Night 57: M1-10 Hallway
When the familiar crackle came on from overhead, Claire had paused, then continued about his business, sorting through the few possessions he had in his box and setting them into seemingly random positions on his desk, looking as listlessly bored as he'd been just prior to the announcement. But he was quiet, quite aware of what this Aguilar man was

He was probably overthinking things. He sort of wished he'd put Neku in his group, but he trusted his roommate to lead one himself. He could also hear from him about how capable Meekins was as a club member tomorrow, which would be helpful. The man certainly seemed eager to please, but it was always strange to recruit someone into his club without at least talking to them face-to-face first.
Still, he was sure things would go as smoothly as they could here. Or that's what he'd been hoping until the intercom came on and he realized that it was Aguilar himself that was talking to them. Sora paused while in the middle of changing into his complicated outfit to pay some attention.
It was good to have some clarification on the pins, but Sora didn't see why they should be striving to earn them. Even if they did get on the good side of the military, did that mean that they would get sent home? He doubted it. It was more likely that it would get them put in even more danger, right?
He wished Riku was around, since he would have been able to make better sense of it all. Testing drugs sounded like a pretty bad idea, though, and he hoped that none of the club members got tempted to try it. Even if it might lead to information, it probably wasn't worth the risk.
There wasn't much that Sora could do about it, though, and either way he had to hurry since he had a meeting scheduled with Minato's friend. All he'd be doing was handing over that weird gun that his roommate left behind, but it still meant that Kairi might actually beat him to the meeting point this time. The boy quickly finished changing and then got his items together, needing to use one of his pillowcases to carry everything. The gun was carefully put in first, followed by his radio and then the two gifts he had for Kairi: one of the coconuts and the small felt case that held her necklace. Once that was all done, he slung the pillowcase over his shoulder and turned to Neku with a smile.
"Thanks again for always being willing to help. Be careful, okay? I'll see you tomorrow!" He waved to the boy and then set off, knowing there was no time to waste.

The announcement sounded and Neku pulled on his phones, having already thrown his beret across the room in distaste, and gathered his pins and flashlight before heading to the door.
