As the day began drawing to a close, the intercom flickered to life. Instead of Harrington's voice, however, Berg's calm tone filtered through the speakers ( Read more... )

Finally. With the shift change, Rita was a little bit closer to getting to go out and get things done.

Since she hadn't eaten all day, the mage was eager to dig into the food stashed in her possessions box, but she decided to wait until Kairi joined her. The soldiers seemed to have a lot of rules regarding food, and she didn't want to have her only chance at a half-decent meal confiscated because her roommate's escort saw her eating it.

Instead, she sat down at her desk, pushed the gruel aside, and reviewed the notes in her journal, just for something to do. She hoped Kairi wouldn't be too long.

If Kairi was being truthful, she was somewhat sad to not be wandering around with Riku and Sora that night. She didn't like to be separate from them, but she knew it was for the best. She had her own things to do, and they had theirs, and that was that. It wasn't like they were going to leave her alone again -

Don't, Kairi thought to herself, shaking her head. She had buried those thoughts a long time ago. She didn't need to bring them back.

When she entered the room, Rita looked busy with something. Her soldier followed behind her, placing her tray of food down on her desk, giving her a nod of goodbye before leaving, shutting the door behind him. Kairi moved to sit at her desk, turning her head to look at Rita with a frown. "How are you feeling, Rita? Since last night, I mean ..."

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Kairi to join her. Once the soldier left, Rita closed her book. Not surprisingly, the first thing her roommate did was ask about the previous night. She'd looked pretty worried yesterday. It was hard for Rita to get used to being fretted over by someone she didn't know well, but...

"I'm fine," she answered simply as she pulled herself to her feet. She moved over to her bed and sat down next to her possessions box, where her stash of edible food was. "It doesn't sound like anyone else who took the drugs had any relapses yet, so I should be safe for now." Rita wasn't going to deny the possibility that there could be future relapses - it seemed more unlikely that such a dramatic transformation wouldn't have long-term effects - but she wasn't going to waste time worrying about it. It was best if Kairi didn't, either.
