Nightshift 24: hallway between doctor's offices and medwing

[sasuke_of_sound]

[[from here]]Sasuke had recognized the first hallway as the one leading to the doctor's offices and considered following it to the end -- he'd spotted a door during the day. In the end, he'd decided to go on. He might as well reach the end of the main hall

Sai followed, wondering the whole way if they weren't headed for some sort of trap. After all, what was the point of letting the patients out at night like this? And they all seemed to be out, if the voices and flashlight beams he saw occasionally were any indication.

He kept any more questions to himself for now, simply hoping that things would become more clear as they progressed.

The hall was quiet and grew warmer as they reached the door, which was strange enough that Sasuke was extremely cautious as he opened it, nearly hefting his sword to attack position.

[[into the Greenhouse]]

[[and now they're back from outer space the Greenhouse]]

Sasuke took a slow, deep breath of the dry air as they stepped out of the door to the greenhouse. The hall was as quiet as it had been when they'd first come through, which was probably a relatively sure sign that there would be few patients in the corresponding hall upstairs.

Signalling that they were turning left and towards the stairs, Sasuke headed the steps.

[[to here]]

[From here.]

Cliff only had to nudge the door open. It looked like the people from earlier had used the emptier hallway to access the greenhouse. This one had no doors or windows. He started down, keeping an eye out for exits.

Kurama didn't mind the odd looks that the others gave him when he returned. There were no questions asked, so he had no reason to explain his actions.

Following Cliff into the hallway, Kurama frowned. This didn't bode well. The hallway was leading thing right back in the direction of that creature.

Ken looked about cautiously as he followed Kurama and Cliff, keeping toward the wall out of habit. It wasn't a particularly long hallway, hopefully it wouldn't take too long for them to get through it.

Though without any side rooms or hallways to escape to, it would be fairly easy to be trapped in here. Hopefully nothing like that would happen.

Yohji brought up the rear reluctantly, turning every so often to make sure nothing was following them. The last thing they needed was to get attacked from behind just because he'd not been doing his job properly. He needed to make up for what had happened earlier.

He kinda' wished he'd brought his torch now. This corridor seemed darker than the last one.

[coming around the corner from here with Yuber and Kazuo]

"Sure, sorry." Usopp began walking faster to keep up with Yuber--he was kind of eager to stay on the move too, even though he was distracted a bit by the appearance of his roommate. He glanced back over his shoulder at Kazuo as he walked to continue the conversation, trusting Yuber ahead of him to lead for now.

"Let's see... I got two frying pans, some flour, some chili powder, and some other stuff. And the baskets." Usopp hefted the one on his arm to demonstrate. "I used one to make a slingshot and the other's just for carrying right now. I don't have too much ammunition on me, though."

And the spoons, that stupid gift... what was the point in that, anyway? Someone who could fight a demon off alone like that didn't need any spoons, no matter how sharp he made them. Stupid. Maybe they'd come in handy somehow anyway...

"Not a whole lot of stuff, really. The kitchen didn't have any real knives in it or anything."

[devils_tactics]

Hey, someone else who was interested in action, who might not run all the time. Good for him.

"Not bad," Kazuo commented to Usopp. He eyed the baskets and assessed what was in them. It was better than nothing. He also filed away the info about the kitchen; no point in going if there were no knives. He wasn't interested in fighting with chili powder.

Kazuo secured the knot on the electrical cord again, just to be sure, as they walked.

He didn’t bother himself with engaging in the conversation. Usopp was quite capable of explaining things without his aid, and if that had happened not to be the case, then it was simply a problem his ally would have to deal with.

There was a distinct scent of plants on the air the further they walked down the hallway. Were they coming close to another outside area? It was a plausible explanation considering that the cafeteria had lead out to some form of garden. If that were the case then would it lead them back to that single-minded creature? Even if it did Yuber doubted that it would be intelligent enough to be too much of a problem.

His lips curved up into the barest hint of a smirk while he made his way down the hallway, and through the doors at the end.
