M-A Block Hallway

He set off, a little man with a toothpick and a flashlight, past his room's hallway and into the adjoining one. To be frank, he hadn't really cared where Castiel was cooped up before. Of course the lack of knowledge was going to bite him in the ass. Big surprise there. While he didn't intend to stand in the hallway all night, leaning ( Read more... )

[Coming from here.]

Daemon stepped out into the main hallway and paused for a moment to get his bearings, sweeping his flashlight beam up and down the hall. Monsters rarely wandered this close to their rooms, so he took a moment to debate which direction he should head in. The board today had been filled with talk of a new wing that had been opened for the first time last night, so there was unexplored territory. But he was also itching to perhaps see if he could find this elusive entrance to the third floor he'd heard about today as well. He hadn't spent as much time on the second floor as the first, and the time he had spent there was for specific purposes.

He still wanted to find his way up more than out at the moment. He had a few debts to settle.

It was another goddamned hallway!

"Isn't there an exit around here? Damn!" Chipp chose this time to complain rather loudly about his situation, which proved to be a bad idea because he suddenly realized that he wasn't alone. It was difficult to not notice a flashlight beam hitting you in the face, and it was probably difficult not to hear his cursing at suddenly blinded. Well, damn!

There was no point in trying to run now, not that Chipp even considered doing that in the first place. Instead, he decided to be proactive and marched right up to the guy with the flashlight, assuming somewhat of a defensive stance and making sure that he'd be within arm's reach if the guy tried to run. There was no way he was going to pass up this chance for answers!

"Hey! What the hell's going on here?!"

Hey there was no punching, it can only get better from here! bastard_sadi September 13 2011, 02:03:30 UTC
If Daemon was taken aback by the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar face and the abrupt confrontation that followed a moment later, he gave no evidence of it, other than the slow arch of a single eyebrow. Directing his flashlight beam towards the floor to keep from blinding them both, he studied the young man for half a heartbeat before holding up a hand to stave off the inevitable rush of questions.

Odd. Four weeks of sleeping through this and things hadn't changed at all.

"Calm down. Are you new here? Did you just wake up?" he asked, although he was pretty sure he already knew the answer to that. Despite the male's somewhat defensive stance, Daemon remained relaxed, almost casual as he gave the other a once-over. "What's your name?"

YAY Chipp finally made a good first impression on someone.... chippforprez September 13 2011, 02:33:08 UTC
... Okay, this was not how Chipp expected this line of questioning to go. He was sort of expecting the guy to go 'What are you doing out here?!' and then there'd be a fight and Chipp would win and he'd be holding the guy up by the collar demanding answers from him. This was slightly less violent then Chipp imagined it, but... Well, he wasn't going to start shit if there was no reason to.

Though Chipp didn't look fully relaxed, he backed off for the time being and nodded at the guy's questions. Alright, this was getting weird. Was this guy the same as him, and not a guard or someone like that? It did kind of make sense that maybe whoever got him also got other people, though it wasn't like Chipp would have been surprised if he was just unlucky.

"... Name's Chipp. Chipp Zanuff," He said, seeing no harm in offering his name. "And yeah, I just woke up, so I guess that counts as new. What about you?"

"No, no, I'm far from new," Daemon answered with a shake of his head, leaning against his pole as he gave a quiet sigh. Fresh meat. Poor guy ( ... )

Since this guy was trying to help him, Chipp honestly did try to listen to what he was saying. And at the very least, he understood that this guy he met was named 'Daemon Sadi' and that he had been here for quite some time. So Chipp really did try to follow along and he got the idea that this place... was an asylum? Like for crazy people? But it wasn't actually? Wait, but they said it was? From all over the world? A lot of worlds? And then monsters ( ... )

Right, apparently his explanation hadn't been brief enough. Daemon bit back a laugh, because really, it wasn't funny, but it sort of was. "Pretty much," he drawled slowly, his tone wry as his golden eyes glinted with faint amusement.

At Chipp's question, he was shaking his head before the man even got the entire sentence out of his mouth. "Anything you might have had upon arrival is probably gone. They're very thorough about that. No one comes in with any advantage, it seems. They take weapons, clothing, anything that links us with home. Also there are people here who would have had... special abilities in their home realms. Many of them have lost those as well, or at least have had them severely restrained."

Daemon motioned to the makeshift staff he'd acquired in his time here. "Everyone makes do with what we can find or craft for ourselves. And most people travel in small groups. Safety in numbers, but not large enough to draw too much attention to the things hunting us."

Special abilities? Chipp rose a brow only to lower it in surprise when he realized that Daemon was right - That's what had been so weird about moving around! Chipp didn't realize until now, but he hadn't been able to channel his Ki into anything; in fact, it was like it wasn't there. He hadn't forgotten how to, but it was like grasping at air. Shit, the people behind this must have been serious.

"What the hell, how can they do all of that?!" Of course, Daemon probably didn't know, but Chipp couldn't hide his irritation and surprise. His weapons, his clothing... and even the ability that his Master taught him. All of it was gone! And what the hell was he supposed to do about this? Chipp had to do something about it after all, if not just for him, then the other people that were kidnapped too ( ... )

"Believe me, the first person that figures that out will be everyone's hero around here," Daemon sighed, absently rubbing a thumb against a finger that usually held a Jewel-mounted ring. He missed the comforting weight of it. He also missed that it was impossible to descend to the depths of his powers with his jewels gone. Then again, if he was able to descend to the Black, this place would have been a crater within five minutes of his arrival ( ... )

Luckily for Daemon, Chipp was not one to easily detect subtle sarcasm. On the other hand, what Chipp did like was meeting a guy who had a plan. Since their plans for the night matched up perfectly (with Daemon's plan having all of the actual details), it seemed natural that they should travel together tonight. Chipp happily shook the hand Daemon was offering, a little roughly before he turned around to face the great unknown that he just spent 20 minutes stumbling blindly around.

"Alright, then we should get going! The sooner we start, the sooner we can get out of here!"

Chipp left, heading towards the door he just came out of with great gusto. He strode right on through it, a man proud in his purpose and with a solid determination to bring justice down on the man responsible for his kidnapping. And then he remembered that he didn't exactly know how to even get on the second floor, yet he was attempting to lead them there. Plus, Daemon was the one with the flashlight ( ... )

Daemon stifled a laugh as he inclined his head in agreement. "With pleasure," he answered with a crooked grin. "Although you at least had the direction right. There should be stairs at the end of this hallway."
