WHIRLING F1 SPARE WORKSHOP KEYS - 646

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 131 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"] == true 1->131 2 Alain: "What the fuck does the kitchen have to do with this?" The tattooed man does not understand. 90 Shanky: "While you're in there -- make fatty a snack." He grins. "Can't you hear how his stomach is growling?!" 2->90 3 Visual Calculus: It's close enough to the latch up there -- one can slide it open and just take it. Surely not a coincidence. 106 You: "Someone's hid a key in the bush." (Point at the window.) 3->106 4 Titus Hardie: "It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs. 20 Empathy: The shrug is disingenuous. He's intrigued -- if only for a moment. 4->20 6 Cafeteria Window: Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door_done"] 7 Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door_done"] 6->7 8 !(Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door_done"]) 6->8 21 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.orb_pinball_key_note_clicked"] 7->21 108 Kim Kitsuragi: "It *could* open the door in the kitchen -- the blue door." He looks at the key in your hand. "It says 'Workshop, Spare' -- maybe there's a workshop there?" 8->108 9 Empathy: It's said without aggression -- as genuine advice. 42 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 9->42 10 You: "There's something out there." 11 Shanky: "Yeah -- your mother." 10->11 15 Conceptualization: It's not a very good mother-joke, but the room still laughs. Something about those mother-jokes just *works*. 11->15 12 Untitled hub 12->10 47 You: Look out the window. 12->47 51 You: [Revert your gaze.] 12->51 119 You: Look out the window. 12->119 136 You: Squint. 12->136 13 Perception (Sight): Nothing, as before. Just black branches. 102 Shanky: "What's this weirdo cop doing now, huh? Window-shopping?" 13->102 14 Visual Calculus: You see two, maybe three bushes, grown into a single thicket -- over a period of circa 50 years. It takes time for a hedge like that to form. 14->12 134 Jump to: [Untitled hub] 15->134 16 Theo: "Off yourself -- make it up to me, cop. I still got my money on that." 162 Authority: There is a silence around this man's words -- unlike Titus, they're *afraid* of him. That's the type of respect he commands. 16->162 17 You: "I need your guys to hand the key to me." 151 Shanky: "And *I* need the fatty to get his feet amputated 'cause the smell is killing me -- we can't always get what we want." 17->151 18 You: Take the key. 112 Theo: The key is brass. 'Workshop, Spare' is etched into its bow. The old man closes the window and sits back down in silence. 18->112 19 Jump to: [Untitled hub] 19->12 130 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 20->130 22 Variable["whirling.orb_pinball_key_note_clicked"] 21->22 23 !(Variable["whirling.orb_pinball_key_note_clicked"]) 21->23 67 Kim Kitsuragi: "It's for the blue door in the kitchen -- the note inside said the workshop key is behind the window. This is that key." He makes a note in his blue notebook. 22->67 100 Kim Kitsuragi: "It's for the blue door in the kitchen. There was a note there that you missed. It said the workshop key is behind the window. It's this key." He makes a note in his blue notebook. 23->100 24 Cafeteria Window: IsKimHere() 25 IsKimHere() 24->25 26 !(IsKimHere()) 24->26 115 Cafeteria Window: Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"] 25->115 71 Cafeteria Window: Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"] 26->71 27 Cafeteria Window: There's a little slide panel up there, to let some air in. No need to open it in spring. It's still too cold outside. 140 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"] 27->140 28 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.hardies_theo_thinks_youll_kill_yourself"] 29 Variable["whirling.hardies_theo_thinks_youll_kill_yourself"] 28->29 30 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_theo_thinks_youll_kill_yourself"]) 28->30 29->16 59 Theo: "Don't thank me." The old man takes out his pack of chewing tobacco. "I don't give two shits about your key." 30->59 31 Glen: "Why did she put it *back*? After she took it?" 159 Shanky: "Look at Glenny and his girlfriend!" 31->159 32 Glen: "Boss, I don't want to make excuses for her, but..." He stops. 