Horror of the nightJim: Have you heard the screaming, Feather? It seems the source of it is in the living room. One can’t leave the room even for a moment — something will happen immediately! Task: Go through the living room. Jenny: Catch it! Jack: Why? Jenny: How am I going to get off the sofa then? Jack: It's all in your hands. Even the swab that you smashed the chandelier with. Jenny: I was startled! Jack: What am I supposed to do, Jenny? It's pitch-dark in here, and I can't see a thing. Speaking of seeing, try to swing your mop more carefully. I've always liked the pirate theme, but the eye patch is usually followed by a peg and a parrot on the shoulder, and that's something I'm not ready for. Jenny: Stop laughing! Jack: Now which of us is standing full height the sofa in all her civilized charm? Looking good, girl with a mop. Jenny: Jim, Feather, don't just stand there! Jim: Jenny, take a deep breath. Jack: Yes, Jenny, take a deep breath. Maybe then you'll stop wailing and testing my eardrums. Jim: What happened? Jenny: A bat flew into the room! Jack: Where from?! There isn't a crack in the house that you can get in or out of the house. Jim: Are you sure? Maybe it came from the attic? Jenny: Jim... Jack: Let's suppose that it did. How did it materialize there…? Jenny: Jack... Jim: Chimney? Jenny: ...are you sure it's the vital problem now…? Jack: Got it through the fireplace, you think? Impossible. Jenny: There's something creeping across the floor... Jack: We can't just ask it for an ID and check its citizenship, can we? Jenny: BOYS! Jack: That's enough, Jenny. My ears send you their warmest regards and take their leave. Jenny: That's your own fault, Jack. I asked you nicely. Told you: there's something running about on the floor! Jim: Feather, shine the flashlight here. Let's look for the troublemakers. You completed Jim’s task and received some points of freedom and some tokens Jim: So that's what it was! I see. We need to tell Jenny before she faints. |
