Day 51: Arts & Crafts (4th shift)
There were very few activity shifts, Cloud was sure, that could possibly make him feel more like he was being treated like a child. He took a seat at one of the tables and blankly examined the materials set out before him. A pair of the dullest scissors he'd ever seen were labeled 'ages 3 and up'. It was good to know where the patients stood in this.
He wasn't much of an artist, and he ignored most of the paints and other drawing utensils in favor of a few sheets of colored paper and instructions on how to make origami. That sounded vaguely familiar. Didn't Yuffie have throwing weapons made out of paper at some point? It was something to do anyway, and thus Cloud began the process of crafting what ended up being very elaborate paper wads.
Sadly, his attempts to keep from dwelling on the subject of his missing friend failed when he realized this was something Aerith probably would have enjoyed greatly. Tonight, he and Yuffie would go out and try to accomplish... something. It was depressing to think there really might not be anything they could do, that they might all end up the same as the flower girl eventually.

He sat down as far from anybody else as he could get, nurse still hovering irritatingly over his shoulder and explaining that making crafts was fun!, and started to tear little pieces off one of the sheets of paper. He had nothing against origami, but like hell he was going to make cranes while Landel and his buddies cracked jokes about it from their safe little hiding place.
"Now James," his nurse chided, "that's now how we use the paper. Would you like help?"
Logan crumpled the paper up and tossed it at the table. "Lady, what I'd like is for you to quit calling me James and get the hell off my back. I'd also like a beer and a phone call." He shot her a look that apparently wasn't mean enough, because she smiled politely at him.
"I'll be back to see what you've made," she replied, turning away. "Have fun!"
Logan waited until she was gone and tore into another sheet of paper. It still seemed like forever until dinner, and he was going to be bored the whole time. If he was lucky, the damn nurse wouldn't come back and think he was going for paper-mâché.
