Dayshift 22: Sun Room (Evening Shift)

[dancingdagger.livejournal.com]

It was probably a good thing Penelo listened to that weird silver haired man (she never really did get his name, did she?), because her short investigation of the Bulletin Board revealed that she wasn't alone after all. Larsa and Gabranth were here too, for whatever reason.

Penelo still couldn't quite wrap her mind around the concept that Gabranth was alive, when she had heard his dying words and had later attended his funeral back at Archades. Basch had taken his place since then, and it just boggled her. How could Gabranth have returned to life? There was no force in Ivalice that could do that.

Then again, it looked like she wasn't in Ivalice anymore.

Penelo sighed, seating herself at a table near the bulletin board as she waited for Larsa and Gabranth to arrive. Hopefully, Larsa would have some answers; she never doubted his ability to dig up information, no matter what the situation. Even so, what did they get themselves into?

"At least Vaan isn't here," Penelo reminded herself. She had gone from frantically searching for Vaan to praising the Gods that he hadn't been captured in this prison.

"I'm sure they haven't, Miss Anderson." The nurse's smile disappeared and turned into a concerned frown. Why didn't all these patients understand that they were here for a reason? In her own eyes, she hadn't been patronizing. She had only been showing concern for Jeanne's well-being...she really didn't need to worry so much about everything. She only needed to worry about herself, and let the doctors and the nurses take care of everyone else.

"Here...why don't you sit down, and I could bring you a book from the library...?" Perhaps that would calm Jeanne down a bit -- she seemed highly intelligent, but oh so disturbed -- to treat someone like that when they were showing concern! This time, her tone of voice wasn't placating, and was honestly worried instead.

"That's quite all right--I know the way, thank you." Her tone wasn't nearly as polite as her words were; if either of them was deluded, it was the nurse.

Without even looking back at the woman, Raine got up and went straight back to the library; she needed to take stock of what was available, and from there she could start making lesson plans. She didn't know yet who would actually show up if school was optional as well as technically no-credit, but at least a few should. The first lesson wasn't going to be nearly as academic as she liked, but the second one should be. And they would go from there.
