Chapter Text
Post full moon half naked Enid is desperately trying to bury a dead body in pine needles and less than a foot of snow
Suddenly realizing she's being watched Enid whips around to see Wednesday watching her
Enid: *panicking* This isn't, I didn't *crumbling under Wednesday’s gaze* this is exactly what it looks like
Wednesday: *amused* It appears to be the feeblest most pathetic attempt to dispose of a body I have ever witnessed
Enid freezes not knowing what to do
Wednesday: *taking off her coat* Put this on
Enid: I don't need…
Wednesday: You are clearly post transformation as it doesn't appear you consumed any of your kill
Enid: *horrified* I would never!
Wednesday: *annoyed at being interrupted* your caloric balance is crashing, your adrenaline is likely plateauing if not crashing, soon you will be at risk of hypothermia. Put it on before I have two dead bodies to deal with!
Enid puts on the coat sheepishly
Enid: What are you going to do now?
Wednesday: *observing the scene* In your ‘attempt’ you've left behind more biological evidence than if you hadn't done anything, if we remove the body I may be able to make it appear like another act of predation, I have what we need in my truck, come with me
Enid: Look thanks for the coat and I won't hurt you but
Wednesday: I said come *begins walking up a trail*
Enid instinctively follows an authority figure
Wednesday: *smirks* heel
Enid: I'm not your
Wednesday: I’ll tell you when you can speak
Enid: *low growl*
Wednesday: Bad dog
They finish the walk to her truck in silence, the truck has park insignia on it, popping the tail gate of the truck Wednesday reveals the remains of a dead bull elk
Going to the cab Wednesday retrieves a bone saw, tarp,some garbage bags
Enid: . . . Are you a serial killer?
Wednesday: I'm a biologist the skill sets are not inconsistent
Enid: Why do you have that?
Wednesday: I was going to use it for a study on carnivore behavior in the area
Enid: I mean the saw!!!
Wednesday: Sample collection . . .
Seeing Enid’s bare feet she returns to her truck and grabs her workout gear grabbing some sweat pants and socks then a pair of heavy duty winter boots pulling out the lining
Wednesday: I think these will fit you, if only just
Enid: Thanks . . . my name is Enid
Wednesday: Please refrain from telling me personal details about yourself, so I may maintain plausible deniability
Enid: *feeling dumb* oh . . . sorry
Wednesday: . . . Officer Addams
Enid: Just Officer Addams?
Wednesday: Look having seen most of you, you are ostensibly beautiful but given the circumstance I believe it best we remain impersonal
Enid: . . . You think I'm beautiful?
Wednesday: . . .
Enid: I mean I think you're hot to in an angry outdoor girl goth way
Wednesday: Please focus on the task at hand
Enid: Oh right dead guy
Spreading out the tarp behind her truck Wednesday grabbed the male elk by its rack and began pulling
Wednesday: *grunting* Do you intend to help?
Enid: OH! Sorry! *grabbing it by the hind end helps drag it onto the tarp*
Wednesday: I will carry the front end you carry the rear
Enid: or I could just drag it in stronger than I look
Wednesday: I have no doubt of your physical prowess but the drag marks leading to the kill sight will look suspicious
Enid: Why do we need a dead deer?
Wednesday: An elk, and we are going to exchange it with the body so the disturbance and blood do not seem suspicious
Enid: And you're sure you're not a serial killer?
Wednesday: No
Enid: Have you done this before?
Wednesday: No comment
Enid: That's not a red flag
Wednesday: Please refrain from talking further
After hiking nearly back to the scene of the crime Wednesday suddenly stops
Enid: What’s wrong? We're nearly there
Wednesday drops her end and Enid copies and walks up to see the problem
The body is gone
Wednesday: This may prove more troublesome than I first believed . . .
