In writing to just the 5 characters and not expanding to more, I can't seem to get out of this loop and progress the action. Hmmmm... lots rattling in my brain about it, but nothing hitting the page yet. Something is stopping me. Maybe, if I have space in my brain not worried about school planning, etc.... or getting pages out "on time", I'll find a solution. Sigh... here is today's offering.

PATTY
You lead us straight
here, and then we read the clue. You led us here because something was leading…
PEARL
Janis was leading…
JANIS
What?
PEARL
Not, you, you, but your
ashes.
|
JANIS What? |
JIM Trippy! |
GABRIELLE Incroyable! |
JANIS
Wait! My ashes? You had
my…
PEARL
Ashes. In a vile around
my neck. They’ve been passed down in my family.
JANIS
So, your mother…
PEARL
Great-grandmother.
JIM
Whoa! Fuck!
(JANIS begins
to laugh, pointing at JIM)
Uh-huh, can a ghost
lose their mind?
PEARL
That’s just it. You
aren’t ghosts. You can touch each other, and we can touch you. Why? The laws of
physics, man. None of this should be possible.
JIM
Did you do some spell
over my grave and sprinkle Janis’ ashes or something to get what, a private
concert?
JANIS
Why would my ashes
raise you?
JIM
Chemistry, man. We’ve
always had it! Boom! Your dust, baby and my magnetism that goes beyond the
grave. We mingled to rise again!
GABRIELLE
Non. Where is her…uh
dust. Can we examine?
PEARL
Patty has it or she
did.
PATTY
I did, but I don’t anymore.
JANIS
You lost me?
PATTY
No, I accidentally
broke the vial.

PEARL You
what? |
JANIS Where? |
