Day 51: Breakfast

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Yuffie Kisaragi, indomitable bouncing ball of sunshine and unfathomable ebullience, was tired. It'd been a long night full of gibberish and getting nowhere fast.

"Can't I—"

Plucky, who had been busily loading a plate full of French toast and bacon, tittered. "I'm afraid not, Hanna, darling. A chat over a nice, hearty breakfast would do you a world of good, don't you think?"

"Aaaaactually—"

"Come on, let's find you a seat. Plenty to choose from this morning!"

For a long moment, Yuffie seriously considered doing something—anything—to act out. Punch her nurse, rub jam in an orderly's face, climb a wall and hang off the ceiling, jump on a table and parody Loveless… A ruckus like that would definitely jolt her back into gear, right? Sedation aside. And it'd turn Plucky's good day right on its head, which was always a bonus worth shooting for.

But, by the time she'd reached a decision—and it was an epic decision, a really awesome one; everybody'd appreciate the genius, she was sure—she was already alone. Her breakfast tray had been set down neatly by the nurse, who had left with an infuriatingly winsome smile.

"Wow," Yuffie muttered. Shaking her head, she picked a chair at random and threw herself into it. She kicked back, one arm slung across her eyes, to wait. For what, she wasn't totally sure. Some moron to decide that she looked like good company? That was how it usually went.

The man's speech was strange, but Naraku found it more amusing than irritating. He used large words, which either meant that he was intelligent, or he wished others to find him intelligent. Either way, Naraku was enjoying the conversation. It wasn't the most informative one he'd ever had, but it was pleasing to think that he might make further alliances in so confusing a setting.

He sneered at what the other male had to say. So Victor had remained trapped in the place known as Landel's for an entire fortnight? It didn't bode well for Naraku and his current situation; he needed to return to his home, to his castle, and continue the fight for the shikon no tama. He was too close to fail now.

"Yes," he answered, still contemplating everything that he'd learned thus far. "The females are useless in that regard - which is unfortunate. There are so many of them hovering about in the facility; if one could persuade them into assisting us, perhaps that could leave an opening large enough for multiple prisoners to escape?" It was already obvious that attempting any sort of escape during night hours was useless; he wasn't sure exactly how far he and the other two had made it from the building the night before, but it must have been a decent distance from it. A somewhat off-putting thought, but Naraku was nothing if not determined.
