hereClark did his best to ignore his stinging finger. It hurt, but it wasn't as bad as nearly getting gored that time with Claire, to put things in perspective. Still, if he was supposed to be as powerless as a human, he wished it'd gone all the way; right now it seemed to be in this uncomfortable halfway point and he had no idea if he still

In any event, everything in here seemed to be in cabinets and boxes, so nothing caught Porky's eye immediately. He began rummaging through the cabinet closest to him, but nothing useful seemed to be in there. Just a few uniforms and other miscellaneous articles of clothing. In the box next to it, however, were pairs of sterilized gloves and goggles. If Porky planned to use chemicals against any potential threats, it would be helpful to have a few pairs of gloves and maybe a pair of goggles or two to ensure that Porky wasn't hurt by the chemicals as well. A few of those went into the bucket.
But that didn't solve Porky's storage problem. In fact, the bucket was only carrying more now. Checking the boxes next to the cabinet offered a solution, however. The box was full of sheets and pillows. Grabbing one of the pillows, he pulled it out of its pillowcase and promptly discarded it, intending to use the pillowcase as a sack.
With his storage problem now solved, Porky began to look through the other boxes for anything else he could use. While rummaging through a few more boxes, Porky grabbed a couple first aid kits and a meal tray to possibly use as a small shield.
"Alright, Xelloss," Porky said finally, "I'm done here."

Sadly, it just didn't seem likely for tonight, which was especially too bad considering how King Porky seemed rather satisfied with his gatherings. It wasn't usually that neat when there was an attack here, anyhow. Monsters had a funny habit of ganging up at uncomfortable times. It might be easier even if they were attacked to just fight than to try to escape and be hurt in the effort, and that wasn't worth it to see a king get eaten alive by some unlikely animal mutation, hybrid, zombie or chimera. As much fun as that by itself would be.
Taking bandages or other supplies for himself simply didn't occur to him. As long as Xelloss had spent in this human body now, the foresight that injuries needed cleaning and binding sometimes very quickly wasn't terribly driven in. Even when he'd been hurt, the Institute itself had cleaned it up efficiently overnight, like his own 'body's' regeneration. "Oh, you must have a very creative mind, your highness. I'm sure you'll do well here with that kind of mindset! I think it's the most important aspect to survival."
Well, that or hiding, but hiding wouldn't ensure nobody would come by the room at night and kidnap them away to whatever fate awaited those unfortunate individuals, like Lord Hellmaster. And being active was far more entertaining.
