Soft landing
Lance: A string is connecting a pedal to a basket under the ceiling. While I’m not moving, the string is stretched. As soon as the tension weakens, the basket leans. If I move away, shards will fall on me again. And who knows w-what’s on the bottom of that basket. Feather, I need your help.
Task: Find an unknown item in the hallway.
You look around the room. An umbrella or a cane? No, you won’t be able to reach out and knock the basket down. Can you find a stepladder? You feel a sudden push at your back.
Nat: Move away.
Lance: Natalie, what are you doing here?
Nat: Saving your hide. Only a deaf person will not hear you midnight chatterers. Here, Feather, spread this out. In a couple meters from the stairs.
Suddenly there are some rags and blankets in your hands. Nat starts climbing the stairs, only not the normal way, but from the outside, holding on to railings. In a couple of seconds Nat is already jumping on the flight between the floors.
Nat: Feather, did you do it? Good. Lance, do you like the song "RocketMan"?
Lance: What do you mean? Ah… Oh no, no, no, d-don’t.
You completed the task and received some points of freedom and some tokens.
Nat: You all right? Well, a couple of toys fell on you, made a few bumps. But it wasn’t sulfuric acid, right, nerdy? You were not standing on a mine either. I bet Feather would have thought up something similar. By the way, Lance, have you started shedding hair from fear? What’s that fur on your shoulder?
