Night 1

Night #1 Tape Recording, June 15:
Hey! Welcome to your first night working at the X. N. Trik Museum...woah, I just realized how weird that sounds out loud. I was the previous night guard who worked in that office, but I...um...quit, and then they hired you. Hold on a sec, but, I noticed you had a poster for Rascal Raccoon in there; I like him, too! Anyway, To help you each night, I’ll record a message on this tape recorder, so don’t worry. All you gotta do is carry this around and listen to it. I know your job is new and you don’t know anything about the museum, so I’ll fill you in with everything you need to know: okay, so this museum is filled with...how should I put this...hand-made exhibits created by the guy they named the museum after, Xavier Norton Trik. Uh, Mr. Xavier was a bit, um, crazy.

Exactly one year ago from today, he was assassinated by an unknown killer, as a matter of fact. So the town decided to take all his inventions and stuff and make a museum for them out of his former house, and yatta yatta yatta, boring stuff, boring stuff...there you have it, the awful past of this place. Eh, I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you, ‘cause I didn’t when I heard about those rumors.

Have you noticed the signs around the museum that say stuff like “night watch doors open 2 A.M.”? Well, every hour or so, one or two of those doors in the ceiling opens up, and another one or two of them closes. This is so the exhibits don’t wander into the wrong places at the wrong times during your shift each night.

Uh, a little bit more info about the exhibits in the museum, speaking of which. In the daytime they move and interact with the museum visitors, and at night...the staff lets them walk around so their moving parts don’t lock up. Well, except for the cafe guys with Saffron; they don’t move at night for some reason. So, the non-stationary ones sort of just wander the museum during your shift, which is why it covers all nighttime hours.

Also, did you notice those camera monitors in the office? About those...since the exhibits move, you can keep an eye on them in there as an alternative to patrolling the museum yourself.

One more thing, um, use that flashlight of yours wisely, because the battery runs out quickly. Good luck, and keep a close watch on everything! I know you’ll do just fine!
