Nightshift 31: F-A Block Hallway
[from here]
Anya was beginning to feel the adrenaline as she rounded the corner. Those zombie dogs the first night hadn't really counted as a fight. She hadn't been in a real fight since... since Buffy.
Oh dear god, what if this Kimbley guy had superpowers like Buffy, only his were way better than Buffy's? That was entirely possible, Buffy's ( Read more... )

She had to hurry to M1. The room seemed a bit farther than it actually was, since she couldn't move very fast while she couldn't even see the ends of the hallways. Anise held her pipe low in front of her, using it to keep track of where the walls were, so she wouldn't lose her bearings in the darkness. The girl felt a little silly, using her makeshift weapon like it was a blind woman's cane, but she supposed she would feel a lot sillier if she ended up walking nose-first into a wall. She had to protect her cute face, after all.
Anise was glad to find that the door at the end of the hall had already been opened. It would have been a pain to fumble with the knob while her hands were full! She couldn't wait to get rid of all this junk she was lugging around.

The hallway was relatively quiet, so Naminé didn't have anything to worry about at the moment. As long as she was quiet and didn't draw attention to herself, she should be OK. It seemed to work for her most of the time.

Falis came out of the hallway where her room was with a boldness most likely not seen by many in Landels. Her mind was focused upon her hunt and the hallway just outside this one was the best place to start. By examining the scene of the attack, a skilled tracker can find what direction the assailant came from and what direction it fled in. That was where she would truly begin her hunt.
Except... there was someone trying to be sneaky around the other two women conversing in the hallway. The princess trained her torch upon the... young girl?
"Oi! You there - girl!" Falis called out to the thin girl caught in the beam projected by the torch. The first thing the bounty hunter noticed, as she approached, was that this girl was too short to be the vampire she was hunting. That meant..
"Are you trying to be eaten by wandering around alone at night? You know, there are vampires around." Didn't this girl read the boards?

Naminé looked curiously at the other commanding girl who approached her. Eaten? Vampires? This was the first time Naminé had heard of vampires in the Institute. Clearly, she should have paid attention to the bulletin board, but...
"I... I don't have anyone to travel with," Naminé tried to explain her rather foolish actions. Yes, yes, she knew it was dangerous to travel alone, but she had no one to go with. At least, no one that she was willing to go out and find. She was sure Kairi and Sora had more important things to do and Axel probably did as well.
It looked like this girl was alone too, but for all Naminé knew, she was just going to meet up with others. It was probably best not to keep her.

"Unless you've got a knife hidden on you somewhere, traveling alone is pretty damn stupid around here," the bounty hunter stated. "Especially with a vampire that likes to eat young girls running about."
She jerked a thumb at herself and smirked. "I'm going to find it and kill it."
Suddenly acting as if the girl was coming along with her, Falis walked a bit toward the door. "It attacked last night in the hallway just outside here. I plan to start tracking it there, so we might get lucky and find it quickly." She adjusted the wooden spear on her shoulder. "Got experience fighting bloodsuckers?"

Making her way through the halls, Naomi tried very hard to get her mind to focus on one thing. Arlene, L, the institute, the Head Doctor's rather telling announcement, anything. Anything would be better than having so many things on her mind at once.
She wouldn't be able to do her job with a clouded head.
She ran a hand through her hair and turned into the adjoining hallway.

Careful to not spill the contents in her makeshift bag, Rena rounded the turn and headed straight for the exit.

So far, so good.
Hanyuu clicked the flashlight on long enough to do a quick sweep of the hallway, then clicked it off once more. Light was likely to attract something to her, and that was something she didn't want. Plus, she had been this way every night; she was confident she could make it to the main area without a light.
