Day 44: Arts and Crafts Room, 4th Shift

The day had been slow for L so far, slower than he required: the events of the previous night were traumatic, but they did not outweigh his need for information and a useful way in which to apply whatever he might learn.

When the nurse shepherded him from the cafeteria, through the Sun Room, and over towards the door of the Arts and Crafts Room, he experienced a small internal wince: this was the room where it had happened the night before. Unpleasant, yes, but likely to be irrelevant in terms of my own welfare, except in terms of what I can learn from it, he reminded himself.

He had the impression that he could avoid the room if he wanted to, but there were several convincing reasons to push past his reluctance: his meeting with Lunge was necessary, the opportunity to see the room in more usual circumstances might be valuable, and he did not want the staff to see that he had been affected. He wasn't sure how they were tied to the events of the previous night, but the buzz of information around the Institute suggested some kind of strong connection.

As he stepped into the room, feet feeling imprisoned in the slippers that the staff kept insisting that he wear, he avoided the area where he had collapsed. Instead, he turned to the right and proceeded as far into the room as he could, then left, then took a seat in the back corner.

If the nurses pressed him to be more creative, he would take up painting. However, he expected to express his creativity in other ways.

Allelujah just continued to stare, if anything, looking even more confused. A trap? How could construction paper be... why was he even thinking about this when it was so ridiculous in the first place? Badou was weird and confusing.

He had a point though. They weren't in their world anymore, Celestial being didn't exist here. They could, in theory he supposed, but they'd lived like that for as long as they'd been in Celestial Being. "We're a privately funded military operation which is fighting the entire world," he pointed out. "Secrecy is important. Most of us didn't even use our real names. I did because I don't even officially exist, but the others had lives before they joined."

"So? You're still teammates. I don't even want to risk my life for people I know." Which was the whole truth, as far as Badou was concerned. Alle's job even sounded like something with a lot of life-risking for people he barely knew. While Badou thought the whole terrorist freedom-fighter thing was cool and all, he wasn't really gung-ho about that part.

Where were they again? Oh yeah, Alle's entire team possibly being socially retarded. At this point, Badou was pretty sure well-adjusted people just did not exist at all.

He shrugged, sprinkling glitter onto his bandaged hand idly. "You could try 'So have you met my violent psychotic side?' and then maybe do the hair flip thing and bite someone's face off. How do you do that so fast anyway? Your hair just doesn't make sense."

He hadn't said anything about risking his life for them. "We have fairly strict orders to destroy the other suits we pilot if we're ever in a position where someone is captured. That includes killing the pilot." It hadn't worked out like that in the end, with the Taklamakan desert and with... with Lockon. Even Tieria had gone against the rules, but that was still their official position. They were expendable. The GN drives were not.

He winced at Badou's way of suggesting he told them, but ended up snickering at Badou's comment about his hair. "I don't know. It just happens. Ask Hallelujah next time you see him." That would be an interesting meeting, he was sure.

"...Ok, that? That's fucked up. If I get captured here, just kill the enemy ok?" Well, terrorist just went off his list of fun future careers. The plus side was blowing things up with giant robots and hanging out on the beach. The not so plus side was getting blown up inside your giant robot by the people you'd just gone swimming with.

As for the other part... "I'm not asking your crazy side for hair styling tips. You ask him. You live with him."

"We don't have to keep our weapons completely secret here," he replied with a shrug. "It isn't important here." It was something of a relief if he were honest. He could act as he wanted while he was here. "I wouldn't kill you. I wouldn't let you stay a prisoner either." It was strange to realise that that was true enough.

"He plays loud music at stupid hours of the night. We're that kind of roommates."
