The Curse of Kowhai Mall - PHASE 2: Travel Agency- COMPLETED

[ambic]

Michigan takes a step back, as she hears the globe rattle. A crystal drops out to the floor, swirling with purple colours and it shatters, releasing some kind of energy. She looks back at Paul, who removes his VR helmet with an evil grin on his face.

[ambic]

She looks at her hand, and realises just a fraction too late that something isn't right. She can see straight through it like it isn't there.

[ambic]

And as she realises she should do something, Paul walks up and says something in a very foreign sounding language. Michigan vanishes in a tiny ball of flame.

[ambic]

And all there is left, is a scorch mark. And one very happy looking Paul.

I'm sorry morning... I'm guessing her inventory was not left behind?

[CaptainMeme]

Nothing is left behind except the shattered crystal on the floor under the globe, and some of the fluid, although it seems that it has released whatever energy it stored and is now useless.

[CaptainMeme]

(and the scorch mark)

[Porochaz]

OK...

let's take a look at that control panel

I can't find our notes on the Control Panel! So leaving this to Ambic - Meme

You took my crystal, morning tweet. That was your mistake.

[ambic]

As you walk up to the control panel, you notice the goings on in the Eatery on the giant TV. Victoria and Matthew are fighting with a Zombie. Matthew seems to be handling himself badly, but just as it looks dire, Victoria jumps in and bashes the zombie on the head. Merrick & Sally are no where to be seen, but Sarah is sitting watching grinning. As the zombie loses, you see what looks like a 100 dollar note float over to Sarah, which she pockets. Did... she gamble on the outcome.

The control panel lets you choose:
1. Treasure Hunting
2. Eatery
3. Antiques
4. B&E Mens
5. Cafe
6. Chapel
7. Fashion Store
8. Gym
9. Laundromat
10. Legerdemain

Let's go 1. Treasure hunting.

Also can I get a look at the main map of the hall.

[ambic]

(Just before I get in trouble with meme for posting on his shift )

Treasure Hunting is Empty at the moment, apart from the staff.

[ambic]

Look at the first couple of posts of viewtopic.php?f=10&t=87865 for the map.

[Porochaz]

Can I flick through the channels to see which rooms have people in them? Im most interested in the laundry room at this moment.

[CaptainMeme]

Flicking through the channels:

1. Treasure Hunting - Empty
2. Eatery - There seems to be quite the crowd here. Sally, Sarah and Merrick are all still present, as are Victoria and Matthew. They seem to have been joined by Charlie, Harry, and Blake. Charlie seems to be sitting in some kind of pentagram.
3. Antiques - You tune in just in time to see a staff member closing a sarcophagus with someone inside. A guard climbs through the window and begins talking to Benson and Judith, who are also present.
4. B&E Mens - Just seems to be staff in here, although the cameras do not show the changing rooms.
5. Cafe - Nobody here but the chef.
6. Chapel - A priest is standing up at the pulpit, seemingly staring at the door. Nobody else is here.
7. Fashion Store - The store clerk is dressing up the mannequins here, but (unless someone is in the changing rooms) there is nobody else in sight.
8. Gym - There seems to be one person using the dumbbells, and another sitting on a bunch nursing a head injury.
9. Laundromat - Nobody here.
10. Legerdemain - A magician of some sort is practicing his tricks.

No sign of Quentin, Spiro or Kane?

[Porochaz]

Clean up crystal remains (and scorch mark if possible, but I imagine thats not going to happen)

[ambic]

The crystal remains are either in your possession, or you need to put them somewhere. Your choice. The scorch mark isnt going anywhere

[ambic]

No sign of Quentin, Spiro or Kane?

No, you did not see these three.

Global announcement: We are going to bring the Phase to an end today instead of tomorrow, as things are starting to move a bit slower now.

Ok Ill hold onto them for now.

[Porochaz]

Can I look round the empty booth?

[ambic]

Its behind glass, but the empty booth is where a teller would have stood had it been opened for customer service.

[Porochaz]

Let's see what's on the PC then

[ambic]

The PC fires up. It has a login screen showing that last person to login was LARMOUTH. You don't know their password.

[Porochaz]

Look in sunbed
