Nightshift 37: M51-M60 Hallway

[high_prosecutor]

The conversation with Mikami had left Edgeworth with a lot of food for thought. He was glad that he'd agreed to work with the History Club that night, rather than going along with Mello up to the patient possessions room and the file rooms. While it was true that it could very possibly get his suit dirty, well, he was hoping to avoid that as much

Dinner. Such an unfair word. It was all Aidou could do to keep from baring his teeth at the intercom each time it came on. Sleep studies? He was sick of these games.

Once Kaito had entered their little box for dinner, it wasn't as though the vampire would be sinking back into sleep. His dinner was walking around and shovelling chicken into his mouth. A locked door, and one unsuspecting human... 'Dinner' was practically free for the taking, for a wounded, ravenous vampire.

Torture had many definitions.

Whatever went through Aidou's head that night--as he sat silently, watching Kaito almost constantly--it didn't change the fact that he held himself in check without wavering. No, no he couldn't attack the boy, no matter how provoking the roommate situation was. When the doors unlocked and he let Kaito leave for the night, it felt like Aidou could finally breathe. Less to do with his healing chest wound

Yahiko touched the number plate on the first door to see which order the numbers would go in, then counted down to the door that should have been Kenshin's. He gave it a couple good knocks, then waited for the rurouni's voice to call him in.

At his pace, it didn't take long for Sanosuke to reach Kenshin's hall. He slowed down a bit then, his eyes having started to adjust to the darkness some, and Sano could just make out a figure standing in front of M55. Only one guy that could be, and Sano grinned.

"Nice to know you didn't get lost." A hand in his pocket, Sanosuke walked up to Yahiko. "So you find out what the nurses call you and your room number like I told you to?"

Yahiko frowned at Sano's request, having forgotten the latter part of it. He'd taken note of the number on his door when the nurse directed him into it, but as for the name they called him, he drew a complete blank. "My room's number 46," he told him, "but the nurse didn't call me anything."

When Kenshin opened the door with a smile, he couldn't help grinning as well. "Nope." Yahiko stepped past Kenshin and stood in the center of the room, looking at the others expectantly. "So we're going outside?" That's what the bulletin said. Either way, he wanted to get started as soon as possible, partly because it was good to accomplish stuff but mostly because he was curious about these creatures Sano had talked about. Now that they were all together, there was no way they'd run into something they couldn't handle.

The conversation with Honey had left Sai thoughtful. When he left to head for Mello's room, he was only half focused on that particular task. Along with the usual items he brought with him at night, he grabbed his notebook. Tonight he'd be more productive, hopefully.

He wouldn't be there the whole night. He knew Mello had other plans and he had things he needed to get done himself. He'd have to get as much as he could done in the shortest amount of time.

M60

Sai seemed kind of distracted, but Honey was glad they'd been able to talk. He hoped he could help, even if it was just something small. Sai had been nice to him, if a little strange, from the very first day and he'd like to repay him somehow.

He waved goodbye when Sai left and went to gather his own things, opting to leave Usa-chan sitting on the bed tonight, and picking up his half of the walkie-talkie. He'd forgotten to mention them to anyone yet and they could probably wait until morning. All the same, they might be nice to have on hand, just in case. He tucked it on to his waistband and looked for anything else that might be useful. His flashlight, some pens, and that was really it. He'd worked with less, but it would have to do for now.

Peeking his head outside the door, he waited out in the hall, flashlight in hand as he anxiously waited for Takashi.

Mori made it with relative ease to his cousin's room like always. Getting to the place was easy since he did it every night. Coming up without making much noise, but enough to make sure Mitsukuni knew it was him, Mori stopped next to the shorter boy and head out the dessert.

Honey looked up the moment he heard Takashi coming, the sound of his footsteps familiar. The day had been busy and they'd separated them by age and gender and everything else so he hadn't even seen Takashi aside from here and there as he passed by.

He took the dessert, but paused before eating it, glancing up at his cousin. "Takashi," he started, looking only slightly worried. "You're not upset that I played with Sou-chan today, are you? He's really nice I think."

Playing with Soubi during the last shift had probably been the most enjoyable part of his day. After the first two angry people, then lunch, it'd been a nice pick up before dinner. He just hoped Takashi would understand. Usually there were few problems, neither even needed many words to know what the other was feeling or why, but it was always best to clear the air before things got complicated.

Kaito and Aidou hadn't spoken before Kaito set out for the night's work. He considered seeing about unscrewing the pole in his closet for Kudou's use (partially for safety and partially to appear more trustworthy by arming the detective), but decided against it; their mission could lead to procuring a pipe for the detective's use, but without knowing how to properly wield it, Kudou would be no better off than Kaito.

He set out carrying only his pillowcase-wrapped syringes in his coat pocket, carrying an extra. Hattori was meant to meet with Homura tonight, and he could deliver the extra to the History Club leader.

[Skipping to here]

Well all right, it was finally time to see if his little experiment was going to work! Xigbar had gotten kinda sore in the ear from all the "GO TO YOUR ROOM" lines of the previous night, and now he was going to see if there was something screwy going on with that. Just like any good scientist, he needed a research subject... and if he was right, then that meant he'd have to obtain one the old-fashioned way.

Armed with his freaking arsenal, Xigbar very nearly skipped down the hallway, certain that this time he was going to get what he wanted. Those nurses were going down.

((To here.))

[numberii]

((Back from here.))

Yeah... real triumphant return, right? Xigbar ran down the hallway, stumbling a little as he rounded the corner. He had to assume that the nurse was still following after him, and... well, if that was true, then he'd either be a-okay or in a world of hurt in a few minutes. At least it'd answer the research question he still had... if the nurse was still there.

Xigbar slumped against the wall, narrowing his one eye and straining his ears to remain alert for the nurse's presence.

[numberii]

A few long moments passed, and all Xigbar heard was the pounding in his ears and the rasping of his own breath. No approaching nurses. No monsters. Well, that was aggravating, but he'd deal. More to the point, if they were turning away, then that left him an opportunity to counter-attack. This? This was not a moment to waste.

((Back to hear, stealthily!))
