  Rubble and debris fill the back half of the bathroom. At least one pipe burst in the collapse, and water sprays steadily across the room to bounce off a stall door and pool on the ugly cream-and-black tiles.
  
  George stands looking miserable with his hands in the pockets of his too-big pants.
  
  Keiko is here, leaning heavily on a lacrosse stick.
  
  You can also see a pair of safety scissors here.
  
  > get George
  You take George's hand. "Stay with me," you say.
  
  > get Keiko
  You reach for Keiko's free hand, but she says, "No, I need my hand for balance. I'll just follow you."
  (If you don't want Keiko to follow you, try KEIKO, SIT.)
  
  > go to the east
  You get to your feet with the help of a nearby wall.
  
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  The failing fluorescent lights illuminate a kid-height drinking fountain in the south wall. The boys' bathroom is to the east and the girls' bathroom is to the west, both marked with Happy Hygiene signs reminding everyone about handwashing.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  Ashley is sitting here fiddling with the damaged hem of her skirt.
  
  The fire alarms flash and shrill monotonously.
  
  There's a wet spot growing on the carpet near the door to the girls' room.
  
  You can also see a small rubber wedge here.
  
  Keiko hobbles into the hall.
  
  > sit
  You say, "Keiko, please have a seat."
  
  Keiko sits down carefully, keeping her weight entirely off her bad
  leg.
  
  Ashley approaches Keiko with her eyes averted. "Kiki, I'm sorry I ran away. I didn't mean to, I was scared, I'm sorry."
  
  Keiko says, "If I could've run away, I would have run too. It's all right - we're good."
  
  Keiko reaches up to Ashley, and they exchange a hug.
  
  > Go north
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  Emily's former classroom is to the north, marked with a construction paper sign reading "Ms. Wagner's room - Come In!" To the south, there's an alcove that splits off toward the bathrooms. The hallway continues to the east and west, decorated with inexpertly drawn
  posters about When I Grow Up.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  The fire alarms flash and shrill monotonously.
  
  > Go west
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  The wall buckled a bit here, but didn't collapse entirely - unlike to the west, where outright wreckage is visible by the gym entrance. Colorful leaf rubbings and magazine mosaics hang drunkenly off their moorings.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  The door to your classroom hangs open on its twisted doorframe.
  
  The fire alarms flash and shrill monotonously.
  
  > Go west
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  The air reeks of smoke and chemicals. To the south, two large double doors lead into the gymnasium. Mrs. McCaskill's classroom used to be accessible to the north, but there's no going that way now.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  The fire alarms flash and shrill monotonously.
  
  > go south
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  The elderly gymnasium looks relatively unscathed. Since this room doubles as an auditorium, stacked bleachers line the north wall. The open door to the equipment room is west, and the locker room is south. The double doors leading back to the hallway are north.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  Blue exercise mats are piled to one side, arranged around a balance beam, and scattered over the floor.
  
  You can also see Mr. Lewis's gym keys, a blue exercise mat, and a pommel horse here.
  
  > Go south
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  Heavy wooden benches separate long rows of battered green gym lockers. Everything smells like old socks in here. The coach's office is over to the east, and the gym is back to the north.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  The gym office door is open.
  
  Samir is standing nearby with his hands stuffed in his pockets.
  
  Tyrone stands with his arms folded across his pint-sized chest.
  
  Jude is here, clinging to Mr. Bunny.
  
  A old boombox sits quietly on one of the wooden benches.
  
  You can also see a deodorant spray bottle and a broken ponytail holder here.
  
  > Go east
  You are holding George's hand, so he follows you.
  
  Mr. Lewis's office is sparsely furnished in cement and metal. There's a massive steel desk against the left wall and a row of coat hooks on the other side. The one framed poster shows two basketball players colliding in an explosion of sweat. Everything reeks of old body
  odor, and, of course, George.
  
  George is here, holding hands with you.
  
  The gym office door is open.
  
  There's a black wire wastebasket beside the desk.
  
  > look at wastebasket
  It's a basic black wire wastebasket.
  
  In the black wire wastebasket are some pair of soggy pants.
  
  > examine the desk
  (the massive steel desk)
  It's quite a cut above Jenny McCaskill's, but you can also see why she wouldn't want this steel behemoth. You could probably hide under this successfully during DEFCON 2.
  
  The desk drawer is open.
  
  > look under the desk
  (the massive steel desk)
  You find nothing of interest.
  
  > look in the drawer
  The desk drawer is empty.
  
  > wear the pants
  (the pair of black slacks)
  You're already wearing those!
  
  > Examine poster
  One of the basketball players is white, and one is black, but you
  don't know much about basketball and you can't recognize either one. Their faces are contorted with effort as one lunges for the ball and the other struggles to keep it away. The lettering underneath reads, "You better SWEAT!"
  
  > get the soggy pants
  You ask, "George, could you please grab the pants from that wastebasket?"
  
  George says, "No, I don't need those pants now!"
  
  > get the wastebasket
  You ask, "George, can you please take that wastebasket?"
  
  George heaves at the black wire wastebasket before giving up, disappointed. "I can't, it's too heavy for me!"
