Eventually he manages to reach into the dead nymph's eye, in which the switch is contained and flicks it in one quick motion. The panel in the ceiling drops open. Looking up into the panel, Vincent realizes to his surprise that he is somehow looking down at the theater below. It's as if the panel held a mirror, or there were a second Paradise built upside down on top of this one. But this is no reflection. The Paradise that Vincent sees through the doorway is full of people. The seats are covered with writhing bodies issuing a howling scream, illuminated by the flickering light of a film projector. Ghastly music plays, music that everyone can hear. Those that originally thought it was the "Carmina Burana" realize quite quickly that it is not. The music is strange and alien, deep and resonant, and only the barest melodies have any resemblance to what they thought they heard the first time they came across it.The movie screen is a jumble of shadows and light, amorphous shapes that suggest tentacles, mouths, and eyes, but never resolving into anything definite. As the crowd screams, the floor begins to sink into a vortex and the entire theater collapses into an abyss. The shapes on screen emerge from the abyss, swallowing up the audience. Vincent cannot believe his eyes. [sblock]Vincent - Sanity check passed - Sanity lost = 5[/sblock]It is then with abject terror that Vincent feels the forces within the door trying to pull him into the mass of chaos. Roger feels the tug as well but because he cannot see what Vincent does he has no explanation for the odd phenomana. He pulls with all his might but Vincent's now sweaty hand eventually escapes his and the teenager appears to fall up through the doorway and the panel slams shut behind him.There's a distant scream, and then a slam a moment later as Vincent appears bent across the theater seats below. [sblock]Vincent - 1 damage[/sblock] The boy is covered in a viscous slime and despite a bump on the head, does not appear to be too badly damaged.</blockquote>
