[ sorry sqx but here! look!! gross things that...have something squirmy. law will make sure it's in focus before she takes a peep.

i'm taking creative license with this u_u enjoy a microb sqx. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[


this is weird but also kind of fascinating.]

What is it?

[nodo]

I couldn't tell you what it is exactly—I don't know what you can find around here—but it's what you'd consider a microorganism.

[ he'll gesture to the microscope for her to understand the relationship. ]

Or a creature that you need a microscope to see.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, because it's so small...

[nodo]

Exactly. [ a single nod. ] There isn't much to worry about; microorganisms will always be there co-existing with us. The problem is when they try to exist inside of us.

[ ... ]

Or, at least, for the most part. It gets complicated.

[shiftingwinds]

...uh, why would they go inside us...

[


a pause]

Oh, is this like the bacteria thing Kaz mentioned a few weeks ago? With the hot tub?

[nodo]

Bacteria with the hot tub?

[ i.


did i miss something? ]

[shiftingwinds]

He said hot tubs are a living soup of human-borne bacterias.

[nodo]

[ ........ ]

He's probably not wrong if no one's cleaning them.

[shiftingwinds]

[she makes a face]

[nodo]

[ he'll..... wait?

but also wow can you see why he wasn't enthusiastic about going to the hot tub last trial??? blood my dudes. (and then look at what happened to molly just recently...) ]

[shiftingwinds]

I sincerely hope someone has been cleaning that.

[nodo]

I haven't been playing the odds.

[shiftingwinds]

That is probably a good idea.

[nodo]

[ because he


has to ask. ]

Have you taken a dip in the hot tub before now?

[shiftingwinds]

...yes but it was at the beginning of all this. Around the time we first got here.

[nodo]

Sorry if I ruined any future plans of your's.

[shiftingwinds]

I had no plans whatsoever to get back in that tub.

[nodo]

Terrible experience the first time?

[shiftingwinds]

No! No, just, after Kaz said that, I didn't want to use it again.

[a beat]

And then it was involved in a murder and I really didn't want to use it again.

[nodo]

[ he'll nod at that. ]

Reasonable.

[ AT THE SAME TIME???? ]

To imagine people being willing to use it after the murder.

[shiftingwinds]

I would prefer not to imagine that, actually.

[nodo]

[ too bad??? molly is trying to drown himself in it?? well. tomorrow he will be but...... ]

Be careful where you're looking then.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... I'll keep that in mind.

[nodo]

Did you have any other questions about the other things in the room?

[ .... ]

Except for that slime thing. I have no idea what that is supposed to be.
