Night 56: Sun Room

[ninelivesonce]

[from here]

The sun room was quiet, with the artificial hush that came from snow blanketing the big windows. The halls upstairs weren't; while it wasn't quite a fight that had broken out up there, it was heading that way. Possibly irrevocably, as what the boy up there had just called the brainwash brigade didn't do negotiation. At all. Even if

The snowfall tapped like frantic fingers against the glass window of the Sun Room ceiling. Moonlight was fleeting at best, but the piling of snow and the thick lining of clouds produced an eerie glow that dimly lit the large room. The light wind seemed to rub against the glass in a toneless hum below the soft staccato of slush and ice. It grew above the snow as the patients continued unmolested through the the large room. A tune began to form, chipper and bright, despite the grim situation

That had worked better than Taura had dared to hope -- while she'd never had the equipment to experience it herself, could it really be that painful? Or was it just something psychological?

She ran. Two long strides brought her to the door where the shuriken still stuck out like a flag; a loud keeer-ack and it was back in her hand. She vaulted two couches and an end table, and bolted for the door.

There it was. No people-mover, no headlights, just a dark cafeteria, and she threw herself through.

For how ridiculous that fight had been, the result was advantageous, so Rita supposed she could let it slide. When Taura made a run for the door, Rita held her ground, her spell gaining form, as she kept an eye on the kid. If he attempted to give chase, or to attack Taura's back, she was ready to blast him. It looked like he wasn't getting up that soon, though. Taura really did a number on him.

... Well, good. Even if it was a kid, that was what he deserved for getting in their way.

Rita canceled her spell, and the red light surrounding her dispersed and faded. Turning sharply, she quickly followed Taura into the Cafeteria.

"No! Wait! WAIT!" Goku howled on the floor. They were running away! This fight was not over by a long shot!

"You cowards!" Hefting his heavy staff over his squatting body, Goku willed it to grow long and directed it toward the two girls. It slid across the room, aiming to sweep their legs, but it was no good. There was too much furniture in the way.

"Hey--No! Come back I... I wasn't done fightin'..."

Aww man!
