[Tonight was promising to be a quiet night in the dressing room. The Tykis may be lounging in the miscellaneous bars and pubs, and the Allens are probably curled up in piles of blankets. Who knows where the Crosses are, but that's nothing new. And Lavis? Well... they're probably head-first in a book, drooling and getting ink on themselves. Yes,

The walls around you are narrow and metal, dark, an attempt at wallpapering coming off in strips to reveal the metal beneath.

Finally you'll come to an intersection, one hallway is filled with bodies piled from floor to ceiling, blocking it off from access. The one in front of you is a bright white light, an escape from the dream perhaps. And the remaining hall the scream is continuing to sound from.
It empties out onto the balcony of the ship's ballroom - no one said layouts had to make sense - and more bodies litter the floor.

Atticus this time, mm? Matters not, sweetheart. You can't hide from me.
[Reaches down and picks up a woman's skull, tossing it up and down, the blood on his clothing casting droplets everywhere it's so saturated with blood.]
Come to end me again?

[He turns and starts walking toward the grand ballroom doors where the flood of Tease are, the skull in his hand turning into a softball that he keeps tossing.]

When are you not? [The flock of Tease rise up and surround Tyki almost protectively, closing him off from Atticus' view.] You're always curious, sweetheart. For all the wrong reasons.
