Day 43: Game Room, Third Shift

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

Peh. "Graduates." Who were they trying to fool? It's not like anyone here believed them, and no one ever visited the institute. What was the point in keeping up this sad little charade? To add to the realism of it? Well, whatever. If they wanted to continue this exercise in futility, that was fine with Porky. All it meant was that they spent more time focusing on the day instead of the night, which was definitely a good thing. Now, who was Porky supposed to meet in the Game Room again? Ah, that's right. Porky didn't know...

No matter. It's not like they would be able to hurt Porky or something in broad daylight. Then again, there were some more...savage patients here. Well, Porky was sure that none of them would be interested in meeting with Porky anyway.

While he waited for his mysterious contact, Porky grabbed a gameboy and started looking for a game to pop in.

...No Zelda, no Mario, no Kirby...What was wrong with Landel? Did he have no taste whatsoever? Porky kept looking for something he had actually heard of before, and eventually settled on...Tetris. How dreadfully boring. Well, no matter. As long as he didn't have to play a board game or something, Porky was content. After turning on the gameboy, Porky merely sat down and played, eagerly anticipating whoever had asked to meet with him.

They had been ready when he awoke in the morning. Of course, they should have been... they knew what had happened the last night, they knew who had died and who had seen it happen. Tanaka barely had time to go five feet towards the nurse when that sting was in his arm again, and he found himself stumbling into the Sun Room, half-asleep and dazed, while the meat puppet that led him claimed that his friend Caleb "had made a full recovery and was discharged this morning." It had taken two whole shifts for him to come out of that haze, and then a note from the tentacled pervert to snap him back to his duty. The Captain had left them with orders, after all, and he'd take his own life before denying Zelnick's last wishes. Even if it meant caring for the mental state of the most incomprehensible VUX he'd ever had the misfortune of meeting. Even if it meant waiting idle for a shift while ZEX was "with a visitor and not to be disturbed."

Tanaka sighed, picked up a chess board - one of the few items in the room that he actually recognized - and began setting the pieces up on it. At least this might draw someone else over to talk to about escape ideas while he was waiting for the slimewad to get back.
