HENHURST 🐔 IN GENERAL
FLOOR 1 🚇 TRAIN STATION
When you enter Henhurst Hall through it's large double doors, you might be surprised to find the ceiling tall and domed, like a train station. The interior is decorated with elaborate tilework from the floor to the ceiling, and is lit by stained glass chandeliers.
The common area looks like a a little cafe with small tables and big brass windows that show the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley. The kitchen is a continuation of the train station cafe, complete with a counter to sit at.
The rooms resemble luxurious antique sleeper cars on a train, with low ceilings and beds bolted into wall cubbies. There are thick velvet curtains you can pull closed for extra privacy, and if you do, sometimes just as you're drifting to sleep you can hear the soothing noise of a train running along the tracks. The bathrooms on this floor are on the cramped side, but those beds are cozy.
Every day at 3:00 PM and 3:00 AM, the first floor and only the first floor rumbles and shakes as though a large train is rolling by right above your heads.
The manager's office is located on this floor, and it's usually where you'll find Willoughby Sprout.
FLOOR 2 🍟 FLAVOURTOWN
The second floor immediately makes you feel as though you walked into a kitschy themed diner restaurant, with it's cheerful red lamps and checkerboard laminate floor. A neon sign proclaims that you're in FLAVOURTOWN now. Food decals decorate the hallway, and your shoes squeak as you walk.
The common area has booth seating lining the walls and big windows that open onto the street. There's a hole in the wall that reveals the remains of the exploded restroom that killed Morty. There's mourners' graffiti written on the bathroom stalls in sharpie from before it was part of Henhurst. ("RIP dude." "Morty was a real one.") The kitchen here is the most robust.
The rooms have those same laminated floors and brightly colored furniture, like if a Johnny Rockets was given responsibility for designing a bedroom set. The handles on all the drawers and cabinets are tiny plastic foods.
An animatronic rooster dressed like Elvis sometimes serenades you as you eat.
Morty's janitorial closet/unliving space is on this floor.
FLOOR 3 ⛪ OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL CLUCKS
It looks like the interior of an old cathedral on the third floor, with high ceilings, dark carved wood, and grand stained glass windows depicting... chickens? Yes, it seems as though this church had a bit of a mishap with Forsythe's love of poultry, and now they're what's worshipped here. The whole floor smells softly of incense and feathers.
The common area has pews lined up to face the big stained glass window, which depicts Sir Forstythe holding a chicken in his arms like it's baby Jesus. At the front is a podium, making this a great place to hold meetings. There are several confessionals along the west wall, which are useful for studying or making out in.
The rooms are similarly decorated in finely carved dark wood. In addition to the basics (sparse, humble furniture befitting a holy person) each room gets a kneeling prayer bench and a crucifix that hangs over their bed. Jesus' head has been replaced with that of a chicken, but he still watches you as you sleep.
There's a large bell that the Brownies like to sleep in, and Morty sometimes rings it in the daytime to upset them.
Vampires cannot enter here. There's a vampire floo-dasher who HATES when people order from this floor late at night.
FLOOR 4 🌷 GRANDMA'S PLACE
Up one more floor you find yourself in an audaciously pink and green hallway, with gaudy wallpaper and plush, almost shag carpeting. The walls are decorated with old paintings of pastoral landscapes (most of which feature chickens), and you get the impression you just walked into the home of a sweet little old lady who really liked the 70's.
The common area looks like a decadent, if kind of tacky, living room. The sofas are all delightfully comfortable, but smell like potpouirri and mothballs. The kitchen is similarly dated, but perfectly functional.
The rooms are in the same style as the common area, with extra large beds, arm chairs, and a huge abundance of pillows. Sometimes, residents swear the pillows multiply. There are always about three more than you actually need. These rooms are all equipped with jet tubs that are big enough to comfortably seat two. Unfortunately, said bathrooms are also densely carpeted.
This is where you'll find the laundry room, which has six washers and driers, racks to hang clothes, and three ironing boards. It's very cozy.
