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.

Asch crossed his arms and forgot about lunch. "A copy of someone. There's not another word for it, and I don't know the specifics of how they do it. It's called fomicry." He made a frustrated noise and pushed his hair up out of his face.

"I don't even know why the hell I'm telling you this."

To be perfectly honest, Jason didn't know why Asch was putting up with him either. He'd half-way expected the man to storm off by now or just start ignoring him. Hell, maybe he wanted someone to talk to about this kind of shit and there wasn't anyone else who knew about it and wasn't the 'replica' in question. Too bad he was barking up entirely the wrong tree if that were the case.

Not that Jason planned to stop digging any time soon. If Asch was feeling chatty he was perfectly happy to take advantage of that. "Really. And why would anyone want a copy of you?"

Asch couldn't take it anymore. He'd had enough quite awhile ago, and that was the last straw. "Yeah. Why would they?" he asked, but there was anger still in his voice. He stood up abruptly and veritably stormed off, not even bothering to take his tray with him.
