Day 56: Intercom, Late Evening

May 24, 2011 00:43

Despite the rough start and the heavier snowfall, the buses managed to stay on route and on schedule. With minutes to spare, they arrived at the gates of Landel's Institute, back to the waiting arms of the military. All pretenses seemed to drop at this point, and the soldiers again took on their patented gruff exteriors. Patients were filed out of ( Read more... )

The flurry of snow had engulfed the night by the time Sechs and his fellow prisoners were transported past the possessive gates of the institute. As they were herded out of the bus, the blistering cold was like an invisible creature, gnawing away at every inch of exposed skin on Sechs' shivering body. He could feel the drug in his spine stirring, it's blackened mass shifting slowly inside; Sechs knew the effects of his "M-U" was sure to arrive early no thanks to the weather, and he cursed it under his breath as he was herded back into the institute ( ... )

((Gah. This is so late. I'm sorry. ;;))The promise of having his items returned to him upon arriving back in his room proved to be true, and Sai carefully checked over his earlier purchases. His roommate was temporarily ignored as he made certain both packages of cigarettes were whole. He wouldn't be using them himself, but they'd be a gold mine to someone else. The lighter was as it should be, none of the liquid inside missing, and the backpack didn't seem to have suffered any wear. All in all, he didn't think he'd gotten off too poorly that day. He'd just have to see if his decisions paid off later ( ... )

[No worries!]

Sechs was still grumpily poking at the pink blob on his plate (maybe the new management tried to make food with nano-bots but got this pink goo instead...) when Sai quietly entered the room. Sechs grunted out a wordless greeting when his roommate reached over and switched the plates around.

"Ah-- HEY! Awesome!" Sechs exclaimed, his pout instantly transforming into a grin at the real food that had been placed before him. Immediately he dug into his dinner with much gusto, nearly forgetting the magic word before managing to mumble it out through a mouth full of food. "Phanks!"

With a better meal to fuel the night, Sechs felt a boost to his morale. After a large gulp of dinner was forced down into his stomach, Sechs looked to Sai and the new objects he had gathered into the room. "So how was today for ya? Learned anything helpful?" he asked.

"It's rare to learn anything helpful on the days we go into town. More often than not, it just leaves everyone with further questions." Sai starts on the bowl, finding it palatable enough. It's not as if it's foul tasting, which would me much worse if this was all anyone else was getting to eat all day. He had no problem at least handing over his dinner to his roommate each night if he wasn't going to be allowed to share his other meals.

At least they hadn't been left there to fend for themselves while the citizens transformed into undead abominations this time. "The main difference was that the staff was only putting up appearances for the townspeople, though it seems insulting to their intelligence to assume they wouldn't notice any difference." Then again, they might be so thoroughly brainwashed that it hardly mattered. Why put on a show in the first place?

"Being able to make purchases, no matter how small, was nice. What about yourself?"

With another fork of food stuffed in his mouth, Sechs could only gruffly grunt and nod to Sai's reply as he chewed away.

"The townspeople there are kinda like the nurses we used to have here..." Sechs remarked once his mouth was clear enough to speak, "You can't really tell if they're just that stupid or they're really part of the whole thing!" Leaning his elbow on the desk and resting his cheek upon his hand, Sechs angrily pondered to himself before adding, "In my opinion, if they're those zombies we dealt with a couple of weeks ago, I'd say they're just as brainless during the day as their nighttime counterparts!"

A soft snort escaped Sechs' nostrils, the sound of his rude exhale a mix of agreement and disgruntlement. "Yeah, I guess... If it weren't for certain store owners being jackasses about me trying to buy useful stuff..." Sechs replied, "Can't even buy a harmless soldering kit from the hardware store without getting chased out ( ... )

So much of this was under Landel's jurisdiction, or the jurisdiction of whoever was in charge of Landel, that Sai was hardly surprised by the way any human outside the patient body acted toward them. They turned into zombies, after all, then apparently reverted back to normal if these weren't different townspeople entirely. Their reactions stopped becoming relevant after that. They couldn't be relied on ( ... )
