Description

There are two sets of loos here - Male and Female. THere doesnt appear to be a unisex or seperate disability loo. The Mall owner should probably do something about that.
From here, you can explore both rooms to see what you find.

The Mens bathrooms have been flooded, and there is a broken pipe. It is not currently flowing. (The left most is the Mens)
The water is slowly draining away through the drains.
There is a lot of graffiti on the walls.
A mirror or window has been smashed in the mens bathrooms

Room Deadline

(expired on 2020-09-19 08:00:00)

[Ariel]

Examine broken pipe in men's room

[ambic]

Mod note: i am currently experiencing a power cut, so i cant process choices at present time

[ambic]

The pipe looks like it was broken off by force, the ends are wrenched and twisted. It's dripping, and looks like it was flowing earlier.

[Ariel]

Try to peek my head down next to the pipe and look underneath (I'm looking for the metal box)

[ambic]

It's not in this precise location. Keep looking

VLADDDABOOOOOOOOM

There is a bone shuddering and violent explosion across the air. You are thrown to the ground from where you stand, getting you soaked in the process. Your ears are ringing. Something happened elsewhere in the mall.

Your dynamite did not get soaked

And as you pick yourself up, you swear you can hear your walkie talkie

[Ariel]

WALKIE TALKIE

[Ariel]

Dr. Lacey's on the other line. She says the explosion wasn't there either. She got a walkie talkie from the phone store.

[Ariel]

Oh wait, is Yvonne not actually here? I thought I saw that she was

[Ariel]

check drains

[ambic]

Yeah, she isnt here. COpy paste error on my part, sorry. THought I'd gotten away with it

[ambic]

The drains appear to go down into a rather flooded looking tunnel below.

[Ariel]

does it look like I can climb down there? can I see the box?

[ambic]

The drains are arm width only. You cant see the box.

[Ariel]

move/check underneath bin
check sinks/cupboard
check the other drain

[ambic]

Nothing in the bins, drains or sinks. There have been people here previously, so there may not be a lot of loose stuff left.

[Ariel]

OK well I had taken the fact that water was dripping down into the tunnel to mean that the broken pipe would be nearby where the box is. I guess before I break more stuff I need to do more searching in case that assumption is incorrect. So I will

follow the flood water to investigate where water might be dripping down,

and then

search the corresponding area in the women's section (drains; pipes)

and then

anywhere else where I believe there may be pipes

[ambic]

The water is dripping down to the tunnel, but its not the clue you are looking for. Perhaps your grandfather left a clue somewhere.

[Ariel]

Examine CCTV/speaker area

[ambic]

It seems functional - but not currently recording. It's focused on the graffiti'd areas as if to put people off tagging the bathrooms. It clearly hasn't done anything to dissuade people, there's graffiti on the walls anyway.

[Ariel]

investigate graffiti for clues

Leo mentioned behind the mirror was a way to get to the bank so

investigate that

[ambic]

The mirror wasnt a mirror - it was a window. Not see through. Leo smashed it.

The grafitti behind the womens loos says
"The Phantom"
"H2O"
"Use what you started with - Harold"

The message from Harold is oddly placed, but you assume he had a reason. It's on what appears to be a piece of wall that isnt connected up properly. You pull it off and can clearly see your metal box inside the wall. THe bottom half of it must overhang the tunnel. It looks tough. It looks like it was built into the mall as a way of keeping valuable stuff very secure.

[Ariel]
