Written for @lonelyeyesweek
Day 1 - Outsider’s p.o.v.
Michael’s girlfriend not only rejected his marriage proposal but she also broke up with him. He wants to sulk and be alone. Or overall to do anything but to engage in conversation with a weird sea man who decides to discuss his own failed marriage proposals with him.

To say that Michael is not having the best day today would be an understatement. Things like that one runs out of coffee, forgets an umbrella on a stormy day and loses his wallet are unfortunate, yes, especially when they pile up on each other like this. But they are still not tragedies. Unlike his girlfriend, well, ex-girlfriend now, rejecting his marriage proposal on their one-year anniversary dinner.
He has no idea what he has done wrong. Yes, they have been seeing each other much less lately but she has started a new job so of course she has not had so much time for him. They were together for a whole year! What did she mean that he is going too fast and being too clingy? Did she forget how he let her stay at his place after she lost her last job and supported her while she was looking for a new one? Was she just using him?

Charlie is thrilled about their promotion. They were working in the Research department of the Usher Foundation for quite a while and most of the time they were just sorting documents and doing background checks of items from the comfort of their office. Nothing they would call real research. Nothing that would allow them to come in contact with the supernatural and cursed-… They stop themselves in their mind. No, these are not the appropriate terms as their boss would say. ‘The objects with suspicion of unnatural occurrence’ is what they are expected to call them. Or something like that.
But who cares. Charlie has always been fascinated by occult and unexplainable stuff and they will finally get their chance to learn more about it. They will get to lead their own project researching their own item with a history of ‘unnatural occurrences.’ Last few days they have been studying all the information so far, they prepared possible suggestions for experimentations and they’ve signed all the necessary documentation regarding safety measurements with handling it. And today, today they can finally start the real work-
“What do you mean ‘the item not found’? Check again!” Charlie leans over to see at the screen of the artifact storage curator because she surely must have put it wrongly in the system. The curator gives them an annoyed look and turns the screen away from Charlie.
“I have just added in the code you said,” she shrugs, “It says the items are no longer in care of Usher Foundation as project #0110207 ‘Wedding Rings’ was canceled-“

ACT 1
Elias Bouchard does not care about Peter Lukas. Please keep this information in your mind as it is very important for Elias that everyone knows that.
ELIAS: Good afternoon, Mr. Lukas.
His voice is dripping with politeness. He does his best to hide any signs of familiarity in front of the audience. There is no audience.
ELIAS: What a pleasant surprise!
He fills the silence in the time Peter is taking a seat with more unnecessary words. The previously done proclamation could not be any further from the truth. Peter’s presence is no surprise as Elias knew very well Peter was coming. Peter’s presence is also not very pleasant as Elias is still mad at him about the thing that happened the last time. It is not important for the audience to know what was the thing that happened the last time.
PETER: Likewise. Mr. Bouchard.
Peter hates performing the play. It is pointless. There is no audience to perform for and they both know the script. Unfortunately for Peter, he does not have much to say in it.
Oh, yes, and they also happen to be ex-husbands. Important details that should have been mentioned sooner in the script. Apologies.
