ask jasmine if she thinks its acceptable to rub off on me in public, and if she could please take her interesting qualities elsewhere.

[You are in THE HEROTEC OFFICE HALLWAYS CENTRAL.]>ask jasmine about rubbing off
I cannot believe I just typed that.
Jasmine blinks.
>tell jasmine about annoying phone
"Yes, well, I wanted to make sure that I heard it when it rang. It's a great opportunity and I can't miss it. Now if you would excuse me-"
You will not excuse her. In addition to being a total drag, you're also being obstinate. Look at you, branching out. So proud. So proud.
The PHONE stops ringing. Jasmine looks crushed and walks back EAST. You're alone in this HALLWAY once again.

[You are in THE HEROTEC OFFICE HALLWAYS WEST.] >walk west, look at sign The SIGN reads as follows: Photocopier -> <- Break Room Cafeteria -><- Human Resourcesand just below that a piece of paper has been taped to the sign: "Danger! Flesh-Eating Acid Just South. Thank You For Reading This Sign!" That PHONE starts ringing again. You think to yourself that this is all very strange. Why is Jasmine's realtor calling her on her work phone rather than on her mobile? Why is Jasmine using a realtor to look for vacation spots? That's the job of a travel-agent. Most importantly, why is Jasmine looking to go on vacation? Between the phone and the flesh-eating acid, there's plenty to do here. Besides, it's the off-season. These rather flimsy arguments considered, you turn your attention to the exit to the SOUTH. A purplish liquid is dripping from the ceiling and making burn marks in the worn blue carpet.

Wait a minute I think our legs disobeyed us. We were in the central hallways, so walking west would bring us back to the west hallways. I wanted to read the sign there. The west hallways have exits to the south and east, so the sign is probably on the south-east corner of the end of the hallway to point to both exits using one plane.

The photocopier strikes your fancy, so you follow the sign back east, as I surreptitiously fix the mistakes made to the map of the offices. Hey, it made things a little more interesting at least.

Morrison realizes they've been pacing back and forth in the hallways again and with a flicker of embarrassment hopes Jasmine didn't see. Luckily it's only a flicker because pacing is something Morrison is prone to. Morrison wants to use the photostat to copy a few pages of expertly-typed files. Can you beat 160 WPM Jasmine? No? Didn't think so.

[You are in the HEROTEC OFFICE HALLWAYS EAST.] >walk east
Hey, new location! Shame it's exactly the same as the other two hallways you've been in.
To the NORTH is the Photocopying Room. To the SOUTH, a stairway leading up to... somewhere. Back to the WEST is the quiet comfort of the Central Hallways.
I promise you I won't leave again. Really and truly. I promise.
I promise!

I suppose it's what I deserve for abandoning this, huh?
You realize the eastern wall must be hiding something, a la Platform Nine and Three Quarters.
It doesn't. Now your nose is bleeding.

[You are in the HEROTEC OFFICE HALLWAYS EAST.] >use drill on wall
That'd be a great idea... if you had a drill. In fact, you're not carrying anything. If you were carrying something, I could say "you know, you can type '>inventory' to see what you're carrying and get a little more information on it" but you're not, sooooo...
