Night 57: M-B Block Hallway

Some nights, he really did wish something would happen on his way to the men's room. Something big. Something spectacular. Something like an impromptu jazz band with instruments filched from the music room and patients that could actually play real music. Or perhaps he could find a phoenix down. Maybe someone could graffiti up the

Exiting out into the hall, Guy was glad to see that Claude had already made it. They had their timing more or less synced up by now, so neither of them ever had to wait long for the other to show. He lifted the hand holding his flashlight in a half-wave as he moved over, though he made sure to keep his sword held carefully at his side, seeing how he hadn't had the time to work on that sheath yet.

He had just seen his friend a bit earlier, but he didn't want to think about that movie that they'd watched any more than they already had. They had other things to worry about, and while they were working on their own escape, that didn't mean it had to mirror what they had watched on that screen. They could make their own way.

"Hey," he greeted, glancing around and finding that the hallway was still mainly empty. "So should we just wait for Anise in the hall through there?" he asked with a nod to the door that would take them out of the block. That was how they had been meeting up as of late, but he didn't know if they might be taking a different route to the basement tonight. He didn't really care how they got there, so long as they did.

"Hi," he said with a smile. Even though they'd just talked to each other a couple shifts ago, Claude was always glad to see Guy. Running into friends at any given moment meant they were safe, and he couldn't afford to take that for granted these days. There was no telling when he'd get another letter from a friend he'd seen only a few days ago.

"Yeah, about that..." Claude rubbed the back of his head and glanced toward the door. "Actually, I have something I need to take care of in the women's block, so I asked Anise if we could meet around there." He felt bad about changing the routine, but he figured it would probably be better for Anise since he was up in that neck of the woods anyway.

"Sorry I didn't get around to posting a bulletin note about it," he added. Hopefully Guy was okay with that. Once he acknowledged the plan, then they could move out pretty fast.

Something he needed to take care of? While Guy was sure that Claude would explain on the way, this was the first that he'd heard of it. Not that he minded; for all he knew, this could have been last minute for Claude. "Sure, that's fine," he replied with a smile. "I guess we'd better hurry, then." Heading over there was going to cut into their time, even if it meant they could meet up with Anise once they got there.

Wanting to get going, Guy kept his questions to himself for the moment, deciding to wait until they were on the way before he started up a conversation. Instead he just led them out into the hall.
