>Perfect. No one will ever know.
Nan, satisfied with her work, continues down the hall to room 117.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61384
Nan turns around, but only catches a quick glimpse of the young man before he retreats into his room, closing the door fast.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61392
>Move along to 117.
Nan briefly considers knocking on the door of the stranger, but she's awfully shy. She wouldn't know what to say. She doesn't even know what she'd want to say.

She reaches room 117, and pulls out the key she took from behind the main desk.

 

[bladesworn]

Nan knocks, but there's no answer from the room.

 

[bladesworn]

Nan steps into room 117.

>Pick up the candy from the pillow that's always there waiting for new inhabitants.
There's no little mint on the pillow! What kind of crass establishment is this?
If Nan wasn't already pretty full from pizza she'd be even more upset. Still, it would have helped get rid of pizzabreath.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61419
>Now let's get to work on that outlet
Good thinking.
But this reminds Nan of a puzzle: which outlet is in need of repairs? If she replaces the wiring on the wrong one, it'll be wasted time. And if she tries one to test it, and it's the one that needs repairs, incomplete wiring could cause an electrical fire!

Using all the information you have already, you should be able to solve this!

But which way is east?

 

[bladesworn]

>>61438
>The sun was rising behind the hotel. It is currently to the right.
Nan considers that if the sun was rising behind the hotel, and she's been going further and further back in it, then she's been heading East. Therefore East must be to the right of this room.
She moves the small stand and sure enough, there's another outlet on that wall.

Now for one final question.
Did the order mean "east-facing" as in "on the West wall" (facing east?) or "on the East wall" (when facing east)?

 

[bladesworn]

>>61444
>Check behind the dresser
There is another outlet here as well.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61453
>That one looks funny. LOGICALLY it is the broken one.
Nan sees what appears to be scorch marks around the outlet and decides this must be the one. She gets to work replacing the wiring (wearing safety gloves of course!) and the job appears pretty straightforward after all.

 

[bladesworn]

Nan turns around, but there's clearly nobody there.

 

[bladesworn]

Nan shrugs and continues her work.
She wonders why she assumed anyone was there. Clearly the room is empty.

The socket is pretty much repaired. Nan puts the finishing touches on it and replaces the outlet cover.

 

[bladesworn]

That didn't take long.

>>61482
>Shove the cabinet back in place.
Nan replaces the dresser.

>>61479
>Lay on the bed and close your eyes.
Nan relaxes after a job well done.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61487
>Practice your ABILITY TO HUM SHOWTUNES.
Seeing as how it hasn't been 30 minutes yet, Nan decides to practice her showtune-humming. After all, she's gotta stand out somehow

 

[bladesworn]

>>61492
>Open your eyes and act surprised.
Nan acts surprised. For some reason.

 

[bladesworn]

Nan feels an odd urge to explore the bathroom.
But at the same time, it's probably been about 30 minutes.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61506
>Was it Eastern outlet or outlets? The job order wasn't too clear. It's worth checking if the bathroom has one, wouldn't want to do an incomplete job.
Nan investigates the bathroom, but it only has outlets on the North wall.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61514
>>61515
>Maybe there's an outlet behind the shower curtain?
It's possible they have a specialty outlet installed in the shower itself. Nan checks.

 

[bladesworn]

>>61519
>All right then, time to get paid.

Her job successfully complete, Nan heads back to the concierge's desk to pick up her fat check for easy work.
