The Curse of Kowhai Mall - CHARLIE MAIN THREAD - COMPLETED

[Primate]

/Confirm

[Primate]

Q1. If I put the body somewhere that no-one in the mall will ever find it, but someone unrelated might (like say if I use a catapult on the roof to launch it a mile out of bounds) is that a fail?
Q2. Do I know if the train tickets are keyed to people's names or if someone else buys one can I steal it?
Q3. Do the tesla keys have a fob so I can lock/unlock the car from a distance? (for this question you don't need to confirm whether this will work, just whether the bit is there)
Q4. If I kill someone else, do I also have to hide

that

body?

[Primate]

Ha. Yeah, I asked because it seemed like a funny loophole.

[Primate]

This is kind of a weird question, but If I'm a gym goer, have I been to Waist Away, the 24-hr gym before and do I know if it has showers?

I'm wondering generally if I could clean the bloody weight somehow and return it to the gym and then it wouldn't be counted as evidence.

[Primate]

Does the store appear to be closed? is there a sign saying so, that kind of thing. I'll try the door to see if it's locked if there isn't a sign.

[Primate]

Can you set me up with a private thread with Xalxe/Spiro please?

[Primate]

No worries.

[Primate]

Can you set me up with a private chat with Talitha when you get a sec please?

[Primate]

Thank you!

[Primate]

OK.

Change My Second Choice to the Bathrooms Please

[Primate]

Just an aside, I am actively looking for a 5th reindeer so I can make a reindeer pentagram.

[Primate]

To what end? Don't know. Might try and summon santa.

[Primate]

1. Is there any planning permission for anything near the mall?
2. What's the accreditation for becoming a witch doctor or vampire?

[Primate]

1a. How about anything for the church next door?

[Primate]

What ingredients does the Potione of Adoration need?

You can be vague if I need to buy it or something. I mostly just want to know if it's something that can plausibly be brewed during the course of this game or whether it requires a million obtuse ingredients.

[Primate]

Thanks on the potion.

On the Teslabody, yep, I figured it'd be something like that. The CCTV was why I was trying to get into security a bunch.

[Primate]

I can still see antique store if that's unintended.

[Primate]

I'm assuming a staple remover could not be used as a weapon.

[Primate]

On that note, do I have anything currently that could be used as a weapon?

I was assuming that the bloody weight could be, and I thought the tripod might be able to be used as a wacking stick.

[Primate]

Quick Question before I leave the alley.

Do I see a way that people would actually reasonably enter the alley without using the ladder?

[Primate]

I missed the word 'reasonable' - the french doors would be the normal way to enter.

Oh yeah, course, that makes sense. Sorry for the dumb question.

[Primate]

Put bloody weight in toilet bowl before closing it and standing on it (assuming I'm alone in that cubicle and Lendunistus doesn't jump in with me)

[Primate]

I'll pick it up in a sec again if the guards don't come rushing in so you can factor that in.

[Primate]

I presume the remote control I started with is a TV remote control?

[Primate]

Clean weight of blood with toilet paper, flush paper down toilet, take weight

Press remote control button

[Primate]

Clean weight of blood with toilet paper, flush paper down toilet, take weight

Did this happen?

[Primate]

I still would like that photo of the carnage if it's possible.

[Primate]

Where am i atm, I just waiting for the mall to open up again?

[Primate]

What are these? I presumed they were us, but one has changed colour.

[Primate]

Is the camera in the eaterie's light on?

[Primate]

Can I have a private topics with Quentin and Harry please?

[Primate]

Is the camera in the eaterie's light on?

Sorry for bugging, can I get an answer to this please, if you missed it?

[Primate]

Boo. I thought when we'd pulled that fuse we'd somehow managaged to snipe the whole security system (which is why the button in the staff room didn't work)

[Primate]

Can you set me up with a chat with Judith when you get a second, please?

