4: Highly Questionable Action

[after_march]

[April has been browsing at her favorite store in Luceti, the Items Shop. It is not long before she makes a WONDERFUL DISCOVERY!]

MY PAINTING! OH MY GOD! It's HERE!

[She is SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS! One of her favorite works of art has turned up in Luceti. Here's a picture of it as it looks in her apartment back in New York City, leering down on

[This is Derek, wandering into the living room with coffee and laptop in hand.

This is Derek, stopping dead at the sight of the new artwork gracing the wall beside his surf board.

This is Derek, staring at it for several moments before thinking;

"What fresh new Hell is this?"

He'll take another SIP of coffee.]

...There's a clown on the wall.

lol THAT ICON HAHA

[after_march]

DEREK! Isn't it FABULOUS? I love how a little slice of home just showed up here. Wow.

:D

[derek_bliss]

It's...definitely a clown.

This is from your home?

[after_march]

Yes! He used to hang in my kitchen--always the first thing I'd see as I was making the morning coffee.

[... During a time that doesn't break time and space with school ... Raine will notice April leaving the shop with the painting. She doesn't see what it contains right away.]

Do you need help with that?

[Action] 1/2

[after_march]

Oh! Raine! Uh...well, I wanted this to be a surprise for my housemates, you know? So you can't tell them about it.

[Action] 2/2

[after_march]

But I'd be glad for the help. He's on the big side, you know?

[She turns the painting toward her teleport touch friend.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Hm? Very well, I won't say anything when I see them. ... 'He'?

[She blinks a little once the painting is turned toward her. Well. That's certainly different.]

... I see.

[Later in the afternoon after school and a long workout, Raph ventures down the hall and through the living room on his way to take a shower. He passes by...

Then backs up a few paces, staring at the abomination.

...Where has he seen that before?]

[after_march]

[April is heading into the living room with a bowl of popcorn.]

Oh--Raph! You will NEVER GUESS what I found today! Now, come on--notice anything different around here?

[meanandgreen]

[He juts a finger at the painting.] I've seen that thing before.

[after_march]

Well, duh--it's been hanging in my kitchen forever, Raphael. It's amazing that it survived the fire.

[sittingtype]

[ Well, there is nothing more terrifying for this doctor than seeing a painting of a clown jiggle down the road towards him. That comment about art is coming back to haunt him. ]

Er... need a hand?

[after_march]

[April is in fact struggling with the clown a bit at this point. It's such an awkward size and shape, even though it is not very heavy it's a pain to carry.]

Oh, you're a life saver! Yes! Can you take an end? Be VERY CAREFUL, this is priceless!

[sittingtype]

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me...

[after_march]

Oh! You know art, then? [She offers him an edge to carry.] It's always nice to meet someone who has an appreciation for the finer things.

[lost_koneko]

[sees painting, freezes then screams as she flees!!]

[action]

[after_march]

[April notices the young child running screaming. She rests the painting on the ground and calls after her.]

Hey! Little girl! Are you alright?

...Huh....Wonder what scared her? [And she looks around EVERYWHERE for the Scary Thing, but sees nothing. Weird!]

[action]

[lost_koneko]

[hides behind and looks over at her suspiciously] Why are you carrying that?

[action]

[after_march]

Hey, sweetie, it's alright. This is my pretty picture! I'm going to put it in my house.
