Day 57: Sun Room [Third Shift]

Jul 01, 2011 00:48

Brunch had tasted delicious as usual, but he still felt guilty for enjoying it when so many other patients weren't as fortunate as him and Ritsuka. Still, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't grateful for his meals. His appetite had been pretty spotty during the week after his "sleep study", so Claude wanted to think he was making up for lost time ( Read more... )

Time seemed to be slipping away from him again. The last time he'd been awake, the all-black uniforms had been enforced (and honestly, he did like the style, he found it much more flattering) and now they were back to the old uniforms, like nothing had happened. Were the other uniforms a dream? It was getting harder and harder to keep track of it all... he'd spent far too much time here.

He felt listless and disoriented, out of place and the flickers he saw of other creatures at the side of his vision weren't helping. Watching a human FunRom would be suitably mindless and not very difficult, and he was curious about human entertainment after all. So this time, he decided to spend his time in the Sun Room. Maybe it'd help wake him up a little.

Even the morning's oddities and breakfast hadn't put Carter off his glee. He was finding out new cultural things and he might finally get an opportunity to use his bomb-making skills again. The Twin Pines incident had been too horrific for him to savor the flames and the destruction, but next time it would be so much better.

He was practically skipping. Did he want to do music today, or some paper folding, or maybe a card game? Wait, there was that movie today, wasn't it? Carter happily wandered into the Sun Room, looking for someone he'd need to explain the plot to.

Aha, there was Admiral ZEX! He hadn't seen ZEX in a few days, they should reconnect. Carter flopped down beside him, a big grin on his face. "Hi!" he whispered gleefully.

ZEX wasn't exactly expecting such cheerful company, and he blinked somewhat when Carter sat down beside him. It was far too easy to get lost in his own thoughts here lately... he needed to focus, and at least Carter was still here. Unlike the others...

"Oh, hello again." ZEX took a moment, then tried his best to give him a smile. It was hard to remember to do that, even after all this time. Using those muscles in his face that way always felt... strange. But it comforted humans to see it, and as odd as it may have been, the gesture should have matched his mood. If he remembered correctly. "I'm glad to see you're still here. Have you been well?"

He still felt somewhat distant and foggy-headed. In an effort to clear his thoughts, he tried to study Carter's body in the dark. It was hard to make him out, but he could still at least admire the broad lines of his body.

"Oh, great! I nearly got eaten by bats last night but Okita's going to help me put some bombs together so I think I'm having a pretty good day so far." Only in damned would that sentence both make sense and be legitimate.

Carter sat back in his chair, nearly twitching with excitement. And now it was time for a movie. "Hey, which one is this?" he asked, leaning to the side and whispering. "I came in late and missed the title." Some of them had sounded suspiciously like the story of his time in Stalag 13. If they'd accidentally brought in the Unsung Heroes' biography that would just be the neatest thing ever.

He'd expected maybe a book. But a full movie would just be the best thing ever. He'd be a celebrity around Landel's.

"Bats?" ZEX blinked at him curiously. No doubt some kind of earth creature he was yet to become familiar with. But his curiousity there quickly faded in favor of the second part of what he said. "Bombs? You make bombs?" This was perfect, this was just what he'd been trying to do for so long! Who would have thought that he'd stumble across a human who could do just what he was hoping for? "What kind of bombs?" He was too excited to try and keep the intensity from his voice.

He was too enthused by the prospect of finding a human who could make bombs and also liked him to pay much attention to the rest of the conversation, but he tried anyway. "Oh... I didn't quite catch the name myself. I was... preoccupied, I suppose." Bombs! This was perfect!

"I didn't tell you?" He was surprised by ZEX's enthusiasm but hardly displeased. Carter kept one eye on the movie while he kept talking. "I was a demolitions man during the war, my whole job was bombs. I make all kinds of bombs, big ones with TNT and little improvised ones. Okita's gonna see about getting me some gunpowder but so far I've only managed a molotov.

Boy, ZEX was just the best alien ever. Friendly, cheerful, and he was interested in the same things Carter was interested in.

"No, I don't believe you did." He could hardly contain his excitement. How could this have worked out so perfectly? "What a fortunate turn of events! I've been struggling to acquire some explosives myself... although I'm sure I don't have your expertise in that area." ZEX reached out to touch his arm. He was so pleased by this turn of events that if the nurses hadn't been around, he would have been quite happy to express his pleasure in... other ways. "Tell me, do you think you could manufacture an explosive that could, perhaps, destroy a locked door?" ZEX wasn't sure what a molotov was... some kind of human bomb no doubt. Maybe he could convince Carter to let him borrow it...
