Nightshift 24: First M Block Bathroom

[i_slay_giants]

(from hereThe nice thing about wearing so many layers, Jack realized, was that it made for plenty of wraps and tourniquets. Slipping into the the empty bathroom afforded him the chance to wash out the wounds and the blood from his skin. That wasn't to say it did HURT when the water beat down on his injuries (the broken collar bone and chest slice

It was a good thing he hadn't needed to go really badly, with all of this chit-chatting trying to explain what a bathroom was. Pushing the door open, his flashlight tucked under his spare arm, he glanced around the room before making a beeline to the end of the room where urinals waited, hoping that Yuber was following and that he'd be germaine to holding Usopp's basket for a moment. Usopp thought he could manage one-handed if he had to, but didn't want to risk getting his new supplies wet.

Keeping the door open as he entered in after Usopp, the knight found himself peering into the room he’d briefly glanced in previously. This was hardly a bathroom by his knowledge, for there didn’t seem to be any form of bathtub in the area at all. All he saw instead were a few rather interesting wall designs and small booths which appeared to allow single humans to enter into.

Curious yes… but Yuber would hardly call this room anything remotely close to interesting.

“Where the humans decide to relieve themselves is hardly a matter I burden myself with.” Yuber murmured as he stood just inside the door area. There was a subtle click to his right as the door closed back into place, but it went unnoticed by the knight as he folded his arms over his chest. “Such inconveniences are not something I need to worry myself over.”

Usopp glanced back over his shoulder at Yuber standing by the wall, then shrugged and put his basket gingerly on the ground, a safe yard or so from the urinals themselves. "You can't tell me you don't pee. If you drink, you have to pee, and if you don't drink--" He wasn't sure what the end of that thought was, but he was sure that Chopper could give a good medical diagnosis.

At any rate, he wasn't shy about pulling his pants down enough to begin the business at hand.

[face_of_chaos]

“I have no need to indulge in such human limitations.” The knight casually explained. A slender brow slowly began to rise up at his companion’s words. As Yuber watched the basket be set well aside, along with the beginning of Usopp’s pants being undone, the knight began wondering if their version of this urinal business was to simply relieve themselves on a wall. It was something he wouldn’t have classed as a better alternative to the humans from his own realm.

Finding his gaze drawing over towards the stalls, Yuber found his attentions drifting in curiosity at what exactly lay beyond those walls. Unfolding his arms he didn’t bother with Usopp’s apparent version of a hygienic way to relieve the human body, and instead found himself moving over to the stall closest to him.

The first place with a bathroom open was the first M-block, a place where she had not stepped foot yet but knew the way to. Stepping inside, it seemed like no one was there; this was a good thing, as Amaterasu felt too drained to be her usual cheerful self.

Speaking of which... when she trooped right over to the mirrors, feeling an instinctive connection with them however muted... she stared at her reflection, the great goddess gazing at herself in disbelief. The markings of her divinity were there, albeit dull and faded, but her face was still so alien, so unlike herself. How odd, that a goddess of humanity would feel so odd in a human's body, but... it was like a shepherd wearing a sheep's body, but orders of magnitude more severe.

A hand still cold from the melted ice dagger traced along her delicate cheek bones, a frown appearing on her face. How strange this all was...

[akarusa]

"Amaterasu-sama? You okay?" Hokuto leaned over to look at her, wondering what was going on. Was she just lost in thought, or sad about something?

Of course... they were all trapped here against their will, and it was a good guess that the goddess could do far less than she was accustomed to. She supposed that would lead to depression... their situations were nothing alike, but Hokuto couldn't help but think she knew how Amaterasu felt.

She spared a glance at the rest of the room; just a normal bathroom. A men's bathroom, but there wasn't anything special about it that she could see. Well, maybe one of them had hidden something in here, or they were supposed to meet someone; if that was the case, she wondered if it was okay that she was here. She looked at Nel, hoping for a hint about why they were in here.

[runed]

"A shield," Nel murmured to Hokuto in reply, voice as calming as ever. The Aquarian could easily see the sadness in Amaterasu's eyes, and as such she sought to act in as calming a manner as possible. Morale was low, and Nel couldn't help but want to raise it. She had never been the 'cheerleader' type when she traveled in groups - that position had usually been filled by Farleen, or, later, Sophia.

But Nel knew, as she always did, that she could do some good. One didn't have to be peppy and energetic to turn a mood around.

So she walked to Amaterasu's side, and placed a hand on her shoulder, in a quiet gesture that said I'm here, even though she didn't say it outright. The message would be communicated.

[divineglutton]

As always, the heart of a goddess could be stirred by the faith of a human.

The great goddess glanced at Nel when she felt that hand on her slender shoulder, and a small smile finally creased her face. Like the sun peering over the horizon, so did her face slowly brighten as she reached up to squeeze Nel's hand. Nothing needed to be said; Amaterasu could feel the desire of Nel's heart, and it warmed the goddess like a fire in the depths of winter.

So when she turned to Hokuto, her voice was entirely sincere. "Yes, I'm fine now."

Naruto led Lee to the same bathroom he had taken Gaara to after they got injured a few nights back, except this time it wasn't empty. He blinked upon opening the door, still gripping Lee to help him walk, a little bit bewildered by the sight of a small gaggle of girls.

Not that it was really a big deal. This place was insane, it wasn't like the same rules applied about men's and women's restrooms. Any viable place to escape from the crazy farm was open to all the patients.

So he continued over to an unused sink, chest heaving a small amount. They were dripping a lot of blood behind them. He released Lee once they made it, and gripped the sink with both hands, staining white with red and taking a moment to catch his breath.

Lee kept silent as they made their way into the bathroom. He too blinked as they entered and saw several females. Well, nightshift did known no bounds, so he supposed it wasn't surprising. Though the fact that they were holding broken glass did disturb him a little. It was a good idea, he supposed, but considering they state they were in

[tte_bayo]

Lee's touch surprised Naruto, though he was gentle, but he refused to wince at the fiery ache that spread through his arm. They would have to endure this pain - as shinobi he knew there were times in the past that they'd both been more tired, more hurt than this

[youthfulrocklee]

Lee watched as Naruto's reaction. He could tell that the other shinobi was distraught from what happened, and Lee could not blame him. This was a great blow to their training, realizing how weak they were here. Nonetheless, they had to stay strong, if not for themselves, then for their friends.

Carefully, at Naruto's prompting, Lee slowly made his way to sit against the wall. Moving downwards was unpleasant, to say the least, and he hissed at the cold contact.

"Do not make light of your own injuries, Naruto. Even the smallest of wounds can cause problems."
