There wasn’t an abundance of room in the attic. The ceiling was low and the only light was what managed to seep up from the floor below. All around them was cluttered, but then again it was an attic. Tables stacked haphazardly atop each other with chairs overturned every which way on order to make them fit into the awkwardly angled corners. Dust covered everything and made the colors duller than they truly were in the small space. Thankfully that also made the tiny paw prints of the raccoons plainly visible even in the dim light. Upon further inspection, another light source could be found if either of them were to look up. A hole in the ceiling off to the left was plainly visible and just barely big enough for an animal to fit through. Judging by the rough edge, it appeared that it had started off small and then been chewed and clawed at until it was bigger.
The raccoons nest wasn’t really hidden all that well. One of the stored chairs was broken, although by what wasn’t readily apparent. The backing looked to have been snapped off, probably by it being dropped in times since past. The upturned bottom had a box-like quality two it between the four wooden legs, and there inside was quite the substantial pile of panties. White, pink, striped, plain, lace, they were all there. Also nestled within were four tiny balls of fur that appeared to become restless at the noise of the intruders inside the attic. The fabric shifted a bit and the face of a baby raccoon became visible, large eyes blinking at the NOT students to see if it was worth it to try and run. Another raccoon, while hidden further back, sat upon one of the higher tables looking down upon Rhett and Lior, although it didn’t seem particularly vicious. Just as fat as the other furry bandit seen hanging around outside, it intermittently looked from the nest where the babies were to where the students, trying to judge if they were a thread or not.
Lastly, there was one more, far small than the fat one standing guard but still bigger than the kits sleeping in the panty pile. It couldn’t have been much older than them if its curiosity was any judge. Not intimidated by their presence at all, it scuttled right over to the two and regarded them with the same wide-eyed stared that the little kits were. Happening to be closest to Rhett, the furry bandit sniffed at his hand before nudging at it with its nose. Quickly losing interest, it then scampered over to Lior, placing a paw upon her shoe and gazing up at her before chattering to itself and scuttling back into the dark recesses of the attic. It appeared force would not be needed; the raccoons were likely at least used to seeing humans if not having been fed by them at some point.
On the second floor, Maura bent at the waist and tried to see up into the attic although she could really only see dark from where she stood. She disliked that all she could really do was wait, but someone had to wait behind to keep the stairs from closing and it was their mission, not hers. Sighing, she ran a hand through her dark. Hopefully Rhett and Lior would emerge without having been bitten. The last thing she needed was to rush a NOT student or two to the emergency room to get rabies shots, and she certainly didn’t want to have to deal with the possible tears and screaming that would be involved with that.
