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.

That question struck Loki as even funnier, and he laughed unnaturally. "Oh, and how," he said, taking care to the form the words so he didn't sound overly drunk. He wasn't certain how well it worked, however, and it didn't even matter at this point. This was definitely not his previous roommate, and any chance he'd had of making a good impression was utterly gone, so he might as well not worry about it. "I think next time they tell me I've a visitor, I'll ask to glue pasta onto a bit of card instead."

He rolled over slowly to try to get a look at the young man. Nothing really stood out about him, though Loki did remind himself that it was the innocuous ones you really had to look out for.

Or for all he knew, the young man was actually a purple elephant and Loki just thought he was a man, because his head did feel incredibly strange. "Oh, I like this not," he said, covering his face with his hands for a moment.
