Day 26 Nightshift: Hallway Outside of F & M Blocks

Just a bit further now, just a bit further into the woods before the wolf would pounce on her. At least he wouldn't be wearing her grandmother's clothes this time. That ruse was always so irritating, not to mention amateur of a skilled assassin.

But wolves had never been proper assassins anyway. The steel blade was pointed and flew.

No one yet. The hall was surprisingly empty, but he hoped he was just making good time. He hurried along, eager to get to the hallway outside the sun room. He stopped in his tracks a moment later though. There was a strong... familiar presence in the building. It felt like a level 3, maybe stronger. He had to hurry!

Quatre stopped and pressed his hand against his heart. This was where Relena had said she would meet him, and it also happened to be half-way between his and Duo's rooms, where he said he would meet his fellow pilot. It worked out.

Now if only he could shake the feeling of dread. At least it wasn't causing his heart to go into over-drive. That would have been extremely unpleasant.

Quatre kept his eyes and eyes open for trouble, and for any sign of his friends.

Quatre said that they'd meet halfway, but Duo wasn't entirely sure where that would be. It was safe to say that if he kept heading towards the blond pilot's room, he'd eventually meet up with him.

And wouldn't you know, there he was, standing outside one of the other room blocks. The female room block, no doubt, considering the women periodically coming out of it. Funny how it ended up being the place that Quatre had suggested meeting Relena, though it didn't seem that the other girl was there yet.

"What's the matter, Quatre?" Duo greeted with a cheerful grin, despite the obvious dread-like feeling pressing down around the place. Creepy as hell, but Duo could work with creepy. "Did our date stand us up, or is she still getting her makeup on?"

Farfarello had a sinking feeling he knew where he was headed, even as he followed the increasing heaviness in the air. The Sun Room... it didn't have good luck for him, but damn if curiosity didn't always win out over logic, with him. Peril of being a madman, that.

Moving at a run, now that he was out of the Sun Room and no longer in view of the enemy, Farfarello headed back towards the patient rooms, scanning visually for River as he went.

And further the Nobody moved into the darkness, keeping an eye out for any moving shadow.

The so-called 'underground' the Head Doctor had mentioned had piqued the Superior's interest. What could possibly lie hidden below this very institute? A way out, perhaps? However, even if something that might be of value lay hidden below their very feet, Xemnas hardly knew how to reach the place. After all, he hadn't mapped the entire institute thus far.

The block was eerily quiet, and emptier than she'd seen it on most nights. With the pain in her arm regulated to a dull ache, Miku walked to the Men's block. It would take her a while, but, she could check on Alfons and... Ritsuka's so called friend. With the creepy, possessive way he'd acted on the bulletin board, Miku already disapproved of him. She padded along and to the first block. There was an odd, weighty feeling on the back of her mind, and an awful, thick scent of copper.

Lust moved through the hallways, her flashlight beam out in front of her to light the way. Damn a need for it! But she had to collect Gluttony and meet with the others.

He'd be in the M-block, somewhere.

Lyta didn't exactly wait for a reply as she pushed open the door into the main hall between the two patient blocks. Now they'd have to figure out how the hell to get down underground.

Fox wasn't sure where he was going, he had no idea where to find her, she had been wandering around last night...

But maybe Lyta could help? He had been heading towards the female patient block when he saw her.

"Lyta." Fox rarely showed much emotion in his voice, but it was particularly flat and emotionless tonight.

He stood in the hallway, almost stunned. The feelings ahead of him... He had no worries of ever losing his nature to humanity, if he continued to be fed this well. Far superior to the steak. Far superior to the waffles. The taste of suffering, fear, despair...

It was intoxicating. Frankly, this much of a miasma in an area was not a good sign for him, as much as he enjoyed it. He was not... what he once had been. He was at least partially human, now, and whatever caused such anguish was not something that he would likely encounter and come away healthily.

