My attic search has turned out quite interesting. I have found a medium-sized lockbox. As I said, it's locked, and it's probably reinforced, since I could not open it with brute force. It's obiviously important, because it's so different from all the other rubbish in the attic, also, it was hidden behind some other boxes. I shoved it back to where I found it, because I could not open it. I think it is the "other thing". I need to figure out how to open it, because I know it will provide crucial info on what I really am, why I'm here, and where I'm from. After that, I went back to my ideas. Now, I have some very crudely drawn schematics, but the best writing material I could get was a broken pencil. Also, the only paper is wrinkled and has probably been here since the Jurassic Period. Considering what junk is in this attic, I have some pretty sophisticated traps. My plan is to first pound on the floor. This will definetely get the idiotic human's attention. Then, I will proceed to hide behind some boxes, so they will not see me. I will then advance to toss the little, toy mouse into a corner. It will make a sound and promptly get their attnention. They are most likely going to stroll over to it, and will trip over a cord. The tripwire's purpose is purely to trip them, and does not activate anything. Then, I will progress to pull a string connected to a net hung on the roof of the attic. The net is filled with assorted items, including LEGOs, clothespins, and a few books. The string open the net, causing it to barrage the enemy with tiny warriors. If that fails and the weak humans do not retreat, then I will unleash a hailstorm of (foam) bullets onto them! You see, I found a huge foam dart gun with four letters on the side. It spells NERF. Anyways, I have strapped it to a turret stand, and when I pull another string, It will begin firing aimlessly. Luckily, I can direct it somewhat with the string. This blizzard of darts will most likely make them run off. The reasons I am doing this are
A) To punish them
B) They are likely going to be carrying a weapon, and will probably drop it on there frantic scamper to run away, and I can use the weapon for other purposes.
Alright, it is time to begin. I pound on the floor with all of my might.
"BOOM! CRASH!" Some boxes fall over.
I hear footsteps.
"What do you need now, ugly filth?" says John.
I get the mouse ready.
"You have no idea what you're in for." I think.
Let's do this.
