Curtains

You walk into the empty Ballroom, looking around for something interesting to loot or fight, but not finding anything. You're searching behind a curtain when you suddenly hear a riot of activity from one end of the room. You peek out to see what's going on.

In the shadows of the north end of the room, you hear music coming from a gigantic pipe organ. It's a lively but depressing tune, apparently being played for the benefit of the lively but depressing pairs zombies that have appeared on the dance floor.

Nobody seems to have noticed you yet. What would you like to do?

Investigate the organ

Watch the dancers

Pay no attention to the stuff in front of the curtain

Investigate the organ:

With bizarre illegible sheet music:

You approach the organ, and the shadowy figure playing it, but neither of them seem to notice you. As you reach forward to tap him on the shoulder, that sheet of music you found in the bedroom falls out of your sack, and a freak gust of wind blows it up onto the music stand of the organ.

There is a frightening change in both the mood and the music as he begins to play the dire melodies written on the sheet.

As a Disco Bandit:
The music inspires you to dance in a way you've never danced before. A way you've never wanted to dance before, for that matter.

You gain a skill: Tango of Terror

As an Accordion Thief:
You listen closely to the music. You manage to memorize enough of it to play a reasonable facsimile of it, yourself. The accordion isn't much more than a more portable, more annoying version of a pipe organ, after all.

You gain a skill: Dirge of Dreadfulness

As a non-Moxie class or on subsequent visits or without bizarre illegible sheet music:

Start fight with Ghastly organist.

Watch the dancers:

You watch the dancers for a while. Though their steps are old-school, you still learn a thing or two.

You gain 132 Cheek.

pay no attention to the stuff in front of the curtain:

You keep hiding behind the curtain until the noises go away.
