Present

Porochaz (Paul)

You are greeted by a giant globe, a virtual reality kit, and more. There are booths here, and amongst other things they sell train tickets for that all important trip home later.

The giant TV screen seems to be showing the Eatery that you just left.

"It's a lot more high-tech than I was expecting.."

Observe the giant TV screen for anything of interest happening in the Eatery

[ambic]

Spiro is standing all alone, probably wondering where everyone just went. Merrick, Sally & Sarah seem to have gone on a break.

[Morning Tweet]

Wonder if I'm allowed to use these..

Check the desks with PCs on them

[ambic]

The PCs are turned off, and probably require passwords, but you are welcome to try anyway

[Morning Tweet]

Flip on the power to the lower PC

[ambic]

It powers up, and asks for a login and password. The last person to login was tripup/larmouth

[Porochaz]

talk to ticket advisor about going to see security

[ambic]

The advisor (booth 1) says that the security staff can usually be found down one floor. But if you are referring to the stoarge yard, buying a train ticket will let you through the turnstile and the storage yard will be accessible then. Tickets cost five bucks

[Porochaz]

Of course...

Investigate sunbed

[ambic]

You can experience the Cuban sun by lying in it. Its an advertising gimmick

[Morning Tweet]

Walk to nearest available booth

"Hey! I'm the girl that was called in to fix the broken roof ventilator. Who do I need to speak to in order to get roof access? Also, where is the ladder or stairs located?"

"Oh, I'm also going to need one of these."

Slide a $5 to purchase a train ticket

[ambic]

You buy a train ticket.

The roof can be accessed via the elevator, but I've heard it's currently not working. You can find the security people down a floor if you need help with that.

Of course your follow up question is going to be "How do I get down a floor", and you just know the answer will be "Use the elevator"

[Morning Tweet]

Too bad I'm a ventilator repair-bat, not an elevator one.

Browse through the brochures to see if there's anything of note

[ambic]

The pamphlets give you ideas of nice places to consider: Cuba, New Zealand, Hawaii, Kowhai Mall, Transylvania, Lisbon, Kazakhstan, Tasmania, etc. Some are suited to skiing, relaxation, surfing and so on. One of the tellers calls out: If you are interested in any world city, you can walk round it now in our virtual reality helmets.

Mod Note

: I mistakenly left the car rental off the map. I have converted the final desk to the Car Rental.

investigate the giant globe

[ambic]

The giant globe is a solid piece of art, made of a smooth blue sphere. The countries are well delineated, half set into the the blue surface. Each country is labelled, and the major cities are also printed on.

[Porochaz]

Press down on the UK

[ambic]

The UK makes a satisfying click, sort of like popping bubble wrap

[Porochaz]

hrm...

Put on VR Headset

Enacted - check private thread.

[Porochaz]

Urgh... it's taken me to Blackpool, guess that's what I get for choosing the UK... Michigan, can you press Greece on the globe for me? I wanna see Athens!

[Morning Tweet]

What's that? Press Greece? ...So that's what the globe for.

Push on Greece

[Morning Tweet]

Wander back to brochures

Observe what section "Transylvania" is in and check the pamphlet
