Day 40: Lunch

*hobble wobble*

"Damn that SCOURGE!" Starscream cried out, the slowly-filling cafeteria producing a jarring echo of his raspy voice. His limping, already bad enough from not knowing how to properly use his crutches, was now exacerbated from the injuries he'd received the shift prior. Despite the gauges in his non-casted leg so lovingly provided by the aforementioned 'patient', Starscream could still put some weight on it, but not so much that he could really stop and rest; relieving the soreness under his arms was out of the question. The nurse that walked behind him with his tray, already upset at having to deal with yet another troublesome inmate, was growing rather impatient as his charge slowly made his way down the food line.

"Just...give me a standard serving of the aquatic creature's flesh, some of those fried potato slices, two bananas, and three bottles of juice," Starscream sighed, his anger from just a moment ago assuaged by the physical exertion needed to move the way he did. "I'm going to sit down here...bring it to me when you're done."

He was hardly surprised to find that one of the bananas was completely bruised along its inner curve, or that the handful of 'chips' on his plate were all on the small side. Tired and frustrated as he was, however, he could barely muster a 'damned flesh-creature' before moving his fingers to the plate, picking one of the longer 'chips' and shoving it into his mouth listlessly.

There was an unusually high concentration of sodium chloride crystals on it. Of COURSE.

Kagura wandered back inside with her nurse, still somewhat bewildered by the girl she'd met at the greenhouse. She picked up her food and looked around, though she wasn't really sure who she was looking for. The Pigmask leader hadn't really given a description, so she really just had to wait and see if he showed up. Hopefully Bridget was having better luck.

She seated herself at an empty table and started eating her meal, picking at the fish and humming quietly to herself.

Well, shit. Everything was going just super for Porky now. He hadn't expected to announce to everyone that he had a power. Not only that, but he had given everyone a serious case to not trust Porky at all. And on top of it all, Porky, for all his worth, had been wrong about Lelouch's power! As if to add insult to injury, he had gloated so much, and he had actually been wrong!

Well, fuck it all. If no one trusted Porky, then Porky would just act how he would have on the Nowhere Islands: brutal, merciless, and, above all, violent. Porky grabbed three orders of fries and, after a moment of thought, six apples. Porky had read messages about someone who loved apples on the bulletin board, and he seemed like a very interesting character. Perhaps meeting him in the future would prove useful...for now, though, he had a meeting with a no-longer prospective Pigmask Club member. No point in beating around the bush.

Porky searched the cafeteria for the girl who had wanted to meet with him, and unceremoniously dropped his tray onto the table she was sitting at when he had found her.

"No point in meeting, I suppose," Porky sighed, "It's pretty obvious from your messages to Lelouch on the bulletin board that you have no interest in joining the Pigmask Club. Such a pity."

Porky sat down and began eating his fries. It was obvious that this wouldn't be productive in the least, but that was no reason to be silent.

"So..." Porky began slowly, "How have you been doing since you came here?"

Even if Lelouch had said some bad things about the Pigmask Club, Kagura had still hoped to find out for herself. The man had been nice to her on the bulletin before, but when the tray slammed down onto the table, she couldn't help but jump.

"I... u-um..." she wasn't sure what she'd expected, but the old man in front of her was hardly it. "W-well I still... I... I haven't really decided s-so..." she trailed off, appearing for all the world like a tiny, frightened Japanese school girl.

"I um... I will still hear you out Pigmask-san," she tried to assure him. "It... it's only fair to listen to both sides."

"Hrrrmmm..." Porky muttered, "Thanks for giving me a chance, I suppose. Not many people seem to give me a chance to explain myself here."

Even if she said that she would listen to Porky as well as Lelouch, it was obvious that she had already been tainted by Lelouch's influence. Her and almost everyone else, it seemed...well, maybe Porky was wrong about her. Maybe she would listen to Porky. Maybe she'd even join the Pigmask Club!

...Ha ha ha...yeah, right.

"Anyway, what did you want to know?" Porky asked gloomily, "And sorry for how I'm acting. I'm not this depressed normally."

Hopefully the man wouldn't be too upset with her. He seemed satisfied when she agreed to hear him out, but it was still kind of intimidating.

"Ah- I'm... I'm sorry that you're feeling down Pigmask-san," she said, trying to be sympathetic. "I um... w-well, my friend and I are looking into all the clubs right now to... to see if we can find one that suits us. I just was curious a-about what your club does and... and why."
