Things That Go Bump in the Night

May 24, 2011 02:08

John rolled his neck, the continual hours of slaving over a microscope over the past few weeks had taken their toll on his body. Stretching he made his way from one of the smaller labs to his room, cracking a few bones as he walked. Yawning a little he smiled, things had quieted down somewhat since the recovery of the crate of blood and people ( Read more... )

With Nikola off with Helen and Will off doing analyzy things, Devon took it upon herself to go poke her nose where it probably didn't belong. It was late and most of the residents were sleeping, apart from the nocturnal ones. She hadn't met too many of the staff, other than Helen, Nikola, Ashley and Will. She was keeping an eye out for the Big Foot that apparently roamed the wild halls. She smirked as she crept down the hallway. This seemed to be a residential wing and she'd rather find something more fun. Like a library. Or a weapons room. Or something with things that had buttons.

After listening a moment longer, hearing the footsteps approach then pass his door John decided to check out who was intruding at this hour. A moment of concentration was all it took for John to appear on the other side of his door at the end of the hallway, in a position he judged to be immediately in front of the newcomer, cane grasped in his hand.

Devon looked up in shock as someone materialized in front of her. "Eep!" she gave a little jump in surprise towards the wall.

Eyes wide, she stared up. And up. "You poofed," she said, pointing at him. This must be the 'friend' Nikola had mentioned earlier. He was half dressed and seemed all the more menacing for it. The cane didn't look too friendly either.

Not sure what to do, she held her hands up. She didn't want to get in crap for blasting someone who was friendly, but wasn't going to sit and let herself bet beaten either. Tapping into her energy, she waited for his next move.

John reached out with his free hand and grabbed the stranger's wrist in the blink of an eye, "Observant," he commented coolly, "And who may I ask are you?" he asked in the same icy tone.

Nikola walked quietly through the halls. He had taken it on himself to do a sort of patrol after Helen had gone to sleep. Devon's little marks seemed to be doing their job, but Nikola wasn't a trusting man by nature. At one time he had been, but that lesson was hard learned. He slipped nearly silently through the halls on his circuit of the Sanctuary.

(OOC: is this intended to be just Nikola/John or did you want to continue from the kitchen scene with Devon?)

(OOC: That's fine with me)

After having said goodnight to Devon, John headed back to his room. The night had begun simple enough and ended with an interesting conversation and some homemade food. John was content and ready for bed, it would take a lot to spoil his night.

Turning the corner, heading towards the residential wing he groaned inwardly. Nikola was coming down the hallway, if anything could ruin his night, that was it.

"Nikola," he said coolly as they approached, "What brings your prowling in the witching hour? Is Helen's bed not satisfactory?"
