==Synopsis==
In the middle of Sarah and Dylan wandering around, they stumble into Level 5. They explore the nostalgic looking hotel, talking about some things that could potentially be foreshadowing. In the middle of wandering, they are greeted by a mysterious voice...
==Description==
Its been 5 minutes since we found that piece of paper. We are still wandering around the level, looking for anything else that could potentially be a clue. I am still thinking about the writings. It has to mean something, I just know it.
The scenery of the level still looks the same as before. However, something has caught my attention. When I first entered the level, I remember seeing splotches of water on the carpet and dark spots on the floor, probably where furniture used to be. But, now, those splotches of water and dark spots, dissapeared. Since we found that paper, the splotches of water, just vanished.
Sarah: Hey, something feels strange.
Dylan: Huh? What is it?
Sarah: Have you noticed that the splotches of water you normally see on the carpet in this level are now, gone..?
Dylan: Actually, now that you mentioned it, I have been seeing less and less of those the more that time has passed.
Sarah: Yeah, this is pretty strange. Also, is it just me, or is it starting to get, colorful?
In the middle of saying that, we come across a hallway about half a mile long. It looks the same as the other ones I seen in the level, except without the puddles of water.
Sarah: Oh great, another hallway.
Dylan: Lets just hope we don't run into any smilers. That wouldn't be good.
I then freeze in place for a second. I still have PTSD after that encounter I had with the same smiling thing in that electrical level.
Dylan catches, and he walks back to me.
Dylan: Hey, are you okay..?
I almost started hyperventilating a bit. I don't know why. I guess I was just so scared after that incident, or incidents. I was almost killed, twice, by creatures I have seen out of my nightmares.
Dylan: Hey hey, look at me, it's okay.
Sarah: Sorry, I just started panicing for a bit after you mentioned that, that smiling thing...
Dylan: Huh, I am assuming you encountered one of those before?
Sarah: Yeah, it was in that electrical garage area.
Dylan: Oh, you mean Level 3?
Sarah: Yeah, that area. It is also where I found this.
I pull out the familiar piece of paper I found in that weird room.
Sarah: I found this paper in a strange room in that, Level 3 area. I don't remember exactly where that room was, but I do know it is how I entered here.
We both look at the piece of paper for a couple seconds. I am about to put it away, but Dylan stops me.
Dylan: Wait a second, hold up.
Sarah: What? What's up?
Dylan: Isn't that the same exact writing you said you found in the book?
Confused, I put my stuff down and take out that book. I flip to the page with the familiar writing, and I take out the bookmark that Dylan gave me. I then put the book and the paper side by side.
Sarah: Hey, you're right! These are exactly the same to eachother!
Dylan: So that means the author of this book also wrote this paper?
Sarah: Or maybe its the other way around. The author of this book found the piece of paper, wrote it in the book, and put the paper in the chest so it was in a safe spot. But then why did he leave the book on that table out in the open?
Dylan: I don't know, but we are thinking about this way too much.
Sarah: Yeah, your probably right. I just know this has to be something. Just the amount of connections...
In the middle of talking, we are greeted by these 2 double doors. However, unlike what I saw earlier in the level, these doors look fancy, for some reason...
Sarah: What the, what are these doors doing here in a level like this?
Dylan: Well, you did mention that the splotches of water on the carpet dissapeared. Could that mean these doors are an entrance to another level?
Sarah: It's definetly possible. Should we open them?
Dylan: Well, if it is an entrance to a new level, maybe we should. It may be worth it...
Sarah: Yep, your right. Into the unknown, I guess!
So we open the doors, just to be met with these stairs. Just like the doors however, these look luxurious, they look like the type of floors you find in those fancy resturaunts.
Dylan: Well, ready to enter the unknown?
Sarah: Yep, lets do it!
After that, we both enter the doors and begin walking up the stairs. After what it felt like a solid 15 seconds, we finally get to the surface, only to see what looks like a lobby from a luxurious hotel.
Sarah: Woah, what is this? This is new!
Dylan: Huh, a luxurious hotel lobby, must be Level 5.
Sarah: Level 5, thats what this place is?
