Nightshift 24 - 2nd Floor; Female Nurse Prep Area

[dancingdagger]

Penelo worried that there might be an unwelcomed guest lurking in the darkness, especially since the door was (sort of) locked. But to her relief, there wasn't one immediately present

Kazuo poked around, looking to see if the unifroms had pockets. "A leftover syringe would be handy," he said. "See if there are any in the pockets."

He found, in a cabinet nearby, some bandages, and quickly pulled them out, offering some to Penelo. "Here," he added. "These might come in handy. Always good to have if you're hurt."

He continued to search. "I'm surprised. We haven't been attacked. I was attacked twice last night. It's strange."

[dancingdagger]

"Right," Penelo nodded, rifling through the pockets. Unfortunately, it seemed that the nurses had been mindful to remove all harmful objects out of their pockets before retiring for the day, and Penelo's search came up empty handed except for some white pieces of paper that looked like candy wrappers and pocket lint.

Kazuo was a bit more successful, and Penelo gratefully took some bandages. It wasn't a complete loss, at the very least. Maybe they just picked the wrong place to go. Or perhaps the really good things were in those firmly locked rooms. Penelo wondered if they should try kicking those down next.

"Thanks," She smiled, stashing the bandages in her pocket. She looked up in mild surprise when Kazuo mentioned their luck so far.

"Yeah... but don't jinx us. I think we're doing really well if we've come this far and dodged the monsters."

"Just in the mood for some excitement," Kazuo replied. He pocketed the bandages and said, "I don't see much else here. Those locked doors out there...where do you think they leave the keys?"

[dancingdagger]

Excitement?! If that was his idea of excitement... Penelo knew they'd have to fight inevitably, but she wanted to avoid it for as long as possible. Especially since they had nothing but flashlights and martial arts to defend themselves with.

"I guess they carry the keys with them..." Penelo frowned, noting how empty the pockets of the uniforms were. "Well, maybe they're in another room, but I guess it's nowhere near here."

Where did they keep the keys? Did the doors even truly have keys, or were the locks meant to be picked or broken?

[devils_tactics]

"Huh." Kazuo finished looking through the uniforms. "Well, there's nothing else here, and those other rooms' locks are too strong to kick through. Should we try another hall? I don't even know what time it is..."

Kazuo wadded up the bandages and stuck them into the waistband of his pants along with the electrical cord. Not a marvelous haul, but at least it was something.

Kazuo had a point; for all Penelo knew, it was almost morning. This place really had a strange way with time, as the days seemed to go by so fast but the nights stretched on forever. In a way, Penelo could see how it would work out for the patients, but she wished it was the opposite.

Still, they were still around, so they might as well explore some more.

"Yeah. Maybe we should just keep going and see what else we'll stumble upon," Penelo agreed. It looked like they had raided this hall of everything that was useful.

[devils_tactics]

"All right," Kazuo agreed. "How about that next hall over, at the end? It's as good a place to start as any."

[dancingdagger]

That seemed reasonable. Actually, Penelo thought she and Kazuo were doing well for a first try at finding things while having no idea where they were going.

"Sounds good to me. Let's get going!"
