Nightshift 30: F21-F30 Hallway.

Feb 26, 2008 11:33

((taking place in room F25 specifically))Dinner had been alright. She had somehow avoided talking to anyone, which was both good and bad. The good part was, unless it had been someone she knew, she didn't have to talk to anyone. While she felt considerably better after meeting Rena, she couldn't stop her mind from going back to being strapped to ( Read more... )

During the small amount of time between the end of dinner and when the voice from the box on the wall talked about someone she didn't know being stabbed a bunch, Falis had managed to once again obtain the wooden rod from her closet and another short metal bar from her bed. It sucked that she didn't have a blade, but this was infinitely better than being unarmed.

Not that being unarmed would have stopped her.

Slipping the short bar into her waistband, she took the hand-held lantern and went to the door as soon as it unlocked. She paused as she opened the door, rest the wooden rod upon her shoulder, and looked back at her roommate.

"Oi! Usagi! I've got to go laugh at some pansy magic-user that thinks he's special," she said. She then jerked head in the direction the hallway lead. "I'll be in the bathroom at the end of the hall. Come get me when you and your friends are ready to go."

With that, the bounty hunter turned princess disappeared into the hallway.

"Err... okay..." Usagi answered with a sigh. "Just don't get in trouble?" she mumbled quietly, mostly to herself since Falis had already taken off down the hallway.

The senshi grabbed her goody bag, her flashlight and then looked thoughtfully at her radio. The big boss man said he killed the radio guy... but she stuffed it in her bag anyway and exited her room.

Beatrix moved silently from the next hallway over, heading to Mion and Celes' room. For the moment, her flashlight was off as it wasn't needed. What was needed was one final visual confirmation that Mion was still hanging in there (and doing what she was told) and the shard of glass she'd be using as a weapon.

She stopped at the closed door and listened carefully, hearing movement within. Wondering if Celes had already left, the Bride knocked on the door.

Re: F25 inb4crazy February 27 2008, 03:49:11 UTC

Mion blinked when she heard the knock. She wasn't expecting anyone to show up, but who knew, maybe someone was coming to pay a visit? Curious, the girl stopped with the matress and opened the door to see... Arlene? She had figured the woman would be out killing things and/or protecting Hanyuu or something by now.

"Ehhhh, hey there! What's up?" Mion asked, moving back to let Arlene come in.

Re: F25 quickdrawbkiddo February 27 2008, 04:16:17 UTC

Beatrix gave Mion a warm smile when the girl greeted her and stepped inside, closing the door securely behind her.

"Oh, I need to pick up the weapon I loaned Celes last night," she said, her eyes flickering over the room, looking for which desk was Celes'. "I also wanted to see how you were fairing before I left to do what I have to do tonight."

She patted Mion on the shoulder, lightly, and then gestured at the mattress. "Want my help while I'm here?"

Re: F25 inb4crazy February 27 2008, 04:29:38 UTC

"The weapon...?" Mion hadn't seen anyone carrying any weapons before... maybe Arlene got it last night while Mion was... Stopping that train of thought before it got too far, Mion gave Arlene a grin at her question. Maybe she though she would try to shirk her... balance training? That was one thing to call it. "Well, thanks! I haven't actually started yet, but I think I'll do okay..."

"Ahh, help?" Mion looked back at the mattress, and then sheepishly back up at the older woman. "Ahahaha, well... if you want to I wouldn't refuse."

Ururu had been ready for night shift, or so she thought. But when the doors clicked open, something else happened, something the girl hadn't been expecting. The markings showed up again, a snake and some sort of flower, something Ururu might have thought pretty if it hadn't hurt.

And if the visions hadn't come back.

It was the pain of the night before all over again, the feeling of failure worse than Ururu had ever known. And Kisuke-san...Kisuke-san...

But Ururu tried to fight past it, everything she saw and thought she saw, the way her arm ached. She wanted to cry, to cringe and hide from it all, but people were waiting on her. Rukia was counting on her, and she didn't want to fail again.

