The Curse of Rata Mall - Cinemas

A once thriving place once depicting a good mix of family friendly, and not so family friendly content

The current layout of the Cinemas

Present

Johannes walks back and forth along the aisles of the south theatre.
The ticket machine is turned off. It looks like it used to accept credit cards for tickets
Captain Meme has some unpopped popcorn - probably not safe to take the popped stuff - that looks pretty old.

And Primate disappears out of sight to duck into the bathrooms.

VLADDDABOOOOOOOOM

There is a bone shuddering and violent explosion from far below. Every one of you is thrown to the ground from where you stand. Your ears are ringing. Popcorn and candy spilled everywhere. Something happened elsewhere in the mall.

Harry walks back out of the bathroom pushing a wheelchair.

ambic · Post Post #16 (isolation #6) » Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:59 am

The Men's loos are empty, and lack any graffiti.
The elevators are functional.

ambic · Post Post #18 (isolation #7) » Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:38 am

It's nowhere near as interesting as you hoped

Its empty - There is toilet paper if you really want it.

ambic · Post Post #22 (isolation #8) » Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:40 am

The exit door at the south seems to lead out to the street below - via a rusty looking emergency exit. It might be okay to descend, but you might not want to risk returning back up it - its past it's best.

Wasnt Johannes in here just before? He seems to be missing?

ambic · Post Post #27 (isolation #10) » Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:29 am

You are talking to no one. Harry vanished.

ambic · Post Post #30 (isolation #11) » Tue Sep 15, 2020 12:13 pm

It is a closed seat, looks like the cushion can fold upwards, just like all the others

ambic · Post Post #31 (isolation #12) » Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:39 pm

The chair opens, and Johannes climbs out to see Jia standing looking bewildered.

ambic · Post Post #33 (isolation #13) » Tue Sep 15, 2020 10:15 pm

Primate also rejoins the room

ambic · Post Post #36 (isolation #14) » Wed Sep 16, 2020 8:23 am

Its an emergency exit, complete with alarm.

ambic · Post Post #39 (isolation #15) » Wed Sep 16, 2020 11:34 am

The stairs are blocked. Your access in and out of here are the elevators, or emergency exits.

ambic · Post Post #42 (isolation #16) » Wed Sep 16, 2020 2:59 pm

It might dispense a drink if you ask it nicely. Or failing that, pay it.

ambic · Post Post #43 (isolation #17) » Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:55 pm

Smoke starts to come out from the elevators.

ambic · Post Post #45 (isolation #18) » Wed Sep 16, 2020 11:23 pm

Yes, it would be possible to exit either emergency exit. The exterior one looks flimsy, and the other one is marked as alarmed.

ambic · Post Post #46 (isolation #19) » Wed Sep 16, 2020 11:30 pm

Well it may not matter, the fires out now. But the elevator was used to smother it. Im still piecing together the impacts

ambic · Post Post #48 (isolation #20) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:17 am

You only know its alarmed because a sign says so. You can’t actually see an alarm

ambic · Post Post #50 (isolation #21) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:21 am

It reveals a staircase going down. No alarm sounds

ambic · Post Post #53 (isolation #22) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:41 am

Its nearly midnight here. Will update in the morning

ambic · Post Post #55 (isolation #23) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 8:53 am

You all descend down to a single escape door at the bottom. It doesnt seem to open from this side.

ambic · Post Post #56 (isolation #24) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 9:05 am

Room deadline in 24 hours

ambic · Post Post #61 (isolation #25) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:07 pm

You can hear someone on the other side of the door

ambic · Post Post #64 (isolation #26) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:20 pm

No voices yet. Up to them what they do. Im going to have to coordinate their actions with yours, so there may be a delay on the outworking of your hi(nge)jinks.

ambic · Post Post #67 (isolation #27) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:55 pm

You knock three times

ambic · Post Post #69 (isolation #28) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:27 pm

(I will be offline Shortly for up to 3 hours, due to a planned power outage by the electric company)

The gun hits the door. If I vanish, you know why

ambic · Post Post #70 (isolation #29) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:27 pm

THe door vaporises, along with the walls around it.

For a very very brief second you see Xavier standing there open mouthed at whats happening.

ambic · Post Post #71 (isolation #30) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:28 pm

Then you consider vaporising walls a very dangerous thing to do.

ambic · Post Post #72 (isolation #31) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:28 pm

The roof around the wall starts to cave in.
You took out the door.
You also took out the support walls

ambic · Post Post #73 (isolation #32) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:29 pm

The three of you sprint as the exit starts to collapse

ambic · Post Post #74 (isolation #33) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:29 pm

And you end up back in the cinema, with the entire northern escape route destroyed

ambic · Post Post #75 (isolation #34) » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:30 pm

Next time, just yell through the door
