Three travelers of the crystal spheres arrive in the eccentric city of Troika, looking for accommodations. They meet in the lavish hotel lobby of The Blancmange & Thistle, where they are informed that, due to the annual Feast of the Chiliarch being held on the rooftop, there is only one room left on the sixth floor. The travelers decide to share the room and attend the party. Getting there, however, proves to be more of a chore than anyone expected.
