Day 25: Intercom, Evening

The intercom clicked on with its usual jingle, the Head Doctor's voice carrying with a bit more authoritative ease than it had earlier.

"Good evening, patients, and I'm pleased to announce that we've finally finished organizing when our new batch of patients will be introduced, and unfortunately, it'll have to be tonight while you're all in bed. Truly sad, that, as I'm sure all of you are eager to see our new faces as soon as possible!

"In any case, the dinner that will be brought to you tonight will be herb-marinated pork roast with buttery corn-on-the-cob and fluffy mashed potatoes. Of course, we have our usual vegetarian salad available to those who request it, along with our regular assortment of drinks."

He paused and sighed. After all, it had been a long day.

"Oh, of course--Some of you may be unhappy to hear that Dr. Crane and Dr. Jiyani will no longer be serving us here at Landel's Institute. For those of you who were scheduled to have sessions with them, we'll be providing a substitute group therapy session in upcoming days. More details on that tomorrow.

"I believe that's all for now. Enjoy your dinner!"

The intercom clicked off.

"Sorry?" Axel laughed. "Nah, if there's someone I wanted here to keep my sanity it's him, so don't worry about it." He waved it off as he reached for his glass to wash down all the food he inhaled. Maybe it was a good idea to inspect the new block just incase any more members decided to pop up without warning. Though considering his luck so far maybe it was best to stay away from them for now.

"And don't worry about it, I volunteered myself last night. And the girl was a lot more entertaining than I thought." Too bad he couldn't play with her hair, but maybe he'll get to see her again sometime later on tonight.

"Is she coming with you guys tonight?"

"She's cute, but she'd only slow us down." He took a triumphant last bite of potatoes, and having cleaned his plate, he hopped off the bed and began his evening stretches. "I kind of feel bad leaving her on her own, but.. ah.. like you said the first day.. traveling with more than three can be a pain. Two's faster, and if we end up picking up someone else accidentally..." He shrugged and straightened out, touching his toes then slipping his hands under them to hold on to his feet. Ashton was more flexible than he looked, apparently - but it was partially because of all the stretching he did. "You know."

That was when the intercom spoke up. "Well, sounds like the first batch's here. I better go check it out. Be careful, okay?" And there was the familiar click of the door. Ashton grabbed his shiny new twin swords and spun them in his hands, then traipsed off into the hallway. He didn't take his coat.. or his flashlight. He didn't even know where his flashlight was.
