	Twilight decides to look in the greenroom.

Trotting down the hall, Twilight sneaks around a corner and into a door just beside the door to the auditorium's backstage area. Twilight takes a cautious look inside the room before finally trotting fully inside.

The greenroom is a pretty roomy greenroom. About ten by fifty feet, and ten feet tall, the room feels like a kind of oasis from the dark, expansive hallway of The Performing Arts Wing. Couches line the walls, with small coffee tables separating each of them from each other. Unlike the hallway, the greenroom was lit with a yellowish light emanating from a rustic lamp in each of the four corners of the room - save for the corner with the door Twilight had just walked in from. The yellowed lights of the room revealed a ridiculously green carpet, plain white walls, and an ornate ceiling. There is also a door on the opposite side of the room from where Twilight had just trotted in from, but after trying the handle, the door seemed to be locked.

Also in the room was a small tape, and a tape recorder. The tape recorder has a small mic attached to it - which appears broken. However, a speaker on the tape recorder still looks like it's in good working condition. Out of curiosity, Twilight placed the tape in the tape recorder and played back the tape:



 Apple Bumpkin, The Greenroom Prank: "Ever since Andset Ryshimmer auditioned for her first play here at Rapture, the whole performing arts structure collapsed; she became the most popular student in the school on the first week of the first play's performance. When that happened, all the other students, and us student actors for that matter, just sank into the shadows... It wasn't until Babs locked the door of the green room to the auditorium's backstage area as a prank on Andset in order to get back at her that the fire really began though. When Andset tried to get into the backstage area from the greenroom for her queue in the play, she couldn't open the door! It was hilarious, and it was everything we could do to keep from laughing our faces off as Andset practically tried every way to open a locked door which we could think of, no matter how ridiculous. She finally used the other door in the hallway for to get into the backstage area, of course. Babs probably should have tried locking that one too - although, she might have been caught if she tried locking it out there, and the only way she kept from getting caught locking the door in the greenroom was to hide the key under the couch next to the backstage door. The prank was good though. Good times, good times.



After listening to the tape, Twilight ducked down and looked under the couch next to the backstage door and saw a key caked with dust. After lifting the key and blowing the dust off, Twilight placed the key in a pouch she had strapped to her side ever since she had first trotted into Princess Celestia's throne room. After thinking about this for a moment, Twilight figured that any other locked doors in Rapture High would need a specific key in order to open those specific doors, and the only way to find those specific keys was to look around and see if she could find them in any of the unlocked rooms.

After having an insightful reflection, Twilight looked around the room once more and found nothing else of interest.

So, where to go next?
