Day 29: Cafeteria, Brunch

[whiteychan.livejournal.com]

Hitsugaya left the chapel no less frustrated than before. The head doctor once again had chosen not to hide his face, yet promised he would be making an appearance at some time in the near future. He didn't like being patient, but there wasn't much choice. Either the head doctor would show his face, or he wouldn't. Renji had already seen him, and knew how to find him. That was enough.

The thought of eating made him slightly nauseous as usual, but he knew he needed to get his strength up. He could either be weak and try to force his way through brunch without eating anything, or he could be smart and actually give himself something to eat. And there was rice. Rice and fruit. He took a heaping pile of rice, and grabbed as much watermelon as he could fit on his plate, then proceeded to an empty table. He scanned the room, watching for Momo. He wasn't exactly looking forward to their conversation, knowing how she'd acted yesterday; however, he knew he had to speak to her, and there was a good chance that she would show more restraint now that the drugs were out of her system.

Thoughtfully he consumed his rice and waited.

Beatrix wasn't entirely sure what to think of that. She was well aware of what a person can do with their chi depending on skill level and she had seen Pai Mei do some extraordinary things. She'd have to think on it more.

"Interesting," she replied, nothing in her demeanor changing. "You must have excellent control."

Arlene was apparently impossible to surprise. She must have excellent control as well, either that or she was familiar with such things. It was hard to tell from the way she reacted.

"Yes, but this place reduces a persons ability. It's like they want us to be on a more level playing field. Either that, or they're afraid that we would over-run the facility if everyone had free reign. I would not still be here if I wasn't reduced to the level of ability I had when I first started," Come to think of it, this facility probably wouldn't last thirty seconds if everyone suddenly got access to their abilities.

That explained why she thought things had been easier at the House of Blue Leaves. Not that she was worried too much about her skill being reduced; it would be a rare instance in which she used the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique as it was.

"Like lab rats in the care of an inhumane mad scientist," Beatrix mused. She figured the dampening of people's skills was through a drug treatment they were subjected to upon capture and continued while unconscious.

"I wonder what else they experiment on besides the wild life."

That was an easy enough question to answer. "The patients."

It was the only thing that really made sense. Why bring so many skilled people here if not to experiment on them?

"Really now?" How pathetic.

"Yet another attempt, be it private or government, to create something akin to a super soldier or a depraved scientist's wet dream to compensate for his impotency," Beatrix said with a chuckle.

And here she'd thought Elle wouldn't have found a new boyfriend so quickly. But if he found a way to replace her eyes, she would o anything to aide him. Cunning slithery fucking snake.
