Night 45: M-A Block Hallway

[whos_da_man]

[from here]Junpei found himself a spot not too far from the door leading out to the hallway. Seriously, if Yukari waned the damn Evoker, she needed to run her mini-skirted ass down here to get it since he wasn't going much farther. It was only fair since he'd trucked down to her block last night

Allen almost got turned the wrong direction in the hallway, but luckily, it wasn't too hard to figure out. He wondered if there was a map that he could get somewhere...

Addison walked out into the next hallway, shivering in the cool air. Or maybe it was just his nerves. He couldn't relax. Every movement was stiff and forced. He blamed his mind for it, which was assessing every detail, searching for something that disproved what he was seeing. He obsessed over the realism, and his lack of knowledge. He didn't even know where to begin looking for Sean. He had never listened to anyone's advice. He had never stopped to look at a map.

He found a wall to lean against while he tried to compose his thoughts. Taking deep breaths, he stared blankly at the floor. He was vulnerable like this. Something could attack him (no, there was nothing out there), and he imagined the monster as a bleeding, pale giant. Its long, pudgy arms reaching for him, and dragging behind it hundreds of poorly formed legs. It lurched and swayed as it moved towards him, but it didn't want to kill him. But of course, the hallway was empty of any such thing.

Addison pressed a hand over his mouth, but still made no

Shinji stepped out into the main corridor of his block, slippered feet padding softly over tile. He still couldn't seem to find any of the now-familiar nurses anywhere in the corridor. He sighed softly, glancing around. This place was just weird. It seemed so different from the day. Dark, enclosed. Almost claustrophobic at times. Not at all like the bright, clean corridors he'd been ushered through during the day. He shuddered, wrapping his arms around himself. He didn't like it here and he began contemplating returning to his room. At least there he could wrap the blankets over his head and try to sit until morning. Out here he felt vulnerable. Exposed. He swallowed nervously and glanced up and down. There were the other blocks of rooms and then the door out into the rest of the hospital.

Something was different here. It wasn't like other hospitals. Was this what that note on the bulletin board had meant? That things got scary at night? He tried to shrug it off, but his mouth felt dry and the urge to bolt built.

Addison's eyes caught a familiar silhouette moving towards the right, stepping out from behind the corner. He was almost too scared to think the name, but it had to be Sean. When he pushed away from the wall, he left behind all of those half-realized nightmares. Sean wasn't looking behind him where Addison stood, he was just taking soft, careful steps out of the other hallway. It had to be him. He couldn't see many details, but what he could make out was perfect.

Addison closed the distance between them quickly, but quietly. There was a threatening aura to this place, and he felt the need to stay hidden. So he skirted the wall, and planned to pull Sean back in close to the safety it provided. It wasn't until he was near enough to reach out and touch Sean's shoulder that he spoke.

"Sean!" he announced, feeling relieved and happy, despite the fear that the boy might turn around and reveal himself to be someone else.

Shinji had been lost in thought when he felt a touch on his shoulder. He jumped with a sharp yell of alarm and surprise and whirled around, shining his flashlight into the darkness, "Agggghhh!"

In retrospect, whispered numbers while the 'patients' were all pushed around by nurses were not a great help in direction, considering the pretty much identical hallways around here. Pausing for a moment, and resisting the urge to reach into the coat pocket and play with the rubber band, Usopp thought it out. He'd seen the numbers were getting larger as he went down the hallway, so that meant the rooms at the end were the highest. Then it was only a glance with the light at the first room number on the edge of another hall off of this to see, if there was in fact an M60, it shouldn't be off of this hall.

Unless Simon really was crazy and had made the number up. Or Usopp was crazy for trusting the room numbering systems of someone he'd already decided was nuts. Then again, standing around in the hallway wasn't getting him anywhere either.

Abe held out a lingering hope that he'd meet Mr. Smith along the way. The man had at least some sense. Or Demyx, or perhaps that nice golem man. Someone. He always thought he'd be fine by himself until night actually fell and something dark crept under his skin. It made his soul feel cold, for lack of a better term.

Mello switched on the flashlight and found the door with the beam, then nodded to Emmett and made for it. The less they talked, the better, he figured. He could hear other people moving around. If there was anything to the vague warning he'd heard, better those people call attention to themselves than them.
