The intercom's jingle rang out and the somewhat uninhibited movement that was going on between the main activity rooms halted as the Head Doctor made one of his usual announcements

A frustrated Senna came in to Alita acting like the cat that caught the canary. Great. At least one of them was happy.
She sighed, throwing herself on her bed before turning and grabbing the plate off the desk to pull next to her. "Yo," was her only greeting before shoving a few fries in her mouth.

"You look like you just had a pint of rotgut instead of the ale you ordered," Falis stated. "That's usually solved by decking the asshole that served it to you. Since they haven't poisoned you, I'll take a gander that you didn't deck anyone.'
The bounty hunter stabbed a piece of steak. "So what happened?"

Senna looked up at Alita. "Are these days really, really short to you?"
Reply
"And I've never really thought about how long the days are." Falis shrugged. "I get done what I need done, usually. Sometimes the vultures cut things short, but that's about it. The nights... those seem kind of short."
Reply
She fully sat up on the bed, stabbing the fork into the steak. "Every shift is a couple of minutes. Then it's night. So the day is an hour long?! I still don't know what the hell is really going on!"
Reply
"I don't know what's going on with you, but I managed to play an entire strategy board game earlier today," Falis replied.
Reply
"I don't think I'm crazy enough to imagine this. Since I've been here the days have literally been just an hour or two." She frowned, troubled that it wasn't the same for Alita. "Is that even possible?..."

The princess got up and went about her dinner ritual of yanking the wooden poles out of the closets. Back at her bed, she dropped the two new poles down and then puleld out from unde rher matress the single stake she had left, the braided cloth bandoleer and nice, beautiful, shiny katana that she didn't have the previous night since it'd been in Hokuto's room.
Sitting down on her bed, Falis glanced up at Seena. "Don't freak out on me cause I'm taking my shirt off," she said before proceeding to do just that. She still had the undergarment on and the lack of shirt revealed the bandages on her shoulder, With an annoyed look and a small wince, she started to pull the bandages off., revealing a thick line of stitches a good five to six inches long.
Reply
She continued finishing off her food, watching Alita curiously. Senna leaned over her mattress, fishing out the spear from the night before to prop against the wall. She looked up again when Alita spoke, noting the bandages. Getting off her bed, she went to the other girl. "Hey, you need some help with that? If you pull them by accident, it'll just have to get stitched again."
Reply
'Yeah... ok. I just need to get a good look at it. I've got some bandages here in a package in my desk drawer to redo them." The princess growled a little. "Fucking demons."
Reply
Leaving Alita for a minute, she sorted through the drawer mentioned, and found the bandages. "Uh, how do you want them? Exactly like they were?" Senna had no experience putting on actual bandages, but it couldn't be that hard, right?
"Real demons?" Senna asked. First monsters, then vampires, then aliens, and now demons. "I haven't seen anything at night. That's half of why I'm so confused."
Reply
Standing in the middle of the room, making sure to check where Senna was first, she closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. A moment later and she started going through one of the forms that required her to alternate the sword from hand to hand.
"I dunno if I'd call them real demons since they're normal people like us during the day, but last night they sure as hell were. Fire breathing, lightning tossing, flesh eating demons."
Reply
"Like patients? Or just random people?"
Reply
"They're patients. I call 'em Sparky and Fido. Fido got pissed off I called him that when I mentioned it on the board," she replied. "I told him to give me a different name to use, but he didn't. So he's Fido the Fucking Fire-Breathing Demon until he does."
Reply
Patients, huh? Now, wait. Why would... "So why are the patients attacking each other?" Senna tried not to sound like a child when she asked, but all she was doing was asking questions. It was annoying her, so it had to be annoying others.
