Night 64: Main Hallway, 1-West

Well, that had been painless, but the good time he'd made also meant that he was the first to arrive. Harvey leaned himself up against the wall, swinging his metal pipe around in his hand as he kept an eye out for Scott or Sangamon.

He had to admit, it was strange that their group had been cut down so considerably. He didn't even know if Depth Charge was still around, but it didn't matter to him too much either way, so he hadn't put much thought into it. He figured that one of the others would mention it when they showed up, if they even knew themselves.

While he waited, Harvey grabbed the bone bracelet out of his pocket and started to spin it around in his hand. The skeleton hadn't been too clear about how this worked, but there was an obvious answer about what to do with it, not that he was going to attempt anything until the others had shown up.

It didn’t take long to reach the main corridor, which made Aidou hope the rest of the way to the female block was equally as easy. It’d be just their misfortune to get stuck on a wild goose chase looking for Aigis while Landel amused himself by inflicting a new mind game on them.

In regards to Landel, was the silence so far a sign that he was more concerned with his test tube monsters and whatever was happening in the medical wing? If so, maybe they’d actually have an opportunity to get something done… Well, assuming the side quest Aidou had set them on didn’t eat up all of their time. From what the vampire could see, Aigis wasn’t amongst the few stragglers in the hallway, which just left the female block to check. If she wasn’t there, then he’d have to consider waiting until morning to hunt her down. Without a blood scent to follow, tracking her would be troublesome at best.

He had told her he would step if she was one of the ones who lost her humanity, but that required him to actually know where she was. He and Sasuke couldn’t run around searching all night. So far, though, things seemed quite quiet.

There was hope yet that they could find Aigis quickly and move on from there.

“Did you sleep through Landel’s message tonight?” he asked. “One of the radio people seems to have sent everybody on another scavenger hunt to the medical area. There’s a hint about curing the infection, supposedly.” Which, admittedly, had piqued the vampire's curiosity. Considering that the infection was something that affected all of the prisoners as a whole, any knowledge that Landel's enemies possessed was relevant to their interests.

Had he slept through more than one message? He only remembered waking to one, and the details of its start were fuzzy. Another scavenger hunt, then -- were people still listening to the people on the radio, even after their allegiances had been so flexible? Torn between two powers, both of whom provided only the occasional toy of a prize for whatever their own purposes were.

"Do you believe the people on the radio?" He asked as they turned into the next hall.
