The Epic Adventures of 30 11 11

Once upon a time in a land called Karmiel,  seven roommates just left for about 3 to 4 hours to go see a movie in the next town.  The remaining two, we'll call them R and A, are planning on going the cheap-Shnat way and downloading a movie online to watch for free.  They are arguing about which movie to watch, when suddenly a loud clicking erupts.  They quickly determine the source of the clicking (NOT a pipe bomb, HPPP fans): it is the gas stove.  A moves to fix the problem, while R begins to panic.  Then, without notice, the power to the entire flat shuts off.  R screams and thinks she is going to die, and convinces A to evacuate.  They do, and they call their madricha, G.  R explains to G how they are about to die in a hysterical manner, which causes G to ask to talk to A instead.  They discuss a plan of action, which A carried out.  He fiddles with something under the sink and then flips some grand master hidden switch.  The lights come back on, but so does the clicking, and then the power goes out again.  R runs away, A follows eventually.  R reluctantly agrees to go back to give A another chance at fiddling with things under the sink, and this time the lights come back without the clicking.  At this point, however, R is already convinced that they are going to die in a fiery explosion, so they go to the park to wait out the imminent  detonation.  When it does not occur and it gets too cold to be outside, they go back.  A turns the lights back on despite R's protests, and they work.  For now.
If you don't hear from me (I am R, if you didn't figure that out) soon, blame A (Ariel).
