Night 47: Main Hallway, 2-West

[scientist_skye]

[from here]Once Ema and Agatha made their way upstairs, they were officially in unfamiliar territory. At least, it was unfamiliar to Ema; the girl had no idea where Agatha had and had not been. She figured it was time to check in with the other party. Even if there was an unspoken agreement that Agatha was the leader of the pair, Ema still

When the radio suddenly came to life, the blond jumped a little in surprise. He hadn't expected the thing to actually go off, and he couldn't help but admire Guy a bit for thinking to bring his along. As his friend held it up for the both of them to listen, Claude moved in closer, straining to catch every word.

He wasn't so surprised to hear that the radio man was gone for good, but it did mean that he probably wouldn't ever get any clear answers as to why he'd told them the key to escaping was in the basement. This new radio personality, whoever she really was, hadn't been much help to them the last time she was around, either. Hadn't she led them straight into a trap that night he and Guy had gone into the music room? He hadn't forgotten those two lurching monsters that had come for them from seemingly out of no where. There was no way that had been some kind of coincidence. It was for that reason that Claude wasn't so sure how much stock he could put into any of her future clues, but...well, it probably wouldn't hurt to listen to what she had to say, at the very least. By ignoring her, they risked missing out on something important, right?

"Do you think we should just wait around until she comes back, then?" he asked, albeit a little skeptically. "I wonder how long 'a few minutes' is supposed to be."

It wasn't that Guy would have just brought the radio along on a whim, but the Head Doctor had mentioned it. He'd mainly done it on the off chance that something might happen, but he hadn't really expected much. It looked like it had been a good idea to bring it after all.

Guy didn't like the idea of just standing around and waiting for the radio to come on again, though. That could easily end up being a waste of time - as Claude pointed out, the passage of time here was tenuous at best, so he wasn't going to rely on it actually taking a few minutes.

"No, let's keep moving," he said with a shake of his head. "It might end up taking us further away from where the clues end up being, but... we'll just have to take that chance." Guy wasn't even sure he wanted to follow the woman's words just yet, so he didn't think they should restructure their whole night because of this turn of events. Hopefully Claude would agree.

"Heading straight sounds as good as anything," he said as he nodded forward. It would be unknown territory, but that was what they were looking for right now.

That was what Claude was leaning toward, so it was nice to see they were on the same page. It was definitely better to head out now instead of waiting for the radio clue. That way, if the clue wasn't anything they wanted to follow through on, they wouldn't have wasted a good chunk of their night just standing around. Since they were up here, they may as well use the time they were given.

"Sounds good to me," he replied. "Let's be careful, though." Because they were headed into a place they'd never been before, it was possible there was some danger they weren't aware of. At least they were both armed, though. So long as they weren't dealing with anything massive, they could probably handle themselves just fine.

"Come on." He gave Guy a small smile before leading the way forward.
