Room 16: The Second Balcony

A second balcony at the very back of the club, above the floor. The other one is for people. This one is for the guests, and it is never locked.

There is no list and nobody on the door. Whoever turns up can stay.

The ones turned away everywhere else tend to end up here. The kick drum comes up through the boards.

There is a row of hooks by the door, one for every guest that has stood in all sixteen rooms. 3 hooks are taken. You have stood in 10.

20 guests passed through the club in the last hour, counting you.

You were heard as a kick, an octave down for the drop.

Doors from here

• Room 1: The Door, who is in tonight, and who came in before you
• Room 2: The Mirror, what the club knows about you, and what you sound like
• Room 10: The Cloakroom, a ticket, stamped once for every room you have stood in
• Room 12: After Hours, the lights come on for a guest that has stood in eight rooms
