Nightshift 24: F1-F10 Hallway
(starting at the end of the hall in F10)At the strange cryptic message that came over the intercom and the quiet click of the locks coming undone, Max exchanged a glance with her roommate and slipped towards the door. She didn't bother with trying to find a makeshift weapon, she could handle herself well enough without one, but she'd tucked the

"We'll meet Artemis at room M47," She told Raven, while looking at the map she had sketched out. It didn't seem far. Yet she remained nervous, comforted only by the face that she wasn't alone and the Head Doctor didn't have anything to say to add to her nerves.

She stepped outside, closing the door quietly behind herself and started along it towards the main corridor. Her ears perked up as she overheard someone mentioning 'Artermis' and the room that she'd been directed to over the bulletin. There had been a girl, hadn't there? Namine?
She approached the two girls casually, trying to make herself as non-threatening as she could. "Ne, would one of you be Namine by any chance? I'm Matsumoto Rangiku."

Whether she liked it or not, roaming the halls at night, alone, wasn't very recommendable. She didn’t know if Naminé could defend herself, but at least she was smart enough to know when to run away.
Then, after leaving the room, they were joined by another wo-
Good god. How could she walk around and not fall over herself?
"She is." Raven said, pointing to her roommate

"Yes, I'm Naminé," She confirmed. "Are you the Vice Captain Artemis and I were supposed to meet?"

She nodded in reply to Namine's question. "That's me. Renji asked me to come with you."

While Sora had been intending to head straight for Kairi's room, he was distracted by the fact that Naminé and Rangiku were in the hallway. He hadn't spoken to Naminé in ages, for one thing, and he actually had some news he felt she should know about...
She had been the one who had told him about what had happened in Castle Oblivion, after all. Well, her and Axel.
She probably had her own plans, as did he, so he would be quick. It would be nice to talk to her again, nevertheless.
"Hey, Naminé," he said with a grin as he approached the group of three, nodding to Rangiku and regarding the girl he didn't know with a friendly smile. "You've probably got stuff to do, and I've gotta meet Kairi, but I wanted to say hi and also tell you something..."

"Aha!" Haruhi said, a smug look on her face as she came up to Raven, "I knew I'd find you here!" She hadn't really, but she had been hoping on it. That got her a long way, sometimes.
"Oh, and Naminé!" she said, noticing the other girl. "And two people I don't know."
Most people would probably introduce their companion, but Haruhi left that for Utena to do instead. Instead, she went into another question session. "Where are you going? Have you seen any monsters yet?" Even Haruhi doubted they would have seen anything this early into the night, but it didn't hurt to ask.

They should've moved faster.
Much faster.
She also couldn't help but notice how Haruhi remembered Naminé's name, but not hers. In any case, might as well answer her questions... Oh great, she was beginning already.
"I'm going wherever Naminé and Rangiku go. And we've only left our rooms, so no monsters yet.

Utena hadn't expected Haruhi to run off so very EAGERLY, and, so, was a bit slow in catching up. She approached the group cautiously, not wanting to seem insistant on her inclusion, but determined to follow her new roommate.
She stood just behind, and to the side, of Haruhi, clearly able to see over the other girl's shoulder. She gave an understated wave to the group, not wanting to interrupt their conversation. It wasn't that she was shy or anything... more, just polite. Mostly.
Utena gave the group a quick once-over, and was disappointed to not recognize anyone. The short girl - Namine, was her name? - was adorable, though... and the boy's hair seemed like it could be used as a weapon, such was its spikiness. And then there was the woman, the only one among them to look like an adult, with her...
...Utena then did her absolute best NOT to finish that thought. Blushing in front of people she had just met might be a bit... odd. Besides, she might end up staring...

Since Raven had (curtly) answered Haruhi's questions, Naminé just nodded along.
"What is it, Sora?" Naminé wondered if this was good news. He didn't seem too upset, but Sora really never was one to get upset over anything.
Reply
She smiled at Sora and returned his nod. At least she could sount on him to speak quickly, she hoped. He had to meet Renji after all. She stepped aside to give Namine and Sora a little privacy, ushering the other girls to one side as well.
"The monsters come out when they feel like it, not to a schedule," she said dryly. "You'd be best served keeping quiet so they don't decide you'd make a good snack."

It wasn't that he had anything against the people who had just approached - he didn't even know them. But they were on a cramped schedule, and he wanted to get the word across quickly so he could go get Kairi.
"I haven't seen either of them, but... Apparently both Rikus are here." It was still strange to think that there were two of them, but having met the replica, it wasn't like he could deny his existence.
Reply
She pointedly ignored the 'snack' comment. She still intended to see one, regardless. "Man, I really wanted to see a monster tonight. Two days, and all I've seen is a dead one..." Haruhi lost her train of thought when she finally looked--really looked--at the woman.
"Oh!" she exclaimed suddenly, looking at the woman's chest, "You have really nice ones!" Sure, the woman didn't have that cute face like Mikuru did, but she was definitely bigger! It was the perfect turn-on. Haruhi gave her major points for that.
Reply
"Why don't you go and find one yourself? Probably won't see one if you just stand here with the rest of us." An attempt to get rid of Haruhi? No, of course not.
Why wouldn’t they want someone so tactless and monster-obsessed around?
Then again...
Raven did wonder what such a large... bust, did to Rangiku's sense of balance.
Reply
Understandably distracted. What was less understandable was why, god why, she would shout out admiration for Rangiku's chest. Utena found herself embarassed simply by association, her expression displaying clearly that she was taken aback by Haruhi's outburst.
The introduction would have to wait, as Utena wasn't quite certain how to follow that.
