The trip back down the Sky High Hotel did not take much longer than the one up did, even though Darius had vowed to take a better look around it to find at least some clue about where he was or what happened here, but all the doors in the hotel were annoyingly closed and locked. It made sense, in a hotel, but it was also slightly frustrating, going through floor over floor of hundreds of thousands of doors, and the only ones Darius was able to open was an old janitors closet, which looked like it had long ago been cleared out, and now all that was left was an empty grey room.

Darius hadn't even been able to get into his old room, not that he remembered which one that was, but he tried every door on the eight floor, and none of them worked, so...

And he couldn't even break off the lock, like he had with the padlock, but t wasn't for lack of trying. Darius had been there for a whole of fifteen minutes banging away at one of the locks with another piece of metal he had grabbed, but it seemed that this time, at least, lock beat metal. Darius had sunk away from the defeat vowing to get revenge, but so far, the hotel had one over him.

But now, on the ground floor, Darius had to admit his crushing defeat. It seemed the hotel was a little too advance for him, at least right now. It seemed the entire hotel had gone on lockdown, closing it's doors forever to the outside world and whatever disaster had plagued Bottleneck city. Where their even people here anymore? With the dinosaurs outside (how had they even gotten off the islands... how did they even exit?!), Darius doubted it. But then again, this wasn't some far off, secluded island, this was a city. People wouldn't give their city up easily, Darius knew. People didn't give anything up really, they just took, in his experience.

Darius checked the last door on the ground floor, door number one, and sighed. Once again, locked. It seemed he wouldn't be able to get into any of these rooms, unfortunately. Not that he'd really been thinking he could. He had already given up at floor seven.

Darius' head was hung low as he headed out of the hallway, but he brightened right up again when he saw the room he had wandered in to. The main entrance with the receptionist desk! There must be something here! Spirits revitalized, Darius hurried towards the rotting wooden desk that sat looking across the room at the entrance. Darius crinkled his nose as he came closer, but he didn't stop until he was behind the desk and looking through all the cabinets that were there. They, unfortunately, were locked, too, but unlike the door locks, Darius knew exactly how to deal with these locks.

"Come on, come on," Darius muttered to himself, moving back out from under the desk to the main room. Unlike most of the rooms in the hotel, it wasn't completely empty, there were scattering of old furniture set up in the large room, some of it right side up, but a lot of it upside down and on its side, like it have been thrown into this room. A lot of furniture, actually; matching chairs and bedframes and couches, all set up in here like it was a furniture store instead of the front of a hotel. It seemed like everything throughout all twelve floors had been taken out and put here, for some reason.

Darius stared at it, confused. The dinosaurs didn't do this. The only explanation had to be humans. But... why? He couldn't deny that it looked like the comfiest room in existence, if not the cleanest... but still, why?

Eventually, Darius just shook his head, and got back to work, looking under and around the multitude of furniture scattered around. But there was no debris on the floor, not like in any of the hallways... no, it looked like this place was swept clean.
