Nightshift 30: M11-M20 Hallway
[Specifically M12]
"… Wait, really?" Axel asked, mainly to himself, as he listened to the intercom and the head doctor’s sudden confession. It hadn’t been long since he was escorted back to his room after his dinner, feeling rather content after spending a shift to himself. It was fun and all to chill with a couple of people beforehand, but a guy ( Read more... )

Quick movements were not in Homura's best interest in the moment, but the demi-god didn't have much choice. Speed was essential, especially when there was too little time to accomplish everything he needed. So he forced himself to move through the pain, to keep moving even when it was enough to make his stomach turn.
It almost felt like he was dying again.
Regardless, he changed into his night outfit, pleased to see his cloak returned undamaged to him. He left a copy of the first floor map on his desk, having circled the areas Hitsugaya mentioned. The battle would be extremely difficult, particularly with no healer present, but worth it if it accomplished what Homura hoped. Next to the map was a note, the instructions he'd promised:
Go to one of the stations circled, and try to break down the ( ... )

It took him a few minutes, but Junior finally reached M13. When he got there, though, Homura was already gone. From what he'd glimpsed on the board earlier, it also looked like most of the Club had been given their instructions already. He spotted a piece of paper on the desk, and went to go take a look.
"Try to break down the...group of nurses...what the?" Junior muttered to himself. He wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but was hoping that Okita would have an explanation when he got here. It sure would be a good way to find out what powers worked and what didn't, but he'd rather have a better weapon if he was supposed to be killing nurses in groups. And what was up with that? There were supposed to be monsters, not nurses, running around.
After hesitating for a moment, the redhead set the map back down and went to stand near the entrance of the room, waiting for Okita or anyone else who may show up.

The trip to Homura's room was thankfully short. He didn't want to waste any more time if he could avoid it. He was a little surprised to see the door already open though, and he brandished the sword warily as he approached.
A kid, a red haired kid, but the ex-god wasn't about to let that put him at ease. Just because someone looked young didn't mean that they were, and definitely didn't mean they weren't dangerous.
"Hey, you one of Homura's new recruits?" he asked, leaning against the door frame casually.

After a moment, the redhead nodded. "Yeah, more or less. Haven't gotten the chance to meet him, yet. The name's Junior. I talked to Okita earlier, and he invited me to come along tonight." He shrugged, gesturing around the room. "But it looks like our boss already left. Who're you?"

"Yeah, Okita seems to have a knack with finding people," the god said. "I'm Kenren Taisho. Nice to meet you."

Okita had said he didn't know what the plan was, and 'busy' covered it all too well. He still wondered why a group of nurses, or what he was gonna do about his own limits. Getting tossed into a fight without knowing them could end up being a very bad thing, but at least he wasn't going to be alone. Not to mention at least one of his allies had a sword, which would undoubtedly be helpful.

"Man, he doesn't ask for much, does he?" the General muttered. It had taken how many of them to take out one nurse on the buses the other night? Geesh. At least they had the advantage of a couple of weapons and more space to move, but he was expecting to have to deal with more of them this time.

"Hey, Kenren, maybe you could help me out," he said, going over to sit down on the bed. At the moment, he didn't really care that it was someone else's. They were probably gonna be moving around a lot more later, so he needed to rest. "I just got here today, and I was wondering...people mentioned monsters at night, but nothing about having to fight nurses. What's up with that as our instructions, then?"

Okita had just reached the area when he heard Kenren and Junior talking. Kenren rested easily against the door frame, but Junior's voice came from inside the room. Homura didn't appear to be present, but Okita smiled anyway. This group would be fun to play with tonight. Staying just out of sight, he eavesdropped on their conversation for a moment. Nurses? No wonder Homura had been secretive about their mission.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" he called out, running up as if he hadn't just been listening in. Stepping up next to Kenren, Okita adjusted his Shinsengumi uniform jacket and bowed to both men. Smiling apologetically, he said, "A bit of a party came to my room and delayed me. Is there anything I missed?"

He grinned when Okita slipped in, moving to let him pass. "Yeah. Homura is crazy," he said. "He wants us to lure the nurses out from the nurse station, take 'em out and, I assume, ransack the place."
He looked back over at Junior. "Some of them have needles sticking out of their skin and some have giant syringes for arms."

The redhead stared at Okita for a moment when he got there. Where had he found that? It looked kinda like the outfit that Jin had worn when he and chaos had first met him. Had to have been something from home...and that was exactly why Junior was curious. God, he missed his jacket. His jacket and holster belt...and, well, anything that wasn't gray with a yellow smiley. "Hey, Okita. Where the hell did you get that outfit?"

He turned and smirked at Okita, taking a closer look at the clothing that he now war. "I guess it depends who you're planning to trap with it," he said teasingly. It suited the other man, and he wasn't above appreciating an attractive guy when he got the chance.
He nodded at the other two, shifting into his soldier's mindset. "Let's head out then, if you're ready."
