1 try to open the door which is opposite of the way we came in.
The door is also locked. However, next to the door is a machine identical to the RED in every way except for color (its blue).
"Over here!" Maya shouts as she scans her bracelet on the blue RED. Praying that it will work.
The other three run to you and scan their respective bracelets. Santa pulls the lever. Immediately the beeping stops, and you hear a loud clicking sound on either side of you.
Star: "Thank God..." Santa and June are panting.
Santa pulls on the door in front of you. "F%+!. Its still locked. But there's a keyhole with some weird symbol next to it. Like a circle with an arrow."
Star: "The 'male' symbol?"
June (inspecting): "I think it might be the symbol for Mars. Its technically the same symbol I guess. I saw some similar symbols on the stairway. The symbols of the solar system...
Santa: "So we've got to find this key. I heard a clicking noise. Maybe one of these doors opened." He begins moving toward the door on the left.
wiping the sweat from her brow, Maya goes towards the doors closest to the entrance with the intent to open one of them.
"Thank God that's over."
B===========D
All of the doors closest to the entrance to the hallway are still locked. The only doors the party is able to open are the two farthest from the entrance (rooms B92 - left- and B93 -right-).
Santa (from inside the right doorway): "Wow... This is pretty nice."
Star: "This must be all part of Zero's plan. I don't enjoy being used as a puppet."
Assuming you follow Santa:
In front of you lies an open door to a bathroom. You see a sink and a toilet on the wall opposite you. The rest of the room is hidden. To your left is an empty picture frame on the wall. To your right, you see some plush couches, and the edge of a table.
"Cozy." Maya sarcastically says.
"I bet he'll only allow for one flush."
She then proceeds over to the picture frame on the wall and messes around with it. Remembering how there was valuable information behind the picture frame in the room she awoke in.
Santa and Star both laugh at your comment. June looks vaguely uncomfortable. The frame is attached firmly to the wall, and you are unable to remove it. It is made of fine wood, but the frame itself isn't too fancy.
Star: "We can cover more ground if we check both rooms simultaneously. Santa, why don't we go to the other one." He leaves without waiting for a response.
Santa gives you a funny look. "Sure..." He follows Star, leaving you alone in the room with June.
"I guess it's just you and me now, June." Noticing that June is uneasy Maya asks, [b]"Everything alright?"/[b]
June: "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just find a way out of here. I want this entire experience to be over."
I think I told James, but I might have forgotten you, feel free to search multiple things or make multiple actions in one post to speed things along.
Maya begins looking around the room, in the toilet, she look under the couches and examine the table. Once she has finished looking everywhere she looks in the part of the room that she could not see before.
When you enter the bathroom, you find it to be rather small, with a carpeted floor and tiled walls. The tiles appear to have sides of about 4 inches. The toilet is filled with water, and is relatively clean. It has no flush lever, but a long chain with a ball on the end hangs next to it. The sink is plain, but somewhat nicer than the one in the room you woke up in. To the left of the sink is a bathtub and shower. Although there is a rod, no curtain hangs from it.
The main area is carpeted with thick, green carpet. It feels almost brand new beneath your feet. The couches are black leather, and are not worn. You find nothing beneath either. The table is a dark wood. On top of it is a box of five matches. They are of terrible quality. Also on the table is a strange black and white tile.
You see June looking at what seems to be a clear display case. It is filled with a number of artifacts, such as vases, plates, and semi valuable jewelry. It is about ten feet tall, with three shelves on the inside. Behind the case is a door. It is slightly ajar. June turns her head towards you.
June: "Look at this stuff. It's beautiful..."
"I wonder how old it is! If you need to use it, I think the toilet in here is actually usable." Maya says, "What's over here...?" Maya approaches the door on the other side of the case, opposite the way that she originally entered the room from (according to your map).
June: "I don't know, I haven't even been in there yet." She follows you into the room. You see a dresser with a mirror and a single closed drawer directly in front of you. To your right is a bed with a bright green and blue checkered blanket. Above the bed is a picture of a similar ship to the one in the room you woke up in.
June moves to the picture and attempts to pull it off of the wall. It doesn't budge.
June: "Looks like its bolted down." She pauses, looking at the picture. "This boat is huge." She pauses again. "Do you remember what Zero said? 'On April 14th, 1912...the famous ocean liner Titanic crashed into an iceberg. After remaining afloat for 2 hours and 40 minutes, it sank beneath the waters of the North Atlantic.' It seems weird that he would mention it without a reason. Do you think that this boat and the Titanic have something to do with each other?"
"I don't know. He could have just been hinting at the way in which he intends to kill us." Maya replies. "It could just be that he plans on sinking the boat in 9 hours if we fail to escape." As she talks, Maya attempts to open the drawer.
The drawer opens and reveals a modern looking key. June turns around to look at you.
June: "What if... Have you ever heard of the controversy surrounding the Titanic? The Titanic supposedly had a sister ship that was essentially identical, called the Olympic. If I remember correctly, the Olympic was a ship that had a lot of problems. And the company that owned it didn't know how to get rid of it, right? So they made the Olympic up to look just like the brand-new Titanic... And then, they sunk it, on purpose." June moves over to you to look at the key you found as she talks.
"So what are you saying? You think this is some kind of replica? Maya replies, "Have you noticed anywhere that this might go to?" Maya gestures at the key. Maya wanders over to the dresser.
June: "I don't know what this is. I just think that what Zero said was kinda weird. But the legends say that the real Titanic was renamed the Olympic and was used for a full twenty years before it was sunk by the curse." June takes a closer look at the key. "I haven't seen any keyholes in these rooms. Could it work in the Mars door? Or maybe it works in the room with Santa and Star?"
You are already at the dresser. The only components of the dresser are the mirror and the drawer, which you opened.
