Nightshift 27: F14

Luckily for Anise, the institution's widespread blackout struck seconds after she had completed her little sewing project. The bad news was that her flashlight was--to her knowledge--still lying around on the floor of some laboratory on the second floor. She hadn't thought anything of leaving it at the time, but she now found herself regretting it

When Anise came over with the maps, Guy took them with a smile, careful to make sure his hand didn't brush against hers. "Thanks a lot, Anise," he said as he folded the pieces of paper and tucked them under his arm. He would look them over later and compare notes with Okita when he got the chance. Having them would make his life a lot easier.

Guy had already been aware of how little artes did in this place, though that wasn't as much of a concern for him as it was for some of the others. A sword still would have been preferable to a bat, but he nonetheless breathed a mental sigh of relief when Jade delivered one to Luke. It was good to know that his friend would be armed now.

He was willing to leave the matter of Asch to Luke - while that could lead to disaster, Guy knew that Luke could handle the God-General better than he could. As for Peony's mention of Dist, Guy was glad to hear that he was making himself scarce. He figured Dist wasn't too much of a threat here since he wouldn't be able to create any amazing fontech machines to fight for him.

"Guess we should all get going then, huh?" Though from the sound of it, he was going to be sticking around here with Tear to explain things.

So she wasn't the only one having problems. It was almost a relief to hear, but at the same time it meant they would have to be more careful. They wouldn't be able to afford any slip ups or acts of carelessness with their artes weakened. And at this point; Tear wasn't even sure if she could use any of her minor artes. But then, if her hymns didn't work then probably not much else did either.

Weapons? Well, Tear kind of had a weapon. Did pens count? They were sharp, easy to throw and kind of deadly. Well, if someone received enough ink poisoning they would be. No, they probably weren't the best of weapons but it wasn't as if she could find any better sharp objects around the area. It was probably too dangerous to ask anyone to go out of their way for her to find any either. For now, it would have to do. She'd just be sure to find something the next day. Hopefully, that is.

"Yes, I think that would be best." Tear said as she stood and gave a small nod at the idea of going. Everything seemed cleared up, after all. Guy could explain things on the way, there was no need to stand still and chat. It would probably be of more use to be moving anyways. They probably had a lot of ground to cover for the rest of the night.
