Day 39: Intercom, Evening

[damned-intercom.livejournal.com]

The Head Doctor seemed a little rushed as he spoke on the intercom, not taking as much pleasure as he usually did in describing the delicious food that would soon be served.

"Hello, everyone! Tonight is turkey night, which means turkey breast in a great turkey gravy with some nice turkey sides: peas, herb potatoes, a small garden salad, and for dessert, a slice of pumpkin pie. We of course have vegetarian substitutes available, as well as our usual assortment of drinks.

"...I believe that's it! I'll talk to you soon!"

The intercom clicked off abruptly.

Elena smiled a little too, the conversation actually putting her at ease a bit. "I'm sure he deserved it. I've never been sedated here before, but it doesn't look all that fun."

She shifted her pillows a little, struggling to get comfortable. "You know Ninja Gir- er, Yuffie too?" Nodding slightly, she thought back to their previous encounters, trying not to think about what had led her to getting hurt in the first place. Perhaps it was time to talk to her soon.

"They've been Turks for a lot longer than I have, and our groups kind of clashed a little back at home. I don't blame her for not liking them... but they're the only family I've got now, really."

As much as you could call it that. She also knew she was being a little vague, but it was on purpose for once.

"Damn right he did. Asshole's name is Spider Jerusalem. He's fixated on finding out the identity of my... my..." What the hell was Yukari to her anyways? Stalker, pain-in-the-ass... Would she actually call her a friend? No, probably not... yet. She had to stop herself from saying my youkai. Great, Sheena, just great.

"...someone kinda, vaguely, possibly, maybe important yet really irritating and... kinda okay to be around." A pause. "You know, if I'm bored. Or something."

Sheena sighed and set the offending pen down, examining her ink-stained fingers. "And, yeah, Yuffie's my friend. We're sorta rivals too, being ninja and all. But she's fun."

Elena kind of wondered if the person she was talking about was actually closer than she was willing to let on. But maybe she hadn't realized it yet. She resisted smiling at the explanation, instead settling back more into her bedding. Her wounds were starting to hurt. "Mmn, this sucks."

"I think Yuffie's good at making people her enemies. But she's a good person overall, I think."

"Yeah, I think so too. Not many can handle a ninja's ego," Sheena replied.

Despite what she'd decided earlier about Elena and the woman's wounds, Sheena couldn't help the look of concern. "Hey, you need anything of whatnot since I'm here and all..."

[brightlyshine.livejournal.com]

"Oh.... Thanks, but I'll be fine. It's kinda my own fault anyways, y'know? I'm just not going to do anything big tonight, is all."

Elena did appreciate the gesture of concern, though, if that's what it was.

"Rude said they might go raid the doctor's offices and try to find some booze. It'd be kind of nice for a change..."

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

"Why am I not surprised?" Rude seemed like the kind of guy that would need a drink after a few nights here.

"So... what's his eyes look like? I wanted to see, but he wouldn't let me." It was kinda weird, really.

"He's kind of weird about that, yeah..."

Before Elena could continue, a nurse came back into the room. Without explanation, she was "helped" to stand up out of bed, and started to be lead towards the door.

"Wait, what's going on?"

"You'll be coming with me for a while, for your treatment."

Elena blinked in confusion. "But they already changed my bandages... wait..!"

She glanced back to Sheena with a slightly panicked look, but she was out the door and it quickly closed behind her before she could protest. Nothing was remembered after that.
