Bryce 11df54bc26 Analyze Loom: Add sensory-exploitation examples (tower stealth via Invisibility, Terror on shepherds), multi-character-coordination single-character substitution variant (Forge entry via Reflection), strengthen observation-replay and pattern-learning documentation with detailed Loom draft systems 
Puzzle types documented for Loom:
- Sensory Exploitation: Tower workers' visual perception exploited via Invisibility draft; Shepherds' fear exploited via Terror draft
- Multi-Character Coordination: Forge Entry via Reflection as single-character identity substitution workaround
- Observation Replay (existing): Full draft sequence memorization system with randomized melodic content
- Pattern Learning/Knowledge Transfer (existing): Draft reversal system and mechanical grammar application

First let us mark the card, as Manny said he wanted to do, there is a hole puncher there in Eva's desk.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif01f79.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: It's a hole punch.
<br> Mind if I use your hole punch?
<br>
<br>Eva: Knock yourself out.
<br>
<br> Manny, what are you doing?
<br>
<br>Manny: Just marking cards, honey.
</i><br><br>
Let us see what Eva has to say about the stuff we have:<br />
The Memo:
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/086b6.PNG"></p>
The deck of cards:
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/09507.PNG"></p>
The marked card:<br />
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/10975.PNG"></p>
Aww, I wanted to see tricks <img src="/LetsPlay/Smilies/frown.gif" border="0" alt=""><br />
<br />
Let us see what else there is here:
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif022f9.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: That's the express elevator down to the garage.
<br> That's the elevator to the lobby.
Let us go down to the lobby
</i><br><br>
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif03364.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Let's see... where am I on this... Don Copal, Domino Hurley...
<br> Junior sales associates? That better not be me!
<br> Ah, the old head of the department.
<br> Way before my time.
<br> I heard he was a total slave-driver.
<br> Good afternoon.
</i><br><br>
The right part of the lobby and the doors:
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif04a14.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Now this guy...
<br> I don't know who this guy is.
<br> I think he just paid for the lobby renovation.
<br> How's it hanging?
<br> Not that I have a choice, but I wonder if I'd be happier working on a ship.
<br> Then again, I'm so competitive, I wouldn't be able to relax until I was captain.
<br> That's the door to the packing room.
<br> It's locked.
<br> That's the door to the communications room.
<br> It's locked.
</i><br><br>
Nice foreshadowing there, as you will see later. Since we cannot go to those rooms, let us go outside.<br />
<br />
Outside:
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif05743.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: That's the door to the streets of El Marrow.
<br> I remember the year they built that...
<br> Mostly because it cost so much we didn't get bonuses that year.
<br> NO PARKING. Client car pick-up only.
<br> The Petrified Forest, Rubacava...
<br> Not really that far away, but to me they might as well be on the other side of the world.
<br> I'm not walking on the freeway!
<br> I shouldn't even be STANDING here...
</i><br><br>
What, it is not like he was going to die if a car hits him. And anyways, there are no cars around, being the day of the dead and everybody partying, as you will see in the next gif.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif062d5.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: It's the festival of the Day of the Dead.
<br> Really more of a living person's holiday, but we play along.
</i><br><br>
Let us see what is going on in the festival!:
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif07092.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: The Bread of the Dead.
<br> Since I really didn't get to celebrate the festival this year, I think I'm entitled to a little Pan de Muertos.
<br> I'd get crumbs all over.
<br> Shoo!
<br> I don't have a net, or a desire to have a pet pigeon.
<br> Those crates are completely blocking the sidewalk.
<br> What if there were a fire?
<br> Looks like some sort of crafty mime.
