Reassured by Adamar's words, Jason nonetheless knew that he still had to get across or around this burnt-out room. If there was some way up from the chamber Adamar had fallen into, it was going to come up on the far side of this place. After all, there'd been no other doors from the entryway.<br/><br/>Speaking of the entryway, Jason turned back towards it, his first plan to deal with the storm and go around the building to find another way in. Of course, just as he did so, a flash of lightning cast some kind of shadow on the wall he was looking at. A strange shadow, a sort of person-shaped shadow with long, angular limbs that seemed to end in blades or tentacles rather than hands. Jason swore in shock, then shined his flashlight back toward the entryway.<br/><br/>Nothing was there. Of course nothing was there. Ghosts weren't real. He shook his head, feeling upset at himself for even thinking he saw something. "Adamar, I'm gonna try to find a way around. I'll be back soon, so don't worry!" He got back up to stand, then walked through to the entryway - and suddenly felt his heart pound in his chest. "Um... Adamar?" His voice quivered a bit as he shouted. "We got in here by pulling a bunch of boards apart right? Because..." He almost couldn't believe his eyes. "I think they're back where they were."<br/><br/>Jason set his back against the wall, keeping his flashlight pointed directly at the boards over the door. They showed no signs of having been broken before. He thought he might be able to break them again, but somehow couldn't bring himself to try. What was this?<br/><br/>From beside Jason, the picture frame nearest to him began to make a sort of groaning noise, like an overtaxed machine. Looking toward it in a panic, he saw as the glass of the frame seemed to slowly inflate, ballooning outward until -<br/><br/>- Jason ducked just before the glass exploded, covering his face with his arms (which received several unpleasant but not severe cuts). Without waiting to see what was going to happen next, Jason ran back to the hole in the floor and jumped onto the rotting wall, half-climbing and half-falling down to the level with Adamar. He managed this without any further injury, but he looked terrified as he finally reached his friend.<br/><br/>"I think... I think this place..." Jason took a deep breath, digging through his bag for any kind of first aid materials. How could he have forgotten to pack them!? "I think the entryway to the funhouse was maybe... Part of the exhibit? A trick photo just blew up on me, and like I said... The boards are back."<br/><br/>The basement had the opposite problem to the rest of this building so far. Where the entryway had come with only one door, this basement had at least three in different walls, and it looked like a fourth was partially blocked off by a bunch of heavy-looking boxes. The air had a faint reddish tint to it, and the smell of old popcorn was stronger here.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry I forgot to bring bandages," Jason said quietly. "I guess, once we get back up there, our trip's over."
