Day 60: Intercom, Evening

[damned-intercom.livejournal.com]

The intercom jingled at its standard time, with the Head Doctor still in his over-the-top, jovial mood. It seemed not even the evening light could keep down the love he held for his job.

"Good evening, everyone! I hope your soul is filled with music from last shift; I know mine is."

There again was a stretch of silence. When the Head Doctor continued, he sounded marginally disappointed.

"But now it's time to wind down the day with a bit of dinner. Tonight, we'll be serving turkey breasts and quality gravy, with sides of garlic mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, grilled asparagus, and a small salad. For dessert, we will be having pumpkin pie with optional whipped creme. As per usual, we will have our vegetarian alternatives and a wide selection of drinks available. Turkey lovers, be sure to take advantage of the food; it'll be an entire week before you can have this delectable meat again."

He chuckled at the statement. One might have labeled it as dark.

"Anyway, enjoy! I will wish you all a good night momentarily!"

The intercom clicked off.

Sakura returned to her room in good spirits. While Sai wasn't in the best shape at the moment, it was infinitely better than being dead. It wasn't necessarily the how that bothered her; Chiyo had been able to raise Gaara with forbidden jutsu and her studies with Tsunade were enough to tell her that wasn't the first or only case of it happening. It didn't, however, mean that she was any less pissed off about the incident itself.

She took a seat on her bed, tray in her lap. The food here was almost ridiculously rich at times. While she was no supporter of the pink gruel of the last several days, this almost seemed too decadent afterward. She picked at it with her fork, eating the meat and vegetables first.
