Day 53: Intercom, Dawn

[damned_intercom]

Although the day was sunny and warm, there seemed to be a strange tension within the walls of Landel's Institute. The nurses seemed a little more on-edge than usual, and they were already bustling to-and-fro in the hallways before the Head Doctor even made his announcement.

When she stood to investigate further, the nurse tried to take her arm and guide her from the room, Ruby jerked it back. "You touch me again, and I'll rip your guts right outta that pretty little throat of yours, and wear them for garters when I walk my ass outta here."

So, rather than fighting, she decided to do things the easy way and just sneered. "You know what? On second thought, breakfast sounds great." Fan-freaking-tastic. This time, the nurse didn't touch her, and instead just dismissed the two orderlies who she'd brought in and held the door of the room open for Ruby so she could lead her down the hall. Walking slowly out of the room, she glanced back at it as soon as she was out in the hallway and took note of the number -- F32. Didn't tell her much more than the fact that they were separated by gender in this quaint little funhouse.
