Casting, tailor, painter, forty doors
GameSpew’s arts list is A Strong St-Art, Casting a Wide Net, Suit Yourself, Pop Un-lock and Drop It, Chortkoff’s Gun, Death of an Artist, A Monumental Discovery and The First Chamber. Pretty Rough casts Phoebe Geebys, Brenda Flops, Garth Dolomew and Vincent VanStop. Got the Stuff casts Link Lockin, Edie Quill, Debra Cadabra and Tyler Vo. I kept the two casts apart because they are different scenes.
The record player sequence is stop, pause, play, fast forward, stop, rewind. The four dances are Cipherston, Lockbox Step, Clue-pid Shuffle and Escape Vine. Death of an Artist names Bertrand Solverson, cabinet 4069, address 30 Arson Avenue, a knife, and portraits of an atom, a medal and a wand. The forty doors read OLIVE, RUBY, BROWN, VIOLET, WHYTE before the statue word UNMASK.
The first chamber’s odd-one-out is 2-5-4-3-5. The honey, wine, ink and oil step is a color order you record as you pour. The write-ups do not print a stable color string, so I am not inventing one.
