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.]

But I really don't want to eat.

[still snivelling, but gradually calming down as the water soothes the acid's sting]

W-we have to go back and help the others... if we can't find out who killed Prudence, then we will die too.

First we eat, then we go to look for clues. I can't think on an empty stomach, I've told you before.

[turns to stare at her with red eyes, about to argue, but the lightheadedness comes back and he just lets out a shaky sigh]

O-okay.

Sit down, you're looking faint again.

/boiling the potatoes, one step closer to greatness

You needed a break from that crime scene, anyway.

[hesitantly nods and sits]

But... we cannot just take breaks when we want. Yuri wants to see us playing his game.

Somebody killed Prudence, just like Pitch killed Tony...

[shakes his head, stifling one last sob]

...

We need to find out who was the first person in the laboratory after she had died, and who came from the same floor, too. Because if-- if the one who killed her left the laboratory and stayed in a different room there, and then went back to the laboratory after some other people had come... that would be a wise thing to do for a murderer, right?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, slow it down there, I can't get all of this straight right now!

/draining the potatoes, let's just pretend this is a very magically efficient kitchen

First food, then thought!

[there is no way they will accomplish anything together before she has eaten, is there]

[just silently sits and watches]

/mashing mashing mashing

/adding milk, butter, and garlic

/and shoving a spoonful of it into your mouth

There. Eat! It's really good!

[swallows with some difficulty - his throat feels all closed up from crying]

Thank you.

...

Um... I didn't ask you about your name yesterday...

Just call me Bri, it'll make it easier on you, you kind of have trouble with English, yeah?

/digging in and shoving more into your mouth

[tries to eat without choking]

[at least she doesn't seem to find it awkward, that makes it a bit easier; right now he thinks it would even hurt to hold cutlery]

Bri... I'll remember. My name is Jakub--

[cut short by more potatoes]

That's such a weird name, though. I'm probably not going to remember that. Can I give you a nickname or something instead?

/here have some more potatoes!!!!!

[swallows dutifully]

Hm... are you English? Some of the people who I worked with in England called me Jacob, and then after a few days just Jake. And one man--

[accepts the next offered spoonful]

-- on man simply called me "Czech".

No, I'm American. Didn't my accent give that away?

/more potatoes in your mouth

/damn but they are good

Jake, huh? ... You're not cool enough to be a Jake.
