DAY 45: Sun Room (Second Shift)

Nov 07, 2009 14:08

There was something fishy going on in the Institute today. All over the bulletin board, people were talking about having "woken up", having been "cured"... and it seemed as though ZEX was one of them. Tanaka wouldn't have recognized the note at all if it hadn't been signed - his wording, his handwriting, even his name had changed - and a part of ( Read more... )

Sokka had thankfully been allowed to spend some extra time in his room before he'd been forced into greeting the day. It might have been because he'd asked his nurse why someone had lit her on fire, but he wasn't going to argue with the extra time to feel better. After last night.... what had happened last night? He felt like he'd eaten that cactus from back in the Earth Kingdom, only this time he'd felt more sick than loopy. He remembered being in the office, but after that? Nadda.

The Sun Room spun a bit as he was led in and his nurse was nice enough to get him to a couch before he could fail to get there on his own. As she left, he gave a floppy wave after. "Bye nurse-lady," he drawled with a grin on his face.

[for the usually fuzzy-blue thing!]

Man, what had he gotten himself into?

Someone wanted to meet him for whatever reason, and Kurt was as nervous as he'd been since he'd arrived and found out that he turned into the fuzzy terror at night. Maybe he'd feel better about the whole thing if he didn't have this nagging feeling that the person who wanted to see him already knew him. Like Peter had, and Steve.

He couldn't worry about that now. It was next shift, he could mentally prepare himself now... by chasing a kitten around the room.

"Here kitty, kitty!" Kurt called, taking two large strides and scooping up the kitten into his hands. It didn't seem too pleased at being chased, but Kurt gave it a small scratch behind the ears and it seemed happy enough.

Kurt looked over at the person flopped on the couch, waving after his nurse. He looked like he was... well... high.

"Hey man," he said cautiously, holding the cat in one hand. "You okay?"

That had been nice, leading him to the couch like that. He'd never thought of it before, but the nurses here really were nice to them. Not at all like a prison should be.

Sokka folded his arms under his head and leaned over the couch arm, just watching the blur of the Sun Room. People and... fuzzy ball things everywhere. He found himself squinting to figure out what the fuzzy things running around the floor were and eventually figured out that they were cats. Now if they were real, he wasn't sure, but that didn't really matter. "Cute..." Sokka cooed to himself, wondering if one would come close enough for him to play with.

When someone spoke to him, it took Sokka a moment to get off the subject of how best to play with a kitten - string was good - before he realized that he was the one being questioned. He looked up to a blur holding a fluffy blur and grinned, "There are kitties! Who wouldn't be ok?" he answered a bit too perkily.

fuzzy_diablo November 9 2009, 04:03:06 UTC

...oh wow.

"Y-yeah," Kurt agreed, deciding this guy was way high or one of the actual crazies. "Who wouldn't be okay?"

He could think of a lot of people who wouldn't ever be comforted by the presence of 'kitties', but this guy must've been a little simple. Or just easily amused. Or drugged. Drugged was a good possibility.

"Hey, did they sedate you or something?" He asked, looking a little concerned. "You probably shouldn't play with one of the kittens if you've been drugged."

alwayscomesback November 9 2009, 04:33:53 UTC

Yup, kitties made everything a-ok! Or at least Sokka thought they did right then. He looked back to the floor again, following a whitish-grey fuzzy blur until it disappeared behind another couch further away. "No one I know," he answered, but something told him that wasn't really true.

His mind wandered a bit, to where he didn't know, but when he came back he was just able to catch the end of the same person telling him he was drugged. Drugged? That sounded familiar.

...

"THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!" Sokka snapped, pushing up from the couch arm as he finally realized exactly what had happened to him. Drugged! Of course! Why hadn't he thought of that? Aside from the fact that he had been...

Unfortunately the rest of him wasn't as ready to catch up with his mind, and the moment he pushed up, his hands went sliding off the arm, and Sokka's top half went over the edge. His stomach took the brunt of the hit as it landed on the arm, and with a groan Sokka just hung there.

Kitten in one hand, Kurt was sort of powerless to stop the other boy from falling over the arm of the couch. Crap! Kitten, dude on couch, kitten, dude on couch... Right! Kurt put the kitten down after trying to figure out what to do, then tried to help the other guy back onto the couch proper.

"I thought so..." Kurt muttered, grunting as he shoved Sokka over. "You okay man? Maybe you shouldn't make so many, euh... sudden movements until you clear up a little," Kurt suggested. He sat down next to the other boy, scooping up the kitten again and settling it on his lap. "What happened? Why did they drug you?"

"Yeah... that's an idea..." Sokka found he couldn't argue with the guy, thought he wouldn't have anyway for the help he was getting. "Thanks..." he sighed once he was back up. Things were still spinning, but things spinning upright was better, as was them spinning with much less blurring.

Sokka leaned his head back into the couch and tried to answer the guy. "Last night? I think..." or maybe that's just how he was remembering it, "We were in an office... and then... my nurse was on fire..."

fuzzy_diablo November 10 2009, 09:53:26 UTC

Kurt had to raise an eyebrow at that. "Your nurse was on fire?" he repeated slowly, wondering if he'd actually meant that or if it was just an unfortunate, drugged-up cobbling together of words. How on earth would he have set his nurse on fire? Maybe he had matches or a lighter, and had set a nurse's scrubs on fire when being escorted to a doctor's appointment? No, no, that couldn't be right--it was too crazy to even consider while not under the influence of drugs.

"What were you doing in an office last night?" Kurt asked, now genuinely curious as to what had happened to make the other young man this bad.

alwayscomesback November 10 2009, 17:55:50 UTC

Sokka rubbed at his eyes and gave his head a small shake, "Nah. Maybe... it doesn't sound right, so... probably not." After all, his nurse had come back, so unless she'd gone and gotten doused in water, she'd have been burnt to a crisp when she came back. Or at least have had some burns to speak of.

... hey, logic! Oh, how Sokka had missed it!

"We were exploring."
