Okay, now stop freaking out. We must observe then think.

NAN! Nan. Pull yourself together. So you can't leave out the front door. Okay, okay. No use freaking out.

We just need to carefully and cautiously attempt every possible escape.

THEN, you can panic.

True. The note on the counter seems to have become whole again.
But it's not quite like Nan remembers it.

You can't leave until you have fixed all faulty wiring! some sort of electrician's purgatory. Get to work on that terrible chandelier cord.

Nan decides to throw the pendant on for the time being, and tucks it into her shirt so it won't be noticeable.
Of course Nan's wearing a bra. She needs support when she's on the job.

Nan checks her pockets. She is still carrying:
* The STRANGE CLOCK, still reading 4:66 PM.
* A PHILLIPS-HEAD SCREWDRIVER taken from the cubbyhole.
* The CROSSED PENDANT
* And a CHECK FOR REPAIRS from the FUN FAMILY ARCADE.

Nan goes to ring the bell.

Crrclllhhhh.

There is no chime. Just a faint, wet crunching sound.

This is obviously some sort of mirror of the previous 'hotel' we were in

>>68237

Does the red dot on the clock indicate AM/PM or is it an alarm?
In either case, reset it.

Oh god check under the bell to see what we just crushed.

>>68237
Can you take the bell apart and see what's inside making the wet crunching noise? Probably won't be pretty but might as well.

>>68239
Actually that 'may' be a bad idea.

Don't look under the bell. Some things are better left unseen.

Equip HAT and COAT. Pertend to be Solomon Kane.

Examining the bell sounds like a good idea. Also throw a quick peek out the door into the hallway, see if the elevator is working.

Remove the rodent and clean the inside of the bell. Replace the cover of the bell. Then ring it properly!

Hey, everyone. I'd like to note that we should have NEVER left the god damn lobby and just waited the damn thirty minutes. Or, you know, left and done another job. One that won't drive us insane.

Nope! There's nothing there. Nan tests the bell but it simply doesn't ring. Maybe it just broke.

Sneak a peek Nan - c'mon, do it!

>>68383
While he gets dressed, check out that SCRAP behind the PAINTING.

Look at the picture while you wait.

>then blushes lightly and asks Nan for a minute so he can get dressed.
>get dressed.
Realize he was naked this whole time.
Blush furiously.

>Say that's it certainly is NICE to meet him, just that this place seemed... empty, and it was freaking you out.
Nan introduces herself politely and the man, still blushing, does the same. He says his name is Henry.


>>68389
>Realize he was naked this whole time. Blush furiously.
>>68386
>Sneak a peek Nan - c'mon, do it!
Nan blushes furiously and decides to be naughty. She takes a quick peek as he's closing the door and catches the briefest glimpse of Henry's bare ass.
Nice.

...
Just how much dressing does he have to do, Nan? Any mental images? Apart from that poor mouse, getting trapped inside that bell so long ago, getting savagely beaten by the ringer as asshole customers bang on the bell as hard as they can, trying to get some service and get the bell to ring. It's squeaks of pain and frantic strugglings unheard through the din of the shouting, irate customer...

Maybe you can try finding the snack bar or vending machine farm that these seedy hotels usually have. If you're lucky, maybe they have an actual cafe.

What a fine booty! Nan should study the picture while she waits. Not much else to do in this corridor, right?

>>68390
You saucy minx you.
Wait for Henry I guess.

>>68393
An excellent idea, that picture looked like a fine work of art. Nan should go comtemplate it immediately.

>>68396
Not again. Flashlight...

>>68396
Ask Henry if he's alright. We don't want him fumbling around in the dark, trying to get dressed - he might get seriously hurt!

Oh dear. You still have the flashlight, right? Perhaps you should go help Henry, despite the...Unfortunate position he must be in. Dressing in the dark is no easy task!

>>68396
Get ye flashlight and call out to Henry.

This place must have some serious electrical problems for the lights to keep going out. Might start a mental tally for any actual repairs you do. ...or charge by the hour.

Nan again brings out her flashlight. She knocks on the door, but what should she say to Henry? She certainly doesn't want him to get hurt, but...

>>68402
"Are you all right?"

>>68402
Check out the painting for a second.

>>68402
Just a simple "You okay?" will do.

Nan asks if Henry is okay, if he needs any help.

She pauses for a moment.

There's no response from Henry.

Soft noises, like footsteps, are slowly growing louder from somewhere down the hall.

Ask if he needs a flashlight. Then briefly check out the painting again. There's something strange about these outages, and checking the painting was the last thing she did before something happened.

>>68407
Shine flashlight in that direction.

>>68407
Crap, ditch the pleasantries - get inside Henry's room!

>>68407
OH GEEZE
GET IN HIS ROOM NOW
LOCK THE DOOR AAAAA

>Ask if he needs a flashlight. Then briefly check out the painting again. There's something strange about these outages, and checking the painting was the last thing she did before something happened.

Retcon. Quickly check out the painting, THEN the noise.

You're pretty level-headed, Nan. Ask yourself this. Do you WANT to know what's making the footstep sounds in the creepy hotel you're stuck in?

>>68407
Get into Henry's room!

>>68407
Into the room!

>>68407
Just shine the flashlight down the hall. If it's something scary, you can run away.

