Miku hurried away from her new friends (and kitten) to the cafeteria. For some reason she was just terribly ravenous. Her nurse smiled, relieved that her patient had finally chose to eat something and wouldn't continue that backslide into poor health. She loaded the girl's plate with French toast and fruit, dusted the bread in powdered sugar and a ( Read more... )

For the first time since arriving at Landel's, Elle woke up feeling... almost peaceful. She lay in bed for several minutes, adjusting to certain things. Mostly the fact that her left arm was in a sling. And her shoulder didn't hurt as much as she would have expected it to, which probably meant she was on meds ( Read more... )

((From here.))As Claude continued up the hallway, he made sure to walk slowly and quietly. So far it looked like he was the only person around here, making him an easy target in an ambush or something. A small part of him realized he didn't have the same knack for spotting an incoming attack like Ashton or Dias. Still, that didn't mean he couldn ( Read more... )

Left led outside, further down the hall at least. Callisto reminded herself absently of this as she went the opposite direction. In the future she might see what all the fuss was about, but not now. The announcements only made her current target all the more interesting.

[From hereQui-Gon stopped before the Sun Room doors to access the situation. Last time there had been guards in the Sun Room, no doubt to prevent patients from making it to the basement. He would have to be careful. Qui-Gon was competent with his knife but it was no lightsaber. There was a good chance he would have to make a break for it instead of ( Read more... )

The patient corridor widened out as it hit the Main Hall. Patients were already moving about, his senses told him, but he was unable to identify who they were. Qui-Gon moved on in the darkness.

The passing words regarding the CM-US Experimental Trials made the boy sick to his stomach, nearly causing him to throw up whatever he had managed to eat during dinner. How the doctors could treat torture so clinically Ken did not know; the implications almost prompted him to stay in for the night. Logically, he really should have since he hadn't ( Read more... )

Nny was beginning to suspect that he wasn't dreaming. Interestingly enough, it wasn't the length of his stay that was starting to convince him. It was his goddamn headache. You didn't get headaches in dreams, you just didn't. Not unless you'd been drinking the night before, which he hadn't experienced in, well, a really long time (and that was it's ( Read more... )

Wally woke as the intercom crackled to life and was surprised to find himself back in his room. The last thing he'd remembered was feeling relieved at finally beating off those dragonfly-lizard things. There'd been that weird intercom message, then... he wasn't quite sure what had happened after that, but he was certain it hadn't involved falling ( Read more... )

[With GLaDOS from here]

Nny stayed behind GLaDOS until they reached the stairs, at which point he moved up front to provide light. It seemed unusually empty, a fact he welcomed. Hopefully the second floor would be empty, or at least emptier than the first. He angled his flashlight upwards and ascended the stairs.

"Second floor, right? Which way ( Read more... )
