Day 30: Cafeteria, Breakfast

Hitsugaya woke with a start.

His entire body ached, but the pain was nowhere near as bad as it had been the night before. His injuries had been tended two with clean gauze and bandages, and he found every movement wasn't agony. He wasn't in the best of shape, but thanks to the miracle of landel's strange time distortion, he had mostly recovered from the vile poison without having to waste anyone else's talents.

And in his hand, still...there was the key.

He dressed quickly, sliding the key onto the key ring from his desk drawer and stuck it into his pocket. Whether the key stood to gain them anything or not, it stood as a vital reminder that they could succeed in this place. There was hope, as insignificant as it often seemed. They could beat this place.

That small shred of hope made getting up worth it.

The nurse who escorted him to breakfast was cheerful, and commented idly about how wonderful it was to see young Tommy Winters up and about again after his unfortunate run-in with a bad case of food poisoning. He smirked slightly, knowing that any lies the institute forced into their heads were only that: lies. He wouldn't buy it for a second. And on top of that, the concept of muffins sounded almost appetizing. While he still preferred his authentic Japanese cuisine, the food here was slowly becoming more and more bearable. He would have preferred a warm bowl of sweet nattou over rice over the mufffins, but they would do. The plain yogurt and fruit, on the other hand, was excellent. He piled his plate high with fruit as usual, and got several small bowls of yogurt as well.

Finding the most convenient table to the end of the food line, he took a seat and scanned for the new arrivals. New arrivals meant people who would be lost and confused. Renji did a good job of making a bulliten post last time...he should recommend abarai-fukutaicho do the same again this time.

Slow and painful was the best for a variety of reasons. Rhode's favorite reason was the bases for her next question. "Did he scream~?" she grinned, pressing down on the second muffin she'd yet to nibble as if to squash it, "Or beg?"

"I don't have any of my stuff either..." Stuff meaning her powers which gave her any play tool imaginable. Whatever this guy used, she could likely duplicate or top just with a thought.

"Well, like I said, he was a mute. But he made some great faces when I started skinning him." And most of the rest of the time, too. Caim hadn't been much of a conversationalist, but he'd been really easy to rile up. It was quite funny, really.

"With all the freaks and mutants around here, I'm starting to wonder if there's a lab I could get to. At least I could find some acid that way." Farfarello pouted a little, thinking of all the fun things he couldn't have here. No blowtorch was especially galling. But maybe he could find some pliers and acid.

"Whoops..." she giggled, sticking out her tongue at the mistake. She hadn't really registered the part about the victim being mute due to the more fun details. Like skinning! Oh that made her day! "Did you keep the skin like a trophy?" She would have in a heartbeat. Well, until the Earl told her to take it down because it was too un-lady like... humph!

She considered that there might be a place to get weapons, but she didn't know herself just where. "Probably," she agreed without much extra input.

Farfarello actually pouted, just a little. "I wanted to keep the ear I cut off, but everything was cleaned up by morning." Conveninent in some ways, but he didn't get any trophies.

A lab... he'd have to ask Schuldig. If anyone had been there, Schuldig would know what was in it. A little bit of H2SO4 or HClO4 or HCl... Not much good for actual combat, but really great to fuck people up with. Everyone had to have a hobby, right? Most of Farfarello's involved causing someone else extreme pain and/or disfigurement.

"Awwwwwww," she pouted right along with him. An ear would have made an excellent trophy! The full skin would have been better, but sometimes you had to make due. It was sad that he hadn't gotten to keep anything though. "You can kill someone else and make sure to keep something next time?" she suggested. That's what she would have done to make up for not getting a prize on the last kill.

Hobbies were fun ways to express yourself. Rhode wasn't so great with chemicals, but she had her own special ways of causing pain. Many, many special ways. If only her powers would kick in a little more here...
