Day 22: Intercom, Dinner

Mar 10, 2007 05:16

As the intercom switched on, the shuffling of papers was the first thing that could be heard rather than the voice of the Head Doctor. It seemed he had been going through a lot of them today, a fact which could perhaps be attributed to the fact that so many new patients had flooded the halls of Landel's on this particular afternoon ( Read more... )

Naoe had spent the last few shifts in his room, meditating. He hadn't meant to, it was the best chance to meet new people, make allies, and find out more information. After making that post for Takaya he had come to his room to clear his head. The idea of being alone with the boy was... tempting. Too tempting.

He opened his eyes when the intercom came on again, this time announcing dinner. He hadn't realized he had been in the room for so long. At least he head was clear, his body calm.

He waited for his roommate to appear, curious who it was. He knew the man had seen the post but he wasn't embarrassed. It wasn't possible for him to feel embarrassed anymore.

Not for the first time today, Gin wasn't sure what to expect when the nurse escorted him back to his room. He went quietly, smiling all the way, though inside his mind he was grasping at straws, trying to figure out what to do about this mess ( ... )

Naoe looked up when his roommate came in. It was all he could do to not jump at the sight. Something about this man... if he could be called that... really (for lack of a better term) freaked Naoe out. He was able to calm the reaction almost instantly but a little of it showed in his eyes.

"Good evening," he said softly and carefully, glad for the excuse to focus on dinner rather than stare at his roommate. He wasn't really all that hungry, but he started eating anyway, careful to keep his manners.

It was one of the more interesting reactions he'd received today. Mostly people just avoided him if they were frightened, but that wasn't easy given as he was this man's new roommate. It was actually amusing, after all the obnoxious people today, this one would be fun. Gin picked up one of the utensils he'd been given, though he still wasn't used to not using chopsticks, he managed well enough.

He glanced over at the other man. The message he'd left had been strange and so it wasn't difficult to recall most of it. He'd signed it... someone's faithful dog. And the responses to his message, seemed annoyed, short, abrupt. None of his business, but that didn't keep him from wondering. "Ichimaru Gin," he said, permanent smile set across his lips, "you must be Dog-san, unless you'd rather somethin' else. You new too, or ya been here a while?"

Yuffie was feeling pretty good about herself when she was finally escorted back to her room. She'd gotten to tease Tifa and Cid, and she'd made a cute new friend, and then there was Zelos...

But any thoughts of the cute playboy were dropped from her mind when she entered her room to find another girl sleeping in the other bed. She waited for the nurse to leave before creeping over to the girl. Now, Yuffie had seen some weird things in her time, all sixteen years of it, but she'd never actually seen a girl with pink hair...

Curiously, she poked the sleeping head.

It had been the first night in... MOMO couldn't quite remember how long, that she had been able to get a decent night's rest. After all, it was much easier to relax and let yourself rest when you didn't have to worry about the end of the universe.

However, she was brought out of that comforting sleep when she felt someone poking her on the head. "Five more minutes, Mommy.." she murmured groggily, pulling the blanket up over her head.

That's when she realized that something was different... Whoever it was standing beside the bed, it wasn't Juli. In fact, it wasn't anyone she recognized; her sensors told her that much.

She sat up immediately, amber eyes wide as she looked around the room, and then to the other girl. Several questions came to mind then; including 'who are you' and more importantly 'where am I'? But rather than ask either of those, the first words out of MOMO's mouth were, "You're not my Mommy!"

Yuffie had furrowed her brow at the first mention of 'Mommy'. What the heck was this, anyway? It was weird. Some little pink-haired girl thinking she was her mother or something...

She was still considering whether to poke her again or not when the girl suddenly sat up and shouted at her. Yuffie wasn't surprised. Totally not. No way. Even if she had jumped.

"Well, duh," Yuffie answered back, crossing her arms over her chest. "Who the heck are you? And what are you doing in here?" Was this supposed to be her roommate or something?...This little girl?

Just what was going on? She had been onboard the Dammerung the previous night. Now suddenly she was in a strange room, in an unknown place, with some black-haired girl that she didn't know. In that back of her mind, she couldn't help but wonder who had changed her clothes as well, but that was the least of her worries. The point was, none of it made much sense to MOMO.

But either way, the other girl didn't seem to be that threatening...

"...MOMO. My name's MOMO," she replied slowly, willing herself to calm down slightly. "I don't really... know why I'm here, though. I wasn't here yesterday." The realian shook her head, then asked, "What is this place? And just who are you?"

With a bitter stare and an even more bitter scowl, Ichigo lounged across the surface of his bed, one leg neatly folded over the other. His back was propped up against the head of the bed itself, leaving him to stare almost angrily across the length of the room. He didn't buy this 'promote good behavior' crap one little bit, and felt a little bit insulted even that they'd pass off such a lame excuse. No, it was a bit more obvious to him why they'd all apparently been paired up; now, the asylum could pack in even more helpless victims with all the extra space.

