And there went the pleasant atmosphere within a matter of seconds. Klavier hadn't really been paying attention to the time at all. He figured when it was time to go back, the nurses would corral everyone together as usual. Instead Klavier glanced up from his playing in time to see the store not full of patients or citizens or even workers closing

Hm. That was an awfully nice pair of earrings as well. Too red and feminine for his tastes, of course, but Grell looked as though he were in need of good cheer. Those also went straight into his sleeves.

It was strange how absolutely horrified Grell appeared. Luxord felt perfectly fine, but he was incapable of being frightened. Were the sight of those monsters all that horrid? It could not have been as bad as the smell.

With a sigh, the Gambler calmly took his date by the hand, pulled him closer, then pushed over a nearby shelf to block off a few of those undead... no, they were pirates, this time, though they did bring back nice memories. Undead townfolk, perhaps? Ah well. The point was, X carefully began leading his date though the aisles, occasionally making sure nothing was pursuing them from behind, and eventually managed to return to the entrance. Whatever had been there seemed to have moved outside (or had moved deeper into the store) and, while it was obvious there were greater numbers of those undead outside, they'd need to move on in order to find someplace safe.

"Let's go, shall we?"