The ghost of an old cat named Droobles resides on this floor, and she won't let Morty pet her. Droobles "sleeps" in a different room every night.
FLOOR 4.5 🦂 THE CAVE
4.5 DESCRIPTION COMING SOON (tm)
FLOOR 5 ❔ UNKNOWN
The rumor is that the 5th floor only exists on leap day, but regardless of which, its unknowableness makes it unoccupied. It's said that it looks a lot like a Chuck-E-Cheese (but not even Forsythe can confirm this.)
FLOOR 6 💉 THE HOSPITAL
Bright white tiles and hardwood floors welcome you to the hallway of an old hospital that looks like it's been recently renovated. It still holds onto that spooky, haunted feeling, though, especially at night. The doors that lead to the individual units have little clipboard hanging on them, listing the patient (resident) that lives inside.
The common area looks like a hospital waiting room, with rows of chairs and a nurse's station that remains unattended. The kitchen here is the second best in the building, and is part of a tiny cafeteria. Nothing looks more recent than the 1940's.
The rooms are clean and tiled with that same blue and white. Each bed has an option to pull a light blue curtain around it, and television sets are installed near the ceiling above each bed, so that's nice.
On primary numbered nights, you can hear whisperings in the wall, the voices of... paranormal investigators. Oops, seems like part of this floor's essence is still connected to the rest of the abandoned hospital. If you try to talk to them, sometimes your voice will come through as an EVP.
The first aid room is located on this floor, containing mundane supplies for minor illnesses and injuries and the equipment needed to brew potions.
FLOOR 7 📚 GERMAN LIBRARY
Wooden floors and beautiful rugs lead you down the hall of an old library. Each of the doors that lines the hall looks like it might contain a classroom, and at the far end is a room full of more books than you could read in a lifetime. Unfortunately, every single one of them is in German. The whole floor smells like bourbon and cigars.
The common area is a library with a two-tier layout. You can climb the stairs to reach more books and more little nooks for reading or studying. In lower space there are large and small tables, leather armchairs, and an old parlor and bar that serves as the kitchen. It's a bit lacking, but you can always find an old bottle of booze tucked away somewhere.
The walls of the rooms are lined with yet more bookshelves. Be careful about storing your own books on these shelves, though, as they might spontaneously translate themselves into German. The roll-top desks these rooms feature are enviable.
This floor is particularly drafty at night, as though the library remembers being somewhere very cold once upon a time and just won't stop talking about it.
The private study room can be reserved through Willoughby Sprout.
FLOOR 8 🏡 AMERICANA
The 8th floor looks like six little houses were all shrunken down and smashed into this small area, with each individual flat having its own unique little façade. The hallway sports bright, artificially green grass and a cement sidewalk that leads to an All American backyard at the end.
The common area is lined with white picket fences and the walls are a giant moving mural showing a lush green field with a blue pond. It changes with the time of day, but not the seasons. There's a small in-ground swimming pool and a cheap hot tub, but instead of a proper kitchen there are just a few barbeque grills and coolers.
The rooms look like little suburban dream homes outside and inside, and each have a curtained window out into the hall. The aggressively modern décor includes wall decals like "Live Laugh Love" and "In this house we Let It Go because Hakuna Matata, etc." that you cannot get rid of, even with the most powerful charms.
Sometimes you get passive-aggressive "Friendly reminder :)" notes taped to your door from the Home Owner's Association. No one has ever seen the Home Owner's Association, and they do not answer their doorbell.
ROOF 🌱 GARDEN
On the roof there's a community garden, along with a small brass and glass greenhouse. Anyone in the building is welcome to dig into the dirt and cultivate some flora. You can get a pretty nice view of London from up here.
Willoughby Sprout has claimed a little plot for his beloved tomato plants. The Brownies guard it viciously.
There's also a brick tower with a pointy roof that looks like it was added on last minute. If you climb the rickety spiral staircase, there's a tiny room with a telescope at the top.
