Night 49: Pet Supply Place

May 20, 2010 20:42

[ From here.]And this was not the Sun Room. Or any room at Landel's that he'd seen. The odd twisting feeling made Abe's hand slip from the door handle against his will and it slammed shut, leaving him in a far more cramped room that smelled faintly of animal food and wood shavings. "What in the world?" he whispered as he reached for his flashlight ( Read more... )

[from here]

As before, dizziness hit him hard enough to make him close his eyes, but Kirk had enough sense to keep a firm grip on the doorknob. Either it was just in his head (unlikely) or they were being warped to an improbable location again, and the last thing he wanted was to lose Chekov or Roxas on the way. Despite his lack of verbal directions, he had no doubt that his travel companions were following close behind anyway.

When he finally opened his eyes, however, what appeared under the glare of his flashlight wasn't the familiar white walls of the hospital. He could make out shelves, a counter... Granted, Kirk hadn't been in every room of Landel's Institute, but the smell alone told him that this was no hospital.

"What," Kirk said, eloquently, turning back, but the knob slid out of his fingers as he moved and the door shut firmly behind them. He'd seen the door they'd exited through, had touched it himself, but this one had a glass panel in it and wasn't even the same colour. Through the glass and the shop windows, he could ( ... )

Ow. Okay, he hadn't been prepared for that second time. When he - what, landed? Was that it? - in the new room, he actually felt queasy, taking a step forward from the door to avoid tripping over his own feet.

He was tired and about to lose his dinner. This was already turning into a great night. The smell of wet dog wasn't helping his newly-developed motion sickness, though Roxas supposed there was a small sense of gratification knowing the smell wasn't coming from the three of them. No, it was definitely this... building...

Wait a second. He actually knew where this was; he'd passed by this place with Axel earlier that day. He'd looked through the windows in an attempt to catch a glimpse of any possible animals inside, though he hadn't gone in himself.

And it was still pouring rain outside. Great.

"This doesn't make sense," he said, turning back to stare at the door behind them, the one that had just shut by itself. "I can't even use corridors here, but this store isn't anywhere close to the institute." And if these two still ( ... )

Chekov was once again disoriented and unsure of where they were, but once he shone his light around their new surroundings, he found himself in even more disbelief. They had somehow gone from the second floor of the prison to the town. Chekov had been in this establishment just that morning while he had been mapping the town. It looked to be in severe disrepair, though.

He was immediately reminded of the attack that had occurred the very night he and Captain Kirk had arrived. It had happened in the town as well, which meant that they might be at the origin point of the reanimated corpses.

Forming his recommendation that they leave immediately, Roxas' input gave Chekov pause. Corridors? Worlds ( ... )

Kirk glared out the window at the dark, flooded street. His head throbbed a little from the quickness of the two jumps they'd just gone through, but at least he felt better than Roxas looked. The kid had obviously been exhausted since their fight on the first floor, but if he was managing to keep it together, then Kirk could hardly whine about some slight nausea. It was impressive, really: Roxas may have been young, but he obviously had a good head on his shoulders ( ... )

Whoops. The gig was up (as Xigbar would probably say)... or was it jig?

"No," he said quickly, before following it up with, "I mean, I do, I guess, but I don't think that's what's happening now." Oh man, he really was going to vomit. Somehow he had never done it before but he knew that was exactly what his body was wanting to do. And the rain was giving him a headache. Using the length of his pipe leaned up against the closest shelf - piled high with dog food cans, from what little he could see - the Nobody wobbled a little more steadily on his feet.

He officially hated frogs now.

"For one, neither of you should have been able to go into one." Okay, he was blathering, but give him a break. Maybe if he kept talking the food would stay in his stomach. It seemed like a reasonable conclusion. "I don't mean like... hallway corridors. It's like a tunnel... that goes somewhere else."

All tunnels go somewhere else. That is a really stupid explanation.Roxas wasn't sure saying "corridor of darkness" was going to, you know, expel any ( ... )

Chekov had to admit, Roxas' explanation of what he'd been referring to left something to be desired. He could at least comprehend that Roxas knew something about... black hole-like tunnels. Which weren't exactly what they were all experiencing, being that they were at least remaining in their own dimension (supposedly), but it was at least something to question further. Where did these tunnels go? How were they formed? Why couldn't he and Captain Kirk go through one of the tunnels Roxas was referring to ( ... )

Roxas' explanation of corridors also went over Kirk's head, but he could grasp the gist of his meaning, and the most important point. "So it's not you who's doing this," Kirk said, still picking his way through the disorderly mess of the store. He hadn't exactly suspected Roxas was to blame - the kid had looked as surprised as they did to warp to completely unpredictable rooms - but he shown himself to have "powers," and he'd seemed to recognize something about the doors ( ... )

"I'm okay," he said, quickly moving away from the offered arm. If there was one thing he needed, it wasn't an arm to hold him up (not even if he was about to fall over, thanks.) Maybe just moving and getting out of this rainstorm would help; even a different smell couldn't hurt. It was just the combination of everything.

Once he did move towards the door Jim opened, he did feel better. And since he was already flinching before entering the door, he was prepared for it.
