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.

A...troll? Scar did not have the slightest idea what that was, but it would seem the insolent brat did not want to elaborate. Well, it was not like he cared that much. "I see," he responded simply.

Toying and sarcasm aside, the amount of sentient species was a subject the former lion had also given some thought, but he realized there would never be an answer to that question. "Who knows," he remarked, "Whenever you think you've heard it all a new one pops up."

That no one seemed to recognize what a troll was bothered Karkat on many levels. Most importantly, it meant that the chances of one of his friends being here (or even having been here in the past) were greatly lowered. Though if they'd arrived at the same time he had, it was possible that word simply hadn't gone around.

But he knew they would have responded to his bulletin, or he would have seen them in the halls. They could probably recognize him even like this.

"You haven't talked to any others? That's about what I thought."
