Night 47: Recreational Field

[hat_einen_vogel]

There were no lighted guard towers out here and no heavily-armed patrols, and Prussia again felt insulted by the lack of security. It was almost as if they wanted him to escape! Until now, hardly a day had gone by without the control council making its presence-and his position-known. The sudden change in tune disturbed him more

The birds were still up there. (What was the story about them again--that they ate virgins? Indy scoffed under his breath.) Aside from those shadows along the line of the roof and a lone patient making for the shed, the field looked deserted. Good.

This would be familiar territory for these two, so Indy started quickly and quietly off across the grass and trusted them to follow.

Jack and Jill was a nursery rhyme, hmm? Lunge's mind cleared briefly, searching for any sort of reference. It was an English nursery rhyme, that much he knew, but the words themselves were something musty to him. Still, he knew enough of them to be able to make a judgement; it sounded as though it was potentially Jill's turn to take a tumble this time

L loped across the grass, following Jones as they made for the far wall. His recollections of his last attempt at climbing it were hazy, but he did remember that there were some vines they could use to help pull themselves up.

"From what I recall of Lamperouge's timeline, it has been" -- there was a brief pause while he calculated in his head -- "almost three weeks, now, since Jack's death was reported. What struck me about tonight's announcement was how Landel seemed to want us to listen to any radio broadcasts that might be made tonight. It's more of the same

Indy, still jogging toward the wall, nodded his approval. These two weren't bad at picking up information, even with the bulletin board newly censored. Nice not to have to waste words, too. "I wonder what the odds are that there's actually some kind of resistance," was all he said. Jack's falling out with the good doctor he was fairly willing to buy, but it wouldn't've shocked him to find out that Jill was just more smoke and mirrors to distract them

And yet in the corner of his eye, just for a moment, there was a tantalizing hint of light. It was like a small, glowing orb a short distance away, closer to the wall, but if someone were to look in that direction it would be gone.

As though in response to the question the light once more flickered to life, bobbing gently in the air for a moment to make certain it had been seen. Slowly, it began to drift toward the courtyard wall, lifting a little higher in the air as it went.

[hat_einen_vogel]

Prussia reached the shed, circling around it to reach the corner where the wall met. He climbed it, pulling himself up to rest on the ledge at the top, and then pointed his light at what lay beyond it.

It seemed this was the corner of the hospital's grounds. There were no landscaped courtyards or further buildings beyond this part of the wall, so this would be where he'd go over. He dropped the torch to the ground and judging the distance to where it now lay, jumped off.

He peered out of the door carefully for a moment before actually stepping outside. The field wasn't actually too dark. The crisp autumn night was clear, the sky black and dotted with stars, which was lucky since that was what he and Alkaid were supposed to be doing tonight, right? He moved along the wall to the corner so that he could see most of the field and both doors to the building without being easily seen himself. Not to mention if anything came he could probably climb the wall without much difficulty and lob razors down at it.

[from here and HOLY SHIT WOW I FORGOT THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THREADING LKJSDFLJDSLF if you want to backthread that's totally fine with me. SEND ME A LINE NEXT TIME i feel terrible]Alkaid pushed out into the chilly night air, certainly without a coat or anything like that to keep her warm. The cool was invigorating, and reminded her of home, besides!! Aaaah, Sapporo... She missed it. Sure, there were things here and there that reminded her of home, and she really did like her new body (however intently she was focused on fattening it up with tons of delicious food) - not to mention her new friends were pretty cool most of the time

[tender_cruelty]

[S'okay XD No worries. I was totally distracted for most of nightshift by the Olympics and then there wasn't much time left ^^;]

Allelujah smiled when he heard the voice calling him and he turned to face the red-head. He waves back at Alkaid, glad that she seemed to have made it without too much trouble. She didn't look injured at least. He would hate to have to explain to Badou that he got his friend maimed or something. Besides... she was just a kid. Not that Allelujah himself was that much older probably, but he'd seen so much more.

He hurried over towards he, taking up position nearby where he could see the entire field and make sure they weren't in imminet danger of being attacked. "Hey, how is it coming?"

The second child let Junpei do the manual labor on this adventure and stood behind while he opened the door at the end of the hall. Once they stepped outside, Asuka pulled away from the highschooler so she could stretch her arms out, up over head and back at her side where she swung them back and forth as she looked around. It was much brighter outside and the young girl turned off her flashlight so as not to use up unnecessary battery life.

"Jeez, it's creepy out here even at night..."

[whos_da_man]

Junpei was kind of glad Asuka let go when they hit the cool open air. This meant if more evil Koro-chans on mutated steroids showed up he could run like a bitch properly fend them off without a hot girl attached to his arm.

"Yeah. And there's some kind of diseased dogs out here at night, so we need to really keep ours eyes open." Speaking of eyes, his flickered up at the roof of the building looming over them. "And giant birds, too. Somebody likes to play mad scientist."

[lookitmemama]

"Birds...?" Asuka's head whipped around after Junpei's nonchalant little comment. Blue eyes wide and full of skepticism, she closed the short distance between them. "How are there gian--Jesus! What the hell happened to your face!?" The redhead was happy to point at the ugly shiner around his eye. He hadn't had that when they talked earlier this morning.

[whos_da_man]

Junpei blinked, a bit startled at the forcefulness of Asuka's question. Then he got what she was referring to.

"Oh this? I got into a fight at lunch," he said, pointing to the black eye, unconcerned about it. "And I dunno how there are giant birds. I just figure some guy with way too much time and a high tech lab played around with bird DNA and spliced together something huge and ugly with wings."
