The sounds of the cafe died behind him, and Audrey was able to catch a glimpse of flashing light. He grinned walking over to his pad and reading the message. The instant his finger stroked the screen he shed of his good boy image and he, the pad and the plates were sucked into a world of blinking numbers that mirrored neurological synapse discharges. Bit's of data surrounded him until he was in his virus guise. His feet landed softly on the checkered pattern floor. Around him his shadow flickered dancing with the candle light. Gingerly he weaved his way through the lamp post that guided the way around the base of the Castle. Audrey's eyes took in the sight of the castle. It was a giant spiral tower made of old brick. Above him an intricate gold chandelier, around it in a sporadic manner that remind him of stars, were candles. He could not see it, but it appeared as if the candles were leveled in the giant space to give even light to each of the floor and rows of doors. He noted that there were many doors, thousands upon thousands of tales and above each one hung a lantern as well.

In the warmly glowing room he finally spotted the other, or whom he thought was the other. Audrey skipped to him, reaching inside his billowy jacket to produce the two pieces of cake, and tuck his ipad away. Audrey idly waved his hand, rather then audibly voicing his opinion, where his hand traveled tiny blue lcd lights formed the words he didn't speak. “Where have you taken us?” He summoned a pair of forks from his jacket as well handing one to who he thought was the elderly hacker. Around him he had gathered a few candles to aid them with more light.
