1899 - The Hidden Hands of the Aether
Esther:
Frustrated by her lack of progress, Josie desides to get some help. She gets up and opens the door to the hallway a tiny bit, making sure her body is blocking mr. Clocks view and the rats exit. She gestures To Hugo that there's a rat in the room and that she needs his help.
Klear:
"Excuse me for a moment," says Hugo, puts the bag on the floor and follows Josie inside, where he sees the reason for the commotion. "Oh great."
He moves towards the rat and tries to catch it into his bare, clumsy hands.
LuckyDee:
In the silence after the door was slammed shut, Jonathan stands around, indecisive. Upon Hugo's remark about Josie's punctuality, he looks up to the tall man with a look of complete incredulity on his face - almost as if he's about to start vocalizing his disbelief in a loud and above all hysterical tone of voice. After a few laden seconds he manages to regain his composure - possibly with some effort - and answers Hugo's question: "Er... yes... well, in fact... there's something I forgot. Seeing as the room isn't ready anyway, I'll just slip back downstairs," upon which he promptly pivots around makes his way back to the stairs.
Back in the room, of course, it turns out that catching a rat with bare hands, especially in a room full of little nooks and crannies, is easier said than done...
Esther:
Josie hands Hugo a rolled up blanket and gestures to Hugo that he should block the rats exit from under the closet at the side of the door. Since the back and the other side are blocked by a wall, the only way out for the rat is at the front. Lying down on her belly Josie slowly craws towards the closet and then a bit underneath. Listening and reacting to every move the rat makes. Making sure her body is blocking the rats exit. Because of her gift her eyes get used to the dark quick and can see better than the average person. She is not letting this black thing get away again!
LuckyDee:
Making your body as big as you can, you're able to block your side of the space below the closet as well. You can see the little bugger sitting in the back corner, obviously not having a good time. You can't reach it over there though; your arms are too short and your head won't fit underneath the closet. You could switch sides with Hugo to fix that problem, but then you wouldn't be able to seal your side as depth and width trade places.
