Night 60: M-B Block Hallway
[From here.]For some reason, it was a lot harder to be on board with this idea of searching through the basement when Landel was the one who was sitting on his throne, wherever it was, and laughing at them as he watched them struggle through. Guy knew that it was the only real clue that they had and they couldn't back down just because of that, but

Loki paused at the corner to listen, just to make certain that nothing overly interesting was happening ahead. He'd been warned constantly, after all, about the dangers of the place. Such a short distance from his room, nothing. He wasn't going to let that interfere with his caution, however. It was new territory.
Keeping his steps light, he made his way to the exit for the block.

Harvey wasn't usually the sort of person to feel nervous, and even now he wouldn't call it that. It wasn't the dark, empty hallway that had him tense and jumpy, but rather the fact that he was about to throw himself into something that could lead to even more death.
Granted, it didn't seem all that severe when it had been made clear that you would just bounce back afterward, but that didn't mean that he was curious to know what it felt like.
He wasn't scared of death, necessarily. He'd thought about that option more than a few times since Rachel's death, even. But he didn't want to go out like this. He needed to take care of some things first, and he wasn't going to let Landel wipe him out before he got the chance.
Not for the first time he wondered what the others would think if they knew. Granted, it was a moot point, seeing how he never intended on letting them find out. Shoulders squared, Harvey exited the block.

Zero almost half expected to run into a corpse again when he stepped out into the block hallway. But no, this area was empty tonight save for one or two other prisoners moving through. Everything really was back to normal.
... Well...not normal, exactly, nothing was ever 'normal' in this place. Just less...surprising than the previous night. Then again, this was only the first hallway on his trip tonight. He'd continue to keep his guard up just in case.
With nothing new or unexpected to note in here, the once-Reploid kept up a brisk pace and moved on to the next hallway.

At this point, they'd gone through the motions of meeting together so many times that it felt all too routine to Claude at this point. Not that he didn't enjoy spending time with Guy and Anise, of course, but these days he sorely wished it was under better circumstances. Having been recently reminded of the disaster that met them in the coliseum, he couldn't help but feel anxious about the challenges that awaited them. They'd nearly lost Anise the last time they'd walked through a doorway in the caverns. What would happen if they kept pressing their luck?
On the other hand, Claude still remembered how aimless and lost he'd felt once he'd had a little time to process what had happened to them in the basement. If they couldn't go underneath the building to get out, where else could they go in order to escape Martin Landel's clutches? How else were they going to break free from the endlessly repeating cycle that kept them waking up in the same beds everyday ( ... )

He still couldn't get over that huge doll she'd rode last night, though. That she'd been able to control something like that still impressed him. It was just a damn shame that they hadn't had access to their powers in the caverns. They likely wouldn't ever again while they were trapped in this building. Not as long as Landel had anything to say about it, at least. Besides, whatever went wrong, he doubted the people in charge were dumb enough to make the same mistake twice.
Still, it'd probably be useful for showing that skeleton a thing or two. Then again, if he was already dead, did he even fear things like that?
Okay, no, he didn't want to think too hard on that one. Instead, he gave a decisive nod and tightened his grip on his sword. "Ready if you are."

And they were going to have to put themselves into a similar amount of danger (or worse) tonight. Guy couldn't help letting out a sigh at the thought, but it didn't stop him from leading them both out into the hall.

Body pressed against the wall, Woody slowly made his way through the dark, his flashlight beam lighting the way. Although the coast was clear so far, he knew he couldn't always count on that. No signs of weird, shimmery pink stuff, not to mention dead things, or...blood. Woody gave an audible gulp at the memory, and he reminded himself that he wouldn't be alone with such morbid thoughts soon.
Still, as he cautiously crept through the area, he couldn't help but think of Buzz. Was he still sleeping? While Woody felt like maybe it was for the best that his friend stay out of danger, some of the comments he'd read on the bulletin board still freaked him out. Maybe he needed to just find Buzz's roommate and talk to him personally about what had happened to his buddy.
In the meantime, he just hoped he'd have some good news to give when Buzz finally decided to wake up.
