Night 67: F-A Block Hallway

The homunculus covered the ground to the main women's hall quickly, her flashlight in her hand but currently off. She could see well enough in the dark, and she had little desire to get caught in some conversation as she had had happen all too often in the dorm halls.

She checked the mental map she'd memorized - roughly - of the place. The Greenhouse was on the far side of the building...what would be the quickest route? God, she wished she knew which doors were accessible and which weren't.

Ah well. It was a mostly straight trip across the Institute....

"Right," Sonia confirmed with a nod, moving beside Flora so her own back was against the wall as well. "First, I need to ask: do you have any powers?" From what she'd learned, some people retained their powers here, but they weren't as strong as they remembered them being.

"Our mission is to clear the path to the greenhouse as best we can, so that others heading that way can get to the cure. There might be a trap in the greenhouse, so let's try to focus on getting there first." Kratos hadn't given her specific instructions, but he had told her to do something about the issue she'd raised with him earlier, which was to help people on their way to the cure tonight. She just hoped whatever Landel had planned didn't get in the way of that; it felt like wishful thinking, at this point.

"Understood. As for powers..." Flora rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Yes. I can create concussive blasts of energy. I'm not sure what else--I'm missing a lot of them." She sighed mildly. Sonia would probably expect that, but it still wasn't easy to deal with.

"I can also listen to plants, so if there's a trap in the greenhouse, I might be able to pick up on it, but they all haven't been talking to me like they would normally, so we'll still have to keep on our guard." That point left her feeling especially uneasy. If they were scared, she'd be able to feel and hear that for herself, but when asked certain questions, Flora just received a very disconnected silence on the line. It wasn't something she was at all used to and was more than a little disconcerting, to say the least. The silence wasn't absolute, though, and while she wouldn't count on luck, it sure would be nice to have, tonight.

Sonia could sympathize with that. "Same here," she said. "It's good that you've still got some of them. My powers are gone, but I can get by without them." That had sounded just a lit-tle too cocky, but at least it was true. Well, up till this point it was.

As the other girl went on to add that she could listen to plants, Sonia allowed a surprised expression to show on her face. Incredible! If they'd had someone like that on Mobius... 'Mind on what you're doing, Sonia.' "That's alright," she reassured her new teammate. The last thing she wanted was for Flora to feel like it was her responsibility to detect trouble before it found them.

The princess moved away from the wall and switched her flashlight back on. "Okay. Let's go."
