Who: Rae & OPEN
When: 11:15 a.m.
Where: the dining room
Shortly after her exchange with Pam, Rae found herself tentatively exploring the mansion. Her empty stomach and the faint smell of cooked food led her to the kitchen, where the scent of someone's breakfast lingered in the air. The room was empty now, leaving Rae free to examine the remains of the fire damage as she rummaged about for something edible. In the fridge she found hummus and celery sticks; she leaned against a countertop, munching thoughtfully as she studied the patterns of ashen grey.
With food on her stomach and a glass of water in her hand, Rae returned to her investigation. From the kitchen she wandered through the living room; ducked her head in the utility room, finding herself grateful there was somewhere to wash her only clothes. She lingered in the foyer, gazing upward at the chandelier and the beautiful, sweeping staircase. The light from the windows toward the back of the house drew her. She crossed through the back of the foyer into the dining room. She walked down its length, running a hand down the high back of one chair, her eyes on the wide windows and the pool beyond. As far as prisons went, Rae had to admit it was a fine one.
Something stuck out from the mantelpiece, flapping softly beneath a vent. Rae moved toward it, one hand outstretched as she drank from her glass. She pulled the Polaroid from where it had been taped to the otherwise pristine mantel. Her eyes flicked over the image, widening as she read the scrawl that covered it. She snorted.
"Lady flower? What in God's name..."
