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.

He'd taken the bait. Kristoph immediately raise an eyebrow, as though to consider an internal debate. There was, of course, none to mull over. "Well, it..." The man's frown deepened, albeit only for a millisecond. "Ah, this might be best to see with your own eyes."

And explain thoroughly later.

"For now--" The elder glanced around. "--why don't we pass the time? You look as though you could use a distraction."

That immediately set alarms off in the younger brother's mind. Suddenly, he wasn't so confident about his ability to handle this visit. It was starting to seem as though this visiting concept was a bit more complicated than Klavier had realized. Enough to cause concern in even Kristoph. And it was something the elder felt couldn't accurately be described. Above all else, it was that fact that made the situation seem especially dire.

A small, grateful smile crossed Klavier's lips at the suggestion. Distractions always worked well to clear his mind, as his brother most probably knew. He was certainly appreciative of the offer to console him. And under normal circumstances, the younger wouldn't have hesitated for even a second at the offer to play a game with the elder.

But that was just it. 'A game.' And that idea only renewed foul feelings he really wanted swallowed down and thoroughly forgotten. But even so, he could never refuse such an offer. It had been far too long since they'd been able to spend any leisure time together pleasantly. And what with Kristoph's incarceration... it wasn't exactly anything they could normally do back home. Anymore, that is.

He also glanced around at what the room had to offer. There were quite a few games to choose from without looking too hard, but there was one in particular that usually stuck out in Klavier's mind when considering playing a game with Kristoph. "...Chess? It's been a while, hasn't it?" There was already a checkered board at their table. They had only to set up the pieces.
