Your name is Stan, and you are a building.


Your job is to be a building, but your hobby (more like your second job) is to sing anti-racism PSAs with your friend Trixie, who is also a building.


You and Trixie were supposed to start singing at 2:00 PM, but it's 2:05 PM and she's not here. She's never not here. Where is she? You're very worried.


What will you do?

You quickly sing out an improvised song about your missing friend Trixie. It's not your best work, but it gets the point across.


You attract the attention of two people on a nearby building.


A building sings a song. Two people on a nearby building are looking at it.

A picture of a purple card with a winking Courtyard Droll on it, captioned "You're welcome." There are clubs in each corner except the bottom left where there is another Courtyard Droll.

You say you'd still rather wear the outfit. He's got nothing to say about that.

You're not so sure about that. Maybe they have permission to be there? Either way, it wouldn't hurt to check on them.


You introduce yourself and ask the people what they're doing.


One of them grabs a megaphone and answers you. They say they're Moxie and Molly, and they're working on repairing the building's roof.

They say they're quite fond of the game RISK.


You're not sure what to do with this information.


The building is still talking to the people.

"Kill Time"? You'd rather not. Just to clarify the current situation:


This is the first time in TEN YEARS that your best friend has not shown up to sing with you. Don't get yourself wrong, you don't think she should be FORCED to sing with you. But on the rare occasion where Trixie bailed on you, it was because something bad happened to her (illness, her sibling getting injured (yes buildings have families)) and she let you know ahead of time. Since she didn't show up OR tell you, you can only assume that something EXTREMELY bad happened to her, like the "on death's floor" kind of bad. She could be moments away from singing her

last note.


Stan the building stares at the viewer.


Either that, or she's just running late.


...Huh. Maybe you SHOULD play a board game to calm yourself down.


You ask Molly And Moxie if they'd like to play Risk, but they don't have it on them. Which makes sense, come to think of it. Why would a building maintenance crew bring a board game to a job site?

Molly and Moxie ask you about the "I need to find Trixie PSA" you were singing. MAYBE you should ask for their assistance???


Molly and Moxie don't have Risk. They ask about the PSA Stan was singing.

You slide up to Moxie and Molly and speak to them in hushed tones.


Hey. You didn't hear this from me. But there's this building, right? And this building is what some folks might call... "missing." Real tragic, that. Now, You're not FORCING them to do anything, but if they could lend your assistance... well, it would save everyone a whole lot of trouble. Otherwise, something really tragic might happen. They catch your drift?


Stan the building whispers to two humans


Moxie and Molly start running away for some reason.


The two humans are sprinting away from Stan.

Suddenly, a police helicopter flies up to you. It announces that your are UNDER ARREST.

This is concerning.

What do you do?

You don't know why the cops are trying to arrest you, since you didn't commit any crime. So you run away from the cops, which you suppose is probably a crime in itself. Oh well. You don't like the cops anyway. They hated it when you sang your anti-racism PSAs because they kept getting noise complaints.


Speaking of noise: You're sure making a lot of it! Turns out that a 200,000 ton structure hitting the bricks makes quite an impact on the road. And jostles up your insides real good. You sure wouldn't want to, say, BE A HUMAN ON THE INSIDE right now.


But you've got bigger problems than your occupants. There's a long line of cars up ahead that isn't moving at all. How are you going to deal with them???


(sidenote: thanks! you're welcome.)


Stan is running away from the helicopter and making THUMPS and craters as he runs. There's eight red cars (two lanes of 4) up ahead.)
