Trini walked into the kitchen and took an apple out of the fridge.

She wandered around, finding the kitchen. Why is everyone in here? Ignoring them, she grabbed a water bottle.

Tara reached the kitchen and she into the fridge. "Uhh…..what kind of chocolate do you prefer?"

(jeez everyone is hungry.)
Josh walks into the kitchen and looks at Paige and waves again

"Any kind. I really like dark, though," Paige said. She noticed the same boy who had waved to her in the hallway come into the kitchen and wave again. She waved shyly back.

Josh's mask switched on and displayed "^" symbols over his eyes and he began to look through a freezer

Trini sat down, biting the apple and scrolling through Instagram on her phone, shooting occasional glances to the people in the kitchen.

Tara tossed Paige some dark chocolate, pulling out some milk chocolate for herself.

He stopped looking in the freezer as he found only meat and frozen vegetables. "well… that was pointless" he hops up on a counter and sits looking around at the people in the kitchen

Ellen walked into the kitchen. "Geez. The whole mansion powwowing in here?"

Josh shrugged "to be honest, i have no clue…"

Paige bit into the dark chocolate and allowed the sweetness of it fill her mouth. "Uh… I'm Paige," she said softly through a mouthful of chocolate to anyone that would care to listen. Usually, the answer was no one…

"I'm Ellen. Where did you get the chocolate?"

Tara tossed some chocolate to Ellen, flinching when she noticed Josh's mask. Then she climbed up into the counter and sat cross-legged, eating her chocolate silently.

Ellen caught it, grinning. "Can't remember the last time I had chocolate. Thanks."

"No problemo." Tara replied.

Josh noticed the flinch "…you ok there?" the mask displayed question marks over his eyes

Tara looked away from Josh. "Masks……" She felt like her chest was being squeezed. "Make me anxious."

"oh… sorry i'll leave." he hops down and walks out

"Why not jus take the mask off?" Ellen asked, munching on her chocolate.

Paige put a hand on Tara's arm. She smiled, sort of encouragingly, but she didn't really know what else to do. She hoped that Tara appreciated the gesture.

"i'd rather not scar anyone here."

Tara gave Paige a small smile.

"Oooookaaay." Ellen hopped onto a stool.

"Where is everyone from?" Paige asked, pushing herself up to sit beside Tara.

Josh just stood around the corner so he could still listen "California…"

"Middle of nowhere Iowa." Ellen said, finishing her chocolate.
