Colin trotted after her eagerly.

Valentina followed looking around.

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.

Colin eagerly scurried up the ladder after her.

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.
