[From here]This was but one of the rooms within the immediate area that Xemnas wished to see, but one of the rooms that had claimed his interest nonetheless ( Read more... )

And it was dark. The bright white of John's flashlight only seemed to emphasize inky black shadows and pristine white tiles. When (if?) he got out of here, he resolved never to see another horror movie -- after all, what would be the point?

He ran his flashlight over the room, taking in the empty tables, the scale. It was obvious (or at ( Read more... )

[From here]As predicted, the fragile lock did not persist after a few blows. Xemnas carefully pushed open the door, fully aware that the noise would have doubtlessly alerted anything that may have lurked within the room that lay before him. But the darkness remained unstirred; nothing leaped from its depths, nothing crossed the small beam of his ( Read more... )

[ From here.Ludwig had... not anticipated anything like this. The instant after he and John broke through the door, a rush of cool air met them. The room was frigid, and as Ludwig led the way in, he knew exactly where they were. Weighing stations, beds, tables... and worst of all, those refrigerated cabinets in the walls. This was a morgue, and it ( Read more... )

The radio S.T. was carrying crackled to life as Mello made a beeline for the door between him and that hall. Between him and saving Matt, if he was lucky and fast enough. Mello mostly ignored the broadcast, having long since decided the rebels were incompetent at best, and outright tools of the Head Arsehole at worst; and though he ( Read more... )

[From here.]Well... here he was. Ludwig's flashlight played along the empty hallway, and for the first time, he truly felt like he was alone in this place. Up on the second floor, he couldn't even hear the constant hum of activity and movement on the lower floor. In a way, it made sense, given how much distance he'd put between them. But on the ( Read more... )

[From here.]Granted, he wasn't in the clear yet. It was on the stairs themselves that the Doctor had suddenly called out to him, though for the moment he seemed to be completely alone. It meant that he was getting better at this, if he was moving through these areas faster than the other patients. That was good to know, as he was used to being able ( Read more... )

Badd ate his dinner in silence and his roommate afforded him the same courtesy. Tomorrow he'd give the nurses the slip, recapture Kay, give the nurses the slip, and go hunting for the way out of this dump. He had no idea what part of the country they were in but they'd have to run into reliable authorities eventually if they just kept walking. As ( Read more... )

At one point Sora might have noted how the hall was particularly empty, but as things stood, he just made his way around the corner and toward the block's exit without really thinking about it. The fact of the matter was that he'd seen this hall in so many different states (empty, packed full of people, streaked with blood after a ( Read more... )

[ from here ]This hall, she concluded based on the younger Peter's directions, she concluded, was where her uncle's room was. She took a quick look at the nurse's station as she passed it, and the door that led to the patient block. It was the same as on her end, so really, there was nothing special to see, but it was something she committed to ( Read more... )
