Rata Mall - Carpark - Phase 4 - Locked

[Talitha]

I just realised we have car batteries. And spark plugs. Surely we can light the dynamite fuse? And blow up the cast iron box?

I searched, uh.. my memory... and found this:

Battery Method -- if you're stranded with your car or find wreckage from a boat or plane, you can use the battery to create your spark:
Find some wire from the car or wreckage -- any engine wire will work.
Attach two pieces of wire to each battery terminal.
Get your tinder and touch the wires together above it.
This should create a spark and the tinder will smolder.
Pick the tinder up and blow on it.
Once it lights, quickly transfer it

We'd just need something to use as tinder... like a stick or some paper....do we have anything?

[Talitha]

Could we take several tickets from the ticket machine to use as tinder

[Talitha]

You don't need to pay to get a ticket, right? Just need to pay to use it to get out.

You don't need to pay to get a ticket, right? Just need to pay to use it to get out.

This is the kind of creative problem solving we need and if we blow up the mall by accident and kill everyone else we win by default right

[Talitha]

I knew all those hours of watching McGyver in my childhood would come in handy one day. Yes hopefully amb wouldn't give us enough explosive to end his whole game in one ill-advised action.

The ticket machine is for inserting your ticket, paying, and then being able to scan and exit. The machine that issues is on the otherside of the barrier. But neither have power anyway

[Talitha]

Pity we didn't bring just one book from the bookstore

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I did get a book from the store


Pulls out the rapture and gives it to MacGyver

[Talitha]

Mean! I guess we better wait for Carla, and see if she is serious about wanting to explode her dynamite...

Holly bollocks dudes, I am so lucky to have your help. I would feel guilty putting you two at risk though, so I would ideally like to plan it so that it's just me in the tunnel, even though I'm, um, ...not the tallest so I'll have to be creative about actually sticking the dynamite to the box. Could tires be a stepping stool? I wonder if I can just use extra engine wire to get it to stay? I have no glue. We didn't hear anyone in the bathroom and I feel like that's the most likely part if anywhere of the mall to get further damaged.

The alternative is getting to it from the bathroom. The problem is I don't know what that looks like and it has a decent risk of Leo solving how to get it from there faster. But it could be safer.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

im probably taller than you so I wouldn't mind planting the dynamite for you. whats a good way to attack it to the box though?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

if leo gets your things first we could always kill him once we use the lie detector to confirm he is bad.

The truck is idling away after Casey turns it on.

The green ford is uninteresting. Again a dried old body in it. Nothing else

That's fair. As excited as I am to see if this crazy plan would work and as much as it would help to have my goal possibly half done already, I think we don't have a good enough way to attach the dynamite. I do wanna get engine wire and cover the tunnel though.

attempt to use buttons to pop hood of purple vehicle

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I could drive the truck over the manhole cover after we replace it. you can keep the truck keys.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

tho i would be super psyched to help u blow open that box if only there was a way to attach it

[ambic]

The purple cars hood is open

[Ariel]

uhhh Yvonne I don't have anything sharp

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

use my crowbar to open the ticket machine and get money

[Talitha]

drop bent knife on the ground by purple people mover

hopefully it's still good enough just to get some wire

[Ariel]

pick up bent knife, attempt to cut out 6 lengths of engine wire

[ambic]

You have 6 lengths of engine wire
