Day 46: Sun Room

Dec 16, 2009 00:12

Peter woke up suddenly, his body twisting in the bed and then forcing him to catch his breath in pain. Pain, which was coming from his middle because of the thing that had scratched him last night, and after that ( Read more... )

Right as Harvey and Jason had been gearing up to break open yet another door, Harvey's vision had gone completely black and the next thing he knew, it was morning. Just like always ( ... )

[OOC: Sure, one more should be fine, though caveat: I'm probably going to be slooooow. And vK here won't be the greatest company as if he ever really were. X3 ]

"Mr. Fuchs! Come on! You've already missed breakfast. Are you planning to stay in this dreary room all day?"

Manfred von Karma shot the blasted nurse a defiant look, his arms folded and anger rumbling in his chest. Like hell was he willing to show his face in public today. Not after what had happened yesterday and the night prior to that. Never mind that this was all Martin Landel's doing. Oh, he would make the insolent bastard pay for the humiliating torture two nights ago... and for the mind-tampering that had manifested yesterday, in front of five too many people at that ( ... )

Harvey had been so busy thinking about how he was going to handle his encounter with Tim that there was something of a delay in him noticing that someone had sat down nearby. When he did have the presence of mind to glance over, all he saw was an older man glaring at him.

On one hand, it was nice not having to deal with yet another kid. A lot of the people here were young, and the generation gap could both make things awkward and make him feel old. Still, this stranger looked downright cantankerous, and Harvey wasn't sure if the man was looking at him like that because of the bandages wrapped around half of his face or just because he felt like it.

Still, no manner book said that it was okay to just stare at someone like that, and so Harvey let out a half-angry sigh as he regarded the older man.

"I was here first, if you hadn't noticed." He wasn't going to get up and move just because this guy had an attitude problem.

By now, von Karma was certain that he had never met this man after all. Though his attempt to scowl an identity out of his seatmate proved ineffective, the voice and diction were neither that he recognized. It was most likely safe enough to continue sitting here -- even though this stranger seemed to want to claim territorial rights to the entire couch.

Making no move to get up, the older man closed his eyes as he finally responded. "I beg your pardon. There is a conspicuous lack of unoccupied seating in this room." Which, to him, was true; a number of those furry little nuisances were needlessly taking up what would have been otherwise available seats. "The past few days have been especially trying for me. Were it up to me, I wouldn't even be in here right now. However, the blasted nurse gave me no choice." The lines in his forehead deepened at these words, and he clenched onto his left arm ( ... )

While Harvey could understand perfectly well that there weren't all that many places to sit in a room like this, that didn't defeat the fact that this guy had taken a seat and then glared at him as if Harvey shouldn't be there. Looks like it had been for a different reason, but at this point he didn't really care either way. The guy was doing less glaring and more talking now, which wasn't necessarily better, but ( ... )

"Oh, believe me, they have heard of 'sick days.' They just seem to force them on us only when it is least convenient for us," von Karma said, frowning. Bah, a stroke, of all the most pathetic, implausible explanations for a six-day stay in the infirmary, he grumbled to himself. Yet they won't allow me to remain in my room for one whole day just to think.

Used to the same reaction from most other people, von Karma was hardly ruffled as the man averted his gaze from the prosecutor's scrutiny. After all, few people could tolerate it. But unlike the typical weaklings who were unable to bear von Karma's intense eye contact for any period of time, this one seemed to have intrinsic fortitude. Ergo, someone possibly worth his valuable time to learn more about.

For a split second, a feeling quite foreign to him pervaded his awareness as he continued to study the bandaged man. Perhaps he should quit staring so directly. After all, were he the one coerced into making a public appearance in such a visible condition, he, too, would... ( ... )

That was an interesting tidbit that Harvey hadn't come across before. From the sounds of it, this man had been forced to stay in his room at one point. That had never been the case for Harvey, but he was glad for it. While he definitely had his share of moments where he would rather be by himself than dealing with all of the clueless people in the institute, he wouldn't get nearly as much done if he didn't bear through some of the pointless shifts ( ... )

"Mr. Dent," von Karma nodded as he gave his seatmate's hand a firm, businesslike shake before releasing it. He was about to go through the customary motion of declaring this a "pleasure" when Mr. Dent asked him the last question he cared to answer right now. Blast it!Still, as the older man strove to conceal his dismay, he had to admit to himself that this Mr. Dent wasn't merely an ordinary patient with the intelligence to match. Something about how the man queried him was reminiscent of his days in the courtroom. von Karma couldn't quite put his finger on it just yet, but until he was certain of just who this man was, he would have to exercise more caution around him ( ... )

It was good to know that Harvey didn't have to ditch his current seatmate due to wanting to stay, well, properly alive. Much like von Karma, he didn't know what to think about all of that buzz that had gone around regarding some sort of infection from the zombie bites. It just seemed too ridiculous and sensational, but the fact that those things had attacked them in the first place was its own answer, in a way. If the things themselves existed, why shouldn't their bites be infectious ( ... )
