Night 59: Main Hallway 2-Center (Includes Sun Room halls)

[Coming from here.]Upstairs was dark and silent, although to Daemon, the faint pink glow that coated all the surfaces since the alarm went off seemed more concentrated here. Was it stronger, perhaps? Or was there just more to hide? He brushed his fingers against it curiously as he stepped out of the stairwell and into the corridor above, his senses

Classy aptly describe that escape, more so for the fact that she'd pulled his wrist along without stopping to consider how open Claude was to this type of 'moseying'. Or the smoke. In the end, he simply bore the effects with a blank expression, pausing outside the door to laugh and cough simultaneously. "Yeah," he exclaimed heartily between spasms, "our friends sure love us now!"

A proclamation further emphasized by the blood in one of the corridors. The man narrowed his eyes as the coughs died, surveying the damage with practiced scrutiny. The smell alone pointed to the byproducts of monsters, not sentient beings, hardly good signs for two rebels in military attire. Leaving without alerting the patients' ire would be ideal; however--

...However, Lydia had to suggest the most inane idea he had ever heard in his entire life. Claude frowned at the woman, mind flitting between the consequences of jumping two stories. Very inane, but very accepting by his standards. "Set everything on fire, right," he answered, tone bordering too close to excitement. "I can work with that."

Claude had a point, of course. Running off without answering many questions and leaving a cloud of smoke for the patients to deal with wasn't exactly the best way to earn their trust or approval. Lydia didn't have the luxury for any of that, though. She could only hope that they would feel some sympathy toward her for what she'd been forced to deal with while under Landel's thumb.

While it did seem like the major (was that truly a rank he had earned? Even she wasn't sure) was unsure of how practical her idea was for a moment, it didn't take him too long to agree. He was going to have to be the literal firepower for them, seeing how she had a gun and little else.

At one point she'd been granted a device that allowed her to walk the halls without being seen by anyone, but that had been when her brainwashing had been at its worst and Landel had trusted her to accomplish tasks for him. She'd lost it some time ago, so that meant doing this the hard way.

As they reached the bloodiest part of the hall, Lydia worked her way through it as best she could, taking a right toward the next area.
