Day 36: Intercom, Evening

The intercom's jingle rang out and the somewhat uninhibited movement that was going on between the main activity rooms halted as the Head Doctor made one of his usual announcements.

"Good evening everyone, and I'm very pleased to see so many of you in such high spirits after meeting with your loved ones! However, like with all good things, it can't last forever, so I ask now for nurses to escort our patients in the waiting rooms and in the main areas back to their rooms, where they will be treated with a special Sunday... steak! That's right: today, we'll be serving juicy, delicious steak with fries and cooked vegetables on the side – simple enough for everyone to like and good enough for everyone to thoroughly enjoy! (Our patients with specialized diets will receive their alternate meals, of course.) Our usual beverages are available, and for dessert, we'll be serving warm slices of apple pie.

"After all, patients, t's always wonderful to see all of you cooperating with the staff even when given so much freedom, so I'd like to personally thank and congratulate all of you for helping us, your family, and more importantly, yourselves. Hopefully, we can help you to a speedy recovery so that you can see your loved ones more often, but first... dinner! I hope to speak with you all again soon."

The intercom clicked off.

[ All room threads go in response to this post; please post your character's room number as the subject line of the initial post. Thank you!

On an added note, just wanted to clarify to players of characters who are canonly vegetarians and the like that you get to decide (within reasonable and realistic limits) what kind of diet your character gets from the staff. :3 ]

Hanyuu had been sweet. That had been just what Tokito needed, after that nasty fit he'd had the shift after brunch. And now, he got to eat! He was almost in a good mood, or at least as good as the circumstances allowed. There was pie for dessert, which definitely didn't hurt.

Now if he could just figure out how to get something done tonight.

Jamie was looking forward to the meeting tonight in M3, as much as he could truly look forward to anything here, he supposed; collating and examining information to concoct a more effective course of action was, after all, part of his job back home, so doing the same here when given the option just made sense.

He glanced to Tokito as he entered their room and seated himself to start on his dinner. "What'd you have planned for tonight?" he asked, without preamble. "That guy, Valyn - he posted something up on the bulletin board for us. Said he'd be willing to help us out again if we wanted him to."

"I don't look at the board that much." It wasn't like Tokito knew very many people here, or wanted to, so there wasn't much point squinting at people's lousy handwriting all the time. "But someone told me there were sports supplies in the shed by the field, like maybe baseball bats. I thought I'd check that out..." Truthfully, Tokito didn't entirely mind the thought of going alone, if Jamie was busy elsewhere. It wasn't like Jamie was likely to be able to help him in a fight.

"Hmn." Jamie frowned a bit as he chewed a french fry. "Really think you can make it out there?" From everything he'd heard - which, admittedly, wasn't much - even getting out of the building was a challenge, and thus far they hadn't exactly had a lot of luck in their previous explorations.
