Night 48: F21-F30 Hallway

[fourstonewalls]

When the intercom finished another deliberately vague note, Lana was already standing at her door, flashlight in hand and scalpel securely in her coat pocket. She'd neglected to find out exactly how the doors worked at night, but the general idea was clear. Some time soon, they would open, and she had to be ready the moment they did

When the intercom went off, Falis stirred a bit from a shallow, poison-induced slumber. Senna had been quiet, but that was okay; the odds were Falis wouldn't have been able to hold a coherent conversation anyways. She stretched an immediately regretted it, curling into a ball on her bed.

Damnit, it was like when Kaito had magically kicked the shit out of her and they'd escaped with the caravan. Or that's what Dominikov had told her. She'd been blissfully unconscious for most of it.

Nothing. Nada. No notes on what to do. Even as infrequent as the A&C notes had been lately, none at all seemed strange. A free night off? She wasn't going to complain. They hadn't finished the mission from last night--maybe Senna could see how far she got tonight.

But how fun was it to wander alone? Maybe she could catch one of the girls in the block hall. Falis looked asleep, and having slept through dinner again, Senna didn't know any better. Maybe she needed the rest. Her stomach was rebelling at the habit, grumbling. Ah, well. Tomorrow, she would....

Enough of that. She had to get going.

Senna changed quickly, and snagged her stuff before creeping quickly to Falis' bed. "Hey," she said softly. "I'm sorry about last night."

As Falis was not asleep anymore, she cracked an eye and rolled her head back to see her roommate.

"No fucking apologies from you. My choice to get involved," she said slowly, her words slightly slurred. She reached out for Senna's hand. "You fucking die tonight, I'm gonna kill you."

Half-amused, partially regretful, Senna grabbed Falis' hand and squeezed it with a small grin. "Yeah, well that goes double for you, lady. Don't think I won't hear if you're trouble tonight."

With another squeeze, Senna released her roommate's hand, brushing Falis' hair from her face. "Rest well, okay? I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Dinner had been uneventful. A room, another--strange. Unusual, but nothing that could not be ignored. When finished, Ayanami shifted everything to the slide, and sat on the bed, staring at the intersection where wall and floor met. She was not tired.

Less so, now. With the announcement that seemed strange for the place they were in. And the locks that she had noted earlier unlocking just as easily. She watched the door for a moment, the unmistakable sound of people moving in the hall. She blinked once, mien blank, then slowly trod to the door. There had been a flashlight under her pillow. She took that, too.

The dinner hour had been quieter than the night previous, as Nunnally was wrapped up in her own thoughts and worries as she ate. Nobody had mentioned a field trip before, or any potential dangers that might be involved there. If something bad had happened last week, would it happen again? What could she do to help in such a situation? She had to think about this now, before it was too late and it became necessary to do something

Time had passed; how much, she didn't know, but something stirred her to wakefulness and Nunnally blinked at the darkness in the room in sleepy confusion. It had been some kind of sound, she thought, but as she waited it didn't repeat. Perhaps her roommate had left for the night? It could have been the sound of the door closing, if so

Aigis had apparently lost track of time while savoring the new textures and flavors of her dinner, because before she knew it the lights dimmed. The doctor's voice over the intercom was much more congested but no less threatening as last night. And he had mentioned the trials for patients, even hinting at possible re-trials. Landel... What was that man's true goals?

Putting down her half-eaten mousse (an interesting flavor, though she enjoyed the fluffy texture the most) Aigis quickly began to search for her flashlight. Just as Junpei had said, it was under the pillow. That still struck Aigis as an odd place to keep a flashlight, but the institute was definitely unorthodox. She hit the switch to give it a try, but the bulb didn't so much as blink. She checked it over, noting the lack of batteries.

Certainly I must have some, thought Aigis. She had seen others using their flashlights the night before. With this in mind, Aigis did something she should have done the night before; she began searching the room from top to bottom

Huh. There was someone at their door.

Agatha found this odd, in the (small) part of her mind that wasn't still swimming in schematics, but the woman didn't seem inclined to detain her, so she just waved at Ema back in the room and set out, humming along to her thoughts, quite cheerful in the knowledge that there were going to be tools.
