==== Chapter 49: The Roof ==== | ==== Chapter 49: The Roof ==== | ||
[[The Roof]] is described. Stretching as far as the eye can see and swept over by “vicious” winds, it is “covered in lines, dashes, squares, and circles of paint to help guide the many airborne creatures and machines that call the Roof home”; the latter include “airships, jumbo jets, hot air balloons, ornithopters, jet-proppelled wings, dragons of all shapes and sizes, [[zero gravity vest]]s, zeppelins, starships, UFOs,” and many more. Flight attendants constantly “scurry about” to help visitors “find, borrow, rent, buy, steal, or otherwise obtain” whatever “flying thing” will suit their needs, so long as they carry appropriate identification. For all its wonders, the Roof is hard to get to: one must take [[the Elevator]] to [[the Theater Room]], then go backstage to find a portal to the hair dye closet in [[the Salon]]. There, one of the [[dragon]]s will “beam” anyone who gives them “a sky lantern fueled with hydrogen” up to the Roof. | [[The Roof]] is described.

==== Chapter 50: The Stage ==== | |||
[[The Stage]] is described. It is a dangerous, temperamental theatre stage; stained with what lore insists it just dye, it has heavy, purple velvet curtains which “have been known to swallow whole people up”, trapdoors which sometimes accidentally pen, lights wont to catching on fire, and other such hazards, with rubber knives occasionally being replaced with metal ones. As such, only extremely adventurous and experienced entertainers dare to perform upon it, from “singers and musicians who have sung to pirates, princes, [[dragon]]s, peasants, and spies and lived to sing the tale” to actors who “are not really acting”. Indeed, many thrilling tales are told or performed on this stage, including “pirate adventures, tragedies from [[Angel|the Gardeners]], romances told by [[dragon]]s, space voyages told by aliens and astronauts, and so much more”. | |||
