Nightshift 27: Hallway outside of M1-M40 block

[tartaros-avatar.livejournal.com]

[From here]

Recluse stopped at the agreed upon meeting spot, scanning the halls for any sign of Marcus. Typical. Of course he'd be made to wait. He found a spot that was darker than most, hands clenching and unclenching as he waited, seething.

Usopp's room was in this block. Or should be. Pausing, Sai had to take a moment to try and recall the room number. He'd gotten it, hadn't he?

A nod of the head and he was off again, switching the heavy flour to his other arm.

Hiei barely gave pause as he left his block of rooms, already feeling the rush of actually making progress. Something would be done that night, and that was enough to push Hiei to the border of recklessness. He wasn't foolish, however, and as he continued to move, his Jagan eye opened in the hopes that he would be able to sense something, anything that might be approaching.

The RV point was somewhere in this cell block. TK kept moving, starting slightly as his glowrod's beam passed over a large man carrying knives. He kept his distance, moving quickly. As much as he would have liked to know where the man had gotten that knife, he really didn't feel like talking to someone who looked so angry, lurking in a dark corner. Especially not with the reaction the man had made to the light. It didn't exactly inspire confidence in his mind.

And a left here... So many hallways in this place! One had to wonder how large the building looked from the outside.

She reached the door to enter the men's block and pushed it open before slipping inside and closing it quietly behind herself.

Zabuza moved quickly through this area to his next, completely ignoring Recluse for now. He didn't believe that he completely went by the man's senses, no matter how carefully he moved and how trained he was as a ninja. It wasn't that he didn't think he was good at concealing himself, he just had a feeling that the man was just that good.

If he wasn't, Zabuza would be disappointed. For now, though, he didn't care.

He wanted to see Haku.

The hall blocks weren't too active yet - which was more than fine with him. Fewer people to distract him or attack him - but there were still enough people for any monsters to use as targets instead of him.

Rein led Raine to the door to the first men's block and promptly assumed the demeanour of a parent trying very hard but failing miserably not to be condescending on their child's first day at a new school. "Raine, you know the way right? Just turn right into the first row and it's the fifth door..."

A distance of less than a hundred feet, but she couldn't help but worry. She was still leaving Raine to fend for herself where she might not have. "Be careful."

[per-ardua.livejournal.com]

Raine nodded, doing her best to hide her own worry; M35 wasn't far, but she'd never been on her own during Nightshift before. And she may have exaggerated her combat skills a little... she wasn't a fighter, she was a support mage and healer, and wouldn't even be able to use Photon if she wanted to be any use to the Aid Society that night. She'd fought with a broom before, but not alone and not without magic to back her up.

Still, she gave a reassuring smile, knowing how the other woman felt, and said "You too. I'll see you in the morning." Reinforce could take care of herself (undoubtedly better than I can), but--Raine considered her a friend, and this place was more than a little dangerous.

The hallway was surprisingly empty as Gin walked the last few steps. But Ran had mentioned that she had other things to take care of. It was no real surprise that she wasn't here just yet.

His headache from using his kidou earlier had mostly subsided, now just a dull ache that was annoying, but shouldn't get in the way of his work. Her reiatsu wasn't far, that much he could tell. He'd no idea about this other person he was supposed to work with. Hisoka Kurosaki? Well, he'd find out soon enough. Gin settled into a comfortable position where he could see the people that were coming and going and waited quietly.

Hisoka slowed down the moment he walked through the door, his eyes sweeping the halls for any monsters that may have been lurking before anything. He had done the same after walking through each of the doors, but never as thorough (he had been in a hurry, after all). During his search, the boy caught sight of a man (who just had to have silver hair) and considering he was the only one waiting, Hisoka approached with a bit of caution in mind.

"I'm sorry I'm late, are you waiting for Matsumoto-san?"

Albel went from one hallway into another. Ignoring the scum standing around and wasting their time here, he quickly continued.

There was no change between the hallways, this one being just as empty and just as quiet. Well, empty except for the silver haired man, but Siegfried paid him no mind.

Upon reaching the end of the hallway, Siegfried paused. He knew what was left of here, but did not know what was right. Perhaps he’d take a different route tonight.

Walking out of the M-Block, Yuber paused momentarily in the hallway, but found that apart from one other, the corridor seemed to have been rather empty. With the hallway being this empty, then it meant that he had no other option but to wait until Logan arrived. Taking a few steps from the door, Yuber felt the cool touch of the wall press against his back as he leant against the surface. Folding his arms across his chest, he stood there silently.

There was nothing to do now but to wait.

