Whiteboard Adventures: Ch2: A Pirates Life!

[PowerDag]

--> examine gummy bears

[Ad Bot]

[plad101]

--> Punch the Thermostat

[Ladios]

--> Disconnect grapes from vine and use vine to fix the 1 armed clock. Set clock to 1:23. Ok, well while Green may indeed be quite dexterous, doing such a task without causing unneeded grape related shenanigans is a high order for someone whose usual tasks as far as we know consist of picking up and holding objects. Regaurdless, Green is definately up to the challenge and with a sure and steady hands approaches the purple globes. Careful.... careful... NOPE

Oh well, "there is no use crying over spilled grapes" as they say. I dunno who "they" is. To attempt to complete the task you... somehow stick the grape branch on the end of the hand? The hand doesn't seem to be moving on it's own so maybe if you turn the whole thing upside down you can balance the grape branch on the center pole. There that looks about 1:23, right?

Whelp... There they go. All over the place, just like I said. I warned you bro. I warned you about the grapes. But alas, it keeps happening...

This is a complete health and safety nightmare!

--> look at paper on floor by rug While it is never polite to go through mail of others, you feel it is probably pertinent to gather as many clues while you can before whatever danger is approaching does its whole approaching business. Which by this note is in about two weeks? From the Third? Too bad we have no way of knowing what day it is. The folks over at NASAL usually know more about the weird conspiracies going on; aliens, predators, weird sequels involving hybrids of the two, you know how it is in secret societies, they are all related man. Especially the hybrids. Anyways, while you are at it you might as well start tidying up a bit. Green offers a pocket for your disposal of the note, who knows, maybe you will be able to return it to it's rightful recipient. In order to keep OSHA off our back, Green also pockets a few of the grapes to reduce the tripping hazard. What a dutiful assistant! You make sure to leave a commendation in the report, maybe payroll can squeeze a few bucks for a holiday bonus. Good behavior should be rewarded, after all.

--> examine gummy bears The tasty transparent undulous ursians lay on the floor in their multitudinous of color and forms, a testament to trans-cultural-tolerancy. One of them even looks like a Koala, which happens to be a marsupial, more closely related to a wombat. The bears don't care: you don't have to be a bear in blood to be a bear in spirit. Or something. No doubt they have long past the thirty second rule, as they have been in the room from before you even started this adventure. The orange one looks like it could be waving at you. Or gesturing. It can be hard to tell with bears.

--> Punch the Thermostat You must be confused. This is no mere Thermostat! This an official Whatevertheforgetitwascalleda gain TM Brand Temperature Regulator And Control Aparatus. There exists no finer solution for those who may seek temperature regulation and control! You think you can simply solve problems by defacing it? It is unlikely any blow could cause even the slightest scratch! Well I guess it is broken already, so something must have been able to break it. Oh well, it is probably better if you didn't break it further.

Things are starting to heat up in here already... literally...

[Legodude77]

--> Pry off the vent and crawl through.

[Electrk.]

--> Take penguin and The Fish with you.

[Ladios]

--> Pry off the vent and crawl through. With little effort, the grill falls away, it had been placed on loosely, as if someone had been through here before... Or it is just another maintenance issue. You better be glad the people from corporate are too busy to worry about employee safety right now. The shaft extends about a foot into the wall and then branches immediately left and right, the right shaft ascending after a half a foot or so, the left extending into darkness. You can feel a slightly warm stale breeze wafting in from the tunnel on the right, however it actually feels pleasant relative to the stuffy flat heat of the room. Whatever is causing the room to heat up isn't through here. You notice curiously that there is sand in the vents on the right and towards the left some considerable degree of condensation. Unfortunately the small size of the vent makes it impossible for you or your Green friend to wiggle their way in.

--> Take penguin and The Fish with you.

The penguin would be happy to oblige if only you had the ability to ask in a manner it could understand. Unfortunately dialectic barriers prevent such communication.

Besides that, the penguin is a bit obese. Don't mention anything though, penguins can be sensitive about their weight.
It's not their fault, they usually need all the blubber to handle the cold. It's kind of useless at the present however.

The Fish takes up the duty of venturing forth and embarks on it's quest in a most dignified manner.
Look how gracefully it deposits mucous onto the surface in front of it.
Watch how it so tactfully manipulates the surface to reduce viscosity in front of its beautiful pseudopod then so gingerly does the mucous embrace the Fish in return, and when let to rest, the mucous then glues down the Fish whom may suspend from this glue on even an inverted surface until it is ready to begin it's next step...