160 Titus Hardie: "Go ahead, Glen." 32->160 33 Perception (Sight): There's a yellow ribbon tied to one of the branches -- light yellow, faded with time. A tiny splash of colour in the blackness of the thicket. Hanging from it -- a bronze key. 114 Logic: Someone hid the key in the bush and attached a yellow ribbon to make it easier to find. 33->114 34 You: (Look at the key in your hand.) "I wonder what doors does it open?" 34->24 35 Visual Calculus: The kitchen -- the only part of the building you haven't thoroughly searched yet. 35->130 36 Theo: With a loud thud the old man stands up -- pushes the window open -- grabs the key from the hawthorn branch and slides it across the table to you. 36->18 37 Theo: "I'm tired of listening to your shit." 88 Untitled hub (02) 37->88 38 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.hardies_viscalc_hedge_to_form"] 39 Variable["whirling.hardies_viscalc_hedge_to_form"] 38->39 40 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_viscalc_hedge_to_form"]) 38->40 143 Visual Calculus: One can't see into the Union box from the yard *outside* -- that hawthorn is too thick. 39->143 40->134 41 Shanky: "Wow, no. I hadn't heard that." 68 Alain: "Yeah -- because they like to sniff around in *dirt*." The tattooed man gives you a look. 41->68 42->88 43 You: [Leave.] 44 Logic: It's worth a try. 138 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 44->138 45 Titus Hardie: "It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs. 45->20 46 You: "Thank you." (Nod to the old man.) 46->28 48 You: Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_second_whiote_succeeded"] 47->48 49 Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_second_whiote_succeeded"] 48->49 50 !(Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_second_whiote_succeeded"]) 48->50 96 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_second_whiote_succeeded"] 49->96 50->96 52 Kim Kitsuragi: "There was a barred door on the roof that did *not* have a lock -- perhaps there is one *downstairs* that does?" He looks around. "We should search the *kitchen*." 52->2 53 Alain: "I think he's trying to find dirt on us, in our box. It's what they do, Shanks. Did you know policemen are sometimes called *pigs*?" 53->41 54 Titus Hardie: "Didn't even know it was there..." The man looks at the key in your hand -- then around the room. "Boys?" 139 Alain: "No idea." 54->139 55 Cafeteria Window: IsKimHere() 56 IsKimHere() 55->56 57 !(IsKimHere()) 55->57 110 Kim Kitsuragi: "If he says it's there, it's there." The lieutenant takes his glasses off to clean them -- then puts them back on. 56->110 161 Jump to: [thewindow] 57->161 58 Glen: "Sorry, Fucko! These *guys* won't help you. Looks like you're gonna have to go bush-diving. The hawthorn's got a bitch of a bite!" 94 Shanky: "I'm gonna enjoy the sight of you in the bushes out there..." 58->94 59->162 60 Cafeteria Window: Behind the dockworkers: a ceiling height window. The hawthorn branches scrape the glass like bony fingers. 77 Inland Empire: The men are talking, but you swear you hear those black limbs tap on the window as the wind blows outside. 60->77 61 Empathy: The shrug is disingenuous. He's intrigued -- if only for a moment. 61->35 62 Titus Hardie: "A little wisdom from old Titus -- not everything is connected to one thing. Keys just lie around. It's a messy world." 62->9 63 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_twice"] 64 Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_twice"] 63->64 65 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_twice"]) 63->65 92 Perception (Sight): Nothing, as always. By now you're almost certain there may be a sparrow's nest on one of the branches. 64->92 65->13 66 You: "Maybe this is somehow connected to Ruby getting to the roof?" 101 Titus Hardie: "Your secret route theory?" He shakes his head. "You're grasping for straws, cop-man. Why'd she put it back if it's hers?" 66->101 67->138 70 Logic: He's just trying to sound clever. He has no idea what you're looking for -- nor do you, yourself. 68->70 69 Titus Hardie: "Wild theory, cop-man. The worst thing is -- I like it. She's been in this box plenty of times. This would give her access to the workshop route." 69->32 93 Jump to: [Untitled hub] 70->93 72 Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"] 71->72 73 !(Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"]) 71->73 127 Cafeteria Window: Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door_done"] 72->127 155 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"] 73->155 74 Cafeteria Window: Variable["TASK.prove_your_authority_to_the_hardie_boys_done"] 75 Variable["TASK.prove_your_authority_to_the_hardie_boys_done"] 74->75 76 !(Variable["TASK.prove_your_authority_to_the_hardie_boys_done"]) 74->76 75->33 118 Perception (Sight): Nothing. Even though you *know* you should see it -- you don't. Just branches like black tangles of hair. Motionless. The wind in the yard doesn't reach the hawthorn. Maybe come back later and you can try again? 76->118 77->14 78 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.spare_keys_wc"] 79 Variable["whirling.spare_keys_wc"] 78->79 80 !