BOTTLED LIGHTNING.

             “do you mind if I ask you a question?” he’s going to, regardless. it’s not his sense of entitlement ( though it does rear it’s ugly head, now and again ) but rather a bit of curiosity that’s been plaguing him for days. as is often the case, manners make way for mystery. “is it true that you...” gabe lowers his voice, just in case he’s wrong. he doesn’t want to sound like an idiot. “turn into a beetle?”

ESTELLA: omz.

ESTELLA: you're kidding, right? wtf is wrong with you?

ESTELLA: there is so much to unpack here and i don't even know where to begin.

GABE: I can't tell which parts you think need unpacking...

GABE: Do you hate Olive Garden?

MADDY: Same. Those sausages were the best I've ever had. If only I had a bigger mouth to fit them all in.

MADDY: This is mom and I have responded.

MADDY: CLEAN YOUR ROOM WASH THE DISHES GET GOOD GRADES SON

MADDY: 😂🌭😂🌭😂

GABE: This is the best impersonation of my mom thus far!!

GABE: 10/10 I'm proud

Alphie: not your mom, not by a long shot.

Alphie: come on, Gabe, there's better italian places than Olive Garden!

GABE: Kinda close! At least you're a relative? I'll take it as a win!

GABE: ALLEGEDLY!!!

BEA: Sometimes! I just like the convenience of sandwiches. They're easy to eat while I walk.

BEA: That sounds right. You should've stopped while you were ahead.

BEA: I agree, but it would make for an interesting discovery if we were both wrong.

BEA: I don't expect to find anything but I will keep you in the loop.

BEA: I don't have any opinions on Ambrose's moral compass, but the dorms are a little small to hide corpses.

GABE: Convenience is key. You're a really busy person.

GABE: I should've put my phone down. But, then we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, so I guess it paid off.

GABE: Very interesting! The same way that nightmare next door show is interesting. Horrifyingly interesting.

GABE: Much appreciate, detective.

LILIANA: i think breakfast sausages are smaller? i don't really know why tho...

LILIANA: hm that sounds offensive to lunch

LILIANA: on foot...

GABE: Now that I'm giving it more thought, I think they're lumpier too. Eugh.

GABE: A lot of the conversation around meals is really disrespectful to the importance of lunch. I think I intake more nutrients at lunch than any other meal.

LILIANA: why at breakfast? aren't breakfast sausages kinda different than dinner sausages? are there lunch sausages?

LILIANA: ok um i will do my best, i'll get a dictionary to help i guess

LILIANA: umm it's usually about fifteen to twenty minutes of me scared from no barrier till i get there??

GABE: ... are they? Are there?? I... don't know.

GABE: I'm reading about types, now. Nothing about lunch.

JAZMINE: They can all kiss my ass. Show them that too.

JAZMINE: $3 per message. You can do what you want from now on but you already owe me.

LILIANA: i'm pretty sure i like sausage though??

LILIANA: i guess yeah :/ i feel like there are people who would understand? but she lives really close by so it worked out!

LILIANA: i could bring you back some next time i visit??

GABE: In that case, you should get some at breakfast, to confirm. If you do, though... let me down easy.

GABE: Also try to word the texture better than I did, because this is going to be on my mind long term.

BEA: If I have the time i go by the dining hall, if I'm in a rush I like sandwiches from Union Café.

BEA: She has very strong opinions about the things Ambrose does with his meals.

BEA: Everyone has secrets, skeletons would be more interesting.

BEA: What do you think the likelihood is he actually does kill people?

GABE: Do you ever venture further into the world of Eonia's finest cuisine?

GABE: She does. She said 'I see how it is' when I implied that he doesn't kill people.

GABE: I really do hate to burst your bubble, but I think the likelihood is slim-to-none.

skye: hey did you know frogs absorb water through their skin so they don't have to drink?

GABE: I did know that!
