Nightshift 35 -- Staff Only Outdoor Eating Area

[from here]There were outside. Knives took a moment to look upwards at the sky to see the stars. It wasn't the sky that belonged to Gunsmoke and despite how long Knives had lived on that planet (over a century) he felt no nagging sense of homesickness. What had take place been but a barren promise of a wasted paradise ( Read more... )

Subaru looked upwards as well, but for entirely different reasons. It would take some charting and divination for the stars to tell him much of anything, and he was too on-edge to appreciate the beauty of the night right now. No, Subaru looked to the sky because he remembered all too well the bird creatures that had attacked the patients after last week's field trip. "Be careful, there's very large birds out here somewhere."

"I think that's one thing on a long list of things we have to be worried about," Knives pointed out. "Is the kitchen this way?" he asked, moving to the wall that was connected to the larger part of the Institute. There was an area to the other side that overlooked the field, but it made little sense to put a staff kitchen over there. Still, he wanted to make sure he was heading the right way before he went shifting through the place.

That and it was unnerving to look up and see constellations that he had learned about using historic star charts. It was unnerving to think that he might actually be on Earth. He didn't want to have to face that possibility. Earth should have died a long time ago.

"Yeah. There's an indoor eating room, and then the kitchen. The door into the kitchen was marked as locked but not impassable. If no one else has been this way yet we'll probably have to break it." That didn't sound like a lot of fun, and it wasn't exactly something Subaru was built for. Knives was at least taller, but he didn't exactly look like the breaking-down-doors type either. But appearances could be deceptive--Subaru himself was quite a bit stronger than he looked.

Knives nodded again and then went through the door into the food counter.

Zelnick led the way out onto the patio, flicking his light over the expanse of it before turning towards the door into the kitchen-- then pausing, light going back to one of the tables, with its closed umbrella. Huh... could he do something with a five-foot-long stick? Probably... but he was more likely to be able to do something with a knife, so he moved on, for the moment. Still, something to keep in mind...

He paused here, glancing at the umbrellas again. They were still big, heavy, five-foot sticks, and they hadn't exactly found anything better, now had they?

"Tanaka," he said slowly, "is there any reason one of those," and he waved his flashlight over the umbrellas, "couldn't be used as a stave or something?"

Admittedly, they were probably taller than Tanaka, but there was no harm in asking.

ZEX followed along, still mostly wrapped up in thoughts of the creature and how its skin had felt. It was all over so quickly!

Ah, a question. ZEX looked at the rods, trying to think of anything other than the dead body he'd left behind. "It's a shame humans have so many bones in their arms... it really limits your mobility with such things." An idle comment, and then ZEX was fantasizing again.
