For a few more minutes, Bo sat on Beth's bed. Sighing, Bo took off her jacket, tossing it on top of her bag. She wouldn't need it staying in doors and since the main reason for her anxiety and anger seemed to be exiled from the house for now ─ there wasn't a reason not to go back downstairs. She had calmed down significantly since she went into Beth's room.
That and Bo was just really hoping Josh had gotten the fire started so that she could warm her feet up. Her wool socks weren't doing their job.
Tucking the end of her sleeves over her hands, Bo closed Beth's door behind her and walked back down the stairs slowly. The bathroom door with the jacuzzi was closed ─ most likely Sam since Bo remembered hearing her come up twice faintly while she wallowed in her anger in Beth's room.
Bo tucked her some of her curls behind her ear as she descended the last of the stairs. Matt and Emily were no where to be seen, much like everyone else. The fire wasn't lit and Bo couldn't see anyone around.
"Guys?" She called out as her heart started hammering in her chest. Where did they all go?
"Here!" Chris' voice called back, "Come join us!"
Bo sighed in relief. They were still in the house. Good. She didn't feel like having to go back up for her coat to start a search party. Knowing Josh, he'd find a way to make them all spend some time in shed, just to freak Bo out ─ she admitted one night while drinking with him and Chris that she found that place creepy and perfect for a killer to conduct a kill or two.
Making her way to where she heard his voice coming from, she found herself tightening her grip on her sleeves as she found Josh, Chris, and Ashley ─ but no Matt or Emily ─ convened around a table with a Ouija Board in front of them.
"Sit," Josh motioned to the seat across from Ashley as he started lighting a candle.
Bo furrowed her brows, "What's going on?"
"Obviously we're summoning the dead, Bo, get with the program." Chris chuckled. "So it says here: 'to communicate with the spirit world, you must free your mind of all preconceptions, drop all inhibitions, and generally give yourself over entirely to the will of others, sublimating your every desire to the whims of the spirit-master', which is me─"
Unable to hold back her snort, Bo held her hands up to the flame of the candle in front of her as Josh settled in his seat to her left.
"It doesn't say that─" Ashley cut him off, but Chris continued as if he hadn't heard her.
"...and all present will remove their garments at my sole discretion─"
"Chris, come on, this is serious─" Josh gave Bo a side-eye glance as he tried reigning Chris back in. Bo found it a little odd, given what Josh had said earlier. She didn't try to dwell on it long, maybe he had just remembered her discomfort with that stuff.
