297 - Examine ROOM


Oh, yeah, you totally forgot to look around when you came in. The inside of the PORT AUTHORITY is, at its most basic level, a large open room with a whole bunch of FILING CABINETS lining the wall. Most of them appear unremarkable, but two things catch your eye. One DRAWER is labeled "DOILIES" and the CABINET next to it is red, behind a RED VELVET ROPE, and seems to have locking mechanisms (otherwise known as LOCKS). A stack of ORANGE TRAFFIC CONES sits between the CABINETS and the DOOR. They're close enough to touch. So you touch them. (They feel cold and lonely.)

On the WALL is a sweet HIGH-DEFINITION TELEVISION, a BRACE OF PISTOLS, a MUSKET, and several WATER STAINS. On top of the CABINETS sit a TELEVISION REMOTE, a DOILY, four BOTTLES OF WINE and THREE WINE GLASSES.

There are a number of PEOPLE in the room. Immediately recognizable from his picture is CAPTAIN MANBREATH THREEPLANK, a rather dashing fellow. Three of his CREW stand beside him, one carrying a LARGE CHEST while another, having turned around, eyes you warily. You wave and smile pleasantly. It's not like you have anything against PIRATES, after all. Across the room stands a somewhat perturbed BUREAUCRAT and a distraught BUREAUCRAT'S SON. His little tears... so sad....

Oh, and against the far WALL, just out of frame, is a really super detailed MAP of what appears to be the entire WORLD. Funny, it looks a bit different than you remember....

Examine the MAP on the FAR WALL.

Water stains bode ill. They indicate previous flooding and potential current dry rot. Though, falling damp is an equal possibility. Yech.
