Day 56: Intercom, Late Evening

Despite the rough start and the heavier snowfall, the buses managed to stay on route and on schedule. With minutes to spare, they arrived at the gates of Landel's Institute, back to the waiting arms of the military. All pretenses seemed to drop at this point, and the soldiers again took on their patented gruff exteriors. Patients were filed out of the buses in an orderly manner, eventually being escorted to their rooms for dinner in much the same. There, as promised by the personnel, well-behaved patients found their purchases among their returned possessions. A few even found new faces, though whether they brought as much joy as bought goods remained unseen.

The woman manning the intercom seemed to have missed the notice about the day's trip as her announcement remained no different from the usual. "Attention all subjects and personnel," she said. "Lights Out will commence within the hour."

A pause.

"I repeat, Lights Out will commence within the hour. All personnel: please report to your stations. The General will begin his address once preparations are underway. Thank you."

The intercom clicked off.

"Yohohohoho! I wouldn't be much of a pirate if I wasn't!" Brook announced, turning his head away from his food momentarily to look up. With a spoon of curry hanging from his mouth, he kept on speaking, "How about you? You don't have to be a pirate to enjoy a good drink now and then, right?"

As Brook waited for a response, he noticed that the mush his roommate had was a little different than his own - pink and sloppier. He wasn't sure why, but he guessed they might change things up for different reasons. Some people didn't eat meat, he knew, or didn't like spicy things. And since Michelangelo was eating it, he must not have had a problem with whatever it was.

"Drinking makes you sluggish, and there's almost none of it back home," Mike stated, and then he looked at Brook for a long moment. "... I didn't know pirates had afros."

Or ones that impressive. This guy claimed he was a pirate, but Mike knew pirates. He loved a good pirate movie, and they were never this... friendly. What would Donny call this guy? An 'outlier'? Yeah, an outlier. He was weird enough to be one.

Not a bad sort of weird. Just... weird.
