Day 53: Sun Room

Dec 04, 2010 20:11

When the intercom came on to announce the shift change, the feeling of dread returned. Anise had calmed down considerably since the morning, and she felt more ready to discuss the previous night with Ilia... but not as ready as she wanted to be ( Read more... )

Ilia's leg had done relatively well as they day had progressed, but now that she had been on the move for a while it was starting to ache. She moved a bit slower when she made her way out of the cafeteria, but maybe it was a good thing. She would be lying if she said was looking forward to the meeting with Anise. The last two days with the girl had been a good time spent fostering a budding friendship, but could such a new relationship hold water after a night like last? After all, Ilia had practically abandoned the girl there at the end. When she had needed her the most Ilia had selfishly ignored Anise and attacked the Shadow taunting her, letting her rage take over until she couldn't even think about anything else ( ... )

It didn't take long for Ilia to find Anise, which may have been a relief in its own way. During the time that Anise was alone with her thoughts, her stomach had managed to twist itself into a knot with all her worrying. When Ilia greeted her, she nodded and offered a small, awkward smile in return. "Um... hi." After all the fun, light-hearted chats they'd had over the past few days, it felt wrong for there to be this much tension in the air. Looking over her shoulder Anise gave the other side of the couch a brief glance. "You can sit down... if you want ( ... )

Ilia was more than happy to take a seat, sinking down into the couch with a sigh. It was a relaxed sigh of relief, but it wasn't entirely due to just getting the chance to rest her leg. Thankfully, Anise hadn't just outright told Ilia she never wanted to see her again. That would have definitely killed any hope for fixing this relationship. By the way she invited Ilia to sit, it seemed she wanted to try and talk it out. Anise really was mature for an adolescent. Ilia was continuing to learn she didn't give the girl enough credit.

Or that was what she hoped was the case. It was always possible, possible, that what the Shadow Anise had said was true, that she lured people in with her cute face and then used it to her advantage. Well, that was going to be hashed out here, so Ilia wasn't going to jump to any conclusions ( ... )

Without really meaning to, Anise found herself holding her breath once Ilia sat down, unsure as to where this was going to go. The woman's smile caught her off guard, and Anise watched her as she listened to her suggestion. And then... she finally released the breath, feeling relieved.

Ilia was asking for honesty, and that was what Anise had planned to give her in the first place. But more importantly, did that mean that Ilia still believed that Anise would be honest with her? There was no way to be sure, but Anise still appreciated it, whether it was a sincere expectation or not. With a small smile, she nodded her agreement. "I'd like that, too. I promise."

The smile on her face faded before long, and the girl looked down to her knees, feeling a little too awkward to maintain eye contact. "But, um... I don't blame you if you don't take my word for it. A lot of the stuff my shadow said... kinda was true."

Once lunch was over Yukito expected Yue to re-take control; since they were in his body at the moment and nothing else was pressing, it made sense to him. And yet the guardian showed no sign of a desire to interrupt his silent brooding, and when gently prompted only withdrew father into himself. Did the situation with Fai really bother him that much? Apparently so. Or it could be that plus the situation with Sakura, or only Sakura. It wasn't like there was ever any lack of stuff to worry about here, especially for Yue.

Yukito just gave a mental shrug, determined not to let matters drag him down; Yue could worry more than enough for the both of them, after all. Instead he just wandered over to investigate the bulletin, pausing on a particular note signed "R.Aoyagi." Was that... Ritsuka? The boy who'd been so concerned about the people taken for experimentation? This note seemed to imply so, given its content, and Yukito read over the responses with a thoughtful air ( ... )

With lunch over, Ritsuka left the room as quickly as possible. He made up some excuse to his nurse about why he didn't want to listen to music right now and then ditched her at the door, heading across the Sun Room toward the bulletin board. He hadn't checked it since he went into the cafeteria, so he really needed to make sure that the nurses hadn't ripped it down or something. He had tried to be careful about his wording, but he wasn't the best at codes so it was possible that the nurses had figured him out ( ... )

Perhaps this group would give them a good alternative to worry about Sakura, especially if she was still asleep when they went to find her tonight. Would Touya be interested in--

--was someone staring at him?

Yukito glanced to the side and blinked, a little startled to see the author of the note he was reading standing right there and looking a little annoyed, as well. "Oh, Ritsuka-kun," he said without thinking, smiling at the younger boy in a friendly manner. "I was just reading your note, and now here you are. What a coincidence!"

