[[Same busses/different busses from first ride? Does it matter?]]

Candy, blood, ice cream, burgers (not as good as the Earl's) and finally a chocolate chip cookie! Even with the psychotic girl attacking her, Rhode had found this trip an all around pleasant experience! Now she was on a sugar rush and well prepared for her Noah side to kick in for the evening. The day had, for once, proven fun, so she was expecting the night to be even better this time.

Maybe she could finally go find that fun playground below. It had been two days and she still hadn't even managed to figure out just how to get down there. It sounded so fun too! Well, not so fun as last night had been. Oh, but maybe the showers would be spewing blood again! That had been so much fun! She hoped for something as entertaining as that, otherwise she'd wind up sorely disappointed. Daytime wasn't supposed to be more fun that nighttime, not at all!

She hopped into a seat close to the front and nibbled away on the cookie she'd been given, thoughts of the evening swimming about her mind as she watched who was getting on. Allen Walker had been on the same one as her last time, so her logic had him ending up with her again. This time she was determined not to either miss him or mistake him for someone else!

Honestly, she should know her Allen Walker by now! He wasn't some tall freak who smiled constantly, or someone shorter than her that had a viscous attack human! And she'd kissed one of the not-Allen's too! It was almost as though she'd been unfaithful to Allen. He didn't have to know about that though; he really didn't.

What a waste of a trip.

That was Anise's first thought as she was ushered onto one of the buses, taking a window seat along the left side. In the end, she hadn't been able to get any information besides rumors and conjecture. Among them, the only information worth considering was the doctor's suggestion of Doyleton being an extension of Landel's. Could it have really been a fake town? She hadn't had a chance to meet any of the townsfolk, or even see the insides of any of those buildings, so it was hard to say whether anything was off or not. Although the lack of a post office really was strange...

...Which made her realize. The blond man she met earlier on Main Street said he had heard there certainly was a post office, but there was no sign of it when she actually searched. No trace of the white-haired man he had told her about, either. As frustrating as it was, she had no choice but to acknowledge it now: he had deceived her.

He'll pay for that, she thought grudgingly.

Forcing away a sour expression that took hold of her face for just a brief moment, she started on the sandwich and milk (a natural choice for a growing girl) she had been given. Having spent the entire day running around town without stopping for lunch, she was admittedly pretty hungry.

The group hadn't made it to the Twin Pines before the nurses started ushering them back to the buses. Sanji didn't believe the small sack dinner he was handed would make up for the meal they would have had at the restaurant, and aside from that he'd still wanted to check the place out. Now he had no way of comparing it to what they served at the asylum and he couldn't help but wonder if the staff had planned it that way.

Somehow in the large crowd of patients and nurses he lost track of his crewmates, something that seemed to be occurring just as often as Usopp warned it would. He had their room numbers now, though. He would find them tonight if not before.

His dinner was eaten quickly and he found it lacking, but he wouldn't complain. What he really needed was a cigarette. Bringing it up on the walk down Main Street earlier had only made him think about it more, and now he was just irritable. He tapped a light broken rhythm on the plastic pane of his window, staring out at the other patients as they were loaded into the buses also.
