 
 _setting_name Meditation room, Inside Temple 
 _setting_desc The floor and walls are wooden and polished to a shine. Golden meditating statues line the walls, the air is cool and many monks sit still with their eyes closed on mats on the ground. In the far center of the room there is a giant golden Buddha towering over everyone in its pedestal.

 _self_emote sigh 
 _self_say Aaaah, cool and quiet at last. 
 _partner_say What brings you here traveler? Just looking for a rest? 
 _self_act remove cloak 
 _self_say Just stopping here for a moment, kind monk, if it's no trouble to you.  I've come from quite a distance and there's still some journey ahead, I fear. 
 _partner_say Certainly it is not, all are welcome here. 
 _self_emote smile 
 _self_say Goodness, but I don't even think I've been o place so quiet and peaceful.  Feels almost like I should be whispering. 
 _partner_say Well this is the meditation room, we try and keep it serene for all here. 
 _self_emote ponder 
 _self_say I don't think I've heard tell of this place before.  Has this temple been here long?  It seems strange that no one on the road saw fit to mention this serene place to us, and it being right off the main road, too. 
 _partner_say We get some travelers, not terribly many. Mostly individuals on pilgrimages such as the one you see over there. 
 _self_act get candle 
 _self_say Well let me grab the.. say, that's funny.  This candle looked new and fresh when I saw it but, now that I've picked it up, it looks burned almost to nothing.  And there's... is that dust?  What is going on here... 
 _partner_say Whatever are you speaking of? 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say I-I think I should go.  Something just isn't right about the place.  I j-just be taking my leave.  Wait, where is the door?  I'm sure it was just over there! 
 _partner_say Door? 
 _partner_emote grin 
 _self_emote cry 
 _self_say Wait... I remember... there was a temple long ago that burned to the ground the stories say... b-but that was years ago!  Oh, p-please let me out!
