Seeing Conner move more anxiously, Esther also wanted to try to pick up what the ongoing threat might be. Pretending to go into a dramatic trance after spinning the wheel, "Oh I do hope it's a green car, I can see it with my inner eye now...". she closed her eyes as if in happiness.
OOC:
Esther will try to perceive what the room might be like a few minutes from now, ie some danger arriving, an unexpected attack etc

Note: you've moved from the wheel room to the finance room. Sorry to skip over the winning spin bit. Linda and the tada girl are both bounce-in-place squealing ecstatic. And the car is fully loaded in your choice of color.

Glenda, seeing that something is happening, gets herself up and tries to follow along with Connor's excuse.

Teamwork: each participant can roll and your successes are added. To assist Conner's ruse, Glenda should say something and roll an appropriate Manipulation + Subterfuge or similar check.

Wiki follows Connors lead, and with a quick tab on her leather-covered oversized smartwatch
[ +- ] looking something like this
A few seconds later Wiki's and Rabbi Mordecai's phone rings. A pleasant voice tells them both, its a conference call, that it is time to leave before trouble shows up.
While on the phone, she waves off the tax-guy. When he insists, she flips him off, telling him: Do I look like a iSheep? Give it to the bimbo by the wheel! She continues her fake phone call, telling her Virtual Assistant (OCC a several generations ahead version of Alexa/Siri ) that she will be there as soon as she can.
She makes to leave without filing any paperwork.
OOC:
Oh shit, its a botch

Oh my God, you were just telling me about her. Oh no. Glenda says as she starts trying to push past the people to get to Conner and help him get away from the crowd. I'm sorry, he needs to go. I'll sign whatever later.

Esther planted a full-on kiss on the ta-da girl's lips, "I need an assistant for my next show, look me up." And winked.

"We're all winners, let's celebrate! I'm taking everyone out for a joyride! Yes that includes you too Mordy. Let's go, no time like the present!" As frivolous as it all sounded, Esther had the same premonition of disaster that Conner appeared to have, and not only was she aiding in Conner's cover, she was trying to find a plausible reason to get them all out of there, fast.
OOC:
Making up another plausible cover.

The finance people are, like, tots astonished, okay? They look back at forth and one another then one says, "We'd have the photos for ID later." to which another responds, "Leaving now, you may not get anything, if we can't prove you're who you say you are. Or were."

The multi-boot stomping in the hallway is now audible to everyone.
Aug 9, 2019 4:31 am
OOC:
is there another exit besides the one the boots are coming from?
Aug 9, 2019 4:34 am
There is an inside door. It may lead to a closet, or to a mechanical room, or to another hallway; it isn't labeled. The one labeled EXIT is the one the boots are about to stomp through.
Aug 9, 2019 4:45 am
Well here goes nothing, leading Wiki to the door Conner swings it open.
Aug 9, 2019 5:14 am
OOC:
Oops, I assumed the car is inside a showroom, or nearby, or accessible. Can we get to it to use it straightaway? If so, I'm going with my earlier post, if not, I'll declare something else.
Aug 9, 2019 12:39 pm
The car isn't nearby (it's at the dealership), and none of you have finished the tax forms yet so you haven't been given those prizes.

Which door does Conner go through?
Aug 9, 2019 1:41 pm
OOC:
Thanks for clarifying.

Only two doors right? The one marked Exit is the one we all entered from, and the other is the inner door that Conner is about to open? The previous room was the wheel room, and this room is the finance room.
"Darlings, you already have our names and videos. I'll have my assistant come pick up these forms, fill them in, and bring them back to you, how about that? Top prize, I can't wait to celebrate!" Esther kept talking to the two finance people while the rest made for the inner door. She also whipped out her phone, on the pretext of messaging her assistant Taurus about this, but in reality to warn him. "Leave this place now. Will meet up when safe."

The closet door Im sorry I should have specified.

Conner yanks open the inner door and finds access to a small maintenance hallway leading directly inward. You see some janitorial supplies and then another door 20 feet in where the hallway stops.

Who else is entering? And what about Schlomo who is outside the outer door?
Aug 11, 2019 5:45 am
Wiki follows Connor into the maintenance hallway.
Conner, what is going on? I have followed your lead, so fare, but...
Aug 11, 2019 2:29 pm
Esther headed for the maintenance hallway door as well, and waited for the rest to come. Once they closed the door behind them, Esther dropped her Vegas showgirl demeanor, and became all business-like and focussed, "I'll seal the room. And see if I can sense who or what they are." She didn't want to do it in thr presence of the people in the other room, but had no qualms with the awakened.
OOC:
Will wait for everyone to confirm they're coming through before I seal the room. But before that Esther will try to sense the number of enemies coming, who they are, how many of them, what objects they are carrying etc.

Just trust me, he looks at Wiki with the sternest look he can muster, unless you're trying to learn if you have an allergy to tiny pieces of metal at high velocities.
