Gotta stop mentioning work to strangers.

Why?

Tends to have an adverse affect on them.

What do you do?

I'm a medical examiner.

That's what I want to do.

Oh, really?

Mmhm. It seems like it'd be fun.

I'm not so sure about 'fun'...but I like it well enough.

I get to legally cut up bodies. How does that not qualify as "fun"?

...well, yes, but there's more to it than that, you know.

Of course. Still, there has to be a reason I want to do it, and that's it.

Well, everyone has their reasons. What about 'cutting up bodies' interests you?

Oh, Grandmama has been giving me proper anatomy lessons for ages, but getting paid for it? I couldn't ask for a better job. It's quite fascinating, the inside of the human body.

It is. Not a lot of people understand that.

My family, thankfully, is not like most people. We Addamses pride ourselves on that.

Are you in college yet?

I finished my first semester just a few weeks ago. Biology major, and I work in a funeral home at present.

Good for you. What do you do at the funeral home?

Well, I used to do greeting and such, but the managers felt my time would be better spent taking care of paperwork. Rather dull, I'm afraid, and very irritating.

Everyone has to start somewhere. What college?

Columbia.

Way to go. I'm in New York City as well. If you'd ever like a tour of the morgue, I'd be happy to arrange something.

That would be wonderful.

I'd happily bring lunch. Grandmama's yak stew is simply delightful!

...I didn't know that yaks went in stew.

Oh yes! Yak meat with an excellent belladonna seasoning and Grandmama's secret recipe that I only get when I get married.

Hm. Well, I'm a try-anything-once kinda girl.

Wonderful!

*friendly smile* Just let me know when.
