Night 52: Stairwell by Waiting Room/Lobby 1

Oct 16, 2010 21:08

[From here.]While it was his first time heading up the stairs, Castiel felt no trepidation. Even if he was alone and it was deathly quiet, he was used to unsettling situations and saw no reason to slow his march upward. Though at the sound of footsteps, he did glance over his shoulder for a split second, to see another patient who was taking the ( Read more... )

It only occurred to Scott a few moments later that Matthew II had asked a question. "Oh, right, Landel. Uhh, I don't know for sure, but I've got a feeling we can find him in the basement at some point. That's just the kind of place evil dudes hang out, you know?"

He started up the stairs, hoping the others were following already. "I don't wanna go there tonight, though. Had a bad enough time trying to get down there with a big team of guys-" later a team of guys plus two girls, Scott remembered with a shudder and a sick tingle through his body "-so there's no way I want to try it with two guys I just met. No offense."

He paused on a step before he could continue, however. Among their shadows creeping up the wall, Scott could have sworn there was a weird movement again. And again, when he turned his head to be sure, there was nothing.

"Hey, there's no one else behind you guys, right?" he asked, a barely-there quaver in his throat.

As generally accepting as he was, Roxas wasn't bothered by the fact that one more patient had joined their exploration team. His question had been meant to skip the pleasantries and get down to business. He didn't want to disappoint Sora, after all. "I don't know what Canada is," the Nobody confessed as they began moving. Maybe it was near Russia? That was kind of a heft assumption, though; for all Roxas knew, they could have been on separate worlds. Or was Canada a world? Not to mention: why had he said where he was from? That didn't seem to be the normal introductory method...

"I'm from the World That Never Was, I guess." He shrugged, following Scott. It was good the lights at least were somewhat reliable; there was flickering, but it was much easier to see than he was accustomed to at night.

Roxas agreed with Scott's plan, having none of his own to offer. He was, however, surprised about what he talked about beyond that. "I didn't even know there was a basement," he replied honestly, wondering how the heck he'd missed that. What ( ... )

"R-Right." Matthew nodded uncertainly at Scott's statement. Did all bad guys really hide in basements? For all they knew, Mr. Landel could be living in a mansion a mile away from the asylum. But...unless they could find an exit from this place, searching the insides of the building was probably the best option they had ( ... )

Scott wasn't entirely assured knowing that the others hadn't seen anything, but partial assurance was better than none at all, he guessed. "Okay, just checking," he said, glancing around one more time to be sure as a few other patients went up the stairs ahead of them (had that been Honda there? The dark-haired man and his buddy had gone by too quickly for Scott to say for sure).

Slowly, he resumed climbing, going back the question about the basement: "Anyway, correction - I kind of made it down with myself and a one-man army once before that. We were stopped in the first room by a two-headed fire-breathing monster from Hell." If Other Matt hadn't heard about the monsters before, well, he had now. The more people who knew what to prepare for in the basement, the better ( ... )

Roxas shrugged again, unsurprised that the name of that world hadn't exactly triggered any reaction that led to recognition. It was a planet of Nobodies and Heartless and it didn't make sense for anyone who wasn't one of those two to know about it. Pretty much for the best in Roxas's opinion considering how dank and damp and wet it always was. Rain was okay. Constant rain? Not so much, even with a hooded coat. That was just one of the reasons why he'd never spent much of his time there. Awake, at least.

It seemed the pattern of not understanding one another was going to continue though, as Scott referenced a "Hell" that the monster would have come from. The trait of fire-breathing didn't exactly elicit a memory of either Heartless or Nobody, so Roxas was nearly convinced it wasn't either. Having been in the same location for more than a couple of days without hide nor hair of either species - aside from a few assorted Organization members - probably should have been worrisome. But monsters, honest monsters were kind of a breath of ( ... )
