Jack: Toy around with SUBURB, then go check again to make sure the cat isn't pissing on things.
SUBURB seems to have a bunch of windows for displaying stuff, but nothing is displayed in them right now. It still says it's awaiting a connection. You notice on the top right corner that it says "SUBURB client". Maybe the other disc was supposed to be the server?
(Roll: 1+1) You also can't seem to find MITTENS anywhere. Just where did that rascally rat scamper off to?
>Andrew: Retrieve snow shovel from garage, then
You knew you shouldn't have put faith in the arctic mole-men.
(ROLL: 13) You grab your snow shovel from the nearby garage and get down to some manual labor. After a few minutes of grueling work, you manage to separate the snow from the mailbox. Sweet! Those NAKED MOLE RATS got nothing on the power of OPPOSABLE THUMBS. Although this does raise the question of how any mail was put in the box if the squeaky wheel was from the mailman after all.
>ACHIM: Position a batch of cat food in the kitchen, besides a bowl of old wine and the heart of a young bull
Maaaaaybe it will satisfy the terror that stalks the shadows.
You head to the kitchen to prepare a HORRIBLE CONCOCTION of cat food. Surely BOOTJACK will stop stalking you if you can put this together.
(ROLL: 15) You manage to prepare the most sinister yet delicious feline treat ever made. So sinister and delicious, in fact, that something crawls out of a hole in the ceiling.
ABORT ABORT ABORTJon: Hunt for your dad!
You head back inside and look for DAD. He must have gotten the mail before you somehow. However, he's not in any of the normal rooms.
(ROLL: 13+3) Maybe he's in one of the studies or art rooms?
