[From here]Junior left the door open as they got inside, glancing back to make sure nothing followed them in, and then looked around the room. It was hard to see if there was anything waiting for them in here, but it also looked like they had some useful stuff. Might as well take the risk, since they'd taken another just to get the door open ( Read more... )

Anything live?

Wash glanced into the nearest dark corner instinctively. "I'll be sure to do that."

He picked a bottle off the shelf and peered at the label. There was no common name he recognized, but the chances of a few being painkillers of some kind were high. He grabbed a couple and turned around to look at the rest of the room.

That was a...really old computer over there. Ancient-old, actually.

"Maybe we could split duties," he said. "It'd be faster if we could pilfer and hack at the same time. Faster is better, right?"

Atoli slid into the room behind the two of them, quickly closing the door as soon as she was inside. She didn't know if doing so was a good idea or not, although it did leave their presence inconspicuous to whoever was outside. It would be bad if they had found their way in here, right?

Right! The lock had been broken so it would be easy enough to go right back out.

She slowly made her way in further, inspecting all the corners of the room (as well as one could with so many shelves and only a flashlight). Eventually her eyes were drawn to the machine Junior and Wash had spotted as well. Aha ha, how ironic this was! Here she was, in her PC, and right there was a computer. What a strange turn of events ( ... )

"Sounds good to me," Junior replied, picking up a bottle and looking at the label. Aspirin wasn't very familiar to him, but it said something about relieving pain, so he figured it would work. He tossed it in the pillowcase and then reached for a few more bottles. "It's not daytime, so we won't get caught. Nothing to worry about."

Not where the computer was concerned, at least; they would be in more trouble with the nurses if they got caught at night rather than the day, but hopefully that would help convince her. "Could you gimme a hand with these, Atoli?" he asked her, holding up one of the bottles. At least one of them was calcium tablets, which might come in handy for Usopp, but he didn't know much about the others. "Wash, think you can hack it?"

"Don't worry," Wash replied, moving over the computer. "I'm very discreet. I can type quietly."

It wasn't his main area of expertise, but he did have some experience and it felt good to be have something to do that didn't make him feel completely out of his depth. Being within depth was always better.

Besides, the computer was almost an archeological artifact. It probably didn't have the usual levels of security.

[from here]

Beatrix eased the door quietly open in the dark. She saw light from other flashlights and, figuring there must not be any creatures inside, went all the way inside. Once Donna was through, she quietly closed the door.

"Seems like we aren't the only ones with this idea," she said in a low voice to Donna. "I'm in too much pain for conversation with people I don't know or give a shit about, so I'm planning on avoiding them."

She clicked her flashlight one and slowly moved it about the room, taking care to not shine it too long on the other occupants and certainly not in their eyes. Nope, no one she recognized.

"There's more than enough here for us all to share," she said, moving to a shelf. She started reading labels, keeping her injured arm's movements to a minimum and her knife in a non-threatening position. There was no need for any conflict here. She cared nothing for the computer the others were gathered by.

"Well whispering about it isn't going to change anything," Donna returned, letting her voice be a more sensible room level than whispering. So there were others in here. Who cared? It wasn't like they were going to disturb them given the situation. "So, we're looking for medicine right?"

She strolled in, giving the other three looks just in case they hadn't realized that there were others looking for some thing, and approached a cabinet that looked promising.

"I wasn't whispering," Beatrix replied with a cold look. "I was simply trying not to disturb their conversation over yonder."

The Bride picked a couple bottles up and read the labels before putting them in the oven mitt tied to her side. "Yes. Look for stuff you recognize as well as any oxycodone or vicodin. If you find any of that, I'd like it right away."

"They'll deal. I'm not wasting my energy to be courteous considering what we're stuck doing." Donna never had been one for manners outside of particular environments. Sure, she could be all flapper for a party in the nineteen-twenties, but given a runaround in a haunted nuthouse? Nope, no protocol for that one. Donna would be making her own way.

Oh, apparently they were looking for pain medication. "You'll be getting an earful if you take too many, got that?" Donna warned as she took down a few bottles. Things were recognizable, but it took her a few tries before finding a cabinet with the right things. "Oh, here we go." She snatched a bottle and tossed it over to Arlene.
