1899 - Under the Sign of the Lock and Feather
Klear:
That's pretty much how I (Hugo) interpreted the message - Josie needs help with something inside...
Sereg:
While I really have no idea how any of this works, I have been reading along out of interest.

What I got out of this line here is that this particular event is not especially uncommon at this inn. Maybe it's related to the storyline(Portralis, anyone?) or whatever's happening here, or maybe it's not, but in either case, it happens frequently enough that I wouldn't be particularly skeptical if there was some specific kind of signal to communicate that.
Spoiler: Just in case I'm not supposed to be speculating about stuff (click to show/hide)Although I don't think that would be needed, since as far as I can tell the guest saw it too, or he wouldn't be having such a difficult time keeping his composure.
Those are just my thoughts on it, and as I've stated, I really have no idea what's going on here, so take that with a grain of salt.
Klear:
There have already been two strange encounters with large black rat(s?) during the storyline, so I think that's what that refers to.
In any case, good to know we have audience! Maybe you'll even join the fun at some point...

Hmm, have there? I thought I'd read all of it, but I guess not, lol - anyway, that would certainly make sense. "hey, we have a rat problem, we need a way to deal with this if it comes up again without alerting the patrons".
As far as joining, I think I'd need to read a lot more before I felt comfortable joining a storyline, but who knows? Maybe at some point ;)
LuckyDee:
Nice to see others getting involved as well, feel free to ask or comment on the story. To clarify:

1) Since the Lock and Feather is a a higher-middle-class establishment, rats are actually very uncommon; the owners take a lot of care not have any varmints scurrying around.
2) Even if they were common, at least 9 out of every 10 rats showing themselves would be brown, not black. Hugo won't know this, and owners probably can't be bothered to tell the difference, but Josie will know.
As for joining in: since bfg9001 hasn't shown himself ever since volunteering, and a certain someone seems to have nerfed himself out of the playing field, I'll be glad to take on an extra....
