Around the corner comes Junia, with bits of her scraping the wall as she makes the turn.  She gives the receptionist a smile that is probably intended to be reassuring and takes Anna by the arm.  Anna finds herself pulled along in Junia's wake until a sudden turn brings them to a small breakroom.

She drops a magazine on the frisbee-sized breakroom table.  [i]Alkahest Monthly[/i].  The sober cover is ruined by a blurb that reads, "Which of the four types of philosopher stone are you?  Take our quiz and find out!"

Junia sniffs.  [color=007236]"It says I'm the vegetative stone.  Really, I get out more than that.  But sit, sit, take a breather.  You ... uh ... you might want to leave that burrito in the fridge, though.  Ellie and Emma have been working in the morgue all morning.  That's not a place for food.  Or a full stomach, really."[/color]
