Night 69: Main Hallway 2-West

Scar shone his flashlight down the second floor hallway. It seemed to be deserted as always, but God only knew what might come out at them.

"I don't think there's anything down this first hall. I woke in one of the rooms there last night."

Comments

Ed shrugged at Al to say 'I don't know'.

Then Scar spoke and he had to pay attention. "Okay, Al and I can explore there some other time then. Should we do the next hallway?"

"I haven't spent much time up here," Lust admitted, glancing around. "Just the times I've been here with you." She nodded to Scar. Her other nightly adventures had kept her on the ground level, one way or another. "I suppose I don't need to mention we should all be on our guard."

Who knew what had been set loose up here tonight?

[armoredsoul]

Al nodded, shifting his grip on the sword. "Don't have to tell me twice," he murmured, glancing warily about. "We might as well take that second hallway, since we don't know where we might miss something."

He slipped his flashlight out of his pocket and flicked it on, shining it further down the hall to illuminate any hidden dangers.

"The morgue is down there. As well as autopsy rooms, I would assume. And we know that possessions storage is on the eastern end of the building." It was logical to take the second hall.

Scar only nodded in acknowledgement of Lust's comment. He was already wound tight for a potential, perhaps inevitable attack. He was cautious as they arrived at the next turn, flashing his light all around before starting down it.

Scar was the first to re-enter the main hallway with brisk, long strides intended to keep him at the front. He flashed his light down either end, ensuring that they were alone.

"I awoke down that hall." He indicated the hallway to the right, his movements faltering for a moment. There were brief times like this where it hit him once again that he had, indeed, died a second time. "There could be examination rooms near the morgue." It was a suggestion, at least.

Ed stretched his legs in an attempt to keep up with Scar, mentally grumbling about freakishly tall people all the while.

He nodded and looked down the hall, automail blade held in guard position. "That way, then."

[a_sin_for_him]

It made sense to Lust.

"Was there anything of note in there?" She may as well ask, considering Scar had experience with the room in question. And likely they did perform experiments there. Or what they passed off as experiments, at least.

At this point, any manner of supplies would be useful.

Alphonse trotted along with the rest of them, hanging back a little to keep the rearguard--thought at the moment, he felt like he was the one that needed guarding the most.

[envy_the_sinners]

"It was pitch black. I didn't have a light." No, all they had given him was a goddamn sheet.

But given the nature of this hallway, it was lucky nothing had found him. Given their collective luck so far tonight, he wouldn't count on that happening again. This in mind, Scar kept to the front as he made his way down the hallway in the direction of the morgue.
