Night 47: M41-M50 Hallway

Feb 10, 2010 17:16

McCoy listened to that crackling intercom with some concern. A "Mr. Radio?", "P.A.I.L.?" Coupled along with the smugness and that cackling, he had to say it sounded like this head Doctor had gone off the deep end himself long ago. Somehow it made sense. Only a mad man could conjure up all this ( Read more... )

622 rounded the final corner to Commander Hayes' hall, stopping just past the intersection and scanning the area. No sign of Xigbar yet. He supposed he'd have to wait again. Hopefully not for long, although he had no real clue what else he was going to be doing tonight.

He sighed, standing at rest but still alert, keeping watch for hostiles and Xigbar.

Despite how the previous exchange had worked out, Xigbar was far from a hostile, especially not to the trooper. Quite the contrary, with how his plans for the night were going, he was in quite the chipper mood, a grin on his face as he strolled down the hallway. He was alert for problems, sure, but that didn't mean he had to have a long face as he moved along.

Needless to say, he caught sight of the trooper sooner rather than later, and so he waved jauntily as he moved along. "There you are! Hope you haven't been waitin' for long?"

622 straightened up a little bit more (if that was even possible) when he saw someone coming towards him, but... once he realized who it was, he decided not to bother. Frankly, it wasn't worth the extra effort of being formal if he was just going to get teased for it.

"A few minutes," he replied, taking the rifle off his back and holding it out to Xigbar. "Not as bad as standing guard duty."

Heh, it had only taken a single day to get the soldier to loosen up a bit? Progress was being made at last! Xigbar took the rifle easily, shrugging at the response. He had places to be, as did the soldier he was sure, but he still wanted to stick around at least a little bit. "Heh, guess you would be a little more used to stickin' around places. Me, I'm off to go have some fun, so don't get yourself eaten while I'm gone, dude."

"I... have no plans, so it really didn't matter how long I wait." It was embarrassing to admit, but he really didn't have any. He might just try to find someone to help, but he hadn't been able to plan it out.

"Huh, that's a pain." Xigbar considered offering to take the soldier along, but from how stiff he sounded, he probably didn't ever go hunting for sport, and certainly not with something as old-fashioned as a bow. And heck if Xigbar was parting with his rifle again if he could help it.

So, instead of some conciliatory remark or an offer to tag along, Xigbar just shrugged. "Unfortunately, I've got a bit of a date tonight, so I can't really stick around to babysit. Wander around for a little and I'm sure you'll find something to keep yourself occupied. See ya tomorrow!" And with an idle wave of his hand, Xigbar just left, not giving the poor trooper another thought as he headed off to his next bit of entertainment.
