Day 40: Recreational Field

[stalksperverts.livejournal.com]

Kio's breakfast ended on a much happier note than it had started. However, for once the announcement truly surprised him. He blinked as his nurse came to pick him up. Recreational Field? But.. but if they had a greenhouse, he wanted to go there. The prospect of gardening was a truly liberating one, an island of joy in this hellhole. He thought about going to the Sun Room and lying down, but it occurred to him that he hadn't had proper fresh air since being here. With a cheery goodbye wave to Honey, he followed his torturer outside.

It was much better than he had expected. The sun wasn't too hot (what time of the year were they in, anyway?), so he walked slowly along the walls, fascinated by the size of the field. He wondered if Sou-chan was alright. He hadn't even checked the board. Well, if Soubi wanted to apologize, Kio would be willing to listen. The place was so crisp and clean. He had to think if anyone had ever gone over the walls. What was out there? Freedom? Or a different sort of monster?

Leaning against one of the walls, Kio took as much advantage of the sun as he could. He desperately wanted a lollipop. One was quietly nestled in his pocket, but he would need to wait until the nurses were busy with other patients before he tried anything. Soubi had gone to some trouble to get them, the least he could do was make sure they didn't get confiscated. So with bated breath, Kio waited for a shift in the mood. He was, for once, content. Not happy, but not going crazy either.

Diego glanced up at Scar, surprised. He didn't see that one coming. Although he had no idea what a lion was, Alita had mentioned feline, so... Scar was also a cat? That was interesting. "Really? That kind of thing happens a lot?" Diego wasn't sure whether to be intrigued or disgusted.

"What's the point of a game like that?" he asked, following the path of the round object across the grass. He'd never seen humans playing around like this, but then again, he hadn't seen enough of human herds to determine what they did with their free time. He just assumed they went around hunting things.

"You are the first other cat I've ran into, and the second animal. The other was of the canine sort." Scar answered. "Most of the others don't seem to be animals."

"I have yet to figure that one out, as I'm not too familiar with them myself." he admitted. It was true; before coming here he had never seen a human before. "But then again, humans seem to enjoy pointless things, like most of the other activities they make us do here during the day. Even the objects they use hardly serve a purpose most of the time."

The King shrugged. "Humans are rather odd, are they not?"

Diego nodded, still watching the game. "Yeah. A lot more than I used to think." Humans like Porky wouldn't have lasted a day back in the icy mountains Diego called home.

"So this... Landel guy. What does he do, take people from different times and just drag them all here? Or are we supposed to be here?" Another important question surfaced in Diego's mind for the first time since waking up here. "And how on earth does he do it?"

[longlivetheking]

"That is indeed what he is doing. Though how or even why he is doing it, other than attempting to play with our heads and being part of some sadistic game, is still unknown. Landel isn't very keen to part with such details." Scar answered. "On top of that, he seems to be making sure we cannot reach such valuable information easily."

There were only theories and thoughts, but no solid facts. "With the ease he pulls people from their respective homes, he also makes them disappear." Those disappearances were rather strange.

"Disappear?" As ominous as the word sounded, Diego felt a small sliver of hope. "So if we don't join in his sadistic game, he just pops us back where we came from?" That was interesting. Of course, he'd probably only be dead when he got back, but anything was better than being trapped in a human body for the rest of his life.

"I hate to be the one breaking it to you, but who ever said we'd return home?" Scar said after rolling his eyes. Some individuals and their assumptions. "Unless someone has come back to inform you, of course."
