Nightshift 24: Second M Block, Near the bathrooms and exit

It wasn't a long way to go before he wound up at the doors leading out of the cellblock. Kimbley couldn't quite remember what room Wesker said he was in - not that it mattered - but he knew it would still be a while. The doors had just unlocked; he wasn't expecting anything, or anyone, else to show up and recognize him for a

Haku looked around the area. He could hear people starting to leave their rooms and he briefly wondered what they had planned for the evening. He also wondered about the fight Recluse and that other man were supposed to have. He had no doubt that Recluse would show up, he seemed the honorable sort (as well as appearing to want to kill the other), but he wasn't sure about 'John'.

It wasn't his concern anyway.

Ginji noticed that there were some people already in the hallway when he entered it. He was in a hurry but he couldn't just ignore them. His flashlight caught one that was probably a few years younger than him.

"Hi," he said with a quiet voice. "I'm Ginji. Where are you heading? I'm heading to the other M Block. Maybe we can walk together for a bit?" It wasn't that he was saying that the kid needed protection, he just had learned it was always better to have someone to watch your back. If the kid was heading somewhere else, then no harm done by introducing himself.

Haku blinked and then turned around to face this new person, a warm, friendly smile on his face. "Hi Ginji," he said. "I'm Haku. It's nice to meet you." Haku bowed slightly, then took a moment to appear somewhat lost and confused. "I'm trying to get to the other M block as well, so, I guess going together would be a good idea..." He looked a little apprihensive, while in truth he was working out whether or not he could deal with this man should he prove to be a threat.

Ginji's smile grew wider. "Great!" he said, though he was sure to keep his voice still low. He started to move toward the door that lead out of the block. "I have to meet a friend in M34. He and I have been close since he woke up here together. At least we can walk together and watch out for each other until then, yeah?" He looked at Haku and seemed to notice in the dim light the marks on the boy's face. "Oh no, what happened?" They looked new enough that they either happened right before the boy got here or after he had. It depended on if he was one of the ones who woke up today. "Did the staff here hurt you?" He looked honestly concerned despite the fact that he had just met Haku.

If Haku were the type of person to show his emotions easily, he would have been staring in open-mouthed shock at the older boy in front of him. This... Ginji had not only turned his back on an unknown person, but was also giving information?

There were only two explainations Haku could think of. One: This Ginji person was strong and knew he could take Haku out with no problems. Or two: Ginji was ... naive.

He followed along, still smiling and then looking confused at the question. "Oh, these?" Haku smiled brightly. "On my first night here," he began, "two nurses tried to remove my eye. It looked a lot worse then." He brought up a hand and laughed softly. "I told them I was still using it."

Ginji looked disturbed by the idea of such a thing happening. He shook his head and turned to move again. "This place is horrible," he said. "I'm going to stop them from hurting people like they do. I have to."

He meant every word that he said... if only he knew how to do it though.

Haku followed along. That cinched it. Ginji was naieve. Or... perhaps not naieve more like.... innocent? Did that work?

Whatever it was, Haku followed along in silence, keep his ears open for danger. Ginji already had his flashlight out, so he could also see as they walked.

[repolarization]

Ginji grew silent as they walked. He knew better than to make too much nose, even his footsteps were quiet.

They made it to the doorway. He glanced at Haku for a moment before stepping through to the next hallway.
