Night 50: Main Hallway, 1-Center

[perfectrecord]

[From here]Unlike the western section, the central portion of this hallway was completely deserted. On any other night, von Karma would have used this to his advantage to arrive at one of the upstairs locations before anyone else did. The Janitor's Closet, for one, contained a large cache of metal that he could use to compensate Mr. Geeste for

[From here.]There were quite a few other patients in this area, but that wasn't much of a surprise. The Sun Room seemed to be a popular place to go, even though it was notorious for being dangerous. Peter figured that was because of the rumors about there being useful information hidden somewhere in the basement, but it wasn't something he'd looked into too much himself. There seemed to be as many people who insisted that it wasn't worth the amount of danger involved

It was a relief to have Peter take the lead, and not just because he was the one with a functional light. Of course, that put Hanatarou in the rear of their two-person group, and what if some monster decided to show up and pick them off from behind? Or... maybe he shouldn't be thinking about that kind of thing, because it'd just make him even more nervous than he already was. They were going to get supplies and then come back and nothing bad would happen. Right. Focus on that.

The shinigami glanced up at Peter and blinked at the question; he'd been wondering much the same thing himself, since he hadn't seen most of the others that day and nobody else had responded to the note on the bulletin. "Um, I... guess so...." he replied, giving a tiny shrug. "Sakura-san is usually busy at night, and Nataku-san said he couldn't come, and... I haven't heard from, er, Kibitoshin-san or Tsukasa-san...."

Ugh! Shikamaru should have known better than to expect anything like mature rationality from someone like Temari, but how the hell did she survive this long back home if she just ignored any and all information about her surroundings? His loud grunt should have indicated that he was perfectly fine with watching her waltz off to a gruesome death, but Shikamaru wasn't a great actor.

"The guy in charge takes us from different times," he called after her as explanation for their age difference, but when that didn't stop her, Shikamaru pressed his hand to his forehead and started after her. He should have expected that the earlier relief would be temporary....and even if he hadn't been newly prone to them, Temari was enough to give anyone a headache.

"You don't even know where you're going," he said, catching up. Did she really have to make this so difficult? "And what do you think you can accomplish, anyway? Escape? If it were that easy, do you think I'd still be here?"

She probably did, actually.

That had been predictable. Temari hardly made it halfway down the hall before Shikamaru came running after her, just as planned. The kid could be stubborn when he wanted, and while he was still trying to lecture Temari about her actions, he was following her to do it. That counted as a win in her book, or at least, the first step toward one

She'd gotten here what, five minutes ago? Her demeaning attitude wasn't anything new, and he fully expected her to act like she knew everything even when she admitted that she didn't. He didn't feel like arguing, though--the night was enough of a pain in the ass already, and it was getting worse by the moment

The exchange happening in the far corner of the hall had escalated to a confrontation, and Aidou chose to retrace his steps back the way he’d come instead of trying to get around it.

Better, also, for staying within distance of the lobby.

The vampire had no intention of sticking around for too long, but for the moment he deemed it safe. No one had seen him--and no one was seeing him, as far as he could tell. Nearly impossible as it was to find one of his kind when they didn’t want to be found, the blood newly introduced into his system made Aidou feel… more aware. Every sense felt stronger, more enhanced. He really had needed to eat something. It was both admirable and pathetic that he was getting used to living on almost nothing.

[from here]Here, Aigis did pause for a moment, contemplating her options. She knew if she went through the north door she would wind up in the Sun Room. She could continue through that room and find either a series of smaller rooms, some of which she had been in already and some she had not, or perhaps move to the cafeteria. But neither of those options appealed to her. She had no desire to search rooms used for menial activities during the day. A more productive approach would be to search out the sleep study rooms or Landel's office, or even just a safe way for the patients to escape

Yes, it might seem a shame that he put that fine mind and spirit to use scrubbing his socks and cooking his dinner, but that was part of the appeal, after all. Elaine wasn't just a spoil to claimed - she was a challenge to be conquered. Ah, to finally have her fiery spirit subservient to his own... of course, he had her in his grasp already, a loyal demon bride planning their wedding until Guybrush had to screw it up

As Porky strode into the center of the main hallway, he couldn't help but idly wonder what his companion would actually look like. True, they had used a (sometimes) female name and equally feminine handwriting in the bulletin post, but then, so had Porky. It would be nice if Porky's mysterious rendezvous was actually a girl, though.

And then Porky saw him and all hopes of having an attractive partner to work with were violently crushed beneath a massive (and admittedly magnificent) beard. Chris really hadn't been kidding when he had said he hadn't been able to shave his beard here. What's more, that beard was attached to what looked like over 200 pounds of muscle and intimidation. In short..."Christ" was not Porky's type, to say the least.

Porky waved his torch at the towering figure as he approached.

"Good Lord!" Porky said, a grin on his face, "You've really let yourself go, Chris! What ever happened to maintaining that girlish figure of yours?"

[voodooanonymous]

LeChuck had also been vaguely hoping for some attractive wench, who he could perhaps turn to his side to take revenge on Guybrush for his actions. Just because he was madly in love with Elaine didn't mean he couldn't appreciate other beauty, after all. But he did immediately notice the lit torch coming down the hall amongst the electric flashlights. It was still hard to tell if anyone was particularly pale by the dim light, but the kid holding it was certainly a candidate

[piggy_king]

Tch. Not only was the head doctor blathering about something that Porky didn't care about at all, but it looked like this Chris guy was actually just a person that Guybrush had annoyed. Not surprising, considering that Guybrush wasn't exactly the most charming person on the planet, but Porky had been hoping to meet with someone that actually had an axe to grind with that pirate. Still, he did look strong. Porky idly wondered about how difficult it would be to convince Chris to knowingly hurt Threepwood.

Then came the feedback and Porky couldn't help but drop his torch and clap his hands over his ears, teeth gritted in pain. "Oh my Pork!" he growled as the sound died down. Fucking Landel and his...his shenanigans! As Porky silently fumed, he knelt over to pick over his now-extinguished torch
