___________________________________________________________________________________________________
INTRO

Exit the van.
DAY 1
“I knew who I was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times since then.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
FIND OUT WHERE YOU ARE
Car park
Outside there’s no sign of Brian & you note that this is not where the van was parked last night before you fell asleep.
See police on the other side of the railings. Listen to their conversation.
Enter the van. Pick up the clothes to get a pile of clothes in inventory, & then look at them to see that you have a school uniform. Interact with the pile of clothes to change into them.
Find yourself outside the van.
Enter the van, pick up the hanger then exit the van again.
Try to enter through the back entrance. It’s currently locked but you can hear people chattering inside.
Interact with the gate but that’s locked too.
Side of School
Try to enter through the door.
See that one of the windows is slightly open. (You might be able to enter through the window or it may be stuck.)
Look at the blue flame car & the red fiesta. Look at the old car which is a 1982 sedan. See that the boot is partially open. Use the hand icon to rummage through it. You see an empty bottle of weed-killer.

FIX YOUR MOOD
While you’re at the gate you may get an alert e.g. MIGHT JOIN AN EMO BAND on a gadget that appears in the top right corner of the screen. The sight of the police has lowered your mood.

If you choose to ACT instructions will appear on the screen.
Click on START, then click & drag the lily pads labelled with the relevant thoughts onto Okarin your koi fish to encourage him towards the centre of the stream.
Retry if necessary until your mood is BUSINESS AS USUAL.
EXPLORE THE SCHOOL
Side of School
There doesn’t seem to be any other way into the school so try to enter through the window again.
(N.B Depending on what order you do things in you may find it possible to enter through the back entrance)
If the window’s stuck, interact with the portable mask in inventory to separate the rubber mask from the upgraded stick.

THE COMPLETED MANIFESTO
We marched all night, not me for rest, so
We now present our manifesto
Do we have your full attention?
Or will you throw us in detention? (Stephen - stalls/gym)
We do no fear you, either way
And here is what we have to say
Our first demand is plain to see
Our school tuition should be free (Clive – stalls/gym)
The current fees are fucking shite
We’re begging you to set this right
These greedy fat cats getting rich (Potheads - art room)
Are giving us the right to bitch (Kevin & Shilling – gym/stage)
As for our second demand
We ask you for a helping hand
To make us try our very best
Let final tests be self-assessed (Denim group - changing room)
We’d take our futures in our hands (Brody - backstage)
If we could grade our own exams
The third demand within this song
School weekends should be four days long
There are more life lessons out of school (Taylor & Cressida - cafeteria)
Then we could learn under your rule
We’re worried we’re not strong enough
And the school of hard knocks makes you tough
And finally our last demand
Buck down and let us take a stand
We will not take a second more
Of prejudice against the poor (Role-players - sports hallway)
Old-fashioned social class disputes
Have no place in our institutes
We’ll rise above it, make the grade
We’ll show you we aint gonna quit
This song is like a hate grenade
And we don’t have to take your shit
Student Lounge
Talk to the radical think tank (Drake, Taylor, Martin, Kevin & Roger).
Hallway (library)
Now seems to be a good time to ring your Uncle Vincenzo. You tell him that you borrowed money from the wrong people & go on to tell him about the idea that you & Brian had.
FLASHBACK 1: THE WILD WEB CAFE
Kayleigh & Brian arrive on a street corner in Soho. Kayleigh is ‘dressed up to the nines’ ready to attend a charity benefit event.
You need to get enough money to pay Jono back tonight. Brian gives you ten pounds which should be enough for a 1 hour pass.
Look at Brian to learn that he’s Kayleigh’s brother.
Look at the van. It looks like a tradesman’s van. Look at the van again to see a sign in the back window for “The Flush Busters”.
Interact with the phone booth. Take the posters to put into your inventory: naughty poster, french maid poster,
buddha poster, finger poster, chakras, english A-levels, christian au pair poster & glamour model announcement.
Exit the phone booth.
Enter the Wild Web Cafe. (Recognise some people Kayleigh hasn’t met yet).
Talk to Donovan to buy a pass. He tells you that all of the computers are being used. The two free ones are waiting to be fixed.
Kebabs are half-price with every purchase.
Talk to the patrons:
The boy (Drake), using the printer, assumes you’re a student at St Christopher’s. If you confirm this he gives you a free drink ticket & tells you that the concert begins in a couple of hours.
The blue-haired girl (Cressida) is chatting to her boyfriend in Vienna & will be ages.
The chav girl (Kiera) is talking to someone on her phone while surfing. Ask her about the picture. It was taken of her while she was drunk & has been uploaded by her ex boyfriend Greg. She’s not leaving the computer until the picture has been taken down. You learn of a classified web page dedicated to the gossip at St Christopher’s School.
The toddler (charming child!) is eating a kebab but tells you that there’s nothing tasty on it. Talk to him again. He tells you that he’s with his babysitter & points to Kiera.
The guy (Hornby) in the corner booth is looking at pictures of glamour girl Pinky Bustierre & has no intention of leaving just yet.
Luigi, sat at the left computer desk, is playing euchre. He’s on a winning streak today & it’s unlikely that he’ll be done soon.
Look at him & see from the logo on the back of his work suit that he works for a plumbing company. The logo matches the one on the van outside.
TO FREE-UP A COMPUTER
There are 3 ways but you can choose you to free-up all 3 computers if you want!
METHOD 1:
Exit the cafe, look at the van again to see a phone number. Interact with the phone booth & click on the telephone to call the plumbing company. Exit the phone booth & enter the Wild Web Cafe to find Luigi gone.
METHOD 2:
Look at each of the posters from the phone booth in inventory. Interact with the glamour model announcement to see on the back that Pinky Bustierre is one of the girls who will be signing autographs all day. Give this poster to Hornby.
METHOD 3:
Try to interact with the condiments (in the bottom right-hand corner). Talk to Donovan & buy a kebab. You’re left with eight pounds.
Interact with the condiments again. Look at the ketchup bottle to see that the label is a little loose.
Pick up the ketchup & hot sauce. In inventory interact with the ketchup to remove the label.
Combine the label with the hot sauce to get hot sauce with label.
*Give the hot sauce with label to the the toddler. [4] See what happens!
Interact with the free computer.
INTERNET RESEARCH:

Otherwise click on the pictures on the homepage to read the information in each of the 3 sections. Use the left arrow at the top of the computer screen to return to the home page.
