“Sleep is for the weak!” Maria stated loudly before she dumped a redbull into her coffee cup and chugged it

“Holy – Maria, no!“ Carlos exclaimed. “Your heart’s going to explode!”

“It’s empty now Carlos. It’s not coming back now.” She told him. “Plus, you should have seen what we did in college. I swear I heard colors the time we brewed coffee with monster energy then dumped two 5 hour energies in it.”

“Oh my god, how are you even alive?” Carlos asked. “I have doctorates and I didn’t do that! I did stuff the old fashioned way – staying up until life became meaningless and all I am is listless and inside of me is dead.” He said the last part with such a serious face, one wouldn’t know if he were joking or if he was actually serious.

“I mean, I’m dead inside too, Carlos. You aren’t special,” Maria snorted. “Also, I have no idea how I’m still alive. Maybe Satan isn’t ready to give up his throne yet?”

“Maria, Hell is a concept made up by the Chatholic church to try to control people,” Carlos said. “The only place you’ll go to is probably what people call ‘purgatory’.”

“Woah, when did you get that?”

“Ummm, like two days ago? Is it that bad?”

“Well, it certainly doesn’t look good,” Carlos said to her. “What happened? THat’s an awfully big bruise.”

“I kinda walked by Station Management’s office? And they threw a chair? And thus-” she gestured to her upper arm/shoulder where the bruise stretched out across.

“Holy – really?” Carlos asked. “Why on Earth did they throw a chair??”

“That is a fantastic question, hermamo.” Maria snorted. “Should I go ask them?”

“No – No, of course not! Just… are you okay? Does it hurt?” Carlos asked.

“Soooo, wanna tell me why there is a random bag of gems on the table? Are they like radioactive?”

“Um… I have allergies?” Carlos said. “And no, they’re not radioactive. But don’t touch them – I haven’t run them through the dishwasher yet.”

Maria blinked, “Okay what is the coraltion between the allergies and the gem stones? And why does you need to wash them?”

“They’re covered in snot,” Carlos said flatly. “Apparently this time around allergy season for me consists of gemstone loogies.”

“I swear this place gets weirder every day. I want to look through them once they are clean. My love of shiny things is infinite and I will not be denied.” She told her brother immediately.

“What are you, a magpie?” Carlos asked with a chuckle. “If you’re nice I might even let you keep some. I’m going to study them to see how pure they are… I don’t know how to appraise them though.”

“You can call me a magpie all you like, I don’t care. You can study all the ones I don’t want.” She decided with a shrug. “Take them to a jeweller? Or a geologist? You have one of those on your team, yeah?”

Carlos just grinned cheesily at her. He sniffed and turned his head away, just in case. “Yeah, I’ll see if Arnold wants to look at them. He usually prefers sedimentary though – more interesting, I guess.”
