Day 32: Intercom, Evening

The intercom clicked on and the Head Doctor spoke with his usual fervor.

"Good evening, patients and staff! I am pleased to announce that the arrival of nearly all of our new patients will conclude this shift. In addition, we have a very delicious dinner in store for you: carved Turkey with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed, seasoned vegetables. For drinks, we have our usual assortment available, and as a dessert included with your dinner, we will be serving a slice of warm apple pie with each meal.

"I trust that those of you enjoying the company of new roommates will give them a warm Landel's welcome, and I also hope that those of you who participated in therapy today were able to find a productive time with their doctors.

"That's all for now! Enjoy dinner, everyone!"

The intercom clicked off again.

[ Please respond to this post with all dinner shift threads between roommate, putting your character's respective room in the subject line. While we have none scheduled for this shift at this time: all introduction posts for this shift's group of new characters should be made in response to this post; the introduction may then continue on to be a regular roommate thread. ]

"Pets?" Artemis shook his head. "No, I never had the desire for a pet. Besides, even if I had one, it wouldn't have been my responsibility. It would have been taken care of by someone else, and I think that's beside the point, correct? Did you?"

"I never had any pets either," Haku said. "But I would see others my age that had them, so I was curious. Oh!" He brightened. "Zabuza-san allowed me to keep rabbits from time to time. They were the sort that would change their fur color depending on the season."

He laughed softly. "Of course, around me they were always white. I never really saw their summer coats."

"Rabbits," Artemis mused. He supposed the rabbits who changed their fur color would be highly interesting pets. He wouldn't know, but it at least sounded interesting.

"Well white rabbits aren't exactly so bad," Artemis said with a smile. "I believe they're lucky in some cultures, after all."

[Shall we wrap this up and move to NS? :3]

"I suppose they could be." Haku laughed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm not terribly good at what could be considered 'small talk'." Any conversations he had in the past were usually related to missions or other business.

(Sure!)

"You say that as though it's a problem," Artemis said with a chuckle. "We talk about plenty of things that aren't related to heavy issues. ...They're few and far-between, but that doesn't mean we don't talk about them.

"And besides, you're learning about human interaction. Not being very good at small talk is fine. You'll learn soon enough," He promised with a smile.
