the girls followed.

(Writer's block?)

(yeah, a bit)

(Wanna come back to these later today, or...?)

(yeah, later today. ping me then cuz otherwise ill forget, plz)

(Okie.)

(Good morning.)

(hey!)

the group went to a room, which looked a bit like the inside of a submarine. there were two doors on the side, a wooden case in the corner which was locked, a control console, and more cool stuff. there was a keypad next to the door they entered from.

the staff member smiled. *arlight, few things. firstly, if you need to go to the restroom, go after i finish talking. second, you can open the exit door early, but only if you give up or theres an emergency. you can ask for clues, which ill answer via intercom. dont ask for too many, though. i may also give tips if you seem stuck. you need to find the code for the keypad there. once you get it right, the room will glow green, and youll have won. if you dont get it, a buzzer noise will sound. if you run out of time, the game will end and ill come and collect you. any questions?*

"Yes, how many times can we try to put in the code? Will it lock us out for a bit if we get it wrong?" Warren asked.

*no, it wont. now, dont go and try every single combo the code can have, because thats not fun.*
