Notes:

When modules need to store data they should do it in the room object in _data or directly. The data needs to be a simple as strings or table of strings, they should not add objects like room, sessions or occupants that cannot be serialized. Attaching data to the room object makes reloading modules safe and guarantees data will be wiped once the room is destroyed.
