corpse in the blue room, whee

[guardiansteel]

[ For the record, the dead body was there when Elijah walked in.

No, really. All he had wanted was to check out this place's library, just to see if it had anything worthwhile for him to read. He most certainly wasn't expecting to find a corpse right in the middle of the room. That most certainly was not an okay thing to find.

He's been standing near the door ever since he walked in. That was half an hour ago. Since then, his thoughts have turned from "oh god why." to "oh god what do I do with this thing." ]

oh man

[bioluminesce]

[ When Mia spots the dead body, she doesn't seem that surprised or upset. Mostly, the look on her face is confused. Carefully, she approaches the corpse and pokes it in the shoulder gingerly. When the body doesn't react, she frowns a little and shakes it a bit ]

Um, excuse me, please wake up. I don't think we're supposed to sleep here.

[guardiansteel]

[ And now Elijah is wondering if this chick that just walked in is for real. He didn't think much of it when she started poking at the corpse. But then she started asking it to wake up. Seriously, can't that girl tell that the guy is dead?

Better break it to her gently, then. ]

I don't think he's going to wake up.

[bioluminesce]

[ she jumps at that and looks up at elijah, surprised. had she not seen him there? probably. she glances back down at the body before answering ]

But you always wake up after you fall asleep. Why won't he?

[guardiansteel]

[ Elijah wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't seen him. He was kind of standing off to the side, and he had been pretty quiet. ]

Because he's not asleep.

[bioluminesce]

[ mia frowns and looks down at the corpse again. cautiously, she presses two fingers to his cheek and gasps a little ]

He's so cold! Is he sick then?

[guardiansteel]

[ Oh god this is going to be hard to explain, isn't it. Elijah can already tell that much. Best do this carefully. ]

Sort of. Not quite. He's dead.

[bioluminesce]

Oh........ Oh!

[ mia scrambles up to her feet and backs up a few steps, still looking at the body. she knows the word 'dead'. dead was what 'terminated' meant. dead was what was going to happen to her. ]

I- I didn't know that this was what dead looked like.

[guardiansteel]

Seriously?

[ He just sort of... blurts that out without thinking. How could someone not know...?

On the bright side, at least she seems to know what it means? ]

[bioluminesce]

[ she nods, a bit nervous at his tone. was he mad at her? she's not really sure. ]

Um, yeah. I've never seen a dead anything before. Are they always so cold and um...... [ she pauses, searching her limited vocabulary for an appropriate word. the one she comes up with isn't quite right, but it's as close as she can figure ] .... gone?

[guardiansteel]

That's a pretty accurate description, yeah.

[ He wasn't angry. Just incredulous. But now that he knows that she really is just that sheltered, he's redoubling his efforts to be gentle with her. We'll see how that goes; he doesn't do "gentle" well. ]

[bioluminesce]

[ the corpse is making her pretty uncomfortable, now that she knows what it is. she keeps glancing at it briefly and then looking away. questions are good distractions, she's gonna ask one! ]

.... Why is it here? I mean, er, do you know why he's dead?
