Sorry for the wait, was busy yesterday. Should be updating tonight.>>5466590 >>5466699 >>5467084You simply don't think there's enough good material lying around the room to make a good rope if you were to use your bed as a base. The distance from the ground to here must be... about 9 or 10 feet to the first floor's ceiling, another foot for the material in between floors, and maybe three or four more feet to the bottom of the window. All things considered a distance of 13 feet if you're lucky, and perhaps 15 or even 16 if you're unlucky. Now that you hear that number it sounds decidedly more unsafe than the fall looked just a minute ago. And from a materials point of view, that doesn't account for any material wasted tying knots. You don't think another six or so feet from the window to the bed is feasible.
With that, you determine that you need a roughly 13-15 foot long makeshift rope, ideally a bit more if you have the time. To do so you should definitely start with the sturdiest materials. It's much safer if the rope breaks 5 feet from the ground than if it breaks when you're barely out of the window. The sturdiest material you have available is... your blanket. Definitely your blanket. And after that the extra winter blanket still in the closet, and then your coat. That should be pretty close. What after that? Your bedsheet would do nicely, but actually getting it off of your bed would be difficult to do quietly given that it's part of the barricade right now. You guess if you add a few sweatshirts tied together to reinforce them then that should be about good enough- a few feet off the ground, at worst.
Considerations made and materials gathered, you begin your work. But that leads to another consideration. What exactly are you going to attach it to, if not the bed? If you attach the rope to one of the closet doors and move it close to the window then in all likelihood it will slam against the wall and be braced against it by your weight as you go down. That will probably be loud, but you think having it braced against the wall would make for a pretty stable descent. As for the nightstand, it's small enough to fit through the window. While it would probably make less noise, your weight would almost certainly lift it off the ground partially even if you weigh it down, messing with your anchor and maybe, just maybe, sending it flying out after you.

It will have a bit more give, but it will certainly be quieter, and surely you're not so unlucky as to have it just fly out after you. ...You think.>Perhaps there's something else in the room that you can tie the rope to.
