Night 54: M61-M70 Hallway
While Guy's conversation with Okita had been both interesting and enlightening in a number of ways, the man also knew that all of their talk was only that until they saw for themselves how this new management operated. There was a lot that could change now that they had soldiers, sergeants, officers, and even a general deciding their fate. He got the feeling that they were going to learn a lot more about their reason for being here. The military didn't usually sugarcoat things the way Landel always had.
It made him wonder why it was that the Head Doctor had seen a need to treat them the way he had, leaving everything as a mystery and putting on an act during the day. Had it just been his personal style, or had there been a point to it? Maybe he'd only had the clearance to tell them certain things, if it was really true that he was ranked lower than this general.
Either way, Guy knew that for the moment he had an obligation to the people he was traveling with at night, so he had to focus on that. He was careful to take in the message given by IRIS, noting that there was still some ambiguity involved; though the following announcement was far more attention-catching.
The voice was hard and yet unassuming, to the point and confident in its own way. It was also a voice he'd never heard, and yet it clearly didn't belong to the general, either. They weren't given the courtesy of an introduction; just a warning. Still, Guy had already figured that this night was going to be an interesting one, so that wasn't about to stop him.
As he went to open the closet where his sword had been stored, however, he was shocked to see that there was something there he hadn't ever expected to find here. Guy had often wondered why it was that so many people around him had gotten their outfits from home while he'd continually been stuck with just the uniform, but that had just changed.
He took a second or two to just stare at the clothes. It'd been so long since he'd actually worn them that they were definitely a sight for sore eyes, and he broke out into a smile without meaning to. Grabbing the vest, shirt, and leggings off of the hanger, he also picked up his boots and accessories and then turned to face his roommate.
"Look what I found," he said as he moved over to his bed and immediately started to change out of the Landel's uniform. He wasn't shy to start with and he'd been sharing this room long enough that he didn't mind if the other man saw him out of his clothes. "They're from home."
As excited as he was, he was even more interested in going to meet Anise, Tear, and Claude so that they could give their reactions as well. And having his own clothes back left him feeling even more invigorated to get over that wall and find something. Not willing to be deterred by what the voice over the intercom had said, Guy made sure to grab his sword, flashlight, and radio once he was dressed.
"I have to head out now, though. Have a safe night, all right?" Nodding to Okita, Guy then exited the room and started down the hall with the familiar sound of his well-loved boots hitting the floor with each step.
