Action Elevator
You enter the apartment building, and it seems like almost all of the residents have popped off to the roof for a smoke break. It's weird... they do that at really strangely regular intervals...
Anyway, you make it to the elevator without being attacked by any pygmies. Where would you like to go?
| Go to the Thrice-Cursed Penthouse |
Without Thrice-Cursed:
- You reach for the button to go to the penthouse, but the elevator senses that you are insufficiently cursed, and doesn't allow you to push it.
With Thrice-Cursed: The door to the penthouse suite groans in protest as you push it open. The apartment interior is barely recognizable as having once been luxurious -- the crumbling plaster walls are criss-crossed with vines creeping in from the broken windows, and the ancient carpet has largely been replaced with moss and mushrooms.
A smoky, shadowy outline of a humanoid figure is lounging on the mouldering remains of a sofa. You guess it must be the ghost of an ancient high priest, given that his head is sort of in the shape of a tribal headdress. Unless those are wings? It's kind of hard to tell from the silhouette.
The figure stands, its eyes glowering at you with a baleful green light. It begins to chant in an ancient language you don't understand, finishing with a shout of "Bulbazinalli!". An extra-lush potted plant nearby explodes in a shower of crockery bits and mulch, and a mossy stone sphere rises into the air with the same bright green glow.
It's a pretty impressive scene, all in all. Fortunately, you aren't so entranced as to be surprised when the spirit lunges at you with its ghostly claws.

| Go down to the parking garage |
You take the elevator to the parking garage, and find it empty save for a windowless white van, a cinder block, a can of red paint, and a bunch of dirty garbage.
Thinking quickly, you paint a crude red cross on the side of the van, point it out the garage exit toward the park, put the cinder block on the gas pedal, and turn it loose.
You watch it crash into the central fountain, and hear a cacophony of chanting and bickering as a massive group of pygmy witch lawyers bursts out of the nearby office building and loudly converges on it.
| Exit through the gift shop |
Just kidding. What kind of apartment building has a gift shop? You exit through the front door.
Occurs at The Hidden Apartment Building
Notes
- Going to the parking garage banishes pygmy witch lawyers from the Office Building, but adds them to the Park.
