In AlcheME’s lounge is a ball pit, just in front of the door -- well, it’s not easy to tell since it the entrance is part of the reflective floor. Dramatically slamming down your hand on a certain section of the fountain (or just using your phone) will slide a section of the floor away, dropping any unfortunates onto a spiral glittering gemstone slide that drops them directly into the deep end of the ball pit, which itself is set up much like a pool. It’s rectangular, with a gradiated floor that goes from shallow to deep so that the last thing your enemies see before they are consumed by the orbs is your laughing face.
Well, that and also everyone who didn’t fall for the trap as they enter the room the ball pit is in via a set of large, ornate and forboding dark violet double doors marked with Ancient Glowing Runes™. This door is accessible once the trap has been sprung: a small staircase in the floor opens a few feet away from the trap door, which opens up to a mirrored tunnel which makes...strange water dripping noises? There’s no water in here.
At the end of the tunnel is the door, with a plaque that reads “OFFICE” and a green/red “OCCUPIED” sign below that to inform you whether any poor souls have fallen into darkness or if someone is just enjoying the ball pit.
The shallow end of the ball pit as a ledge-wide staircase that allows simple entry into the pit, and a pedestal right at the entrance has a dial which allows for controlling the colour of the dark, constantly shifting lighting that reflects off mirrored surfaces hanging from the ceiling.
