Mental Heavy Lifting
Who: Mia OT Phoenix
When: Night, June 4th
Where: Green Block
What: Mia wakes up and it's about time to bring people back.
Mia was actually really tired when she finally finished sending her vacationers away. Moving people through time and space was hard work even for a girl who could bend reality to her will. So she went back to her room and curled up on her side, little eyes shutting and the girl slept the clock around. Twenty-four hours straight, nothing but sleep. It was nearly the middle of the night on the Fourth when she opened her eyes again and looked at the world.
Truthfully, she was still tired, but the body could only take so much sleep before it started requiring other things like food. The girl was hungry, but it was night time, the cell doors were locked. Blinking at the offending object, she had a moment of confusion. Time was still an idea she had a hard time grasping. She could sort of deal with it when things happened at a specific time, like the lockdown bell. She knew that one. Now it was the middle of the night, nothing to tell her what time it was. As far as she knew, it was daytime but too early for the doors to be unlocked.
With a humming sound, she rubbed her forehead. “Hungry,” she muttered. Then she put her hand against the door, feeling the lock give way under her gentle insistence.
There was a guard standing at the end of the hall. He wasn’t surprised to see her, though he did kinda make a shooing motion with his hands. “Go back to bed, Mia, it’s the middle of the night.”
“Nooo,” she drew the word out in a childish fashion. “Hungry,” then she put her fingers in her mouth.
“If you go back in your room, I’ll find you some food, okay?” There were a few mutants a guard could bargain with. Mia was one of them because she was normally out of her mind. “You do that for me?”
It got the fairly normal numb blinking Mia gave to people she didn’t know well. Nodding, she accepted the deal. Once she was back in her room, he radioed for assistance.
“Need a relock on Illusion’s cell. And I’m breaking early. Apparently little girl is hungry, so off to find us both a snack.” He moved from his post, a little surprised at seeing Mia at all. She hadn’t been around much over the last few days if he remembered correctly. But at least the big scary guy wasn’t with her. That bastard always gave him the heebie-jeebies. “And you might want to let Phoenix know that Illusion’s schedule is apparently off for some reason.” There was food kept around for guards and mutants who earned treats; Illusion got treats because keeping her happy was one of the things that Green Block guards figured out really quick. Keeping her happy kept things from becoming extremely uncomfortable for all involved.
While he was deciding what would be good for Illusion, the call was put in to Phoenix letting her know about the oddness going on. It was her block to handle after all, he just worked there.
