BOARDWALK LADDER - 971

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 17 Feld Ladder: Variable["boardwalk.ladder_hub_reached"] 1->17 2 Kim Kitsuragi: "That's not how physics work, detective. And even if it were -- wouldn't you need some kind of apparatus? A teleportation field or..." 48 Feld Ladder: IsHourBetween(8, 19)  and  Variable["TASK.locate_ruby_on_the_coast_done"] == false 2->48 3 Feld Ladder: Variable["boardwalk.ladder_climbing_vs_teleport"] 4 Variable["boardwalk.ladder_climbing_vs_teleport"] 3->4 5 !(Variable["boardwalk.ladder_climbing_vs_teleport"]) 3->5 98 Esprit de Corps: You shouldn't attempt to get to the roof without the lieutenant here. What if you fall and need to be rushed to the hospital? 4->98 29 Esprit de Corps: You shouldn't attempt to climb this ladder without the lieutenant here. What if you fall and need to be rushed to the hospital? 5->29 6 Feld Ladder: In addition, the first rung is going to be *tough* to reach. It's, what, three metres above ground, and you're -- 180...? 64 You: One-eighty seems about right. 6->64 108 You: One-ninety. I'm a giant. 6->108 7 You: Assess the situation. 113 Feld Ladder: The distances between the remaining rungs are rather *wide*. You'd have to use the mounting brackets. However, they seem corroded and the peeling rust is razor-sharp. 7->113 8 Trant Heidelstam: "Oh my god! I can't believe it!" 21 Savoir Faire: *BAM*! You find yourself on the roof... having mastered the art of physical displacement. 8->21 9 Rhetoric: Even if it isn't -- no one told you. 22 Untitled hub 9->22 10 Kim Kitsuragi: "Okay, well. That's impressive, but..." 10->21 11 Feld Ladder: The rusty ladder leads to the rooftop. 107 feldladdermainhub 11->107 12 You: "Kim, it isn't happening! I'm not teleporting." 23 Kim Kitsuragi: He looks at you, eyes wide with feigned surprise. "You're not? Please don't try to *climb* the building, we'll get in another way." 12->23 13 Feld Ladder: Variable["boardwalk.ladder_teleport_white_failed_twice"] 14 Variable["boardwalk.ladder_teleport_white_failed_twice"] 13->14 15 !(Variable["boardwalk.ladder_teleport_white_failed_twice"]) 13->15 72 Savoir Faire: It's not happening. You simply do not have the mind-over-matter athletic capacity to pull it off at this time. 14->72 90 Feld Ladder: Variable["boardwalk.ladder_teleport_white_failed_once"] 15->90 16 Kim Kitsuragi: "You know, for the record, you didn't teleport there. You just climbed the ladder with your eyes closed..." 27 Perception (Hearing): The wind at the top of the building starts howling loudly, blowing away the lieutenant's voice... faintly you hear... 16->27 18 Variable["boardwalk.ladder_hub_reached"] 17->18 19 !(Variable["boardwalk.ladder_hub_reached"]) 17->19 18->11 94 Feld Ladder: A rusty ladder leads to the rooftop. Some of the rungs are missing. 19->94 20 Savoir Faire: What if you were to do something more *subtle*? 33 Conceptualization: What if you were to *re-conceptualize* climbing the ladder? 20->33 102 Untitled hub (02) 21->102 31 You: "It is a thing for *me*. I can't *remember* it's not a thing." 22->31 58 You: "Teleportation *is* a thing. Just needs a bit of concentration..." 22->58 75 You: "C'mon, Kim. Where's your adventurous spirit?" 22->75 88 You: "It won't hurt to try." 22->88 62 Jump to: [feldladdermainhub] 23->62 24 You: Don't say the stupid thing. 101 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant looks at you with that 'I-know-you're-thinking-the-stupid-thing' look -- as you grow tired of clenching your buttocks and give up. 24->101 25 You: You're not ready to do this yet. [Leave.] 26 Kim Kitsuragi: "This really has nothing to do with... adventure. We're dealing with basic physics here." 26->88 68 Kim Kitsuragi: "Never mind... find a way to let me in when you get inside! Don't go adventuring without backup, especially if we think the suspect may be hiding here." 27->68 28 Jump to: [You: ""It won't hurt to try.""] 28->88 29->107 30 Inland Empire: ASTRAL PROJECTION! Be *open-minded* about this. 52 Pain Threshold: Yeah... Because falling from that height seems, well -- SPLAT! So don't do that. Just, you know... 30->52 31->2 32 Rhetoric: He *did*, he totally said something about the apparatus, god damn it... 32->62 61 Rhetoric: Yes -- climbing it would be too *expensive*. The animations your body needs to make, interacting with the ladder, are beyond your capabilities at this moment in your career. 33->61 35 Feld Ladder: IsHourBetween(8, 19) 36 IsHourBetween(8, 19) 35->36 37 !(IsHourBetween(8, 19)) 35->37 42 Trant Heidelstam: "Officer, be careful! Officer!" 36->42 69 Kim Kitsuragi: "Careful..." 37->69 38 Savoir Faire: No -- not like a regular person. Like a phase spider. 38->27 39 Kim Kitsuragi: "Teleportation apparatus? I don't remember mentioning anything about teleportation apparatus. Please don't try to *climb* the building, we'll get in another way." 39->32 40 Savoir Faire: Yes. Teleportation is completely not a thing. Perhaps if you were to, instead, climb the ladder with your eyes closed? This way it's less scary. 