Day 65: Intercom, Evening
As some of the clouds from earlier began to clear, the intercom jingle sounded over the intercom once again.
"Hello, patients!" came the Head Doctor's cheery voice. "I hope you're all feeling fresh and clean this evening! To top it all off, we've prepared a scrumptious herb chicken dinner for you to eat before bed. Of course, we have vegetarian options available, so please don't hesitate to ask the nurse if you're interested in that.
Also, since we have the pleasure of welcoming a few new patients into our family, some of you will be receiving new roommates. Let's do our best to give them a nice, big Landel's Institute welcome, shall we?"
The Head Doctor gave a friendly chuckle. "Well, anyway, enjoy your dinner!"
With that, the intercom shut off.

M27
Even though he'd heard and dealt with this sort of thing every day for the past twelve days, Byrne still managed to feel sickened by that intercom broadcast. Well, more sickened than he already felt, anyway; those cramps were not going away, nor were the occasional aches and pains in his limbs. Sigh.
Perhaps he'd never get used to this. The cheery broadcasts, the taunting, the torture. If it meant he'd be keeping his humanity as result, though, fine by him. Why should he have to accept this hell? It wasn't right. He just hoped he was not one of the few who would be having a new roommate this evening; losing more people he knew here was definitely one of those things he didn't want to have to get used to.
...It felt a little strange to think of it like that when death was a real part of his job as a prosecutor to begin with, but in this environment? It had little meaning, only experience to help him cope a bit better than others. It wasn't like here he could easily find the guy responsible and lock him away for his crimes. Not to mention...
Ah. Thinking too much about this might just drive him crazy. It was dinnertime now, wasn't it? He should eat and consider his game plan for tonight, then. Worrying wouldn't help him any.
Once again, Byrne found himself without much of an appetite thanks to his illness, but he was going to force himself to eat anyway. Better to have food in his system than not. He sat down at his desk and started on his dinner, but after a minute he stopped, took out his journal and got to work on a new entry, now that he reminded himself to do it. Had it really been three days since the last time he updated this thing? Too much had happened in that short time span. He really needed to remember to keep up with this...
Re: M27
And if there was some new lead to follow, well... He'd be sure to chase it tonight.
He was brought from his thoughts by the arrival at his room. Byrne had already arrived, he saw when the nurse let him in, and looked to be in the midst of writing. "Alright?" the Doctor greeted briefly. He paused for a moment at the door, and then headed straight for his closet.
Re: M27
To be honest, he could stand to be more alright, but hey, look on the bright side: at least he still had all four limbs. At least he was still alive. And at least he didn't have to deal with losing a third roommate! He could rest a little easier as far as the latter was concerned.
"How about you? You okay?" His roommate was heading for his closet now to do whatever, so Byrne would return to his own personal task of finishing this journal entry. Who says he couldn't talk and write at the same time?
sorry this is so late...
He straightened, turning towards his desk now and laying his clothes off to one side of the tray that held dinner. He wanted to get a quick start tonight, but he could still change later, after he'd eaten. And after a bit of conversation.
"Say, you didn't happen to have a look in the x-ray room last night, did you?" he asked as he took a seat at the desk, looking toward Byrne now. Even if his roommate hadn't gone himself, maybe he'd heard something more than the Doctor had learned today.
no worries o/
Ah, well. Frustrating or not, the prosecutor didn't mind talking about it again. He set his pen down so he could make eye contact with his roommate while talking. "No, I didn't," he replied, "but I've been paying attention to what people have been saying about it on the board. How much have you heard?" If anything? Byrne didn't want to go off on a ramble if he'd just be repeating things the Doctor already knew.
... The Doctor... He still wondered...
