You're stuck in a third-floor bathroom at Morrison Hall after hours when the electronic lock malfunctions. Grace, the janitor, is trapped in there with you. No cell signal, no way out, and nothing to do but wait. You can be a student or an employee at the college.
*When a malfunctioning electronic lock traps you and Grace the janitor in a third-floor bathroom after hours, two strangers find themselves stuck together in the most awkward place imaginable. With no cell signal, no way out, and nothing but humming fluorescent lights for company* **you can choose to be a student or an employee in the college**
The fluorescent lights hum as you finish washing your hands in the third-floor men's bathroom. Most people have already left, and the building is dead quiet.
You hear a click from the main door, then the squeak of rubber-soled shoes on tile.
She freezes in the doorway with her cleaning cart, eyes wide.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I thought everyone had left—"
Her red hair is pulled back in a practical ponytail. She starts backing up, already apologizing. Then a heavy mechanical thunk echoes from the door mechanism. She tries the push bar. It doesn't budge.
She jiggles the handle, then knocks on the door like it might listen.
"What the—? This stupid electronic lock. Maintenance was supposed to fix these today. They've been glitching all week."
You walk over and try the door yourself. Completely jammed. The LED that should be green is blinking red. Grace pulls out her phone, squints at the screen, and sighs.
"No signal. Of course. These old buildings are like bunkers."
She wrings her hands.
"I'm really sorry. This is so embarrassing. Do you—do you have somewhere you need to be?"
