>> Jimmy: Those things on the front of the boxes look like envelopes, possibly containing invoices. Check them out.
A good idea, but unfortunately, they're just regular LABELS!
>> Jimmy: Upturn boxes of Jaitia.
>> Jimmy: Dump out a box and put it in the inventory. Place money in the box since there isn't any space.
>> Jimmy: Switch two of the labels on the boxes and flip a third label upside down.
You do all of these!
First you not only upturn a couple of the BOXES of JAITIA but you also turn the little PYRAMID in the back to a TOWER for no reason at all! Then you dump out an entire BOX (on the left) and steal the BOX itself. You originally thought they were WOODEN, but it seems they're made of CARDBOARD after all. It really doesn't matter to you anyway. Finally, you switch the LABELS on two of the BOXES (which accomplishes nothing) and flip the LABEL on the BOX at the top of the new TOWER. What fun!
You store the EMPTY BOX in your INVENTORY and place your $6.45 inside, just like you once did with your COMPUTER CASE. Oh, the memories...
>> Jimmy: Move chair out of way and lift bar off the ground to see if you can open the freezer like that.
You go back upstairs to mess with the WOODEN BAR and pass TRENT coming down as he comes to pick up that CARD that was on the floor.
Urgh; this thing is really heavy! You have a hard time lifting it, and thus kind of act like you're lifting weights or something similar. You don't hear any clicking noises like a SWITCH would make if you pull a rope long enough or anything along those lines, so you assume that this heavy lifting is accomplishing nothing whatsoever. What a pain!
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE FREEZER WANTS TO EAT YOU. You can feel the COLD AIR coming out of it for sure, but there's no way you're sticking your HAND (let alone the KEYCARD) in there! What the heck is it moving for, anyway? This is crazy!
>> Trent: BEGIN ENGAGEMENT (with the freezer monster)
Sure thing! You just have to go get some help first! JIMMY's upstairs, you think, so you quickly head that way.
As you bound up the STAIRS to the 2ND FLOOR, you hear the unmistakable clap of THUNDER outside. That STORM's a-brewin'!
>> Trent: Tell JIMMY of your story regarding the MONSTER that disguised itself as the FREEZER.
>> Jimmy: Explain after the story it's you lifting the handle and tell Trent to set the key card in upon lifting the door.
While you're still holding the WOODEN BAR, TRENT comes bounding into the room yelling about some FREEZER MONSTER. You explain that you've been lifting and lowering this HANDLE the whole time, which must have been making the FREEZER COVER DOOR go up and down! TRENT suddenly realizes that this is perfectly plausible and that the FREEZER MONSTER, in fact, does not exist. He feels very silly!
>> Jimmy: Lift the handle again. Hold it this time.
>> Trent: Obey Jimmy despite previous thoughts and set the key card in.
>> Trent: Put some of the Jaitia laying around in the freezer as well
JIMMY tells you to put the KEYCARD in the FREEZER as he opens it, so you go back downstairs and do so. You also put some REFINED JAITIA in the FREEZER as well for good measure, just to see if something happens.
>> Try to light jaitia on fire with the wooden stake. (Seems like a good idea. Those glowy rocks have to do something.)
While you wait for the KEYCARD to freeze, you pull out one of your BLAZING STAKES and heat another lump of REFINED JAITIA that you grabbed off the floor. Unfortunately, no matter what you do or how close to the FLAME you hold it or for how long, nothing interesting seems to happen!
>> Trent: Tell Jimmy to lift the handle now and then to see if the key changes shape.
>> Trent: If it does, remove it and use it on the computer.
YES! The KEYCARD changed shape once more! However, the two lumps of REFINED JAITIA you had put in the FREEZER didn't do anything at all. You assume that JAITIA is unresponsive to changes in temperature, but those were good tests nonetheless!
You swipe the COLD KEYCARD, and the COMPUTER proudly displays that the PINK DOOR has been unlocked! Way to go!
>> Jimmy: On the keyboard of the computer, enter "@[=g3,8d]\&fbb=-q]/hk%fg" (quotes included) followed by Delete.
You remember doing this on your own COMPUTER back at APEX, but it didn't work then. Unfortunately, nothing happens now, either! Perhaps you've got the wrong CHIPSET. Oh well.
The two of you go down to the room formerly blocked off behind the PINK DOOR.
