After getting past the two [[Grarrl]]s guarding the ''Scroll Repository'', the Foreman will demand that the player gets to work digging. Once that was finished and the furniture was ready to be moved in, players had to first talk to the [[Interior Decorator]] and find out which floor to put the piece of furniture. If it was placed on the wrong floor or on the wrong spot as indicated by white chalk lines, the Foreman would angrily kick the player out of the repository for a while.


As he was no longer needed to supervise construction, the Foreman took a new job as head chef in the repository's cafeteria. Finding the job boring, he expressed regret at not having any adventures and wishing for a souvenir from some exotic place. The next step in this mini-quest for the Chef involved visiting the Gift Shop in the [[Temple of 1,000 Tombs]] where the [[Ruki]] working there gave the player an empty vial to fill with black smoke in exchange for the only souvenir left in the shop. By equipping the vial to a pet and attacking the [[Spirit of the Ruins]] with it during battle, the vial would fill with smoke which the player then returned to the Ruki clerk. She traded the vial for a novelty T-shirt which the player would then give to the Chef. The grateful Yurble would then hand the player a ''Useless Crystal'', an important item for the next step.

Users find the the familiar looking Janitor cleaning the darkened [[Hall of Heroes]], who talks about how he wished it wasn't so dark so he could see the statues better. he points out a button to the user, stating he doesn't know what it does and gets angry when the user presses it, saying it doesn't do anything. When the user returns later, he thinks the gears of the button must be stuck, and could use some oil to make them move again. The user finds some oil near one of the statues, which the Janitor says he uses to polish the plaques. When the ceiling opens up letting in the light, he gets angry again because he must start cleaning again instead of guarding the button.

After going to the ''Punch Club'' and forming [[The Gladiator]], the Janitor growls about how the user went without him, as he loved punch. After forming [[The Collector]], he mentions he's been reading a book called ''101 Ways to Calm an Infuriated Yurble'', which had very good ideas to help him be calm, but he almost goes into a rage again when he speaks of some of the ideas which aren't so good. After forming [[The Thief]], the user sees the Janitor hurl a book of [[Lenny Conundrum]]s to the floor because they are too hard, and how he will crush the [[Conundrum Lenny]].

This angers the Janitor who needed to replace all the broken gears and reconnect the gears to the ceiling panel drive train. The gear system continues to get broken until the user finds and forms The Hunter, but the lights still don't shine over the statues, which angers the Janitor who starts running around in circles at so much work yet no satisfaction. When The Sleeper's statue is destroyed and the lights return to the ceiling, The Janitor could be found sweeping up the rubble, complaining how long it would take and how heavy the pieces were.
