[ hey man. what are we even doing in the morgue? Ludger was definitely not staring down a cupful on pens on the teacher's desk, cat ears perked up. ]
Oh, hey, Anaxagoras. Going to try some tests in here too?
[ he is still staring at the cup... ]

[ Anaxagoras is simply in here to scope out the surroundings...for now.
Nothing more, nothing else. But, how much so? Well... ]
...I'm merely taking the opportunity to look around in the immediate environment, than do much with it at this point in time.
[ Also, right now, he so happens to have two dromas horns sat atop his head - which means that they are bright white, and have a draconic appearance. ]

... What do you think? It's a little... ominous.
[ he sure doesn't like that it is definitely some sort of school room! nope! ]
[ he sure doesn't like that it is definitely some sort of school room! nope! ]
...I think so as well.
[ Anaxagoras believes that it should really not have been converted from apparently a classroom to this? At least that's what it appears to him...it is far too strange, all things considered. ]
There are dire implications if this room needed to be changed to a morgue. It could have something to do with what was spoken upon in the chapel by those phantoms.

You mean that disease they were talking about.
[ hmmmmm ]
If this room was changed because of that, then why did they pick somewhere so close to where they gather to eat? Was there not enough room anywhere else?
[ or was it for another reason...? ]
[ hmmmmm ]

[ or was it for another reason...? ]
Yes, I meant that disease.
[ So it could be definitely somehow related... ]
...There simply could have not been enough room anywhere. It does feel like a last resort.
Open up a space to place dead bodies here or there. Though, that would be unfortunate in of itself.

People always need to eat. If that was converted, that would mean they'd given up.
[ ugh. ]
But why keep the bodies at all? Were they... dying too quickly?
[ ugh. ]

...disturbing.
[ Anaxagoras frowns, listening to this, but he understands - he knows that this is true. ]
That could very well be it. Not to mention if they were contaminated by disease, burying them traditionally might not have been for the best.

Do you have a different idea?
[ even as he turns to look at Anaxa, he can't help but idly mess with one of the pens in the mug on the desk. ]
I've only heard a little bit from the church, but I could have overlooked something. I've been a bit more... distractable lately.

If the disease mentioned briefly in the church is what caused such high mortality rates, and it was one that was highly dangerous, burying them would make it difficult to study.
[ Especially if it were highly volatile and infectious, as it were. If people were looking for a cure, the best way to be certain to have access to viable dead bodies to observe would be a place to easily pull them out.
Digging them out from six feet under would be a pain. ]
As well as if there were further complications or some other superstitions present about burying the bodies of the infected.
Then, of course, we have your possibility that there was then subsequently not enough room elsewhere.

... Do you think it's... still here?
[ in the soil... in the air... in the earth.......
(laughs in sunday...) ]
[ in the soil... in the air... in the earth.......

It probably is.
[ He thinks this is reasonable to conclude...it has to still be somewhere, right? ]
And we'll have to deal with it, in whatever shape or form it comes at us.

Must be one crazy disease if it was surviving with no one to carry it.
[ no one before they got here, at least. ]
... You mean the- investigations. After someone is killed.

Which is why it has to be something supernatural in nature.
[ Anaxagoras believes for it to be more than something like that in the first place, but it's hard to say what best fits it.
Maybe originally it first started out as a normal disease, and then...hm... well he will mull more on that, later. ]
Or elsewhere. We should keep in mind we might run into it in other places as well.

You've put a lot of thought into this already.
[ thank the spirits someone think bigger thoughts than him. ]
The hands that took Giyuu away are definitely something else, whether that's supernatural or magical. And if the disease also is... then odds are they're linked. But does the disease attract the hands, do the hands cause the disease, or something mutually beneficial for both sides?
[ he can't quite remember the word for that type of existence ]

[ Anaxagoras strides into the kitchen, resisting the urge to wrinkle his nose. Who to thought the elements still persisted in an irritating way?
Somehow he isn't surprised. Whatever the case he is here for a warm meal, and as such, notices someone else.
What is Ludger up to? ]

[ Ludger is busy at work, flour scattered across a counter as he carefully folds a square of dough over and flattens it! there are a few bowls around him, filled with jams and fillings in a few flavors.
Anaxagoras's entrance stirs up whatever ghostly presence is haunting them all this week, prompting a shiver and a glance up. ]
Anaxagoras, hey.
[ he sounds a little subdued ]
Hungry? I think there's still some soup in the fridge.

Of course.
[ Anaxagoras will only suddenly think smaller thoughts when there is suddenly a dromas...for the most part.
Fortunately for Ludger Anaxagoras also seems to catch onto what he may be looking for. ]
...Are you attempting to explore not only the causation, but the poasible subject of a symbiotic connection between the two?
It is entirely possible that, if the disease mutated, or came into contact with another force that helped it transform into what it is today, I wouldn't discount the possibility.
[ Or perhaps Anaxagoras is making too much of a leap himself. Still, it is food for thought. ]

Which puts us back in the same spot of not enough information...
[ how frustrating ]
If there were records of what happened here in the past, maybe we could compare it to what's happening now and see if there's any differences. But I think if anyone found something like that, we'd already know?

[ Anaxagoras is watching all of this as Ludger is at work, then! The ghostly presence is an aggravation on top of everything that sums up the entirety of this week.
But, that is no surprise; as for him he'll scowl, looking around, before nodding at the other. Maybe first in greeting. ]
...I'll take some. Having something from the mysterious hands in the kitchen isn't bound to be wise. [ ... ] What did you make?

[ with Anaxagoras agreeing to some soup, Ludger will fold the dough one more time before covering it, letting it rest. grabbing a towel, he'll wipe his hands as he heads over to the refrigerator, sleeves riding up a bit to flash some cute little bandaids in the crook of his elbows. ]
They're going to be danishes with either fruit fillings or something more savory. Maybe tomatoes or peppers.
[ it isn't until he's hauling the almost full pot of "leftover" soup out that he realizes Anaxa might have meant something a little different. ]
... Oh, the soup is chicken noodle. It felt appropriate given the weather.

Standard faire for our situation.
[ At the least, Anaxagoras seems accustomed to that. Though, with that said... ]
I do recall we had videos that showcased people transforming and whatnot, though those did not linger. We'll likely have to dig deeper to find something far more tangible.
I believe they're likely to be around somewhere, regardless. There is no conceivable way no one would have not bothered to leave behind a written record...no matter what state it could be in.

... They're going to be super hidden and extremely creepy, aren't they.
[ like this place wasn't bad enough already!!!!!!! ]
[ like this place wasn't bad enough already!!!!!!! ]
[ Did Ludger end up injuring himself at some point? He kind of looks at that for a moment and then peering back on over at the refrigerator.
Danishes with chicken noodle soup? Well, he's had stranger combinations. ]
Chicken noodle soup?
I'm not particularly picky about my food.
[ Unless it's something extremely bitter and even then he'll probably be fine with it. He will continue to patiently wait for Ludger to set things up, as it were, and then ask: ]
Did you manage to hurt yourself while preparing food?

Not picky, huh?
[ he chuckles. yeah, he's heard that one before. though, at the question... ]
No, it's nothing like that. I just donated some blood to Foxglove and Sage for studying.
[ Ludger shrugs, and extends an arm in Anaxa's direction, the cartoon whales on the bandaid smiling cheerfully at him. ]
Honestly, I forgot about them - I could have taken it off yesterday.
