Shinji once again lingered on the threshold of his room, debating on whether he truly wanted to step out into the dark, uninviting hallways. The sense of claustrophobia, of being watched, of being enclosed were already starting to creep up on him. He rubbed at his arms, swallowing softly. He paused to pick up his flashlight, rolling it back and

Sylar scowled as he glanced up and down the hallway, his flashlight gripped tight in case any of that creature's friends tried to finish off what the first one had started. He wasn't about to rely on any more idiot Samaritans, so he was consciously quick and obsessively cautious as he glanced at the ceiling and continued down the hall.

He just... wasn't sure what to do with it.
The Keyblade Master's Other. It left a sour note in the Nobody's mouth, his being defined by Sora. He wanted so many things he couldn't have. A heart. An existence, untied to someone else. Even the ability to wield the Keyblades wasn't his alone. He had some broken friendship with Axel to mend, now that he understood why the redhead had hidden the answers from him for so long. It still disturbed him - friendships were based on trust, weren't they? At least, that sounded right - but it was something to salvage. Despite what Axel had done to him, he wanted his friendship back. That's why he had left the Organization behind in the first place. He'd wanted to gather Xion and smooth out the rough edges regarding his existence and eat ice cream on the clock tower.

It was a lot easier to carry the art supplies in his pillowcase, so he tucked them all carefully inside and grabbed his flashlight before heading out the door.

And there she was. Ruby stood in front of the closed door for a moment, wondering how much attention it would attract if she were to knock. Probably no more than she was attracting by standing out here looking like an idiot, really, but a lot depended on appearances right now. What if Dean decided go looking for Sam instead of the other way around? She'd supposedly just met Sam yesterday. Showing up at his room like this would be a little weird.
But they'd cross that bridge when they came to it. Sam was more important than Dean, in the grand scheme of things. Yes, they needed him to break the first Seal and get the ball rolling, but after that he only mattered to the angels trying to make him their bitch. Sam, on the other hand, had a part to play and Ruby was going to get him ready for it, no matter where they found themselves. If Dean showed up, she'd lie. She was a demon; she was good at that.
She raised her hand and knocked. "Sam? It's me."

Though he did hope Peter would be okay tonight. He'd kind of flown out of the room and Sam didn't doubt Peter had run off to try to look for his brother again.
He frowned, drummed his finger along the length of the Glock that still didn't feel as at home in his hands as his own gun would've. His flashlight was dead, too. It'd spluttered for a few seconds, but that was about as good as it would give. Unfortunate, but he supposed he could just rely on Ruby's and Dean's for the night. It'd free up a hand at least, and that was never a bad thing.
-speak of the devil.
Sam reached for his jacket and shrugged it on. "Yeah, it's open."

It could have been anything, knowing Sam. Probably had something to do with Dean, but maybe it didn't. At any rate, it gave her an in. He'd tell her whatever it was that needed telling, and then she could start with the persuasion on her end, start wearing him down. If she didn't convince him tonight, that was fine. She could wait.

Instinctive, he glanced down at his wrist before he realized that he didn't have his watch. He crossed his arms over his chest instead.
"Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, he's probably going to be keeping an eye on me to make sure I don't try anything. So I need you to look into it for me."
If she could, that was. Their circumstances weren't exactly conducive to research and even if it was, Sam was pretty aware that the surefire way boiled down to kill Lilith. But Lilith wasn't here and as depressing as the thought of being stuck here for a full year was, Sam wasn't so naive as to rule it out. Anything could happen. And if it did happen, he sure as hell wasn't letting Dean get dragged downstairs ( ... )

CAT schooled his face into the most benign expression he could manage at the moment and opened the door. "Oh, hey, Phones! Got my stuff, I see."

"Yeah. I thought the pins might last longer if they were made out of clay instead of paper, so I threw some in too. Up to you though. Got paint, markers, brushes, and I think a needle and thread in case we didn't get pins I figured we could just... sew 'em to a belt or something," another shrug. Shiki would probably be loving this kind of thing, but even if he set trends from time to time, he didn't actually make any of his clothing like she did.

He nodded. "Alright, I'll see what I can cook up for ya. Thanks again, Phones. Know you've probably got something lined up tonight, so I'll let you go without the small talk." Sanae would make sure, though, that tomorrow they would have a little match of catch up.
