296 - Enter PORT AUTHORITY


You enter the PORT AUTHORITY BUILDING to see a conversation already in progress.

BUREAUCRAT: But what do you need that bucket of glue for?
CAPTAIN MANBREATH THREEPLANK: No need to worry yourself with that, my good man! It may or may not have something to do with getting the menu from the restaurant so that I can pop the balloons and get the wood stain.
BUREAUCRAT: Why don't you just ask someone for wood stain?
MANBREATH: Wha---just---just ask? You've never dealt with an adventurer before, have you?
BUREAUCRAT: Please leave, Captain. You're quite annoying.
MANBREATH: Oh, I'm sorry! I'll be on my way, then. Goodbye, sir. Please tell goodbye to your little dancing monkey there, too.
BUREAUCRAT: This is my son!
MANBREATH: Oh. Well that's good. I'm fresh out of bananas.

Examine ROOM

Seconded. Is that a monitor on the wall? Is it a hymn board? And, ah-hah! That's where all of these traffic cones are coming from!

Also, greet BUREAUCRAT. Offer to shoot MANBREATH for him.


...what? There's nothing wrong with getting in good with two of the local powers at once, if we can. If the BUREAUCRAT says no, we can do something less drastic... like inform MANBREATH of our desperate need of HEN'S TEETH, for which we will happily exchange a pair of SWALLOW-TRANSPORTED COCONUT SHELLS.

Only one of those filing cabinets is labeled, so maybe the BUREAUCRAT might let Jill store some stuff there?

What's in the red, locked cabinet behind the velvet rope?

Find BALLOONS. Pop BALLOONS with STYLIZER. Get WOOD STAIN.

Cause MANBREATH to ABASE HIMSELF PUBLICLY for the WOOD STAIN.

Jet has a way about her of looking vaguely disappointed at most of the things she sees in this town. She must not like pirates very much.
