  A clump of people hurries past.
  
  > go east
  The occupant of this office is asleep over her desk. Possibly as a result of this, there is a pile of untidy paperwork on the floor. A door leads west.
  
  > put all in the bag
  A dog barks somewhere.
  
  > Go east
  A fine wooden desk stands in front of you. A chair, placed before it, seems to beckon. The surroundings are decorated, carpet and wallpaper hiding the plain floor and walls. One of the walls has a framed picture attached to it. A fine wooden door stands to the east, a dark wooden door to the north, a pale wooden door to the south, and an empty frame to the west.
  
  On the wooden desk is a notepad.
  
  You can see a suitcase (closed), a storeroom photograph and a screwdriver here.

  Mr Blue arrives from the east.
  
  > go west
  The stench of offal hangs in the air.The walls drip with fresh blood. An ugly table supports plates and a massive assortment of cutlery. This is not an environment that encourages rational thought. Empty doorframes lead north, east, south and west.
  
  Mr Blue arrives from the east.
  
  > go to the north
  You stand upon a small stone patio, surrounded by plants. Ripe fruit dip from vines, tempting you with their colours. An ornamental fountain gurgles to your left. Daylight peeks through the heavy layer of greenery above. A dense perfume almost overwhelms you. You can go deeper, to the north. The kitchen is to the south. Stone walls bar all other directions.
  
  Mr Blue arrives from the south.

  Whatever work is being done here, it looks important. Complex instruments are poised, books are open, and the tables that clutter the room have not one square-inch of space unused. You COULD begin to understand it all, but it would take time.
