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.

[For Eva, I think~]

In any event, it didn't take long for the game to end. Evangeline tried to stave off the inevitable, but it was, in the end, irrelevant. Evangeline's king was eventually cornered and she was forced to surrender. Of course, Porky had never expected it to turn out any other way, but it was still satisfying to see the game come to its rightful conclusion. When the final pieces were in place, Porky looked up and smiled at Evangeline.

"Checkmate," Porky said, a friendly smile on his face, "And I must admit, you put up quite a fight, and I mean that sincerely. I hope you can forgive me for my admittedly childish behavior earlier. And I hope you don't feel too bad for losing. Truthfully, your skill was on par with that of a master, but I am 10,000 years old, and with age comes wisdom, eh?"

"Hah!" Evangeline laughed at the self-important declaration at the end. "Wisdom comes from what you do and see, not how long you do and see them. Extra time is just good for adding to your hobbies. Still, you'll have to tell me how you managed that some time," she ended, almost eerily cheerful. He still hadn't taken very good stock of her, thinking she might 'feel bad' about anything, let alone some little game, but he was right to be trying to stay on her good side.
