Nightshift 28: Main Hallway, 1-Center

Allen struggled to keep Sanji from falling over as they walked further into the institute. The halls were so dark without the portable lanterns, it was difficult to see much going on in front of them. He didn't like it, but there wasn't much he could do about it for the time being.

"Whatever is close I guess," Allen replied to Sanji ( Read more... )

Artemis practically stomped down the hallway, not caring to look back to see if anyone was following him. He would be perfectly content to stay in his room and beat at the walls with his desk chair at this point. He was so angry. Words probably couldn't describe how frustrated Artemis had become--with everything. With the institute, with his situation, with all the people he'd met. Everyone was always saying 'no'. He didn't answer to 'no'. At home, when he spoke, people listened. When he told his colleagues to trust him, they did. They knew. They understood. Why couldn't anyone in this hellhole realize that he was a fucking genius? Why did everyone have to treat him like he was a goddamn kid?! He'd done plenty to prove otherwise!

He needed to hit something. Or play Minesweeper with Beethoven's 5th turned all the way up.

Hokuto couldn't miss how angry Artemis was, but letting him lead the way alone still wasn't the greatest idea. She ran to catch up but then simply kept pace; she was here to protect him, not lecture.

So he was furious about being treated like a child? No matter how smart you are, kiddo, you're still the youngest one here. "Nobody here likes admitting weakness," she finally said. She doubted he'd meant to, but saying Momo wasn't their best line of defense had apparently touched a nerve with the shinigami. What Hokuto didn't say was that she was sure Artemis didn't like admitting anything either; he seemed used to people listening to him, but this wasn't home and to be blunt, he hadn't proved himself yet. Worse, in a combat situation he really couldn't do much.

She was wondering about the company he kept, to say the least, but while this wasn't the time... what was Farfarello? He looked human, but something about the look in his eye... said otherwise. Sei-chan's eyes went cold sometimes, but not like that. And she wasn't sure she ( ... )

Momo was well over a hundred years old. She could see a child's temper tantrum coming a mile away. She was unphased when Artemis exploded on her. Her eyes softened just enough to convey to the boy that she did understand his tirade. Unfortunately, when it came to battle, even moreso Hitsugaya now, she didn't care what Artemis' pride said. She stood her ground and kept her silence until the boy was done and had stomped off. He'd get over it once he calmed down. Probably ( ... )

Farfarello grinned at Artemis' back, but kept his amusement largely to himself. Artemis really was like a kitten, all hiss and bared claws, and never mind that he could be snapped like a twig if Farfarello took it into his head to do so. Fortunately for Artemis, Farfarello had no such intention.

Turning his attention to Momo, he chuckled softly and commented, "I'm sure the captain here will be completely confused to find out I carried him to safety. He doesn't like me much." Based on third-hand rumours and ignorance, from what Schuldig had said, but Farfarello very much doubted that knowing him better would change matters. He hated 99.9% of the population and the feeling was typically mutual, all of which was fine by him.

Artemis snorted derisively, "Believe me Miss Sumeragi--" He turned the corner.
