The Stage of the House was a dangerous, temperamental theatre stage; stained with what lore insisted was just dye, it had heavy, purple velvet curtains which “[had] been known to swallow whole people up”, trapdoors which sometimes accidentally opened, 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 dared to perform upon it, from “singers and musicians who [had] sung to pirates, princes, [[dragon]]s, peasants, and spies and lived to sing the tale” to actors who “[were] not really acting”. Indeed, many thrilling tales were 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”.

==== The Ink Wells ==== | |||
The Ink Wells were circular wells filled with an apparently limitless supply of all the kinds and hues of paint and ink one could imagine. They were located in a cement room locked behind a large golden gate whose bars were actually enlarged pens. The gate was located at the end of a long series of twisting, “whispering” hallways, and an ominous female voice chanting in a dead language warned anyone who got too close. However, [[the Guardian of the Ink Wells]] who watched over the room and could unlock the door from the inside was actually benevolent and harmless-looking, being a [[Jenny Everywhere#Guardians of the Ink Wells|teenaged girl wearing aviator goggles]].
