[ENTER THE PALACE]
[You find yourself with a sensation like floating in water.]
[Above, the sky is dark. You can occasionally see things shifting, like gusts of wind, or perhaps waves of water. Is it…even a sky above you? Or is it some kind of giant ocean? Whatever it is, you can’t make it out very well. All around you, you appear to be floating in what appears to be water. It looks like a great, wide ocean of…space in every direction around you, with stars and lights twinkling in the distance. It looks like water and feels like water, but it doesn’t make you wet. You can reach your hand into it and pull some out, the purple and violet water and the tiny points of light inside it will even rest in your hands if you cup them to carry it, but once you’re not trying to hold it anymore, it’ll flow off of you, not a single drop remaining behind. You feel something similar if you go underneath the surface. The “water” doesn’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose when give the chance, it merely drifts around you, allowing you to breathe and see unabated. And you can see for a great distance, the twinkling stars illuminating the ocean of space all around you. Though perhaps less dark and empty, it feels every bit as vast as the sky above. You feel like you could swim forever and never reach the edge.]
[It’s quiet, here, with little noise around you but the starry ocean’s waves crashing back into its surface. It’s peaceful. In another situation, it might even be comfortable.]

When the motel is fully silent again, you hear a short tone come from your phone. When you check it, you see you've somehow earned 100 NessaPoints.]

she'll check that out as she turns to leave—she wants to investigate the clocktower next. ]

[As you get close, you spot two doors. One is locked and the other is more of a hatch. Looking in the hatch, you see some of the clock’s inner workings and that pretty quickly elucidates the issue - there’s a big spot missing that probably needs a….gear or a lever or a pulley or something? Whatever, you’re not a clock maker.]
[Maybe the other door will open if you fix the clock?]

no.
no...
she isn't meant to ... go inside that, is she? can she squat down and peer inside, just to see if this really is a video game level or just an indication of where to put the missing piece? ]
