  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Sounds like it. We might as well.
  • Okay.

    Being careful not to lose your balance, you repeatedly apply pressure to the lock, but the window will not open.

    You could try breaking the glass, using some other way to get it open, or giving up.

  • You want to return to the room with the intruder? Are you sure that's a good idea?
  • Try to make the leap onto the staircase below, rolling, if need be.

  • We have two opposing suggestions. Maybe you guys can come to a resolution?

    TIEBREAKER TIME!

    My experience with Zelda tells me that rolling breaks any fall. Let's jump on that staircase.

  • Can we keep OOC in blackboxes? So as not to disturb our neighbors?
  • You dangle off the ledge, then drop onto the staircase, rolling to attempt to break your fall. You stifle a scream of pain upon landing, but manage to pull yourself to your feet and rush down the staircase, though your ankle is extremely painful.

    At the bottom, you find yourself in a disused car park, with only two cars in it: a white Honda and a black Subaru. The only way out is up a set of staircases leading up onto a verge above.

    What do you do?

    Check the handles of both cars, see if one of them is unlocked.

    I think it's the British equivalent for parking deck.
  • Yeah, it's British English for what you call a parking lot.

    Both cars are locked, but you hear a strange sound from the trunk of the Honda, as though there were someone in there...

    Examine the trunk of the Honda further and try to get it open in case it's one of those weird mumbling cars.
  • It's locked, and you can't hear what's on the inside very clearly. Any ideas as to how to get it open?

    Use the pen in an attempt to jiggle the lock open.
  • > Use PEN on LOCK

    Success! You open the trunk, and recoil in horror when your eyes meet those of a rotted corpse.

    He's obviously been dead for days. What the hell was making that sound, then? Maybe you're going crazy. It would be understandable, considering.

    What do you do?
  • It's an unsavory prospect, but search the man's clothes for anything of value. I might need it.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Addendum: Plug nose, try to forget that it's a rotting corpse, and then search the body.
  • Swallowing your pride, as well as some bile, you root through the man's clothes, and find a wallet with a few credit cards and banknotes in it, as well a driver's licence identifying him as "Leonard Skoll" and a set of car keys.

    > Skoll's wallet and all its contents added to inventory.

    What now?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Use keys on car door.
  • The door works! This must be Kroll's car.

    Get in?

    GET IN THE CAR
  • You get in, and reasoning that it's probably not a very good idea to stick around here for much longer, drive off onto an open road. You look at the building you've just come from, which is apparently called the "Sunshine Motel".

    There isn't much else around; you seem to be rather off the beaten track.

    You notice that the car has a GPS in it, but it has no destination programmed.

    What now?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    >Satellites: Trilaterate.
  • You try to ascertain your position via GPS. Apparently, you're in Oregon, and you decide to head off towards the nearest population center.

    Anything else you want to do?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Maybe mark the location of the motel on there in case you need to return?
  • You do that.

    As you're driving along, you realise something - you're driving in someone else's car with a corpse in the trunk. If someone finds that, you're fucked. Any ideas?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Check how far it is from the outskirts of the town to the nearest police station.
  • Sunshine Motel? Get a room, leave a corpse in the adjacent cubicle, no-one will notice.

  • i wish to come up with a song lyric for this signature, but no song lyrics are coming to mind

    Drive the car off a bridge and jump out before it falls off the bridge.

    what could possibly go wrong
