Chapter 2: Abnormal Days

Attention everyone! A body has been found! A body! It's in the laboratory room! Hop to it! This is so exciting!

[There's an excited giggle before it cuts off.]

[he comes rushing in... a little late, a little frazzled. he was scared he would be the next one to go, thanks to the local plant freak, and the feeling of relief when he heard the death announcement made him feel sick to his stomach]

[he stares at the body and feels a lot worse]

...What happened to her...? [he manages to kneel down. he can't look away from her face]

[neither can she, honestly]

[she's fallen to her knees not too far from you and staring quite blankly at the cadaver]

Another dead...

[a very unemotional smile's starting to form]

[wow she looks really creepy]

...Y-Yeah.

[he manages to look away from the body]

Is this... what that acid does? Is that how she was killed?

[he's trying to gather clues, but he's too weirded out]

[just giggling for a minute]

[then blinking and looking to you bewilderedly]

The acid killed...? Acid cannot hold a broom, yes?

[...uh]

[he looks at the mop on the floor, then back at her]

S-Sorry? You mean... someone hit her? How can you tell?

[believe me, that wasn't the worst of it]

[pointing at the broom handle]

That is blood, yes?

[he looks at it again]

Uh... Y-Yeah. I, I guess so...

[he's not gonna touch it]

W-Wait, how can you be so sure? I mean - you just got here, right?

[he's paranoid. someone has to be the killer if the announcement said there was one, so who is it?]

/idly watching the conversation go down from the sidelines/

/It's too interesting to interrupt yet. So she'll just snap a photo of it/

/... and then hide the camera from Lev. Acne kid owes her big time./

It is just something that I no--

[she heard a click oh god what is that noise]

[looking around and-- well, a camera would do it, huh]

[still, smiling a little nervously, this situation is a little weird still]

I am in your way, no?

[CAMERAS]

[he shoots her a look and holds a hand up]

If you're gonna take a picture, say so!

[ugh. he manages to get to his feet and steps away from the mop]

S-So... Then, this came from -- I mean, this mop had to come from somewhere, right?

Oh no I was just coming over to ask you two where you were. But you seem to be going through it already so I'll just listen.

/okay OKAY jeez she watches... and takes a picture of the mop/

Cleaning closet?

Ah!

[less nervous smiling, come on girl wow them with your English phrasebook teachings]

The cleaning closet is down the hall.

[NAILED IT]

[fuckin' ESL, more like ESLosers]

[he nods slowly]

Then we should check there, right? There's bound to be... I mean, there's nothing of use here, so we might as well check out there.

[he starts walking towards the hall. getting away from the dead body sounds like a great idea]

...As for me, I was using the restroom in my room when the announcement came on. [it sure helped his poop come out]

/She did not need to know that and makes a gagging face behind his back, then turns to Lia./

Where were you?

/She doesn't know about her language problem, and waits for a second before turning to follow him. She'll keep quiet about why she's asking around for now, but if they pay attention her eyes are still red-rimmed from crying earlier./

Ah, where.. was I?

[thinking]

Ah! Yes. I was sleeping with my husband!

[ nod nod ]

[he stops because he knows that word]

Your --

[he turns and looks at her, confusion an understatement]

Wh-- Your who?

/That makes two of them because she's giving her a look as if she just grew a second head./

What?

/And in the back of her mind she remembers Yakub saying something about being with her and is she serious, they're together?!?! No way./

[bright beaming]

Yes, my husband! I am marrying him! And then he will wash the dishes for me!

[PERFECT PLAN YES????]

[Central Europeans]

A-Alright... Great, that's great... [he's just going to focus his attention on Maria now] Where were you, then?

Aren't you kind of... young to be... marrying someone...?

/And now she's eyeing her head to toe, confused as hell. Lev's taking that better than she is./

You are talking about the guy yea tall /motions/ and with lots of acne?

/This is more interesting than the dead body and she's ignoring Lev in favor of whatever the fresh hell this is./

Yes, that is him! Ah, my mama will be so pleased! He is good-suited for farming. It is always good to find a husband early, yes?

[beaming, surely you'll understand]

L-Look, is this really the time to be talking about this?!

[he frowns at both of them, unsure what to do or say]

Someone died...

No one asked you!

/Shut up Lev. She turns back to Lia./

Your parents farm?! I didn't know people still did that. Did you two know each other before you got here? Do you stay together in the same room? Have you actually /leans in/ had sex?
