At the start of the night, things had been looking up. Zack turned out to be pretty chill, and Badou figured they might end up being good friends after all. It was a nice change from his first roommate, especially since it looked like they'd be rooming together for a while. They'd both been here long enough that they could take care of themselves, and Zack seemed to be hefting a sword that must weigh as much as Badou's entire body. Not a bad person to be friendly with. Maybe his luck was starting to change.
His optimism lasted a whole ten seconds into the start of night. He didn't have a clue what 'code red' meant, or what had triggered it, but he was on his feet soon after Zack, hands clamped over his ears. Whatever it was, it didn't sound good.
"It's never code Rainbow Poptart Kittens or something..." He was pretty sure the alarm drowned out his voice but he might not have been too far off the mark. Most of the room seemed to be covered in a weird pink sheen. If only it was just emergency makeover time. He glanced at Zack, who was already rearing to go. Interesting was a word for it.
"Oh good, I was gettin' bored." He offered dryly, returning the salute with an airy wave. "Good luck."
It would have been smarter to stay in tonight, probably, but he still had to make sure Alle was alright despite whatever this was. A distant part of him knew he was worrying too much. People sleeping in now and again wasn't the end of the world but... He just had to know.
He grabbed his own flashlight and stepped out into the hall soon after his roommate whereupon his boot was immediately smeared with guts and the contents of something's lower intestine. "Oh yeah. This is gonna be a fun night."
