NIGHTSHIFT 52: M31-M40 Hallway

Oct 13, 2010 17:10

[Currently M36]Touya had thought that the last vestiges of his exhaustion due to the drain of his power had all but vanished, but apparently it had made one last stand. Touya awoke briefly when his nurse had brought in dinner, the last thing he remembered being talking with Yue in the hall ( Read more... )

He hadn't really promised to stay in tonight, so Ritsuka had no idea why he was still sitting here in the room. He didn't really have anywhere to go and no one to go with, but that shouldn't have stopped him from doing something. It was...habit, he supposed, to wait in his room until someone came for him. He knew he should be stronger, be willing to run out and uncover the truth behind this place, but after relying on Soubi for so long, Ritsuka felt the weight of his absence twice as much ( ... )

[From here]

"Nataku's former roommate in M35," Yuffie reminded herself, out of impatience rather than any real need. "Nataku. M35. M35, Nataku."

Who's the roommate? she wondered vaguely, as she kicked up into an aerial cartwheel. It would've been handy if Okita'd been able to tell her that, but-oh well. Too late now, and it wasn't too important. Yuffie just hoped that they wouldn't be jerks about handing over the stuff

Before long, she found herself skidding to a stop outside the room. No delays; good. Hopefully she'd still be able to beat Okita back to his room. "Knock knock," she called out, before rapping lightly against the door. "Anybody home?"

Re: M35 forgot_it_all October 22 2010, 11:17:26 UTC

There was a knock at the door and Ritsuka jumped slightly, having not expected anyone for the evening. After the lights had gone crazy and Landel had...been crazy as usual, Ritsuka really hadn't thought someone would just show up at his room for no reason. Maybe they were hurt? The Clinic hadn't been here for a long time, but some people might have still thought he could help.

Peeking his head around the corner, he went to the door and opened it - just a bit - to look out at the person in the hall. Thanks to the lights being on (if dimly), he could see that it was a girl, about half a head taller than him. She wasn't wearing the usual Institute uniform though and that set Ritskua's cat ears back. The Special Counseling patients didn't travel though and they certainly didn't knock before breaking someone in half and sending them sailing, so he opened the door a little wider. "Can...I help you?"

Re: M35 thatdamnedninja October 22 2010, 11:26:51 UTC

Yuffie shuffled, trying not to stare. It was a kid. A kid with… a kid with ears. Cat ears. Cat ears that could move. "Um…" With a wrench of will, she forced herself to focus. Who cared if it was a kid and if the kid had moveable kitty ears? Nanaki was a fire-catdogwolf, and Yuffie didn't stare at him. "Sorry to bother ya," she said lightly, rocking back on her heels. Once she was over something, she was over it. "I'm here from the History Club. About Nataku's things?"

All the same, now she was really hoping that there wasn't going to be any trouble. She'd never had any trouble picking on kids (or anybody, really; a target was a target when they had something you needed-not just wanted, needed), but it wouldn't do a whole lot of good for the History Club's reputation if word got out.

Re: M35 forgot_it_all October 22 2010, 11:36:28 UTC

The girl was staring. At him. He could feel it and it made his ears flatten against his skull again. His tail twitched behind him in irritation as well. He knew he was a little weird for other people, but this was totally normal for him. It was weird to have people stare. He didn't stare at their...lack of ears, after all.

She rocked back on her heels and it seemed like she was over it, so his ears started to perk up again. At least until she mentioned Nataku. That was a sore spot like nothing else and Ritsuka dropped his eyes slightly as he clenched his jaws to stop from saying anything stupid like how he was sorry or whatever else. It took him a moment, but he eventually nodded and stepped aside to allow the girl to come in. "I think there are some of his things in my closet. I found them just now."

Re: M35 thatdamnedninja October 22 2010, 11:48:02 UTC

"Mind if I grab 'em, or do you wanna?" Yuffie asked, stepping into the room. She took a moment to lean her shuriken carefully against the wall; best to keep it out of the way where it wouldn't be carelessly brushed against, but easy to reach at short notice. Even with the wakizashi at her waist and the knives and pens scattered about her person, Yuffie felt better knowing that her primary weapon was close by.

Besides, if there was enough stuff, it might be a good idea to have both her hands free just long enough to throw together some kind of carry sack. She eyed the sheets covering both of the beds contemplatively, then the pillow cases. Both would work, depending… but! No point in going near 'em, until she knew it'd be necessary. "I'm Yuffie, by the way," she added. It was easier than trying to offer some… platitude, or whatever. The kid had lost his roommate; Yuffie'd been happy enough to be rid of Sen, but who knew? Maybe some people actually got close to the people they'd been forced to share space with.

Re: M35 forgot_it_all November 3 2010, 02:32:16 UTC

Yeah, that thing was starting to worry him. The fact that this girl was carrying a shuriken was one thing, but a shuriken of that size? It made him nervous and that was without the sword at her waist. She was obviously a fighter and that was good...he guessed, but something about it all seemed so off ( ... )

Re: M35 thatdamnedninja November 3 2010, 19:41:39 UTC

Quit it with the Wutaian names, Yuffie wanted to say-wanted to want to say. It almost makes me miss being homesick.

"Nice t'meet'cha, Ritsuka!" she said instead, flashing a grin at him over her shoulder. And, just to spite herself, she added, "You're probably from Japan, huh? I think Landel's got a thing for you guys. It's weird."

It was a blasé assumption, without a whole lot of thought behind it. Yuffie was a little preoccupied rooting through the lil' guy's closet for whatever his old roomie had left behind. She found it all soon enough; clothes, a gun, a box full of ammo, a half bottle of whisky, a pack of cigarettes-ew-and a couple of keys… a machete, and then six scalpels. Yuffie whistled under her breath, shaking her head. "Somebody sure was busy…" There was no way she'd be able to haul everything back to Okita's room bare-handed.

… Wouldn't be able to haul it all back to her room, either ( ... )

Re: M35 forgot_it_all November 4 2010, 00:51:31 UTC

"Uh...yeah, seems like he does." Or just a thing for being a complete jerk. There were a lot of people from Japan here, sure, but most of them weren't from the same worlds or even from Earth. But whatever Ritsuka said didn't really seem to matter. Yuffie was busy rooting around in his closet, gathering up whatever Nataku had left behind. It seemed like there was a lot, too, if the amount of time Yuffie took to figure it all out was any indication.

Ritsuka himself hadn't taken the time to look. Or rather, he hadn't had the time to look before Yuffie had appeared. It wasn't in his nature to pry into other people's business more than necessary, though, so he sat on the bed, watching her to make sure she didn't suddenly go crazy with the sword at her waist. He didn't think she would, but weapons made Ritsuka nervous as a rule of thumb ( ... )

Re: M35 thatdamnedninja November 6 2010, 02:34:26 UTC

"Why bother?" Yuffie retorted, distractedly. "Formalities are, like, a total waste of time. If this tears when I'm walking, man, I'm gonna…" She jostled the bag lightly, and let out a soft sigh of relief when it held "Anyway, it's not like I'm taking your bedding." That really would've been a waste of time, even though the extra pillow case would've come in handy for the trek back to Okita's room. Kids these days really didn't understand just how awesome it was to donate their things to a good cause ( ... )

Re: M35 forgot_it_all November 9 2010, 01:50:20 UTC

That...had to have been one of the weirdest meetings he'd had since coming to the institute. Not only did Yuffie flip around like a ballerina on speed, but she just took what she wanted without asking. She was unusually sunny for this place, too, which left Ritsuka feeling a little disoriented when Yuffie took off for the night ( ... )
