Nightshift 38: West Wing, South Hall 1-B

[shallweplay]

[From here]Ophelia carefully opened the door, listening and looking around in both directions for any signs of monster activity. When she was satisfied that there was none that she could detect, she swung the door open and hurried down toward the main hall where more of the moonlight could be seen faintly. Once she got there, she knew she was

Yep, these were women's rooms. If he had to guess, the room sections would be laid out in a square. There'd be another couple sections alongside these, right? Right.

Hoping he was on the right track and not getting hopelessly lost, Teisel picked up his pace a little.

And here it was. Armand couldn't even quite remember why this had been the compromise meeting place, but he was used to finding it himself in the dark by now. The door to the woman's block was just across the hall, and he knew he could wait here in relative safety if he kept quiet and the others hurried. He leaned against the wall and started rehearsing his apologies to TK in his mind.

TK found his way to the usual meeting spot, looking around. It was a relief to find Armand already there. At least he was where he was supposed to be tonight. He made sure not to sneak up on the other man, lowering his glowrod so that the light wouldn't get in Armand's eyes. "Hey," He said, unsure of what else he really could say. He didn't want to get Armand upset by asking a question he didn't want to answer, but with how the other man acted some times, he had no idea what a safe question might be.

Citan was only a moment behind, nodding to himself as he saw the two men. Well, that was promising!

"Good evening," he called, ambling over and smiling at both. Perhaps tonight would prove more productive, after all. Citan was certainly not one to dismiss potential good omens.

[OOC: Alec is still supposed to be coming, but Armand would like to warn Citan of that. Methinks TK knows.]

It was such a relief to see the two of them that Armand nearly hugged them both. True, he'd spoken to TK just this morning, but he'd had a rough afternoon. And now he felt like such a heel about so many things. "You both made it," he said happily. Something tight and worried in his chest unclenched.

"I'm still expecting Alec Trevelyan. He helped TK last night, and I need to speak with him. I hope that isn't any trouble to you, Dr. Uzuki." Armand knew he'd have to explain about last night, but he was dreading it. Mentioning it at all would like spur a flood of questions. Probably better now than after Alec's arrival.

"I wish last night could have gone differently. The doctors took me away and injected me with a kind of truth serum." That horror could be summed up that easily? Well, it could if you left out all the humiliating pleading and crying. "Please be sparing with the questions."

Still mostly quiet. Which was a relief, as every noise was an order of magnitude or three louder with a headache. Pity you couldn't package that effect -- would save money on Walkman batteries. Cut way down on mercury contamination of groundwater, too.

That weird calm staying with her, she thought offhand... This is the way we went last night, right before....

The question was, of course, where to go first. Not to the boys' rooms, of course. Not this time. But Elena was in a habitual pattern, and while debating on where to go, her body kind of naturally headed in the direction she was used to moving in. She kind of glanced around for other patients, but her main focus was simply thinking.
