Anyways today, for the online writing class I'm in, I decided to write more to the scene based on similar dialogue I wrote at the time. The assignment was just sharing an example of character dialogue and showing how the characters can be directly or indirectly characterized. Its not the same premise but it wouldve fallen into the same scenes/location so eh
Suzanne talked impatiently as she pushed herself up onto the basement's lab table, “Okay, can you like, give a fast version of what's happening? Honestly, you’re boring. And it's creepy in here.” She began to drum her chipped manicured nails against the cool metal. James stood away from her and stayed in front of the table near Red. Rosemary stood tall in front of the group.
“There is a material void left in your spots. It was enhanced by the leaps in time you both took. If you live in this universe for too long then your universe could theoretically collapse, depending on how much your physical absence alters the march of time. You are fine here because I have altered the values of this world enough to treat it as a playground, but it is still dangerous to take molecules out of your worlds without replacing it with something equal. I need to fix this as fast as possible, but an assistant messed with the machine that brought you here, which then broke in response.”
Red bit at her lip and looked down in embarrassment and annoyance at being dragged for the situation happening. James looked at Rosemary in serious concern but said nothing. He didn't fully understand but he had no reason to question the scientifically brilliant woman in front of him. She also frightened him in her cold cadence, and he had no will to know more of what she could think inside her head. He shifted nervously.
“Soo..” Suzanne looked at Rosemary as if Rosemary was convoluted. She hadn’t actually been listening in the slightest and had no care for a long explanation Rose had chosen to give. James thought she did it on purpose to annoy their impatient time refugee. Rose quickly rephrased,
“You are missing in your world. Anyone chasing you does not know you are here, but you need to be careful in my universe. I need to put you back to save the integrity of your home universe so it doesn't explode, but it is going to take time.”
“Oh, phew, thank god. Can I just stay here like, forever then? Again, I am kiiiiinda on the run back home and I do not wanna go to jail for like, ever.”
“No." Rose replied flatly. Red chimed in,
"We can't keep you here because I don't think Rose actually know the effects of one of you staying in our world long term. It could break stuff. And, uhm, not to be rude, but I think you'd lead people we don't want around right to us. Like.. Cops. And I don't think your ID would work here, it would've expired 20 years ago..”
"Jokes on you, I lost my wallet on the highway three weeks ago. Or, 20 years and three weeks ago? Oh, come on! This is stupid.” Suzanne jumped off the table and stood defensively, “Welp, I'm leaving this lab and getting lunch. When I get back, you better have fixed this goddamned mess so I can at least be on the lam properly!'
Suzanne turned to leave, rushing towards the stairs. Rosemary turned to James,
“You. Go with her. Do not let her become a fugitive here too.”
“Really? She scares me, I don’t wanna be alone with her-” Red took his shoulders and spun him around towards the stairs.
“Go!” Both Rosemary and Red yelled at him, Red then pushed James and he sped-walked out, trying to keep up with the brash woman ascending the stairs in front of him.
