[So here's a quick but interesting question! Have you ever seen someone sniff the barrier?

...well, now you have.]

[fomicrymeariver]

That's quite an interesting method you have there.

[sensationalyst]

Method?

[fomicrymeariver]

My apologies; I did not mean to interfere. I merely assumed that you were conducting research and found myself intrigued.

Was I wrong?

[sensationalyst]

Oh, um, sort of. I came out to take a closer look at the barrier, but I... thought I smelled something odd.

[fomicrymeariver]

Odd? What do you mean?

[sensationalyst]

Just something that didn't smell like a farm or rotting flesh.

[fomicrymeariver]

That's quite a daring statement to make around here.

[sensationalyst]

It's passed now though, and it was too faint to tell what it was.

[fomicrymeariver]

My, how rude of me--I've completely failed to introduce myself.

Jade Curtiss, with another humble apology.

[sensationalyst]

No, um, sorry. It's okay. I'm Rachel Pirzad.

[fomicrymeariver]

It's always a pleasure to come across a fellow scientist.

[sensationalyst]

I'm an investigator actually.

[fomicrymeariver]

Ah, but isn't investigation just a science of practicality? It's all for the pursuit of knowledge, after all.

[sensationalyst]

I guess so?

[fomicrymeariver]

My, do excuse me. I must be overwhelming you.

[sensationalyst]

Trust me, the situation is what's overwhelming me, not you.
