Day 70: Bus 2

[gald_digger]

As usual, night had ended too damn early. Anise really wanted to see what was at the end of that tunnel! But on the bright side, it sounded like she and her friends could get back there easily.

Actually, maybe it was a good thing that they got interrupted when they did. Today was a field trip day; it'd give them a chance to stock up on any tools or supplies they might need for their venture into the unknown. Anise just hoped the Head Doctor wasn't going to interfere with them going back, now that they were so close...

The outfit selected for Anise that day was a little colorless for her tastes, but the style was cute enough to satisfy her. There was a long, striped sweater with a hood. Two long flaps dangled down from the hood, resembling the floppy ears of a rappig. She fidgeted with them as she was led aboard one of the buses. It looked like she was the first on this bus, so she went ahead and sat down in a window seat.

With little else to do at the moment, she took the blueberry muffin from her paper bag and started breaking off tiny bits with her fingers to eat.

Scar's clear lack of interest in conversation did nothing to deter the Once-ler. "B-but how? I saw you! You were... you were...." He faltered for a moment, uneasy as he recalled the gruesome scene that had been the last he'd seen of his roommate.

"You were everywhere!"

No one just came back to life from that. Well, no one just came back to life in general, but especially not from that.

Scar managed to hide the slight churn in his stomach when the Once-ler kindly informed him that he had been everywhere.

And he was rather glad that it hadn't happened somewhere the entire institute would have been able to see.

"I awoke in the morgue. I do not know how it happened."
