"Yeah, that's a decent way of putting it. So, onto the second floor? Some of the rooms are kinda normal there but there's one that's simultaneously cool and bizarre."

Permalink

"More weird things, lovely. Well, at least this isn't boring."

Permalink

Slightly nervous giggle. "It is not that. It's kind of a different kind of exciting then I'd planned on though."

Permalink

"It's so exciting, anyway this way to the downstairs." Riley holds open the door for them then leads them down the ramp. "Normal first or weird first?"

Permalink

"...You know what, lets see the weird first."

Permalink

"Well then." Riley walks to the room opposite where the ramp lets out. "Allow me to present what I call the clinic." She opens the door to reveal a compressed hospital ward of sorts. There are what look like high-tech hospital beds with displays over them along the left and right walls as they walk in. The back left corner seems to be a telesurgery unit with a variety of robot arms mounted above and around the tables. The back right corner is set up as a small neonatal unit. In the middle there's what looks to be a traditional exam table with a couple small robotic arms of its own directly in front of them as they walk in. Further back behind that is what looks like a dental chair with a small suite of dental tools mounted on the same sort of spindly arms. Missing is a complete lack of storage spaces.

"...High tech. Also weird, yes. No storage for dressings and things. Unless there's storage elsewhere in the building but that seems inefficient."

"Yep, I'm not really sure what to make of it but I want to learn to use this place. Shall we go to the next room?"

Permalink

"I'm game. You two medical nerds can poke around here more later."

Permalink

"Sure. Onwards." Riley leads them next door. This room has a number of worktables with cabinets lining the right and left walls. The far wall has a counter with two sinks mounted in it. "So this one is probably the next weirdest but honestly it's kinda tame. There's board games and art supplies in the cabinets. More variety of both than I'd ever really expect to see but nothing more exciting than that."

Permalink

"You'd think a games room would have some video games as well. Those are more popular these days. And easier to find than a large selection of board games."

Permalink

"Yeah, maybe. This room doesn't seem quite where I'd put them though. There's like an entertainment room built around a big TV, I think that might be better suited towards videogames but they aren't found there either."

Permalink

"Kinda weird."

Permalink

"Anyway, what else is on this floor?"

Permalink

"Well, there's an exercise room, the tv room, a library and a greenhouse."

Permalink

"That's quite a variety of things. Somebody put a lot of work into this."

Permalink

"Yeah, I got hungry before I checked further down. I'm not sure what to expect next."

Permalink

"Do you want to explore further down now?"

Permalink

"Eventually, I can show you the rooms on this level first if you prefer."

Permalink

"Sure. Let's see the rest of this level real quick and then we can all explore further?"

Permalink

"Works for me." The next room is the gym, the floor is a bit springy. There are mirrors along the side walls with railings to hold onto. There are yoga and gymnastics mats stacked in one corner and the other three have general purpose weight lifting machines in the other three corners and a rack of free weights and resistance bands along the back wall.

"Not really our thing, but it might be somebody's thing if anyone else actually shows up here."

Permalink

"Yeah, I suppose so." The next room is the theater / tv room. There's a big TV at the end of the room, The left wall is lined with shelves of DVDs. Most of the room is filled with gradually descending steps with some furniture oriented towards watching the TV, possibly while doing other things. "I feel like if I was designing this place I would have had two TVs and split the place but, who knows."

Permalink

"It's more like a small movie theatre. Anyway, moving on?"

Permalink

"Yeah pretty much. Next up is the Greenhouse." Riley leads them into the next room which has bright daylight bulbs mounted above plants growing in planters. At the end of the rows near the entrance are large sets of bins. "All the bins I've checked have fresh produce in them. Nothing overripe or expired."
