Th- thump.

Th- thump.

Th- thump.

Darkness. Quiet. A heartbeat. Your heartbeat. Slowly, the murmur of sound. Footsteps. Voices—

It works—

—wait, no, it doesn't. While it felt like it did, the body is still there, and moves with him.

[SIGHS]

[tries doing stretches to work out the stiffness]

It's difficult to tell, what with that feeling of remove from the body, but after a minute it seems like he's moving easier...? Or at least getting used to it.

This will have to do.

[starts poking around the lab, oh yeah i guess there's that body on the floor too]

The room is mostly unfurnished; there's only the table, the tray, and the woman on the floor. It feels almost... unfinished?

The woman is blonde, with choppy chin-length hair. Her labcoat is rumpled, and missing a button. She's a little dusty, but nowhere near as much as the rest of the room; it looks like someone's made an attempt to brush her off, but not especially recently.

Dead?

[dusts her off some]

...oh.

She is, isn't she... why did you think she was only sleeping?

...the dust at least comes off easily enough, even if it does get all over your hands in the process.

[wipes his hands off on his own clothes]

Oh, dear.

[rummages through her pockets]

The dust doesn't seem to want to come off of your hands... Despite that, there are now dust smudges on your clothes as well.

She doesn't have anything in her pockets.

[...are HER clothes still dusty?]

A little bit, but he knocked a good deal of it off.

[swapping her coat for his, thanks for the clean clothes]
