Night 57: F11-20 Hallway
Well, that was different. Anise had expected the military's announcement to be brief and to-the-point, but what actually came was a full-on rant. It looked like even Aguilar had a nutty side, too. Both him and Landel kept acting like they were doing everyone a favor with all their twisted plots. Who did they think they were fooling? They were both despicable as far as Anise was concerned.
It looked like the military was offering a new way to get weapons, though. But testing drugs in a place like this? That had to be seriously risky. Anise was glad that most of her friends were already armed, so she didn't have to worry about them being reckless and actually trying something like that.
In any case, it was time for Anise to go, and she needed to get an early start so she could deliver her gift bags. One such bag, a little drawstring bag with a white and blue floral design on it, was left on her desk with a small note reading 'Edgar'. She hoped he'd come and take it, as it was hard to tell whether he really intended to or not. The guy really looked like he could use a little help.
Next up were Tear and Ilia, who were fortunately in the same hallway as Anise. With her nightshift gear and the last two gift bags in hand, Anise gave Utena a quick goodbye before hurrying out of her room. The orange and yellow bag was left on Ilia's door handle, and then the pink and brown one was left on Tear's. Each bag contained granola bars (three for Edgar and Tear, two for Ilia), as well as gummy bears, fruit gummies, and chocolates - all separated by type, wrapped in colorful tissue paper, and tied with thread. All of them also contained a small to-and-from note with a few hearts doodled on the paper, just to make it look more cheerful.
There! She hoped that would help cheer her friends up, and maybe improve their health a little too.
Now that she was done with that, it was off to meet Claude and Guy! Anise quickly double-checked to make sure she had everything she needed - jacket, mallet, binoculars, Tokunaga, flashlight - then started to make her way towards the block exit.

She had learned one new thing about the soldier, though – through a sneaky, well-timed peek at his dog tags, she now knew his name! She had even used it a few times, and though he never responded to it, he hadn’t told her to stop, which made her very happy! It was almost as fun as the grumpy faces he made when she tried to hold his hand, or jump on him.
The little creature also remembered being eager as ever to eat the food that was left with her – it may not have been the best thing she had ever had for dinner, but despite what everyone else said, she thought it tasted fine! Still, a little more of it wouldn’t have hurt, especially after such a long day...it felt like the moment she started eating it, it was gone!
It must have been right after she finished that she cuddled up to her pillow – though she didn’t recall the action so much as the thought that a nap would be nice...
When she next opened her eyes, it was completely dark – she had slept through any announcement from the intercom, and Sonia had long since come and gone. She could sense people moving around the halls, and from the way the different energies felt as they hummed together, they’d been doing so for quite a while.
Mokona finally sat up and yawned powerfully, stretching her tiny limbs and wiping the last bit of sleep from her eyes. She tumbled out of bed and blinked carefully into the darkness, her white hair and uniform noticeably ruffled. A little chirp of accomplishment left her as she effortlessly located her flashlight for the second night in a row – and as soon as she had turned it on, she was out the door, her focus trained on that soft, familiar glow of magic...one she always searched for the instant the lights went out.
