Day 23: Intercom, Dinner

Apr 17, 2007 03:26

As the intercom clicked on, one could almost hear a very new, very faint sound emanating from it, and that was the high-pitched whine and scratchy voices on a television. The extra noise was cut short, however, when the Head Doctor seemed to realize he had left his television program on and turned it off so that he could make his announcement ( Read more... )

Now it was time to wait. Xigbar was fine with this part, actually; long years of hunting ever more dangerous game had made him deal with this just like every other part of the hunt, and where others might have suffered a bad case of nerves it only sharpened the sniper's already-inhuman senses. It would almost be a shame if X didn't show; Xigbar could use some good practice.

As it was, however, he quietly ate his dinner and even brushed his teeth, remarkably subdued for him. Whether his room mate showed up or not didn't really matter unless the man was the bleeding heart sort, and Xigbar rather guessed that wasn't the case. Instead, it was only in preparation for the night ahead.

Ironic, that he'd be taking the threat of another Nobody so seriously, when he just laughed off what the Head Doctor was attempting to do.

Hakkai was more than happy just to quickly eat his dinner once he arrived back in the room. The sling made that more difficult, but he could already tell he was getting mobility back in his hand. He healed quickly anyway, but even for him this was fast. He would have to ask around quietly and find out if the advanced speed of healing was normal for this place. Somehow he wouldn't be surprised if it was.

His roommate seemed unusually subdued compared to the night before, though Hakkai would grudgingly admit that during the previous night's dinner shift, he had been... somewhat less than completely coherent.

Ah well, no matter. The doors would unlock soon enough, then he'd be off to meet with Sanzo. With luck, the coming night would be more productive than the last one.

"...so." Xigbar forced a grin on his face as he leaned back on his bed, gazing up at the ceiling. "Just so you know, there might be a crazy person or two stopping by to do me in, so skedaddle as soon as the door opens, 'kay? And you'll probably want to hide anything that's worth keeping, too."

A pause, then he glanced over at the other man. The dogs had sure done a number on him. Yet it seemed like he was doing all right anyway. A sniper always noticed little details like that, and it told Xigbar that if X wanted to do in the Somebody, then there wouldn't be much that guy could do.

"So if you want any of the dirty little secrets I've started to collect, now would be the time to ask." Even though he said all of that, though, his tone and features were nothing but teasing, almost as though he was enjoying himself.

Hakkai studied his roommate. Hard to tell, but he was fairly sure the other wasn't kidding. He smiled slightly in return.

"I see. And do you have any plans to stop this from happening? Or are you planning on just waiting for your fate?" Hakkai's tone made it clear that he felt both were viable options, although the second was a rather silly one. Still, far be it from him to make value judgments about others.

He picked half-heartedly at his dinner. Honestly, was a vegetarian meal so difficult. "Ah, and perhaps we got off on a bad foot last night. I'm Cho Hakkai." He laughed softly. "Although, if you plan on allowing yourself to be 'done in' soon, I'll be getting a new roommate anyway."

Ah... that had been interesting. Alfons Heiderich was still mulling over the conversation he'd just had with his alter, still a little surprised to have found the stronger version of himself here of all places. And yet... he wasn't upset. Not really. He knew how hard a life Alphonse had lived, and because of that Alfons really couldn't hate him.

It did, however, make him a bit more quiet than he normally was. He knew that his room mate would probably want to talk a little, and that would be fine, but... at the same time, Alfons was trying to think of everything that was going on. There was his trip to try to take care of Edward, and then there was all of the stuff with Vergil and Fox, and Miku, and... and he still wanted to prove himself useful to Maes, to be worthy of the man's time and investment. So much to think about and mull over, he hoped he wouldn't be bad company.

...then again, perhaps he would have to be a little more active. He now knew what happened when Hikaru was bored and had an opportunity to tease.

Hikaru shook his head a little to get the excess water out as his nurse lead him back to the dormitories for dinner. He was feeling MUCH better than he had before the shower--it was amazing what hot water, his partner in crimes against Tamaki Kaoru, and a little testosterone-driven boyish teasing could do!

Coming into the room he shared with Alfons, the Host acknowledged his roommate with a grin and a nod before starting in on the food. It really wasn't that bad, and he was starving!

That grin made Alfons smile a little as well, and yet a faint blush also appeared on the German's face. He had an idea about what had put his room mate in such a good mood, and while he was glad that Hikaru was smiling... he still felt a little bad for the boy they had been teasing.

But that didn't mean that he couldn't at least enjoy the company. "I'm glad to see that you're feeling better," he offered, trying to fight back the mental images of three very naked boys and what had happened.

