Day 43: Intercom, Evening

Hello! I.R.I.S. here once more to announce to you, our honored guests, that you have officially made it through a day of our typical Landel's treatment. Of course, it isn't quite over: we will now have you retire to our designated patient quarters with one of your agency partners to inspect their sleeping area and the tools that we provide them with for the true bulk of our behavioral testing. On an added note, we would like you to notice once again that the meals we provide to our subjects are of the highest quality.

For those of you feeling apprehensive about taking part in our more intensive methods, please be aware that we would never imagine putting all of you in any danger whatsoever. This last shift will be your last at our Institute; afterward, we will escort you to our Head Doctor's personal observation station to survey some of our test Next-Wave participants in the rigorous trials we put them through – all for their betterment, of course.

Once again, we hope that you are satisfied with what you find, and as always, direct any questions you may have to your console.


The nurses began to escort the patients to their rooms. They didn't even seem to be brought to awareness by words such as "testing" and "subjects."

[ All room threads go in response to this post; please post your character's room number as the subject line of the initial post. (Find all of the newly changed room assignments and shift introductions here.) If you are introducing your character during this shift, you may either choose for them character to wake up before their roommate gets back, or after. ]

Though Guy hadn't pushed the issue, apparently Okita had sensed his disapproval, seeing how he did end up abandoning the sheets to go back to his meal. He was only eating the salad, which wasn't going to provide him with very much energy, but it was better than nothing and Guy knew that. He realized that it must have been hard for Okita to adapt to some of this food, but his personal opinion was that he should get over it before it started to compromise his usefulness to his club. Eventually malnutrition would wear down on a person (and Okita was pretty frail already).

"I think we're both lucky," Guy said with a brief laugh. "I don't think I'd want to be on your bad side, Okita." He'd seen what his roommate was capable of up close and personal. While Guy could be almost as fierce when he had a reason for it, he didn't like resorting to that, and he wasn't able to match someone else's anger and killing intent unless he had an extremely good reason for it.

He felt like he should be gathering his things for the coming night, but then he had to remind himself that he wasn't going anywhere.

Okita laughed at that, moving on to his fries, but slowing down considerably. He didn't want to finish these and have to go to the steak. He honestly thought he got enough protein through other methods, and sometimes by asking the nurse to slip him something during the day. He ate, just not where many people saw him. "Yes, but I don't think it's possible for you to get on my bad side, Guy-san."

And he really didn't want to test if it was possible. People on Okita's bad side tended not to live very long. Those who were foolish enough to get on it and then antagonize him? Shorter still.  After hesitating a moment, he tried the steak and managed not to make a face, even if the meat felt heavy on his tongue. At least it wasn't pork. He ate it politely and then stood up to go back to his work. "I'm lucky I'm not on yours though, considering how badly I teased you the first night we met."
nobleman: (they will pull us down.)
