[xi-] Xena is [2] inside the lobby of the [-a] auditorium where she is making a decorative 峽 gorge of 夾 sandwiches in the middle of one of the hallways. On either side are two 山 mountains of 夾 sandwiches and the guests can go through the middle of the 峽 gorge when bored on intermission. A tiny trickle of water runs between the two 山 mountains of 夾 sandwiches that make up the 峽 gorge that Xena has carved with her sword.
