Nightshift 31: East Wing, North Hall 1-B
[ Coming from here.]
The halls were dark and quiet as Tyler slipped out into an even larger corridor. Trying to remember where he'd met Reid the night before, he searched up the hall to his left and right, hesitating, uncertain which direction to go. Debating a moment later, he finally turned right and started down the long corridor.

Now to the right. Left led outside, and Leon really didn't want to be outside on his own right now. He flipped the light on now, as the further in he moved, the more likely he was to run into something with gnashing teeth...

Saetan could move quickly and quietly when the halls were this quiet. He hoped they stayed that way, for the moment anyway.

Hanyuu continued to walk in the dark, not wanting to use her flashlight until absolutely necessary.
There didn't seem to be anyone else in the hall yet, which was more than a little unnerving. Was she somewhere she shouldn't be? Were things this way known to be dangerous?
Again, the spirit had to stop herself from turning and running in the opposite direction. She was most likely just scaring herself with those thoughts. It was still early, after all. That was probably why things were so quiet...

The hallway was already filled with activity, so Archer saw no harm in turning on his flashlight. He carefully aimed it at the floor, so he didn't attract any unwanted attention.
His eyes flicked to his map. Okay this seemed to be the right way. The women's rooms should be through that door, down the hall, and then to the... His attention was drawn to a nearby shadow that seemed to be going is circles, as if she were afraid of what laid waiting in the dark.
"Hanyuu?" he softly called, lowly shining his light in her direction.
He really had no basis for this brilliant deduction, for all he knew it could have been another child. Although Archer hoped it was his acquaintance from breakfast, at least that way he wouldn't look like an idiot.

Hanyuu was once again ready to turn and go back to the more familiar route, when someone called to her. She had gotten more used to people calling and talking with her during the day, but night was still a different story. That was likely due to her being even more nervous once night fell, though.
She jumped visibly and would've likely fled the area, had she not realized that she recognized the voice.
"A-Archer!" The spirit couldn't help but smile, and she turned on her flashlight in order to confirm his identity. Hurrying closer to him, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I thought you might need this," he replied, taking out a copy of his map. "Here, this map should have most of the unlocked areas of the first and second floor."
Archer already had plans for tonight, so he felt a little bad about leaving Hanyuu alone.
"What are you doing here?" he asked with some concern. "Are you by yourself?"

The warlock kept moving ahead, pointedly focussing only on where his flashlight illuminated the floor ahead, and anything possibly about to try and chew off an appendage. Every time his flashlight struck a pair of feet ahead of him, though, he'd do a quick appraisal and keep going. But as he started up the hall, one such check revealed Tyler in all his familiar-faced glory, causing Reid to put an end to it. Once he found the other warlock, it wasn't necessary to pay any attention to the others.
"Over here," said Reid, with a tone slightly hushed in the dark. That, and he just still wasn't in the mood to talk--or confess, or explain, or anything.

It was worth saying.
He gave Tyler a surreptitious once over, not going so far as to ask 'How are you?' and pretend like he still wasn't a little pissed. He looked better than how he had last night... or at least Reid thought so. Glancing down at the flashlight in his hand for second, he looked back up, and said, "Try your magic again."

Then he heaved an internal sigh at the command, almost regretting the effort to reach for the Power that hadn't been there for days. It's absence was like a gaping hole, but he obeyed, lifting his hand and concentrating with all his might on the flashlight Reid held, trying to draw it to his hand, even while part of his mind resigned itself to nothing happening.
To his shock and delight, Reid's flashlight slammed into his palm with enough force to hurt and momentarily send the light dim before it bounced crazily against the ceiling.
"Shit, it worked!"

Ken noted others in his surroundings as soon as he exited out of the block but did not stop to pick out a familiarity. His teammate was likely further down the hallway and thus, stopping here would not be wise idea.
