#magic eight ball

[beansoun]

The fate of one whole summer on the shoulders of one small, insignificant magic 8 ball…

[lone-starlight]

[A bit after the image of the map, another message appears: "The earpiece is in the unlocked box with the fire extinguisher."]

[The exit that was marked on the map is on the far eastern side of the building, there are no guards around. The electrical lock on the exit clicks and opens as soon as Star approaches it, almost as if somebody purposely unlocked it as soon as they saw Star coming.]

[Past the muted red door, a blank, white corridor with flickering lights stretches onwards and onwards, eventually turning left. There's a red, metal box on the wall. Inside there is indeed an earpiece, lying near the fire extinguisher. The earpiece is clearly Showfall technology, but if Star inspects it more closely, they can see that the part where it was supposed to connect to a device was taken out and some wiring had been modified as well.]

[It takes a second to figure out where the exit on the map is; Star is what one might call directionally challenged, but at least they know their lefts and rights... mostly. Not to mention, as Star has said before, the mall is huge, and the inside doesn't quite match up to what they're seeing... at least they don't think it does? This whole place is so confusing]

[Turns out, they were on the other side of the building to the exit, so when Star finally gets to their entrance, they're already gritting their teeth in frustration as the door opens. With a jump, they stare at the door in shock for a moment before grumbling about "show off"s]

[Upon entering, they look around for a moment, clenching their fist once, releasing a single shock from the gloves, and ready for any sort of attack. As nothing happens, they finally approach the red box. They consider taking the fire extinguisher for a moment, before deciding against it, picking up the earpiece instead. Gotta stay lightweight]

[Turning the device in their hands, they examine what is clearly Eight's handywork. It's clearly rushed and amateur. Maybe if the teen gets out, Star can teach them a thing or two about proper technical engineering... if they want it anyways]

[Star shakes the thought out of their head. That's real wishful thinking, even for them. Eight probably does not want anything to do with them after this, in or outside of Showfall]

[With a slight grimace at the wires, they slot the earpiece on, pressing what they assume is a button to talk]

Testing, testing, one, two, and three. Eight? Can ya read me?

Well I was going to use my Magic 8 Ball to make a decision, but apparently it's having trouble connecting to the Microsoft Signs & Portents server.

As I see it, yes.

Ask again later.

Better not tell you now.

Cannot predict now.

Concentrate and ask again.

Don't count on it.

It is certain.

It is decidedly so.

Most likely.

My reply is no.

My sources say no.

Outlook not so good.

Outlook good.

Reply hazy, try again.

Signs point to yes.

Very doubtful.

Without a doubt.

Yes.

Yes definitely.

You may rely on it.

How long have you been standing out there?

It can't be more than a couple of hours.

Whatever, I sent you the map of how to get to the back entrance that I need you at and which areas to avoid.

You can get going between 5 and 6 pm. I'll deactivate the cameras.

Mmmmmmm..... good question. Feels like aaaages, but... yeah, I've been skirting the place for around an hour and a half or so.

Ah, there's the map. Sweet jesus, what is this, the fucking Tardis??? It's big enough on the outside, why the fuck does it look bigger on the inside?????

Thank you. I'll head in then
