Warehouse

As they step through the door, Annabelle sees the Warehouse for the first time.

It looks....like a warehouse, which is a bit disappointing. At least, it does until you get a look at the motley collection of brick a brack on the shelves.

From somewhere not too far in the distance is a whirring whine of a large vacuum cleaner...

Also, most warehouses don't have quite the acreage of this one. (Claudia suspects that's part of why it's in South Dakota - there was enough land for the madness, and it was a pretty safe bet no one else would ever want to develop it.)
"Doesn't sound like it got far, at least," Claudia says, once they're both through the door. "Maybe we can corner it or something."

"Possibly," Annabelle agrees with a nod. "I presume you'd rather I didn't damage it?" It never hurts to ask, right?

"If at all possible. Thing's probably choking fatally on something already."
There's no point in making her already-long chore list any worse than it needs to be.

"Plan B it is, then," Annabelle says over her shoulder as she stalks in the direction of the vacuum noise.

Sound carries strangely in here, and the rampaging vacuum is attempting to eat a tapestry of some kind several aisles over.
