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.

"...for what it's worth, a close comrade of mine disappeared as well." He'd had to face the facts; Heat was gone, and there wasn't anything he could do about it. It hurt like anything, to know that he'd failed a comrade, but what more could he do?

Well, he knew what he would do if he got the chance, but that wasn't worth thinking about at the moment.

The far more important matter was that now he knew who this person was. 'Sparky'... that was referring to him. And this 'princess' had tried to put at stop to it. Knowing that, Roland was torn; on the one hand, the demon half wanted to get even right here and now, but the human half knew that such would be suicide. Besides, it had been a few nights ago and she'd obviously survived. Not everyone could claim that, when it came to Indra. So, after a moment, he quietly laughed and said, "There's flesh-eating demons, but bad novels are quite another thing all together. But... if I manage to get anywhere with another one, I'll let you take a look."

Unspoken was the hope that she'd still be around to read it.

"I'm sorry, you're friend's gone. Fucking sucks," Falis replied

She then smirked. "Come on, I've survived flesh-eating demons and lots of shit that don't know another hunter when they meet one. I think I can survive a bad novel." She chuckled. "It's not like I got much to compare it to."

She tilted her head a bit and actually gave Roland a genuine smile. "But I do hope I get a chance to read what you can come up with."
