Day 53: Sun Room, Morning

[scarefaux]

With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he

Claire had discovered the bulletin board. What a day of discoveries! First, he'd woken up and discovered himself in a mental institute where he was not supposed to be. Then he had discovered waffles. And now, he had discovered the fun of bulletin boards! It was a novel thing to him, communicating through slips of paper on a community board like this. Everything was public, but that made things many times more interesting, he decided. He'd already had fun looking around all the other posts and replying where he felt the need to. Or rather, replying when he felt like it.

His nurse was a short distance away, still trying to catch her breath from chasing down her patient. Claire frowned at her, disapproving that she seemed to be both incredibly moody and incredibly short-of-stamina. If they were going to assign someone to chaperon him, at least pick one that can keep up with him!

His nurse has caught her breath now and is waving a hand frantically at him, ushering him away from the the board. Oh well, he'd been here for a while now, reading replies. He could come back to it later! His note was sure to get attention here when it was smack in the middle of the board!

Satisfied, he stepped away from the board, scanning this new room he had arrived yet. It was a big place, he saw, with plenty of room. There were already many other patients around. He noticed the pink-hair of his newest friend, Sakura, but saw that she was talking to someone. Oh well, it was good to meet new people!

Hmm, someone to talk to... there! There was a guy just curled up in an armchair near a window somewhere. Claire made his way over. Hey, there was even another armchair to sit in a little ways away! He plopped himself down in it, scooting the chair closer so he could talk to this guy.

“Hey there!”

Kurt had been contemplating counting steps or something like that, when he heard someone sit down near him and scoot closer. He looked over his shoulder and saw that someone he'd never seen before was approaching him. Kurt always liked meeting new people (when he looked like everybody else), especially people who were friendly off-the-bat.

"Hi," Kurt said, swiveling easily in the armchair until he was facing the other guy. "How's it going?"

"Fine, I guess! This place is quite entertaining!" Good! This guy seemed like he was willing to talk! Maybe he could get some questions answered here then. The bulletin board seemed to only be useful for a limited amount of information gathering. It seemed the institute they were at censored anything that was too conspicuous of the patients. To be expected! Claire could deal with that!

Claire got straight to the point. He knew what he wanted, after all, and he was going to get it.

"So! Who are you? Oh, and have you been here a while, because I've got some questions and it'd be rather pointless if you're new like I am."
