You are a wealthy BARON, the predominant business tycoon of your industry. Endlessly charming and unparalleled in taste, you are locally renowned as a most refined gentleman of respectable urbanity. Success follows you everywhere you go, as do desperate beggars and pining misses alike. Of course, while you like to think of yourself as a busy fellow, standing in your office at the crack of today's dawn, you find yourself abnormally unoccupied.

You simply have top many hats to possibly stack them! If you were to wear them all at once you would no doubt be crushed. You instead like to keep them tightly packed in the cavity of your currently equipped hat, your precious CHARISMA CAP. It's really quite spacious in there. However, you never know which of your countless caps you'll pull out when you reach in, so you think it best for the time being not to shuffle around them aimlessly.

Your fat head can't fit through, but you try taking a peek inside. It's hard to make out details in the darkness, but you can be certain that you have a lot of caps in there.
There's a COPTER CAP, a CLAM CAP, a CRETACEOUS CAP...you aren't even sure what half of these mean, to be honest, but if you can alliteratively name a cap, chances are it's probably stuffed in there somewhere.

Your only real way to draw a cap of your choosing is via your CAP STACHE inventory. All caps are organized in alphabetical order (as useful as that is with items that all begin with the same letter), but considering the sheer quantity of them, pulling a specific hat reliably can be a bit of a gamble.

You aim for your CAPITALISM CAP...
Capitalism....

You pull out the CARBOXYL CAP.

You temporarily ignore the newfound hole in your wall to address what are clearly more pressing matters.
Underneath your desk you find your beloved COMBAT CAP. This is vital to your success in any MANLY BRAWLS you might find yourself entangled in. You store it in your inventory--there's no way you'd keep a hat this powerful in your unreliable CAP STACHE.

You slide the CHEST OF DRAWERS over in search of any goodies it might conceal as well. You find a few more of those inexplicable BIRTHDAY CARDS lurking beneath.

Good idea! You pick up your BattleBargain™ brand PILL PURSE. This should be very useful. Each pill grants simultaneous boon and bane effects. For example, Tickle Wiggle distracts everyone in the vicinity with an overwhelming ticklish sensation, but only as long as you dance like there's no tomorrow.
Unfortunately, most of the pills have pretty silly names and often don't match up with their effects at all. You also at times struggle to distinguish between the nondescript pills.
You'll keep it in your inventory for the moment.

You kick back and revel in a nice, relaxing smoke break. It becomes apparent that the PROPHETIC PIPE™ and TEMPORAL TOBACCO™ have some unorthodox properties. When you use them, your consciousness becomes displaced in time, allowing you to momentarily remember clearly things from the distant past and future as well as the present. You can recall things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass.
Of course the only reason you are privy to these details is because you are now remembering them from the mind of your future self, which, due to your current remembrance, is fully cognizant of such facts. You are remembering remembering how you remembered remembering how you remember, remember?

Perhaps you left it behind your conspiracy board, so move that aside, Clyde!
>>
>>4179090
im confused as to what you mean. left what behind the conspiracy board?
>>
>>4179095

The board where all the strings and thumbtacks are.

>>4175041 Here; it's the criminal underworld board.
>>
>>4179159
I know what you mean there, I just don't understand what the "it" you're looking for behind it is.

>Suddenly realize you have arms. Question this.
>>
>>4179162

I meant flip the board around. If not, check the NPC for vital signs.
>>
>>4178976
check if you have anything in the cabinets you could use to make a meal

>Suddenly realize you have arms.
What arms? You very evidently have equipped in your INTERACTOR SLOT a pair of ARM-SHAPED LEGS. They is so supremely pedal in nature, you could not name a single manual quality applicable to them at all.

>What will you do now?

>>4179250
Obviously can't check the NPC for vital signs if he's locked in the bathroom.

>Check cabinets for ingredients.
You crack open the stovetop cupboard. Looks like you're a bit short on produce at the moment.

>What will you do now?

>>4179296

You know what, I may have just been exhausted when I wrote that one.

>>4179296

Anyways, what are those triangular-shaped thingies above the door?
>>
>>4179718
That's the restroom sign thingy (I don't know if there's a formal term). My fault for not making them clear enough, although it's a low enough resolution that I'm not sure it would be any clearer if I photoshopped a legit picture in.

>>4179996

Search the drawers for a key. That npc needs help!

>The doorknob and the toilet have been swapped! You're gonna have to get inside it you wanna unlock the door and get inside.
No offense, but you really need to start reading the descriptions more closely.

>Search drawers, too.
You narrowly manage to pry yourself away from the beautiful sight. In the top drawer is a PHONOGRAPH RECORD, a SMELLY FRIED EGG, an UNMISTAKABLY NON-TELEVISUAL REMOTE, and a copy of your self-published COOKBOOK.

>What will you do now?

(Thinking of starting a new thread pretty soon by the way)

I blame my eagerness to move to the next conundrum for that. This is probably one of my favorite quests,

Let’s read the cookbook!
>>
>>4180443

On mobile so typing screwed. As I was saying, this is probably one of my favorite quests, but lately I’ve only had time to skim through updates.

Also a restart thread’s a good idea cause 75% of readers don’t sort by last reply.

Plz tell me you archived this artwork.
>>
>>4180448
Yeah, I've got it saved on my computer; I'll probably compile all the updates into a single readable document when I get the chance. As for the second thread, I'm just waiting until I get to a panel that would make a more eye-catching thumbnail so that people don't look past it.
Anyways, the Vigilante shall read the cookbook when I wake up in the morning!
(and thank you for your interest in my quest, I'd recommend checking out Problem Sleuth which was the primary inspiration)
>>
>>4180405
Use water-gun on bathroom door. Obvious problem sleuth reference os obvious

>Read cookbook.
You grab your copy of JUST DESERT and open it to a random page. Contrary to the title, the book is comprised of easy, three-ingredient recipes that can be made with anything lying around the house. Many of them have rather beneficial side-effects too, with some inherent drawbacks of course. You've been selling these recipes to a local startup who incorporates them into their products. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

>>4180670
I'm gonna use this as the first post of the next thread, but since new threads are typically pretty busy and I'm gonna be occupied for the next few hours with something else, I'm gonna wait until I'm done with that until I post it. I'll leave the link to that thread here around 7:30-ish. Anyone who just wants to have regular discussion here until then is welcome to (though I doubt we have enough readers).
>>
>>4181170
Make sure to come back, OP. Phantom Sleuth-likes always die on me.
>>
>>4181965
Worry not, and good timing! I'm just overly neurotic and take forever to write descriptions.

Next thread here:
>>4181972

Decided to go with the titled "BVTL," based on the passcode which will (sort of) be important.
