Nightshift 24: Cafeteria

[dancingdagger]

[from here]The chaos from the Sun Room slowly faded into the background as Larsa dragged Penelo into the Cafeteria. While this was a wise choice, Penelo couldn't believe it. They had left Protoman and Gabranth behind

He was carrying an awful lot in those two baskets, the frying pans aside--and he was glad that he'd be heading back to his room to unload some of it soon. He'd resigned himself to a 'stay,' or at least that he wouldn't be escaping tonight... from the sounds of things, this place was a lot more complicated than any simple insane asylum, which probably meant that he'd have to figure out who was behind it and beat them up (or, with luck, Luffy and the others would catch up with him and he could point Luffy in the right direction to do the beating up) before he'd be able to leave.

Nonetheless, he was in high spirits still and went back to humming as he followed behind Yuber's back to re-enter the cafeteria. He remained blissfully unaware of the 'patient' hiding behind one of the tables in the room. The flashlight had also been tucked into one of the baskets, although turned on... granting a small but ill-directed path of light for their feet, to avoid tripping.

(( Coming in from here))Scanning his attention over the room, Yuber sensed the presence of another in the area as they kept themselves hidden. He remained unmoving as Yuber assessed the level of danger they could represent, but found himself relaxing his guard a moment later. They were of little threat to either of them if he could sense them so easily, and with that the black knight turned his attention back onto his companion

Chaos? That was funny, he sure looked like a human. But Usopp was willing to give his cool companion the benefit of the doubt--especially after that 'twenty seven who guard the realm' comment. It was probably some honorary title... and it'd still explain why the guy seemed so keen on asking if Usopp was chaotic.

Which he was, of course. Chaotic like crazy"Yeah, I thought we could leave them in my room." Unlike Zoro, Usopp had a pretty strong sense of direction, and was fairly sure he could find his way back to the room... although it meant tiptoeing through the Sun Room again, now that he thought of it

It seemed to be a logical place to store Usopp’s spoils to be stashed. The matter of fact though was that creature his companion spoke of, the one he’d witnessed in the other room before taking his leave into the cafeteria. He doubted that there would be enough attention given to cause a panic, and yet the desire to cause disorder remained strong inside of him.

Glancing back towards his companion, Yuber’s mismatched gaze trailed over Usopp’s figure, and it was in that moment that the knight had made his decision. Granted the battle which could occur in the Sun Room would be refreshing, he had allied himself with this human for now, and to some extent, Yuber would respect their decisions. Besides after Usopp’s burden was lifted, there was still the opportunity to seek out more Chaos.

“Then we shall attempt a different route.” The knight eventually replied with, as his hand lifted up to point towards the doors leading to the courtyard.

"That sounds good!" Usopp nodded his head with manly firmness. "After all, the pirate in me can't stand being indoors for too long at a time anyhow!" Especially not when indoors was so dang creepy. And there was a chance he'd find a route of escape outdoors--a low chance, but Usopp'd leave his ally behind to wreak chaos as he liked alone if it meant Usopp got to find his crewmates again.

Sauntering over towards the doors, he carefully stepped out, taking a deep breath of the nice, fresh air. Along with the scent of--what was that?

[heading like a complete moron over to this]

Following after Usopp, Yuber found his attentions straying over towards the doors leading to the outside. There was a feeling deep inside of the knight, one which caused Yuber’s brows to crease in thought as he attempted to put a name to the rare feeling.

There was certainly something on the air, something Chaotic lurking about, but it left Yuber wondering if it was a reaction to the apparent danger in the Sun Room, or if there was something else they had yet to run into? Either way though, Yuber said nothing as he trailed behind Usopp, and instead found himself curious to know exactly what it was that was causing his guard to rise.

"Lemme lead. I'll handle this. I fought him before! He won't dare face me again." Usopp declared, having lost his stutter quite a bit the further he got from the Courtyard door. "Just follow me and don't worry."

(( re-entering from here))

There was a small moment of curiosity which flared up at Usopp’s sudden bout into bravery, Yuber noted as he calmly walked back into the cafeteria. From what little he did witness from the previous fight, that particular creature had been up against a number of opponents. He had witnessed many times how creatures had been overwhelmed in battle due to such circumstances.

He didn’t say anything in response though, and instead followed along silently behind his companion.
