The Wub

You stumble through the entrance of a large container 
with soft outside walls. There are many
wall rugs here, mostly with Indian motives, 
and it is well lit.
There is the pleasant smell of 
freshly ground coffee beans in the air, and a 
percolator is buzzing away in one corner. The air 
is thin, but you feel weighty and your eyelids become 
heavy as you peruse the room. You feel as 
though in a cave, where prehistoric peoples spend their winters. 
It is warm here. A great deal of cushions is scattered on the floor, 
and while they seem comfortable, some people don't like 
sitting there because their legs fall asleep. 
Various computers and terminals are stacked 
against the walls, with the hum of their fans driving you mad. 
An antiquated-looking air conditioning system blows 
soothing cold air into the room from the far left. 
A bird flies past outside, which you can't see, 
as there are no windows here. 
Some thumpa-thumpa disco shit is 
being played loudly over the huge speakers on one wall.
Obvious exits: down to The Celestial Cavern and 
workshop to Workshop, Inc.

You see a large workbench against the left wall, 
under a window. On it, when you look closely, 
are several boxes, each neatly labeled. 
There is a blue one that says: 'if - else - endif' on 
the label, and a yellow one that reads: 'return;' on it. 
On the other side of the workbench is a 
green, slightly larger box whose label reads: '$utils'. 
There is a still  larger red bucket 
right in the middle with a label that says:
'other people's code'. There is a really big and 
fluffy orange couch right in the middle 
`The Guide' pretty loudly.
You see Toy Box and CD Changer here.
