Had someone caught a cold? It was hard to tell with all the paper faces on parade, but there was a dull sort of wheeze coming from somewhere. Difficult if not downright impossible to hear over the sound of the music, it was infrequent enough that one could easily ignore it.

One thing that may be a little more difficult to ignore was how foot prints began to fade into existence around the far perimeter of the Atrium nearest the floos. Haphazard sorts of footprints found in a sparkly green dust and accompanying smoke that creeped its way along the floor.