</i><br><br>
Damn, we cannot proceed, it is blocked by many tents. But ooh, bread of the dead!<br />
That looks more like french bread than ANY sort of Bread of the dead I've seen. They are much smaller and roundish, and frosted with sugar. Strong orange taste too. Damnit, now I want a piece.<br />
Nice foreshadowing about the pigeons too. Heh.<br />
<br />
Meet the balloon twisting clown, rude and obnoxious. Or at least he seems rude and obnoxious to me. Gif, then dialogue.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/gif08b29.gif"></p>
Manny: Practicing what?<br />
Clown: Wringing your neck! What does it look like?<br />
<br />
Manny: Can I walk through your tent? I want to see the parade.<br />
Clown: Well, walk through someone else's tent, all right? do I look like a turnstile to you?<br />
<br />
Manny: Some festival, eh?<br />
Clown: Yeah, yeah, pretty busy.<br />
My carpal tunnel syndrome is really acting up.<br />
Manny: But you don't have any... tendons.<br />
Clown: Yeah, well, you don't have a tongue, but that doesn't seem to shut you up, now does it?<br />
<br />
Manny: Could you teach me how to do that?<br />
Clown: Well, um, since you're a begginer, why don't you practice the first step?<br />
Manny: Which is?<br />
Clown: Blow!<br />
<br />
Manny: BANG!<br />
Clown: *balloon pops) Aaah! Popped another one!<br />
Lousy bony fingers! *Clown produces another blown balloon*<br />
<br />
Manny: Twist me up one of them, eh, fella?<br />
Clown: yeah yeah yeah, twist this, all right?
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/56c2f.PNG"></p>
Manny: Bet ya can't do a cat.<br />
Clown: Shows what you know, buddy.<br />
I can do anything.<br />
I can do birds, amphibians, famous poets--Go ahead. Name one.<br />
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/57db9.PNG"></p>
Manny: Robert Frost.<br />
Clown: Trying to stump me, eh?<br />
*clown twists and produces a twisted balloon*<br />
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/58904.PNG"></p>
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/59194.PNG"></p>
Manny: I have to go, that sound makes me want to kill somebody.<br />
Clown: You too?<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are the other balloon animals: <br />
Dead Worm.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/606a2.PNG"></p>
Dingo
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%203/61516.PNG"></p>

<A HREF="/LetsPlay/Grim/">^^ Index</A><br>
<br><br><br>
This is the Garage. It has cars in it. And demons. Let us explore.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/01ca6.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Can't go through on foot.
<br>People have tried, but they never came back.
<br>There are lights for "Wash", "Rinse", "Wax"...
<br>...and "Land of the Living" depending on your destination.
<br>The driver-demons operate this somehow, and the company won't tell us salesmen how it works.
<br>Gotta keep us down somehow.
</i><br><br>
Hm, so the Salesmen and Reapers CANNOT go to the land of the living by themselves. Interesting.<br />
<br />
<br />
The cars!
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/02b17.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Here's what I need--wheels!
<br>Oooh, I MIGHT get hurt if I try to get one down by myself...
</i><br><br>
What, it's not like it is going to kill you... Again.<br />
<br />
Heey, a tool cabinet.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/03b8a.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: It's a tool cabinet.
<br>It's locked.
<br>
<br>Other: Hey! Who the--
<br>Who's messing with my stuff?
<br>Oh, heh, sorry, sir! I didn't expect...
<br>Sales agents usually don't come over to this part of the garage...
