Day 65: Intercom, Evening

[damned_intercom]

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.

"Not very long I guess. Couple of days... Are you new?" It was hard to pick out those who were used to the routine and those who weren't. Well, some of them had that worried look on their faces, but not everyone.

"Are you a fighter?" he asked, wondering if the man would need protection during the nights. He may not know the man well, but everyone should have a right to protection against the unlawful things that lurked in the shadows.

Ha. Was he new? Aha, aha. Oh it was to laugh.

"No to the first, yes to the second," he answered, hitting both of Luke's questions at once. "It's been about three weeks for me. I don't know if that's because I'm a fighter or because I know when to hide in my room like a wuss, though. Little of both, maybe."

Scott started cutting into his chicken. "And what about you? You fight too?" Judging by Luke's fiery red hair and the fact that he had asked about fighting up front, Scott had an inkling of what the answer might be.

"Oh, wow... Three weeks? Man, I've been here a few days and I'm ready to start takin' names..." And obviously kicking butt, though everyone seemed to frown on such behavior in the daytime. He didn't really understand why. With a coordinated attack from the entire patient body, the redhead thought they would be able to take over these timid nurses. But no, everyone had to be on their best behavior... What a pain!

Well, at least his roommate was a combatant. Frankly, he wasn't sure if he could properly protect another person when his mind was so distracted on other things, like this illness. Luke wondered if Scott had friend he had to save too and the replica was certainly tactless enough to ask.

"So, are you helping find a cure for this infection or what?" Maybe they could team up! Sure he would help Anise and go along with their crazy plan, but if they had more people than just the four of them spreading out all over the institute, a cure should be found no problem!
