How to Sneak Food from the Kitchen at Night
Put on a pair of socks. They’re quieter than bare feet/shoes so you will be unheard by parents/malevolent spirits.
If you are already friends with a kind spirit in your house, ask them to scout for you. If not, you’re on your own.
Plan your list of snacks before exiting your safe haven and think about their locations, and do not exit if you will not be back to safety before 3:00 AM.
Turn the doorknob all the way before opening to avoid the click.
Walk near the middle of the room or near furniture to avoid creaks.
Ignore any sounds from the bathroom. The monsters under the bed need to go at some point. But if you hear noise from your parent’s room or the basement, go back to your room and immediately go to sleep. Some things aren’t meant to be seen.
If you need to open the fridge, do so quietly and close it quickly. The light attracts nymphs, and they will want some of your snacks. Should any arrive, give them a popsicle.
Open the pantry with the same technique as your bedroom door. Be prepared for the chips to fall down, as things move when we aren’t looking and you have caught them off guard.
If the temperature rises, leave something sweet on the table before you leave. Don’t worry, it will be gone by morning.
If the temperature falls, stay as still as possible in the shadows for at least 30 seconds. It should leave once it senses no movement.
If a spirit scouted for you, ask them if they want anything. They will probably ask for a Coke. Do not give them Pepsi if that is all you have, they will take offense. If you have no Coke, give them something alcoholic.
Walk in different spots than you did on the way there. Something may have trailed you and you do NOT want to cross paths. Should it find you anyway, contact HGK477.
Be sure to close the door quietly, and check under the bed for any new monsters who may have wandered in while you were gone. Only allow them to stay if they are friends with the monster already there.
Feast on your snacks, and be sure to share with anyone/anything that helped you on your quest.
