Night 49: F31-F40 Hallway

[sheisthecause]

Meche really wasn't sure what to do with herself tonight. Hitsugaya hadn't left any messages for Arts and Crafts--or any messages at all, now that she thought about it. Shouldn't he at least have mentioned that he'd gotten her report? Even if she wasn't sure she trusted his judgment about assignments all the time, he was usually pretty good about

Bella's stumbling was greeted by a very concerned Claire. When they exited the room, realizing that Bella probably couldn't see the expression on her face very well, although it was one of questioning concern, she reached out to put a hand on her shoulder. The reassurance made her smile blithely, but it didn't do much to help the fact that every other step she was getting confused on whether she was walking through her kitchen in Costa Verde or the halls of the institute.

But, admitting that he'd affected her like this wasn't going to happen, so she buried it deeper.

"Yeah. I'm fine, don't worry. I'm more worried about you -- it looked like you hit your head pretty hard." It's said with a bit of a chuckle that felt more misplaced when it came out. She was creeping around an insane asylum in the middle of the night -- on that she'd been locked in for no reason -- looking for monsters. Any normal person would be horrified. Then again, she'd never done a very good job of being normal.

"I guess if we really want to find out what's going on, we need to get out of the patient blocks then, don't we?" She shined her flashlight down one side of the hallway, then the other, and decided to head to the right out of their room. Judging by the glimpse she'd taken of Bella's map, it seemed like the best option. "Maybe find a nurse's station or a doctor's office."

"I'm fine," Bella said with a grumble, now thoroughly embarrassed. "I'm just ... disgustingly clumsy is all. Don't worry, I've had worse."

At the mention of either a nurse's station or a doctor's office, Bella reached into her pocket and pulled out her map (when had she put it there? she didn't even realize.) and quickly unfolded it, peering down at the paper with her flashlight, leaving enough room for Claire to look as well. "Well, the nurse's room is close to here we can check? And there's a whole group of doctor's offices down here ..." her finger traced down the path too the offices, quite glad that her map making savior had taken the time to label everything. "Why don't we try the nurse's station first? Since it's closer and we won't have to go very far."

She only hoped the doors weren't locked or anything - at least when she got the medical pack she had been able to smash the door until it opened. (She certainly remembered that, alright. Or rather, her bruised shoulder did.)

"If you say so ..." Claire definitely wasn't going to argue when someone claimed to have had worse -- she'd be a hypocrite if she did. She'd said it so many times she could barely count at this point. So, she let it go, but kept close to Bella, ready to catch her in case she managed to trip over an ill set tile or something. It was weird to Claire that the halls were completely empty, but she tried to focus her attention on the map instead, lips pulled into a thin line.

"Okay. We'll go to the nurse's station first, maybe we can find something heavier than a flashlight to throw around." She tried to smile but it didn't reach her eyes -- not that it mattered in this kind of darkness, anyway.

"Besides, they might have medical supplies there or something and bringing some around with us wouldn't hurt." Not when there were monsters running around, and Bella had just professed to being clumsy as hell. Somewhere in the back of her mind, Claire was wishing she'd figured out how to wrap bandages or some other kind of first aid, even though she'd never needed it for herself.

"Alright," Bella said with a nod, folding up her map once it was decided and shoving it into her pocket. "Nurse's station it is. Maybe we can try to bust the door down or something. Shouldn't be too hard with two of us," she said with a grin, beginning to move down the hallway once again, in a path she had traveled for the past few nights. "Too bad we can't find a metal pipe or something like that. We'd be pretty set if we both had one. Why can't they just leave weapons hanging around like in video games?"
