Amity stood in the foyer of the Blue Rose and realized the terrain had shifted, whether from the disruption of other visitors or from some whim of the building itself, which he had come to think of, for whatever reason, as a living thing.
His usual route was blocked, and he took a moment to get his bearings, perched on a pile of rubble and peering into the dark.

Maybe there was another route up to the bedrooms. He tried to shove debris from the opening of a second side hall, but got only splinters for his pains.

That was the only comforting thought he could find as he reeled back from a painful blow to the head, dizzy and feeling betrayed.
"Please?" he tried.

And once again, that worked.
What's the magic word, sweetie? asked a woman's voice in his ear, an old fragment, there and gone.
He proceeded cautiously to the bedrooms.

Maybe it appreciated him ridding its rooms of whatever was infesting them.
This was a novel thought and much cheerier than the idea he'd had last time, and so he went stealthily into one of the ramshackle bedrooms, kicking a bit of debris under the bed to stir up whatever was under there.
It skittered out much faster than he anticipated, sending him backwards, and latched onto his leg.

He managed to fling the thing loose, stumbling back out into the hallway and aiming the guns into the shadows, waiting for it to re-emerge. When he bright circles of its eyes appeared, he opened fire.

This one was stealthier than the last two. Either they were onto him, or he was experiencing another run of bad luck, or the Blue Rose was putting him through his paces for his final expedition.

One more round and it was gone, the lights blinking out.
He stood in the hallway quietly, and offered up: "You're welcome."
And then he moved onwards.

He stood before the pianoforte, hands in his pockets. And then, as he had twice before, he closed his eyes, and emptied his head. It was easier to do that here than anywhere else.
He felt the blood on his fingers before he heard the door whisper open for him, and before he left, he paused to turn and look back over the room.
Why the sentimentality? Why just here and the Plaza and nowhere else?
His first trip through he'd wanted to lie down in the sunken beds and sleep. He still did. He still wished he had.
But curiosity, insatiable and hateful, propelled him onwards.
He took his blessing at the door, and ran his hands over the threshold in farewell.

Blue Rose. How did she end up in Blue Rose? How lost can Leia get, especially when she wasn't even trying?
The place was abandoned, everything falling apart, and everything was tragically in place. It was most likely a very beautiful place in it's prime, but now, to some, the place seems to be a dark and eerie place. Leia believed that this place was still a dark beauty, but with a shadowy past hidden within it's walls.
She tried to walk through it, but it did not seem as easy as one thought it would be. It was like an obstacle course, with splinters, boards, and many glass that made a crunch under her feet, was thrown all over the surrounding area.
She made it to the Main Hallway, which was old and covered with litter. The lights have long since broken, and it is difficult to see, as there are very few windows to let in light. The walls creaked and swayed, and sometimes Leia felt as though nothing is steady enough to keep strong...
...there are eyes in the shadows...
She tried to get across. She really did. But as she was trying to get across the Main Hallway, there were pieces of glass falling from all over, and they were cutting into her every time they touched.

She had to try again to get past the Main Hallway. Again. Maybe a second time would be the charm. Or was it the third.
She thought she could make it, she really did. Hoped even. There was only a small problem: Shelves. They were right in the middle of her way. She tried to move them, only to get splinters in her hand as her reward.
Time to start again.

And the Goddesses seemed to have blessed her with good fortune, and she proceeded to the next area.

An area where the chance of two lovers meeting in the midst of a tragic love affair. Whispering in each of each other's ears, showing something beneath the sheets no one should see.
Yet the room was now a deserted area, where no one had even gotten close to any of those romantic day dreams in years. She knew something was wrong as soon as she had stepped into that room. The battle began when everything just so happened to begin to attack, whether they were in her sight, or beneath her.
DAMAGE DONE: 12 - 6 = 6! HEALTH OF BOSS: 10 - 6 = 4!

Leia was doing well at the time that she was doing. Maybe she would finish this room off sooner than she would think.
And she finished the room with more ease than she had previously.
DAMAGE DONE: 13 - 6 = 7! HEALTH OF BOSS: 4 - 7 = (-3)! ROOM DEFEATED!

She was sure enough that the previous room did not seem as hard as she thought, but now, something else seemed to have appeared. She came to the parlor. It glowed with it's previous glory, the golden fixtures turned to brass, and the piano forte was still standing off on one side of the room, as if someone was supposed to play it for the last time.
She turned towards the door, thinking that she would be able to make it alive to the room, yet when she had tried to open the door, the door would not pen. She tried to pull on it, but the door wasn't jammed either.
Apparently, something told her that the piano was the key to getting out of the room. A piano wasn't something she knew how to play, but somehow, a tune that went along the lines of this came to her. She walked over to the piano, setting herself up to play it, and began to play the haunted melody that played in her mind, hoping that it would get her out of here.
RESULTS
- 4, 4, *any number here* You aren't sure what you've managed to play, but it's not good. Something swings out at you from the dark and the last thing you hear is music... (instant death)
Alas, when the last key was played, something came from the dark that was behind her, and the last thing she could recall was the sound of music.
{NO BLESSING - INSTANT DEATH}
