Second Drag: Video

Right. So.

[Chloe is outside somewhere, probably the garden if the greenery around her is any indication. She's got a cigarette between her fingers and takes a drag before she keeps speaking, smoke curling out from between her lips.]

Who of you chucklefucks actually celebrates Thanksgiving? Or something close to it? 'cause I'unno about you but I'm seriously craving some bombass turkey and pumpkin pie.

[Another drag, a breath out.]

We should do something about that.

It's a pretty good holiday, yeah. My dad and I never really did much for it, but he was usually on call, anyway.

Kind of hard to focus on dinner when someone needs a body stored in the freezer downstairs until they can have the funeral.

It was a big deal for my house 'cause Mom didn't always get off work for it. Sometimes we'd have to have it like, a week in advance just because of her schedule, but she always made sure it happened no matter what.

[Wait, back up, what did he just-]

... oh. You worked in a morgue or something?

Hey, if you really want something... usually you figure out how to do it...

[Uh. Yeah this conversation is always a little weird.]

Dad owned a funeral home. We lived above it since he was always on call. Sometimes I'd help out.

That's... pretty much been my whole life.

[Even if she never did make it out of Arcadia.]

Oh, yeah, I've heard that's pretty common actually. Did it ever get creepy though?
