NIGHT 74: JANITOR'S CLOSET (THIRD FLOOR)

[freewill]

[From here.]

Castiel hadn't known for certain where they would end up. Logically, the last place they'd been had seemed like the right choice, but he refused to assume that. That was the best case scenario, after all.

But here they were, crammed into this tiny space once again, where he had originally found these cards that they had officially proved to be keys.

It was a far better outcome than he would have expected.

Castiel pocketed his key and turned to make sure the others were in one piece. There was only one door to go through, so it wasn't much of a question where they'd be headed next.

Link listened carefully to the radio, scribbling down the code that Sora's friend read off. A small smile quirked at his lips. His hand shook ever so slightly as he wrote. This was it. This was their big chance.

He could only pray that he had enough information for them to be able to find his home. And everyone else's.

[lighthearted]

So there it was, the information he needed to get home put down on paper. Sora smiled to himself, enjoying the feeling of triumph before he remembered that he didn't have any of his friends with him. He was going to have to find them before he could even think about going back.

While he waited for Lloyd to respond with the information about Link's world, Sora started to move through the small supply closet, looking for anything interesting. That was when he noticed two cards sitting on one of the shelves, just like the ones that Lloyd had told him about. "Hey! I think these might get us into the archive, once we make our way over there," he told Link as he picked them up.

Link straightened up when Sora announced the key cards. He reached for one in Sora's hand, looking them over as he did so. It was a similar material that he had seen in various places around the Institute, but he didn't know the name for it. This little card could get them into the records archive? Fine by him.

A moment later, the radio went off once again.

He looked back to Sora, frowning slightly. Two Hyrules? No, that didn't make any sense.

"Ordon is part of the same world, yes," Link relayed the information to Sora so that he could explain to Lloyd.

[lighthearted]

Sora had already been told how these key cards worked, so he wasn't worried about it. Instead, he slipped the card into his pocket and continued his search, at least up until Lloyd got back to him about Hyrule.

There were two of them? That was kind of strange, and Sora wondered what the explanation for that could be, but Link didn't seem to have any better idea than he did.

He nodded and let Lloyd know before turning back to Link.

"I don't think there's anything else here that we need. Should we start heading in that direction?"

[his_legacy]

Link slipped the card into his hat, where his other key was also stored. He nodded at Sora's question and reached for the door.

"We'll move slowly until the exchange over the radio is done."
