There appears to be only just a number.888028308534-7355
Let's try the calling the number from the yellow page, take out the zeros to make phone number: (888) 283-8534
-
The thought passes through your mind that the obfuscation you performed on that number, may be a little too little to stump your average idiot, but then you could have sworn the secretary was drooling a little when you could make out anything at all. Then again, you did make reddit your homepage.
No chance anyone here would guess it. ... ?
You dial the number.
"Papa Don's pizza, where we make offers you can't refuse!!! What would you like to order?"
-
"I'd like a 7355, please."
-
The phone begins to make a few unusual clicks and begins to dial again...
As you wait, you can't help but notice the smell of urine becomes stronger...
You hear a click on the phone.
"Are you on the top floor?"
-
"Yes, I am."
-
"Quick, I'm impressed."
"Do you see the server?"
-
Quick look around before answering... Where do those cables from the ceiling go?
-
You examine the ceiling and determine that if it was ever apparent where any of the cables used to go, they certainly weren't to anything qualified to safely support a server.
Today however, all you see are marred cable endings, drooping down from holes in the tiles.
It appears as if anything they were connected to, was removed in a hurry.
The voice in the phone continues:
"Do not call back until you find the server. We cannot risk further contact". Phone clicks.

Go to 5th floor via elevator
-
OOC: Have we put our pants back into normal working order yet, or is our hero wandering around either pantless or with body parts hanging out the fly?
-
OOC: Have we put our pants back into normal working order yet, or is our hero wandering around either pantless or with body parts hanging out the fly?
OOC: I don't think we've established yet that his body parts were actually hanging out at the time he was peeing.
-
Examine pants
-
-
OOC: Or had a VERY strong stream, one capable of penetrating zipped pants.
-
OOC: Or were wearing a skirt.

Inside the elevator are several buttons similar to the one outside, however these buttons have numbers next to them.
5 6
3 4
L 2Above the numbered buttons is a card slot and an additional button.
I told pizza guy we were on top floor, but looking back, the additional button might take us higher. Probably need access card.
-
climb on desk
can we reach the ceiling?
-
You roll a charisma score and it lands on a 20.
Not only do you zip up, but a window washer sees you in the process and they are hit with love-potion effect....
No...
But you do zip up.
-
remove window from pee
-
-
You do not see an elevator in this room, and the door is still locked behind you.
-
You climb up on the desk, from here the cables are just within reach, as well as other things that are typically found on ceilings. As you reach for a cable, you feel a sudden sting. It appears that there is a very low current running through these wires.
-
As you reach for a cable, you feel a sudden sting.
Is there a hornets' nest up there? If so, getting out of that room right now will be the single most important thing on your mind.

REMOVE CEILING TILE, INVESTIGATE SPACE ABOVE FALSE CEILING
<a

-
OOC: I have a feeling this story is about to veer in a NSFW direction.
-
"Papa Don's pizza, where we make offers you can't refuse!!! What would you like to order?"
This should really be a thing (but they'd probably get sued).
-
OOC: I have a feeling this story is about to veer in a NSFW direction.
I'm surprised it hasn't already.
-
Well, we did sorta pee on a window.

Well, we did sorta pee on a window.
I thought about writing "veer into NSFW territory," but I figured we were already there, so I went with "direction" that would take us even
deeperfurther into NSFW territory.
-
You remove the tiles and you look around above the space.
From your angle below, you can see about two full tiles of space above the tiles.
Cables go in all directions, but don't seem to lead to anything, other than the mangled ends that fall below the tiles of the ceiling.
You spot a sprinkler that you can pull down from inside, as well as a small screwdriver that is about a tile over.
-
> take screwdriver equip in weapon slot 1
-
You grab the screwdriver, but not in the usual way of handling one, but spin it around in your hand facing backwards.
In your head a song beats out to a particular pop rhythm and you think "I got ninja style".
.... ooooohhhhhh.....
And, now you got the song stuck in your head.
You gain + or - 3 charisma, depending on how many times the listener has already heard the song.
-
remove door with screwdriver
That is, if the door isn't magnetically locked.
-
You don't see any screw holes anywhere on the door,
Then you realize that the hinge is inside the frame. With the door closed, you don't have access to it.
-
OOC: I have a feeling this story is about to veer in a NSFW direction.
OOC: Well, we've established that our hero is probably male, and we've also established that he is now in possession of a screwdriver...
-
Pull down sprinkler
What's the worst that can happen?
-
OOC: I really don't want to know why that warning was thought to be necessary.
-
A little worried that you might have the urge to pee again just fiddling with something associated with water, and that the spot over there is starting to melt the carpet, you decide that the risk is less than certain death of starvation or something...
You grab on the sprinkler and pull it down through the hole in the ceiling.
-
look ceiling
-
Nothing but a bunch of tiles in a grid pattern.
And a few wires and a sprinkler dangling precariously in front of you. A few more wires dangle in the distance, but outside of reach, considering that you have to be on the desk, and the desk doesn't cover the whole room.
-
Attach wires to sprinkler
What's the worst that could happen?
-
As you move the wires near each other, sparks begin to shoot out between the ends of the wire.
You wrap the wires around the sprinkler, and the sparks continue to jump between the wires.
And I just shortened my life expectancy you think.
-
OOC: For some reason I thought he was here for a job interview. If so, I don't think he's getting the job. And this would also make a very interesting and bizarre "Tales from the Interview" entry
-
Use screwdriver to take desk to pieces
-
OOC: I was going to do this, but I wasn't sure how useful it would be
-
You look for anything to disassemble, but all you can manage to take off is the top shelves from the tall end of the desk. The rest of the desk is either screwed too tight, or stripped, or put together with those screws that have the hex shaped holes.
Inventory gains a few pieces of wood and that compressed "wood" used for the back of the desk because furniture companies like to save a little money.
