[From here]Finally, she thought. It felt good to be actually productive for a night--yanking copious amounts of liquor and snacks aside. Of course, it had come with a price, as the fiery throb in her hand reminded her. Carefully pushing the door open, which was still in pristine condition (and thus creeped the hell out of Tifa), for them to both ( Read more... )

[From here]"Should be one of these doors here..." She kept her words soft so as not to attract any unwanted attention, but it was ultimately a moot decision. It wouldn't take long to dispose of any refuse that lingered in this hallway and the loud slamming noises of Tifa's foot against the first helpless door weren't exactly quiet ( Read more... )

[From here]Once they hit the dead end of this hallway, Tifa directed them to the left. A pitch black corridor greeted them like the entrance into a giant monster's belly.

The system (if he could call it that, vague as it was to describe the whole Landel's torture/ ( Read more... )

[Coming from here.]Daemon slipped from the hallway and into the stairwell, starting the climb to the second floor. His gaze searched the shadows and he'd made no more than three steps up when he went carefully still, holding up a hand to halt Renji as well. The chittering came from above their heads, quiet but definitely there, the sound familiar ( Read more... )

Peter left the room thinking very deep thoughts. Most of which entailed speculation on the origins of the pink glow he had just been assaulted by. As much as he hated himself for it, he couldn't help but keep coming back to the Matrix. Maybe they just changed something. Turned the halls into mazes.