Dylan: I think so. I mean, I don't really know so. It could just be a sublevel.
Sarah: Sublevels, you mean like, levels part of levels? 
Dylan: Not exactly. Sublevels are levels labeled with a decimal number, with the integer-part being the parent levels number. Typically, levels are considered sublevels if they have enough connections to their parent level.
Sarah: Ahh, I think I understand now. But wait, how do you know so much? You said you noclipped here like, 2-3 weeks ago!
Dylan: Well before I entered here, I actually used to look on the official database created by all the wanderers of the backrooms. Somehow, they manage to make it so people from the our reality can access it too!
Sarah: Wait, you used to look on a database about, the backrooms? Doesn't that seem kind of stupid?
Dylan: Well, if I was ever going to noclip here, I might as well come here prepared! 
Sarah: Yeah, thats true.
After talking, we decide to walk further in the hotel. I don't know why, but for some reason I have a gut feeling that, I am not safe. Every time I turn hallways in these levels, I feel like something is just going to jump out to attack me.
In the middle of walking, Dylan notices the knife I have in my belt.
Dylan: Wait, where did you get that?
Sarah: Get what?
Dylan: This knife in your little toolbelt thing.
Sarah: Oh this? Well remember when I told you I found the little scroll thing in that strange chest in that Level 3 area? 
Dylan: Yeah. Are you saying you found all of this stuff too?
Sarah: Yeah, I did.
We then turn around a hallway, with it seeming longer than the one we were walking in before. I then think about the recent series of events, then something comes to my mind. 
Sarah: I don't know why, but something just feels off to me. 
Dylan: What do you mean? Is everything ok?
He sounded concerned when he said that. I thought about that for a second. Also the time when he tried calming me down after I almost started to hyperventilate when he mentioned a "Smiler."
Does he, care about me? Does he consider me a friend? I thought about this for a second, but I then snap out of it.
Sarah: Well, I just felt like my journey before I met you just felt too, easy...
Dylan: What do you mean?
Sarah: When I was in that Level 1 area, I suddendly found a bunch of supplies just, lying on the floor.
Dylan: Well, Level 1 does have crates of supplies sometimes.
Sarah: I know that, but its just the fact I also found so much of it. A backpack, tons of food, heck half of my backpack is just filled with food!
I then open the big zipper of my backpack, and half of it is filled with food.
Dylan: Woah, you weren't kidding when you said alot of supplies.
Sarah: Thats not all. I had an encounter with one of those hound things, and just before it went to kill me, I just fell into the area where I found that book. 
Dylan: Yeah, now that you mention it, that does seem strange. Maybe there must be a reason this is happening.
Sarah: Probably, but this also could just be a coincidence.
Dylan: Yeah, probably. 
We are walking down the hallway, looking at all the luxurious looking stuff. Alot of this reminds me of those old fasioned hotels you commonly see in horror movies. I get goosebumps for a split second, but I brush it off. 
We are in the middle of walking, when I turn my head to a staircase to the right. It looks like they lead somewhere.
Sarah: Hey, those stairs. They look like they go somewhere, maybe a new level.
Dylan: Good, lets take them then. I am getting eerie vibes from this place.
As we are about to walk the stairs, we hear an eerie noise coming from behind us. It sounds like a low pitched growl.
Sarah: What is that noise?
We turn to look in the direction of the noise, and it looks like yet another hallway, this one leading to pitch black darkness. 
I take out my knife from my belt, almost in instinct. The sound is getting louder and louder. I started to get a little scared once again, and even back up a bit.
Sarah: What the?! W-who's there? 
The sound stops for a second. But all of a sudden, a giant blue tentacle comes out and tightly grips the arch surrounding the hallway!
Dylan: What the, what the hell is this thing?
More tentacles come out, only to reveal what looks like a giant blue octopus in a suit. I'm about to swing the knife, when the beast, speaks...
???:Well well well, it looks like you two finally appeared...
Sarah: What the, who are you?! What are you doing here?!
???:Oh, little wanderer, I'm not going to kill you. Well, not yet. However...
...
The Beast of Level 5: I think I may have something you are looking for...