This is taking a while, maybe there is something else you can do in the mean time?

>Sautee fish in oil and herbs and then proceed to eat fish because you are very stereotypically French.

[Legodude77]

--> Pick up the stool.

[Ladios]

--> open door The door opens and you are immediately greeted with the scent of salty sea air and a serenely shifting starry sight as the lights dance about the waves in delicate manner. It seems the movement of the stars is greatly exaggerated however, and you watch a single star move through the sky several degrees over the few seconds you are focusing on it. This is clearly insufficient for navigation, so you still have no idea where exactly you are. The surface outside is wooden, and the fanciful hand railing is painted. It looks almost like the side of a ship. It probably is the side of a ship, given how wobbly everything feels outside. Aside from the sounds of the ship and the waves, you cannot hear any birds and there air is completely motionless. No sense of direction, no method of propulsion. As far as boats go, things couldn't get any worse.

--> examine crack in wall Or perhaps we spoke too soon yes? The last thing you need on a motionless directionless boat is a leak, and it looks like you've got a mighty large one here. Not only that, but this crack is growing right before your very eyes, and there is really no indication of how much more the wall can take of whatever pressure buildup is occurring behind it. Water damage is a serious issue in construction, and can lead to complications including rot, mold and even worse, it opens us up to litigation. If a customer slipped on that puddle we'd lose our business in a heartbeat!

--> check today's date on the calendar You peer at the Festive Calendar. This month's theme is heartday month. Every February 14th, The Trans-Dimensional Elephant of Hearts graces the world with his bountiful buckets of human hearts. Flying around the world on wings of velvet, the Elephant bestows a beating heart upon each well behaved 30-something year old and everyone named Ted. It is a centuries-old tradition with origins dating back to Easter Island. Those statues are of the elephant, they mixed up the name in the translation of the island when they thought Jacob Roggeveen was asking what day it was. It was supposed to be Valentines Island, named after the eventual sainthood name of the Elephant. That was 3 days ago. What a party we had. Man that one dude. What funny a guy. You remember him right? Oh didn't you go? You weren't invited? Oh sorry... don't feel bad, I'm sure your invitation just got mixed up in the mail.

-->Sautee fish in oil and herbs and then proceed to eat fish

Our intrepid little adventurer is well underway on a grand quest and has quite a lead on us, there is no way we can catch up to it now!

--> Pick up the stool.

You are now holding a(n): Stool

[TristanLuigi]

Penguins can swim!
> position your hand with the goal of having your index finger align in a vertex that is directed to the exterior of the maritime travelling structure and wave your arms haphazardly in a psuedo-swimming position and then rotate your head slightly and inquisitively so as to signal to the non-aerial member of the biological class Aves.

that is,
> point out the door, flap your arms like you're a swimming penguin, and rooster your head as if to ask "please?"

Perhaps we can see if there's any land nearby? Oh, and if he agrees, you'd better
> unfasten dual-triangularly shaped cutting of linen placed upon the non-aerial member of the biological class Aves so said linen does not absorb unnecessary quantities of dihydrogen monoxide

or rather,
> take off his bowtie so it doesn't get wet.

-->position your hand with the goal of having your index finger align in a vertex that is directed to the exterior of the maritime travelling structure and wave your arms haphazardly in a psuedo-swimming position and then rotate your head slightly and inquisitively so as to signal to the non-aerial member of the biological class Aves. You point the Stool out the door of the boat and then begin to flail it about dangerously until it inadvertently becomes disloged from your hand and exits stage left. You then tilt your head in order to signal that this was directed at the penguin.

-->point out the door, flap your arms like you're a swimming penguin, and rooster your head as if to ask "please?" You point at the door, flail your arms a second time and then tilt your head. The penguin is concerned that the stress of the current situation has gotten to you and you might be in need of immediate psychiatric help. It doesn't say this, however. It just looks kinda... worried of sorts.

	-->unfasten dual-triangularly shaped cutting of linen placed upon the non-aerial member of the biological class Aves so said linen does not absorb unnecessary quantities of dihydrogen monoxide Dispite the fact that it was already stated to be a silk tie, you remove the fashionable garment from the penguin to prevent water damage.
	-->take off his bowtie so it doesn't get wet. There is no one here currently wearing a bow-tie.

[WaterOre]

-->put on the bow tie

[Electrk.]

--> bravely exit door while trying to remember name
