A woman at the door smiles and enters to pat her friend on the back. The recipient only shakes her head, putting down the pages. Before she can answer, the other woman grins.

And now that Castle Renovation has been completed... Have any idea when the tiling will be finished I�m sure you have "a thousand and two" other things to finish.

She looks at you and gives a slight bow, more of a deep nod really.

Welcome to the �Dead Tower.� I take it you�ve already been pushed around and ignored by this woman�s preoccupation? Don�t think it�s you, somewhere deep inside she�s a sweet person... Most of the time anyway.

Hey! I went from �Someday I�ll get your writing!� to �I�ve accomplished something!� It�s progress right?

The smaller woman smiles at you and nods at the door.

Come on, I�ll save you from this place.

Bye. And don�t forget to sign that Guestbook, I�ll send you a copy of the posted story!

The taller woman waves at you and shouts after you as you leave her room.

Maybe. If she can get around to finding the time for it, this was a major undertaking in itself.

The shorter woman whispers to you as you leave the room. She smiles and leads you down the hall.

Don�t mind the writer�s attitude when you were in there. She�s just getting over the creative bug.

The woman smiles as you walk down the hall past a doorless closet for towels. Stacks of rose pink, purple, red, dark green, and brown are arranged on the higher shelves. On the lower shelves are various soaps and shampoos and other bathroom items. There is also a small ladder on the floor under the shelves.

That�s the bathroom on the right, the only room on that side of that hall actually. There are three other doors on that wall but they all go to the same place. Which is rather a mess. We�re starting work on the tiling, which is what that nut back there is supposed to be doing. She can rebuild an entire castle but she can't put tile in a bathroom...

The woman smiles and leads you to a very purple room.

You can come in if you'd like. It's the most purple you'll ever see, I promise you that! Well, from here on, you can come in or walk on.
