Night 59: Main Hallway, 1-West

Kirk ran into the main hallway and found nothing there except more pink light coating everything. His gut feeling said that if something was happening, it should've happened already, but he was a loss to explain what was going on. The system (if he could call it that, vague as it was to describe the whole Landel's torture/

"...so anyway," Niikura said as they entered the next hall, "what I was thinkin' is of pokin' around here some more. I keep hearin' about this 'basement' all over the place. Apparently, it's supposed to be pretty dangerous, and--sorry, Nagasawa, I know we shouldn't be doin' anything that's got the D-word associated with it, but I can't help it--anyway, where was I...oh. Right. Basement. We're goin' there."

He was rambling again, but only to distract everyone from the smell of the hall around them and the number of bodies littering the ground. Thankfully, none of them were human...well, if they were, he wasn't looking, if only to keep everyone else from looking too.

"So I mean, what do we need? More stuff, right? Sharper stuff, that is. Kitchen would probably be a good place to go by, y'know?"

Now that Niikura was bandaged up, Mike was fine with letting them continue. They had plans to finish--or, well, it seemed that Niikura did at least. Mike was just along for the ride. Niikura might've been younger than him, but he was the most experienced with this place. He wasn't an idiot, either. Letting him lead them from one goal to the next made sense. Mike knew he wasn't a leader in the slightest, and he trusted Niikura enough not to screw this up.

But then Niikura opened his mouth, and Mike could only think of one word: smooth. It seemed like Niikura's lady friend was distracting him a bit. Mike filed that away for future reference--both as something that might be dangerous during battle and something to tease Niikura about at a later time.

"Kitchen works for me, if it hasn't already been raided," Mike agreed. "If anythin', we can fashion weapons from flatware with enough patience."

[oneman_onekill]

Patience. Hah. Who had time for patience?

"Cool. Should be near the cafeteria, right?" Having never been inside the Sun Room at night in his life, Niikura had no idea that usually, all sorts of even more dangerous (Dangerous, for future reference) things were lurking around that particular room. If he'd known, he might have been just a little more concerned about this particular venture, but he didn't know, and so he was just eager to get out of this hall because frankly, it was a little disturbing even to him.

"I'll just keep leadin' the way." He nodded encouragingly to Shiina and kept walking, pointedly holding his breath for as long as possible, until they reached the entrance to the Sun Room.

[also skipping Shiina with permission!]

You had plenty of time for patience after you were dead.

"No, it's near the Chapel," Mike rolled his eyes slightly.

He followed Niikura along, deferring again to his friend to lead them. Niikura was the experienced one, so he had to rely on his judgement. Mike trusted him enough for that now. It was too badly, really, that he wasn't even thinking that the teenager hadn't been in the Sun Room at night before. Niikura seemed too confident for that to be the case.

Yup, there was a good chance they were going to get into some trouble shortly. Turtle Luck true to form.

Niikura shot Mike a look. "Thanks." Seriously.

He opened the door to the Sun Room and stood aside to let the other two in first before following them in.