(Variable["whirling.spare_keys_wc"]) 78->80 79->74 148 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_once"] 80->148 81 Perception (Sight): Nothing. Just black tangles like the hair of an old woman. Motionless. The wind in the yard doesn't reach the hawthorn, nor does the light come in from this window. 85 Jump to: [Untitled hub] 81->85 82 Cafeteria Window: Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"] 83 Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"] 82->83 84 !(Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"]) 82->84 83->52 158 Kim Kitsuragi: "It says... 'Workshop, Spare'." He looks at the key in your hand. "There's a door in the *kitchen* that caught my eye yesterday -- it's very *blue*. Maybe there's a workshop behind it?" 84->158 85->12 86 Titus Hardie: "Huh?" The big guy looks behind him. 145 thewindow 86->145 87 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 87->88 88->34 88->43 88->46 88->66 135 You: "Does anyone know why this key was hanging right outside the Union box window?" 88->135 144 You: "Maybe this is how Ruby got to the roof that night? Using this key." 88->144 89 Inland Empire: It wasn't time yet. You have to know of the girl... Return when you know more. 89->19 99 Perception (Hearing): You can and it's pretty terrifying. 90->99 91 Titus Hardie: "It's a solid point, Shanks. There's a lot of things off about pinning this on Ruby. Be careful when you find her, cop -- be *fair*. Give her a chance to defend herself." 123 Empathy: It's said without aggression. In good trust. 91->123 109 Visual Calculus: Yes. The nest of a common house sparrow. Passer domesticus. 92->109 93->12 94->36 95 Titus Hardie: "It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs. 95->61 97 Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_second_whiote_succeeded"] 96->97 98 !(Variable["whirling.unionbox_key_second_whiote_succeeded"]) 96->98 97->33 98->148 113 Fat Angus: "That's not even funny, Dennis." 99->113 100->138 101->62 102->53 103 Jump to: [Untitled hub (02)] 103->88 104 Titus Hardie: "I'm not your janitor, cop." He glances at the window. "I don't even know what you're talking about. There's nothing there." 104->55 105 Titus Hardie: "It's an older building -- who knows?" He shrugs. 105->61 106->86 107 Cafeteria Window: Again you find yourself looking at that big old window... 107->12 108->44 137 Inland Empire: Keep at it. There must be a reason you've looked out this window so many times. 109->137 110->161 111 You: "Can you let me slide by so I can grab the thing?" 124 Alain: "I don't know about that..." The tattooed man yawns and settles more comfortably on the bench. "I'm comfortable here... don't think any sliding would really help right now." 111->124 146 Glen: "C'mon, man. We were just having some fun! Where's the harm in...?" 112->146 154 Visual Calculus: The kitchen -- the only part of the building you haven't thoroughly searched yet. It's worth a try! 113->154 114->3 116 Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"] 115->116 117 !(Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door"]) 115->117 116->6 117->82 118->89 120 You: Variable["whirling.spare_keys_wc"] 119->120 121 Variable["whirling.spare_keys_wc"] 120->121 122 !(Variable["whirling.spare_keys_wc"]) 120->122 121->78 122->78 123->42 153 Glen: "Sorry, Fucko! Looks like you're gonna have to go bush-diving. Good fucking luck with that -- the hawthorn's got a bitch of a bite!" 124->153 125 You: "Titus, can you hand the key to me please?" 125->104 126 Fat Angus: "Goddamnit, Dennis. You know I can't help it!" His whiny voice is in deep contrast with his stature. 126->58 128 Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door_done"] 127->128 129 !(Variable["TASK.enter_the_mysterious_door_done"]) 127->129 128->45 129->4 130->88 132 Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"] == true 131->132 133 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"] == true) 131->133 132->107 133->60 134->12 135->54 136->27 137->93 138->88 152 Eugene: "Never even seen it. Someone must have hidden it there before this room became our place." 139->152 141 Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"] 140->141 142 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_inland_black_tree_taps"]) 140->142 147 Inland Empire: You're not so sure about that. Somehow you just *know* -- there's something out there, behind the glass. 141->147 142->38 143->134 144->69 145->17 145->111 145->125 146->37 147->134 149 Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_once"] 148->149 150 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_perception_key_failed_once"]) 148->150 149->63 150->81 151->126 152->103 153->94 154->138 156 Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"] 155->156 157 !(Variable["whirling.barreddoor_greeting_done"]) 155->157 156->105 157->95 158->2 159->91 160->31 161->145 162->87
