This was insane. Even on the best of days Russell knew he was no match for most of these people but his mind just wouldn't stop. He didn't know this Madara character but this was not good; not good at all. Even so, his experiments would go on, whatever happened so he really should go see what had happened in the biodome at reset. It was risky but there was no helping it.
Stiffening his resolve, and insisting to himself that he was not afraid, Russell made his way out of the suite, doing his best to keep quiet. The last thing he needed was to wake the others up. He opened the door as quickly as he dared, immediately turning to close the door gently behind him. He only made it halfway, pausing with a start. Blue eyes narrowed, tension coiling through his body and his grip tightening on the door knob as he caught sight of the red-head who had just rounded the corner.
As tense as he was, Kurama nearly jumped out of his skin when the door to Suite 25 opened. He slipped into a defensive position out of instinct, before he could even see who the person was. His mind was already jumping ahead to what he would do and where he would go if this person was in any way threatening. Perhaps if he acted quickly, he could take the initiative and disable the person before they had the chance to--
The flash of blond hair brought recognition to Kurama's expression, halting his train of thought.
"Russell?" he breathed quietly, lowering his guard but not dropping it completely. There was relief, but not enough for Kurama to feel completely at ease. Despite having been more than a little friendly with the boy, the red-head still didn't know where he stood. He didn't seem the type to buy into these hellish games that people were playing, but you never could tell...
Russell glanced down at the door knob, forcibly loosening his grip. He didn't close the door, not yet, not with the martial arts he'd seen the red head pull off earlier. Kurama seemed nice enough but far too secretive and that made him just as dangerous as the rest of them. He took a deep breath, wondering himself just how to answer the question.
What was he doing out here, really? Wandering the halls while psychopaths with mysterious powers are rampaging through the building and he was completely defenseless? The thought alone made him wince a little. And he'd called the party-goers reckless.
"I was merely going to take a quick look around the biodome... see if the damage had been rectified." He didn't mean to sound so defensive but there was no taking it back now.
Russell's response was more than enough to make Kurama question the blond's sanity. Who in their right mind would put a couple of chamomile plants ahead of their own life? Or maybe he just hadn't seen the feeds yet...
His first reaction was to tell the other boy that he shouldn't be out here. He should just stay in his room for the duration of the week, provided he had the means to feed himself. Then again, what would that do if they went from room to room searching for victims to terrorize? Kurama cringed inwardly. The image that created wasn't a pleasant one.
"It probably has, but I expect there will be more damage shortly. Now isn't the time to worry about that." He turns away slightly, angled towards the longer part of the hallway. He motions with his hand for Russell to follow.
"I need to check on a friend, but I would rather not just leave you here, if it's all the same to you. Would you mind?"
