It worked! The room is filled with a dark green light now. it seems you got the right one! The small room has a table near the wall where the toolbox can be seen on a table. It seems to contain a flashlight and a few other tubes of different shapes.

You take the toolbox to Rickie Lee.

“Thank you! Just what I needed. I don´t know where my head is sometimes, putting my only flashlight that doesn´t even have batteries in a room that is short of a lighbulb tube. You can have the cake for free now, because you fixed the light. Anything else I can help you with?”

(I only just noticed I wrote rollplaying instead of role-playing, and that in the same week I laughed like everyone else about Trump doing the same mistake, I´m doomed!)

“Oh, no you can have that one. I have another one at home actually. If you could just get me batteries for it I´ll bring it in tomorrow and we´re fine!”

_Ok, that sounds good. Yeah, we might find another flashlight later._

_Thanks so much Rickie, this will help us get to the hotel safely. Here, Brian has some batteries that you can use for the other flashlight. Oh, and thank you for the pie as well! You wouldn’t believe how disgusting the Schweinshaxe was that we tried at the diner. I don’t even know what a Schweinshaxe is. Maybe that was a bad sign, haha!_

I receive the flashlight from Rickie and put my own batteries inside.

_Yep, all we needed was the flashlight and the bear repellent. When we get outside let’s spray some repellent on ourselves._

Can you make a thread public after the fact?

_You walk to the vista where the Sherrif is nowhere to be seen and then walk on to the hotel. As you arrive you see the revolving door turning at high speed._

Curiously on the other side of the hotel, there are no doors, not even windows.

_Ok, then we could try to stop the door. Or we can try to phone someone in the hotel and ask him what is going on there. Maybe we should try a phone call first. What do you think, Hazel? Have you seen a phone booth somewhere?_

Don’t we have a test person? 🙂 But if you/Milan would like to invite more people to play with us, I would recommend to start a new (public?) game. We could play this in parallel. 😉
