Louvre It or Leave It (Relativity Start)

From A KoL Wiki

You stop for a moment as some sort of large knobbly wheel rolls past you. As you watch, it unrolls into some sort of giant lizard/centipede and walks through a doorway. You try to catch up to it, but it's already vanished.

or

You stop for a moment and watch a worried-looking teenage girl chasing a tall blond rockstar around the stairs and ledges in the distance. She reminds you of someone, but you can't remember who.

or

The stairway leads you to a queue of hooded monks walking up a spiral staircase. You get in line in the hopes that they'll lead you to the exit, but after following them for nearly an hour, you don't seem to get anywhere. Man, it's worse than the DMV. You give up and look for another exit.

  • The lizard/centipede is from House of Stairs, another of Escher's prints, which also features such a set of staircases.
  • The worried-looking girl chasing a tall blond rockstar is a reference to the film Labyrinth – in the final scene, a worried girl (a young Jennifer Connelly) chases a tall blond man (played by David Bowie) around a maze of stairs inspired by Relativity. The fact that 'she reminds you of someone' is a reference to the song 'Magic Dance' from the soundtrack to the film, which starts with the lyrics "You remind me of the babe / What babe? / Babe with the power / What power? / Power of voodoo / Who do? / You do / Do what? / Remind me of the babe".
  • The hooded monks are from Ascending and Descending, another of Escher's prints.
