  Behind the stage, an immaculate room surrounded by blue velvet curtains,
rages with activity.  Dozens of creatures in black tunics with the image of
a long walking stick embroidered on them hustle to and fro.  Each takes
their turn waiting for instructions then run hurriedly off to complete the
task.  Many of the staff can be seen arguing with maintenance crews who have
somehow made their mission impossible.  The chill air in this room acts as a
narcotic to the other staff members who have chosen to simply wait for their
next assignment.  The smell of donuts and stale coffee reaffirm the air of
insomnia in here.
