Summary of Receipt
Employees 17, 71 and 323 reach the House on Dracula Drive. 17 takes a photo of the strange portrait, because they could have just done that this entire time and 323 forgot. 17 said it looked familiar, but couldn’t place where from, and had to check his records. The three of them start taking pictures of the House to see if it changes. Also, a bunch of bird-themed stuff has started appearing in the House.

"I do not like this painting, Charlie. Its smug aura mocks me."
You know the best thing about interdimensional Houses? They're full of surprises. Seriously, I've been here a handful of times, and it looks so different. I think No. 323 was underselling how much has really changed here. The best way I could describe it is that the aura has changed from chill and spooky to sinister and secretive. Not a huge distinction, mind you, but still a distinction. And the main culprit is that darn portrait.
The guy's eyes, they follow you. Ugh. Gross. The lady's eyes seem to pass the ocular patdown, though there is some sort of profound sadness in them. I don't know. No. 17 couldn't ID these perps immediately, but he did say they seemed… familiar. He has to check against some records of his, and you know what he did? You know what the absurd old man did? He just pulled out his cellphone and snapped a picture of the portrait. And it worked. No. 323 could've just TEXTED him a picture of it like weeks ago. I swear, when you get too deep into the supernatural, you just forget that we have little cameras on us at all times. So we know now that you can take pictures inside the House. I guess it just never came up before.
We actually ended up snapping some general pictures of the House. Next Wednesday, we will do the same and see if we can play some interdimensional eye-spy. Uncover some deep truths. Or maybe just confirm whether or not the floorboards go horizontal or vertical. Something that we were able to notice is the sudden abundance of birds. Like little ceramic birds, stuffed birds, bird paintings, you'd think an ornithologist lives here. As far as we can tell, there's no singular type of bird, just birds in general, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
