"What the raisin treebranch driftwood are you doing?"
"I need to see if they're alligators or crocodiles!"
"Stop! Just... stop. They're crocodiles, alright?"
"But how do you—?"
"THEY JUST ARE! SIT DOWN! It doesn't matter! How could that POSSIBLY matter? Let's open the freakin' bag."
You slump to the floor, nod, and catch your breath.
He opens it by loosening the string, and you crane your neck to find out what's in it.
The metal plate is cracked and unreadable.
Among the personal belongings are low-value coins from a various countries, a domino mask, a plushie that could really be anything at this point, a A 9×19mm Walther P99 with two bullets, an old smartphone (sadly, it's out of power), a screenplay entitled 'Rile 'em Asylum', and a Graphic Design textbook with beautiful drawings drawn in most of the margins.
What now?

They were probably alligators.
Does Decider seem a bit...angry to you, Crow? Was he like that before?

Oh. He's just stressed out.
Maybe we should fire off that gun into the water, remove the temptation... What you think?

Or we could just keep it. Guns are an effective weapon.

So, what'll it be? Remove the temptation? Keep it?

Let's both keep a bullet and flip a coin for the gun.

You empty out the two bullets from the gun.
"What are you...?"
"Here's a bullet. Don't spend it all at once."
"What? I—"
"Let's flip a coin for the gun."
"Is this some kind of... suicide pact?"
"No, I just want to divvy out this fairly. There are two bullets, but we can't both take half..."
"O—No. I can't take the gun; I might use it. I trust you, I guess. For now."
What do you do?

Oh, cool.
Let him keep the bullets, then.

"Fine, you keep the bullets, and I'll—"
"Look, if the bullets aren't in the gun, all it amounts to is you have one big piece of useless metal, and I'll have two small useless pieces of metal. It also makes it so there's an incentive to kill us both in order to get an operational weapon. Either throw it in the sewer and hide the bullets, or just load the gun, put the safety on, and take it with you. I know you already have a sword, and I don't care."
What do you do?

The problem isn't that we have a gun, the problem is how easily someone could else could steal it. Given what's already happened to some people. But if he's gonna be a b**** about it, we'll find someone else.
Ask him to describe the thing he need in as much detail as possible. If it fits, mention the one in the sewer.

The boomer.
When I think Cthulhu, I think icosahedron.
That thing we saw doesn't fit the description of the bomb, but my gut says they may be related.

"So... about that bomb... can you... describe it? The sewer—"
"The sewer's probably Bubbles' secret area. I'm guessing you saw a part that was sectioned off that you would have to get in another way, right?"
"Yeah..."
"As for the bomb... it was like some kinda hexagon box thing with mystical runey things on it, changing colour quickly with a digital timer on it. See anything like that down there?"
"No."
"There you go, then."
What now?

...The table was weird, not the... Whatever. Check the rest of the stalls and whatnot, then head out to the main room and line up all the plates.

You decide to check around the stalls in the women's, and Decider resumes searching the Men's.
Success! You find May's four-wheeled ridable suitcase in a cabinet under the sink, and go out and tell Decider.
You move to go into the men's, but the door swings open. "Check out what was in the Janitor's clos—hey, you found one too! Nice work!"
"That briefcase is Mu's, right? Who does that leave?"
"Allure's. Last one is always the hardest, huh? ...Actually, I can think of a place we haven't checked yet."
You follow him, without asking where you're going. There's no real point in asking, you'll get there anyway, and there seems to be a reason he wanted to search there last.
. . .
Ohhhhh.
He took you 'outside'. The ceiling is rounded, with clouds somehow slowly travelling across it.
The aeroplanes aren't visible from here. You wouldn't be able to get to them from here, either. The runway in the distance is clearly two dimensional.
In front of you, is an electrified chain-link fence with barbed wire covering the top. On the fence is a large sign with a picture of an aeroplane taking off.
Danger
Blasts of air from jet engines arriving and departing can cause death or dismemberment.
Proceed with caution.
Behind the fence, you can see a few small, but car-sized, jets moving back and forth.
There is absolutely no way that there is no luggage over there.
What do you do?

Well, step one is the fence... And step 1-1 is the electrification. Look for a transformer or fusebox or shutoff switch or something that might be powering it.

You search for a fusebox, or equivalent. There's one on the other side of the fence, attached to one of the poles.
What now?

Huuuunh. If this were a video game, the answer would just be to shoot it, but I doubt that would work...
How feasible is stacking the other luggage high enough to jump over?

"Do you think we could stack the suitcases and climb over?"
"I... doubt it. You'd need to make a staircase, and... it's like ten bags high. Whatcha got on you?"
"Coins, a drill, my awesome sword, the gun, the magic magnifying glass..."
"Right, and we've got the rope-chain combo. Could you not just stab through the wooden post? The box itself can't be electrified, right?"
"There's electrified wiring around it and adjacent to it, it'd be difficult to stab through it without getting shocked."
"How conductive is the sword?"
"I don't really know..."
What do you do?

I don't suppose the chain's comically long enough to connect the fence with the sewer water?
