Day 66: Game Room (Fourth Shift)

[knightspirit]

The game room, huh... In normal, everyday life, it wouldn't have sounded too terrible, but as things were, it seemed like more of an annoyance. Games were fine, but priorities.... On the other hand, Kyousuke seemed to have hit a block in figuring out the clues to the the illness, and just thinking without getting anywhere wasn't very productive, either. At this point, it may have been best to push it aside and come back to it fresh. He had his reservations about it, especially since the end of the day was rapidly approaching, but... Frustration wasn't going to get him any closer.

He poked around what games were there with resignation, still half wondering what he was even doing and trying not feel guilty for needing a break. After a while he came across an electronic device marked "Game Boy Color" and picked it up out of curiosity. He'd heard of those before... If he was right, this thing was older than he was, by quite a bit. Flicking it on confirmed his suspicions; the sound and graphics from it spoke for themselves.

Shrugging, he took it a random seat, wincing at the pain in his ribs as he sat down. He guessed it wouldn't kill him to mess around with this thing for a little while.

"Hm." Kratos frowned. It was possible, too, that the rebels were behind this strange development; actually, he had forgotten to consider them. If that was so, though, it was unfortunate that they could not have bothered to extend their generosity to the rest of the patient population as well. "That may well be the case. With things as they are now, it wouldn't take much at all for Landel to provoke some kind of extreme reaction toward any of us. Whatever the case, though, all we can do is guess at the motive, and I would prefer to have more information before attempting that in earnest.

"I'm curious as to why you felt I needed to be warned of this," he added mildly. There were many potential reasons that came to mind, but he disliked, as he had made clear only seconds before, speculation. To be honest, Kratos did not really bother to keep tabs on who was capable of what unless their abilities were curative, and if Lingormr had ever demonstrated his illusions, would have simply assumed that he was always capable of that, albeit to a limited degree.

Loki shrugged. "I found it a strange occurrence and thought it best to share that information with a few people in case there was use for it." He smiled tightly. "Particularly as I have received censorious remarks for not having been forthcoming about my abilities as a magician when I could not even utilize any of them. If you feel I have wasted your time in this regard, I do apologize."
