Nightshift 32: West Wing, North Hall 1-B
[[From here]]
It didn't take long for Yuuhi to hobble through the darkened hallway toward the main hall. He'd left as soon as he'd heard the door unlock and just kept going, quickly as he could, fear and anxiety driving him on. Much as he was afraid of what Sakura might know, it was even worse not knowing at all.

By the time he made it to the main hall Sync had alleviated his caution somewhat. He had brought the fontech along as a precaution, but it wasn’t exactly a necessity for him. Having been forced to adapt with impaired vision for a good three years, wandering around in the dark was at least marginally easier for him.
From what he remembered on the map the Recreational Field was to his left, while the next set of halls were to his right. The God-General gave a glance at either side before making his choice.

Danny passed through to the next hallway, walking slowly. It felt strange, walking through the hallways for the first time in two days. The first night he didn't remember how he got up on the second floor, and the second night he didn't even leave his room. It didn't feel 'foreign' to him, but it didn't feel 'nostalgic' either. Simply...familiar--a lot like hearing the Box Ghost's voice from behind when he hadn't been in Amity Park for a month or so.
He looked in both directions, wondering which to take next. The open doors obviously led to another part of the building--another hallway, if he remembered correctly. The other doors...those lead outside, didn't they?

There. He knew that person.
For a moment, Haku saw red, fury nearly causing him to act rashly. Only through extreme force of will and years of training did he manage to not leap out of the shadows and simply attack. He needed information first. The child's death would come later.
Scalpels slid neatly and silently into his hands and he threw them easily, aiming for the points in the glowing boy's back that would cause the most pain.

With a distinct yelp, he instinctively went intangible, two high-pitched clangs echoing as a pair of scalpels fell on the floor. Danny stared at them for a moment before turning around to see who had thrown it. Was it a monster? Did monsters even throw scalpels? Did that mean it was someone else? The pain in his back was a dull ache, but it throbbed. He could ignore it for now--he was more concerned about the fact that there was someone throwing scalpels at him.

Let Danny think that was all he had on him. Hiding them away again, he listened.

Clark took his time, not wanting to stumble on anything or anyone because he was in a rush. But his meeting with Kyon today and his "reunion" with Claire, if you could even call it that, had definitely got him worried. There had to be a way to reverse what Landels did to them.

The darkness continued, on and on forever, but River wasn't exactly afraid of it. Not any longer. It was more of a comfort that the fake lights and the cracked smiles held together by glue and willpower. Just a turn here, and a then she'd be upon it.
River paused, standing in the middle of the hallway on steel ropes as she looked up at the sky that wasn't there. A moment to breath with the life and the blood that hung in the air. It was breathing with her. It was breathing because of her.
Just a moment, a moment and then she'd move on.

He paused for a moment when he came to the door which cut off the room block from the rest of the Institute. It was already open, probably because of the people he'd heard moving around, but it was still a big step to take. It meant accepting that all of this was real. "This isn't that place," he murmured to himself. They couldn't punish him here for being out of his room at night. At least he hoped not. Someone would have mentioned it he was sure. Fai would have warned him (Allie, the very idea of a nickname made him smile slightly).
He stepped out into the main corridor, flicking on the flashlight for a few moments where he spotted a motionless figure standing in the middle of the corridor. His eyes widened, recognising the girl from lunch.
"River!" he called out softly, heading towards her with a look of concern on his face. It was odd because he'd only jsut met her, but she was like him, she understood things that no-one else did. "Are you alright?"

"Allie!" she chirped happily, prancing over to him as best she could while keeping her bad leg in mind. The rest of the injuries were relatively insignificant and could be ignored if battle were to ensue. Reaching up, just slightly to touch the long bangs that covered his other eye without actually drawing them up, she inspected him carefully.
"Functioning at full capacity. Even if full is perpetually half," River remarked automatically, satisfied with her assessment.

He flinched slightly at the touch to his hair, always nervous about having that part of himself possibly revealed, but River didn't do anything, just touched it, and he forced himself not to pull away. She knew, she knew already, he just hoped Hallelujah wouldn't see her as a thread.
He laughed softly at her tone when she told him how she was. "Our half is more than a lot of people's full," he said quietly.

Scar stepped into the next hallway, taking a moment to properly orienting himself. He knew the recreational field was to the left, and the main halls were to the right. Opting to remain inside for tonight, he headed into the next hallway.
