Day 27: Lunch

Renji wasn't so certain what this grilled cheese thing was all about, but he liked the sound of some soup. Even if it was strange western soup, well... there wasn't anything bad people could do to soup, in his experience. His good mood was starting to fray at the edges, a little, from the strain of dealing with the Ichimaru issue, and even more from what had been on the bulletin board earlier.

He'd never had difficulty simply writing something before. But...

He shook his head as he entered the line. He didn't want to think about it. He wanted to hold on to the tenuous equilibrium he'd managed to find.

Renji got himself a large bowl of soup, water, and even one of those sandwiches, just to try it. Old habit, recently awakened, had him over to one side of the cafeteria, where the fewest people possible would have the chance to pass behind him. He sat there with his back toward the wall and started eating.

"Statement: I was more hoping to see you sedated again. Unfortunately, I would estimate I lose the capacity for violence at approximately the same time as the ability to be sarcastic. And violence is more important than sarcasm." Nothing was more important than violence!

"Irritation: And at the moment, I am not at full capacity for destruction. I'd rather focus on returning to 100% functionality as soon as possible." He was more fond of the idea of driving this meatbag insane, rather than just killing him immediately.

While HK wouldn't admit it, that was about as close as he got to considering someone a friend.

"Good. The sooner you're back to 'full capacity' the better. I don't want you slowing me down again tonight," SubZero hadn't really been actually slowed down by HK. The night's productiveness had come to a halt with all the injuries last night caused by the girl.

Still, that didn't mean he couldn't blame it on HK.

"Incredulous: Slowing you down? Meatbag, you can barely make it a few strides before you cause a minor catastrophe by accident. Or trying to do something lecherous to me. Sarcasm: Is that what you mean, meatbag? I'm afraid that's not my fault." HK was extremely irritated that the very same meatbag who had broken up the enjoyable attention to his sore muscles had just given another meatbag the exact same treatment. And he hadn't even gone over and 'not-sulked' at SubZero!

Although, he was doing a very good 'not-sulk' right now.

"I haven't caused any 'minor catastrophe's by accident. And I haven't done anything lecherous to you! Unless by 'lecherous' you mean 'administer first aid' or 'carry to safety'," SubZero had been raising his voice slightly and forced himself to calm down, scowling at SubZero.

"You're just upset because that creep that was trying to molest you yesterday hasn't come back around for another try."

"Rhetorical: Do you know what that 'creep' called you?" HK snickered slightly before adopting Jack Harkness' voice "Quote: 'Mr. Cop-a-feel'." It was difficult to totally imitate another's voice at the moment, but he could still do it quite convincingly. He switched back to his normal tone. "Irritation: And if that was an attempt at molestation, then what were you doing last shift, meatbag?"

"Lust was sore, I was helping her out. I didn't have any ulterior motives." Well, he didn't have many ulterior motives. Certainly, he didn't have as many as that creep had had.

And he didn't appreciate being called Mr. Cop-a-feel. He hadn't done that at all!

"Sarcasm: Of course not, meatbag. Irritation: That's quite a feeble lie, meatbag. It's quite easy to discern things about thought process from body language, you know." Which was why his body language usually was stuck on the 'cardboard' setting. Meatbags could be so confused by it.

"Alright, so I enjoyed giving her the massage. But it wasn't like I was planning on doing anything with her at night. I don't mix business and pleasure," And night time was strictly business time as far as SubZero was concerned, even though for HK business and pleasure were probably the same activity.

"Agreement: No, it seems that business never gets a chance to have a say, really..." HK was tired of speaking. It hurt and he just wanted to kill something.
