Night 49: F21-F30 Hallway

May 15, 2010 20:42

Sleep studies. Emergency reconstruction. The doctor's first message was just as ominous as his second, and once again Aigis felt herself dealing with a rush of sudden, burning emotions. She had to stay seated for a moment, biting her bottom lip, just trying to cool down. With her cooling jets missing, it wasn't quite as easy to filter in air to ( Read more... )

She hadn't stopped them.

In their room Ema would have been safe, but that wasn't going to happen now, because Agatha couldn't deal with a couple of Landel's minions. It wasn't quite nightmarish- Agatha's nightmares were already pretty fully cast- but it was bad.

But whatever the situation had been then, there was no one stopping her from searching her friend out now, so, grimly packing up her few useful items in the shirtbag, she opened the door and headed out.

The young woman Lana had seen exiting Ema's room last night was standing just outside it. Which would suggest not everyone had been moved. Perhaps it was just a simple consolidation, then.

Lana marched up and addressed her directly. "Is Ema still inside? I need to speak to her." Lana wasn't sure where else she'd be, if not, but she couldn't bring herself to fault Ema for not wanting to stay in a dark room. And if her roommate was still here, either Ema should be, or she'd had the luck to be returned home.

Lana didn't think she had that kind of luck any more, if she ever had.

Agatha vaguely remembered this woman from last night- she'd been a bit distracted at the time by the promise of tools- but it was obvious that she had something to do with Ema, which meant that this conversation was probably going to be excruciating.

But it was also probably both unavoidable and important, so Agatha plowed into the explanation first. "Some nurses came," she explained, while shaking her head no. "They talked about that 'sleep study'- I was just about to start searching."

"She...was taken? When? After dinner?" That was only a few minutes ago. God. She'd been calmly eating cream pie and toweling her hair while Ema had been being kidnapped. Could it be called kidnapping when they were already prisoners against their will? Say tortured, then; while Edgeworth's notes had never used that word, they'd spent a dozen dancing around the possibility instead.

Lana's eyes narrowed. Lana's world narrowed, to the space between the young woman fumbling her way through a series of excuses and her own frantic thoughts.

She was at their mercy, and that had been heretofore shown to be be scant. "They're taken upstairs. That's all I know for certain." Not quite all she suspected; the map in her notebook had no point labeled CM-US, but she remembered drawing in a series of unlabeled, small rooms that had looked like cells. Her gut instinct had been right, and now Ema was the one place she'd done everything in her power -- and several things that never should have been -- to avoid.

She felt... strange. Head fuzzy and reactions dimmed, there was a thought that said that those couple of gulps were probably not the best thing to do. Still, the girl slid on her uniform, letting right shoulder hang down so it wouldn't mess with her sling. At least her leg was less sore. Walking wasn't so much an issue.

The sword was slid into her sash, and she moved to the doorway, offering a bye to Falis before slipping into the hall.

She had ate what she wanted and left the rest, eying the intercom box in the corner of the room when it crackled twice. The doors unlocked, and she stared momentarily. Habits were encompassing, and she desired movement in the slightest of ways. The events of the past night rested on her mind. Answers were not as forthcoming ( ... )

Tonight was... interesting. Interesting because the orderlies had come for Nunnally. Erika was silent when the event happened, despite how the other girl must have been feeling, but she couldn't help but break out into a wide grin once the night began. Not only was Nunnally taken away, but the Head Doctor had promised changes tonight and visitors? All points to investigate. He was really too much like Beatrice, giving out too many clues and too much information. Either everyone else on this board was incompetent or the board's difficulty was that great. She had suspected the former, but the latter was slowly becoming more possible ( ... )

Well, thank you Doctor Creepy Pantaloons. That's certainly bumped mad science experiment very, very far up the list of possibilities.The intercom clicked off for the second time, followed by the distinct sound of the door unlocking. Elaine shared a confused, but intrigued look with Leela at that. "I suppose this is meant to be an invitation, then. Wonder what sort of party Landel throws?" Somehow, Elaine had a feeling it wasn't going to be fancy dress. Either way, she was keen to do some party crashing, invitation or no ( ... )
