Nightshift 26: F-Block Hallway

Shining the flashlight around the corner, Rukia didn't see any other patients around, which was fine with her at the moment. She wanted to get to Colonel Mustang quickly, and hopefully Renji wouldn't take too long to meet her...

Jogging along quietly, she continued on.

"Hmm? Did it? I guess that means I'm either crazy like they said, or sick like Anise and Luke," Peony said, just as cheery as ever. Honestly? He'd expected a little bit of disparity in memory. None of them had gone over exactly what moments they last remembered last, and Peony hadn't really cared to up until now, so he wasn't surprised. That issue would just come up when it came up - and now it had come up.

And he couldn't really tell the difference - to him, Gailardia hadn't really aged a day. Neither had Jade, but everyone knew that Jade was a creepy vampire who didn't age anyway.

One hand rested on his hip, the other still moving the shine-tube around in front of him. "So- has anything happened in a year? I'm guessing you guys canned Van, but other than that.."

As Guy had expected, Peony just didn't seem to care. It was the complete opposite of Luke, who had been beating himself up over it for no real reason. As weird as it sounded, the redhead could take a lesson or two from Peony.

"Well, yeah, Van is dead." It was strange to say it just like that, but it had been a year for Guy since that had happened, and he had put it behind him. It hadn't been easy for him to forget about the past he'd had with that man for long enough to kill him, but they had all managed somehow. He had continued to remind himself that Tear had to have it that much worse, and it made it a little easier to deal with.

"Things calmed down after that, but... Well, Luke disappeared." He wasn't sure if Peony had heard about that (probably not, or the timeline difference would have been noticed earlier). "We were all going about our lives, waiting for him to come back. That's about it, really."

To get to F24, they had to turn here, right? Guy kept an eye out as he moved on, though it was Peony who would be recognizing their companion for the night.
