Night 44: West Wing, Hall 2-A

[mizuhomaiden]

[from here]Sheena moved quickly down the hall, hoping that whatever was back in the previous hall didn't follow her. Still, she had to keep tabs on the state of her leg. It was healed, yes, but she could still feel the injury deep in the muscle tissue. Perhaps she would not run into another monster anytime soon

In light of things, Lunge decided as he ducked into the centre of the hallway, trapping himself in a hallway out of which there was no way to make a quick escape was less than sensible. Mentally bringing up his map, he swiftly re-mapped his course towards the second floor kitchen instead; he could find a knife and then head into the central hallway as quickly as he could. There was another flight of stairs to the east of the building he could use for a swift getaway, should the need arise.

Now. All he had to do was move up into the staff-only room and then back down into kitchen.

Sora stumbled out into the hallway, feeling as if he'd just made it out of some sort of death trap. It felt like he could breathe better now, trace bits of light were back (or it at least didn't feel like his night vision was even worse than usual), and there was no ominous feeling clinging to him anymore.

Oh, and his flashlight worked. Good thing, since he didn't exactly have a ton of batteries laying around.

The only problem was the strands of her he'd yanked along with him. He could definitely tell that that was what it was now, and he frowned in slight disgust (where had this stuff come from?) as he started to pick it off of him.

He held his breath as he waited for Tsubaki and Hokuto to make it through after him. If they weren't able to, then he was just going to have to go back and get them.

It looks like it’s working… What they cut down didn’t immediately regenerate, and that gave her hope. As she called her blade back, she turned to slash at more around her

"I'm never going to look at hair in the drain the same way again," Hokuto said, shuddering. That had definitely been frightening, but... it'd also been pretty gross.

When she'd managed to relax the slightest bit, she asked Tsubaki, "How did you do that? Actually... what did you do?" She recognized a scythe when she saw one, but keeping it in her hair? Or,less likely, forming it out of her hair? That was a new one even on her.

[scintillatingly]

Much to the boy's relief, both of his teammates managed to follow after him, if a bit winded and disconcerted (judging from the looks on their faces). Sora didn't know if they were out of the woods for sure, so he was eager to keep moving, but he knew that everyone needed a second or two to catch their breath.

Besides, there was the matter of what Tsubaki had done back there that they needed to address, and Sora was glad when Hokuto took the initiative in asking the other girl about it. He nodded to her to indicate that he was all right before sending her a questioning glance of his own.

He had to admit, he was really curious, and he did his best to hide that as he waited for her answer. He knew now wasn't really the best time to be asking her about what she could do, but it would be pretty weird to just leave that hanging, right?
