Second Floor

[Nik]

On the second floor there is a training room which takes up most of the second floor. It is about the size of a basketball court, which is what they used for in the evenings. It has a hard wood floor, statues of the gods lining the walls, and a vaulted ceiling with pictures of Ancient Egyptian rocking that sideways walk they always do. On the baseline walls, they stuck falcon-headed statues of Ra perpendicular to the floor, ten feet up, and hollowed out their sun-disk crowns so they could use them for basketball hoops. Carter uses the training room for his Magic Problem-Solving 101 class, the trainees call it Whatever Works. His rules to his class are: you can leave once you defeat your partner (shabti).
