Nightshift 45: M11-M20 Hallway

[destroyeroftime]

[from here]Oh, so this was the hall he needed to be in. At least, he was pretty sure it was the right place. If he remembered right, the man on the bulletin board talking about Search and Rescue, his name was Phillip Hunt. If there were only two people in a room, though, it shouldn't be too hard finding him

That announcement killed the somewhat optimistic impatience that Luke had after Cloud managed to make him feel better about things. The guy in charge definitely had some kind of problem, and Luke was ready to show him a lesson. But given how long things took on their journey, he had a feeling that it was going to be a while before he really got things sorted out. It was just the first night, so he had to be patient enough.

After he had finished the tempura on his plate, he returned to his bed and sprawled out, flashlight lying against his stomach, and waited for the door to click open. A part of him wanted to stand near it, watching, waiting, even pacing, but he knew it would annoy him if someone else was doing that, so he tried to give an air of calm. Who knew what really lied out there? Depending on where he was at any given period of time, monsters always tended to look ... different. Some were scary, some were weak, and some, as Tear seemed to try to keep from pointing out, were rather cute

Abrupt and sudden, just as Luke had expected. Asch refused to let him find him, but he gave him an idea of what he needed to do. Find a pipe in a bathroom. But the rest of it was just as one-sided as always, with Asch initiating and breaking off the conversation before Luke got his way. He realized he could have done something like he did that one time in Baticul, forcing Asch to come to a specific place to meet him. Then again, where would he tell him to find him? It wasn't like Luke had an idea of what existed out there, except for monsters, other people caught in this experiment, and now, from Asch's description, a bathroom.

"Damnit, Asch," he muttered, wanting to rush out there quickly to see if he could eventually run into him. Reason (and his complete lack of weapons) told him that this wouldn't be the best response in this situation. He grabbed up his abandoned flashlight, flicking it on. He decided he needed to get out there somehow, anyway, even if he told Cloud he'd stick around
