(Ok you know what-)

Suddenly a thought came to Lyn. She shifted to human form, her vision suddenly bursting with color as her eyes changed shape and structure. That was the only thing she didn’t like about shifting; the way it affected her senses. After pushing dark hair out of her face and getting over an initial dizziness, she hesitantly spoke.
“I don’t mean to interrupt, but would anyone like some snacks? I found a secret stash of goodies recently…”
Maybe she could make some friends this way. Then again, maybe they’d hate it if she interrupted their game. She could almost imagined them refusing with disgusted looks on their faces, and all of a sudden she intensely regretted shifting at all. She rocked back and forth on her seat.

Jade threw their cards down and stood up. "Snacks?" They tilted their head like a dog who was just told 'treats' but then not given any. "Snacks. I'm coming with you."

@Spider-man

Valentona nearly jumped out of her seat when Lyn shifted. Swearing under her breath but she nodded putting her cards down. "Snacks sound good."

@murphysgirl

"I'm not hungry," Tasha said, gathering up the cards. "I'll stay here and clean up."
"I'll go!" Colin said eagerly, gladly setting down his enormous pile of cards.

@Tired-but-passionate

Lyn silently sighed with relief. No one seemed to hate her… some even wanted to go with her! She smiled, then stood. “It’s just in the attic.” She motioned Colin, Jade, and Valentina out of the mess hall area and into the recreational area.

(In either of the cabins, or in the warehouse. Or even in the mess hall, which also doubles as a general games room and recreational area. It's where, like, the kitchen and the TV room are. There are those in the cabins too, but the mess hall has the main ones where everyone hangs out.)

@murphysgirl

(Also, a warning, Maute is pretty strict about the gender segregation of the cabins. First floor, with kitchen and living room and everything, is usually fine, but if she finds you in a bedroom, you're dead meat. So you'll have to sneak in if it's one of the cabins.)

Lyn headed to a back corner, where there seemed to be a white square on the ceiling with a string attached. She pulled on the string, revealing the square to be a trap door as it opened, a wooden ladder unfolded from it. Above, the trapdoor led into a musty darkness. Smiling a little at the others, she turned and and started climbing.

One she’d gotten to the top, she reached her hand up and felt around until she felt a metal chain. She pulled on it with a metallic ching! and the attic was mostly illuminated by a dim, yellow lightbulb.
There were mostly wooden crates and cardboard boxes, with garden and farming equipment set against the walls or on boxes in various positions. Lyn sometimes came up here to nap or be alone, though it got hot when she stayed there for too long.
She peered around, looking for the right spot.

"Cool," cooed Colin, peering over the dusty boxes. He vaguely remembered coming up here a few times, but other than that, nothing. Truth be told, he had come up here more than that, but it was only during his psychotic episodes.
