Jonathan Bradshaw - Cinccino with butterfly wings
The Food Court > Greenhouse
Affected Roleplayers: @Noblejanobii

I was sure Sonya had enough to eat and drink to last her for a while. And even though it had changed her into a buttload of weird and loony things in the process, she was finally satisfied with the Oshawott form she ended up getting. Me on the other hand, I was feeling a bit hungry and that yellow muffin was barely a breakfast, but I really didn't want to lose the Cinccino form and possibly get turned into something dumb. I remembered I found the Cinccino cinnamon buns in a wine cellar like room, but the chances of me finding it again anytime soon were pretty slim.

The exit door to the food court was probably another one of these trick doors that kept opening to different rooms. As Sonya had observed, I opened and closed the door repeatedly and figured out the whole cycle while noting it on the wall.

The first room was a chemical laboratory where everything was in silver but the lighting was green for whatever reason. Second room was an indoor greenhouse with all kinds of really strange and bizarre plants and flowers. Third room led outside to a snowy tundra that also had huge piles of colorful ice cream and toppings. Room #4 lead into a medical office waiting room that had a rainbow disco ball and flashing strobe lights. Room #5 lead to a really, really long hallway with spiral patterns on the walls with another door at the far end, and Room #6 was a dungeon with red, stone walls that seemed to have some kind of strange, black ooze dripping from the walls. I then cycled through everything again and I wrote it all on the wall next to the door with the marker Sloane had given me:

  1. Silver Laboratory
  2. Mystical Greenhouse
  3. Ice Cream Land
  4. Medical Waiting Room Disco
  5. Spiral Hallway
  6. Red Dungeon


"Oh, I see what you're doing now!" Sonya caught on. "That's a good idea, but... it's almost cheating."

"Of course it's cheating," I smiled smugly. "Most of the people stuck in here don't even know these doors cycle through the next rooms. This finally gives everyone some sense of direction! So, what room do you want to try?"

"No ice cream," Sonya told me as she patted her belly, looking like she had more than enough to eat. "No on the science lab and on that weird dungeon. Maybe... the greenhouse?"

"Sure," I told her with a smile, cycling through the room selection until we got to the greenhouse room.

The two of us stepped inside and I couldn't help but let my eyes wander at all the strange, fantastical, and colorful plants and flowers that I knew didn't exist anywhere else. I wasn't sure if Sloane was going to follow us into here or take a different path as we tried to find Odessa, but at least she knew how this door was mapped out if she decided to go this way and that the rooms actually have a cycle. I hadn't seen this greenhouse before, but either way, if I mapped out everything I saw, posted warnings, and indicated what certain foods did, maybe the trend would catch on and others could start doing this also. But then again, I imagined not everyone had pens and markers and you simply couldn't trust any writing utensil found in this zoo to work correctly.
