Day: 9
Characters: not_his_shadow, kingofdecisions, stedelweiss
Summary: The night after the nurse's attack, the local Triads go out on an expedition to see if they can get their hands on weapons while staff is not around, and to try and find out where the mysterious lady came from exactly. Maybe her way into the asylum can be their way out, after all.
When: NIGHT - very soon after the cell doors open.
Where: Starting at the Patient Block, Security Level 1, Cell #001 - then commencing through the Patient Block.
Status: Incomplete; OPEN

As he did so often these days, Cao Pi waited. For the most part, there was little else to do in this place but wait - wait for nightfall, try to sleep as much as they would let him during the day, so he would have the nights to walk around freely and explore his prison. He had been suspicious of the staff's habit to leave the doors unlocked at night for some time, but in the end, it made no difference if they were even watching him - sitting in his cell while this chance presented itself was doing nothing for him. He and all the others here were at the staff's mercy anyway, and the staff hardly needed an excuse such as catching them sneaking around to execute them or do worse.

Since the incident last night, however, there was a certain restlessness that had settled on Cao Pi. He was not entirely unused to attacks and assassination attempts; no military officer of his time was, for that matter. But the circumstances of this attack would not leave him. The woman, her uniform, her inhuman strength - and most importantly, where she had come from. He believed the guards, at least in this regard. They had no idea about her appearance. But that meant that she had come from the outside or that she was a traitor from within their ranks, and for whatever reason wanted him and perhaps a few of the others dead. If she appeared again tonight, he was well off outside of his cell. If she did not, he still had a chance to search the offices he had seen staff disappear into, and search the other rooms in the area for clues where she came from.

Cao Pi leaned against the wall next to his door, provisionally armed with the chair leg he had tried to fend the nurse off with the other night. His wrist ached a little, bleeding from her attack, but it did not seem to be anything serious. When he was so close to something that he wanted or had planned out, impatience seized him stronger than usually. Waiting for Guo Jia was a bit of a torture in itself.
