Nightshift 32: West Wing, South Hall 1-B

[From here.]For all the hype he heard up on the bulletin, Sync had to say he was somewhat disappointed with how dull these halls have been. Maybe these ‘monsters’ only attacked when there was less traffic around, but his guess was as good as anyone’s

Scar moved from one hallway into the next. These halls were always rather dull, though he couldn't decide whether to be glad with this little fact or not. From what he had seen, the nightly abominations that roamed around the facility were anything but pleasant to run into. Especially if now he were on his own.

Another dark hallway, but this time someone was in it. She continued to tip-toe, her skin almost blending into the walls-- an illusion shattered by the gray outfit (she tried, okay?). After seeing he was a normal man and wondering just why she started believing this whole 'monster' thing in the first place, Esmeralda walked up to him with a comforting smile.

"Hey," she whispered. "Do you know your way around here? I thought maybe you could help me look for the Music Room. Or at least point it out? I'm not so used to being shown around."

The fact that Scar noticed her presence wasn't only because of the grey shirt, but also because the feline happened to have a better vision that most of the patients around here. At least, so he had discovered last night. But then again, Mozenrath probably wasn't the best example of the human race he could ask for...

"The music room?" Scar echoed. Wasn't that the room he had spent his last shift in? It was located next to the Sun room, if memory served him well. The only question remained; would he help this female human?

He was looking for life bait company, wasn't he? At the very least, it was better than running through these halls alone.

"In fact, I do know the way to the music room." he said with a polite smile. "I suppose I could lead you there."

"That's awfully kind of you." And the smile she gave showed she appreciated it. It was a little hasty, but it was better than wandering alone.

Besides, if he got any ideas, she could take care of herself without something blunt. "I'm Esmeralda. And you are...?"

Scar could be kind if he wanted to, which was mostly when there was the possibility he could gain anything from it. Treating everyone like they were idiots (even though they were) hardly gained him any allies, and that happened to be the thing he was looking for tonight. And if he could by doing something as simple as pointing someone to the music room, why not?

"I am Scar." he answered. "A pleasure to meet you, Esmeralda." A strange name, he had to admit. But then again, it was common for these humans to have strange names.

He began heading into the direction of the Sun Room, assuming the human female would be smart enough to follow.
