The grass knots are small, 10 centimeters across, in such a way that people's feet get caught in it. There are a ton of them, in a semicircle perimeter.

You head to the center and search around, extensively. You stomp looking for hollow ground, you flail around with your arms, you search the cliff wall for buttons, and still find nothing.

I reexamine the grass knots. If i find nothing, i move to go to certain places in mechcity that'd be perfect for hiding stash. On the way there, i examine too.

You constantly check the map as you approach, and find that he moved instantaneously to another spot before you arrived in the help center. He's currently in the east of the player shop district, in the north of town. You're on the far west of the main road, which runs down the center of Mehcity from bridge to bridge.

You re-examine the invisible grass knots, and note that the powder doesn't turn anything you put to it invisible. It seems to only work once.

You head to the player shop district, as that's one of the only places in Mechcity where players can build things. A few things in the area, and on the map catch your interest.
- A small shack over cement/iron reinforced ground
- An arcade named "invisible highlights"
- A clock stuck at 8:19
- A small forge with some used invisible power outside it.

You head over to the forge and see that there's little of value there. The blacksmith isn't home, so you don't open anything. You only see that there's powder all around the place: the ground, the anvil, the chests, everywhere. There's only powder around the forge and in it, there's oddly no trail leading away.

Your speed gets you there quickly, but not fast enough. The moderator moves off the above ground map as you arrive at the lorekeeper's shop.

OOC I just told you. He's off the above ground map. You're checking the only other map you know, the underside.

You check the underside map, and he's on level one in some kind of dungeonish thing.

You walk up the the shack and find the door locked. There's more of the powder around. Although the door is padlocked, you have several options.

1. Break the lock. It's frowned upon, and if anything valuable is found missing, you will be held responsible.
2. Pick the lock. Oddly more polite than breaking a lock, but if anything is found missing, not only will you be held responsible, but also you will be fined.
3. Contact a moderator. He may open the door for you if you have sufficient reason to wish to be in.
4. Find another way in. There isn't normally, but if you find another, unlocked door, you can do mostly anything you wish without repercussion.
