Night 50: Cafeteria
[from here]
The dark of the cafeteria took enough time to adjust to against the light and colour of what had occurred in the Sun Room that for a moment Lunge only waited by the door, too cautious to move any further into the room without being fully prepared. It seemed unlikely that two ‘guardians’ would be placed in such close proximity to each other, but it had also seemed unlikely that he would suddenly find himself at the mercy of a language barrier.
What had happened? The sudden change in the head doctor’s language indicated that it was his actions that were at the route of the problem- but then that left the case of whether or not it had been the overall plan or simply a side effect of the “sloppy implementation”. If the former, there was still potentially a side effect to endure. If the latter… well. What else could possibly go wrong?
He breathed out slowly. “Who else is here?” he asked the darkness next to him, nearer the doorway- then, remembering that most of what he had heard had been English, racked his brains for an English alternative that the rest of them could understand. He could trust L to understand him, but... “Hello?” Close enough.
