NIGHTSHIFT 35: M1-M10 HALLWAY

[cnflctofintrst]

Mello did not have high expectations for the evening.

If the previous night had been any indication, they'd get about thirty feet before Near's obsessive observation habits ruined any hope of beating the time curve, but without the bulletin to find a new group he had no choice to repeat the effort.

Normally, he waited several minutes to set out into

While Sora didn't know what it was that Kairi had planned for them to do tonight (if anything), he got the feeling it wouldn't involve the radio, and so he didn't bother grabbing it. She would take hers if she wanted. As usual, just a flashlight would do Sora fine. Granted, his Keyblade hadn't been enough to defeat that monster last night, but that had been a strange case. He wasn't about to give up on it just because it hadn't done the job once

They hadn't exactly had a chance to officially make plans, what with being split up in town and all, but Angel figured it was safe to assume by now that meeting in Willow's room would be done by default.

Had Willow told Spike about that? They must've talked after he'd left. Though he couldn't decide whether he wanted Spike to show up or not. On the one hand, he'd probably be driven mad, but on the other...well, who the hell knew what kind of trouble Spike would make if he ran off on his own?

God. Maybe now wasn't the time to think about this. He needed to eat something. That would have to come first. And a hunt would thankfully keep his mind off things.

Yuuri glanced up towards the ceiling as the Head Doctor made his announcement. What were the CM-US Experimental Trials and Special Counselling? He didn't like the tone of voice from the man on the other side either. It sounded to him like the Head Doctor had a split personality or something.

Sighing, the young Maou brought his legs up onto the mattress and folded them beneath him. Crossing his arms over his chest, Yuuri haphazardly glanced over towards the door. Wolfram had told him to wait here until the blonde came, but he felt useless just sitting here and doing nothing.

He'd give Wolfram five minutes before he went searching for the blonde Mazoku instead.

[whirlingwinds]

Naruto hadn't liked the tone of the man, either. It felt off, but then again, everything here just gave him the creeps. The nurses, the smiles, everything. He glanced at his roommate, who was curled up on himself on his bed.

He looked at the door as well, knowing he'd find Jiraiya where he had the previous night. He hoped this shift would go better than the last, although it hadn't exactly been bad in the "awful monster encounters" way, as it should have been. He'd just hated to have it interrupted that way.

Naruto got up, paced for a few seconds, before speaking to Yuuri.

"Um...I'm gonna go out, will you be okay?" He didn't know how this roommate thing was supposed to be like; he'd never shared a room with anyone, yet alone a stranger he barely knew. But Yuuri seemed nice, and Naruto wasn't going to just ignore him. They all needed as many friends as they could get, here.

[mazoku_king]

Wolfram was late, and he wasn't certain what was keeping the blonde Mazoku. Glancing over towards Naruto as his roommate moved about, Yuuri smiled brightly as he nodded his head.

"Mmm!" He announced cheerfully before a look of concern passed over his features. "You'll be alright? You're not going out alone, are you?"

[whirlingwinds]

Naruto grinned, waving a hand.

"Nah, don't worry, I'm meeting up with someone," he said. He expected to find Jiraiya where he had last night, and if not...he'd go to his room. They would be better off in pairs than on their own.

"Good luck with tonight, though," he finished, a little more serious than when he'd started speaking. He knew they'd probably need it.

He grabbed his flashlight from under his pillow, heading for the door.

"I'll see you around, then?"

Upon reaching Ion's room, Anise wondered for a moment if it was really necessary for her to announce herself like she always did. After all, with this being a nightly routine, it should be easy for Ion to guess it was his Guardian at the door. But she supposed it was safer for him to know for sure before opening the door, so she went through with the rest of the routine with as much enthusiasm as always.

Knocking loudly, she announced, "It's me! Are you ready?" Ion usually needed a little extra time to prepare, but that was fine. Anise could be a very patient person, although perhaps just for some people more than others.

Anise greeted the Fon Master with a bright smile of her own, then briefly took on a contemplative look as she considered their options for the night. "Hmm. I'm not sure yet," she admitted, "but I bet we can start by reporting to the Colonel. He might want his key back, too." She wasn't sure if he would want it now that it was pretty much worthless, but it seemed like the proper thing to do. She wasn't even sure if he would be in his room, either, but if not, they could just leave the key and transcripts on his desk.

With a more casual grin, she asked, "How was the trip today?" As a whole, it definitely turned out better than Anise had hoped. A field trip that didn't end in monster ambushes was a relatively good trip no matter what happened in town, but she was still pretty curious about Ion's experience, especially since it was his first time seeing what Earth was like outside the institute.

Hanatarou was slower to get started than his roommate, since he really didn't have a reason to hurry. He supposed he could stop by Hitsugaya-taichou's room, like he'd suggested to Sora, but really wasn't certain that he wanted to put the captain through that again. All he'd done the night before was slow the group down, after all - it made him wonder a little if all the talk about monsters and such had just been exaggerated.

If he was really going to be helpful, though, what he needed were actual medical supplies. The pillowcase stuffed with a sheet and a couple of shirts wasn't really anything close to his healer's pack, and Hanatarou just didn't feel like a proper healer without proper bandages and whatnot.

Not that...well, he knew where to find such things, but this was supposed to be a hospital, right? They should be somewhere.

And so the healer gathered up the aforementioned pillowcase and his light, and set off into the halls.
