Night 60: Front Desk (Medical Wing)

[believein0]

[From here.]

This place looked the same as it did three nights ago... Except this time they were the only prisoners here. No distracting traffic, more room to roam quietly, and as result, a better chance for them to hear if something unfriendly was trying to sneak up on them. Not to mention being the first ones here meant everything was undisturbed

So she didn't know... They'd be searching blindly, then. No problem. Zero was sure they'd find the right room somehow. This area couldn't be that large, right? He didn't remember it being too large the last time he'd been here, anyway. Then again, he'd only explored one or two hallways and ultimately hadn't gotten very far... But at least it was better than having no experience with this area at all.

Regardless...the sooner they headed off, the better. Just as he was about to say that, though, his companion suddenly had the need to investigate the nearby desk. At first the once-Reploid assumed she was looking for information or something else useful, but then he saw what she was actually getting into...a glass bowl filled with weird-looking sticks. Sticks that apparently were edible, whatever they were; the girl was pulling the paper off of one and shoving it in her mouth, and she obviously liked it.

...Liked it enough to go and abduct the entire bowl of sticks like it was nothing.

......O...kay then.

Yes, Zero was currently staring at the girl like she'd lost her mind. And who wouldn't? What the heck did she do that for, anyway? She wasn't expecting those sticks to help them find the drugs in some way, was she? And no, he was not about to start walking off without some sort of comment on Erika's sudden...kleptomania. Of edible sticks. (Seriously, what.)

"....Are you planning on throwing that at a monster?" he asked flatly, slightly raising an eyebrow.

Was it really that strange that she liked lollipops? Perhaps Zero was not a fan, but Erika supposed she could understand how one might find her priorities a little questionable. She shrugged and held the bowl out, deciding to cement their newfound partnership with a gesture of goodwill. That, and if this candy was drugged, she didn't want to be the only one going down with the ship, but she hardly suspected that would be the case.

"If you want one, all you have to do is say so," She replied cheekily, deciding to take this chance to move forward in the medical wing. This place looked like it was larger then she anticipated, and she knew she had to watch out for the presence of danger, so she certainly wasn't going to go too far. Or do anything foolish like be the first one to enter a room. Once she saw that the area beyond the desk was empty, for the most part, she slowly made her way past Zero and into the space beyond.