Turning his head lightly to the side, he glanced at his new neighbor, and didn't recognize him one little bit. He must be new. I've been here long enough. he thought, squinting his eyes sharply.

Ichigo turned his head back away, jutting out his jawline stubbornly. As long as he doesn't bother me, I don't care. With his arms folded neatly across the lean curve of his chest, it was clear that he would be perfectly resolute with his decision.

He was alive, if one could call this being alive. Demyx winced at the sharp pain in his forehead. The last thing he remembered was being on the receiving end of a Keyblade, after that everything went hazy ( ... )

"Dammit, I got stuck with a nutcase!"

It was a little early to be passing judgment so soon, but a laugh and a strange and unexplained line like that didn't help the man's case. Even worse, Ichigo was quick to gain the odd impression that this goofy little blonde wasn't laughing with him, but at him instead. Ichigo quickly shot out of bed, leaping nimbly up to his feet, where he loomed boldly over Demyx with a clentched fist trembling from tension.

"Listen close, blondie!" he suddenly exclaimed, leaning forward with a menacing scowl pasted across his lips. "I might be stuck in this room with you, but I'm not gonna put up with any of your ridiculous craziness. Got that?" Ichigo's entire lithely muscled body suddenly tensed, revealing not only that the young man was deceptively strong, but that he wouldn't take no for an answer.

Demyx had not stopped laughing by the time Ichigo was in front of him. Damn he was fast! Fast and angry, not a good combination when Demyx was concerned. He was going to have to change tactics or he was in for one hell of a beating. Demyx did have to admit that Ichigo was good at playing along with the charade.

Putting his hands up in mock surrender and trying not to laugh, “No craziness, I promise.”

“So, I caught your intention, but not your name, you would be?” the last syllable drawn out for emphasis. It would just be easier and less painful as well if Demyx just played along with this farce for now.

Another something special. Lovely.

Renji put his dinner tray on his desk, along with the water he'd asked for, and started sorting through it. Not too bad, as meals here went. He scraped as much sauce as he could off the fish (finally, some goddamn fish) and ignored the macaroni and cheese. It looked pretty apalling. He was glad he'd stopped for some blander stuff in the cafeteria, though. It seemed to have finally gotten his guts settled down enough to function for the night.

No roommate yet. Maybe he'd gotten lucky. But he doubted it.

As he picked at his food, he started making a mental list of what to do before changeover. Refresh his supply of pens... pull the top sheet off the bed...

Hisoka didn't quite make it to the cafeteria as he had wanted, but he had been close which only served to annoy the boy further. He had wanted to see what he would be dealing with in come an hour or so for nightshift when it came time to get the knives, but the intercom had clicked on before he could find the nurse-- the one who was always there when you wanted her to get lost-- and after that the boy had to resign himself to being escorted back to him room.

Hisoka scowled in annoyance as they reached the door, his nurse chattering inanly about his roommate and how she hoped they'd be 'fast friends'. The boy was sure they would-- the day he looked fifty.

The shinigami's scowl deepened as the woman prodded him insistently then, after seeing that was going nowhere and fast, opened the door to his room and shooed him inside. With the tray thief from brunch there as well.

Amazing how life worked.

"Mr. Brothers, I'd like to introduce you to your roommate, Alex Grey. Now you two play nice!"

Renji had moved on from organizing his thoughts for the night to writing a little in his journal; something on the bulletin board had sparked a couple of thoughts. He turned in his seat and looked at the nurse. "Sure, whatever," he said.

Maybe they'd warned her about him. She quickly took her relentless good cheer elsewhere.

The kid looked kind of familiar, but from where... Renji stared at him for a moment, eyes narrowing in thought, until he remembered. Right, the chapel. That one odd spirit thread. And the reiatsu felt about right, though definitely not up to the level of a seated officer. Which was maybe why he didn't recognize this one. He'd been kind of busy, lately.

Best to be direct about it, he figured. "Abarai Renji, Vice-Captain of the Sixth Division. I don't recognize you. Name and division?"

This man was a couple fries short of a happy meal, Hisoka decided as he stared back with a carefully blank face. The boy had to wonder what the hell was wrong with this place for sticking him with the other and whether or not this man usually greeted people this way.

"Name's Alex Grey, sir," Hisoka replied briskly with a salute. "Forteenth and a half division-- brunch trays."

With that sarcastic remark, the boy quickly made his way to his bed to pull up the sheets. He was going to need the bandages if he or anyone else got wounded during his nighttime excursions.

The one thing Aidou could make steadfast friends with was food. Even being told he was going to be locked in a box with an unknown, assumedly human roommate wasn't enough to deter him; he left the Sun Room without a glance back, and quickly settled at the ridiculous little desk with his meal. No way was he getting even a speck of food on his bed if these were all the personal effects they were going to allow him.

Bastards. He'd kill them all just for that, every last one of them. In being dropped into this establishment, it was practically self-defense.

Aidou spared a flick of his eyes for the other bed, still unoccupied. Blood. Antiseptics. Just great.

His stomach gave a tentative growl, and it wasn't for solid food.