</i><br><br>
OH GOD SOMETHING IS COMING OUT OF THERE.<br />
<br />
It is Glottis. Meet Glottis.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/0187ae.PNG"></p>
Manny: Hey, you a driver?<br />
<br />
Glottis: Me?<br />
Hah!<br />
No.<br />
No no no.<br />
I don't drive em', just wrench em'.<br />
<br />
Manny: I'm Calavera. Manny Calavera.<br />
<br />
Glottis: My name is Glottis.<br />
I don't get many visitors--Hey! I got a message for a Mr. Calavera...<br />
Uh...<br />
Your driver said...<br />
... that Mr. Hurley said...<br />
that he could have the rest of the day off.<br />
<br />
Manny: Domino sent my driver home?<br />
<br />
Glottis: Yeah, wasn't that nice?<br />
<br />
Manny: Nice hut.<br />
<br />
Glottis: Yeah, I wonder how nice it would seem to you if you were TRAPPED in it all day like me.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/019a40.PNG"></p>
Manny: If you hate your job, why don't you quit?<br />
<br />
Glottis: It's not just a job, it's what I was created to do.<br />
If I get any farther away from cars than this, I'll get sick and die.<br />
it's like I'm not happy unless I'm breathing in the thick, black, nauseating fumes...<br />
*glottis sniffs*<br />
<br />
Manny: *puffs a cigarette* Hmm. Can't imagine.<br />
<br />
Manny: Glottis... Glottis... Is that a German name?<br />
<br />
Glottis: Oh, no. My roots lie not in any Earthly nation's soil.<br />
I am an elemental spirit summoned up from the Land of the Dead itself and given one purpose, one <br />
<br />
skill, one desire:<br />
to DRIVE.<br />
Or, to change oil and adjust timing belts, if no driving jobs are open.<br />
<br />
Manny: Looks like I need a new driver.<br />
<br />
Glottis: OH!<br />
I...<br />
Uh... I!<br />
Uh... I, would agree with that.<br />
Yes you do.<br />
<br />
Manny: You want to be my replacement driver?<br />
<br />
Glottis: ME?<br />
Oh, oh no. Sorry.<br />
Can't.<br />
Rules.<br />
Manny: Come on Glottis, I need you to be my driver.<br />
<br />
Glottis: No, I can't. I'm... I'm...<br />
I'm too big.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/02065a.PNG"></p>
Manny: You're not too big! you're just right!<br />
<br />
Glottis:No, they told me again and again.<br />
I'm too big to drive.<br />
<br />
Manny: You're not too big. You just have a self-image problem.<br />
<br />
Glottis: A what?<br />
<br />
Manny: Repeat after me:<br />
I am not fat.<br />
I am thin.<br />
Women find me attractive...<br />
<br />
Glottis: Hey, I never said I was too fat for the ladies, just the cars.<br />
The ladies like me just fine (heh heh heh).<br />
<br />
Manny: You're not too big. The cars are just too small.<br />
<br />
Glottis: Yeah! Those dang compact cars--<br />
Hey! That gives me an idea!<br />
I could alter your car just a bit--with just a quick torch job to let out the seams, you know?<br />
Ah, but I'm not allowed to modify the cars without a work order from upstairs.<br />
I could lose my job.<br />
<br />
Manny: A work order, huh?<br />
<br />
Glottis: Yeah, yeah, yeah!<br />
I can't torch anything bigger than a cigarette without one of these signed by the boss himself.<br />
<br />
Manny: Hey, that's my line. Getting people to sign.<br />
Back in a snap.<br />
<br />
Glottis: Yeah, too small. I am not too big!<br />
Everything around here is just too small!<br />
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/021e11.PNG"></p>
Yes, yes you do. Let us find out how.<br />
<br />
Let us go back to the lobby.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/02205b.PNG"></p>
Apparently, Eva dislikes the squeaky noises.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/0236a1.PNG"></p>
Nice excuse, Manny you lying bastard <img src="/LetsPlay/Smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt=""><br />
Let us see if Eva can help us with the work order.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/04e02.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Eva, I really need the boss to sign this work order.
<br>
<br>Eva: I'll give it a shot.
<br>Mr. Copal, I've got Manny Calavera out here to see you...
<br>
<br>Don: Didn't I say no interruptions today?
<br>
<br>Eva: Eh.
<br>Sorry, Cal.
</i><br><br>
Damn, no good. Let us go ouside then, maybe we can find... Something.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/05b64.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: I don't like the way that eye is looking at me.
<br>Hello?
<br>That's the door to the garage.
<br>It's huge. I can't open it.
</i><br><br>
Hm. THere's a weird... Rope... THing there. Let us check it.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/06d26.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: It looks like a rope...
<br>...but it's really just a bunch of cheap ties tied together.
</i><br><br>
Cheap ties? Hm. Why would cheap ties be hanging from the buiilding? Let's climb them.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/072de.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: It's the loose end of the rope made of ties.