Hikaru noticed that blush. He was pretty good at reading people. "If you're worried about Tamaki," he pointed out, frowning slightly, "Don't be. Kaoru and I tease him like that all the time...he's used to it." (Well, he probably wasn't used to the NAKED bit, but...well...) "He's one of our best friends back home."

The teenager started shoveling food into his mouth. Western food was pretty good when done well, but it was toxic when done badly, as he had found on several international flights with JAL. When they stuck to Japanese food, it was some of the best airline food in the world...but when they tried Western...

Luckily, this was quite tasty. "I found Kaoru," he said around a mouthful of potato, "Got to make fun of Milord a bit, talked to Ritsuka some...it was productive afternoon."

It had been nice to spend a little time with Roxas despite the hustle and bustle of this Institute, reminding the redhead that his friend still was here despite Sora being at close proximity most of the time. He was about to offer a game of Scrabble when the Intercom went off, followed by the hands of his Nurse pulling him off the floor and escorting him back to his room. There were slightly more important matters to attend to, quickly making a bee-line for his bed and situated himself on top of the seats before he was given his food and left alone.

While beef brisket really wasn't his thing food was food, and Axel wasn't the type of person to be complaining too much on the matter. Cutting off a piece of the meat, he smeared it over his mashed potatoes before popping it all in his mouth ( ... )

Ashton was beat. He hadn't been able to eat any lunch, and he'd only had sticky buns and juice for breakfast, which didn't really make a very good base for eating throughout the day. He wasn't sure he'd be able to save any food for tonight.. he was just that hungry.

So he was a little woozy as the nurse escorted him into his room, and released him with a little pat on the shoulder. "I hope you get a good rest, Mr. Pritchett," she cooed as Ashton swayed into the room. He didn't even acknowledge her, but waved a tired hello to Axel as he sat down on his bed and took a enormous and rather unladylike bite of cornbread.

It tasted like heaven.

He chewed it for an unnaturally long time, swallowed, and raised his eyebrows at his roommate. "It's been quite a day. What's with your friends?"

At first, when Ashton entered, the redhead merely tended to his food. By then he was already half done, idly forking his peas one at a time, quietly waiting for the latter to settle down in his bed and start up whatever conversation came to mind.

"They're not my friends." Axel sighed when Ashton finally spoke, licking the tips of his fork before waving it enthusiastically in the air. "Or at least Luxord isn't, I'm only partial with Xigbar at the moment."

Despite their friendly conversation back at lunch, the redhead knew better than to trust the man that easily. Until he made damn sure that his back wasn't going to be knifed Axel would continue to keep his guard up.

"What I want to know is why you're suddenly so popular with them."

Ashton noshed down on the food he was given, eating faster than normal. Cornbread in one hand, forkful of brisket in the other, alternating bites of each and looking rather silly in the process. "Yeah, I'd like to know the same thing. I mean, I didn't think I was so enticing. Especially with the dragons off."

He giggled, stuffed another bite of cornbread in his mouth. "Buh fen agen.." - swallowing, taking a drink of water - "Er, sorry. Um. But then again, guys er't like that before the dragons, so.. it's probably because of you. Xigbar only drew close to me when he'd heard you were my roommate." He shrugged, dropped the cornbread to wipe his mouth and take a big long gulp of water. "Unless it's custom where you're from to kiss the messenger boy."

After what seemed like forever, the intercom finally announced the dinner shift. Immediately the wenches came and escorted him to his room. He seated himself on his chair at the desk before he was given his food.

Unlike certain other patients in this facility, Albel wasn't one to complain about the food here. Even though some it of was foreign to him, he had much worse.

Albel didn't really care whether his roommate would show up or not. At least it would leave him some time in peace. Though, up 'till now, the worm wasn't as annoying as the other scum around here.

After he had finished his dinner, he continued to brush his teeth. There wasn't much else he could do now anyway. At least not until the doors unlocked.

Soujirou showed up, politely gave his roommate a small bow. The day had been uneventful. Had he been the kind of person to anticipate, he would be impatient for the nightshift to start.

Instead he sat down and started eating his food. Conversation did not seem to be his roommate's strong point, and thus did not even bother to start any.

[[ooc; I suppose it's okay to post anyway?]]

Xemnas seated himself at his desk after he had been left alone with his dinner. Though not too fond of beef brisket, the Superior wasn't one to complain about such trivial matters. He ate silently and brushed his teeth right after. Dental care, how...considerate of them.

He didn't knew whether his roommate would show up this evening, but kept his amber eyes on the door nonetheless. The Nobody couldn't help but to be curious at the person he'd be sharing his room with.

After making sure his teeth were clean enough, he reached for the journal on his desk. There weren't many preparations to be made for the coming night. All that was left to do now was waiting for VII to arrive once the doors had been unlocked.

Flipping the journal open, he started writing.
