Day 62: Sun Room (Second Shift)

The line of questioning that Rita had begun at breakfast still plagued Loki, as did his own uncomfortable feelings about the entire concept of people being transformed into monsters. It wasn't a useful line of thought, and he needed a better direction to consider.

Hopefully, conversation with Soma would provide that. While she seemed quite stern at times, Loki found her presence oddly relaxing.

Though he had to wonder if perhaps he wouldn't end up seeing her this shift after all, since she might be included in the group that was being herded to the showers. (As much as the statement also was one he greeted with relief, since he was wondering when he'd get an opportunity to bathe. The thought of being trapped in a building with a great many mortals and no bathing facilities had been too horrifying to contemplate.) He'd always been a bit bad at guessing the ages of mortals, mostly because they were so ridiculously short-lived.

Having already established a neurotic fear of the cold with his nurse, there was no difficulty convincing her that he'd be much better off in the Sun Room. Loki settled into his habitual seat, taking a moment to coax one of the cats into his lap. All settled in, he propped his notebook on the arm of the chair and went back to writing.

“Fireworks? In a dome?” Anise's eyes were wide as she marveled at the mental image. The more Snow described it, the more excited she got. A dome larger than the institute, tall enough to set off fireworks in... it had to be enormous! “I've never heard of anything like that... That sounds really cool!”

And the legend that came with it was just... well, it was totally romantic! “Ooh, I want to make my wishes come true, too!” She sank into the couch a little, grinning. If only it could be that easy...

The intercom sounded then, causing Anise to sit back up straight. “Aww, no fair!” she whined. Here she was having a nice, normal conversation, and the Head Doctor just had to butt in. She looked back to Snow, pouting a little. “I guess I'll have to see you later.”
