Seren had heard about someone wanting a cigarette. She hated the things, herself, because they were a
filthy habit, leading to cigarette butts everywhere, nasty smelling clothing, and just a nasty smell in the air in general, and that was not even beginning to discuss the issues of what it did to the lungs.
However, this was not her life, and if someone wanted to attempt to smoke a cigarette large enough to kill people their size from smoke inhalation alone, well... five bucks was five bucks, and she felt that maybe it was worth giving it a go. Every penny added to her wallet was one more penny towards the house she and Rhys wanted. She remembered in a dresser drawer somewhere, and headed off for the place where she had seen them. When she got there, she found Tzei there as well, apparently having remembered the same thing, and also found the drawer to be shut. Damn.
She studied the supplies that happened to be lying on the floor. Ball point pens, a sheet of flypaper, a pack of bubble gum... 2 fingers of vodka, good lords that was enough for them to DROWN in, at this size... And... Oh! A spool of thread. Seren grinned and called out "HEY TZEI. Can you rappel at all? I'm thinking... Use the pens for leverage, but we have to get up there, first."
She pointed to where the top of the dresser was... luckily (or not, as the case might be), the drawer they needed was the top one, and it was only a three drawer dresser, which was flat to the ground. This would make it easier, height wise. "If we can get up there... We can use the pens to push it open. Then we can create a 'rope' ladder from the thread, to climb into the drawer, and out... It's a work in progress, but if we can get that far..." She looked at Tzei, hopefully.
