Night 57: Walk-in Refrigerator

[ninelivesonce]

[from here]The cold storage was, as usual, cold. Taura stopped to make herself a second snack: several kinds of what looked like vat-meat from how even the loaves were, wrapped around some sliced cheese, like a sandwich with lighter meat substituting for the bread around the darker. She held it in her mouth as she grabbed a box of fudge ripple

The inside of the fridge was cold, but compared to the weather outside, it was perfectly bearable. In there, Anise was able to see more traces left by people who had gone ahead of them: food out of place, packaging left on shelves, the tile in the corner had already been moved... While she couldn't guess at who had come in before them, it was clear where they had gone.

"Looks like we're almost there," she told the others with a small smile, but she couldn't help but worry about whoever had gone ahead of them. She probably needed to worry about herself and her friends a little, too... There was no telling what was in store for them.

It was a little unsettling to see clear signs that other people had passed through here before them. That meant there were people down there, maybe even in the coliseum. For a moment, Claude felt regretful that he'd been unable to properly warn anyone, but he'd done his best to dissuade those who showed interest in exploring the basement. Unfortunately, Landel had done something to prevent him for telling the whole truth of what happened down there

It was obvious that they weren't the first ones to make it here, which was not surprising when considering the fact that they'd had to reroute to such an extent. Guy still thought they'd been moving pretty fast, though, and now they were so close he could almost taste it.

Not that he really knew what they were about to face would taste like. Chances were it wouldn't be anything good.

Guy actually took some pleasure in the coldness of the room, mainly because he knew they were only going to be in here for a short while. He nodded in response to Claude's suggestion and moved ahead of him and Anise to head down the revealed staircase.
