Day 43: Arts & Crafts Room (4th Shift)

[hajike-tobiume.livejournal.com]

When Momo left Hitsugaya's side, she felt both relieved to be away from him and disappointed that the nurses had separated them. Either way, she felt like she was suffocating, that she had too much building in her mind with all this on top of the message she'd been given by the undead knight on that rooftop the night before. There was only one way for Momo to relieve the pressure.

After leaving a note on the board for Senna, Momo headed into the Arts & Crafts room. She was still in a lot of pain, but Hitsugaya's healing, though minor, did make it much less painful to hold things. Taking all of the special markers, she stood before the large white board and uncapped the lightest of the colors - yellow.

Save thyself.

Those words would echo in Momo's mind for a very long time. She had much to thank the knight for, the least of which was leaving her right arm relatively undamaged. She needed it for many things, being her primary hand, but right now she needed it for one thing.

Momo began to draw.

Yukari wasn't particularly hurt by the robot's comments; she had assumed he thought those things of every meatbag he met from the start anyway.

"Now what bodily atrocity are you artistically rendering?" she asked with idle curiosity. "Another portrait of your dear Lockdown mutilating the bodies?" Oh no, just because he refused to answer didn't mean the teasing was about to stop.

"Now, that wouldn't be getting along, would it?" she murmured mildly, before adding, "Unless they wanted to die. How do you feel about mercy-killing the old and infirm?"

"Negatory: No, obviously, because he is not in the picture. This was my doing: A series of zombie meatbags impaled on coathooks, The first still animate, the second--the severed head impaled through the eye socket and the body on the hook next to it--previously animate until that was decided to be unnecessary, and the third in a medic's coat, terminated via precise and forceful application of a woodworking tool to the brain. That one was an interesting challenge. Very fast, fond of throwing things, and jumping. Like a Tach on an overdose of stimulants." He was very proud of this one. The coat hooks really had been a wonderful idea.

"Statement: Only by your definition, meatbag," he replied, not looking up from his artwork. "And that is an interesting query. While they remain un-fragmented, they are more of a drain on meatbag society as a whole." When they were fragmented, the local municipalities had to pay for the expenses of a cleanup crew. "However, having just been subjected to one of them as a 'visitor', I am more of the opinion that they should be terminated with maximum prejudice."

Though it was hard to embarrass Yukari, she did manage to look slightly queasy, or at least disgusted with HK's clinically accurate descriptions of what he had done. Yukari was not unfamiliar with carnage, but it wasn't something she'd seen in years, nor had it ever been for recreational purposes. She had to admit though, the end result was probably ridiculous enough to be more humorous than disgusting. It was just the description of the process that seemed unnecessarily gory.

"Oh, had a visitor, did you? Who was it, your master?" asked Yukari, changing the subject. The visitors were all people that the patients were close to, so Yukari couldn't imagine many other who could be considered "close" to HK. She got the feeling he wasn't much a team-player with the other Sith.

HK looked up when the meatbag didn't reply, feeling triumph when he realized that it was because he'd successfully managed to disgust. "Statement: I could go into detail on the other entertaining kills and amusing maimings that were given to the meatbags. Query: Would you like me to continue?" he said with at least a touch of smugness.

"Negative: No, it was not my master. My master is not elderly. It was a former crewmate, former Jedi and... now that I think of it, former meatbag who had been terminated. I had rather forgotten about that detail."
