Claire woke up in her room just like before, with little idea of how she actually got there. This time, though, she noticed something different about the room. There was another young woman, a blond, sleeping in a bed across from her. Before questioning that, though, she made sure to hide the items she'd gotten that night in her closet, shutting

He was less happy about the new bed and it's sleeping occupant. The one he knew hadn't been there the day before.
He wasn't a religious man, but he let himself be taken to the chapel. He felt like he needed some peace and quiet. Time to reflect and decide if this actually was a dream or not. He settled down in one of the pew near the back corner, leaning back and closing his eyes.

Cold fingers ghosting over his forehead, he tried to calm the nervous tension rising within, as he slipped in to sit beside Yohji on the wooden bench.
Something was very wrong here.
Hands balling into tight fists in his lap, he stared right ahead and cleared his throat. "Kudoh?"

He was, however, a little startled to find the layout of his cell had changed. Not only that, but the second bed in his room was occupied by another prisoner - someone the Jedi had seen in passing before, but had never spoken to. Before he could investigate further, a nurse came to take him away ( ... )

"I don't think I fit most definitions of 'all right,'" he said after a few moments, his voice rather low mostly so he wouldn't have to move his mouth much. "Nothing immediately fatal, though, provided nothing gets infected, so in that respect I'd say yes."

"Um... I just wanted to ask you... You were Luxord and Xigbar. Where were they going?" Naminé had the feeling she knew the answer to this, but some confirmation would be nice. Depending on the man's answer, perhaps she would have a different agenda for tonight.

Her nurse had been clucking and fussing, babbling about some fall down a flight of stairs. Pure nonsense, and Lust knew it. But arguing did no good. She was alive, and she assumed Barret was, as well. And her room was occupied, she noticed. Her own private space, and how she had to share it? She left without another thought given to the other patient ( ... )

He stared, then immediately stood up, all thought of repenting and asking for answers gone from his head. Perhaps Ishbala would hate him for feeling such concern for a mere sin, but concern he felt nonetheless.
"What... what happened to you?" He asked, seeing first the crutch, then the battered and broken body that leaned on them. Without thinking, he moved to support her weight, gingerly easing her into a seat on the pew. He narrowed his eyes as he stood back up, looking down at her. "I knew I should have looked for you."
But instead he had gone along with Dias and been turned down by that bastard alchemist. Although Scar's ignorance towards Lust's peril hadn't been Mustang's fault, it was easy to find blame in him nonetheless.

When he'd opened his eyes, he'd found his right arm securely in a sling; evidently it was to keep the weight of it off the wound in his shoulder. He'd almost been afraid to assess the extent of the damage - he'd taken pride in his ability to fight one-handed for years, had actually mocked other swordsmen on occasion at their lack of skill in not even requiring him to use both hands, and for a few horrible moments the idea of only having the use of one arm for the rest of his life haunted him. But, to his own astonishment, when he'd tried flexing the arm...well, there had been pain enough that he'd quickly resolved not to repeat the experience, but his arm had moved as he'd commanded it to. Muscles, bone - they seemed to be functional, if not exactly in the best of shape ( ... )

He had been surprised, however, to find that the rooms had changed and that there had been someone sleeping in the new second bed,not to mention the fact that his room number had changed.
Again.
Well, maybe the "roommate," as his nurse called the other person, wouldn't be all that bad...hopefully he'd be easy to get along with.
Religion had never been as important to him as...say those Ormus fanatics, but Junior did believe there was something out there that created them, even if for its own amusement, and that deserved at least a bit of respect on a "holy" day. Kind of ironic, really. And the intercom's mention of a surprise worried him, knowing that the Institute's surprises were always ( ... )
