<hr/><div class="floatleft">(http://cdn02.cdn.justjaredjr.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2015/12/ashley-benson-bday-wishes-from-pll-cast.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Medusa (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261894.msg12988378#msg12988378)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>X-Mansion, near the main entrance.<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Sept 7th, around 3:00pm<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Salem (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261894.msg12918911#msg12918911), Bobby (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261894.msg12977312#msg12977312), Open<br/><strong>Content:</strong>About to receive a tour of her new home.<br/><hr/><br/>Medusa was glad when Snapdragon didn't seem to take any interest in her.  Then again, why would he?  As far as he knew, she was just any girl that was on the tour and they had nothing to do with the other.  And, at least for now, she intended on keeping that way, at least until she figured out why he was here.  Just then, her focus was taken away from him by another one of the girls, Harms, as she asked a question that was actually on Medusa's mind as well.  And the answer was a bit heartening in that it would only take a half an hour.  She could deal with that and then, hopefully, get her key from Salem, who she'd been told had it.  She debated on just asking for the key, but decided against it since she did have to try and get along with the other people here and snubbing the tour would probably go a long way in ruining that.<br/><br/>As they moved towards the stairs, Medusa wanted to roll her eyes at the reaction that the young girl, Denae, seemed to stop and stare for a moment, but even she had to admit that she was impressed.  In just this one section of the house, she saw more signs of wealth and privilege than she'd ever seen before in her life.  It was clear that the family that had built this place, Xavier's family she would later learn, had money and knew how to spend it.  If she wasn't trying so hard to be a bit on the stoic side, then she might've shared in the girl's moment and stared in awe.  As it was, she did her best to appear unaffected by the casual displays of money that were around them and actually listened to Salem as she talked.  It was clear now that she hadn't rehearsed this part and it felt more natural and honest from her and it actually did make Medusa feel a bit more comfortable as she walked along behind and slightly to the side of the majority of the group.<br/><br/>When Salem started to talk about the history of the house and how it might have had a checkered past, Medusa couldn't help but snort lightly.  Of course it had a checkered past, most old buildings did if they stood long enough.  However, her snort had an unintended side effect as it caused part of the group to turn towards her, curious as to what she found so amusing.  She hadn't really been prepared for this and she almost allowed that to register in her face.  But her instincts kicked in and she allowed herself to assume a slight smirk as she looked towards Salem.<strong>"Alot of good work done here, huh?"</strong>she asked with a slight snark,<strong>"I'm sure, but I suppose I'm more interested in the negative.  Any examples of what shenanigans the family got up to prior to it becoming a 'boarding school.'  Or do we not talk about that?"</strong>She cocked her head slightly.  A part of her felt bad for messing with Salem's groove, but her instinct was to be snide and bitchy when confronted with unwanted attention.<br/><br/>It had been how she survived on the streets for the most part.  Sure, she let a few people in once in a while, but she'd mostly been a loner with only one notable exception.  She knew that she needed to learn to stop doing that, but she'd been unsure how else to handle the situation and decided to just go ahead and fire.  She made a mental note to apologize to Salem when she went to get her key from the girl, but only after it was just them.  She couldn't do it in front of the rest of the group.  It would make her seem weak and weak was something that Medusa couldn't even fathom allowing herself to feel.  So for now, she crossed her arms over her chest and waited for Salem to decide what she was going to do in response to her comments.
