Such a long hallway. Shion found herself frowning from boredom as she finally entered another hallway, a closed door coming into her view. Yes, a closed door, and -

Wait a minute.

Shion’s eyes narrowed through the dark, and she quickly shut off her flashlight. There, in front of her, heading into the room … a flash of green hair. Instantly the teenager froze up, her eyes wide as she took in the situation. It couldn’t be … Mion, could it? Could Mion be in the asylum as well? Her sister was dead - she had seen to that. Was it possible that she had ended up in the same place?

Only one way to find out. Moving slowly after the figure in front of her, Shion carefully made her way into the room, her flashlight off as she crept through the darkness and towards her target.

He must have really been making good time, since the area in front of the sun room was completely clear when he got there. Peter could hardly believe it, and there was a small strut to his step as he traveled down the hall toward the open double doors that would lead into the larger room.

He couldn't help peering in. The sun room looked completely empty, but he knew that it was almost a guarantee that something would attack the moment he stepped foot in there.

Since he wasn't even sure they would be going that way (apparently that was how you got to the basement, but he didn't know much more than that, so it would probably be pointless), Peter was content to lean against the wall next to the doors, figuring that there was no way Harry could miss him.

[ ooc: He's waiting for Harry, but feel free to have your character come say hi to Spidey if they're passing through and you feel like it. 8D ]

[from here]The area ahead looked pretty deserted, compared to some of the halls he'd gone through before. Looking around for Peter, it took him a second to notice the figure dressed in depressingly familiar red and blue

Considering how bad the visibility was, Peter hadn't been aware of Harry's presence until his friend chose to walk over to him, completely missing how he had hesitated. That might have been for the best, since his mood didn't need to be ruined when he was feeling good for the first time in a while.

A smile could be heard in his tone as he replied, "Fancy seeing you here." It was nice to just joke around, even when they were caught in the pitch dark with monsters and brainwashed patients and whatever else waiting for the perfect chance to strike.

"Glad you made it all right." Peter was also glad that he had trusted Harry enough to find the way on his own, though he wondered if his friend had remembered to take note of his room number. If their rooms happened to be close, it would be a lot easier to just meet up that way in the future.

Leaning against the wall next to Spider- Peter, Harry replied "I was in the area, thought I'd stop by." He looked Peter over thoughtfully. It was weird thinking of the scrawny, self-conscious Peter Parker he went to school with running around in such a form fitting outfit, stopping trains and fighting crime. He still couldn't believe he hadn't noticed the change in his best friend

[Brock's just passing through from here]

Something's around here.

His symbiote had that sixth sense that wasn't Parker's creepy spider-sense, but, trying to take a cautious sniff, Brock couldn't smell anything. It just smelled...dead. Empty. Not like during the day, with the chemicals and the Spider, the other patients and Parker again. But somehow his symbiote was convinced something worthwhile was in the area and began pumping up the adrenaline in their shared body in anticipation - it was a experience which took getting used to, getting that flight-or-fight switch flicked on for you by someone else, and Brock could feel his heart rate increasing in response giving him the good kick in the ass that would hopefully help him kick someone (or something) else's ass.

He turned toward the Entry Room doors.

"I promise," he said, "this will be fun for the both of us."

Almost there. While he'd no wish to enter through the Sun Room, there was little choice (aside from going upstairs and jumping down from the balcony, then sprinting into the Game Room, but, as much as X liked them, he was not a cat. And he did not like heights). Cards to his side, he continued on his way.

Sora was glad for the short trip - it was part of the reason why he chose this hallway as a meeting place so often. While there were a few other patients around, he was pretty sure that none of them were the people he was supposed to meet up with, though that one guy was wearing a pretty weird costume!

Since two people were already near the doors that led in the sun room, Sora lingered a little closer to the patient blocks, figuring that he would be able to catch sight of Allen, at least, when he showed up. He just hoped he had the right people in mind, though he could always call out to any patients who passed by just to make sure they weren't who he was looking for.

He glanced down at his radio, wondering when it was going to go off, and prepared to remember as much of the message as he could once it did.

It didn't take Allen long to make the trip from his room to the center of the hallway, right in front of the Sun Room. Sora was easy enough to recognize. He'd seen the boy a few times around the place, but most notably was when he'd gone on the rescue mission with Renji. Allen had been... something of a mess then, a mistake he hoped would not be repeated.

The glow of his one red and black eye was visible a few moments before he was, but he greeted the other boy with a friendly smile and a wave. "Sora, right?" he asked, his accent only slightly noticeable. "I'm Allen. Ah... Rinali should be along shortly." He was a little surprised she wasn't here yet. She was much faster than he was even without her boots, when she put her mind to it.

[scintillatingly]

As he had waited, Sora had watched the few patients who had passed him, surprised at how some people would walk right into the sun room without a moment of preparation. He wasn't sure if they were reckless, confident, or just didn't know how dangerous that was.

He'd fought the urge to follow after them to at least give a warning, knowing that he might miss Allen and Rinali if he went running off. After some more waiting, he finally caught the familiar face from however many nights ago, also taking note of the way his eye glowed. Weird! But Allen must have been used to it, since he was acting like it was normal.

Sora returned Allen's smile and his wave, glad to see that he seemed to be in better spirits now. "Yeah, that's me. It's nice to meet you for real," he greeted. "Is Rinali the girl who was in that big group the other night?"

[broken_exorcist]

"Nice to meet you too," Allen replied automatically. He was glad that the boy seemed like a nice person. After dealing with Aidou, he was feeling a little worn out.

"Mmhmm, Rinali and I are from the same world. We... worked together before we were brought here," he explained. But they were more than just co-workers, right? They were still friends. Even if things had gotten a little bit... complicated. "There's a couple others too, but... I haven't really seen them for a while."
