Night 40: Main Hall 1-East

[from here]He became more cautious upon entering this hallway, aware that he was more likely to encounter some kind of opponent here. Scanning the area ahead carefully, Itachi focused his every sense on detecting other presences before they attacked. The hallway he needed to go down was just to the left, but it would be wise to scan the entire

If the section of the hall nearest the Sun Room had been sparsely populated, this section was all but deserted. Tony felt the hair on the back of his neck prickle, as without his conscious mind's permission his subconscious decided to assign sinister meaning to the emptiness. Without the glow of several other flashlights, the hall seemed darker, more thickly populated with shadows. He picked up his pace, making for the stairwell he knew lay next to the waiting room flanking the front entrance.

Perhaps it was a slight sound, perhaps it was instinct, but just before Itachi left the main hallway, something made him turn. It was still dark, and his eyes were as weak as ever, but not so weak that he couldn't make out a familiar figure just behind him. Sasuke. And just like that, his own plans for the night were forgotten.

Did Sasuke know he was here? Probably not, because he wasn't screaming and running down the hallway. And yet, something seemed to be -- yes, even from here Itachi could recognize the motion that was a swing of a sword. There was something else there, and if Sasuke used his Sharingan to fight it, he would see Itachi's chakra. It was unlikely, but he couldn't risk it. He would fight Sasuke if he had to, but he had no desire to do so here and now. That would only be counterproductive for both of them, especially if Sasuke fought him on the same level he had a few days ago. Therefore, Itachi left.

So far so good. Luckily, the doctor's offices weren't too far into the building. No need to go any further than a couple of halls, and he hadn't seen too many dangerous beings or creatures around this area. Knock on wood.

There weren't even too many patients out yet, and a quick glance over his shoulder was all he needed to know Peter had followed him. He couldn't let his guard down. That's when they always got you in the horror movies.

For some reason, it already felt like they were moving a lot faster. Peter figured that two people were usually going to be able to get somewhere quicker than three, though he hoped that Brooklyn wasn't too disappointed by his friend's absence.

Peter had been curious about how the two had met, so he figured he might as well ask as they made their ways through the halls. "So... how did you and Nate become friends?" he asked, and it was only once he'd spoken the name that he realized that it could be short for "Nathan."

It wasn't like he had ever used that name with his brother--apparently only the younger one ended up with a nickname. That seemed vaguely unfair, but "Nate" definitely didn't fit Nathan, anyway.

Somehow, he had still ended up thinking too hard about it. Sighing to himself, Peter pulled ahead to move them into the hall with the doctor's offices.

As Peter had guessed, the hallway was empty. Keeping his flashlight held in front of him, the first thing he did was look for the stairs. He was pretty sure there were some around here, even though he'd never actually used them...

As it turned out, they were right across from the hallway that they had just left, and as his flashlight revealed the stairwell, Peter nodded in their direction. "Well, that easy enough."

Brooklyn smiled and nodded. This was a good side of the building to be on, too. The rooms most patients seemed to be after were on the east, so if Peter wanted to look those over as well they could avoid going through the main hallway and potential danger.

He made sure to lead the way up, more worried about something coming from above than from the rooms below they'd already been to.

Slowing down a bit once he'd gone passed the sun room, he tried to remain alert for anyone following him. It was very possible there would be someone else posted near the kitchen and dining area again, so he would ahve to avoid that place at all costs.

There were stairs just up ahead, leading to uncharted territory. Takasugi couldn't recall if he had been up them before or not, but it was definitely worth exploring, especially if he could find any of the objects he had in mind to retrieve this evening.

Touya could have sworn he'd seen a flight of stairs when he'd come out of the Sun Room today. He was a bit more alert as of late, so he was starting to pick up on things like access points and whatnot.

He checked the hallway briefly, then signaled to Yue that he felt it was clear.
