==== The Mud Room ==== | ==== The Mud Room ==== | ||
The Mud Room was a room whose interior replicated a rainy, muddy public park. At some point, an [[Killer in the Mud Room|insane serial killer]] with a predilection for stalking young women in such conditions was transported to the Mud Room. They didn't realise that they were no longer in the real world, though they were confused as to why they hadn't been caught yet after accumulating years' worth of “stupid mistakes” in their murders of visitors who stumbled into the Mud Room.

==== The Airing Cupboard ==== | |||
The Airing Cupboard was located on [[#The fourth floor|the fourth floor]] down [[#The east wing|the east wing]], and apparently held a terrible secret. It ceased to be used as an actual airing cupboard in the Victorian era, when a parlour maid “discovered its true nature”, which prompted “the [[Master of the House]] at that time” to conceal the entrance by placing a life-sized portrait of [[Master of the House's mistress|his mistress]] over it. Reportedly, his [[Master of the House's wife|wife]] was so outraged she left [[The Strange and Wonderful House|the House]] forever, moving to the continent, only to die of jealousy “a mere fortnight after”. | |||
Eventually, the door was uncovered once again as part of the preparations for “the coming of [[The Great Glass Elevator|the elevator]]”. The first visitor to take notice of the door pulled it open only to be greeted with “the unexpected scents of lavender and lye soap laid over a base tang of copper”. A [[Figure in the Airing Cupboard|mysterious figure wearing a “peculiar” Victorian nightdress]], seated in a corner, greeted the visitor with “Darling! You've been so long!”, and closes its arms tightly around him, locking him into place.
