Chapter 5: Shade-on Likes Cake, So She's Cool

SShade: Zagu, Chaosky... I have got my answer to this rather easy puzzle.
Zagu: Well, hurry up; my feet are killing me.
SShade: Um... okay.

Conclusion (Room 124)

Principal #3 claims there is no Room 124, yet that Omochao claimed the opposite. When I asked Principal #3 about where the room WOULD be, he said it was next to room 123. That left only two things-- the Bulletin Board, and the Principal's Office.

The Bulletin Board gave me my Insta-Win Token: "Mr. Kawizzyworth, the new teacher." Nobody knows him, apparently. And Mister Prower isn't leaving, so... what class is he teaching? Room 124. Where is Room 124? In the Principal's Office. Who is Mister Kawizzyworth? The Principal.

[the principal slowly claps]
Prin: Good job, child.
SShade: Principal! Or, should I say... Mister Kawizzyworth?
Prin: I say, that is quite the story you made. But... my name is Punchinello.
[SShade, Chaosky, and Zagu stand, staring]
Chy: You mean... the Prof actually messed a puzzle up for once? This is heavy.
SShade: ...no. I didn't mess it up. ...your full name is Mister Punchinello Kawizzyworth, is it not?
Punch: ...........you know, I hate you.
SShade: Why? Because I discovered your name, and your secret classroom?
Punch: Oh, I assure you, you may have discovered my name... but not the classroom.
SShade: But... isn't it inside your office?
Punch: Now, who in their right mind would put a classroom in an office?
Zagu: He has a point there, Professor.
SShade: Wait. Why are you two suddenly calling me "Professor?"
Chy: I... I don't know. It's like... like I knew you went by that title.
Zagu: Same here. Plus, you just look like a Professor Shade.
Punch: HEY! I'm talking here! Little Professor Shade, do you have anything to say?
SShade: I'm not a Professor! And we're still looking for your secret classroom, Mr. Kawizzyworth! C'mon, you two.
[SShade stomps into the Principal's Office, followed by the other two; the door locks]
Punch: Mark my words, Shade! You will never find the secret classroom! Because it DOESN'T EXIST! You hear me? HEY!
[cut to inside the office]
Chy: So, Prof...
SShade: Stop calling me that!
Chy: Sorry! I just wanted to know what your plan was.
SShade: Why are you always looking to ME for the plans?! Think of something on your own for a change!
[SShade finds a closet, and locks herself in it]
Zagu: ....man, what's eating "Gilbert Shade?"
Chy: No idea. But, I don't think she's calm enough to focus on the classroom.
Zagu: What? Aw, crap. What are we gonna do, then?
Chy: I hate to say this, Zagu, but... we're gonna have to do this by ourselves.
[cut to Chaosky and Zagu sat at the Principal's desk, looking around the room]
Zagu: So. How are we gonna figure this out?
Chy: First we have to get some clues.
Zagu: We're not gonna get any clues! We're alone out here.
Chy: Right. Well..... next, we need to look at our surroundings.
Zagu: I can do that.
[just some bookcases, some trophies and plaques, and a map of the school]
Chy: What's on the map?
Zagu: The school.
Chy: ...bring it to me.
Zagu: Yes, boss.
[the map: a semi-circle with five squares at the round part-- Class, Office, Health, and Fortune
a small rectangle at the left side, labelled "Board," and south of it is a bigger rectable labelled "Black Market"]
Chy: That's it? Hmm....
Zagu: What about the Office? What's it got shown there?
Chy: It's just a square, with a long rectangle protruding out of it.
Zagu: Oh.
Both: ...................WHAT?!
[it's true, the Office has a long rectangle protruding out of the North side, which should be behind them]
Chy: Look for it! C'mon, look!
[they get up and frantically search the North wall, and find nothing but some trophies and one button labelled, "DO NOT PUSH"]
Chy: Press it!
Zagu: But, it says--
Chy: I KNOW what it says! Just press it!
Zagu: It'll set a bad example for the children reading this...
Chy: *sigh* Just PRESS IT.
[Zagu presses it; RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE]
[a doorway opens]
Chy: Shall we?
Zagu: Let's.
[they step into the doorway, and find themselves in a long, dark hallway; a lone, well-lit door is at the end]
Chy: I'd get a deja-vu from this, but I wasn't around when the others went to Chao Talk.
[they walk down the hall, and are about to open the door when they hear....]
?: STOP!
[they turn around, and see Punchinello Kawizzyworth]
Punch: Don't OPEN that DOOR!
Zagu: And why NOT?
Punch: The Nomble will kill you!
Zagu: ....the who?
Chy: Yeah, WHO?
Punch: Oh. That trick won't work on you two.... well, the...... the boogeyman will kill you! Yeah!
[they open the door, and find a nice, happy looking room]
[a receptionist is sitting at a desk]
Rec: Hello! Welcome to Room 124! How may I help you?
Chy: I'd like to ask about the Omochao Association. And, uh.... we'd like it if... *slips receptionist a dollar*.... we could learn about it.
Rec: Um.... okay.
Punch: NO!
[Punchinello runs in]
Punch: Listen to me! Activate the emergency Code Ex-Green!
Rec: Emergency Code Ex-Green, sir?
Punch: Oh. I mean, Ex-Red. Sorry.
Rec: Certainly. I'll activate it.
Chy: "Emergency Code Ex-Red?"
Punch: Mweh-heh-heh-heh-heh.... otherwise known as the 'impossible' code.
Zagu: Im.....impossible?!
Punch: Yep. See ya.
[Punchinello runs out of the room; the exit door seals]
Chy: ....is that it?
Rec: Yes. I shall now read the provided instructional manual for Emergency Code Ex-Red.
[the receptionist pulls out a pamphlet]
Rec: "You want to find the Omochao Association? Well, all right. You can. All we've done is remove the exit. Now, it's the Association or bust. Can you make it out of this room, though? Good luck."
Chy: ....we can do it.
Zagu: We CAN?
Chy: Of course. I mean, if we DON'T.... we're just gonna die in here.
Rec: Well... no. We don't want anybody to DIE. If you give up, we'll open the exit for you.
Chy: Oh. Well, there ya go!
Zagu: Yeah, I think we can do this.
Chy: Yeah. Where's the puzzle?

MYSTERY: Wilted Rose

Rec: If you'll direct your attention to this painting... you will notice it is the only object in this room.
Chy: Oh. THAT'S the puzzle. I see.
Rec: Good luck!
Zagu: Let's get started.
[the painting: a single, wilted rose in a glass vase on a table]

CAN YOU SOLVE IT?

Chy: WAIT. That's a little TOO hard!
Rec: Would you like to give up?
Chy: I'd like to know as much about this puzzle as I can!
Rec: Very well. I will read the next section of the pamphlet.
[the receptionist pulls out the pamphlet]
Rec: "This painting shows nothing but one wilted rose in a vase. You will notice every wall in this room looks exactly alike. BUT. One wall is slightly different. The rose will help you figure it out."
Chy: Whoa. Weird.
Zagu: I'm sure we can do this.
[wall A: the one with the painting, also has an engraving of a rose next to the painting, on the wall]
[wall B: engraving of a tulip]
[wall C: engraving of a daisy]
[wall D: engraving of an azalea]
Chy: And... we're supposed to do WHAT?
Rec: Find the hidden doorway.
Chy: Oh. .......weird.
Zagu: Let's figure this out...

CAN YOU SOLVE IT?
