Re: the laboratory

[miraculess]

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]

Re: the laboratory

[miraculess]

...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.

Oh, dear.

Re: the laboratory

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.

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