He's the owner and only he handles the truck rentals, but somehow you need to move a lot of boxes around for a "self" storage business with no visible customers. For the record, nobody knows who Al is and you're not actually sure what's up with the psychic readings. Why couldn't you have found a job at the mall like everyone else? Anyhow, you walked in, and Joe handed you a list. He seemed in a hurry to leave, but whatever, the sooner you finish the sooner you can get away with a nap in the break room.

Break Room This is also the storage room, but you are most interested in the incongruous overstuffed arm chair in the corner. You can go east, and you could go south, but that's a door labeled "Seance Room" which you've never seen opened. A closed hatch in the ceiling leads to the attic. On the counter are your backpack (closed), a pile of rental forms, a bag of padlocks, and a box of keys. >x me As cute as ever in a band shirt, black work pants, and a silver necklace. >jump You jump, but you still can't reach the hatch. >xyzzy You skipped ahead a little in the magic textbook, but that one looked hard. >sneeze That's not a verb I recognize. >fart That's not a verb I recognize. >dance That's not a verb I recognize. >sing That's not a verb I recognize. >shout I didn't understand that sentence. >ponder futility of existence as seen in contrast with endlessly expansive cosmos That's not a verb I recognize. >l Break Room This is also the storage room, but you are most interested in the incongruous overstuffed arm chair in the corner.

In a cave a small group, probably a family, carries in what must be a body, wrapped in rough cloth. It is so small, but you know somehow that it is not a child. It is an old...man. He feels male. And powerful. They lay him down gently, and arrange an amulet around his neck. A pale green and a reddish brown stone. Then they deliberately cover his body in rocks, laughing and crying and talking to each other in a language you don't understand or even recognize. After only a few minutes, they are done and return the way they came. You blink and return to the present. You put on the amulet. >l Joe's Office This is where Joe sits, plans his next business schemes, and mostly watches television.
