The Case of the Closet
As you swim down one of the labyrinthine halls of the Elementary School, you see a Mer-kin monitor rounding the corner in front of you. He hasn't spotted you yet, but he's about to. Then he's going to smack you with a ruler, 'cause that's what he was born to do. You look around for somewhere to hide, and see the janitor's closet you got locked in earlier.
| Stand (float?) and fight |
You step up to the monitor and make the rudest gesture you can think of. Ironically, in the Mer-kin culture, that gesture means "I'll have the halibut on rye, hold the mayo." Still, the monitor is none too pleased to see you, incongruous food order or no, and decides the best monitor resolution for this altercation is to beat the stuffing out of you.

| Duck into the janitor's closet |
You duck into the janitor's closet. You see the usual accoutrements of any good janitor: bottles of foul-smelling, industrial-strength cleaner; bottles of foul-smelling, industrial-strength booze; and a bag full of sawdust. You never see a janitor working a table saw, but you always see them with bags of sawdust. Maybe they were trying to carry wooden cleaning implements and their pet termites in the same bag. Who knows?
Certainly not you, and certainly not me -- but that's not important right now. You grab the sawdust, since it's the only thing in the room that doesn't make you want to cut your nose off (take that, face!), and head back out.