<br>It's pretty long, though...
<br>Those are some ugly ties.
<br>I can't believe I climbed up that thing.
<br>Looks like the Boss has gone fishing.
</i><br><br>
Ah hah! The boss is not there. SO that's why he didn't want to be disturbed..<br />
<br />
Wait, how could he say he didn't want to be disturbed if he wasn't there?<br />
Let us check the other office first.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/04273a.PNG"></p>
I think that means we can check it! I think.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/0438b4.PNG"></p>
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/08dd4.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Domino locks his window.
<br>Fear of pigeons, probably.
</i><br><br>
Damn. <br />
Oh well, let's give the boss' office a visit.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/09ff2.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: This place is a mess!
<br>It looks like Don's rigged his computer to automatically answer his intercom...
</i><br><br>
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%204/0500e4.PNG"></p>
That will probably be useful.<br />
<br />
Next update: We get the damn work order signed, and we visit the LAND OF THE LIVING!

<h1>Update 4. Let us get that work order signed.</h1>
Let us give Eva the work order.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%205/02b69.gif"></p>
<br><i>
<br>Manny: Ehhh, the living still give me the creeps.
<br>Bound only by the paper-thin wrapper of mortality, a soul here lies, struggling to be free.
<br>And so it shall, thanks to a bowl of bad gazpacho, and a man named Calavera.
</i><br><br>
So this is the word of the Living. And that is the client! I think we should check what we can do with those creepy collage people first.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%205/038ab.gif"></p>
<br><i>
<br>Manny: Look at these poor saps...
<br>It's the fear of Death that makes monsters of us all.
<br>Smiles as bright and wide as the blade on my scythe...
<br>Scaring the living is technically against the rules, but we all do it.
<br>If I scare them to death then they'll become a customer, but I'll get nailed with a conflict-of-interest rap.
<br>Soon, I'll be coming for them.
<br>Did I look like that when I was alive?
<br>Pssst. It's me, Death. I'll see you soon, okay?
<br>I know you can't hear me, but try to feel what I'm about to say deep down in your soul.
<br>Don't... eat... the... gazpacho...
<br>Ah, fun's fun, but I've got work to do.
<br>I can't reap hamburger.
<br>Cows are a whole other bureau, not to mention the lettuce.
<br>Truth be told, I'd rather be setting this milkshake's soul free.
<br>Mmmmm... smells like the perfect client...
<br>Rich, and sweet!
</i><br><br>
Allrighty, fun is fun, but as Manny said, there's work to be done. Let us reap that poor soul there, trapped in the shroud... thingie.
<p><img src="/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%205/042bb.gif"></p>
<br><i>
<br>Manny: I can't use my bare hands. I'm a professional.
<br>
<br>Bruno: Nice bathrobe.
<br>
<br>Manny: ...but we offer several travel upgrade package upgrades if you'd care to--
<br>
<br>Bruno: Cut the yap. I want something cheap where I can get some rest, and that's it.
<br>
<br>Manny: Ay ay ay.
<br>
<br>Glottis: You know, Manny, I could make this car a little faster. If you wanted...
<br>
<br>Manny: Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
<br>
<br>Glottis: Oh yeah, slam the front into the weeds, tub the rear end, dual blowers poppin' outta the hood!
<br>Wah-wah-wah-wah-WAAAAAH! Wah-wah-wah-wah-WAAAAAAAAHAAAAHHH!
<br>
<br>Manny: You'll get plenty of rest this way, Mr. Martinez, and you'll be safely padded by the foam created when these two chemicals mix, like this.
<br>
<br>Bruno: Uh, on second thought, I wanna upgrade my package!
<br>
<br>Manny: Sorry, Bruno, but you didn't qualify for anything better.
<br>But here, have this complimentary mug!
<br>
<br>Bruno: No! Wait! Can't you find me something where I can move my legs?
<br>
<br>Manny: You know I'd like to, Bruno...
