Nightshift 35: Main Hallway, 2-Centre

[requiemforasoul]

[from here]Siegfried led the way along the main hallway and past the balcony looking down on the Sun Room, constantly on the lookout for anything that might sneak up on the two. He expected that they would hear something before they were attacked, but that may not always be the case. It was better to be safe than sorry

...well here were all of the people that Joshua had been wondering about from the previous hall. All clumped up, with a light show down below casting everything in darkness and light all together. It was fascinating to watch, especially watching the people up here, in relative safety, going about their business as though they were completely unconcerned with the idea.

It made him giggle, it really did. Neku would have pitched a fit if he knew so many people could be so callous to their fellow man.

Allelujah heard the crashing sound and the boom of thunder before he got to the Sun Room hallways, and it gave him pause for a moment. But if there was something there, then he'd rather know what it was than wait for it to come and hunt him down like that creature last night had. He stepped out a little way, peering into the corridor.

What the hell was that creature?!

He could see it attacking a man and a blond girl, and for a moment, a dark smile of satisfaction crossed his lips when he recognised the girl. Just what she deserved. Hallelujah would be glad to help if he didn't think that the monster creature might go for him as well. The expression quickly faded and he pressed himself back against the wall, wanting to make sure that that creature didn't see him.

A flash of greenish hair made Joshua turn around, almost to the point where he'd pointedly ask his partner if he did want to be erased, but then he stopped. The person nearby was much taller than Sync, more muscular as well, and hadn't made an obvious noise yet. Obviously, this was not his partner.

Ah well. What was the point in being unfriendly? Joshua ambled next to the other boy, grinning as he did so. "Quite the show, isn't it? Interesting to see that the deck's pretty stacked against us." Using a giant flesh-eating Noise with lightning and a big spear against underpowered patients? That was just crass.

Most people, unused to life or death situations or being attacked by overwhelming odds, would probably have been horrified that no-one was rushing forward to help fight off the monster and save the two being attacked. But they'd never been in this kind of situation and that kind of naivety was what got people killed. While part of him was horrified, the coolly pragmatic part of him knew that he had no chance of beating the creature and if it managed to eat the girl, then that was one fewer enemy that he had to deal with.

He was a little startled when a young-looking boy spoke to him and Allelujah turned towards Joshua, feigning a little more surprise than he actually felt, making himself look off-guard. "We should move while it's distracted," he said quietly, glancing towards the other side of the railed area and judging how much chance they had of getting there.

Again Near took care to shine his light around the area before stepping out of the room. It seemed something had happened, if the state of the men on the far wall was any indication. But at the same time, there was a person leaning over the railing who seemed less afraid and more delighted. Regardless, Near knew it was best to move on before Brooklyn's control failed him and he really did leap down into the Sun Room.

"This way." Near kept close to the wall, heading the opposite of the way they had come earlier. "It's the second hall on the left."

Charred flesh, that was a familiar smell. Dead flesh that was walking, though, that was something else.

Diva stopped to watch for a moment, the bright lights burning her eyes a little, but otherwise illuminating everything for her sense of sight, even if it wasn't the sense she needed to rely on during all of the dark nights. The girl and boy were interesting; interesting blood. She licked some of Fai's from the corner of her mouth again.

But not so interesting that she cared to do more than pause briefly.

She moved past them and further into the gloom.

It seemed as though the two of them had missed something that had recently occurred in this hall. Brooklyn tried hard not to think negatively of Nate for making him leave it. There were others around. Surely help would be offered?

He needed to learn first aid. There was only so much he could do to tend to human wounds, and his medical knowledge was extremely outdated. Gargoyles had been blessed with the ability to heal while they were stone.
