Night 54: F1-F10 Hallway

Feb 10, 2011 02:05

[F2. Continued from here.]But not all light was gone from the room, at least not for long. After the corpse-like woman left the intercom, and after her serious-sounding male replacement had finished his warning, a faint golden light faded into existence. Rapunzel couldn't place the source right away - it seemed to be coming from everywhere in the ( Read more... )

Once the lights went out and the familiar click of an automatic bolt being unlocked, Tifa slid her hand under her pillow and took her flashlight. She turned it on, but kept it low so as not to blind either of them. "I wish I had a purse for all the crap I have to carry around every night..." It made having to fight off cracked out nurses and monsters all the more difficult when you had to carefully lay everything on the floor so it didn't break.

Her next destination was her wardrobe. Rifling through the plastic bags that had been tossed around nights before, Tifa found her ice materia and tucked it away where it usually went: in her bra. She made sure Lightning couldn't see the awkward display and succeeding jiggle to make sure her girls were in place. A passing thought made her look to the radio on her desk, but she ignored it. She needed both hands to fight and the radio would get in the way.

It wasn't until the announcements were nearly over that it finally hit Lightning that Tifa had just offered to help her for the night. After two nights of simply going their separate ways... it was a little surprising; the young woman had to hide her reaction and then misgivings as she stood and finished getting ready to go out herself. It wasn't like she could complain though, of course, considering she hadn't had the chance to make any semblance of plans otherwise. That's what being locked up in solitary most of the day and then being too out of it afterward to attempt the bulletin would do.

"That would help," she remarked dryly to the 'purse' comment, really wishing she had her packs with her as she finished tying on a shoe. She reached for her own flashlight, although she didn't yet turn it on- no use, when Tifa's would probably do until they were at least out of their hallway. But unlike Tifa, she also picked up her own radio, remembering the message that had been broadcast before. It wasn't like she couldn't just ditch the ( ... )

"You know the big hallway by the Sun Room? That's usually where I meet up with my friend, so we'll try there. If he doesn't show up, we'll just find you something lethal on our own," Tifa suggested optimistically as they headed to the door. She wasn't sure what a gunblade was exactly--well, she gathered it was a gun and a blade in one--, but she held little hope that one would just be lying around waiting for a good owner. If nothing acceptable could be found in the institute, Tifa wouldn't mind giving Lightning her ring for the night so the woman could do some shopping in Doyelton.

"Ready?" Tifa asked before quietly opening the door and looking out into the hallway.

In part responsible meant that they totally would've done it anyway.

At least… that's what Yuffie thought. Kind of. Or-no, actually; she was too distracted by the weirdness going on in her own head to worry about anything else. "I don't get it," she said to herself, puzzled. "My name is… yeah, it's Yuffie-right? Right." But she only knew that because it was the name she'd given out to everybody who wasn't staff. She didn't know why she was called Yuffie; she didn't know where the name had come from, or who had given it to her. She didn't know why she knew how to throw the massive… shuriken… in her hand like it was a… uhm… "I'll get back to that one," she muttered, rubbing her head.

Oh, she remembered the night of Special Counselling. She remembered feeling freer than she had in weeks, and like she'd finally had back what was rightfully hers-both in terms of possessions, and in power. But how? Yuffie was just… "Super amnesia'd up," was the only guess she had. She rolled the words around on her tongue, frowning ferociously. " ( ... )

Mele raised her head from the desk and blinked blearily at the room. Where...? Oh, she'd-somehow-fallen asleep in the Sun Room after the disaster at breakfast. Then she'd been woken up and brought back here, where she'd put her head down.

Ugh, she'd missed most of the day, and on just the day when things changed drastically, too. Hopefully it wasn't too important.... Or if it was, hopefully she'd notice before she did something to get those guards on her. She'd be coughing literally to death.

That thought woke her up, and she went quickly around her half of the room to change and grab the flashlight. Once in the hall, she leaned on the wall, too bleary still to remember the map she'd copied this morning but unwilling to go back and get it, and after shaking her head, started along the familiar route she'd taken so many times before.

Soma remained still, almost motionless, as the intercom crackled out its message. So this was a military test. That General--Aguilar--he had taken charge of the building, and Landel--well, who knew? Had he been relieved of his duties, or removed in a more efficient, permanent manner? Had Aguilar been the one pulling the strings all along?

It didn't much matter. Her eyes hardened as she stood, pushing her chair back. She had had enough projects and tests to last her a lifetime. Both of her had.

Spear, flashlight, handgun. Her radio was tied into the bedsheet belt looping around her waist and across one shoulder. If the same changes that happened to the nurses here happened to the soldiers, she would need to be prepared.

Minako had never shown up for dinner.

It left Sakura with an uncomfortable twist in her stomach. She hadn't known the girl long, but she seemed to go through roommates with a regularity that was quickly becoming worrying. How many more before it was her that vanished instead? She dressed quickly once the night began, but ended up cutting her fingers twice on kunai as she packed them away. Come on Sakura, get your head in the game!

She clapped her cheeks a couple of times and reached for the door. There wasn't a plan so much tonight as she just... maybe wanted to happen to run into Sasuke. He was an ally and a teammate(even if he didn't believe so anymore), she was quick to justify the decision, and it wouldn't be proper to not support him. And stalking is a vulgar word.

By the time lights-out came, Taura had already neatly copied von Karma's notes and set the originals, the case files, and all of his other meager possessions in a pile on her bed. She looked at it, and then pulled the pillowcase from her pillow, folding it neatly beside the stack ( ... )

[from hereAs Franziska approached the room, she took care to ensure that no one saw her and that no one was in. Before she even thought of knocking, she brought her ear to the door and listened for the telltale sounds of someone moving around inside. When her investigation yielded nothing but silence, she rapped twice on the door with a knuckle and entered ( ... )
