...Where exactly does the average person keep their tape, now that you think about it? Your family always kept the tape and some other random crap in the pantry, so you head into the room to the right of the kitchen slash dining room first. It is, unsurprisingly, a pantry, but unfortunately there's no tape, or other odds and ends. Just food. You take a moment to shove a granola bar in your pocket before heading out to the garage.
The garage is a lot better than the last house you were in, but it's still rather cluttered. Garages and basements are where a family's "stuff" goes to die you suppose. Just as you're about to put a "one more minute" limit on your short search, you do manage to find some packing tape, conveniently fallen in between two of the boxes you plan to use to keep that bookshelf in place. With that you go to find a curtain that you can tear down.
You make a point of moving around the house quickly to figure out where's best to grab from one, and in the process figure out the layout. On the hallway to the right of the living room is a bathroom, office, and what you'd best describe as a 'man cave'. The living room, office, and man cave all have windows, but the curtains aren't all drawn- you make a point of doing so. The kitchen also has a window, but it's a long, short thing above one of the countertops. Not big enough to worry about anything getting in through, but also lacking in curtains, which makes you a bit uneasy.
On the second floor is a hallway leading into two bedrooms. The first is a master bedroom with an attached bathroom, while the second appears to be a child's bedroom. The beds in both rooms have empty pairs of clothing under the covers, reinforcing the idea that everyone else simply... disappeared, leaving only you and the physical neighborhood behind.
Well, and your guinea pigs.
The hallway and bedrooms on the second floor all have a window. That gives you six different places you get one from, three on the first floor and three on the second.
>Choose a location to grab a curtain from.With a curtain and tape acquired, you quickly head back downstairs, step through the window, look around quickly to make sure it's still safe, and then tape the curtain over the window. It's a bit narrow, so you have to fold the edges, but it looks... well, not completely out of place if you don't notice the tape. It's dark out, and the tape is clear, so you think there's a decent chance of that. Now to get the barricade in place.
Rolling for which room it's in.
