Day 75: Intercom, Dinner
With how the number of patients had dwindled lately, the day passed on without much note, save for one sedation that had happened early on. Which meant that soon enough, the intercom came on yet again, this time to announce the day's end.
"Hello, dear patients. I know a lot of your friends have been sent home lately, and maybe some of you are missing them." Was this a referral to that one patient's outburst that morning? Who knew.
"But instead of worrying about them, you should think of yourselves! There aren't many of you enrolled here right now, which means each one of you gets more of our attention. Before long, all of you will be headed back to your friends and family too. Maybe you can even meet up with some of your fellow patients after you're released -- wouldn't that be nice?"
Of course, Landel wasn't referring to the sort of homecoming that the patients wanted. Nice as it sounded in the daytime, the truth was something far more sinister.
"For now, enjoy some dinner with your roommates! Tonight we're serving spaghetti and garlic bread -- a popular choice, I would think. Have a nice meal."
And with that, the intercom shut off and the nurses gathered up the patients to take them to their rooms.
[ Make sure to check the rooming list, as it was updated prior to this post being made! ]

That was in short supply these days, it seemed like, as short as the prisoners necessary to band together to fight this battle of wills against those in support of the Institute. Aidou was a vampire, however, and not just any common one. He knew, he knew, he'd either win or die trying, so ultimately he fell on the side of those unwilling to give up.
... For whatever that was worth in this particular situation.
The noble turned away and moved to the other side of the room so that he didn't have to think too hard about the awkward rooming arrangement he was in. Ugh, he there was a reason the Academy didn't have gym class. "They didn't tell you anything else in the city?" he questioned as a means of filling the silence and answering Guy's remark at the same time.
no subject
He didn't remark on it, though, but instead focused on getting changed quickly so that awkward moment would be over sooner. Awkward for Aidou, that is -- Guy didn't particularly care.
"Hmm..." It had been a whirlwind, their entire time in Farwell, so it was hard to sift through everything they'd learned then. One thing did stand out, though.
"Well, they told us that if we stopped Landel -- actually stopped him, I mean -- then it should undo all of the brainwashing that the others have been put through." Those who had been released from this place, was what he meant. Aidou had to have some friends out there, right...?
no subject
There was no hiding the fact that Aidou was enthusiastic about the idea. Killing Landel would bring him plenty of personal satisfaction outside of solving these problems.
However, when it came to the people who may or may not still be alive outside of the Institute's walls... The vampire needed to prioritize himself and who was still here, and not the others. His mind didn't travel in quite the same direction Guy was thinking.

Plenty of people were eager to make that final blow. While Guy himself wouldn't relish in the act, he also realized that it had to be done in order to save countless innocents, and he wouldn't hesitate. Just as he hadn't with Van.
Now fully dressed, Guy went to sit on the bed. He'd be calling Claude over the radio, so beyond what he'd already done, he didn't have any preparations for lights out.