<br>...but my boss is a real hard-ass.
<br>
<br>Don: I gotta be a hard-ass when I got lazy sickle-wavers like THIS jolly boy working for me! Manny, you couldn't find a sale at a yacht club!
<br>
<br>Manny: I got a sale right here!
<br>
<br>Don: I'm talkin' PREMIUM sales, Calavera! Like the kind Domino makes!
<br>
<br>Manny: How am I supposed to make premium sales with the scumbag clients you're sending me?
<br>
<br>Bruno: Hey!
<br>
<br>Don: Now you're blamin' the clients? I've had it with you, Manny! If you haven't bagged a premium before the next sales report comes in, you're out!
<br>Out on the street! No job! No way to work off your time! Just a fancy suit and your big smile and a whole lotta time to kill!
<br>
<br>Bruno: Who you callin' a scumbag? Why, I oughta--
<br>MrmrMRRmr! MrMrMRrr! MrMrMRrr? MrMrMRRmr!
<br>
<br>Manny: I'm sick of waiting around for a good lead, like it's going to fly in here tied to a brick.
<br>It's time to TAKE one.
</i><br><br>
Well, those were 3 big GIFs. Will make another update later, to make up for the lack of updates in yesterday and whatnot.<br />
<br />
Also, just noticed that the game itself transcripts the conversations, that should make it easier.

<h1>Update 5</h1>
Last time we were here, we had just reaped a new client, Bruno, and sent him to his not very confortable 4 year journey of the Soul. And saw Manny get threatened by his boss. We NEED toget that elusive premium client as soon as possible. But how? Let us go back to the Lobby and talk with Eva.
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/001cba.PNG"></p>
Manny<br />
Hey, you missed a great poisoning.<br />
<br />
Eva<br />
Yeah, and you missed a great client.<br />
<br />
Eva<br />
Domino came back from there with a nun.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
H<EFBFBD>jole - I got a tiny little man with a mean temper and no commission.<br />
<br />
Eva<br />
Well, at least you don't work for one.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I can't find my driver.<br />
<br />
Eva<br />
Manny, you know what to do.<br />
<br />
Eva<br />
Stop playing dumb just to flirt with me.<br />
<br />
Eva<br />
Manny, if you don't mind, I've got a lot of filing here to do...<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Right. Hay te huacho.<br />
<br />
Well, that was pretty damn useless. Let's see if something has changed around here.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/002bb0.PNG"></p>
Why yes! Domino's door is open, let us see what he has to say.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/01664.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: It's Domino Hurley, sweatiest man in the office.
<br>
<br>Domino: You gotta sweat to sell, Cally, and you know it.
</i><br><br>
How can he sweat if he is... A skeleton? Huh.<br />

<br />
Manny<br />
So, how'd you make out at the poisoning?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Well, let's just say that Sister Calabaza has a secret passion...<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
...for trains.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
You got a nun?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Hail Mary.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
And you sold her a ticket on the Number Nine train?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Choo-choo, little buddy.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Say, how'd you score?<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I got a mean midget I had to send parcel post.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Ah, cheer up, Buddy. Another day, another death, am I right?<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I want to ask you a question.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Shoot, slugger.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Is it hard to kiss up to the boss so much with no lips?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Hey, I got all the lip I need.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
I get it from you.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Can I have one of your clients?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Sure, Cal.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Just as soon as I get one I think you could handle...<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I can handle anything you got.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Especially if that's your best right jab.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Why do you get all the good clients?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
You're asking the wrong guy.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
You should be taking a good long look at the man in the mirror.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
No thanks. I don't enjoy that the same way you do.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
What did you do to get this job?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
You mean, what's my secret to success?<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
No, I mean how did you screw up and get stuck here at the DOD?<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
What sin did you commit and how long are you going to have to work here to pay it off?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
I could easily ask the same question of you.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
But I don't know the answer. I still don't know what I've done.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
How convenient! Then neither do I.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I wanna tell you something.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Good, go on and let it all out.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
There's no reason for you to be afraid of me.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
You know, this used to be my office.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Yeah, I know.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
I found your name on some comic books in the desk.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I want my office back.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Don't worry, you'll have years and years to enjoy it after I get promoted out and you're still here.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I think you're up to something.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Yeah, I'm up to about four premium sales this week.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Heh heh.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I think we should team up, be partners.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Oh, Manny, I would, but I'm too intimidated.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
I could never be partners with someone who was so much more of a man than me.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Oh, come on.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I've seen your wife.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
I wanna punch you in the mouth.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Oh, no. Not the Christmas party all over again.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
What happened at the Christmas party?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Blacked out on the whole thing, huh?<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Maybe you should switch to lemonade, kid.<br />
<br />
Manny<br />
Well, you sound pretty out of breath, so I'm going to blow.<br />
<br />
Domino<br />
Always a pleasure, Cal.<br />
<br />
After that conversation, let us see what we can find in his office.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/027e5.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: That's some premium-looking scotch.
