Day 69: Intercom, Evening

[damned_intercom]

Patients might hear the wind blowing outside as the intercom turned on and they were gradually moved from the courtyard or somewhere surrounding the Sun Room and back to their rooms. The wind made a howling noise, something that almost seemed to hint at what was to come when darkness hit and night began.

But for now, everything was as pleasant as it always was during the day, with the Head Doctor chiming in to explain what was on the menu this evening.

"I'm sure you all had a nice, relaxing day as you continue on your journey toward good health, but now it's time to head back to your rooms and have dinner with your roommate before lights out. Tonight we're serving some seasoned salmon with rice pilaf on the side, and for those of you who are vegetarians we have a black eyed pea soup along with a dinner roll.

"Whatever you're having tonight, eat up and get some rest! We'll be seeing you again tomorrow!"

The nurses didn't say much about the fact that some patients had roommates who had been missing for a few days now. Normally there would be someone to take their place, but that didn't seem to be the case for a few people. The mystery behind that was clearly one that was going to remain unanswered, but at least the patients had a hot plate of food waiting for them on their desks.

"The Institute can control the mind and behaviour of patients, the same way it does the creatures here," Sasuke said, blinking, then thought back to their hurried conversation of the night prior and realized that no, they hadn't had enough time for the usual introduction of the Institute. Though --

"I thought you said there were others from your world here. Did they not inform you?"

"Lust told me everything she could think of which was a lot, but she and I both knew that she wasn't remembering everything. We also got interrupted while she was filling me in." Ed ran a hand through his hair.

"Wasn't remembering everything?" The implication of the phrasing, combined with the distant familiarity of the name, made Sasuke frown, suspecting and disbelieving all at once. "How long does she remember having been here?"

"It didn't really come up beyond that it's definitely been awhile, so I'm not really sure." Ed rubbed at the back of his neck. "There was other stuff being talked about besides that and we were basically trying to pack in a lot of stuff in a short period of time."
