Nightshift 34: M21-30 Hallway

Aug 14, 2008 13:13

Wolfram had debated slowly as to whether or not he should go out for the night. He was still really worn out from the night before, Aidou was busy, he had no idea where anyone else was that he should be looking for, and quite honestly... staying in and sleeping was more than a little tempting. But his mind was troubled, and he felt a bit restless ( Read more... )

Here they were, another round of nightshift exploration and, hopefully, work to be done. Adelheid sincerely hoped that he'd get his chance to do something, anyway; this new system seemed like it just might work, it all depended on how well he could keep track of time.

Regardless, for now, he stepped out of the room with Zuko's blade and a flashlight, his eyes narrowing as he glanced down the hallway. He should be going, but... perhaps he'd wait just a second for Edward first. After that he could run to Hattori in the bathroom.

Ugh. Roommates. He hated sharing rooms with people. Hunny had been alright and he'd been Tamaki's friend, even Hiei he'd got used to, but this one? It just put the edge onto his temper, having to deal with Neil or whatever his name was. Damn bratty kid.

He was still snarling under his breath when he walked out of his room, dressed in his normal clothes, red coat flaring out behind him. He was going to kill Envy tonight. He didn't doubt that Winry had gone to the library to meet that person claiming to be her father, but Ed also had very strong suspicions about who had actually posted it. Envy would die and then Tamaki and Winry would be safe.

"...Edward." Adelheid unconsciously stood in the middle of the hallway, just to block Edward's path. He had a strange look in his eyes, and the narrowing there put Adelheid on edge. Anger he'd seen plenty of, but not this kind of absolute hatred. It was the kind of anger that made people do very, very stupid things.

That was why Adelheid assured himself that he'd come along, to make sure Edward stayed safe. Normally he might not have bothered, especially if it had been in his own world. But Edward was his friend, and whatever hurt him made Adelheid even more determined to stop whatever it was.

Ed growled in irritation and stopped a few feet away from Adel, looking up at the other boy and putting his hands on his hips, unconciously challenging. He didn't want to be stopped, didn't need people to get in his way.

"What?" he growled. "I have to go somewhere." And getting Adel involved would just make things difficult, would just get him hurt.

Although Near highly doubted that with the patient population being as dense as it was, Landel would target out a single individual for torment, he equally doubted the possibility that Mello would see it that way. The man's announcements were perfect for striking every nerve of Mello's ego, meaning he would be even more on edge when he arrived at M34 for his appointment ( ... )

Hopefully tonight would be as productive as last night. Itachi grabbed his flashlight and the bag of items he had hid under his bed before heading out to M13. It couldn't be hard to find; the room numbers must make logical sense.

Landel had mentioned Special Counseling happening again tonight -- in fact, he had himself given an important insight into the process. Chemicals, then, not some sort of mind-control technique. But why did the chemical effect only last one night, and how could they be sure to time it so exactly? Perhaps he could glean some information from tonight's victims come morning. Or perhaps he would run into one of them tonight, and prove to himself that he had not become so weak. . . which would only inconvenience him. As would running into Sasuke, not that Itachi gave that possibility any consideration. He would never waste his time like that.

Valyn couldn't quell the feelings of disquiet and unrest he felt as he headed out for the night. Even though he was only going to spend the night with Shadow...

He didn't know how much longer he could take his cousin being like this. Despite assurances that Shadow was still in there, still himself somewhere under it all....

Fretting and fussing over it wasn't going to do him any good. Valyn didn't bother getting changed, just conjured a mage light and headed into the hallway, not wanting to hold up Shana and Keman anymore than he already had.

[From here.]

Elena smirked to herself in satisfaction as she looked up at the room number in front of her. Number thirty, which happened to be the very first door in this area. Tseng would have been proud of her navigational skills. And assuming that Reno didn't accidentally tell her the wrong number, he should be here. Perhaps she'd get a few more answers than what he'd told her earlier in the day.

Checking the hallways one last time to make sure that she hadn't been followed, she knocked twice on the door, waiting for an answer.

Reno was twirling his pipe idly as he waited for either his partner or the rookie to show up, and while he'd expected Rude to get there sooner, Elena had apparently made it first.

Maybe Rude was still tetchy and taking his sweet time. Heh. Either way, Rude didn't knock--not when it came to Reno--so it was either Elena or a complete stranger.

He shifted, but didn't move from his spot on the bed. Mostly because he didn't want to get up, but also because standing in front of a door made him way too easy of a target to get his face bashed in by a good shove.

"S'open."

He wasn't even going to open the door for her? Elena rolled her eyes. Typical Reno, she supposed. Well, as long as he didn't make any remarks about her taking too long to get here, she'd keep the comment to herself. Although it wouldn't be easy.

Opening the door, Elena stepped in before closing it behind her, giving the redhead an exhasperated look.

"Okay, I'm here," she announced, walking over towards the bed Reno was laying on. She sat down before he could protest, not sitting on him, but her hips did touch his side. "So now what?"

Reno kept his gaze to the ceiling, but did glance briefly at her. He moved his leg when she sat down to make its contact with her hip more than just accidental touching, the motion casual but oh-so-intentional. What? She'd set herself up for it. She knew better than to play chicken with him.

"We wait," he replied simply, digging out a pen cap to chew on before sitting up and heading for his closet. Clothes, clothes...He pulled off his shirt, paying no mind to Elena's presence. Like he'd ever give a damn.

She might, though, which would make this far more entertaining than it'd normally be.

Ah, he had missed having Elena and Rude around to bother. Easy targets weren't hard to find, but ones as easy as them were rare.

"Rude should be coming in a bit, unless he's dragging his ass."
