>"Right, so let's get looking."
>You know, Nazrin would've been handy here.

> Star folds up the dress she's holding and throws it over her shoulder.  It looked like she's hawked some other stuff, too; you see her stuff a few ribbons in her pockets.  "Ah, okay, then."
> Konngara says nothing.
> Nazrin probably would have been helpful here, you think.

>"Welp, no one's been out there in forever."
>Check the hole.

> "They probably would've done something about the windows," Konngara muses.
> You check the hole.  It spans down into a tunnel, at the end of which is complete darkness.
> Star hovers over and frowns.  "I don't sense anything..."

> It should be safe if Star doesn't detect anything, so the three of you start to float down a bit.  It's very dark.  Normally, you can see just fine in the dark, but this is kind of....
> Konngara raises her sword.  It illuminates before a a few lazers shoot out of it and go soaring down the tunnel.  The light briefly illuminates the caved in remains of many other rooms that form the tunnel before hitting the bottom and bursting.

> Star hastily flies back up the tunnel.
> "...A different route, then."
> Since the tunnel doesn't look very safe, the three of you take to the halls.  Now that you're actually walking through them, they look like they looked really cool once.  Star flies backwards, observing the ruined paintings with mild interest.
> "I heard rumors that vampires lived here," she says.

> You all move towards a set of stairs that doesn't look like it's about to collapse.  It leads down into another hallway; it's one way and leads to a single, ornate door at the end.  There are chandeliers here; most have shattered on the floor, but there are others that have miraculously managed to survive.
> "'Cause they drink blood," Star giggles.
> Konngara looks around.  "Wonder how long this place has been here."

> "A lot of foreign architexture was like that..."
> You open the door a crack and peek through.  You see a huge marble floor that's cracked.  You really feel the draft now; actually it's icy air.  This must be where the mansion is split in half.

>Check the area with the seeing stone.

> You scan the area.  It's...Wow.  There are a lot of wispy, ghost-like apparations of maids here with fairy wings.  They all look like they're having fun slacking off of work.

> Konngara looks at the seeing stone for a moment, then towards the room in contemplation.

>"Well, they look like they're not particularly hostile."
>Head inside; let Star see them through the stone if she wants to.

> The three of you head into the room.  It's huge.  It looks like it was a ballroom once, a fancy place you would probably see in the Palace.  One one half of the room, it actually looks like it was able to hold up well; there's even a staircase at the far end, winding down into the darkness.  On the other side, the room is completely exposed.  You see the rubble outside that you hid in when you first came here.  Snow falls onto it now, settling on it and one half of the floor.  There's a huge staircase and banister that winds up, but looks too unstable to ascend.  With the damage done here, it doesn't look like it leads anywhere, either.  On the ceiling is a crystal chandelier.  It hangs unsteadily, like it will fall at any moment.
> You hand Star the seeing stone.  She sprints to the center of the room and spins around, surveying the area.  Konngara walks across the floor at a slower pace, eyeing the chandelier.
> "...I recognize her!" Star says, pointing to thin air in front of her.  "Them, too; I used to see them in the Forest of Magic all the time."  She turns around in a circle, then stops.  Her wings droop.  "I can't sense them, though."

> You take the stone back from Star and look around.  It doesn't look like they've noticed you.  You call out to them, but they don't seem to hear you, either.

> "Hey, Konngara. Think we can rig that chandelier to fall on the monster if it comes up here?"

> Konngara looks up at the chandelier.  "Probably.  Or we could just blast it down.  Did you have an idea?"

> Konngara nods.
> You look around with the stone again.  There's a fairy near you, so you try tapping her on the shoulder.  Your hand goes right through her, but you briefly feel very cold.  She looks around for a moment, confused, but doesn't seem to see you.
> You try inducing jealousy.  The fairy is tinted with green for a moment, and then it disappears.  The fairy runs over to where Konngara is, but goes right through her and keeps going until she runs into another fairy by accident.  They both fall to the ground, and the other fairies around them laugh.
