The ground falls out beneath you. You're in midair, you're surrounded by swirling clouds, and there's nowhere stable to put your feet. The space between your body and the turbulence around you feels poorly defined as well; where do you end and your surroundings begin? Is there a stable you in the first place?

Half of them are roughly in the design of American flags, but you barely need to glance twice to notice that where there should be stars, there are instead fifty little masks. The other half feature a tall black tree, not unlike the one Onyx takes residence in, but where it should have leaves, it instead grows little masks.

Why indeed...

Behind each one, the wall curves into a hidden nook or alcove, which is stacked high with cowls, domino masks, short black cloaks, and neatly folded outfits in red, white, and blue.

Inspect the hidden items, in case anything wise is hidden there.]

The black cloak looks like the ones heroes and knights are given in the Black Woods.

The masks are domino masks and full cowls.

[Leave the items hidden, and go look at the large double doors.]

They don't appear to be locked at all.

[Through the doors then!]

You push open the wooden double doors, and sunlight streams in. You can go outside, to the upper deck.
