmas wonderland. End boss was this singing siren and she really tried to wreck us. So be on your guard, I guess.

The what?

Eeh, is that okay? I feel like that might be unsafe if we're not like, trained ta operate as a team... We're gonna run inta something dangerous after all.

Yeah, I don't think you were there for that?

Anyway, that kinda started the same. Annoying music on the PA and I think it was the same host? A bunch of us ended up going and fighting this siren thing. But I think I might be the only one here did that.

Yuletide Queen. You were here for Christmas, right? Remember that really annoying music they piped into the lobby then? Turns out it was some kind of siren and I think D.va had managed to piss her off.

[A quick nod.]

Since we have, let's see... four, five people, we should probably stay together and be on guard.

Just hearing the name already makes me have questions, but I assume none of it was great?

What was the fight like?

[Gonna start searching around without leaving yet, peeking behind the bar.]

I see...

[Do they. Do they really.]

But from what you said, it turned out to be a legitimate threat? Is there anything we should be prepared for other than attacks?

So do you suggest sticking together?

If we were to separate, I think it would be better to keep one of each of you from Pep! Pep! in different groups. You're both the closest we have to healers right now. And AlcheME [ Glancing toward the present Alchs ] have a number of helpful abilities that could come in handy in a difficult situation.

I don't mind sticking together if others agree it's safer, though. I might be from upon avante, but I am still a fledgling when it comes to battle. After all, back home I'm an idol, not really a fighter.

Well, it was D.va, so...

Anyway, you remember all that music they piped into the lobby last Christmas? That was her doing. She was a siren... I think? I think that's what they call 'em. Anyway she was pretty tough. If it's gonna like that, we need to expect trouble. Trouble and bullshit.

There is nothing behind the bar besides a multitude of empty wine bottles.

The countertop has a piece of paper on top of it. There are also several frosted mugs, enough for your whole party to drink from. The liquid inside of them is green and odourless.

There was definitely a lot of bullshit.

I am glad that at least one of us has experience with something similar, then. Your knowledge will only be able to help us, I'm sure.

This time, I suppose it isn't a queen we'll be facing, however.