[Primate]

Presumably I can use it on NPCs?
(Like I'm not asking if it would work, but is Marcus or Miyagi for example a valid target.)

If I block them and they leave, then come back, are they still blocked? Do I just block a specific person while we're in the same place for the whole phase? And can I use it in response to someone using something?

[Primate]

Can I take this camera off the tripod?

[Primate]

ah, ok, sure, thanks. Thought I was hefting this around like a massively overworked wedding photographer.

[Primate]

If kane needed a distraction I was going to stick the burger on it and send it on the trolley as a distraction.

I could sit in the eatery next phase and just deliver tripod burgers to a bunch of rooms.

Writing on the back of a piece of paper
"TRIPOD BURGER DELIVERY"
"(PLEASE LEAVE TRIPOD)"

[Primate]

this is surely going to backfire as I'm the second to try this, but while he's distracted I'm going to take that church history book on LaFoutire, the priest I forgot to write down the name of properly

[Primate]

I don't, no, do I need a pen? I meant write down in real life.

[Primate]

the bold is that I'm going to try and take that church history book while merrick is distracted

I just couldn't remember the specific name of the guy it was about. It was a priest called LaFoutire or something is my recollection.

[Primate]

lol, it was jack solitaire. I'm just massively misremembering his name. Feel free to punish me for that. Should have taken better notes.

[Primate]

Don't know where I got LaFoutire from.

[Primate]

That good enough or do you want more specifics?

[Primate]

Obv dropping the burger for the new book.

[Primate]

Log into online banking

username tup/larmouth
password DoubleCross

[Primate]

Can I view past transactions, or change the password?

[Primate]

take note of the account numbers of any open accounts

change password to P3terFalk!

Is larmouth the full name?

I can't use the card machine to print off a gift card with some of this money on it, can I?

[Primate]

ok, after making note of the account numbers and changing the password of the larmouth online banking account, I'll leave the pc

[Primate]

Log out too

[Primate]

Of the banking, not the pc account

[Primate]

Can I watch and see what spiro is doing with the tesla?

[Primate]

Choice 1: Service Room

Choice 2: Chapel

[Primate]

Take a photo of the trunk

[Primate]

This is kind of a dumb question, but the lost and found forms. There are forms for finding things, are there also forms to apply for something to be lost?

[Primate]

So I need to.

1. Find the Body
2. Find place to dispose of things forever.
3. Get 1 to 2.
4. Get into security room.
5. Delete footage.
6. Destroy lost and found room.
7. Get Train Ticket.
8. Clear people out of train station.

And do all of this without killing anybody, unless they find the body, in which case I need to kill them. Lovely.

I'm going to the service room because I think the security room is downstairs, and that will let me possibly do 4&5. I think the body is probably in a freezer somewhere but I'm not sure where that would be. The Cafe and Apocathary possibly have freezers. But Pat would probably know where they put the body if they put it in one of his stores. I really go want to go to one of the outside locations, but I can't see them storing the body outside of the mall.

Change Choice 2 to Cafe

[Primate]

Sure, I meant just tie them together, not pick them up, but I will actually pick them up and drop the biography of Jack Solitaire on the table if that's ok.

[Primate]

See if I can see if control panel has a padlock

See if I can see if this vent can be pushed open without screwdriver

Head back down

[Primate]

was that the right thread?

[Primate]

oh, do I pass by the laundromat on the way to this place?

[Primate]

Go back to laundromat

Say to spiro

"Hey, you alright down there?"

[Primate]

I am not engaging with the fucking vampire room at all, no way in hell.

[Primate]

wouldn't mind knowing what this is though

[Primate]

Can I go back to where I came in and use the grappling hook to go down without taking damage, is there an attachment point?

[Primate]

Go back down vent 2

[Primate]

Hold hand to vent to see if I feel heat

[Primate]

Would it fit in the vent and are there other exits to the room?

[Primate]

So this is probably below the meteor viewing platform? interesting.

