Day 46: Intercom, Evening

[damned_intercom]

The intercom jingle went off, mirroring the cheery voice that came out of the speakers soon after it.

"Hello, everyone, and I hope you found productive endeavors in both your music-making and your therapy sessions! Now, our nurses will be escorting all of you to your rooms and to your delicious dinners. Tonight, we're serving moist slices of

Honey would be pleased with dessert, and after the past couple nights of it being nothing all that grand he was glad to be able to offer it. The ninja set his next to his roommate's the moment his nurse left him. The rest of the meal looked palatable and fairly light, which was good. Sai quietly sat down to begin on his salad.

He had plans for the night, which was good, though he hadn't posted a message on the bulletin for Usopp. It was probably too early for that anyway. They were just becoming reacquainted.

Once his roommate arrived he decided he'd go ahead and change clothes. He also felt the need to stretch. There hadn't been enough strenuous activity for him to participate in over the past couple days and he didn't want to get rusty.

After a long day of play, Honey was feeling somewhat sleepy by the time his nurse led him to his room. Usually he would get an afternoon nap at the very least, but he hadn't had more than a couple of those since arriving here. He wasn't on the verge of being cranky just yet, but he was definitely feeling sleepier than usual.

He stopped mid-yawn to greet his roommate though, waving a tired hand and giving Sai a cheery smile. "Sai-chan!" he cooed, face brightening visibly when he saw that there was not one, but two servings of chocolate cake on his tray.

"Caaaake!" he declared happily before taking a big bite with his plastic fork.

Sai smiled real and wide at Honey's declaration, an inkling of something in the back of his voice that might have been laughter. Almost. "I'm glad that makes you happy." Indeed, Honey was so innocent and childlike that the ninja never knew quite what to make of him. He was certainly good at brightening the mood of a room.

That might be the same face Naruto would make over a large bowl of ramen after having been away from it for several days. He knew the cry of joy was different only in the word used.

He returned to his own dinner, hoping to get a few more bites in before he went about getting ready for the night.

Honey made quick work of his first piece of cake, almost regretting that he had to eat the normal food afterward and ruin the taste. He kicked his feet back and forth, humming every other bite as he finished the last of the chocolate with his finger, scraping it from the plate.

"It's so good! Thank you Sai-chan!" he remembered that without Sai's generosity, he'd only be getting half as much cake tonight. It was a noble sacrifice, in Honey's opinion. And Takashi usually gave up his too. He really hoped that was because they just didn't like cake as much and that he wasn't being too much of a bother. As much as he loved cake, he also loved his friends too.

"Did you have a good day? I got to play with the kittens! They're so soft."

"You're welcome." It was hard not to smile around his roommate, especially when he didn't have some issue weighing him down. Granted, there was still the overall danger of the Institute to worry about, as well as what to do with Kakashi's old teammate who was sixteen years away from the people he knew, but Sai himself felt lighter emotionally than he had over the past few days. ...The past while, really.

"My day wasn't bad. My friends were back to their usual selves." Again with the childlike attitude. Sai hardly thought about the cats when he went into the sun room. Usually he was posting on the bulletin or having a serious conversation with someone.

"Mm, same for me. I'm glad they're alright now. It was really troubling... I hope nothing like that happens again. It was too hard to think that they wanted to be someone else," he replied, sighing and taking a bite of his potatoes, but eying the piece of cake he'd saved for dessert with something akin to longing. He was glad Sen was feeling so much better, even if he did feel off about the whole thing. It would only make things worse if he got depressed about it too. Besides, there were a lot more things he could be happy about. Like the new friends he'd made and the fun they'd had together.

"Did you get to play a lot with your friends today? I wanted to see what the Music Room is like, but I played with the kitties instead. Which did you pick?"

Re: M60

[tsunagari]

"I was sort of ushered toward the music room, but I spent the time talking with a friend." He might as well have been left in the sun room for as little as he touched anything musical, but he could understand why the staff might want to get people to participate in other activities. Then again, this was looking at the staff with the notion that they were actually there to help, which they might think they were, but who knew how much was actually orchestrated by Landel for whatever reason.

He stood now, walking over to the closet so he could begin changing for the night. "You can see it next time. There's some instruments and music players" Though everyone messing around with all the different devices at once made the place rather noisy.