Maya looks behind the mirror, "Curse? What are you talking about?" Maya inquires.
You find nothing behind the mirror.
June has an almost sheepish look on her face.
June: "Supposedly the Titanic carried the mummy of the Priestess Amon-Ra, which was stolen from a pyramid. They say that the mummy had a history, and that everyone involved with it died mysterious deaths." June's eyes lit up as she talked. "Some people believe she's the reason the real Titanic went down. But it gets weirder... Like, the mummy was really pretty... I mean, she wasn't all shriveled up and stuff."
"Oh come on, June, you don't believe that mumbo-jumbo black cat stuff do you? Maya says sarcastically. Let's go check on the others. Maya glances at the picture as she heads out of the room.
June looks startled by your words and pauses, then runs after you.
June: "But... wait! They say she looked like that because she was... frozen... That she was like that from the time of discovery all the way until they put it on the Titanic. And even though they carried the body through the blistering desert heat... It never melted." She falls silent. "I don't know if I believe it or not, but I guess... sometimes the real world is stranger than fiction, right?"
You reach the other room. You find it to be superficially identical to the one you were just in, with the same furniture. However, one of the chairs lies on the ground, broken, and the empty frame that was near the door in the previous room is absent. You see Santa and Star near the display case, sweating and panting, each holding a chair leg. Santa notices you walk in.
Santa: "...This isn't what it looks like..."
Star: "We've been trying to get into this locked display case and get at some of these artifacts to see if they can help us. But this glass must be bulletproof or something because we've gotten nowhere."
Santa: "There's some creepy ass footprints in the shower, and that room behind the case doesn't have a working light. The door is jammed though, so even though you can squeeze in, it doesn't let any good light in. Feeling around, though, we think it's a bedroom."
"Ya, this room looks identical to the one we were just in. Hey I found a key, maybe it'll open that display case! Maya moves forwards to try the key.
The key doesn't fit... Wha wha...
However, closer to the case, you see a tile that looks similar to the one you found on the table in the other room, but with a different pattern.
f%## you alex. F%@& YOU! FUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOUUUU!!!!!!
"It doesn't fit. I've never had this problem before..." Maya exclaims. ;)
"Have you guys checked the bathroom yet? I'll go look in there."
I also take the tile. "I think there's another one of these in the other room. I get the feeling we should take them with. They look like pieces to a puzzle."
The tile is behind the locked case. You can see, but you can't touch.
Santa and Star both look at each other. You notice Santa's hand subtly move to cover his crotch, and Star turns a bright shade of red and begins to closely examine the tile. June giggles.
The bathroom has a sink and a toilet. The bathtub/shower is missing a shower curtain. In the center of the tub are two red footprints. Although it looks like blood, your intuition tells you its probably paint.
I made a mistake. I said that the first room had no shower curtain, but it does. It is cloth with red and gold checkers.
Jumping into the past Maya examines the red and gold checkered cloth handing from the shower. She also takes the first tile that she found so that she can compare it to the second. Upon returning to the others Maya says, "Since this case is locked maybe we should look in a few of the other rooms, there's bound to be a key somewhere that'll fit."
The curtain is made of a thin cloth. It doesn't look like it would keep water out though.
I emailed a picture of the tile to you.
Star: "You think that your key opens up one of the other room doors? That's a good idea"
However, when you go and check, none of them work.
"Damn, now what? Maya questions, "Are you sure there's no way into the unlit room? Any air vents some of us could crawl through?" Maya goes to the 2nd room to investigate for a way in. Trying to squeeze through the door, and looking for any air vents.
I think you misunderstood. The door is open enough to squeeze through, but it doesn't open enough for a good amount of light to get through. The light switch doesn't work, so its impossible to see anything. You can get in though.
Maya feels for what might be blocking the door.
Nothing is blocking the door. It seems as though the hinges were designed to only open the door that far.
Maya feels her way around the edges of the room. Feeling for anything, counter tops... anything.
The first thing you feel is a dresser, identical to the other. Assuming you pull on the drawer, you find it to be locked. You can also feel a bed on the other side of the room.
Maya feel for a key hole, and if she find one, she tries to use her key on it.
You find one, and the key fits. Inside the drawer, you feel a cold, hard, square object that you are able to remove.
"Gross... Maya thinks to herself, "Hey guys, I found something! Maya proceeds to exit before she discovers the bed in the room.
Out in the light, you see that the object you are holding is another tile. Emailed picture
Star: "Huh, very similar. I bet you're right, it is like a puzzle."
"I only felt my way through part of the room. I'm going to go back in and see if i can't find anything else useful." Maya goes back inside and feel around the room again. Once she reaches the bed she thoroughly feels her way in and under and around it for anything hiding within.
You can't feel anything interesting.
Maya takes a quick nap and then masturbates upon awaking.
"I didn't find anything else. What do you guys think we should do? In the other room there is a golden curtain in the bathroom of the other room. Santa, maybe you could help me figure out if it is of any use?" Maya proceeds to take Santa to the other room.
Santa follows.
Santa: "Why does this shower have a curtain but the other one doesn't?"
"And the other has weird red foot prints? June was talking to me about some kind of mummy princess or something. Maybe she was onto something. I don't believe in the super natural, but maybe this guy is trying to create something like that." Maya recants the legends that June told her previously.
Santa: "But a mummy? Jesus, that's kind of a stretch, especially since we haven't seen anything like that."
"Ya I know. But maybe the stories might provide us with a clue of come kind." Maya replies, "I'm going to bring this tapestry with us (The curtain). I don't know if it'll ever come in handy, but who knows." Maya then leaves the room to regroup with the other.
Star and June greet you as you reenter the room.
Star: "Did you find something? What's that?"
