Nightshift 32: West Wing, North Hall 1-A

[tyki_pon]

[From here]Tyki stepped into the hallway outside of the patient block, sweeping the beam of his flashlight around. As far as he could see, the hallway was completely empty. Not that the Noah minded; he was busy right now and any distractions would be way too bothersome

An empty hallway again. It seemed that not many patients were out this early at night. The monsters of the night seemed to hold the same opinion. Zexion made a mental note to leave early every night. It's much nicer without the crowds, he thought as he pushed open the door that would lead into the M-B block, if he remembered correctly.

Yue moved from the south hallway into the next one, which looked...well, more or less the same. This time, though, he caught sight of a flicker of light out of the corner of his eye, and when he glanced that direction his flashlight fell on a door just as it was closing.

After a quick check of the map, and mentally comparing this hall to the one he'd just been in, he decided that must be another block of patient rooms. He'd likely just seen a fellow patient moving on, but Yue still couldn't help but think about the warnings he'd been given and wonder at the apparent lack of danger so far. Waiting for something to happen was worse than it actually happening, sometimes.

Edgeworth aimed the flashlight beam low to the ground as he rounded the corner from one block to the next. This path was familiar; it seemed he had walked it every single night, save one, since he had been here.

As such, he wasn't really watching where he was going, aside from the flashlight beam on the ground, and didn't see the person standing in front of him. With a start, he walked right into the person, scalpels and notebook and radio falling from his pockets and hands.

"Ow - oh, Yue! I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me for being so distracted. Are you all right?"

It had already been quite obvious that he'd been weakened in this place, but this was definitely a bad sign -- Yue hadn't even sensed another's presence until the man had bumped into him, at which point it was quite obvious that he was there. The guardian staggered forward a step to regain his balance, grip tightening around the bat's handle in automatic reaction to a potential threat before he realized it was no monster.

Warnings of patients under the staff's control made him hesitate for a second, but when he spoke Edgeworth certainly sounded like he had before. And he seemed quite apologetic about it all, and not intent on harming Yue. "I am unhurt," he replied, blinking down at the assortment of items the other man had dropped.

"That's good. Again, quite sorry about the, well..." He trailed off, too embarrassed to keep speaking. He bent down and began shuffling objects back into his pockets, being sure he hadn't broken the radio or any of the scalpels. All of those seemed in order, which was good. He didn't see the notebook, which had fallen into a spot of shadow.

"I'm glad to see you've found something to defend yourself with," Edgeworth said, eyeing the bat warily. "That's important. Also...what did you make of that intercom message?"

Just beyond this door was the meeting point for his team. Archer noticed he wasn't alone in the hall, probably another patient. Well it didn't really matter to him.

"Come on, keep up." Zoro muttered, turning left as he passed through the door and heading in the completely wrong direction.

[misterprince]

"O-oi!" The chef called again, tone slightly different than the last time. He was not going to look needy in front of Zoro, damn it. No apologies. none of that. This wasn't fair.

He'd settle with just laying off the name calling for now.

"Zoro." His tone was blunt, but casual - expression set firmly into something neutral. "This way." Then he grabbed the man by the arm and pulled him towards the right hall.

If he'd needed confirmation that the scents belongs to Zoro and Sanji, Chopper had gotten it once he passed through the doorway. The steel scent was muddled here before it and the cigarettes and seafood one went to the right. If he had to guess, Zoro had tried going the wrong way...

Chopper headed towards the right, through more open doors into the next portion of the hallway.

Shadow walked out into the North Hall, looking around him cautiously. So far, so good but it was best not to wait around for a monster to show up. He wasn't going to push his luck.
