After what seemed like an eternity of being amused, irritable, bored, in pain, in excruciating pain, and any combination of those, Guybrush was met by the same soldier who had led him to the cafeteria. He wasn't offered a trip to the Sun Room to check the bulletin board, but didn't push for it anyway. That would have been more walking, and moving

Lion Ushiromiya. It didn't mean a thing to him. Most of the names here were foreign, so he hadn't really known what to expect. Still, some names would have made the gender obvious; in this case, Guy had no clue. He knew he'd be better off if he stopped dwelling on it, and it wasn't as if the confusion had ruined the conversation by any means, but he still wanted to know.

There were ways to find out, such as keeping an eye on which showers were used or what room block was returned to, but the last thing Guy wanted was to be labeled as creepy. And he wasn't! He had a very good reason for needing to know, after all.

But that was all shoved to the side in the interest of trying to figure out what aspects of the institute Lion hadn't yet been warned about. While Lion seemed to think that a lot had already been covered, Guy seriously doubted that. There was just too much to touch on in one conversation. "Well, I'm guessing you heard about the nights, with the monsters. How about the brainwashing and experiments? Or the fact that we go into a nearby town once a week?" There was also the issue of visitors, the intercom and the radio, and the outside area that could be accessed. But the last thing he needed to do was overwhelm someone who seemed to be doing their best to take this all in stride. Which wasn't easy.
