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.

Sora...

[don't make him murder his best frIEND AAA]

Yeah, but--what does that mean? What does being here together... alive and dead mean?

[fionafancypants]

Sora-- You didn't accidentally kill the tall guy? If anything, the car killed Sora.

[well,]

That I don't really know yet! But I think we're trying to figure it out. It seems like the dead people can't remember what it's like outside this room. Can you?

[humblepie]

[Car. He hates this.]

I... don't think so. He wanted me to play the game with him, but once we got on, we couldn't get off.

[He's quiet a moment, and then he shakes his head.]

There... was... a rat? I... don't remember.

[fionafancypants]

The Rat Overlord?!

[that's what it was right. Also does he still have the rat ears.]

[humblepie]

You mean... the one that attacked me and Sora? I don't... think it was like that one. It was something else, but... all I remember is it was a rat.

[I FORGOT ABOUT THE EARS, yeah he still has the ear headband on.]

[fionafancypants]

Huh. Okay-- So, we'll keep looking for a rat then.

[ratte.........]

This is all really good though! You know, with you here, and now we know that we can get people back and they aren't that far away. So we'll definitely make sure you see Sora again, alright?

[humblepie]

[beta rat....?]

If the rat has anything to do with what's happening, it'll pay.

[It's not a mouse like Mickey, so it's fine.]

Thanks... I know he'll keep going, but... I'd like to get him back as soon as I can.
