Nan never really considered herself in terms of traits like that before. But if she had to choose one she'd probably be known for her ABILITY TO HUM SHOWTUNES.

Someone approaches from behind a row of arcade games, giving Nan a little start.
The man introduces himself as the owner of the arcade. The place has power, he explains, but there's something seriously wrong with the fusebox and he can't get the place running, so he's losing profit.

He says the fusebox is in the basement and he'll gladly show Nan the way.

It looks more like just stains and dirt, but Nan doesn't know too much about mold anyway.

Nan heads upstairs and tells the owner the problem is fixed. It appears he already knows. He's wasted no time attracting a crowd. Something about a live arcade just brings in kids on a saturday morning. They'd never get up this early for school.

Nan sits down and starts to wait.
This is very boring.
Five minutes pass.

>>61331
Don't wait under the chandelier! That's asking for it to fall.

>>61331
Oh what are you doing!
You can't just sit there for a half an hour!
Nevermind manners, have a look around!
Maybe you could find the problem and fix it before anyone even gets back!
Haha they would be so impressed!

Leave a notice that you were there but there was no one to receive you and that they need to make a new appointment.
Move on to next job.

>>61331

Screw politeness! Let's have a look around!

>>61331
Follow the wiring of the chandelier into the next room.

Shlick furiously.

Nan reviews her work order.
The east-facing outlet in room 117 needs to be replaced and rewired. It seems very straightforward.

Replace it. Then rewire the crap out of it.

>>61338
If you fix it before they get back, they might not pay you. Because intruding, and what not.

Just start singing at the top of your lungs. I suggest Happy Days.

Charge them for this waiting time.

Let's do it.

A simple outlet rewiring could be done before the concierge gets back. Nan heads off to find room 117, which is probably here on the first floor.

Leave a note, at least.

Does the chandelier have wiring strung through the air going to a closet? I can see why they need work done.
Now, is this the first floor or the ground floor? Let's find a room and read the heck out if its number.

>>61346
Huh, they attached the chandelier's power cord to an outlet in the janitor's closet? Weird.

Nan continues down the hall, past the elevator, and gets to the rooms. Luckily for her, they all seem to follow a predictable numeric system.

>>61354

You should totally suggest they get that chandelier properly wired, if you've got the skills to do it and it'll fetch a good price.

Nan briefly considers knocking on the door of the stranger, but she's awfully shy. She wouldn't know what to say. She doesn't even know what she'd want to say.

There's no little mint on the pillow! What kind of crass establishment is this?
If Nan wasn't already pretty full from pizza she'd be even more upset. Still, it would have helped get rid of pizzabreath.

Pizzabreath is sexy. Now let's get to work on that outlet. Keep an eye on the door every now and then. Don't know who may try to sneak up on you.

Good thinking.
But this reminds Nan of a puzzle: which outlet is in need of repairs? If she replaces the wiring on the wrong one, it'll be wasted time. And if she tries one to test it, and it's the one that needs repairs, incomplete wiring could cause an electrical fire!

Using all the information you have already, you should be able to solve this!

>>61426
It's the East-facing outlet, silly!

>>61428
But which way is east?

>>61426
Don't you have a multimeter or something that can test without actually putting a load on the socket? Did the work order change, is it for one outlet or multiple? Whatever, start with the East-facing one in here and then check it again.

>>61426
How many outlets are there? I only see two, and they're both facing the same way, so neither of them can be "the" east-facing outlet.

>>61431
Toward the back of the building.

>>61431
I see two outlets, both facing one direction. Are there other outlets? If there's only one other outlet, that must be the correct one. If there's two, well... Uh...

>>61431
Oh, of course. The sun was rising behind the hotel. It is currently to the right. The outlet that needs fixing should be on the wall to the left, opposite the bed.

>>61434
NNG, you beat me!

I think this quest is a lot like that Creepy Wall thread we had on /tg/ a couple years back: players had been told it'd be a horror campaign and waited a long while for something to happen, but nothing ever did.

Weaver's reputation and Nan's small role in Ruby Quest has lead us all to expect a horrifying mindfuck, but so far there's been nothing of such.

>The sun was rising behind the hotel. It is currently to the right.
Nan considers that if the sun was rising behind the hotel, and she's been going further and further back in it, then she's been heading East. Therefore East must be to the right of this room.
She moves the small stand and sure enough, there's another outlet on that wall.

Now for one final question.
Did the order mean "east-facing" as in "on the West wall" (facing east?) or "on the East wall" (when facing east)?

If the outlet isn't working, the hotel staff may have hidden it behind the dresser beside the bed. Check behind the dresser

There is another outlet here as well.

Flip coin.

Didnt you bring something you could use to test them?

the one beside the bed is probably the one to fix

>>61448
That one looks funny. LOGICALLY it is the broken one.

It is obviously the one on the west wall (left). The order says the "east-facing socket" not the "socket seen when east-facing".

Test the outlet on the west wall. (To the left)

Become cynical, assume everyone other than you is incompetent, and work on the outlet on the eastern wall because they obviously meant that and gave you some half-assed incorrect description of the outlet's whereabouts.

>>61448
Look at the outlet. Are there scorch marks?

Nan sees what appears to be scorch marks around the outlet and decides this must be the one. She gets to work replacing the wiring (wearing safety gloves of course!) and the job appears pretty straightforward after all.

There is someone behind you. Don't freak out or look or anything, just apologize for the intrusion and proclaim you'll be done shortly after fixing the outlet.

Turn around and politely excuse yourself out of the room.

Nan investigates the bathroom, but it only has outlets on the North wall.

Maybe there's one in the shower stall.

>>61511
There could be a clue in the toilet

There might be one in the shower with a GFCI on it for things like shavers, and it would be a very bad idea to leave such an outlet in a broken unchecked state.

It's possible they have a specialty outlet installed in the shower itself. Nan checks.

But there's no outlet in the shower. That means no more work here.
