Nightshift 33: M61 - M70 Hallway

[rappigs]

The beginning of nightshift, mmm? What a strange and funny thing had happened. It wasn't like normal Landel's nights by any stroke of the imagination; indeed, the radios and the intercom were playing this time. How fancy! It was like three voices talking at once, once from the wall and twice from the two radios in Peony's and Siegfried's room

Even though Guy knew that whatever was going on over the intercom (and the radios?) was a big deal, he was too focused on what had just happened to his roommate (or rather, what was about to happen to him) to really pay attention

Peony had been ready with some sort of quip on how times changed, or how there might be rappigs in grazing fields if they could get outside, or something like that, but the sudden announcement, coming from a rushed Gailardia, caught him entirely by surprise. He'd never quite come so close to something like this, a roommate getting taken or some similar thing.

"No sweat," Peony said, smiling as if completely unshaken by the entire ordeal. He didn't even really skip a beat. He'd probably do the same if Siggy had any friends that he knew about, after all. Maybe. He wasn't even sure he knew where to go in case of something like that. But these guys probably did, if his servant was acting so businessy.

"Here. You do that - but I got an idea. Why don't you go tell his buddies and meet me in the hallway right before the Sun Room? I'll be there with Haseo," he said. Hey, this way things would work out just perfect!

Guy almost found it hard to believe that Peony still wouldn't take things seriously even in this case, but it wasn't like the older man knew Okita. Maybe he just didn't understand the severity of the situation -- he hadn't heard about Luke, after all.

It wasn't like he had the time to think about it, though. At least Peony was able to respond quickly and work out a good plan that accounted for this little hiccup. Getting to the Sun Room wouldn't be hard, and he could only hope he didn't keep the emperor and his friend waiting for too long.

"Got it! I'll be there." He couldn't delay for any longer, so without another word he started down the hallway, yelling back a quick apology for having to leave so quickly. At least he was fast. Not as fast as he should have been, probably, but it was something.

Well, that was good. Peony knew he could count on Guy, of course! Now there was no doubt in his mind that they'd be able to make it to the basement tonight. Unless, of course, there was a monster somewhere or other. That would be unfortunate, but also kind of cool. He liked collecting the battle scars, but he also really, really wanted to make it to the basement
