"Good evening all! This is your favourite team leader Elisa with another public service announcement!"

Through the halls of the facility the bubbly scientist's voice echoed through the intercom, interrupting conversations and the introspection of those alone.  There was a pause but faintly in the background the sound of some pop music could be heard. Clearly Elisa was not one to make entirely professional announcements.

"And so, after your successful first round of sessions, the kitchen area has now become properly available to you in the cafeteria!  For tonight you can prepare your own food from the resources provided and the various appliances and equipment inside is at your disposal."  Those near the cafeteria would hear the distinctive sound of something unlocking and the clunky sound of metal security shutters rising.

"Oh, and one last thing.  If you wish to order your food, rather than prepare it yourself, there's a board in the kitchen area with your names all written on it.  Please write what you'd like to eat next to your name for the appropriate meal and we will do our darnest to get it ready for you!  That will be from tomorrow morning though so please see to your own provision for tonight.  Later on we'll announce lights out so don't wait around too late!"

A click, a long beep, and the sound cut out.

[color=6ecff6]"Well, that was more eventful a swim than I had hoped for."[/color] Having showered to wash the chlorine water off of him, Arthur was drying his hair while muttering to himself.  He had been planning to relax and clear his mind to plan a long term plan to gather information about the organisation running this place but now his mind felt just as jumbled as before.  

The not-drowning girl had been the first interruption while the second act in the meddling of his be-by-myself time had been the near-fight between the three young women.  He hoped he had diffused the situation sufficiently, although he had excused himself at the earliest possible opportunity so ultimately it could have gone either way and he would never have known.

[i]Not really my problem though, in all honesty.  Maybe everyone getting their frustration out, even if its on each other, might help in the long run.[/i]

A quick change and Arthur was ready to leave the pool area.  The announcement was a timely reminder that, thus far, he had only eaten a bag of crisps since coming to this place.  Even before considering hydration, it was important to replenish one's blood sugar after blood was taken even if it was just measures and not an entire blood donation.  Not to mention he had worked up quite a hunger after his swim.

[color=6ecff6]"I suppose I'll go and see what they've got then."[/color] With no real plan, or particular dish in mind, Arthur left the pool area and nearly bumped into the redheaded girl from the Near-Battle-of-the-Pool such was his preoccupation with the thought of a good dinner, or what a good dinner might be under the circumstances.

[color=6ecff6]"Ah, hello again.  Comment allez-vous?  Ah, sorry, I noticed your accent earlier although my French is... shall we say about as fluent as your average professional footballer is in his native language?"[/color]  It occurred to Arthur that this young lady may not get the reference, such was the hate certain cultural groups in Britain had for the footballing profession that was unlikely to be matched in other nations. Aware that he was entering the dangerous territory that was waffling on a tangent, Arthur forced himself to bring up something a little more relevant.

[color=6ecff6]"In any case, I was considering the wisdom in following the advice of our overly-excited Chief Scientist and scouting out the supplies in the kitchen area.  Might you be, per chance, thinking of doing the same?  Oh, and, where are my manners?  My name's Arthur, I'm not sure I ever got around to properly introducing myself earlier."[/color]
