The Ballroom

Hanging from the peaked ceiling thirty feet above, 
an art deco chandelier shines.  
You can see its reflections in the marble floor, 
which is a deep green with whirls of gold. 
Behind the black slate bar built into the west wall, 
Lucy is making drinks.  
Sunken down two steps is a large, octagonal dance area. 
Obvious exits: north to Ballroom Foyer, 
northeast to Men's Dressing Room,
northwest to Women's Dressing Room, 
and south to Dance Floor. 
You see Lucy, The Great Big Giant Birthday Card, 
plate of cheese, MediaMOO
Award Plaque, plate of cookies, and Robo Ninja-Librarian here. 
You pause in the doorway of The Ballroom, gazing around the ballroom. 
A voice announces, "Maxi".

You step onto the dance floor.
Dance Floor 
The large, octagonal dance area is inside the ballroom, 
set two steps down.
The floor here is a polished mahogany, 
which reflects the lights of the chandelier above. 
Obvious exits: north to The Ballroom

instrumentation change to perfectly
suit each song!  You realize that they are 
actually a very nice hologram, 
with simulated 3d audio output!
