Night 58: F21-30 Hallway

Sep 07, 2011 12:24

Normally, the lack of an intercom post would have registered as slightly ominous to Erika, at the very least. However, she was glad that there wasn't one, because it allowed her to focus on something else strange that was happening. Something else very strange... It was a feeling that she couldn't put her finger on, so she naturally came to the ( Read more... )

No new messages tonight. No threats, no bargain, nothing. The Code 1-8 had set of warning signals in Aigis' mind, but when there was nothing to follow up that ominous report she had let the matter fall out of her mind. If danger was to come, it would not be in their room at least.

Aigis has done her best to remain quiet during dinner. Ema still slept on in a feverish sleep, so it was best to not disturb her. Instead, Aigis used a page from her journal to write a short note ("Ema-san, if you wake up I will likely already be gone for the night. Please eat some of your dinner so as to regain your strength, and do be safe tonight. -Aigis") and placed it on her desktop, under her plush Schrodinger to catch Ema's attention. That done, Aigis then retrieved her claws from her own box, as well as Minato's Evoker. All of these she placed in her pockets, then she took up her dimming flashlight and proceeded out the door as quietly as possible ( ... )

hi aigis /breathes..... witchdetective September 7 2011, 21:12:12 UTC
It was quite surprising for Erika to find out that she did know who she was meeting tonight. A door opened and the former detective hardly had time to turn her head before noticing someone walk up before her, and once she was able to make out the other person's form, she realized that this woman was recognizable. To be specific, this was the woman whom she approached some time ago when she was investigating the nightly blackouts. Erika still hadn't really formed a proper theory for that, and now, she didn't have to. For all of eternity ( ... )

hello erika-san /....... blinks no_dont_go September 7 2011, 21:43:34 UTC
Aigis wondered if her question had been unnecessary after all. This girl seemed restless. All thoughts concerning the other's well-being fled, however, when she held out yet another Evoker. This time it was Yukari's for sure. And Aigis had returned it to her so recently, only to receive it again. Two Evokers. She did not need two, but she was not going to let the Evoker fall into obscurity either ( ... )

how are you on this lovely night... /eyebrow waggle witchdetective September 8 2011, 02:40:57 UTC
Whatever the object was, it was clear to anyone that it was a very important item to the girl, who held it close to her chest. Erika only rose a brow at this act of affection, wondering why it was so treasured to this girl. Either it was something she wanted or Yukari was a very important person to this girl. And then the girl attempted to offer an explanation on why the object was so important and what it was. Though she was clear... well, needless to say, Erika didn't quite get it. The urge to ask more, to tear apart this girl's strange explanation and expose the truth of the matter came, but it passed just as quickly when Erika looked back at the gun, and then to the ground ( ... )

If she could help then Aigis would do all in her power for someone that had gifted her a momento of her dear friend. She nodded, knowing that releasing another from pain would perhaps bring her a pain all her own, but that was manageable. If it would help Erika sleep, she would do it. Aigis doubted she would ever be able to rest peacefully again, now that she no longer retained any of her original allies in this place ( ... )

While most would have been disturbed by the sight of Aigis raising the gun to her head, Erika simply watched her with an almost curious look. Of course, she already knew that the gun was fake, so there was no reason for her to get alarmed. Even if it wasn't, it was such a bizarre action to take for one who just offered to help her that Erika really couldn't do anything but watch. What exactly was she planning to do with that fake toy ( ... )

"Are you certain you will be alright?" Erika was certainly not as healthful as Aigis wished, and if anything, she seemed almost a little unsteady on her feet after the spell. But little more could be done for her wounds. Athena was not greatly proficient at healing as it was, and Aigis didn't think she would be able to summon her here much more tonight. If she ran into a monster, or someone else that needed healing, it could turn into a dire situation ( ... )

baaaaw w;A;w but baby... witchdetective September 18 2011, 22:25:11 UTC
Erika continued to glance at the girl warily, but she couldn't say anything else. That knowledge she gained, it was still something that Erika couldn't speak freely about. It wasn't like anything was stopping her, but there was no point in stating a fact and saying "because I said so". Even if she was no longer the detective of this board, it was still her worthless pride as a first-rate detective that kept her from sharing. A shame, because it would have been an appropriate amount of thanks for treating Erika to a flashy, but useless light show ( ... )

it is junpei's typical approach to the matter. was it unsuiting to your tastes? no_dont_go September 19 2011, 08:39:38 UTC
"And you have a good night as well, Erika-san." Aigis executed a polite bow then turned to leave.

She hoped Erika really would keep her offer in mind in case she ever needed a healing touch. Her wounds were likely still tender, but Erika would know her own body best. And Aigis would not pursue the subject unless encouraged. She had no qualms leaving the other girl to her own devices when it seemed she was likely going to just return to her room for rest.

Aigis walked on wooden legs away from the the girl and moved towards the next hallway. Like the night before, she moved without really considering her next goal. She just needed to focus on something other than her loss of an ally, and putting one foot in front of the other was as good a focal process as any.

yes. a mere magazine cannot satisfy my loneliness....... witchdetective September 20 2011, 02:05:54 UTC
Since she still had no desire to return to her room, Erika merely watched Aigis disappear into the darkness before deciding... that she would follow suit. Depending on what sort of drug she had been given, this may very well be her last night on this board. Which meant this was her last night "existing". Perhaps it was best to go out immersing herself in something interesting. That device... She would look for it. Erika already knew that the chances of finding it were astronomically low, achievable only with the blessings of the Master who had abandoned her, but it didn't hurt to set a goal for herself.

That sounded like a good idea, until there was a crackle of an announcement. The intercom? Erika listened, and the more she listened, the more everything seemed to click in her mind. Her face twisted, first in confusion and then in anger.

Suddenly, she had other plans.

[ and she's heading off to here ]
