Description summary:
The description varies based on the Airs of the Labyrinth. After The Games Approach reaches 312, an extra paragraph may also be added based on the Sixth Coil: Verbs.

Airs	Description
1 – 9	To see is to be; you are where you were looking.
10 – 29	You pass a gallery of distorted mirrors, each a hurtful mockery of your visage.
30 – 39	Here's a corridor that twists upwards and around itself, coiling tighter as you go.
40 – 59	Before you enter the next room, you pass through a vestibule – a little wood-panelled space. The walls are scratched with symbols; nail-marks, at first, then blood.
60 - 69	The sound of clinking glass and rustling feathers follows you as you move.
70 – 79	You awake, bent over a desk in your lodgings. You must have fallen asleep while answering letters. Then you awake again, on the floor of the labyrinth.
80 – 100	You pass through a marble hallway with a checkered floor. Some animal instinct lurking in the back of your head tells you: it is imperative not to step on the black tiles.

Verb	Second Paragraph
11 – 20	From afar – as if through a dream – you hear the Cackling Mechanic curse. All is silent, afterwards.
31 – 40	In a glint of mirror you catch sight of the Patient Mastermind's reflection. When you look closer, there is no mirror there at all.
51 – 60	Blood on the floor. The Weeping Mercenary has passed through here – or something worse.
71 – 80	From around the corner you hear the Bohemian Sculptress' musical laugh. She is, of course, not there.
