Sei does her best to power out the rest of her business, wipe up, get her pants back on, and then RUN out of the bathroom.

Sei: "Yo! You there! What did she find? In what building was it?"
Female, Eyes: Blue, Hair: Blonde, Skin: Light, Body: Muscular, Height: Very Tall

No one else in the hallway.

Damn, the girls are gone.

Erik: "Oh okay, do you already have a rough idea of what it's going to look like?"

Amelia: ”We have a total of about 1300 servings from all of our materials, with a material cost of 8028 gold. If we sell each serving for 100 gold, our net profit will be around 121900 gold. A nice chunk of change for the club. Right now our bottleneck is how fast we can bake. Only 32 servings done so far, though between the three of us with two baking trays each, we can get that up to 96 servings per bake. Would require dividing the baking materials among us. Or could just bake multiple times in one person’s house. Fewer logistics to manage.

As for sales - I think optimal locations would be near the entrance to the neighborhood, and in front of the school.”

Phillip heads to the EMS meeting room, where he sees Rhea and Rana.

Rhea seems to be explaining drawings on the board while Rana watches from a front-row desk.

Rhea: ”Ah, you’re here too! We’re reviewing items for our Kung Fu course!”

Glancing at the board, you see a variety of striking moves, blocks, and stances.

Sei washes her hands and puts her skirt back on.

Bolting outside, she runs to the abandoned buildings located some distance away - behind the school and across two roads.

Quickly checking the front door of the closest one, Sei finds it unlocked and heads in.

It’s an old schoolhouse. Dusty, but otherwise in good condition.

Opening the office door and looking in, there’s not a single piece of furniture. No items, only an occasional insect here and there.

The classrooms are all the same - barren, without any sign of an Item.

Utility closets are empty as well, along with the boy’s bathroom.

Opening the door to the girl’s bathroom, a powerful, rotting scent hits Sei.

While the hallways are lit with sunlight streaming through the windows, the bathroom seems ominously dark.

Langley takes a nap, enjoying the warm sun and cool breeze.

Isaac stuffs the paper into his pocket and leaves the classroom, walking over to a stairwell and climbing up to the fourth floor.

It looks, pretty close to the second floor - two wings of classrooms, and rooms located overtop the gym/cafeteria on the first floor.

None of the classrooms are locked, and the only non-classroom door is locked is unmarked. A simple, windowless door.

Sei lowers the hinged doorstop at the base of the bathroom door and then cautiously enters.

The smell is almost unbearable - putrid and rotting, like ♥♥♥♥ and meat thrown in a blender and left to sit for several weeks. The sound of swarms of flies buzzing is audible.

The floors appear fairly clean, until she looks at the floor in the stalls. The stall furthest to the back has a dark puddle, large enough that it seeps past its walls for several feet.

None of the stall doors are open - Sei would have to walk over and open the door to see what’s inside.


________________________________________



Isaac checks the only adjacent room, which only has a few chairs and a table. No door leading to the locked room.

The adjacent room does have a window, though. That means the locked room should have a window as well.

Sei looks at the stalls - five total. The second stall away from her seems to be clean, so she enters it, steps on the toilet, and peers over the wall.

From her position, she can’t see into the dark, ominous fifth stall. She can, however, see that there seems to be a plank of wood resting across the top of the fifth stall’s door and wall. A bulge in the center of the plank makes it look like there’s a rope tied there.

Isaac inspects the window. It’s full-sized, and can be unlocked with a lever from the inside. Pulling the lever and lifting the window up, Isaac sticks his head out and looks to the side - the locked room does indeed have a window.

Looking up, he sees the simple flat edge of the roof and a handrail. Must be roof access somewhere.
