Night 50: Main Hallway, 1-West

Jul 09, 2010 20:42

[from here]It looked like the hallway opened up over here. Guess he couldn't expect to just run around and follow a linear corridor forever, but now he had to figure out which way he wanted to go. Normally, he'd just run down whatever hallway he happened to lay eye on first, but again, he was running a liiittle blind here ( Read more... )

Not surprisingly, the big guy liked to keep things simple. That may have been for the best, though. The more time they spent talking, the less distance they were going to cover before morning came. While Rita couldn't quite identify with the guy's willingness to go along with a plan he didn't fully understand, she could certainly appreciate the convenience of it at the moment.

"That's basically right," Rita confirmed, adding to that bare-bones explanation. "By day, they run this place like a mental hospital - and we're the patients. At night, it's like this. I don't know what they're trying to do with us here, but I don't plan on sticking around long enough to find out."

Did Rita want to know why some bastard abducted her from her home and took her to another planet where people treated her like she was crazy? Damn straight, she did. But the full truth couldn't be found while they were confined within the Head Doctor's walls. They had to get to somewhere beyond his control, and then they could do what they needed to. Gathering information from the outside world, launching a counter attack, finding a way home... all of those things would be possible once they were no longer prisoners.

She curled her ring-wearing hand into a fist and held it in front of herself. "Are you in or out?" she asked the smaller man.

While it was nice and all for Gigantor to get on along fine with knowing a minimal amount of information, this particular pseudo pagan god kind of got off on knowing every minute detail about the situation involving him - and usually ones that didn't. It'd be nice to think that his loving brother had enough gooey feelings in him to send Gabriel to a mental hospital that sucked out his mojo so he could have fun running around in the dark, but he really doubted that sort of feeling was there.

This would've made a good television show.

"Why the hell not?" he said with a shrug; instant gratifying teleportation wasn't a new bone to him, and he was interested to see how a ring was gonna manage to move something like him - plus two other humans. Maybe it didn't discriminate between species or something. "Let's hit it."

The fact that she didn't know what it was the Sanctum had planned for them wasn't hugely surprising. They liked keeping those pesky, little details to themselves, and no normal person wanted to believe they were being thrown away. So he saw no need in voicing in any more info than she was offering up. Besides, Snow liked this kid's enthusiasm. The guy didn't seem to be all that thrilled about the whole thing, but he was going along with it anyway. So no need to say or do anything that would kill the mood and drag everyone down. Let's keep that energy going!

Like the kid, Snow brought his own fist up in front of him, obviously more than ready to go. "Alright! Sounds like a plan. Let's do this!"

Of course, he... didn't really know what it was they were doing or how they were going to do it or what. But they knew it had to do with the ring, right? So...

So everyone was on board. Good.

"Everybody, stay close," Rita told them as she turned to face the nearest wall. She wasn't sure what the range of effect was with the ring, but she didn't want to end up leaving people behind because of an easily avoided mistake.

So it was back to the lake again. This time, Rita was going to be expecting the jarring transition, so it was likely to go much smoother than before. They'd just have to get their bearings and swim to shore. They had a plan. This was going to be easy.

"Get ready to swim," she warned the two men as she pulled back her arm, preparing herself. Her fist lingered there for a few seconds as she took a deep breath...

...then slammed it into the wall, shattering the jeweled ring.
