She heard Hunter in one corner of the room talking about 'proof.' She assumed he meant that he was looking for something supernatural, and while Ava didn't believe in that--her only encounter with the supernatural had been in her memories of... of... of that night, but clearly that was just PTSD, or the stress or trauma messing with her memories or something. Anyway, Hunter's idea sounded kinda fun, kinda interesting... she walked across the room and sidled into the conversation.
"You said you were going to go take a look around? Could I come? That would be more interesting than just standing here." She assumed Hunter would accept her self-invitation and didn't really wait for an answer. "What exactly are you looking for?"

"Where is he anyways? Is he coming?"

Patrick was starting to get interested. "Can you prove to us that there is truly money in there?"
"Scott? What's that painting over there? Why is it covered?" Patrick asked Scott, as he was checking out some mannequins that were tangled up in some sort of chicken wire. "That's something very important."
"Important?"
"If the price is current right now, it may cost half a million for some buyers I know." Scott explained to Patrick, as he walked over to the covered painting. Patrick saw that Scott was eyeing him, where he was about to take the sheet off of it, until he saw that Scott was watching him. He didn't look like he was going to stop Patrick. He wants him to see it. Patrick immediately hesitated and took a step back from it.
Back at the gallery, Scott started to leave the room. "I'm heading over to explain about tonight in the dining room. If you want to stay behind to check out the art, be my guest. If you want to make yourself comfortable here, take a seat over there." Scott said, talking about the rocking chair piece with the blades. Patrick started to follow Scott, wanting to know more of the night and the overall plans ahead.

“Why did Patrick hesitate? Come on dude! Let’s check it out! I bet it’ll be wicked cool.”
"There is a way you could prove the existence of the money without giving us a chance to steal it," she informed him, "You may wish to open the safe while blocking our view of the code with your body, remove and open the envelopes, show that the cheques exist and then replace them. I shall stay, for I have other things that I must do before the night is out, however without proper proof the money exists others may not be so willing."

So many memories came flooding back to Ava, memories that would have been unpleasant enough if they hadn't served to underscore the terrifying parallels between that situation and this one. A group of teens go into a haunted house to spend the night... bad things happen. It already seemed the pattern was being followed.
Now, the fact that this painting had reappeared here, in Florida, where she had come specifically in an effort to escape from her past, seemed like there had to be some supernatural explanation for it. For a moment, Ava remembered all the strange things that had happened before: conjurings, occult readings, superpowers, teleportation... but then she remembered that these had all been the inventions of her fevered imagination to explain the terrible tragedy that had happened. It had just been a 'normal' mass murder--if such a thing existed.
Ava had tried so hard to escape from these memories, and she didn't like being confronted with them again, especially not in a situation like this... but she didn't know what to do. Did she need to start planning an escape from this house now? And how could she ever escape from what had already happened to her?

"Such a faithful dog," Clarissa would not be stared down by Rachel, her own expression had just become very much weird. The 15 year old was smiling a rather unsettling smile, her own eyes glaring deeply into Rachel's as she took a few steps towards the larger girl. "Alas," she continued, "It is always the dogs...or the common soldiers who die for their masters. You are very loyal to your mistress, Rachel, but I had no plans for your life to be cut so tragically short by such misplaced affection." Her hands moved freely and slowly at her sides before her fingers began to bunch into fists as she continued to slowly walk towards Rachel, all the while keeping eye contact.
"Scott does not fancy-Anne," she continued, "He will not be made more likely to do so by you foolishly throwing your life away in support of her endeavours. However..." her voice and expression took on a note of sadness "If you are determined to sacrifice yourself, I will provide the end you desire."

Infected Mushroom wrote:Mort looked around to see how his peers responded.
He noticed that Ava in particular looked really disturbed and uneasy.
"Hey are you alright?" the pale teen offered up. "It's... it's only a painting."
He understood morbid art was not for everyone. However, Mort had a dark side and this was RIGHT UP his alley.
As Mort's eyes returned to the painting, a realisation came upon him.

"Hey that's on Halloween!" he cried out. "Two years ago!"

