> "All right, let's go." If we remember how to get there, then let's get there. If not, then we let Alice lead while totally pretending like we know where we're going.
> You really haven't been to the library in a while. The faerie maid closes the door behind you as you follow Alice into the mansion. Almost at once, Alice takes off down a hallway, and you are content to keep following her.
> The mansion is as tasteful and well-decorated as ever. Just as with the outside, the theme here seems to be "red". The walls are a dark red paint and the floors are polished cherrywood. Side tables with potted flowers decorate the halls at almost every turn. Every now and then you see a painting or a portrait of vampires you don't recognize. Alice practically leads you through a labyrinth of doors and rooms. This small journey ends with the two of you standing in a wide room. The floors are marble and there is a chandelier hanging from the painted domed ceiling. To your left is a great pair of stairs leading down, lit with lanterns. To the right is a paned glass wall, with a single door in the center. On the other side it looks like some sort of flowery forest has grown there. Will-o-wisps, most likely the work of some magic spell, float in the air. These and the lanterns on the stairwell are the only light sources in the room. On the other end of the room, there's another grand staircase winding up and ending on some other hallway.
> Here and there, some faerie maids putter around with brooms and mops. One of them approaches you and starts scrubbing up the floor around you. Alice is already making a beeline for the staircase that leads downward.