109 You: Grab the first rung. 40->109 41 Trant Heidelstam: "Teleportation, Mikael. It's... generally thought impossible." 41->28 54 Pain Threshold: Brace yourself! 42->54 43 You: Grab the second rung. 99 Feld Ladder: Your fingers slip from the rung... 43->99 44 You: Teleport to the roof. 45 You: Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_savoir_wc"] 44->45 46 Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_savoir_wc"] 45->46 47 !(Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_savoir_wc"]) 45->47 103 Feld Ladder: Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_savoir_wc"] 46->103 47->103 49 IsHourBetween(8, 19)  and  Variable["TASK.locate_ruby_on_the_coast_done"] == false 48->49 50 !(IsHourBetween(8, 19)  and  Variable["TASK.locate_ruby_on_the_coast_done"] == false) 48->50 56 Mikael Heidelstam: "What are they talking about?" the kid behind you whispers, asking his father. 49->56 50->88 51 Physical Instrument: Hear that? You're old. That's why you can't do it. Old and feeble. A let-down. A failure. 53 Jump to: [feldladdermainhub] 51->53 60 Jump to: [feldladdermainhub] 52->60 53->107 78 Feld Ladder: Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_painth_block"] 54->78 55 You: "I did it, Kim! I teleported!" 59 Kim Kitsuragi: "I just *saw* you climb the ladder," the lieutenant shouts from below. "You just climbed it, like a regular person." 55->59 56->41 57 Kim Kitsuragi: "Yeah, that doesn't look good at all." 57->107 83 Kim Kitsuragi: "Okay, let's say teleportation is a thing. Wouldn't you need some kind of... scientific apparatus to create a teleportation field? You can't just do it without apparatus." 58->83 59->38 60->107 61->30 62->107 63 Jump to: [feldladdermainhub] 63->107 110 Feld Ladder: Not to mention that the roof is collapsing and the wind gets pretty brutal up there. Dismounting from the ladder is going to be *hard*. Perhaps if you were to... *not* climb the ladder? Instead... 64->110 65 Perception (Hearing): Because you're just standing there squeezing your buttocks and nothing is happening. 84 Untitled hub 65->84 66 You: Don't gloat. Just stand there like a Samaran master. 66->16 67 You: "What if I don't climb? What if I just... *teleport*?" 82 Kim Kitsuragi: "Teleportation is not a thing." The lieutenant stares at you, stone-faced. 67->82 81 Feld Ladder: RemoveKitsuragiWaitAtLair(); 68->81 69->54 70 You: Why? 70->65 71 Feld Ladder: The ladder gleams arrogantly with what remains of its metallic lustre as you hit the barrel and tumble onto the ground. 77 Kim Kitsuragi: "Enough of that now, officer..." The lieutenant pats you on the back. "There has got to be a better, more *age-appropriate* way in." 71->77 72->63 73 Savoir Faire: On second thought, maybe teleportation isn't a thing. 73->70 74 Kim Kitsuragi: "Oh yes. It could hurt. A lot." 111 Authority: He is restraining himself from using a parental tone with you right now. 74->111 75->26 76 Savoir Faire: All you need to do is close your eyes and concentrate. Darkness *enfolds* you. You can *feel* the distance between the bench and the first rung of the ladder. All you need to is... 115 You: Do it. 76->115 77->51 79 Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_painth_block"] 78->79 80 !(Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_painth_block"]) 78->80 112 Feld Ladder: The ladder gleams arrogantly with what remains of its metallic lustre as you hit the barrel and tumble onto the ground. 79->112 80->71 82->9 83->48 84->12 84->24 100 You: "Kim, do you know where I could *get* that teleportation apparatus?" 84->100 85 Feld Ladder: IsHourBetween(8, 19) 86 IsHourBetween(8, 19) 85->86 87 !(IsHourBetween(8, 19)) 85->87 86->8 87->10 88->74 89 Savoir Faire: *ZOOT*! *ZAP*! *POW*! *CRINKLE*! It's like magic, you feel yourself disappear, your atoms fading out of existence... 89->85 91 Variable["boardwalk.ladder_teleport_white_failed_once"] 90->91 92 !(Variable["boardwalk.ladder_teleport_white_failed_once"]) 90->92 91->40 92->73 93 Feld Ladder: Okay. But, still -- the roof is collapsing and the wind gets pretty brutal up there. Dismounting from the ladder is going to be *hard*. Perhaps if you were to... *not* climb the ladder? Instead... 93->20 95 Feld Ladder: IsKimHere() 94->95 96 IsKimHere() 95->96 97 !(IsKimHere()) 95->97 96->57 97->3 98->107 99->35 100->39 101->62 102->55 102->66 104 Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_savoir_wc"] 103->104 105 !(Variable["boardwalk.feld_ladder_savoir_wc"]) 103->105 104->76 105->13 106 Feld Ladder: It doesn't crumble in your hand, as one might expect. In fact, it doesn't even bend. 106->43 107->7 107->25 107->44 107->67 108->93 109->106 110->20 114 Jump to: [feldladdermainhub] 111->114 112->77 113->6 114->107 115->89