[Primate]

Head back to the service room, using the grappling hook

[Primate]

Knock off the server room door handle with the weight. Break into that fucker

Keep an eye on the elevator whilst doing this

[Primate]

(if you'd prefer me to do this in the room, say)

Look at shelf of videos for ones dated in the past couple of days

[Primate]

I'm going to sleep irl, this is crazy.

[Primate]

head to lost and found

[Primate]

What the hell is this game

[Primate]

I just want to check on key 1936 and see if it's still there if you don't have the thread ready.

[Primate]

Oh , you need to drop something first if you want it

Yep. I'll put key 116 back where it should be/was.

and head back to server room.

[Primate]

Go up Vent 3

[Primate]

Does the guard look like a mall security guard?

[Primate]

Do I remember what fring on the roof was wearing?

[Primate]

Drop out vent, trying to avoid not welcome mat

*Put arms up*

"I'm here to speak to kingpin."

[Primate]

FYI my interest in the UFO is that I may be able to put the body in and autopilot it to fly into outer space. I suspect you probably had something else in mind, but I had most of the tools to go down this alley and I wanted to see where it led. I might have got more use by going to legerdomain, but now I've got a train ticket and some cash, which is helpful. Also I think generally I benefit the more distractions they are to deal with, so the more chaos the better.

[Primate]

I presume the train ticket I took is usable? It's not been punched or whatever.

[Primate]

To clarify, I wondered if it was like this. The Storage area is on the other side of the turnstile from the station, so I wondered if there was something between that turnstile and the other turnstile stopping people getting into the storage area. That make sense?

[Primate]

Like a booth or something.

[Primate]

Yeah, sure. It's just bugging me a little. That camera in the lost and found not being hooked up to the other cameras is leaving me with a nagging feeling. I feel like there's a secondary viewing place. I'm not intending to try and deal with the guard or anything. Having him around right now is useful if anything. I do think it's funny that you looked at your experience with Rata and added him though, knowing that otherwise we would have demolished this place in like 2 phases.

[Primate]

Yeah, I get that, don't worry, and thanks. I meant more it's annoying me that I don't know everything that's going on. I'm being super paranoid. I suspect there's one more piece of evidence that I'm missing, and it's either the tesla (ugh that fingerprint kit) or something in the Gym. I do think the body is in the lost and found, Miyagi said it was somewhere cold and it makes sense. I really hope I threw enough bullshit at her that tally didn't decide to crack that freezer open. My hope is I can go to legerdemain next phase and pick up a torch and some lockpicks to get the freezer open and get the body out via the sewer, but lets see what happens in the eatery in the intervening period and what phase 3 brings.

[Primate]

Could I send the trolley to the spa, then request it to come to here? If george puts them on.

Be funny to get victoria her clothes back.

[Primate]

Press button to summon trolley

Send to Spa

[Primate]

A meteor storm occurred See this post first: viewtopic.php?p=13069142#p13069142) for details

The explosions in the night sky are amazing. As you stand there, you see Sarah staring at you. She walks up to you and whispers 'Stop that'. You have no idea what she is talking about. She claims to you that she has the 'ability to read minds'. Immediately you think she is lying, and you try to think of a reason for her to lie, but she interprets your thoughts (Woman's intuition perhaps or maybe your body language) She holds up a single finger and says "You are blocking my ability to read minds by your very prescence".

You now have a MANA statistic added to your game. The meteor storm has somehow given you 6 Mana points, and Mana seems to have given you the ability to block supernatural abilities. At a cost of 2 mana per usage, you may block a persons abilities from working during the rest of the current phase. It will only block them while they are in close proximity to you (defined as being in the same thread). You do not know of any way to restore Mana once spent.

use this on the demon

[Primate]

Whoops, I meant for it to open it after I left it locked in the last phase

[Primate]

Does 8t have an auto lock

[Primate]

Yep, that's my intention. Demon still on the loose then

[Primate]

Demons in space is when you know your horror franchise has jumped the shark anyway. Yep, that's fine. I'm kind of assuming we will never actually return Michigan to the game but its a fun goal.

