Unfortunately, he had a twelfth story office and jumped out the window when the market crashed, leaving his son Orville to build the small family store into a multinational corporation. ~ 0 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8838 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8808 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8839 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8840 S #8826 Utility Hallway~ The walls of this small hallway are tiled in a comfortable peach color. A sign points your way to the restrooms. ~ 0 8 0 E sign~ <--Mens Womens-->~ D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8836 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8808 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8837 S #8827 Sam's Sporting Goods (and bads)~ The scent of fresh vinyl permeates this shop, which is filled with cheap soccer balls. ~ 0 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8808 S #8828 South Parking Lot~ A steady stream of cars runs into and out of the parking lot here, filling Penny Lane past any reasonable semblance of well-mannered traffic. From the south drift the sounds of angry drivers trying to navigate the intersection. The parking lot spreads out in all other directions, and further to the north the low spread of the mall is visible. ~ 0 0 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8801 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8830 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 3139 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8829 S #8829 Southwest Parking Lot~ There are hardly any cars at all in this remote corner of the lot. ~ 0 0 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8832 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8828 S #8830 Southeast Parking Lot~ The endless yellow lines are starting to frighten you. If you stare at them just right, you can almost see secret messages. ~ 0 0 1 E secret messages~ You can't quite make out the secret messages in the yellow lines on the pavement, and your eyes are beginning to hurt.~ D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8831 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8828 S #8831 Northeast Parking Lot~ You finally found it! It's your car! Now all you have to do is find your way out without smashing into that stupid little Neon that keeps zipping around the lot in flagrant violation of conventional parking lot behavior... ~ 0 0 1 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8830 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8801 S #8832 Northwest Parking Lot~ Parking is scarce this close to the mall. This just might be the cause of a vicious fight in the third row between a motorcyclist and a minivan driver... ~ 0 0 1 E fight~ The gist of the argument seems to be that the motorcyclist takes up a full parking space that should rightfully belong to the minivan, but the minivan driver's family tree contains too many sheep and monkeys to allow him anywhere near the mall.~ D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8801 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8829 S #8833 Sub Shop~ This shop is little more than a plexiglas counter hiding large piles of rotten lettuce and lunch meat. ~ 0 8 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8823 S #8834 Chinese Express~ The intoxicating aroma of Meal #63 drifts over the counter of the Chinese Express. Mmm, grease! ~ 0 8 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8823 S #8835 Taco Joe's~ Oddly enough, this is the one restaurant in all of Midgaard where none of the employees speak Spanish. The large wall menu devotes 75% of its space to advertising the new "El Grande" Meatlike Bean Burrito. ~ 0 8 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8823 S #8836 the Men's Room~ In spite of the reek of sanitizer that hangs in the air, this bathroom is filthy. Soggy bits of toilet paper carpet the floor, and it would probably be a bad idea for you to look in the last urinal... ~ 0 8 0 E last urinal~ BLECCHHHH! You gag, choke and finally vomit at the stench. When your eyes clear enough to see, you realize that whatever disgusting thing was here originally, too many curious adventurers have puked all over it for you to identify it.~ D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 8826 S #8837 the Ladies Room~ Whoever was in here last seems to have had an unusual fondness for cheap perfume -- the air is thick with it. The bathroom is filthy to boot; however, most of the stalls have doors on them, and most of the doors close properly, so it can't be all that bad. ~ 0 8 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8826 S #8838 Luggage, shoes and ugly jewelry~ The fact that suitcases, shoes and nasty gold electroplate brooches are all in the same area of the store seems to mystify no one here. Maybe there's some logic to it, after all. ~ 0 8 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 8825 S #8839 Juniors~ This area of the store is filled with short racks full of trendy size-6 clothing. It's the ugliest stuff you've ever seen. ~ 0 8 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 8825 S #8840 Mens~ The conservative men's department looks much like an arctic white out, done over in navy blue and khaki. Cotton Oxford shirts are everywhere, along with high-quality suit coats. ~ 0 8 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 8825 S #0 #SPECIALS M 8802 spec_fido M 8803 spec_guard M 8804 spec_thief M 8805 spec_nasty M 8824 spec_janitor S #RESETS M 0 8800 1 8800 1 G 0 8800 0 G 0 8801 0 G 0 8802 0 M 0 8806 6 8801 6 M 0 8807 6 8801 6 M 0 8802 6 8802 6 E 0 8805 0 0 M 0 8804 6 8803 6 E 0 8804 0 16 M 0 8811 2 8804 2 E 0 8806 0 16 O 0 8828 0 8805 M 0 8824 2 8805 2 G 0 8829 0 M 0 8813 1 8806 1 E 0 8809 0 8 M 0 8809 1 8808 1 E 0 8803 0 16 M 0 8806 6 8808 6 M 0 8807 6 8808 3 M 0 8826 6 8808 3 M 0 8805 6 8809 6 E 0 8805 0 0 E 0 8804 0 16 O 0 8833 0 8810 M 0 8801 6 8811 6 M 0 8822 2 8814 1 E 0 8824 0 6 M 0 8808 1 8815 1 E 0 8834 0 6 M 0 8810 2 8815 2 M 0 8806 6 8815 3 M 0 8807 6 8815 3 M 0 8826 6 8815 3 O 0 8808 0 8816 M 0 8816 1 8816 1 E 0 8815 0 8 M 0 8806 6 8817 6 M 0 8807 6 8817 6 M 0 8814 1 8818 1 G 0 8810 0 G 0 8811 0 G 0 8812 0 G 0 8813 0 G 0 8814 0 G 0 8816 0 M 0 8815 3 8819 1 M 0 8815 3 8820 1 M 0 8815 3 8821 1 M 0 8801 6 8823 3 M 0 8804 6 8824 6 E 0 8805 0 0 O 0 8827 0 8826 M 0 8818 1 8827 1 M 0 8819 1 8827 1 E 0 8823 0 7 E 0 8826 0 17 O 0 8825 0 8831 M 0 8817 1 8833 1 G 0 8817 0 G 0 8818 0 G 0 8819 0 M 0 8820 1 8834 1 E 0 8832 0 16 G 0 8820 0 G 0 8821 0 G 0 8831 0 M 0 8821 1 8835 1 G 0 8822 0 M 0 8823 1 8836 1 M 0 8825 1 8840 1 E 0 8830 0 7 S #SHOPS 8800 0 0 0 0 0 150 100 0 23 8814 0 0 0 0 0 150 100 0 23 8817 0 0 0 0 0 100 100 0 23 8820 0 0 0 0 0 150 100 0 23 8821 0 0 0 0 0 100 100 0 23 0 #MOBPROGS #0 #$
