>>5957772>>5957841>>5957849>>5957897>"W-Wait Storkie, I just remembered!">"Eh?">"Remember that weird homeless guy that explained to us how Orbs work? He said something about green Orbs being used for healing, right? Something like that?">"Oh yeeeah..."You had completely forgotten about that until just now, since you've never really seen one be used like that, but that is definitely worth a shot. The only problem is, where will you get one? You have no idea where people even get the stuff, and even if you knew, the "Orb Shop" or whatever the hell it's called is definitely closed at this hour.
>"...The lab..."You remember your visit to the Tower's laboratory. They were using a bunch of green Orbs to power up their little machine thing, right? Surely if you just grabbed one of them it wouldn't be an issue.
>"I'll go snatch one up real quick, be right back.">"W-Wait! Are you sure you should do that? What if they're busy or something and you bother them by showing up unannounced?! I know you like being straight to the point Storkie, but I REALLY don't want them getting mad at us and kicking us out of the tower...">"Tch... Yeah, I guess you're sorta right. Fine, I'll pretend to be all nice and polite, just this once...">"Yay! That's the spirit!"You'd much rather not go through all this trouble, but you'll do anything for a chance to get out of this place and back to your normal, peaceful life...
You enter the elevator and press the lab floor's button. In a flash it lifts you up all the way to the top of the Tower. As the doors open, you realise that no one is sitting around at the entrance. Perfect, maybe you can just sneak in, grab the Orb, and leave without anyone even knowing!
As silently tip toe your way through the lab's hallway, you hear a bunch of people, presumably scientists, talking about something or other in the room right next to the experiment's room. Crap, looks like you'll need to sneak around some peeps after all. Not a problem though, you're a master at not getting noticed, spent all of high school mastering the craft! ...Though maybe you should use your "dice+1d20" thingie... just to make sure... Unless that also fucks you up by rolling low enough. Crap indeed. Maybe you should actually try to be polite for once? You never know, maybe the good old "scientists are evil psycho jerks" cliche isn't actually all that accurate. If anything else fails, there IS a large cabinet full of sciency containers, unknown samples and shiny stones, you can always just hide in there until they eventually leave... They will leave at some point, right?
