Nightshift 21: M11-M20 Hallway
After a fairly uneventful day, Mal decided (once he'd eaten some of his dinner) to take a nap before night officially started. He was a light sleeper and knew that the intercom would wake him up. He probably should have gotten rest during one of the boring shifts (and it would have helped to get his mind off of the way this institute was ordering him around), but hindsight was 20/20.
The long rantings of the head doctor weren't pleasant to wake up to, but at least it kept him from wasting the entire night in bed. He pushed himself up from his mattress, gave his head a few rough shakes to help with the waking up process, and then stood with a yawn.
The rude awakening meant he couldn't remember if he'd had any dreams, but it wasn't important. Whatever was going on in his dreams would probably be better than his current reality, so it was most likely for the best that he didn't remember.
Pulling on his slippers and grabbing his flashlight, he rubbed the last bit of gunk out of his eyes and then exited his room into the hallway. The plan was to get over to the female block so that he could find Kaylee and Inara and River and... whoever else happened to show up. He wished they could have had some clearer communication over the bulletin board, but there wasn't much that could be done about that now.
