Wherever you are, you're not alone. The ground rises and falls beneath you in rhythmic pattern A dyad of quiet snoring fills the air, tipping you off that there may be more than one person here in the room. In fact, it's all but confirmed for you that there's a couple beneath the bedspread when the landscape rolls and reshapes itself as one them twists and moves independently of the other.
You desperately sidestep and dodge the oncoming waves of fabric from said movement until the immense being subsides, seemingly content in its new position, at least for now.

You've got to get a move on or you;re going to end up either lost inside a wrinkle or smushed, and nether of those options sound very fun. All you need is something is something to help guide you... That's it!
Snapping your fingers, you remove your backpack and set it down, then unzip the the pouch and begin fishing around, pushing aside all the other doodads you brought until your hand closes around a small, hard object. Grinning giddily,you withdraw your phone and click the button on the side to reveal the home screen, then swipe down to activate the flashlight function. A narrow beam of light shoots out the other end, creating a decently visible circle of light on the bedspread.
This should provide you with enough illumination that you won't be tripping over yourself in the dark.
You zip up the pouch and resettle the pack over your shoulders, pulling the straps tight with a determined look on your face.
Now you're ready to face the unknown.
