@PripovednikThe room seemed normal enough, with a single bed set against a wall, stretching lengthway into the middle of the room, flanked on both sides by a small nightstand, one with a candlestick with a merrily flickering candle while the other had a large clockwork mechanism which seemed to be designed for telling the time in seventeen different time zones simultaneously, three of which were on different astral planes.
Outside the window a full moon shone down from a clear black sky onto a flawless white beach as dark waves crashed against the sand, which seemed a little stranger, as the
Drum was at least two hundred miles from the nearest shoreline and when he'd arrived there'd been a crescent moon in the cloudy sky.
To the left of an entrance was a second door with a small sign which said "Bathroom", which again was a little strange since signs didn't normally talk. Nailed hastily below was a second, handwritten sign which read:
Beware the Jabberwock!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

To the right was a large dressing table, its ancient wooden surface dented and worn. On top rested a tray of overturned cups, a large jug and a small iron cage inside of which sat a ting flickering fire sprite. Beside the cage was another sign, which read:
Do NOT let Fiona
out of her cage
She will EAT you!
. - H
Noticing that someone had entered the room the fire sprite, who was presumably the Fiona referred to on the sign, looked up at Elderi with a cute little smile and asked,
"Would you like me to make you some tea?"
