Day 41: Intercom, Evening

When the intercom's jingle sounded, there seemed to be some kind of tapping in the background noise, like letters being punched into a keyboard. It stopped and the Head Doctor chuckled.

"Hello, everyone! I'm actually taking a break from paperwork for once – everyone needs some recreational time, you know! – and of course, now we can all look forward to a scrumptious dinner from our cooks. Tonight, herb-seasoned grilled salmon is on the menu, served with buttery mashed potatoes and asparagus. All our regular drinks and vegetarian options are available, and for dessert, we will be serving yellow cake with a whipped cream icing.

"...Well! I can hardly wait to get my own dinner after saying all that. Good bye for now, everyone, and enjoy your delicious food!"

The intercom clicked off.

...Of course. Wish for one thing, get the opposite. Whatever.

The second the woman walked into the room, Dahlia had her mask back on, smiling sweetly and giving a wave of her own. "Oh! Hello, miss. My name is Dahlia Hawthorne and... well, I guess we are roommates now. I hope we can get along just fine." She stuck out a hand, waiting for the handshake so she could get back to dinner.

"Hi!" Eileen said in return, cheerily. "I'm Eileen Galvin. It's nice to meet you, Dahlia. That's a really pretty name." Sort of exotic, but one that Eileen swore was familiar. Where had she heard it before? Well, it probably didn't matter. Dahlia seemed perfectly nice, just like everyone else she'd met so far.

"I'm sure we'll get along," she added, before taking her own seat to address her dinner. Damn, another day and she hadn't asked anyone to go with her tonight. Maybe she could find Yohji again....

Minus points for not shaking her hand, no matter how sweet a greeting Eileen gave her. Ignoring her? Dahlia Hawthorne? Was just rude and she immediate didn't like this woman. She brought it back to herself with a tiny pout, but didn't say anything about it. "Thank you."

Still, a sucker with info was still a sucker and Dahlia wouldn't put it past Ms. Sweetheart over there to not fall for the act either. "Excuse me if this sounds rude and intrusive, but... how long have you been here, Ms. Galvin?"

Eileen shrugged. "I don't really know," she admitted, for the second time that day. "A week, probably a little more." She had had a few days of safety (or relative, for this place) then they'd taken her for experiments, and then how long? She couldn't remember, but a little over a week sounded right.

"It's the...funny time, I guess." It was easy to get mixed up.
