>Can we crane our neck back far enough to see the other side of our injured shoulder?

>"Ah," says Yumemi. "That would be the work of an electric rifle. They are supposed to be nonlethal and just used for subduing people. Not that I imagine you could feel the difference. You'll be fine with a bit of rest, I imagine."
>You can get a sort of glimpse, but not really. You don't see any red, at least.

>"Quite better than the alternative yes," says Yumemi. You think you can hear a distant voice in the background of her communication, and she says, "Got to go, should be free in, oh, five minutes or so."

>You head to one of the three doors in the room, picking the one that leads to the hallway, and listen out of it. You can distantly hear some kind of hubbub.

>You open the door, and look inside to see the motif of white walls and golden trims and scrollwork has been continued. The room is smaller a bit smaller than the other one, and you can see a define curve to the outer wall. There are more wide chairs and tables here, some one set at every window, and others at various points in the room. Some are set close to large objects that seem to be musical instruments; you see a harp larger that Ruukoto is tall and a large desk-like thing with a number of black and white keys along its side. Another large chandelier hangs from the ceiling, lighting the room. You can spot another door on the far wall, and another that would open toward the hall. Carpets cover the floor here as well, bearing an abstract design that matches that on the walls and ceiling. Obvious exits are South, East, and West.

>"Well, um, I do kind of like the harpsichord," says Ruukoto, glancing toward the large keyed instrument. "The Professor promised she was going to give me some music programs, but she hasn't done it yet..."
>You make your way toward the eastern door. It is practically identical to the one you just used; the only different is the small portrait painted into the an opening in the scrollwork along its frame, of some person with a fantastically-bushy beard.

>You're pretty sure it's not a window, while you could imagine a window being placed for decorative purposes. You also know what a flat image looks like and you're certain this is one.

>"Yeah, isn't it huge?" says Ruukoto. "I think that's the first chancellor from Yaruna, about...um, centuries ago? I don't know, the Professor never made me with any history, so I've just had to pick up things. But I guess it would be, the Emperor's own roots are from there and he still holds some of there old customs."
>You really haven't. Even the men you saw in the village couldn't compare to it.
