The time limit is a bit shorter than usual, you doubt there's rhyme or reason to it, the Shadow definitely isn't a talker...
<insultt>You suck.
>"Sir...?"
<statement>Not you, that.
You gesture to the Shadow, and JJ nods.
>"Oh, that makes a lot more sense."
You enter into the Pizzeria through the ruined Kitchen Window and Door. It'd be great not to have your Pizzeria full open to the Wood one day.
Maybe with an Expansion? It's a good dream at least.
<statement>Same mission as last night, find the sparkles.
>"Oh-okay? So just grab them or...?"
<statement>No, do not touch them, they may explode or fill you with ghosts or something.
>"... Ha ha, okay then-"
<statement>If you see them, make us aware, the Shadow will consume them.
>"So should I follow you or...?"
<statement>If you can check the Pantry, we'll check the Bathroom.
>"... That Pantry?"
She points seven feet away to the Pantry at the back of the Kitchen.
<statement>Yes, if it's empty, keep a look-
>"It's not in there."
JJ had already opened the Pantry, showcasing the expected darkness.
>"Should I follow you then or do you want me to keep an eye outside?"
<statement>Check the Party Room and hold the fort, the Bathroom still needs checking.
>"Yes, sir!"
Giving a small salute, she stands by the Kitchen Door-arch, and--
>BLLRRRRR--RRRRGGHH
Acid splashes into the floor as you get a look at the very beginning of the Vacuum's vomiting. Smoke rises from the acidic burns.
...
<statement>I won't leave you alone for long.
You pat the hat of your wooden assistant, and move around the splattering black mess into the Restroom. You gaze around the dusty walls to the sink and...
... Nothing.
Just the usual gross, but not lethal toilet.
...
Something feels... Wrong.
...
Something definitely feels wrong about the Bathroom. But you cannot put a finger on why.
<statement, followed by request>The Restroom is empty, JJ, could you come here?
>"And leave the acid pit? With relish, Sir!"
JJ does the closest you've seen to her sprinting as she enters the Restroom. Keeping to the corner given the tiny size of the room, you ask her.
<inquiry>Does... anything feel strange in here?
>"Aside from two robots looking for magic powder in a Bathroom, no."
<statement>Okay, no need for the sass.
...
<statement>You're technically correct though.
She seems earnest. Why the Hell does it feel so weird in here...?
