[X] Examine PORTRAIT OF A RED-HAIRED GIRL.
This is definitely the SAME RED-HAIRED GIRL as you saw on the PORTRAIT in the CLOCK ROOM. She looks so... stuck-up and snobbish, wearing a condescending expression as if she views the painter with utter contempt. God, you want to punch this girl, even if you haven't met her.
Writing on the wall said:
who is she? i don't know. looks like the particles man, red girl, red man. his daughter? she looks unfriendly. stop watching me. stop, lady. rude.
[X] Take and DFD the records
If you were aware of MECHANICAL ABSTRACTIONS, you would protest that your INVENTORY was FULL. As is, you just decide to put down some of this STUFF you've been carrying. You CAREFULLY PILE the JOURNAL, CLOCK ROOM DRAWER KEY, SCREWDRIVER, and LONG-HANDLED NET in a corner of the room. You can always come and get them if you need them again, after all.
The CLASS MACHINATION [DEDUCTION FOR DUMMIES] has been activated!
The RECORDS are unmarked, and the careful examining of a JUNIOR SLEUTH tells you that they're also BLANK.
[X] Take the portrait off the wall
[X] DFD the PORTRAIT OF A RED-HAIRED GIRL.
You take the PORTRAIT OF A RED-HAIRED GIRL off the wall, resisting the urge to PUNCH it. Behind it is an ALCOVE containing a CAMERA. Hello there.
The CLASS MACHINATION [DEDUCTION FOR DUMMIES] has been activated!
On the back of this portrait are a few notes of sheet music: five notes this time, C, A, G, E, and D. They're labelled 'Movement 2'
The books are all RATHER TEDIOUS-LOOKING ACADEMIC TOMES on matters of THEOLOGY and PHILOSOPHY. Most of them are filled with
RED MARKER SCRIBBLES - my, the person who holds that writing utensil has really been industrious. The only books that stand out from the rest are a HOLY BIBLE and a book that looks NEWER than the others - a book on ASTRONOMY by a Dr. Charles Brighton
[X] EXAMINE the GLASS DISPLAY CASE it was hanging above before we took it.
There's a small space between the GLASS LID and the BASE of the DISPLAY CASE - it looks like if you had a CROWBAR or something similar you would be able to FORCE IT OPEN. Inside the GLASS DISPLAY CASE is a ROUND PLATE bearing a
JUPITER SYMBOL.
Writing on the wall said:
what do they make the glass out of why make glass so strong when they could use steel. trick question, trick question, want you to see it, a reward for good lab rats. i'm a rat, you're a rat, now run down the maze or get shocked little rat
Thanks.
[X] Examine/DFD SOME SORT OF MACHINE
The MACHINE seems to a VINYL PRESS, for RECORDING MUSIC on RECORDS. Isn't that cool! You can't remember ever having seen one of these, but given your LOVE OF MUSIC, just seeing one cheers you up a little. [+5 ÉLAN]
Writing on the wall said:
here it is. the small machine that makes the music. wow.
It's small - at least, as small as a PIPE ORGAN can get. There's a stool to sit at, and the usual rows of keys. Nothing really OUT OF THE ORDINARY-LOOKING about it. There is a space for SHEET MUSIC - two spaces, in fact, with the left one being marked MOVEMENT 2 and the second being marked MOVEMENT 1.

[X] Examine LARGE SILVER PADLOCK
The LARGE SILVER PADLOCK is LARGE and SILVER. You feel like you might need a KEY of some sort to open it, but that might just be you jumping to conclusions.
