Day 64: Intercom, Evening

[damned_intercom]

When the cheery jingle sounded over the speakers, the Head Doctor could be heard humming a song that suspiciously sounded like pieces of "Superstar" from today's movie. Then, as if realizing people were listening, he abruptly cleared his throat.

"Good evening, patients!" he greeted after a quick recovery. "I do hope everyone had a pleasant day. And what better way to end things than with a scrumptious steak dinner? We'll be including fries on the side, as well as offering our usual assortment of water, milk, and juices. Of course, we also carry vegetarian options for those of you who don't eat meat. Enjoy!"

The intercom turned off, leaving the nurses to escort patients to their rooms.

A chair? Really? Well, Harvey had seen plenty of patients running around with things that were even more ridiculous than that, so he wasn't about to question it. Murphy was a pretty built guy, so he probably had a lot of bulk to throw around. Maybe a chair would work just fine for him, at least against some of the more common monsters.

So long as he didn't have to share his gun or ammunition, Harvey didn't care too much either way.

"It's fine," Harvey said, waving Murphy off when he thanked him once again. While it made it clear that his new roommate was a good guy who actually used his brain every once in a while, there was a point where it didn't need to be said anymore. He wasn't completely heartless, and giving someone else advice wasn't any skin off his back anyway.

"Anyway, if you want a way out, there's all kinds of directions you can go. The newest place that's opened up is the medical wing..."

Though halfway between his sentence, the intercom came on with Landel's normal, "pleasant" voice talking about the movie they'd shown and the incident yesterday with the buses. That meant night was about to come, and at that point Murphy would be on his own.
