Nightshift 35: Main Hallway, 2-West

Sep 24, 2008 01:30

[from here]

There was no one in the hallway at all when the two reached the second floor. No sign at all of anyone, which struck him as strange since usually there were at least voices or light from other patients’ torches.

Siegfried did not want to linger in the hallway, not when it would put he and Xelloss at risk of being attacked.

A simple introduction was easy enough to remember, and Xelloss's own was intentionally put-on to see the reaction it got. Not much reaction from Siegfried, which was actually also to Xelloss's preference for the evening. He'd spent his time a little frivolously lately, tonight was all business as he got the tools for his flashlight to work again.

At Siegfried's words, he nodded and smiled, though his grip on the shovel changed to hold it in both hands at the ready. This area was more dangerous than downstairs, and if they did encounter anything, it wouldn't be very good for him to fail to help his light source. His grip on the shovel was slightly awkward due to holding the flashlight as well, but he could adjust his grip if a real threat surfaced.

Miku peeked out of the stairwell curiously and removed Sousuke's shirt, her homemade mask, from her face. He was right; the smell from below was gone. Somehow, that relieved Miku. "We'll be quick across, I think." She didn't see anyone, anyway, except for other patients ahead of them.

Was it here, that they had encountered the swordsman? Or was it closer to the railing overlooking the Sun Room? Subaru couldn't remember clearly, all he could see in his mind's eye was Hinasaki-san's protector being sliced open, blood everywhere, and it was his fault... Shaking it off, Subaru gestured with his flashlight. "We'll pass one hallway, and then the next one is the one that leads to the kitchen."

Knives nodded, taking in the directions. He followed after Subaru with his attention divided to the darkness outside of their flashlight beams. He hadn't really encountered anything too dangerous since he had come to this hospital but he hadn't really explored a lot either.

"If we find scrap metal my roommate can make them into weapons," he pointed out quietly, thinking of what he had seen Roy do before. The alchemy was a curious thing to watch, but it was also very useful. Knives didn't bother sharing that. "Do you need something or is that weapon you have actually worth something?" Knives hadn't acknowledged the wrapped up thing until then and he wasn't about to take it away from Subaru. He was more curious what the boy's talents were.

Subaru was still sore from the battle the night before, but at least he hadn't been gravely injured this time. Not like Hinasaki-san's friend... and not like some of the other times he'd fought here. He could fight again if he had to. Probably. If he wouldn't just be useless like last night. "This is a ritual knife. I'm an onmyouji. A sort of shaman, and exorcist. Other things as well. A magic-user, not a physical fighter." Though he could hold his own physically, if he really had to.

gone_2far September 27 2008, 18:38:20 UTC

"I know what an onmyouji is," Knives said, irritated at the implication of his ignorance and also at the thought that he was with a spiritualist instead of with someone more useful. Great. "What use is your magic in a place that dampens abilities?" he asked, clearly showing some of his disgust at the idea in his voice. He felt his anger flood at him again. His frustration at this place was near blinding and he had to pause to calm himself, taking a deep breath. He didn't apologize for the venomous tone to his voice, but he did at least speak more calmly.

"Not that I'm much more help," he said, admitting his weakness in front of the human felt humiliating. "This place has all but crippled me. Let's get to the kitchen so at least I'm more useful that you."

Caution, as far as Elle was concerned, was something that other people did. As she stepped into the hallway, she sent a cascade of blue sparks racing along the wall into the darkness. They fizzled out after fifteen or twenty feet, but they did reveal a perfectly empty corridor. No patients, no monsters. Not that she really expected to see a monster - she'd been here four days and had only ever seen one, and it had already been... dealt with.

strange_unlife September 27 2008, 19:30:51 UTC

Shito's reasons for following Elle were more or less the same as hers for (sort of) inviting him along--he figured the idiot girl would attract any monsters to herself with the silly displays of power, and he could probably get away if he had to. His/Akatsuki's right hand was shoved into a pocket now, the stump of the wrist and the handcuff hanging from it sticking out a little bit. His right arm ended just above the wrist, but there was no blood dripping from the stump. "Let me see the map. I want to know where we're going." And where there might be weapons, or something else semi-useful.

ellectriclights September 27 2008, 19:55:03 UTC

"We're going this way," Elle informed her new traveling companion, making no move to give him what he had asked for.

She spared him one glance, over her shoulder. He'd stuck his hand in his pocket, and there seemed to be a bit of handcuff sticking out, too. "What's with the hand?"

More emptiness and more silence. Roy knew that the second floor wasn't quite as popular now that there were other destinations, but hopefully that would work to their advantage. The monsters tended to gather where most of the patients were, didn't they?

"I'd been working my way across," he recalled to himself, as well as for Hughes' benefit. He knew that his friend had come with him on this job at least once or twice before, but he wasn't sure if he'd been there for the most recent time - and even that was close to a week ago.

He took a right and slowly started down the hall as he tried to remember where he'd been and where he hadn't.

felled_hero September 28 2008, 21:32:41 UTC

"It's no big deal if you end up trying the same doors over," Hughes pointed out. It would probably be better, to do it that way, then potentially skip a door that hadn't been tried.

Hughes kept his back to Roy, however, now that they were in the hall, and kept his eyes and ears peeled for any hint of something coming.

muted_flame September 28 2008, 22:14:25 UTC

Roy figured that Hughes had a point, even though he would have preferred to be more efficient about this process. Still, he would kick himself for missing something just because he decided to skip over an area he thought he'd already tried.

He made sure to move forward slowly, knowing that they shouldn't rush when they could potentially get ambushed from anywhere.
