Level 422

Category:Class Habitable __NOTOC__
Level 422 is the 423rd level of the backrooms.
Description
This level was only recently discovered by an unnamed wanderer, and later made home by groups of people. As of now, info remains pretty scarce so anything discussed here is either from rumors or from the people themselves.
When you first spawn in the level, you are greeted with lots of bioluminescent plants, including but not limited to hydrangeas, cynthias, and orchids. The very few that have encountered this level describes the first-time experience as "a comforting and calming endeavor". These flowers are considered edible by some of the residents, while others prefer to care to the flowers in their spare time.
The ground can vary, from having a wood-tiled, crisp floor to water that acts like a floor. Strangely enough, this water does not slow you down neither does it make you wet. You can collect this water as drinking supply, as it grants you effects similar to almond water. Witness reports say it tastes "like a tinge of rose and vanilla".
Saturated, LED lighting can be found in some areas shining tiny bits of light. These are speculated to bring atmosphere to the level, but it also seems to help flowers grow. Wether it be in the form of making their petals slightly brighter or making them a tiny bit taller, gardeners usually set their greenhouses near these lights whenever possible.
The sounds you will hear in this level depend widely on which areas you reside in. If near an outpost or colony, you will hear lots of talking or pouring water. First getting into the level however, will only be the sounds of your feet walking on the ground, so it is possible that some may be disturbed by the lack of sound. Even with this property, wanderers will never turn into wretches, instead reversing the process instantly until they are in their regular forms again.
The level may have an isolating quality, but it is very scarce. You will only witness this quality when you are in vicinity of the spawn area, reaching about ~3 meters before dissipating entirely.
Areas
Areas in this level will vary based on safety and qualities, so they will be ranked on their own.
<tabber>
|-| Penthouse=
The penthouse is an area you can reach once you have walked 5 meters north from the spawn area. From the outside, it looks like a white penthouse right in the middle of a lake in the luscious garden. At this point, the ground will turn into the water mentioned earlier.
If you go inside the penthouse, you will notice lots of lights inside as well as vending machines filled with food. Even though there is a credit card tab on them, you don't actually need money to get food, as when you approach the machines, a card that you can insert is teleported to your pocket so that you can get the food from these.
The penthouse has 3 floors, each having their own vending machines. The first floor, the lobby, has about ~15 people running it. It is the least resourceful floor, only having tables that have drinks ranging from almond water to neon water that regenerate in 0.5 seconds.
The second floor is used as a pool area, where you can just relax and swim. The pool, suprisingly, has healing effects as staying in it for prolonged time will heal any physical wounds you may have. It will also elliviate your trauma so that it does not effect you as much, so it has become a popular place where some colonies reside.
The third floor is the actual rooms, where you can stay at the penthouse. These rooms include a view of the level, a bed, a flatscreen TV that suprisingly has internet, and a fridge filled with resources.
|-| Ocean Reefs=
This area is not found by walking but instead, can be gotten to by jumping on the ground when it is replaced by water. You have to jump 5 times before the barrier that keeps you from swimming in the water suddenly breaks and causes you to sink into the ocean depths. Thankfully, you can breathe and see in this water as if you were still on land, just with swimming physics.
There are many fish in this area, most notably next to the corals. The fish are friendly, and the only worst thing they will do will swim away once they see you. The real dangers though, are the corals they reside in. The corals are sharp, and even stepping on them will cause a minor blister.
People swimming in this area have also documented seeing an entity roaming the waters, only appearing to stare at you and apparently "give you so much chills down your spine you wont look at this level the same." So far, no evidence has been reported as far as pictures go.
|-| Floral Spa=
When you walk atleast 3 meters north-west from spawn, you will get to the spa. This spa has several pools, each with their own unique lighting and flora. Once you step into one of the pools, a euphoric feeling will wash over you almost instantaneously, maknig you stay in there for hours at a time.
Even with these anomalous effects, researchers have concluded that there are no harmful side effects from staying in the pools too long. Pools can reach 22°C (or 72°F), which is considerably warm. But if you are feeling too warm or too cold, drinks will spawn near you that can range from hot cocoa to iced tea, depending on how you feel. Drinking these will instantly make you feel the right tempurature, allowing you to stay even longer.
The pools have been documented to smell considerably good, with smells (and possibly flavors) ranging from vanilla, to citrus, to mandarin. The pool colors also match with their smells (so for example, a chocolate pool would look brown).

Logs
The following were logs that have been retrieved by the M.E.G. as far as evidence goes.
Discovery Log:A Welcome Stay
Hello... uh is this thing working? Oh yea, it is. So, this is my first log, my name's █████ and i've just discovered a really weird anomaly in Level -989. I've been here for.. how long was it? 3 hours? Yea..
So.. let me try to explain..
-You can hear the camcorder turning on-
There's this odd flower in the middle of one of the pools and I don't even know how to explain it.. maybe an enterance to another level? I'm not sure. But I feel like taking my chances here would be a better option.. this level is already dangerous enough and I don't wanna spend another second around these discomforting waterslides.
-You can hear the wanderer noclipping into the flower with the camcorder noclipping in as well-
W-what the hell? Wait.. I think this is a habitable level! Finally!
Everything looks so beautiful with all the glowing flowers and- *sigh*
All my trauma from that last level seems to have dissipated.. almost entirely.
You know what? I'll just.. end the log here. I wanna enjoy this moment while I can..
Log:Tranquility
Hey, █████ here from that last log.. I don't even know why I bothered making a second one. But this level was all i needed.. a break.
People keep trying to find an exit to this hellhole, and even started going to other places. But I just wanna stay here for once. I have read all the info I can on those "heavenly" levels. But there's always some stupid tradeoff or dark side to those.
I just want a truly safe haven that isin't a fucking lie. Is that really too much to ask for? Is it?
Well, this is probably even better than going back home. Even though i still miss my family.. friends.. I want to go back there and talk to them atleast. But this relaxing, paradise-esc life is just too good to throw away.
I feel conflicted. Just torn in 2 pieces, if you get what I'm going for. I just...
-You can hear the wanderer sighing-
I-I'll just end this one here too.. I don't wanna get into this stress too much.
Entities
Other than the butterflies and fish found throughout the level whom are also glowing, there is only 1 other entity in this level, though unconfirmed.
Residents have started calling this the "Sea Monster" because of how it lurks in Ocean Reefs. The only documented reports of this entity is of it staring at you and essentialy giving you chills, but when interviewing the people again after they saw it, they "had the feeling reverse once they entered the spa".
