Ok so it seems there's no actual way to send things between rooms.
All you can do is make them persistent and set their coordinates correctly.

So when an NPC goes to the Underground they actually just go to the coordinates of the surface but act like they're there.
So this begs the question, should I have an actual second room, or just fake it by drawing it over the corner of the island, disabling everything else while I'm doing it?

So I spent a while remaking the title screen load code only to realise the reason it was taking so much longer than a normal island was because the file for it had all the objects in one big list instead of being broken up in to chunks