<br>
<br>Domino: Have some, Manny, just so you don't forget what premium tastes like.
<br>
<br>Manny: Look at all the diplomas!
<br>
<br>Domino: You have to have the proper attitude to get diplomas like those, Manny!
<br>
<br>Manny: Really? I thought you just had to have the proper postage.
<br> No messages in Dom's fancy red tube.
<br>He's got a lock on it!
<br>I can't believe he doesn't trust me!
<br>Hey, Dom, what's your screen-saver password?
<br>
<br>Domino: Get away from my computer, Manny.
<br>
<br>Manny: Desk drawers? I don't have desk drawers!
<br>
<br>Domino: Hey! Get out of there, Calavera!
</i><br><br>
When trying to interact with Domino's tube, he says the same thing he says when trying to interact with Don <br />
<br />
Copal's tube.<br />
Well, his office is definitely bigger than Manny's. And prettier. And with better stuff. I like the ceiling's <br />
<br />
painting.<br />
<br />
Let's see what Manny has to say about his new client, he should have his file open in his computer.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/022f99.PNG"></p>
Must not have been a good person eh? But then again, why would a good person deserve to be delivered in a <br />
<br />
package like that?<br />
<br />
Let us check how Glottis is doing. And WHAT he is doing. <br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/023e43.PNG"></p>
He is not there? Hm. Let us see what kind of stuff he has in his shack then.<br />
But first let us see that thing on the side of the shack.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/03d5d.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: Who's afraid of a little Rusty water?
</i><br><br>
Bah, doesn't even have water, only clanking noises.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/026c50.PNG"></p>
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/027267.PNG"></p>
Damn. Can't check this either. Let us go to the other rooms then.<br />
<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/028bc2.PNG"></p>
Holy hell what's that?<br />
Hm. A demon thing. Or something. <br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/0445d.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Other: You and your fancy suits and your nose holes way up in the air...
<br>Sticking your empty beer bottles down the message tubes, how fancy is that?
<br>Huh? Don't you boys upstairs realize the tube switcher is a sophisticated and delicate piece of machinery?
<br>You think you're better than me??
<br>
<br>Manny: No.
</i><br><br>
"Good"<br />
<br />
Hmm. Blocking the machinery. Not really a bad idea, I think. Could work to... Um. Don't know what it would work <br />
<br />
for, but being an asshole to others is always amusing in adventure games.<br />
Let's see what is in the room where we treated Bruno.<br />
<p><img src="http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Grim/Update%206/057f9.gif"></p>
<i>
<br>Manny: One of the chemicals for our packing material comes out here.
<br>For those who enjoy no-hassle travel.
<br>Bruno? You in one of those?
<br>Must have picked him up already.
<br>
<br>It's a nasty chemical puddle.
<br>
<br>Ah! That smell!
<br>It's a lump of our packing foam.
</i><br><br>
That could be useful. What could we use to contain that?<br />
A BALLOON! Tha's it. <br />
<br />
Next update: Filling the balloons with the chemicals, causing mayhem.
