Rata Mall - Carpark - Phase 4 - Locked

examine red corvette

[Talitha]

look inside red corvette

[Talitha]

I need to move this corvette so I can see what's under it. But there are no keys in it. I was wondering if Carla could sit in the drivers seat and take the handbrake off, then Casey & I could push it a little way. Will you two help me?

[Talitha]

Thank you!

I've been so excited about finding my red car, but what's with that dead body... it's new since we got here? That's scary. Who is it?

[Talitha]

OKay let's move it

[Talitha]

takes off handbrake of corvette, pushes car with Pooky

[Talitha]

Grey.

lift the manhole cover

[Talitha]

What is your alignment Pooks?

[Talitha]

try to jimmy the manhole cover open with knife

[Talitha]

examine the purple people mover
examine the green ford

Is my knife busted now?

[Talitha]

The green ford is in the carpark! I checked it out. Hmm.

climb down ladder, explore tunnel

[Talitha]

climb back up ladder and take small crowbar from truck
climb back into manhole and resume exploring the tunnel

[Talitha]

Oh you have a torch. Ace!

[Talitha]

Hmm do you think we'll be coming back? I wonder if there is anything else to check out here before we go

[Talitha]

walk around the entire carpark scanning the ground for clues

want to know what happened to the poor sods in the cars

examine the body on the ground

Any clues of what happened to John Thompson please

Then

go thru tunnel with mah wonderful companions

[Talitha]

What the heck they are doing in the bank?!

Yeah let's keep moving, see where this goes.

[Talitha]

Oh good they found the glasses. Carla's down here with us isn't she?

[Talitha]

This is super cool, spying on everyone from below. Shall we keep going?

[Talitha]

Let's keep moving

[Talitha]

Ew. Hopefully they wouldn't keep the poop in a box

[Talitha]

Hmm I don't think I've got anything like that sorry. What's it for, is the torch ok?

I don't think the box is that high up, because the tunnel isn't very tall. Maybe you could just crow bar it open but do it while standing to the side, Pooks, so if anything comes out it shouldn't get on you?

Edit, haha great minds

[Talitha]

Examine the box closely, from all sides that are able to be examined

[Talitha]

Yeah unless we had a nice long fuse, dynamite could take us all out

[Talitha]

Happy that we were able to help you Carla - assuming you a good alignment?
Do you two have any clues about who is good or bad in this game?
I am grey, but I'm able to choose - either to help stop the baddies, or to play for myself. I think it's more fun to try and do the first one. If I can figure out who they are.

[Talitha]

Thank you. Your assessment of the characters in this mall is quite similar to my own.

[Talitha]

stands behind Pook-sey

[Talitha]

Should we go back to the carpark and see if we can find something to ignite the dynamite?

[Talitha]

I'm guessing Green Crayons was trying to get into the box when he caused all the damage and flooding to the bathroom.

On the subject of Green Crayons, I'm a little worried about Cindy alone with him in the bookstore..

[Talitha]

Did we search everywhere in the carpark? Maybe the trunks of the cars might have something useful to help us "safely" blow up this dynamite. I'm super eager to get into the box before Sir Leo does, assuming he was unsuccessful from above...

Edit: Yes I'd expect that with YOUR strength and THAT crow bar you could get in to the box.

[Talitha]

But the voice from above said we need something extreme, so....

[Talitha]

head back down tunnel, towards carpark.
stop underneath bookstore to hear what is going on

[Talitha]

Glass breaking in the book store? What the heck? That man is just a human wrecking machine.

listens some more

[Talitha]

My role confirms the existence of bad guys too. But. it is an amb game.

[Talitha]

My backstory is that life was going pretty good and I was popular at school, until the world ended. Now I am just peeved at everyone.

[Talitha]

btw talitha, if you do evil stuff and go from grey to evil I will have to kill you according to my win con so pls dont do anything bad pls thx <3

Let's hope it doesn't come to that!

[Talitha]

A lab, hmmm... all this radiation stuff is worrying.

Pooky, I'll tell you my goal if that's what you want. But it's quite exposing for me. I don't want anyone to hear it through the walls, if the listening thing works both ways, so I'd have to whisper.

