You head to the Workshop. It's a large, fancy workshop with plenty of supplies for basic building and repairing. Though it doesn't have anything specialized, the workbench in the back is all set up with several tools already laid out on it. Seems whoever was here last was doing some woodworking.
Hrmph... It's- it's even worse than I thought, Gadd's employing assistance from the undead to help him run the Grand Experiment! That is, assuming they haven't eaten him and taken over already. Sloppy operation, either way. It's a good thing I'm here to keep things in line! I can only hope for our sakes that my current supplies are adequate. Perhaps a visit to the Workshop is in order, posthaste.
You see Lulu leaving the Study, as you head in to study it. As discussed, it's full of books about the various museum exhibits. Fascinating.
Heh, it's like I never left. Yep, this sure brings back memories. Seems my favourite room isn't on this floor, though, so I'll be hangin' around in the Study for now.
its very nice to properly meet you miss Mona, I will say you are a stickler for the rules when it comes to ghostly happenings, infact I havent heard someone use that many Subsections in quite sometime, perhaps you would even give the MMCA a run for there money! Might I enquire as to more about you?Section 47a Subsection 57 Paragraph THREE of the Ghost Complex Emergency Handbook specifies when encountering an unexpected body as part of regular experiments, to alert a superior immediately, and then drink at least eight glasses of water a day to alleviate symptoms of shock.
Are any of you feeling clammy? Disoriented? How many fingers am I holding up? Ten? Well, at least ghost form has fingers...
One second. Please vacate the area while I manage this. PLEASE STEP BACK FROM THE BODY. Thank you for your co-operation.
[The nervous ghost floats over to the body, and with one simple swoop, enters it with a burst of light. The young woman's body recovers from its injuries entirely, and its owner stands with a bit of a shaky rise.]
Ah! Cramps... cramps...
Section 35c Subsection 72.5 Paragraph ONE of the Ghost Complex Emergency Handbook dictates that all patrons of the complex experiencing an out-of-body experience as a result of unintended death or ingestation of nachos topped with ghost peppers must calmly and orderly make their way back to their bodies. Decomposition will not set in while the Dark Moon lays overhead, and spiritual detatchment (i.e. unintentional death) is nigh impossible under its protective light, but you might feel a bit tight afterward.
Gaddzy might think safety is optional when death is impossible in the Valley, but he's a walking testimony that you must put your health and safety, and the safety of others above all. Have you seen the state of that man? And his finances?! My good stars! It's like he never read this handbook at all.
The name's Mona Warnewicke. Section 1b Subsection 123 Paragraphs 5 to 39 indicate lengthy introductions are key to establishing positive rapports between strangers in the complex. As your Chief Safety Officer and Elemental Expert, you can approach me if you encounter any hazards or occupational risks that may endanger you during your time here. Regardless of that shiny safety net in the sky, we want EVERYONE to make it home in one piece following this year's experiment. We're running this one by the book, even if Gaddzy's disappearance has forced me to enact improvisational protocols strictly guidelined under the chapter Improvisations in the handbook.
Right now... I was just examining the hole that unexpectedly opened up in the second floor hallway before your arrival. As you can see, it's not a pleasant fall! The integrity of the upper floors of the building is frequently compromised by one excessively large tree. The building codes this place violates alone would be enough to fill a library. Please utilise the provided handguards and wooden boardwalks to traverse the upper areas of the complex.
Any questions regarding the elements or general working conditions AND SAFETY while you conduct experiments here, please direct them to yours truly.
I look forward to seeing you all around!
You bolt straight past the whatever the hell going on outside the study, as it's certainly not a mystery anymore, and head upstairs to the Kitchen. It's a modestly sized kitchen classically outfitted with a sink, a stove/oven, and a fridge/freezer combo. A strange-looking dumbwaiter connects it to the Dining Room nearby. It seems there's not much food in here besides pantry essentials: flour, sugar, eggs, etc. A bowl of glowing fruit is on the bench.
Oh, you already know I'm headed straight for the Kitchen. There ain't no place like it.
You approach the end of the hallway next to the 2F Topaz Wing, the mysteriously named ???. Mona chimes in.
You enter the Kiln (room), a room with a large firing kiln, though it's not big enough to fit a person inside. Mona shakes her head when she sees you check the size of the firing oven, as if to say very softly, "please don't try to get in there". There's also plenty of clay and modeling supplies, as well as various unglazed earthenware and pots, and lastly, a throwing wheel, which appears to be spinning by itself. All of these supplies mean you could probably make something overnight if you wished.
