Day 37: Arts and Crafts Room
Honey was relieved when breakfast was over. Even though there'd been plenty of sticky-sweet french toast to be had, the company left him feeling a little inadequate. Usually girls fawned all over him, but Callisto had been downright mean. Had he done something wrong? What kind of girl wanted to fight rather than play? It'd only been a few days

As the day progressed, Hitsu's mood remained as sour and morose as when he'd woken. Being forced by the nurses to go to the arts and crafts room did not improve his mood in the slightest. "Here, Tommy," one of the nurses said. "Why don't you draw a pretty picture? You'll like that, won't you?"
The captain didn't even dignify her with a response. As she prattled on, suggesting activities he might enjoy, he entirely tuned her out and focused on his own thoughts instead. Rangiku was right, they should do something for Renji's departure...but what? He was never good at the emotional side of things...maybe he should just leave it to her.
In either case, he wasn't about to play nice with the nurses. Not today. Not likely ever again.

Regardless of the case, Toph was frustrated. She literally stomped into the Arts and Crafts Room, teeth bared and fists clenched. The girl was technically readying herself for this shift's activities, but her nurse took it as a sign of aggression and nudged her over toward a more vacant area of the room. An area that happened to contain a patient and their nurse. This Toph knew by the fact that only one of them was talking her mouth off.
"So." Her eyes focused on the silent individual, as if she could see them. "Come here often?"

Still, there was no reason to be rude. "Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro," he said as a means of introduction.

Toph stomped her foot once in an effort to get a clearer profile of the guy. Anyone might have seen it as a strange response to an introduction; the earthbender didn't exactly care. "Toph Beifong," she returned after a brief pause.
Her head bobbed up and down then, continuing that facade of observing Hitsugaya. "Aren't you a little too short to be captain?"

Michiru's mood was marginally better once breakfast had ended. Luffy had been a delightful conversation partner, and not too hard on the eyes, either. There was a childish sort of cuteness in him that was refreshing. Maybe she would see about talking to him more often.
But for the moment, that was over, and now she needed to concentrate on her present situation. Usagi was still missing, and there was the relation with Seiya to consider. Did she really want to continue her cooperation with the foreign senshi? Greater numbers were useful, but if she needed a 'partner', Ami was far more trustworthy.
Preoccupied with her thoughts, Michiru took a box of crayons, some markers, and a few sheets of paper to a table. Painting would have provided more suitable relaxation, but if finger paints were the only option for that medium, she would rather pass.

Who had an interesting name, to say the least. "Superboy?" Sora parroted before he could stop himself. He supposed there could be weirder (maybe), and a name wasn't the most important thing about a person.
After all, this Superboy was pretty optimistic for being stuck in this place, and since Sora had never seen him before, that meant he had to be new. If he could stay happy even when he was tossed into this disorienting situation, then he must be a pretty strong person!
"Uhh, I'm Sora," he returned, holding his smile and realizing that it was somewhat more genuine now. "Nice to meet you!"

Most of the writing instruments seemed to lack the fine points he wanted for the detail work, so Leon settled on using one of the 'pens' given to all the patients. He chose a neutral colour of the thick, rough paper and set to sketching Chaltier from memory.
It wasn't hard. Leon remembered every inch of Chaltier's form perfectly.
[free! and just so you know, he's sketching his sword.]

Joshua was given to the artistic side of life, if he was allowed to say so. He spent a fair amount of time with them, and while the Shibuya aesthetic was a bit different from what 'normal' society went for, it was still artistic in its own right. Of course, the problem was that every artist needed tools, and what he found in this 'arts and crafts' room was rather... disappointing. Ah well; if all else failed, even if he didn't get to make anything himself, he could at least learn about who were those to talk about for such art.
There were a few, which Joshua found promising. But most of them were speaking to each other, and he did so dearly hate a crowd. Instead, he found someone off on his own, then walked up to the man, peering over his shoulder. A sword? Mm, a rough sketch right now, but better than nothing. He didn't say anything, of course, not yet, but that could come later. For now, he wanted to watch someone work.

However, in his current mood, Joshua couldn't help but answer in his usual teasing manner. "Is this far enough?"

Supplies in hand, she looked for a fairly empty table, one devoid of paint, hopefully, and found a boy sitting on his own. "Is it alright if I sit with you?" she asked shyly, waiting for his response before she set her supplies down.

"I see no reason why you can't," he said calmly, finishing up the line of notes before looking back up to her. He supposed Superman would have encouraged him to make an effort to be nicer to her, so he managed a small smile and indicated a seat opposite. It would allow them both optimal room to work after all.
"I... apologise," he said after a moment. "I've had several difficult experiences since my arrival here last night, so I've been somewhat preoccupied. I should introduce myself. I am Brainiac 5, member of the Legion of Super Heroes. You are?"