The intercom had mentioned a 'student' in there. Such a dark aura could almost have been Mazoku. But he did not suspect the creature inside was likely to agree to an alliance while under the control of this institute. The potential for later, though...

Against his better mind, almost drawn by the darkness, Xelloss decided to step into the room. Just to look.

His heart was pounding and his face felt a bit red from excess blood flow as he stepped into the hallway again, and quickly stepped a bit further from the Sun Room doors, approaching but not passing through the doors opposite. This was a bit more humanity, a bit more mortality, than he'd wanted to have a sample of. Xelloss took a few slow, deep breaths; that was what he'd seen humans doing, at least, when they wanted to calm down.

What was across the hall from him was obviously out of his current league. Someone unleashed by this place to offer a challenge. For the moment, at least, there was no question of getting into the kitchen and his promised meeting with Seishirou; the only route he knew into the Cafeteria was blocked.

So instead, Xelloss decided to wait and see if Seishirou came this way despite, or as in Xelloss's case because of, the dark aura nearby.

HK continued down the hall, happy to be moving away from the source of the bad feeling. Yet another reason to hate being a meatbag- this sort of thing would have never affected him, if he was still a droid.

SubZero was eager to meet up with Logan and the girls, if only to get it out of the way.

"Are you sure this is the right place? I think we're in the wrong area."

Through another hallway and past others - none familiar, so she didn't bother stopping - and Max continued on her way. She remembered staircases in the main hall but wasn't sure any of them led down. Couldn't hurt to check, though, she figured, and retraced her steps from previous nights in hopes of finding them once more.

"Where the hell am I?" Bella whispered to herself, peering around as she continued to shine the flashlight. Damn, this place was getting on her nerves. The Edward voice was still yelling at her, yet she simply rolled her eyes and simply continued on her not so merry way.

With a glare in either direction, Caim made his way down to the junction between the cell blocks and the rest of the institute. Furthest from the patient's rooms, Farfarello had said ... Which meant to his left.

[voiceless-rage.livejournal.com]

[thirdtonever.livejournal.com]

There - the stairs he had taken on his first night here. Chase stole closer to them, bypassing anyone in his way, and ascended to the second floor. Surely, there would be something interesting there.

[thirdtonever.livejournal.com]

[wontshutup.livejournal.com]

The pressure was getting worse now, but Keigo managed to keep it from distracting him enough to keep moving. Maybe if he didn't think about it, it would go away! Right. He flickered the flashlight around himself, keeping the light only a foot or so ahead of his steps as he kept moving.

[thirdtonever.livejournal.com]

Still clutching his bloody and burned arm and hand to his chest, Chase made his way down the stairs at the far end of the hall. He paused as his feet set on the ground, grimacing at his wounds; he'd been foolish to think that he could take a woman alone.

Especially one made by this place. Especially when she was armed. He didn't fight any better with a weapon than with his own two hands (the reverse was true, actually; his skills with his hands were incredible as compared to a weapon), but when you were fighting someone who felt no pain or fatigue and refused to give up ...

Well, there were other rooms. He'd just have to check them, and hope nobody else tried to kill him.

[madvampireking.livejournal.com]

Alucard was rushing towards the female blocks. He had overslept through dinner, and Master was not going to be pleased in the least. He had failed her yet again, and he didn't want her to think of him as useless without his great power.

That was, until the strong, overpowering scent of blood -and cooked flesh- hit him face on. It was unmistakable, someone, or something was on the verge of death. And where there was death...there was food. For him. The vampire changed his course, heading towards where the fresh kill would be.

Integra would be displeased, but the call of his insatiable appetite was sadly, greater.

As the boy rounded the corner, he came upon what looked like an argument that got out of hand rather quickly. It looked like the pinned man was going to be killed--or worse.

Considering the fact that Artemis was a self-serving bastard was no hero, he wasn't about to try to pull the predator away from his prey. All he could do was run and hope the prey would somehow get away, or that the predator wouldn't come after him next.

Catching the slightest glimpse of the man's face, Artemis ran as fast as he could away from the fight, eyes wide.