He'd already been in the sun room earlier, but the music room was just so... full of noise. When given the option, Sai chose to return to the sun room. It wasn't as if there was any activity in this place he hadn't already sat through, so he didn't feel as if he was really missing out on anything.

He grabbed one of the felines off the floor by the scruff of its neck, finding a seat and placing it in his lap so that he appeared occupied. The kitten was a little put out by this at first, but ear scritches were ear scritches and it didn't stay annoyed for long. The ninja, meanwhile, was looking distinctly... bored? If his bored expression appeared any different from his typical expressionless one, it was hard to tell, but possibly noticeable to anyone who actually knew him.

The Sun room was thankfully lacking in people creating irritating amounts of noise, so Scar couldn't help but relish the small victory he had in convincing his nurse that, no, staying in the music room wouldn't be beneficial for his poor head. It wasn't as though he would be missing anything important, either way.

He had never claimed to understand why the nurses would drag him to the other activities; he'd always end up glaring at the opposite wall rather than actually participating. Part of it was the lack of interest, and the music room wasn't any different. It wasn't as though he minded the music in itself - it could be rather entertaining, after all - but he wasn't quite a fan of all these silly human means of creating some horrible excuse thereof. Or listening to it, whatever the case may be ( ... )

[Let know if this isn't OK?]

Released? How could... Taura wasn't even sure how to finish that thought, except in a bewildered heap of hurt and curiosity and disbelief. She pinned a note on the board, a few first tries going in the trash before her hands would stop shaking with suppressed rage or sadness; which it was she refused to acknowledge lest it overwhelm her.

A little squeak caught her attention -- the same kitten that Leela had been playing with was now demanding attention from Mr. Scar. She swallowed hard. She couldn't make the apology she wanted to, but she could at least...get a start on it. She cleared her throat, a low rumble.

"Mr. Scar? Can I," bother you, "talk to you?"

longlivetehking December 6 2010, 15:10:03 UTC

[It is very much okay! <3]

Scar had been in the progress of another attempt at removing the kitten from his person, but the little hairball happened to be much more intelligent irritating than he had anticipated. Nails dug into the fabric of the silly human clothing, indicating that the kitten didn't quite enjoy the idea of moving. An irritated sigh escaped his lips.

Great! As if he hadn't dealt with enough pushy yet persistent little hairballs to last him a life time ( ... )

"Is it that obvious?" Her nose crinkled up a little bit in embarrassment. "I wanted to apologize. To both of you."

She looked away, then, her eyes a bit suspiciously damp. She hadn't had to tell someone they'd lost a friend before, even if she wasn't quite sure friend was the right word. Goad, maybe. That could be just as important in a place like this.

She'd have to get used to it, if she was going to lead a squad. No-one liked notifying family, but it was a reality, and at least von Karma might not be dead. Released could mean so many things. "The medtech," she said, waving a hand in the direction of the nearest knot of 'techs, who were coaxing patients into the already-crowded music room. "Said that Karl Fuchs had gone home. Mister von Karma, I mean. Did you know him well?"

Ahhh- and just as he'd managed to find a nice, quiet, comfy little spot to pretend he was lying under a tree on his home planet instead of stuck in a homicidal mental hospital, someone had to charge in and start making more noise than the rest of the room put together! Wincing slightly, Kibitoshin glanced across to the source of all that laughing- and found it was a lot smaller than he'd imagined it would be. And a lot closer"G-Goku!" But that was all he could get out. Blinking rapidly, he could only watch in startled silence as the the soon-to-be- (current-? former-? Stupid Landel with his time travelling!) champion of the universe was wrestled into submission by... a cat. A cute little blonde tabby armed with its own teeny-tiny set of razor-blade claws which, for the moment, it seemed intent on burying in said champion's face ( ... )

"Hurt more too!" Wailing like a siren one last time, Goku gave up trying to halt the sting by slapping the scratches with his hands. It was just not effective.

Finding a nice spot on the carpet, the little boy parked himself and crossed his legs. While those couches weren't uncomfortable, he preferred the solid feeling of the ground. Those puffy cushions threatened to drown him, and Goku didn't appreciate that treachery. The floor was just fine!

His nurse was nowhere to be seen in the Sun Room, which was nice. But Goku noticed, however, the others were still keeping tabs on everyone, even him from time to time. His fat eyebrows knitted together in a childish glower as he spoke. "Why are they always watchin' us...? It looks so boring!"
