> Equip that one blue necktie.

Thinking quickly, you pull your blue necktie out of your pocket and put it on. Maybe you can pass yourself off as a confused executive who's been stuck in here all night.

Unfortunately, you're not very good at putting on neckties. Your clumsy efforts to tie it leave you with more of an extremely awkward headband with one arm stuck inside it. And you can hear Officer Big Pecks drawing closer.

Maybe you'd be better off pretending someone attacked you and tied you up with your own necktie. But you're not going to be able to pull that act off convincingly from in here. You dash into a nearby room, maybe you can find a chair and act like you had a really awkward time getting out without damaging your necktie.

Unfortunately, this room is devoid of chairs. Except... wait a minute! You can spy the notorious furniture thief Cathedra Davenport sneaking out a window in the corner of the room, and she's carrying a chair on her back. She has her back to you right now; maybe if you stop her from escaping, you can somehow pin your chicken-releasing crime on her! But she's nearly out the window. What's your best course of action here?

> Disguise yourself as a vampire! See how she reacts.

SpoilerHey now, no editing commands for gender! Editing to fix spelling mistakes is okay, though. So is intentionally leaving spelling mistakes in if you want to see what I do with them.

In a sudden fit of inspiration, you come up with a brilliant idea: what if you pretend to be a vampire and attack Cathedra? You might be able to frighten her into running in the opposite direction, where Officer Big Pecks will no doubt arrest her and probably conclude she sent out the chickens to distract from her chair theft.

With your free hand, you pull out the plastic fangs you always carry around for some reason you've long since forgotten, and put them in your mouth. You then make a clumsy effort to convert your black shirt into a cape. You're the most convincing vampire ever!

You rush over to Cathedra just as she's about to squeeze out through the window, and shout "I vant to suck your blood!" She turns, sees you, and screams.

Then she climbs back in, much faster than you would have expected, pulls the chair off her back and hits you with it a few times, before tossing you unceremoniously out the window into the sunlight.

The noise draws Officer Big Pecks' attention, and he runs in and spots Cathedra. At least, that's what you gather when you hear him shout "Cathedra Davenport! You're under arrest!"; you can't exactly look back in because you're busy clumsily pulling yourself to your feet.

You think it might be a good idea not to be around in case Officer Big Pecks decides to search for other potential criminals on the premises. But where should you head? You've got your job to get to, of course, but you might want to do something about your appearance first.
