The Head Doctor nearly spoke over the intercom's jingle, he was talking so fast.

"Sorry, sorry, always paperwork to do, staff to rearrange, new patients to help become accustomed to this environment... in any case, we'll now be having the adults in the Arts & Crafts room and the children in their respective showers. You might also find some new friends in the Sun Room, so make sure to give all of our new members a warm welcome!

"Hmm... my announcements seem to be getting briefer and briefer, don't they?" He laughed. "I suppose I shall just have to promise you all that I'm working hard to keep things running smoothly for all of you. Have fun, get clean, and make sure to listen to your escorts!"

The intercom, as always, clicked off.

[ All introduction posts for this shift's group of new characters should be made in response to this post. (Please have your new character wake up in a random empty room, as we aren't yet able to officially assign rooms.) Since we know it'd be weird for new characters to get showers on their first day: it is MANDATORY for brand new patients to hang in the Sun Room with whoever else wants to go there or to go to the Arts & Crafts room with the other age group. (The nurses will say that they were already cleaned up upon their arrival.) Thanks! ]

Kurogane was very much not the creative type, so naturally the nurse didn't care for his protests of having an "Arts and Crafts" time and forced him into the room.

"Maybe making something will get you out of that foul mood, Mr. Cross," she encouraged with a smile.

"Kurogane!" he corrected angrily, but the woman had already left, "Che."

Looking around the room made Kurogane even less interested in doing anything but sitting and waiting for the next change. So he picked out a spot in the corner and did just that.

There were still too many things on Armand's mind for him to truly relax. The morning with Alec had been a help. And seeing that TK was going to be well helped him know that it was time to work out something else, but what? He'd already, without success again, tried to reach one of the club leaders about his sole idea of something new and different. Maybe it was hopeless.

There was no way he was going to play with paper and glue like a small child, and he glared at the nurse as best he could until she gave up on the idea. There was a free chair in the Sun Room--in fact, there were many free chairs--where he settled down to see what the new patients looked like. Prisoners, not patients. He felt bad that he had to remind himself. Even if he was crazy, he wasn't going to give in to Dr. Landel's game, not today. He nibbled on an overgrown cuticle and kept an eye on the room. No dozing today.

There had been an awkward air left between him and Tyki after their conversation. Yuuri knew he wasn't the best at explaining much of anything, and for the tenth time he wondered why Murata wasn't here to answer the difficult questions for him. Everyone had been herded out of the cafeteria after that, and Yuuri had simply followed along in confusion as he headed towards the showers.

Yuuri still hadn't seen Wolfram yet and the young Maou was wondering if the blonde Mazoku was alright. Stretching his head up higher, Yuuri attempted to look over the heads of the other patients around him in an attempt to catch sight of Wolfram. Unfortunately, though, he was unsuccessful.

"Where are you, Wolfram?" He muttered to himself while stepping under the shower's spray. Maybe a shower would help clear his mind.

[Waiting for Wolfram]

Falis had a lot to think about as she stripped, shedding the bandages covering the stitches on her left shoulder and right thigh, and headed to the shower the furthest she could find away from the vultures that liked to watch them all while they were naked. The board had been amusing until she realized that another had been bitten by a vampire. This Lost and Found guy was being really fucking stubborn, but Falis was a bounty hunter and she knew how to track and figure out who people were. She was going to find him tomorrow.

Stepping under the spray, maybe a little hotter than she normally had it as there was something nice about the extra steam this time, she thought about this SEES group that Amada and Yukari were in. Well, they'd all soon make the connection that Amada had hired Falis to look into things with Yukari, but it wasn't going to come from her. Had Amada not brought up the virgin bit, maybe she'd have been able to avoid it, but she really didn't care. She'd told Amada she wouldn't tell Yukari that she'd been hired by him. She'd told Yukari the details of their conversation concerning her potential vampirism wouldn't be told to another. She'd kept her word in both cases and if either Amada or Yukari were to get in her face, accusing her of revealing that information, they were going to be dealing with a very pissed off, insulted bounty hunter.

Eh. Too much to think about. Grabbing some of the cleaning liquid, Falis started working the grime off her body. Hopefully, Hokuto would be by soon; Falis could already tell that, once again, she had a couple clumps of dried blood in her hair. Besides... she liked it when her girlfriend washed her hair. Not that she'd ever really say so.