[Primate]

Does the remote control have any more controls than the one button?

[Primate]

Is heading down to the alley and going non-eatery a viable option at this point.

I mean, regardless of whether marcus will kill us if we try, will we get a "you can't do that" message. Is that a fair question?

[Primate]

head over to Kane's body, look at his stuff

[Primate]

Take Book with UFO, Heiroglyphics, Solar Light.

(I think I'm down the grappling hook and grenade)

(What is a solar light?)

Take Walkie Talkie, wave it in the air a bunch, drop it on an eatery table

[Primate]

I don't think so but any money?

[Primate]

Also, has he still got the blue and red crystal, or did he throw it at the demon?

[Primate]

Primary Choice, Legerdemain

Secondary Choice, Car Park

[Primate]

Wait no, that's dumb.

Primary Choice, Service Room

Secondary Choice, Car Park

[Primate]

Take Book with UFO, Heiroglyphics, Solar Light.

(I think I'm down the grappling hook and grenade)

(What is a solar light?)

Take Walkie Talkie, wave it in the air a bunch, drop it on an eatery table

Just making sure this happened, as I'm planning to head into the manhole, using the Solar Light. (What is a solar lamp, is it some kind of tanning sunlamp?)

[Primate]

NOTE: If anyone else finds the body during your time here, you MUST kill that person.

To clarify on this, do they need to die before we leave the mall, or do I myself need to kill them?

[Primate]

And is

Lair (aka VCS)

a valid option on the remote control?

[Primate]

The assumption with my choice is that taking the VCR will stop the recordings being made, if I've misunderstood the setup somehow then please say, if that's alright.

Also

take this video

You watch the videos. Theres a new entry called, imaginatively, “New”. It is a recording of Harry breaking the padlock on the freezer and having a look at a body in it, before closing the lid and climbing through a hole in the wa

[Primate]

ITS TWINS AMBIC

Yes, yes, I know. Ugh.

I was planning on hiding it in the sewer for a bit until taly showed up.

Can the trolley go to locked storage closets?

[Primate]

Press Remote Control

[Primate]

The UFO is out of range. By UFO Room, I meant the storage unit that it was stored in earlier.

Yeah, I dropped the UFO control by where the VCR was, I dont have that anymore.

[Primate]

We're not allowed to enter the eatery at all, correct?

Couldn't do vent -> legerdemain -> eatery -> storage closet.

[Primate]

Shred Dossier, drop the bits at the bottom of the Goggle box.

[Primate]

Also I feel like an idiot not getting that it was Victoria Frankenstein earlier.

[Primate]

THANK YOU AMB

[Primate]

Just an aside, I am actively looking for a 5th reindeer so I can make a reindeer pentagram.

When the Frankenstein starts fighting the vampires, use nullification power on Frankenstein and Victoria and shoot Victoria in the back with the tranquiliser gun

[Primate]

Do it now

[Primate]

Do I need to post this in the main thread (except the nullification bit)?

[Primate]

cool, thanks

[Primate]

(Is harry in the eatery?)

[Primate]

Would you allow?

If at any point harry leaves, follow him into that room

[Primate]

I should have just taken the night vision goggles, turned the lights off and jumped pooky.

[Primate]

Yeah, lets do that.

[Primate]

Yep.

Swap Lipstick for Night vision goggles

[Primate]

Then

Return back to eatery

!and the mop!

It's part of the act!

[Primate]

To clarify, sorry, does the members exit not lead to the main mall room?

[Primate]

If it does

Use blacklight, cleaner, bleach, mop to clean blood route in the eatery

[Primate]

Yeah, that's fine. Shame. He was so active in Rata. I assumed he was doing stuff behind the scenes in this.
