[the middle of the floor is crowded, but Tek can make an easy escape by skirting towards the edge of the cave and continuing to follow the wall. there are some people mingling here and there in little groups, and the less-social attendees pretty much live back here, but it isn't hard to wander by without being noticed any more than usual.
Robin was right about there being back rooms... sometimes the slope of the wall changes dramatically, opening up into smaller sub-chambers. some are very low, requiring party-goers to sit or duck their heads if they don't want to hit the ceiling. some are proper tunnels that lead to a flight of stairs, up or down. there are also a couple-dozen man-made alcoves all over the cave, at varying heights above the ground. they're just deep and tall enough for two people to sit comfortably and facing each other, but not much else. a few of these are a good fifteen feet off the floor, accessible only by rungs carved into the wall itself.
there are a couple of standing pools of water in this cave, mostly off to the side. one such pool is in Tek's path, sending flecks of rippling light to shimmer against the rock wall behind it. much like a flickering candle, it seems to have attracted a number of nighttime insects--poets, artists, and doomed romantics, probably--all sitting around, crouched or reclining, chatting quietly with each other. Tonic can be spotted nearby, in the group but not technically participating. he's standing by himself, idly watching the stage, sending a long stream of cigarette smoke drifting away from the good side of his mouth.]
