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.]

[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?
