Kyle blinks and then points at the TV. He opens his mouth to speak multiple times before settling on sighing and rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"And there's my TV... Of course."
"I'm sure that can't be your TV. I've had it since forever!" Bo says, waving his hand dismissively in a way that makes his terrible smell waft toward you in an impressive wave.
"So it can be absorbed... okay... nothing bad really." She throws away the bread and washes the slime on her hands down the drain again, trying to figure out how the heck this was going to work in the end... Did the stuff do anything? Or was it just that, LOTS of slime creation potential? Putting it out of her mind for now, she places one sandwich near Lynn and the others on the counter before going back upstairs to maybe find a shower?
The bread is dumped, the slime is taken off rather than washed off by what seems like an effort of will, a sandwich is planted, and soon enough a shower is found as well, complete with running water, strangely enough, and some towels, one of which smells nice and largely unused. The shower itself seems rather inviting right about now.
Alex would stare at the woman and shrug.

You can't quite say you don't, actually. There's a feeling you have, one you've ignored up until this point, in fact. It's a vague sensation, not filtered through any particular sense you've had thus far, but there nevertheless - it's a feeling of readiness, or at least that seems to be the closest interpretation. That mental switch you flipped moments ago, that's still there, still ready to be flipped at any moment when you've got a person in mind.
"Please." Considering that she has nothing left, not even the ability to move on her own, she just gives up.
"Okay," he merely says, and disappears out of sight in a few moments. You guess he's looking for a payphone, maybe? If so, you might be here for a while still. You wait and you wait, unsure of how long it's been. Maybe an hour, you guess? You feel cold lying here, and even more miserable than you were before. When is the ambulance coming? Is it coming at all?
