Day 37: Sun Room

[hismastersdance.livejournal.com]

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."

"It's no problem," she said, smiling at his apology. "You've been very helpful."

She'd have to remember his name; he seemed competent and friendly enough to be worth exploiting befriending.

Yukari opened her mouth, about to ask some more mundane questions, such as, "What do you do for fun around" (she suspected his answer would be, "Nothing"), but before she could get so much as a word out, she was interrupted by the Head Doctor coming on on the intercom, announcing the end of the shift and the move into lunch.

"Well, thank you for you help," she said with a smile. "Is it okay if I come to you again if I have any other problems, Adelheid?"

Well that was something, at least. Adelheid inclined his head at her words, and smiled a little as she asked one last question. He'd forgotten to ask any of his own, but... perhaps next time they met, he could ask. For now, he just hoped that she'd stay safe. She seemed a nice enough woman, he'd feel terrible if something happened. "Of course," he affirmed, "if there's anything I can do, just let me know. It's been a pleasure."

"For me as well," she replied with a smile. The same smile was then directed at the nurse who came to direct her to lunch.

"Time for lunch, Violet. Did you have a nice conversation with Mr. Haushofer?"

"Indeed I did," replied Yukari, getting up and following the woman. She waved as she gave one last look over her shoulder at the man. "See you later, then," she called.

Not a bad start to an interesting day.
