<setup><title>Renovation</title>
<description>It was a good deal. Not too good to be true—nothing is—but a nice
apartment at a nice price as the building came out of a long renovation. It sold
out fast, all dozen apartments. The complaints were small at first—standard
apartment stuff—but now people are talking. Maybe there’s something more going on
here.</description>
<options><option><question>Which complaints have been reported?</question>
<ul><li>Small items tend to decay and crumble as if they’d been left here for
years</li>
<li>The clear yowl of sirens, but no source</li>
<li>Loud clunky footsteps from above, but no one’s there</li>
<li>Pets panicking around the middle of the second floor hallway</li>
<li>Small leaks of a curious pale green liquid</li>
<li>Urgent knocks, like someone desperate to get in, from below the first
floor.</li>
<li>Phone calls with snippets of unintelligible chanting</li>
<li>Unknown creatures glimpsed in stairways</li></ul></option>
<option><question>What has the landlord done about it?</question>
<ul><li>Given several discounts and refunds on rent</li>
<li>Stubbornly denied that anything was wrong</li>
<li>Hired several workers to come in, none of whom have found anything wrong</li>
G<li>one silent, nobody can reach him</li></ul></option></options>
