Bathroom/Story

**After Clicking the Bathroom Lock**

Maddie: There! Got the door open with the crowbar!

Maddie: Now, to see where that water is coming fro-

Maddie: Oh NO!

Maddie: Nonononono!

Maddie: Gosh darn it, does anything work in this mansion?!

Butler: I see you have a leak, ma'am...

Maddie: Jeez, what gave you that idea?!

Butler: Sarcasm will not be of much use, I'm afraid...

Butler: May I recommend that you call a plumber instead, ma'am?

Maddie: \*Sigh\* I think you're right...

**After 1 Dry the Floor**

Ash: Boy, you weren't kiddin'! You got a gusher here!

Maddie: I know! You must be Ash. Is there anything you can do?

Ash: Of course there is! They don't call me The Plumber for nuthin'!

Ash: Now, let's take a closer look!

(animation of Ash slipping and falling down on his back)

Ash: ..Oww! I'm okay, I'm okay! But, just in case, could you call an ambulance?

**After 2 Fix the Leak**

Ash: So! Where were we?

(Ash now has a cast on his left leg and has a crutch under his right arm)

Maddie: Are you sure you're alright? That fall looked painful. And your leg…

Ash: Oh this? Pfff... This always happens! There ain't a bone in my body I haven't sacrificed for the line of duty!

Maddie: R-Really? Is plumbing that dangerous?

Ash: Come to think of it, not really, no. Funny that! Aaanyhoo, let's get to work!

**After 5 Dry the Floor**

Maddie: Hmm, I might as well start fixing a few things here before Ash returns!

Maddie: It shouldn't be too hard, right? I've got this!

**After 16 Dry the Floor**

Ash: You'll find all the tools you'll need in my tool bag.

Maddie: Hmm... These tools look a bit... weird.

Ash: How much do you know about plumbing?

Maddie: Well... not really that much, I suppose.

Ash: Then how do you know what REAL plumbing tools look like?!

Maddie: But... some of these look like toys.

Ash: To the untrained eye, perhaps. But these tools are what the MASTERS use.

**After 18 Remove Damp Floor Tiles**

Ash: Maddie, I have a bit of a favor to ask you.

Maddie: What kind of favor?

Ash: Well, see, the thing is... I might have booked another job at the same time as yours.

Maddie: Really?! Another plumbing job?

Ash: Umm... more like some garden work for my aunt.

Ash: I noticed you have a bunch of cool gardening equipment here. Mind helping me out?

Maddie: Alright. But, only because you're injured!

Ash: You're the best! I guarantee that it'll be worth it!

**After 19 Cut Some Floor Planks**

Maddie: There was a lot of colorful duct tape in your bag!

Ash: And each one has a purpose, trust me.

Maddie: But what's the difference? Color doesn't change the tensile strength-

Ash: Hey... Do not mock the bands, okay? I have a system. If you want to learn how to fix your leaky plumbing, listen to the expert!

Maddie: Okay, okay.

**After 48 Fix the Leak**

Maddie: Oh no! Another leak! But, explain to me again why I'm doing all the work?

Ash: It's like this, see... I offer a different type of service. While other plumbers FIX your problem, I do something far more valuable.

Ash: Offer knowledge! While we, meaning you, fix the problem, you will learn at the same time how to fix future problems. It's my guarantee!

Maddie: I see... So, if this springs a leak again, I'll be able to fix it on my own?

Ash: Exactly! Of course, I'll send you a small bill afterward, for using the knowledge I've given you...

Maddie: What?!

Ash: Ha! Just kidding! Pass me the wrench, will ya? Let me help you out a bit...

**After 55 Fix the Leak**

Ash: You know... I'm a HUGE fan of Skatie Katie!

Maddie: Oh?

Ash: Yeah, I love skateboarding, so she's sort of an idol to me. She invented them after all.

Ash: So, when you called, I couldn't pass up the chance to visit the old home of Skatie Katie!

Maddie: If you want, after all this, I can show you her beach house?

Ash: REALLY? That would be so cool!

**After 56 Dry the Water**

Maddie: \*Ring Ring\*

Maddie: Hello?

Victoria: Maaaaggie! I'm just calling to see how things are coming along? Swimmingly, I hope?

Maddie: It's Maddie! Wait... Victoria!? Are you behind this?!

Victoria: Behind what?! Can't I be concerned for my fellow citizens? I certainly hope you're not drowning in trouble like you are in debt?

Maddie: Oh, don't you worry...

Victoria: I'm not! A word of advice... Don't let your time slip away! A-hahahahaa!

