Elevator Score: 0 Moves: 1
It took you a little time to get your vampire costume together, so you've been running late for Gary's costume party. You've arrived now on the ground floor of his high-rise apartment building. Better late than never as they say.
The elevator makes a soft jingle as it opens and you step into the mirrored interior. For a moment you think, struggling to remember Gary's floor number... Oh yes, you remember now, 15. You reach out and push the appropriate button. The doors begin to close but stop suddenly as a slender hand appears. There's another jingle and the doors open again revealing a beautiful, red-headed girl dressed in a toga.
You recognize her from campus although you do not actually know her. For a moment you almost do not see the red rubber snakes entwined with her long red curls. She steps into the elevator and reaches for a button, but stops, apparently seeing that it is already lit.
It seems, you think as the doors close and the elevator begins to move, that this "Medusa" is going to same costume party that you are.

An elevator; pretty much like any other elevator you've ever been in. Your increased weight conveys the sensation of movement and the floor indicator above the closed doors changes as the elevator passes floors. Next to the elevator doors, several dozen buttons are arranged in two rows.
All the walls in this elevator are mirrored and exhibit a matrix of identical vampires and gorgons stretching to infinity in all directions.
A slender, red headed girl dressed as Medusa stands beside you. Her reflections surround you in all directions.
