The Mummies Room is south of the Living Room. The Mummies Room is north of the Street Above. "[if the Mummies Room is unvisited]These bodies of men, women, wrapped totally in cotton like mummies, but breathing, circulating blood and fluids through several IVs leading directly into the ceiling... you don't remember how you got here.

Men, women, their forms clearly available through the tight, translucent shrouds. The darkness of the city through the windows, the harsh beams of the helicopter spotlights sending tall shadows across the floor... the bodies seem like chess pieces in their stillness, their potential.

And you don't know how you got here.[end if][if the Mummies Room is visited]These bodies of men, women, wrapped totally in cotton like mummies, but breathing, circulating blood and fluids through several IVs leading directly into the ceiling... [end if]"

The Tea Kettle is a closed, fixed in place, openable container in the Living Room. It is scenery. The description of the Tea Kettle is "[if the player has the beetle]Just drop it in.[end if][if the player does not have the beetle]The tea kettle lies fallow in the corner.[end if]"

The Street Above is south of the Mummies Room. "Below you the traffic flows ceaselessly, like a lava of red and white. The calm indifference of Roy Mustang returns to you as you examine, below your feet, the swollen movement of vehicles through the streets."

A bird is in the Street Above. An airplane is in the Street Above. A beetle is in the Street Above.

The airplane is scenery.

The description of the bird is "It is a small, nearly skinless thing that sings with a faint murmur."

The description of the airplane is "The 247 passengers of Flight 761 are thrown back and forth as you shake the plane, not with malice but merely as a way to keep balance in this nearly zero gravity space."

The description of the beetle is "Roy Mustang has been known to enjoy a crushed beetle in his tea."

The Living Room is a room. "[if the player has the beetle and the Living Room is visited]Roy Mustang's mouth begins to water as he senses the presence of a crushed beetle. [end if][if the Living Room is unvisited]On the couch sits Roy Mustang, a seemingly ageless Korean, his indifference eroding what little humor you are able to muster concerning his appearance: flight jacket, spiky 80s New Wave hair, tall leather boots.[end if][if the Living Room is visited]Roy sits there impassively, attentive to possibly everything except you.[end if]"