Nan decides NOT to investigate whatever's making that noise.

She's already on edge enough as it is, and in a panic, she bursts into Henry's room.

[animated]

>>68418
Turn around swiftly, stammering and such. Say that the lights went out, ask if he heard you knocking.

>>68418
Blush furiously and lock the bloody door

>>68418
Blush super furiously.
Stammer out an incoherent explanation about the power going out and hearing something in the hallway.

>>68418
Act like nothing is wrong.
Say hi!

turn around quickly and apalogize. Best be honest about this. The lights went out, and something freaked you out.

Turn around, don't look, Apologize. Simple enough.

Don't lock the door: that'd be a bit on the paranoid side right now, and would just freak Henry out.

Freaky as this place is we haven't really seen anything threatening yet.

Nan blushes furiously and apologizes for barging in like that. The lights went out and she got spooked. She turns around and covers her face so she won't look.

Henry laughs a bit, blushing lightly himself, and suggests it must have been just the hallway, because his light's fine.

>>68425
JUST the hallway light went off?

...Someone may be screwing with you.

I have faith enough in Nan to believe she isn't on any kind of medication. So that leaves...Weirdness. Once Henry gets dressed, they can investigate the Lobby to see if the door leading out is still blocked.

Sigh, face palm, and relax just a bit. Admit that a few odd things have happened already, and you suspect one of the hotel attendants might be playing pranks.

That or insanity/the supernatural might be involved. But I don't think Henry would believe that.... yet.

Henry tells Nan he's going to slip into the bathroom for a second to finish changing.

He jokes that is of course unless Nan would prefer he not dress, in which case she can just say so and stop barging in on him.

>>68432
Laugh politely. Awkward situations are defeated by laughing about them.

>>68432
Tell him he'd better just dress in the room in case the lights go off again.

>>68432
Hey. Is there no outlet on the east wall in this room? That's odd. Usually, hotel rooms are all the same.

...Wait a tick. Did Nan have any other work orders for the hotel? What were the remaining work orders?

>>68435
He's already got his underwear on, right? Yeah, just tell him to get dressed out here.
No big deal. We'll just sit here and watch.

Look out of the room's peephole to see if the lights are back on yet. Become alarmed to see an eye on the opposite side, instead.

Nan feels a little embarrassed, but says she'd feel safer if he changed here.

He shrugs and agrees, but tells her this "the lights went out" excuse is going to get old pretty fast.

>>68440
Oggle. Oggle the hell out of him.
It's not getting old for us.

Well, he's gettin' dressed. Chit-chat and ask why he's in town.

>>68440
Might as well tell him that weirder things have been going on.

>>68440
...what species is he? -definitely doesn't play Animal Crossing-

I doubt we are at the 'smack you for making a dumb comment' part of the relationship, so I won't suggest that.

Henry pulls on his shirt and notices Nan ogling him.

He asks rhetorically if she's enjoying herself. Nan shrugs and laughs nervously as a response.

Henry wonders aloud if she's going to repay the favor sometime.

>>68446
Oh god the reflection didn't move.

>>68440
What color are his clothes?

>>68446
Oh god. Look at the mirror.

Henry frowns at Nan's response and assures her he was just kidding. There's no need to be like that.

>>68454
Fucking hell! Pick up something that looks like it belongs in the room and fucking THROW IT! Smashy smashy!

>>68454
Point at the mirror furiously whilst flipping out a bit.

>>68454
Point more enthusiastically at the mirror.

SPIT IT OUT girl, tell him there's something in the mirror!

Worst case scenario he looks and it disappears

>>68454
It's not going to be there when he turns around. Just try to ignore it.

Calm down, and remember why you're inside Henry's room: To get some help with figuring out what's going on in here. If Henry looks in the mirror, he's likely just to see himself, so telling him the mirror image stayed put won't be a good idea...He'll have no way of properly verifying it.

Hahhh
Nan has knocked out the power. The crackling electricity stops, and the room goes dark.
Hahhhhh
No lights streams in from the hallway, either.
Hahhhhhh
It is pitch black.
Hhhahhhhhhhh
Henry is breathing very heavily. Nan feels like she might hyperventilate, herself.

>>68467
f... flashlight

I should have been in bed hours ago, fuck. And I guess using the LAMP was probably a bad idea for that.

>>68463
Oh geeze.
Flashlight.
I think it's time to tell Henry about all of the weird shit happening around here.
I mean... He probably already thinks you're crazy after that.

Turn on your flashlight. Quickly. If that's just Henry breathing heavily, apologize for freaking him out.

Okay here's the plan. Get that lamp out of the sink so you can fix the power without it going out immediately. You should just be able to give the cord a quick yank then flee the room.

Next, get to the stairwell and see if you can get to the basement level.

A thin sliver of light appears in the blackness.

Run for the light. The light is salvation.

Nan shivers. The dream was palpable and terrifying. She's got cold sweats.

Nan's boyfriend sits up, startled, and asks her if she's all right. He says she's shaking, she must have had a very bad nightmare.

Oh, right behind your head. Riiight?

Check in the bathroom.
Check under the bed.
Check outside.

Is your boyfriend named Henry?

Check inventory for cross-shaped pendant.

Nan leans over her boyfriend and examines the cross-shaped pendant Henry got her as a present for her birthday.
