CAR WASH

AT THE CAR WASH, WOAH

The door leading into the car wash is locked. You all know that, of course. You've likely tried it yourself, or watched someone make a fool out of themselves trying to break in. (Man, this is going to age poorly if you've all decided to surprise us and just leave the locked door alone.)

But today... well, call it a feeling. A gut instinct, maybe, that leads you to the doorway. This time, you put your hand on the doorknob - and it turns fully, the door swinging open so that you can enter. As you draw your hand back, you'll spot a bloody handprint on the knob - but then you blink, and it's gone.

The inside of the car wash is rather industrial looking, albeit mostly powered down. The lights are dim to begin with, and flicker ominously from time to time; occasionally, they even go out entirely, and it may be several minutes or several hours before they come back on. None of the machinery seems to be working, though there's a faint electronic hum coming from a shelf built into the wall, upon which a radio sits. Strangely, no matter how tall you are or how you conspire to stack things up and climb up to get it, it always seems to be just out of reach - there won't be any changing the channel for you.

It's hard to tell what you're meant to do here, now that you've gotten in. But since you couldn't get in until now, there must be some reason... right?

...only time will tell.

Nuwa...

[ he relaxes just a touch. ]

This place hasn't really opened up until recent... but not sure what to really make of it.

[saclayfice]

Indeed. I'd be more concerned about that instinctual feeling, though. That sensation of knowing coming in here is possible now.

[hira]

Could have sworn I saw a bloody handprint on the knob, too.

Maybe a trick of the light. [ maybe he's just tired maybe it's maybelline. ]

[saclayfice]

Ahahaha...given everything that has happened in this truck stop, I would take what you saw as the absolute truth.

[Maybe once they figure out this is the Murderer Cave they'll understand what that bloody handprint maybe means]

[hira]

What a headache.

[ this just adds a whole new piece to this damnable puzzle and it still doesn't make any sense. the rats. the car wash. the murders. people's obsessions with pyromania.

he's gonna just. give the place a walk around? study the walls? idk!!! ]