Mort's question shook Ava out of her haunting reverie. I'm definitely not okay, she thought, but she couldn't say that.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said. "I just don't like the painting." Would people ask questions if she said it brought back bad memories? She didn't want to risk it.
"Do you mind if we cover it back up?" she asked. "It's giving me anxiety or something." Ava turned around so as to not see the painting, but quickly realized that knowing it was behind her where she couldn't see it was even creepier. She turned back around to face it. She looked at Mort, who was still holding the cloth he'd pulled off the painting. "Please?"

Out of nowhere, Spencer suddenly punched Scott. "Spencer, that's enough!" Julia immediately stepped in to put her in between Spencer and Scott
"If you people want to continue to avoid, I think I should give you some privacy for once." Scott explains, as he opened a door leading to the kitchen.
"Complete asshole.." Spencer groaned, as he looked at Stansfield. "Where did Patrick and Victoria go? I saw both of them leave the room, but did they leave the mansion?" Spencer asks the group.

"Hmm, a conspiracy theorist I see, not very much unlike a niche manga I've been reading, but someone of your caliber may not be able to properly appreciate it. I do not believe I have seen anything suspicious though." Daylon looked at the Kirby guy and saw that he looked like he didn't absolutely abhor his existence like many of the others in the school did. Perhaps when he finally was acknowledged and given the respect and recognition he deserved Kirby would be spared from the humiliation of the popular he had planned. "Say, what does your name happen to be? I know it ends in a reference to the popular Nintendo character Kirby, but I am lost on the first name. My name is Daylon Swartz, the child of Steve and Mary Swartz." Daylon did a Japanese bow to Hunter and hoped he had not scared off his potential friend.

Hunter Kirby
Hunter said, "The name's Hunter. Not everything, including my last name, is a pop culture reference." He crouched down, and began tapping on the floor with his pencil, hoping to find some sort of switch. This Daylon guy was getting on his nerves a little bit. There was something off about him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Was he in on it, or was that just his paranoia playing up again? Hunter said,"I'm gonna head over to the dining room. Maybe I'll find something in there." With that, he began walking out of the gallery, and towards the dining room. He was kind of hungry, but he was hesitiant to eat the snacks in the dining room. They might have been doctored with something, so best to avoid it. At home, he and his two siblings made sure to filter their water, and only eat food they had prepared themselves, or came sealed. His older brother had practically raised Hunter and his sister after their parent's mysterious fatal car accident, and believed that you could never be too cautious.

Mort was a bit disappointed that Hunter was leaving but he understood paintings were not for everyone.
"Well, guess I'll see you later!" he called out.
Then he continued to stroll around, admiring every stroke on the canvas.
"If I had the money I'd definitely buy this all up," Mort said genially. "Cause it would be-"
He turned and noticed that Ava was looking quite concerned and worried still.
"Hey err Ava," he said gently. "What's... what's the matter? That painting really upset you? I didn't meant to."
He had a feeling there was more to Ava's story.

"He's probably busy, displaying his art to Mary-Anne and her crony Rachel. Everyone else probably followed suit." Victoria said, holding a cupcake from the buffet table, getting ready to eat it. It wasn't until Amon decided to grab some snacks to put in his backpack, which he left the group. Not before leaving the reply to the group of "Bye Felicia." Going upstairs, Amon would find several hallways above the stairs. One of the closest doors near the doors was painted a bright red, though it was unlocked. Taking a peek inside, it was a red and white colored guest room with a queen sized bed. If Amon was going to take a room to himself, he already has dibs.

Ava shook her head. "Sorry, it's nothing," she said.
"Hey, you said you wanted to look around more?" Ava said, gesturing to the door. "I wouldn't mind trying a different room... And Hunter said he was going to look around for paranormal stuff or something too a minute ago, which could be kind of fun. Which way did he go, this way? He said he was going to the dining room, right?"
Ava walked into the Dining Room to find Hunter, assuming Mort was following behind her, but too worried either way--she was just happy to be out of the gallery and away from the terrible memories the painting there brought back, even if it was covered up now. She found Hunter there, awkwardly looking at the snacks but not eating anything. Ava helped herself to a can of pringles, taking the whole thing for herself. She needed some comfort food right about now. Anything to take her mind off of... now there was an idea.
"Hey, Hunter, you said you were gong to look around for like, traps and paranormal stuff or something?" she asked, holding out the can of pringles to him in case he wanted some too. "Do you want to do that now? Not sure if Mort might wanna come too."
