Conversation between Zoey and Lola

Lola
Hey, have you noticed how weird Quinn is?

Zoey
Hasn't she always been like this?

Lola
I don't think so

Lola
She would usually give herself time to take a bathroom break from whatever wacky project she was working on before. Now she hasn't and everyone is noticing

Zoey
That's why I stuffed a small piece of paper towel up my nose so I wouldn't have to smell anything

Zoey
But that's not going to work in the long-run, especially with Quinn looking like that

Lola
It's like she hasn't even showered in days

Zoey
You think we should talk to her?

Lola
More than that, Zo. She needs an intervention

Zoey
An intervention from what, though? What is making her this upset that she has to work continuously on her projects?

Lola
That's a great question

Lola
Maybe we could tell her that she needs an intervention from her inventions until we figure out what's really wrong with her

Zoey
Good idea. Do you want to bring her in on this chat?

Lola
Sure

Lola has added Quinn to the chat

Quinn
Why did the two of you put me in this chat? I have inventions to work on

Zoey
We actually wanted to talk to you about that

Lola
You've been working on these inventions for days on end. Don't you think you should take some time away to clean yourself up

Quinn
Why would I do that?

Zoey
Well, you know, there's a smell emitting from our room, and it's not coming from us

Quinn
What does that have to do with me?

Lola
Quinn, you smell terrible. You haven't showered in forever, and everyone knows you've been using the bathroom in our closet

Lola
If you don't stop that right now, we will leave and get us a new roommate

Zoey
Lola!

Lola
What?

Zoey
You didn't have to be rude about it

Quinn
No, she's fine

Quinn
I understand. I shouldn't let my inventions get in the way of my personal hygiene

Zoey
What even are you working on anyway?

Lola
Yeah, what's been making you act like this?

Quinn
I've been working on a phone app that lets you hack into other phones around you

Zoey
That sounds . . . interesting

Lola
We shouldn't be worried, right?

Quinn
Meh. I've been reading your texts for days

Zoey
What exactly have you read?

Quinn
Everything

Zoey
Great

Lola
Does she know something I don't?

Zoey
No

Quinn
Yes

Lola
Tell me what it is, Zoey!

Zoey
It's nothing. Really. I was just talking to Chase about things

Quinn
It really was nothing. They didn't even talk about their feelings for each other

Lola
Well, that's boring

Lola
Hey, what is this?

Quinn
Put that down right now!! It's not safe for you to pick up yet!

Zoey
If it isn't safe, why is it in our room?

Quinn
Because it's another one of my inventions

Lola
What even is it?

Quinn
Just a little something I've been working on

Quinn
It'll be done soon enough, and it won't bother us again

Zoey
Are you sure?

Quinn
Completely

Lola
Why does she have an evil twinkle in her eyes?

Zoey
I have no idea but I think we should leave now

Lola
Good idea. I don't want to be trapped with that crazy maniac right now
