Day 34: Intercom, Noon

"Good afternoon, patients, and I am glad to see our new arrivals are already making such good friends with our current population!" The Head Doctor's words were usual, unremarkable, which meant that whatever had gone out of control these past couple days was evening out into some form of Dr. Landel's nefarious schemes. For now, however, he simply chuckled with good humor. "We'll be bringing in new patients during this shift as well, of course, but what I'm sure most of you are most intrigued by is... food! Yes, although lunch is posted up on the bulletin board on the schedule, I doubt many of you pay attention to it.... Ahem.

"Today's meal is chicken tenders made from fresh, juicy chicken breasts. As sides, we have potato chips, vegetable soup, and cole slaw, and we of course have honey-mustard and barbeque sauce for dipping. As always, our fruit and salad bar is open for anyone looking for a different meal, and our drinks are water, milk, apple juice, and pink lemonade.

"Mm! Sure sounds delicious, doesn't it? In any case, I hope you all enjoy your meal and your new company."

The intercom clicked off.

[ All introduction posts for this shift's group of new characters should be made in response to this post. (Have your new character wake up in a random empty room, as we aren't yet able to officially assign rooms.) Thanks! ]

The nurse gave her a pitying look. “I’m afraid it is. Now come along, Miss Evans. You wouldn’t want to miss lunch, now would you?” As she spoke, she gestured for Elincia to follow her out of the room.

Immediately she knew that she didn’t want to follow her. She wanted only to get as far away as possible from that strange place. ‘Landel’s Institute’ the nurse had called it. However, she was nearly certain the nurse wouldn’t allow her to simply leave.

She slowly stood up. It took her a moment to gain her balance, but she soon began to wordlessly follow her nurse out the door. As she did she found herself thinking that maybe… if she was lucky… it would all begin to make sense soon.
