Night 45: F11-F20 Hallway
Beatrix barely noticed that her roommate had never shown up. Her and Daphne had spoken so little, she could honestly say she didn't care. Her concerns were with who she might get saddled with this upcoming night or if she'd be given the privilege of being in a single room for a while. It would be nice, that's for certain

The girl's room was only a hallway over, so reaching it was fairly quickly this early in the night. There were few out, which was a boon considering how much room Teresa took up in the hallway with the half-bedframe across her back.
Once at the girl's door, Teresa knocked. Euphy wasn't expecting her, but that didn't mean the girl wouldn't be grateful to see her. Teresa just wanted to make sure the girl was reasonably intact before she went to find something to do.

The other princess in the room answered the door, peering out cautiously as she opened it just a crack. She opened it the rest of the way when her flashlight revealed the towering form of Teresa standing there.
"Good evening, Teresa," she said coolly, not sure what to make of this visit. She hadn't given any indication of her room number when they had spoken before, so how had she found her? She knew the warrior had a way to track down demons, but she had implied that Hime hadn't qualified as one, so then... coincidence? Was she here for Euphemia? "Imagine meeting again so soon."
A slight smirk coming to her face, she stepped back to let the woman in, mostly because it seemed like a poor idea to stand in the way of someone who was almost half a foot taller than her and appeared to be carrying part of a bedframe, presumably as a weapon.

"Imagine that," the tall warrior said, her lips curling up in the faintest of smiles.
Her eyes then moved beyond the blonde to the pink-haired girl. She was already starting to brush past Hime when the girl stepped back to admit her entrance, the movement clarifying which of the residents she had arrived to see.
"We met at lunch," Teresa answered. Halfway across the room, she paused and looked back over her shoulder at Hime. "Are you doing anything worthwhile this night?"

She said goodbye to Anise, then stepped out into the hall. She was only a couple of doors down from Arlene's, so she thought she'd stop by...and then, as much as she hadn't expected to, she let out a light gasp. "A-are you okay, Arlene-san?", she called out, softly.

"Rika, you shouldn't be out alone at night. It's dangerous," she said as she knelt down next to the girl. Unfortunately, that put the very real sword across her back very much in view. "Are you meeting someone?"

Yomi had just been climbing into bed, hoping to rejoin Delilah in that wonderful dream of memories from earlier. However, a very short time after she had pulled the blankets over herself, she was stirred by the sound of the intercom switching back on. The Head Doctor sounded darkly amused, as he often did in her nightmares, though he didn't talk quite as much as he normally did. The sound of the doors unlocking that followed was sharply heard, triggering a dread chill down her back. Yomi gripped the covers in her hands, wishing what she had just heard away. She wasn't ready for another nightmare.
When she really thought about it for a few more moments, however, she let go, staring at the door in the darkness. This was strange. Normally when she had these nightmares, she was solidly locked in her Utena persona. This was the first time she felt really self-aware, almost as though she was really awake (and there was no way she could be awake if the Head Doctor had spoken like that, she reminded herself). Was that ( ... )

No. She was just about to investigate the sounds when a flash of bright light shone in her eyes and she reflexively brought a hand up, squinting at the source. The voice that called out to her made her heart stop and her eyes go wide, even if the name was completely unfamiliar.
Delilah? Anthy blinked and settled her hand against her chest, fingers pinching at a bit of the fabric absently. Her heart thumped faster. It was either Utena or an image of Utena that drew near -- she even had a sword, though she was dressed the same as Anthy. And there was recognition in her eyes, and there was an odd feeling tingling through both of Anthy's arms that created an urge to raise them and close them ( ... )

"Somewhere we don't belong," Yomi answered softly, lowering her sword to her side. "It's one last coffin to overcome before we can go home, as your brother would put it." She paused, wondering how she ought to put this if Delilah was "Himemiya" again. "You don't remember this place at all, then?"

Having finished her dinner and just had a friendly conversation with Yomi, she began rummaging through her things once more for the metal stirring spoon and flashlight. She wasn't really sure what they would be doing tonight, but it was probably best to be as prepared as possible.

Touya moved down the hallway directly to Sakura's new room. He'd made a note of the new room number when he'd had that scare last night, so he'd know exactly where she was the next.
The group arrived at her door and Touya knocked firmly. "Come out, come out, monster. The party's arrived." Somewhat literally... between Yue having his wings and Fai's coat, they looked like some sort of crazy parade.

At least it looked like Sakura hadn't waited long enough to become impatient this time. Staying in the room with the door closed was far safer for her, especially since she didn't have the cards with her right now.

But when Touya knocked and Yue stood aside, he waited toward the back of the group, just a few steps down the hall. He tried to at least appear busy as he glanced behind them, eyes scanning ceiling and walls as they waited.
