Description
The Main (Northern) Building of Level 173.
Level 173 is a vast complex of office buildings, previously owned by a former toaster company that mysteriously disappeared from the Frontrooms, The main building features large glass doors, with a faded logo above reading “Macro Toasters DLC”. It is unknown what “DLC” stands for.
When entering the Main (Northern) building, It would look like a normal office building, a few wooden executive desks, office chairs, desktop computers are on some of the desks, remnants of cubicles can be seen at a few of the desks. The one main difference is that there are toasters scattered seemingly at random around the floor, some placed on the desks, and sometimes placed on the chairs.

All of the buildings in this level have large glass windows, the Wanderer can occasionally find a Window entity, be on the lookout for any windows that have shadowy figures behind them, if you do see one, stay away from it. Most of the entities in Level 173 are Facelings, dressed in yellow button-up shirts, khaki pants, and neck-ties. If you interact with one of the Facelings, it will ask you if you would like to buy a toaster, in sign language. A toaster costs 40 Backdollars. If you say no, the Faceling will tell you to enjoy the rest of your day, and walk away. The Facelings are not hostile unless provoked.
If the user continues through the Main building, they will encounter a steel door that leads into the Breakroom. In the Breakroom, the Fluorescent lights hum-buzz as they do in Level 0. White cinderblock walls, steel tables and chairs are set against the wall. At the Western wall of the Breakroom, the Wanderer will find a granite counter, with an empty space marking where a sink used to be. To the right of the counter, there is a water fountain that spews out Almond Water. To the left of the counter sits a refrigerator and a microwave oven. Opening these will reveal it stuffed with large amounts of bread, which the Wanderer can eat raw, or toast in the many toasters in the building. The freezer section of the refrigerator contains containers of Almond Cake. Despite any of the appliances not having plugs, including the toasters, they still operate.
Any other office buildings the Wanderer enters are in a state of decay, with rotten, soggy carpet, collapsed walls, and large holes in the ceiling.
