GHOST HOUSE

You walk for a while into the darkness, completely uninterrupted. It seems you have a little time to yourself.

KLAIR

So, uh, how are you guys doing?

ISSAC

Wow. Really?

KLAIR

I don't know! It's quiet. What do you want me to talk about?

BAI

I thought it was a nice question. I'm doing well, Klair! Thanks for asking.

KLAIR

Thanks for the defense, I guess?

ISSAC

Dude, lightbulb, I don't know how long it's been since you interacted with like, ANYTHING else that's not absolutely out of touch with reality, but asking how we're doing in this situation is kind of stupid.

BAI

Bite me.

KLAIR

You don't have to be mean to Bai. They've been, um... helpful.

ISSAC

Like hell they have been. Fuck, as far as I know, we're just tripping our balls off in the woods right now, and none of this is real.

BONNIE

But then how would I be involved in this? You know I keep away from stuff like that!

ISSAC

We peer pressured you, of course. Like all those middle school videos they made us watch.

BONNIE

You would never!

ISSAC

Cooooome to the daaaark side, Bon... we've got sooooo much LSD.

KLAIR

And weed. Or did they call it grass in the videos?

BAI

Wait, you guys had videos on that stuff in school?

ISSAC

Did you not? Wait, did you even HAVE school??

BAI

Uh-- I... don't really remember.

KLAIR

I mean, if you've been alive in the last two centuries or whatever, you probably had... um... oh.

You're halfway through your sentence when you realize how potentially insensitive your statement is. But it does raise a question for you, too, and you have no filter.

KLAIR

Um... hey, do you... do you know when you died? Sorry if that's rude.

BAI

It is rude. Hey, we're here! Check it out!

They change the subject, and you realize you're at another dead end littered with scraps of paper and boxes.
