DOOMED CURTAINS - 872

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 18 Variable["doomed.seen_safety_curtains"] 1->18 2 You: Knock on it harder. 38 Safety Curtains: Still nothing. No one's home. 2->38 3 Kim Kitsuragi: "Thanks." 24 Kim Kitsuragi: "In any case, there's no way we can get in right now. Let's investigate further." 3->24 4 Safety Curtains: An iron safety curtain curves before your eyes, folded like a bellows. It covers half the room -- blocking the way into a colossal industrial chimney. 25 IsTaskActive("TASK.find_the_witch")--[[ Variable[ ]] 4->25 5 Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation_done"] == false 6 Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation_done"] == false 5->6 7 !(Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation_done"] == false) 5->7 28 Logic: If this is really an entrance to the chimney then there must be a furnace somewhere as well. Maybe there's another way to get in? 6->28 29 IsKimHere() 7->29 8 Variable["TASK.find_the_witch"] 9 Variable["TASK.find_the_witch"] 8->9 10 !(Variable["TASK.find_the_witch"]) 8->10 21 Physical Instrument: There must be another way to wake up whoever is in there... Maybe you should try yelling into the furnace downstairs? 9->21 49 Logic: There must be another way to wake up whoever is in there... Maybe you should talk to the lady in the bookstore, ask what's going on? 10->49 11 curtains hub 11->2 22 You: [Leave.] 11->22 39 You: Knock *even* harder! 11->39 55 You: Knock on it. 11->55 61 You: "Hello? I yelled, but it didn't work..." 11->61 12 Kim Kitsuragi: "Why do you think there's something on the other side necessarily?" the lieutenant asks, but you can see a spark of curiosity in his eyes. 12->24 13 IsKimHere() 14 IsKimHere() 13->14 15 !(IsKimHere()) 13->15 42 Variable["TASK.find_the_witch"] 14->42 15->8 16 Safety Curtains: What an odd thing to do....

It covers half the room -- blocking the way into a colossal industrial chimney. 19->62 20->4 33 Jump to: [curtains hub] 21->33 23 You: "This is not random, this is *significant*. I want to see what's on the other side." 23->12 36 Jump to: [curtains hub] 24->36 26 IsTaskActive("TASK.find_the_witch")--[[ Variable[ ]] 25->26 27 !(IsTaskActive("TASK.find_the_witch")--[[ Variable[ ]]) 25->27 63 Inland Empire: This must be where the *Entity* lives... 26->63 66 Variable["doomed.furnace_heard_voices"] 27->66 28->29 30 IsKimHere() 29->30 31 !(IsKimHere()) 29->31 65 Kim Kitsuragi: "Can you please try to refrain from attacking random things?" 30->65 31->17 32 You: "I can try..." (Blow gently on your bruised knuckles.) 32->3 33->11 34 Safety Curtains: Again your voice becomes a raspy croak, mid-sentence. It's silent in the abandoned office building -- no one answers you. 41 Empathy: A sudden bout of self pity comes over you. 34->41 35 Safety Curtains: Those curtains prove to be surprisingly sturdy... Your fist hurts now. 57 Variable["doomed.furnace_heard_voices"] 35->57 36->11 37 Kim Kitsuragi: "There must be another way to wake up whoever is in there... Maybe we can try yelling into the furnace downstairs?" 37->33 38->17 39->35 40 Drama: Sire, may we suggest something? Think of the yelling-into-the-furnace as a *grand performance*. Use your chest voice, not your head voice. Sing from the diaphragm. 51 Variable["doomed.curtains_drama_performance"] 40->51 41->40 43 Variable["TASK.find_the_witch"] 42->43 44 !(Variable["TASK.find_the_witch"]) 42->44 43->37 64 Kim Kitsuragi: "There must be another way to wake up whoever is in there... Maybe we should ask the lady in the bookstore what's going on here?" 44->64 45 Logic: This is directly above the central furnace in the cellar. The voices probably came from here. 45->11 46 Physical Instrument: You took your shot and still missed. Well, you did your best, champ. Shame it wasn't good enough. 48 Jump to: [curtains hub] 46->48 48->11 49->33 50 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant sighs. "Ghosts aren't real, didn't your parents tell you that? In any case, there's no way we can get in right now. Let's investigate further." 50->36 52 Variable["doomed.curtains_drama_performance"] 51->52 53 !(Variable["doomed.curtains_drama_performance"]) 51->53 60 Physical Instrument: Perhaps it's not such a bad idea?
