The Rotunda

A cylindrical space with a high domed roof. Sound spirals upward along the walls, returning transformed after completing its journey.

The Whisper's Journey

You whisper:
    "hello there"

As it leaves your lips...
    "hello there"

Traveling along the curve...
    "olleh ereht"

Reaching the far side...
    "~hello~ ~there~"

What arrives:
    "~~olleh~~ ~~ereht~~"
The rotunda creates a unique spiral effect. Sound rises along the curved walls, reflecting multiple times before descending. The journey rearranges frequencies, sometimes making voices seem to come from unexpected directions.