Maddie: \*Click\*

**After 57 Dry the Water**

Ash: You got some real straaange piping in here, if you ask me…

Maddie: What? What do you mean?

Ash: Look at this! It's glass tubing, not really meant for water, but I guess it's been repurposed.

Maddie: Hmmm... Almost looks like an old pneumatic post system! I think I even see a letter inside!

Ash: But, why would a house have one of these? A mansion full of mysteries, indeed.

Maddie: Let's try to get the letter out!

**After 58 Break the Tube to Get the Letter Out**

Maddie: Hey! It blew the letter away. I wanted to read that.

Ash: Maybe you should find where these tubes lead? I'm sure there should be a collection point somewhere?

Maddie: True, it could be in another room...

**After 61 Screw the Floor Planks Back**

Maddie: What do you know about Victoria?

Ash: This must have been about two-three months ago, right? I was at their place, installing a new guest jacuzzi and-

Maddie: Guest jacuzzi?

Ash: Shhh! So I was wrenching the main pump into place again because the pressure of the water feed was too low see, and-

Maddie: And Victoria...

Ash: ... AND Victoria and her husband Bruno, the mayor, were having this HUUUGE fight.

Maddie: Mayor Bruno is her husband?!

Ash: Shhh! So there I was, wrenching -

Maddie: You said that part already!

Ash: Oh right, the fight! She was yelling about overstepping boundaries, he went on about the credit card. It was mad. Just like on reality TV!

Maddie: Then what happened?!

**After 63 Add the Floor Tiles Back**

Maddie: Did the fight get worse?

Ash: Well, Victoria got REAL angry, started throwing stuff around. Almost hit me in the head with a cue ball!

Ash: Bruno calmed her down, saying he had some sort of plan that'll get them out of trouble. Something to do with a... Buford Hall?

Maddie: Beaumont Hall?!

Ash: Yes, thats it! Said he had BIG plans for it, and he's put things in motion to make sure it all works out.

Ash: It took the better part of the day to fully calm her down. Once she gets going, she doesn't stop! So, watch out!

Maddie: Why would the mayor and Victoria have plans for our mansion?!

**After 79 Make it Shine**

Ash: Wow! What a bombshell!

Maddie: She is quite beautiful.

Ash: Actually, she looks a bit like you!

Maddie: What? No, she... Wait a minute...

Maddie: Grandma?!

**After 89 Place Fixed Rug**

Maddie: The floor was pretty cold, but nothing a nice warm rug can't fix!

Ash: Ooh, that's very comfy...

**After 97 Assisting Ash**

Maddie: What do you need wax for?

Ash: Oh, it's for my aunt's um... garden shed?

Maddie: Oh right, makes sense!

**After 101 Assisting Ash**

Maddie: A tape measure? Are you installing something?

Ash: Y-yes?

Ash: My aunt needs a grand display for her garden!

Maddie: Oh, sounds nice!

**After 112 Assisting Ash**

Ash: Thanks for all the hard work, Maddie!

Ash: I'm sure you- I mean my aunt will appreciate it!

Maddie: Sure thing! There were some strange requests though…

**After 121 Fix the Toilet Seat**

Maddie: Well... I have a golden toilet now.

Ash: May it serve you well.

**After 128 Place Fixed Sink Pipes**

Maddie: Phew! That was a lot more complicated than I thought!

Ash: But you did good, Maddie! Real good.

Maddie: I even avoided mixing up the different colored pipes this time!

Ash: See? You're learning!

**After 135 Plant a New Plant**

Ash: Alright! Almost done. Just one last thing left!

Maddie: What do you mean?

Ash: Well... I gotta come clean with you. My leg doesn't feel too bad anymore, but you were so eager to help that I didn't dare stop you.

Ash: So, I have a surprise for you!

Maddie: A surprise?!

Ash: Yeah, but it'll take some time. Come back in a few hours!

Maddie: Hmmm. Wonder what it is?!

**After 136 Place Bathtub Jacuzzi**

Ash: Tadaa!

Maddie: Is that a jacuzzi?!

Ash: Sure is, luxury model of my own design! Just like the one Victoria has. Er- had.

Maddie: You designed this yourself?

Ash: Yep, and remember when I said she overspent the credit card? Well, her payment bounced and she owed me.

Ash: My finest work and I wasn't going to be paid?! I went over there to get what was lawfully mine. Which in turn is now...

Ash: Yours. Couldn't think of a more deserving person!

Maddie: So this was what you were working on! I'm guessing there was no aunt? Ash! I... I don't know what to say?!

Ash: Haha! A thank you will do for now, but just don't forget to pay the bill!

Ash: \*Wink\*