So she bit her lip hard, and headed quickly out of the door, barely pausing to look as she ran through the halls.

The annoucement over the intercom made no sense to Willow, but judging from the tone of the announcer, it would mean something to some of the other patients. Something not good. Willow sighed and sat down heavily on the mattress as the door locks clicked open. She was so tempted to get up and go out now, to find that library. Her fingers were itching with the anticipation of once again holding good 'ol reliable research books. But she forced herself to stay and wait for Angel. And possibly Anya ( ... )

Scanning the rooms lined up down the hallway, Angel stopped in front of the one labelled F23.

He knocked lightly on the door, hoping Willow had given him the right room number. She hadn't sounded too sure and he really didn't want to have some innocent girl opening up only to find a stranger standing there.

"Willow," he said, figuring he should let her know just who was wanting in. "It's me."

light_wicca February 27 2008, 02:07:53 UTC

Willow turned the flashlight over and over in her hands, still trying to make sense of everything. Of what all this actually was. It might have been a bit too much to hope that this place, the way it kept up a pretense of a harmless mental hospital during the day, would have anything all that useful in the library. But it never hurt to try, and Willow was never one to pass up research opportunities.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. She quickly stood up, but hesitated before stepping over to open it. Signum had never mentioned anything about monsters entering rooms, but you could never be too careful. She was about to ask who it was when the question was answered for her.

Breathing a small sigh of relief, Willow opened the door and stepped back to let him in. "Angel. Hi." She tried to see further past him into the dark hallway. "Did you see Anya?"

blurred_divide February 27 2008, 02:45:02 UTC

Angel shook his head and stepped inside. "I haven't seen her."

He hoped she hadn't run into any trouble-she'd seemed unusually enthusiastic about getting together at night. Although given she was a demon, there probably wasn't as much to be worried about, either. Probably.

Lingering by the doorway for a moment before he stepped further inside, he searched for something else to say. A few seconds of silence ticked by as he came up blank. How've you been doing? or How're things in Sunnydale? didn't sound right anymore after everything that'd been said at dinner.

When he'd arrived, he stood outside her door for a moment. He couldn't knock. He didn't even know if she was still inside or not, but... but he'd have seen her if she'd left, wouldn't he? And she'd promised to stay here. Allen sighed and shifted his weight. Should he even try? As long as he protected her, that would be enough, wouldn't it?

With a sigh, he took a seat across the hall from her door, too tired to remain standing for long.

Rinali lay in bed for a while after the doors unlocked. Today had been rough for her, and tomorrow didn't seem any more promising. Still, after a day of mourning, some of what had been said the night before started to stick into her head. Maybe the cruel-hearted girl had been right. Maybe the Komui she saw wasn't real. It was possible, she reasoned, that this was just a false illusion.

After what seemed like hours of debating in her head, she came to a decision. She had to know.

She undid the bandage on her face briefly to check the wound before reapplying it. The wound from the night before had mostly healed, though it was still a little sore. She put on the indoor slippers and went to the door. Maybe I'm just being hopeful, she thought to herself. But if there's a chance....I have to know.

She opened the door to her room, and saw Allen sitting there. She took a step back. "Allen..." she said quietly. "What are you doing here?"

Re: Outside F28 broken_exorcist February 29 2008, 06:40:38 UTC

He was exhausted. After last night and everything today, it was easy to just let his eyelids start to close. He tucked in his knees tightly to his chest. He would just rest his head for a moment, he told himself, not longer than a moment. He hadn't even noticed as Rhode pranced down the hall and right past him ( ... )

Re: Outside F28 boot_i_licious February 29 2008, 06:51:25 UTC

She wasn't ready to hear his apologies. She didn't want to even think about the fact that Allen was the one who had done it. "Don't," she said, holding back the pain in her chest that made her want to yell at him for no good reason. "Just Don't..."

She wiped away another tear that began to fall. "I'm going to go back there." she said, trying to sound more resolved than she actually felt. "Are you coming?"
