Day 37: Sun Room

Joe had read some of the larger notes stuck up on the bulletin board when the announcement came on the intercom. All things considered, this Landel guy didn't even seem so bad. Even if these people were held here against their will, he was certainly nice about it.

Apparently, the new patients - including Joe - were to hang around in the Sun Room or go to Arts and Crafts with the kids. Well, there was plenty of information on the board, including maps and descriptions of monsters, for Joe to prepare for the nighttime, when he could seriously get going on fighting his way out. He could look for where the boss would probably be waiting, or where his V-watch might be, and figure out how to fight the monsters. In fact, he had plenty of time to work all that out... but this the first time he'd had to really relax since he got his powers. So it couldn't possibly hurt to enjoy the calm period, could it?

The red-head stepped back from the board, and hopped back onto a comfy-looking couch to digest in the sunlight. He reached up to pull his cap down, and sighed when he realized it wasn't there. "Oh well, nothing's perfect. I still wouldn't call this hell."

Mitsuru merely nodded in response. Maybe they had different reasons for what they were saying, for all she knew, but she agreed with what Rangiku was saying. Best to let that topic drop for now, before they began repeating each other.

There was a small smile on her own face at Rangiku's explanation, though. "I see. Then it looks like things are in good hands. There are similar beings in my world, called Shadows. They're not quite dead, but they do need to be quelled. More spawn as the previous ones corrupt humans. Very few people are able to fight them."

"We try our best," Rangiku replied with a small smile. "They do sound very similar to Hollows," she continued when Mitsuru began to explain. Shadows, Hollows, numerous other creatures that she'd heard about since arriving here; it seemed like every world had their own version of them. "Should I assume that you're one of the people who can fight them?"
