THE LIMINAL SPACE MUSEUM C2R2

THE LIMINAL SPACE MUSEUM

The Liminal Space Museum is found deep beneath thieves market (the rundown, broken beauty where they all keep their secrets). You climb down a pink metal railing inside her long neck and float about the ever-changing masterpieces of her mind. She doesn’t call herself a ride, she’s an attraction. She’s been harassing me to change the map, but she also knows there’s no way I can get hold of Rose before next April. I understand her frustration, but she does like to start conflict. She’s always in some kind of argument with the art-makers and the ones who make the name tags for the pieces. 

RIDE OPERATOR: INKA: 

Inka she stormed out of the pages of ETERNAL INKA in a fury. Why, WHY had her best days not been chronicled and only the beginning of her story? She went on to achieve great fame after her storybook ended, so they say. Nonetheless she still paints paintings, here inside her lost museum. Her and her museum argue with each other from time to time but only because they secretly want to and no one else in Everything-World will give either of them the time of day. She DOES believe in artists, in a way no one yet can comprehend. She practices make-believe magic tricks with her question cards.