Was the predator about to rip out the man's throat?

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Artemis tore open the door to the M Block, not even looking behind him. Suffice it to say, he was too frightened to do much else besides what he had his mind set on.

When Yuffie stepped outside the block, sans flashlight, she paused to glance at the ones still lingering around. There wasn't much light, so she couldn't make out faces. Oh well.

She knew what was to the right: more hallway, the sun room (no way, thanks), stairs, the second floor. But to the left, well... Somewhere down their was the field, right? But what else?

Curiosity getting the better of her, she shouldered the pillow case and headed to the left.

Sheska shuffled past patients and folk as fast as she could, smiling politley every so often. So far, so good. Nobody followed her or even spoke to here, all too busy with their own fears and missions.

Walking out into a larger hallway, Keman looked over his shoulder to make sure that Valyn--and the mage light--were still following him.

"So...what did he give you?" the young dragon asked as soon as his friend was within earshot. He was curious to see what was in that bloody handkerchief.

[notmyfather.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm not sure."

Valyn paused and reached down to his thigh, fishing out the wag of napkin. He wrinkled his nose some at the blood all over it. He unwrapped it carefully, the blood clinging to his fingers.

When he got it open, he simply stared. He knew exactly what he multi-faceted brown stone in his hand was. It was set into silver, it was clearly a ring of some sort. It was hardly the sort of elegant ring that elves wore - the stone was polished and cut, but it was still simply a square - and there was no design on the silver, but....

"Keman. Look." He held out his hand, lifting his eyes to watch the dragon's face when he saw what Renji had given him.

Though she knew that some form of response in regard to her sudden manner of snapping again at the woman she'd been trying to comfort earlier, Ashe was quiet with a stiff upper lip as she continued to lead the way. There was little more she wished to speak on, and yet she feared further conversation would be necessary if they were to work effectively together.

Everyone had skeletons in their closets. So it appeared that she and Nadine at least shared that in common.

[nadine-he-loves.livejournal.com]

"I hate this place."

Nadine was prone to sudden outbursts, with little or no preamble. But the opressive feeling and the grime and rust of the place was getting to her. It made her think of the end of the world, and how New York had fallen into ruin. It was a mockery of a hospital, as New York had become a mockery of a metropolis.

"It feels evil."

Had Leon known what he missed with his flashlight while going through the hallway here, his current confident air would have faded drastically. Chase's body was not in his way, however, and still freshly dead to cause any real smell of decay. He simply kept walking, off to the next hall to continue his search.

Phibrizzo slipped into the new hallway and, waiting for a moment (but not too long, lest it seem unnatural), turned back the way he had come and inquired, "Did you see which way she went?! She was right there!"

Was there anything to this hallway as far as entertainment went or would he have to keep moving? He noted with some amusement the presence of his room mate, but so long as he didn't call too much attention to himself, he doubted the other would notice him.

[damned-monsters.livejournal.com]

Gluttony wasn't the only one that was hungry.

The creatures watched them from the safe shadows above, two pairs of eyes barely visible below a protective wrap of wings. The night was their time to hunt, and here was a fine feast indeed. With a chattering cry their wings flew open, and the two massive bats swooped down on the group below, mouths open wide and ready to devour.

These halls were even more crowded than the ones they had just left. Kenshin paused again, this time hoping to make idle conversation with the man he was going to be travelling with tonight.

"What's it like, back where you're from?"

[uruz-vii.livejournal.com]

Sousuke came out of the door in a blink, pole over his shoulder. He stopped and surveyed his surroundings--he was sure that he'd seen a stairwell somewhere around here...

Wait... was that Robin? "Hood-san?" Sousuke called tentatively, approaching the two men slowly. He couldn't see very well in the dark, and he only assumed the other two couldn't as well. He'd seen far too many battlefield accidents consisting of fellow soldiers sneaking up on each other. He wasn't about to startle Robin and the other man and cause himself injury.
