It was gone, and only the piano before him now remained.
He played it, frenzied, not knowing what he was doing. Fingers dancing on keys, a little ditty - did he know this song? It was completely unfamiliar to him, but the room's shadows grew shorter and shorter as he played...the door creaked open, and a red sliver of light fell across him. Sarviur finished with a strange little flourish and came away with bloodied hands...but he was safe.
He was safe, and behind the hotel were orbs that promised safety. Strange, Sarviur thought. Perhaps the song had been something he'd known...
...and forgotten again.

The parlor was still beautiful, even in its decay. It didn't seem dangerous. Rojand crossed the room and tested the door. Locked. He frowned at it thoughtfully. There must be a way through.
A circuit of the room produced no key, and he wound up in front of the piano, staring at it thoughtfully. Surely this couldn't be it? It was clean in comparison to the rest of the room. Did it even still work? Hesitantly, he reached out and set his fingers on the keys, pressing a few.
The notes rang out, and he jumped back, alarmed, even though he'd been half-expecting it to work. Nothing happened.

He tapped out a simple tune, one that sounded familiar, though he couldn't place it. It wasn't something he knew, even though he knew it. The notes faded away, and he stared at the keys a moment more before going to test the door again.
It was still locked.

He wasn't even sure this was the right thing to do to unlock the door. He tried a simple scale, with just as little result as the previous attempts.

He ran his fingers across the keys, starting to get frustrated.

This time, he let his fingers wander almost absently over the keys; something like a tune emerged, and he heard a soft click from across the room. His fingers stung when he lifted his hands away from the piano, and he discovered that he was bleeding. He'd paid for passage with his blood, apparently.
The short hallway behind the door was cluttered with debris, but in the wreckage of the exit lay small golden orbs. He took one, furtively, carefully.

Standing in front of the faded sign, Ruse looked through the open door with some interest. Inside the building was dark and hard to navigate, but it held a strange charm that compelled her to enter.
Upon walking inside, the shadow could see that it was going to be a pain to get to anywhere, judging from the debris that littered the floor and hung lose from the walls and ceiling.
Taking great care not to step on anything Ruse managed to make it across the floor and through the hallway safely.

Entering the next room found Ruse staring at a queen sized bed, thoughts of lovers coming here to whisper to each other while-
"Okay, not going there." she muttered, flinching when he foot stepped on something sharp. "Ow!" She kicked it aside.

Ruse found that floor was completely covered in rubbish, and everywhere she put her foot she ended up steeping on something sharp.
"Dammit!" She hissed, using her sword to cut away some of the rubbish.

With a few swift strikes from her blade, the floor was clear enough for her to progress, and she moved on trying not to think of what people did in these bedrooms before.

"At least it is not on fire, I suppose," Raumias said, entering The Blue Rose. Or something. It was entirely possible that the writing was off, especially since she'd squinted at it for a while and she still wasn't really sure. Words, ugh. Who needed them.
It was kind of pretty inside, nevertheless, despite the ruin. On the other hand, it pretty much looked like the whole building was going to try to kill her. Why was she here?
The main hallway was full of trash, and it was darker than she would have liked. Especially given eyes seemed to watch her from the dark.
Having learnt her lesson from the night before, Raum booked it across the hallway, swinging on bits of less-painful-looking debris so that she could get through it before whatever it was in the shadows decided to eat her.
Entering the parlor, Ruse could see the exit was just ahead, but the door appeared locked. Raising a eye, she thought about kicking it down when she saw the piano nearby. Curious, she sat down in the chair, and pressed a few of the notes.
It still worked, but nothing seemed to happen beyond that.