Ariel I will tell you everything too, if you want, but I'll tell Pooky first.

[Talitha]

listen for what is happening in the bookstore

whisper to Pooky

[Talitha]

Just checking before I whisper to you Ariel/Carla:
Is everything you have told us down here in the tunnel the truth?

[Talitha]

whisper to Ariel

[Talitha]

crowbar one of the locked cars open and check for a cigarette lighter to ignite the dynamite? Does the dynamite have a fuse with it??

[Talitha]

Did all the vehicles have dead people in them - think they were also killed by radiation? I wonder if it's safe to crowbar open a car

[Talitha]

I might've got confused. The body on the ground died from radiation right? But we don't know how the bodies in the cars died yet... is that right?

I feel like petrol siphoning will be required. I don't have any tubing or anything to store it in either. Pooky, was there anything helpful in the truck?

We've lingered under the bookstore for a while. Should we keep moving back towards carpark?

[Talitha]

walk back down tunnel. pause underneath bank

[Talitha]

Cool. Let's see if we can find anything.

[Talitha]

Why would they want an ineffective weapon? Maybe I should give them my munted knife.

I try to break into the purple people move with my crowbar

[Talitha]

Definitely cover it before we leave back to the eatery, imo

ut on gas mask

Examine purple car interior closely

[Talitha]

break into the green ford with my crowbar

Examine interior of green ford

Also break into the trunk of the green Ford with crow bar

Examine interior of the trunk

[Talitha]

How rude.

[Talitha]

drop lie detector beside purple people mover

Ariel, I'll drop your thing shortly

[Talitha]

Next time don't be so careless with your stuff, okay?

[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.

[Talitha]

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

[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.

[Talitha]

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

[Talitha]

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

[Talitha]

drop gas mask beside purple people mover

[Talitha]

drop bent knife on the ground by purple people mover

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

[Talitha]

Gotcha.

[Talitha]

I guess if Carla needs glue, and we don't have any glue, then our dreams of blowing the bathroom to smithereens with her will sadly have to wait!

gives Carla the Rapture book

Leave the manhole cover off do you reckon? Hide it somewhere? So that if Carla comes back with the keys to the truck, she can get straight in there

[Talitha]

John Thompson walked into the mall, took coins, left again. I wonder if it was the radioactive coin what killed him.

[Talitha]

oh my gosh. I leave you people alone for a few minutes and all hell breaks loose

help push red corvette over manhole

[Talitha]

open door of red car. reapply handbrake so it doesn't roll anywhere

[Talitha]

True, good plan about the cover story- let's keep the tunnel stuff on the down low obv. Keep in touch about your future plans Carla, if you need help or whatever.

Will we tell everyone about the other stuff, the radiation, John Thompson, the other bodies?

Looking at the mall map, I wonder if the secret lab is in that black area behind the pinball machine, by the fashion store?

If the new deadline is correct we only have a few more hours here. Anything else we need to clean up?

[Talitha]

With all this radiation I dunno how we get into the lab....

Finding some iodine would be helpful

[Talitha]

Looks like someone has asked for the deadline stay as it was so we're stuck here a bit longer

[Talitha]

Hopefully you guys will help me with my goal too. Pooky and I seem to have similar ways to achieve our win, that we have to figure out who is bad then do our thing.

[Talitha]

If I turned bad I won't care who is good or who is bad. For my bad goal it doesn't matter. So don't be worried I could use info hou give me for something bad.

You can lie detector me about that if you want.

[Talitha]

Yep!

And true, Pooky, you doing your thing is a lot more serious and has bigger consequences than me doing my thing!

[Talitha]

Yeah, potentially. I'm in two minds. If we go different ways it's more dangerous, but we can learn more and maybe achieve more.

[Talitha]

I think Pooky gave me the Rapture book because he thought I was McGyver

[Talitha]

Making fire from engine wire and car batteries!

[Talitha]

Was there something useful in the Rapture book? Why did you look for a religious book in the bookstore?

[Talitha]

Heheh, did you read the book? I am all curious about it now.

[Talitha]

WE HAVE VAMPIRES?

[Talitha]

This game is whack! I love it.
