Spoilers ahead. Don't keep reading unless you've gotten to the
airport.
I need a very small hint for Bureaucracy. In don't want you to give
me the answer. That would ruin the fun. I just want you to tell me
the right place to look.
I can't get out of my home town. I need to get to the airport. I can
get in the taxi, and he'll take me to the airport, but I don't have
any cash to pay him. I can't get anything out of the bank.
This is what I've done so far:
Gotten assorted mail with little stickers (B, C, and D), from the
mansion, the paranoid, and the stamp collector.
Eaten a burger (but not paid for it).
Fed the llama (but it didn't help anything).
Got the airplane ticket (Californians are NOT like that).
Gotten the recipie cartridge (do I cook the llama later? why? don't
answer that).
Learned exactly nothing with the phone.
Bought nothing from the nerd.
Etc., etc. I figure that I need to get that check that is coming to
me, but it never arrives. The call to the people who should have sent
it gets me nowhere fast. Once I get the check, I can take it to the
bank and cash it, to pay the taxi driver and get out at the airport,
but I can't get the check.
Don't tell me exactly how to do that. Just give me an area to keep
looking, so I don't waste time in the wrong place. Something like
"keep trying with the phone", or "the llama will get you there" would
be adequate.
Please use E-MAIL. I don't follow this group.
By the way, why is it that Brits misspell "jail" as "gaol", anyway?
You'd think they invented the language!
