"What...are you eating?" You asked, staring with a confused look at James' plate.

The black eyed male glanced up at you, chopsticks half way to his mouth. "Sushi." He stated, putting the roll of raw fish and rice into his mouth.

"Sushi? You eat that?"

"Eat it and make it. Why?" He questioned, tapping his lips with a napkin.

"It looks like salmonella and other sicknesses holding hands..." You admitted.

"Try it." He said, placing one roll on a small napkin and sliding it to you.

"N-no...I don't want to die."

"Your girlfriend eats it, you know. At least...she steals..." He shrugged. "It won't kill you."

Sighing, you grabbed the piece of fish and rice, shuddering slightly as you opened your mouth, only for the food to be snatched from you fingers when a wild Tami ran past with Sammy. "Well...that's convenient..." You shrugged. James said nothing and got up, taking his plate with him. You just sat there, looking around for anyone and upon seeing there was no one, you moved on to the back yard.

The only living creature out there...was Strider. The tall creature stood along the tree line, moving slowly back and forth. You huffed, moving across the field towards him. "Hey, Strider." You said when you were closer. The creature stopped and swiveled its head to look at you with those piercing white eyes before leaning down and sniffing at you. You smiled slightly, running your hand over his head. "Been a while, huh?" You asked. Strider stopped sniffing you, looking past you and all around before rising to his full height. "You can't understand a word I'm saying...can you?" Your question was answered when the shaggy haired creature moved on its way, slowly going into the forest.

Rolling your eyes, you went back to the mansion, looking for something to do; which lead to you playing video games with Benny for an hour before she had to go and harass some guy in college. You kept Masquerade company in the library as she replaced the books on the shelf. Even played a board game with Sammy before going back to yours and Jess' room.

The pale skinned girl was sitting at her desk, headphones in and some rock music blaring loud enough that you could hear it across the room. She didn't turn around to look at you as she clicked away at her computer. Growing curious, you crept up behind her and looked over her at what was on the screen.

She had five tabs opened, one for YouTube, one for a MP3 free download sight (and from the bottom of the screen, you saw one song was currently dounloading), One for google images of funny sloths, One was and the last, which was open, was a search engine where you could put in pictures and find where those images have been on the internet (watch Catfish). She was opening her documents and dragging pictures of different teenage boys into the search and would sometimes growl and slap the desk if she didn't like what she found.

Cautiosly, you reached out and tapped her shoulder, immediately retreating in case she turned with a knife or punch. She did neither and only turned slowly, slipping her headphones off and around her neck. "Oh, hey, sugar. What's up?" She asked with a smile.

"Just checking in. There's...not much to do around here..."

Jess smiled warmly with a nod. "It happens."

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." She shrugged, exciting the search engine. "Just...doing stuff."

"Who...were those guys?" You asked, pointing to the screen.

"No one you should worry about." Her tone was sharper now, almost warning as she stood up and turned to you. "it's just...some loose ends I need to deal with..."
