Day 28: Bus 1

Zelgadis was not happy, at all. Not that this was any change, but the events of the past few hours had given him more to angst about than usual. Nightshift had been dreadful: first he was attacked by a small green man and then covered in leeches, neither of which lead to warm fuzzy feelings.

And now this.

When the nurse had come into his room with new clothes he had a small glimmer of hope-- some thief had taken his normal Landel's wear in the night, so perhaps this was a change in luck. However, it was not the godsend he had hoped for. Minus the threat of sedation, there was nothing in the universe that could make Zelgadis wear a bright lemon-yellow shirt. There was a jacket of a slightly more tasteful variety, so Zelgadis made good us of it-- he put all his coupons in a pocket and pulled up the hood. It was almost as good as his cloak. Well, no it wasn't, but it would have to do.

With mild protesting, Zelgadis was lead to a large yellow vehicle. He climbed the stairs, took a seat towards the back, and readied himself for another frustrating day of being attacked and threatened with spoons.

Ginji shrugged. "Maybe that just proves it though, because if we want to escape we can't just hope that fate let's us out, we have to do it ourselves." Despite the how bleak Ginji had felt about the situation for the past couple of days, he found hope stirring in his chest again.

"Very well said." Roland nodded, finding himself in total agreement with what the other man had said. Fate, 'God,' whatever one wanted to call it... it wasn't enough to just cross one's fingers and hope for the best. They'd have to struggle and find their own way out; that was always what humanity had been forced to do throughout the ages, after all.

And even though neither of them were fully 'human,' they were close enough to count. So, with that same grin on his face, he said, "So try to keep your eyes open, huh? Who knows? Maybe this town will have something we can use."

Ginji nodded and got a determined look on his face before it fell into a frown. "I'm bad at seeing stuff though. That's why I need Ban-chan around." Thinking about his partner made Ginji feel the well of depression start to creep up on him again. He missed Ban so much it hurt him. He tried to ignore the pain but it was pretty clear on his face.

"'Ban-chan'?" Roland had never heard of anyone going by that name; not that he'd encountered many people as it was. Still, he'd have to keep his eyes open. If this 'Ban-chan' had the kind of powers that Ginji possessed, then that would be another useful ally. Besides, Ginji looked so down when he thought of the guy. ...if 'Ban' was a guy, anyway.

It was at about this point that the bus started, and Roland had to wonder what the town would be like. More importantly, his mind started wondering about whether he'd have to keep his own eyes open... on his 'comrades.' Having more like himself wandering around, and with some others who preyed on 'normal' people? Even with the stricter security, or perhaps because of it, the pale man worried about what might happen.

"My partner," Ginji offered quietly, but then the bus started. The jerk of the motion made him bounce slightly in his chair. He automatically looked much happier and excited. "I can't wait to see town," he said. "Can you?"

Roland was intrigued as to how Ginji shifted from mood to mood so very quickly. Already it was known that he had multiple personalities (or at least one other personality,) but were there more problems beneath the surface? And if so, how deep did they run and how did they come to be? Normal people didn't act that way- and for something that radically different, 'something' had to be pretty major.

But for now, he quietly chuckled. Ginji was so light-hearted that it was easy for Roland to forget what had transpired between them when they'd first met, and just go with the moment. "I'd have to say that I can and will have to. Won't you?"

Ginji shrugged. "It will be nice to be outside. I hate being locked up."
