Day 39: Intercom, Evening
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.
[ If you are introducing your character during this shift, you may either choose for them character to wake up before their roommate gets back, or after.
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! ]

Re: M71
"What? No, no!" He half rose from the bed, leaning forward and waving his hands apologetically. "That wasn't what I-"
Whumph! Splurt.
His tray had flipped over. There were peas and potatoes all over his blankets, and now he had gravy knees.
"Great," he muttered sourly. Resigned, he removed the tray, squeezing out his partly soaked napkin to wipe up what he could of the mess.
"I wasn't trying to make fun of you. You just surprised me, that's all," he explained. "And I'm used to saying those kind of things to people, so I just...wasn't thinking." Peter was making little progress on clearing away the sauce from his sweatpants, but he doggedly pressed on, if only to avoid looking Brainiac in the eye. He'd have to put a cork in that motor mouth of his if he wanted to stay on the boy's good side. "I'm sorry."
Well, at least Brainiac was still willing to answer his question. That was a good sign, right? "We had something like that back home," he said, returning to the hesitant tone he'd used when they had first started talking. "We called them the Ultimates. They just stayed on Earth, though, but you probably could've guessed that. And I, uh...didn't do anything interesting." Besides bouncing around town in a webbed unitard, that is. "I'm still in high school, and I work part time at the newspaper - web design, mostly, but I did a little photography too. Other than that, pretty much nothing special."
Re: M71
He hesitated a moment longer, watching Peter trying to clean up the mess on his own, then the Coluan boy pushed back his chair and rose, neatly unfolding his own napkin as he did so and moving to Peter's side. There was still mashed food all over the bed, so he began carefully scraping it up with the napkin and depositing it back onto the tray.
"I should also apologise," he said quietly, continuing to do his best to help clean up the mess without getting too much on himself. "I've been having some trouble with many of the other people here I've spoken to. I suppose I... forgot that not everyone is trying to start some kind of argument with me. Not to mention that today has been particularly trying."
He finished scraping up the last of the food, but there wasn't much he could do about what had become ingrained into the covers of the bed itself. Fortunately Peter wouldn't be sleeping on it for some time, at least until the night was complete and whatever returned them to their rooms took place.
"Most likely you come from an Earth similar to mine," Brainiac 5 said, standing up from what he'd been doing and glancing over at Peter. "I believe in this time period, Earth was largely known for the hero Superman and the Justice League. But much information on them was lost in the Great Crisis, so I'm afraid I can't tell you much more."
