Re: Nish/Jocelyn - an isolated table ~7:45
Nish shook her head and swallowed the bite of sandwich she’d been chewing. “No, it’s not like that,” she said, glancing up and around, and then back at her. “Everyone knows, we were all here...it’s just...no one would believe us if we said anything.” She munched on another piece of pepper and then sat back.
“A few months ago...the building...changed,” she said carefully, wincing slightly when it didn’t quite explain it properly. “All the doors were locked; nobody could get out for a week. And...every floor was different. It was like…” she hesitated again, worrying the edge of the paper plate in her lap.
“One floor was a jungle, one was a desert, one was a...log cabin, others were made of stone with various statues and plants and even animals on them. It’s…crazy, but it happened. And we all know it happened, but...if you ask Stephan he’ll deny that anything weird was going on that week. Nobody outside even realized we were gone. It was like we were...in a black hole or something,” she said, with no other way to describe it. She popped the rest of her slider in her mouth, more to stop herself from saying anything more than out of actual hunger.
