BENEVOLENT KITCHEN: LEVEL OBSERVED WITHIN THE BACKROOMS, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS LEVEL 70 N. THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER HAS BEEN OBSERVED WITHIN THIS SPACE FOLLOWING ENTRANCE INTO A ROOM WHERE VOICES COULD BE HEARD IN PREVIOUS LEVEL.
LEVEL STRUCTURE RESEMBLES THAT OF A STANDARD HOUSE INTERIOR ON THE BRIGHT STAGE. ITS LAYOUT, UNLIKE OTHER BACKROOM LEVELS, IS DEFINITE, PRIMARILY CONSISTING OF TWO ROOMS- A DINING AND KITCHEN AREA- AND AN ENTRANCE. TEMPORAL FIXATION NEAR THE END OF A BRIGHT CYCLE CAN BE OBSERVED THROUGH WINDOWS IN THIS LEVEL. NO ENTITIES ARE PRESENT IN THIS SPACE, AND NO WIRELESS NETWORKS HAVE BEEN DETECTED, MAKING INTER-LEVEL COMMUNICATION IMPOSSIBLE WHILE WITHIN THIS SPACE.
THE ENTRANCE IS WHERE WANDERERS USUALLY FIRST ARRIVE IN THIS LEVEL, AS EXPERIENCED BY THE SUBJECTED ROTWATCHER. THE FRONT DOOR IS INITIALLY LOCKED, AND NEXT TO IT ARE SHELVES CONTAINING KEYS, ACCESSORIES, AND EMPTY FRAMES.
DINING AREA CONSISTS OF A TABLE WITH CHAIRS SURROUNDING IT. AT THE TABLE'S CENTER ARE COMPONENTS SUCH AS EMPTY DISHES, A BASKET, AND A DECORATIVE CONTAINER. THESE STRUCTURES ARE GENERALLY TIDY AND CLEAR OF MESS, THOUGH A SINGLE STRAND OF HAIR CAN OCCASIONALLY BE FOUND.
MOST OBJECTS FOUND IN THE KITCHEN AREA ARE OBSERVED IN PAIRS, NEATLY ARRANGED. THIS SPACE IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF PHENOMENA CHARACTERISTIC TO THIS LEVEL, IN WHICH FOOD RESOURCES WILL MATERIALIZE IF THE AREA IS NOT OBSERVED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THESE FOODS RESEMBLE THAT OF HOME-COOKED MEALS AND USUALLY CONSIST OF TWO KNOWN TYPES OF MEALS, THAT BEING A MAIN COURSE AND AN ACCOMPANYING DISH. TASTE VARIES BETWEEN OVERALL DISHES, THOUGH QUALITY IS CONSIDERABLY ABOVE-AVERAGE THROUGHOUT. THESE MEALS CARRY SIDE-EFFECTS FOLLOWING CONSUMPTION, IN WHICH THE CONSUMER'S MENTAL STATE IS IMPROVED. AS THIS COOKING PHENOMENON OCCURS AT REGULAR INTERVALS SO LONG AS KITCHEN AREA REMAINS UNOBSERVED, MANY WANDERERS UTILIZE THIS LEVEL AS PERMANENT HOMES. A FEW WANDERERS EVEN TESTIFY MEMORIES OF LIFE ON THE BRIGHT STAGE FADING FOLLOWING CONTINUED CONSUMPTION OF THESE MEALS.
MATERIALIZATION AND TASTING OF MEALS PRODUCED BY THIS PHENOMENON HAS BEEN OBSERVED BY THE SUBJECTED ROTWATCHER. OVERALL MEAL CONSISTS OF A BOWL OF THICK NOODLE SOUP- COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS UDON- AND A SINGLE TASTE SIMULACRUM OF THE CITRUS BRIGHT-FRUIT KNOWN AS AN ORANGE. IT IS ASSUMED MATERIALIZATION OF THE SIMULACRUM CYST ORIGINATES FROM MEMORIES OF THE ROTWATCHER'S LOST PROGENITOR; HOWEVER, IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY A UDON BOWL SPECIFICALLY MATERIALIZED FOR THE ROTWATCHER. THE SUBJECTED ROTWATCHER EXPERIENCES PLEASANT TASTE STIMULATIONS THROUGH SAMPLING BOTH DISHES, ALONG WITH RECOLLECTION OF BOTH THE LOST PROGENITOR'S MEMORIES AND THE ROTWATCHER'S OWN EXPERIENCE IN THE FORMER GRAND STAGE.
DESPITE POSITIVE FEELINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECOLLECTION, THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER IS OBSERVED TO RESUME EXPLORATION FOLLOWING CONSUMPTION. RESEARCH THE EMPTY FRAMES FOUND IN THE LEVEL'S ENTRANCE SUGGESTS THE STRUCTURES COULD FUNCTION AS A VALID NO-CLIP LOCUS. THE ROTWATCHER PLANS TO TEST THIS THEORY DIRECTLY AND POSSIBLY UNDERGO LOCATIONAL EXCHANGE IN THE PROCESS.
