Now Son I'm Only Telling You This Because Life Can Do Terrible Things~ (I came across a song called Terrible things and I cried....)

"What are you talking about...?" Seto asked his friend. Brice smiled, "Just a painting I finished last night." He said brightly. "Brice. Don't lie to me." "I'm not lying." Brice replied. Jason sighed, "He's actually not lying..."

Brice led the way down the hall, "I'll show you the smaller one first, then the giant one!" Brice smiled. He hopped over the pink bloodsmears coating the dining room. "Monoman is going to get a kick out of this," Bodil muttered. "Yeah.They sure will, I bet. I think they've been cleaning up all the blood and such." Jason heard Sqaishey reply from somewhere behind him. "What's he going to show us...?" Seto asked, too quietly for Brice to hear. Brice would just chime, "Why, art, of course!" Again. "He uh... we're almost there."

"B-Brice?! What is this?!" Seto demanded. "Art!" Brice chimed. "This is terrible..." "Life Can to terrible things, you know!" Brice replied light-heartedly. "Oh dear God..." Hannah said, stepping back. "Now, here's the murder weapon I found embedded in poor Sub's neck. Now, I figured, Sub's a creative person, right? Why leave him here to this bore of a death? Art sure spices things up! Don't you think?" Brice seemed to expect a positive reply, hopping about to get a good look at everyone's expressions. He had pulled a bloodied knife out of a drawer. "I does, but.... Brice....." Bodil seemed... disappointed? You'd be suprised how hard it is to tell what someone's emotions are when they're wearing big sunglasses.

"Onto the next piece of art!" Brice smiled. "How about no. We've had just about enough of this." Hannah replied. "No? You don't want to see my masterpiece? Ok. I'm sure my other companions want to see what I spent two hours dragging a dead body around the dining room to create!" He retorted. "I have to agree with Hannah..." Bodil said. "Me aswell... Brice, I'm sorry, but this isn't ok....".Seto sighed. Sqaishey just shook her head. Jason and Mitch had already seen this 'masterpiece'. "I'll go with him," Lee said after a moment, "He's not going to let us investigate until he gets to show someone..." Lee explained. He didn't sound very excited about the prospect of seeing whatever the magenta stains were meant to resemble. Stampy stepped to stand beside him. "Stampy's going to come along aswell, I suppose." Lee sighed. "Two people? That's all? Oh well. Let's go!" Brice skipped off towards the hall that led to the stairs. Lee and Stampy followed after a minute.

Sanity was becoming more and more elusive in this place. Jason often enough questioned his own sanity.
