Shred Room 56: Saqqara

Vompatti wrote: Once you’re in the elevator, you visit the floors in this sequence, 4,2,6,2,10,5. It is said that when you reach the 5th floor, a woman will enter, provided you did the ritual right. The woman will ask you where you’re going but you should remain silent. Don’t reply her. Then the elevator will automatically ascend to the 10th floor, instead of going down to the ground floor. When you get to the 10th floor this time, you can leave and you’ll be in an entirely new world. Once you’re tired of the new dimension, you can enter the elevator again and come back to your own world using the same combination. The real scares happen if you answer the woman, nobody who’s ever talked to the woman has lived to tell the tale.

What happens if the building I'm in doesn't have a 10th floor? I think the elevator is supposed to have at least 10 (ten) floors or else it won't work.

The 5th floor is where they keep the cookies.

I was offered a really good deal on property in Guam...can't decide if I should go through with it or not.

It has to be in a building with at least ten floors, yes. But the complexity and size of the alternate realm depends also on several other things. You'll find that buildings you see or enter often will not work as magic is an art based on uncertainty and unknowns. For the best results it should be a building that has history and that ideally inspires awe in yourself. Again, unfamiliarity is a catalyst for magic and frankly if you're not awed by your ritual-building, you might be too familiar with it. Something else to look for for truly fantastical results is buildings with a thirteenth floor that actually lists the thirteenth floor rather than skipping to fourteen. If you're brave enough, try to find a building with exactly thirteen floors.

I listened to Imikuzushi. The second and third tracks outstayed their welcome a bit, but it's otherwise v v cool stuff.

Yeah, SM's. Part of it seems to do with the way it was recorded. It just feels very dull and energy-less even though that probably wasn't the case with the performances.

Also, pertaining O'Rourke and Ambarchi, Behold is neat.
