NIGHT 64: M-A BLOCK HALLWAY

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar made his way through the halls, knowing for once exactly where he was going. He fiddled with the scalpel between his fingers as he walked at a brisk pace, knowing full well that the tiny knife would hardly do him any good. But it was better than nothing, should he come across anything along his way.

Though he had been moved to a different room, the layout of the patient blocks did not differ from one another. Seishin made his way through the hallways, finding the door leading out of the patient block without any difficulty.

[From here, and for Badd.]

He didn't go far from his room before he stopped, but not because the middle of the block hallway was a great place to wait for Badd. It was doubt and anxiety that gave him pause, and for good reason.

What if it wasn't safe to be around Badd? If Landel's threat was true... I-it wasn't like he could ignore this rash hiding under his suit jacket forever, as much as he wanted to. What if he became a monster tonight? He'd be putting his best friend in danger and, even if Badd was strong enough to take care of himself, that wasn't something Byrne wanted his friend to deal with. The way the nurses had changed the night before--would he change like that?

...Sigh. Should he just go off on his own tonight, then? He had no idea what he'd be doing (other than avoiding the Medical Wing at all costs), but it might be better off for the people he cared about if he did...

As they reached the end of the hall, Sora took a left, which was really the only direction to go. "As you can see, there are lots of other patients like us who are being kept here," he said, referring to the other doors that they'd passed.

They continued down the hall and neared a door on the right. "That's the bathroom," he explained. Usually there wasn't much reason to go there at night, so he kept moving until the exit door came into sight. "And that's where we're heading!" he said, pointing ahead. "It'll take us into the rest of the building."

It was always pretty confusing to wake up at night rather than in the morning, which was why Sora was glad he was here to help Link through it all. He still didn't feel very good, but the idea of finding a way to fix it was motivating him to move forward.

What was this place...?

X's legs had started to agree with him, at least to some degree, holding up his full weight (his much, much lighter weight. Really, where was his armor? Why did he look so...so human? How could he breathe? How could he...?) even while they shook with each step.

Yet another long hallway. Blocks of rooms, and now this.

X's legs shook, fingers touching along the walls as he scaled them, not trusting his eyes nor the dulled feeling in his ears.

Ears.

Nothing was working; it was as though he was never installed with any of his functions at all.

It was almost as though...

Calm down. Keep moving. There'll be answers to your questions if you just keep moving.

...he was human.

No, that couldn't be. There was no way. Even if his legs weren't working the same way, even if all of his senses felt like they had a dark tarp wrapped over them, that didn't mean that he was something other than himself.

Think about it. You're breathing. Your legs feel like they're not even yours. You can't speak properly. Even if that's not the case, something happened. The only thing now is to find out what.

His legs buckled, and he fell onto his knees on the floor again with a groan.

Come on, work! I know how to walk, this shouldn't be so hard.

Wild Tiger was good enough to stop and wave his flashlight around the intersecting hallway before he deemed it safe to actually traverse it. Again, he noticed how few people were passing through the hallway. The murmurings of a few patients could be heard, the flicker of lights seen, but enough to warrant the amount of rooms in this block. Or they just all ran out faster than he did. Wow, that didn't make him feel old or anything.

"Kids..." he muttered sorely as he continued to inspect the corridor around them.
