Ah, biology class! The bane of every high schooler with a week stomach. Roz had nothing against the subject for the most part. It wasn't exactly difficult. Sure, the teacher was a bit eccentric, but at least that made the class more interesting. She actually liked most of the information, too. Knowing this basic stuff was definitely going to help her prepare for studying forensic science in college. And yet, there was one activity, however, that Roz had dreaded since she first signed up for the class.
Disection.
The word alone made the young girl's skin crawl. Seeing a dead thing was bad enough you, actually having to touch it and...Ick! Cutting people up might be in her blood, but that didn't stop Roz's stomach from tangling itself into uncomfortable knots. She'd have to deal with dead buddies and guts eventually, she knew. So, she tried and executably failed to keep the look of horrified disgust off her face as her teacher handed her a tray with a slimy toad corpse right in the center.
Luckily, she wouldn't have to face this trial alone. Unluckily, she didn't get to choose who struggled beside her. The teacher had assigned them partners for this wonderful activity. Roz really couldn't tell if that made things better or worse.
Smelly frog in hand, Roz turned and headed back to the lab table where her partner waited with scalpels and other sharp metal tools. She dropped the tray on the table as if it would burn her if she held it any longer. Nose scrunched up, she tried her best to force a smile as she looked up at her partner. "So, uh...you want to start?"

we are all part of the same, sick little games. and i need to get away, get away. | slick was ready. this was something she never had a problem with; vague memories of messing with bugs as a kid flooded into her mind, waiting there with tweezers in hand. she had subconsciously began tapping them against her knuckles, lightly gloved in that thing plastic excuse for what the school provided. ah well, it was enough to keep her from getting too many guts under her nails.
at least she had ended up with one of the better partner possibilities. voclain had... two? three other classes with her this year? and they had shared a few before. now, slick had never really gone out of her way to spend time with her, sure; but this wasn't their first rodeo, and that made it a bit easier. slick shifted a bit as roz returned with specimen number one.
"i shall do the honors." the small blade of the scalpel seemed to shine a bit as she picked it up. "alas, sergeant munten the brave frog soldier will not be able to have an open casket funeral." she moved forward with the knife and began the process of the first slices, trying to remember that guide that was given to them before this day.

There was no denying the relief Roz felt over not having to be the one to chop up a dead amphibian. A small smile crossed her features, if only for a moment. She rather liked Slick. Not that the two girls had ever interacted for longer than a class period. There was, however, a sense of familiarity from years of existing near one another, and Slick always made these little group activities interesting.
As much as she detested this particular activity, Roz was not about let her partner do all of the work. She readjusted her plastic gloves before grabbing one of the small metal pins from the assortment of of uncomfortably pointy objects. She might have taken a breath to calm herself, if the classroom didn't smell so awful.
"Such a tragedy," she replied, trying not to sound as disgusted as she felt. "How ever will his wife and tadpoles morn him?"
Once Slick had sliced Sargent Mutton's stomach open, Roz pinched one of the flaps of skin and pealed it to the side. The feeling of the frog's skin through rubber gloves caused her to shudder her shudder. Trying not to gag, Roz poked the pin through the skin to keep it in place.