After already being blinded by the lights carried by several other prisoners, Recluse's mood hadn't exactly improved. So when he found that someone was looking at him, his immediate response was to glare, eyes glowing with blood red light.

He just wanted Marcus to show himself so that he could be on his way. Why does he always make me wait?

Beatrix traveled through the darkness, the ambient light from the rest of the prisoners' flashlight her guide. There were several groups of people here and some of them looked armed to an extent. She vaguely wondered where they'd found the weapons as she contemplated her next move.

These people looked like they knew what they were doing as well as their way around this mental institute. They had to have the information she wanted. But there were too many people in this hallway for her to feel comfortable acquiring what she needed.

... and the the two women parted ways, one going left and one going right, with destinations obviously in mind. The Bride narrowed her eyes a moment, deciding at random which one to 'talk' to.

She followed Raine (http://community.livejournal.com/damned/219907.html) into the next hall.

Having gotten some information, Beatrix needed to get a better feel of this place. She needed to learn her hunting grounds first. She hoped, with all she had, that by searching this place she'd find BB. She could get her daughter to safety and then come back and kill Martin Landel.

Harry at least had thought to ask his nurse how to get to Renji's room before he went to have dinner. It was a simple matter of finding the right hall. He gripped his flashlight tightly, his other fist was also clenched around the boxcutter that Javert had given him. He would have preferred to have his wand, but he couldn't be picky during a time like this.

The scars on his hand were white against the tight skin of his fists, but the darkness hid them from sight.

He paused only to orient himself and then continued to move towards the next male block.

Severus grumbled under his breath but said nothing too loud as he caught up with Harry. This was going to be a long night.

Back outside the cell block again. 622 found a fairly sensible place to wait, scanning the halls. No sign of Claire yet...

The big man who had glared at him before was still here. 622 did his best to not shine the light directly at him again, not wanting to anger someone holding a knife like that.

"This is probably the best place to wait." He didn't want to have to wait long, but he was even more worried about Claire's safety than his own. He was considering moving on to some place closer to the female cell block, but there were several paths that could be taken, and he didn't want to risk missing her.

Faust nodded. "Alright." He flexed his fingers and kept watch around.

He kind of tried to keep a low profile, and keep out of the way of any others (at any other time, he'd be more willing to help stragglers if he weren't already involved with something else), but it was easier said than done when his body was completely solid, and the beam of his flashlight kept crossing with other's.

More or less, he wanted as little attention as possible when he moved to open the eye and search out Ojou's location. It was an odd sensation, to feel rusty at it, but yet knowing that was impossible since it was a skill as inherent as anything else about him. And the sense of fatigue whenever he used it... well, that was something he would have to rectify, and fast.

Ren kept moving. Outside the hallway numbered with 30s and 40s - easy enough to find on foot.

Finally outside the M-block. Cliff took a look around to get his bearings and make sure no monsters were present before moving on up the hallway. No use trying the kitchen now anyway, right?

And once again, nothing. Apparently there could be plenty of halls in a place like this...

"Shit," Sanji muttered, moving on.

Xemnas moved out of the M block into yet another hallway. A quick scan of his surroundings proved the area to be absent of monsters. He quickly continued.

The first door to the left should be it, after the second nurse station. Assuming the dormitories were ordered in the manner he suspected, of course.

"We're very nearly there! Probably." Xelloss informed Danny, still cheerful. "And no monsters yet. Maybe we'll get to see some later."

With that hopeful (?) note, he headed into the block of rooms.

From the door, Sasuke turned right and found the open doorway to the next hall. There was a moment of uncertainty (with which he was extremely displeased) as he let go of the right side of the frame and switched to the left, makeshift Kusanagi hefted to attack position. He'd need to follow the left wall from now on.

He could still hear Kakashi moving behind him, but he suspected that it was at least partially because he actually knew the man was there. Shinobi silence meant that -- should Kakashi choose to match Sasuke, who'd already shifted to moving as quietly as possible -- Sasuke would actually have to trust his companion to stay with him.

The realisation didn't make him much happier.

[raptscarecrow.livejournal.com]

Kakashi said nothing in response to the radio's message, but he immediately agreed with Sasuke's previous use of the phrase less coherently.

He was glad to find that his movement wasn't impeded much, not when it came to stealth, at least, and he automatically minimized his shifting and the noise from it. Continuing to follow, he noted Sasuke's method of movement.

"Tell me if you want to switch," he said shortly. Doing so would ultimately mean having to sacrifice some of his silence for Sasuke's sake, but if it couldn't be helped, it couldn't be helped.

As Raiden stepped back out into the hallway, he decided that he would need to find Axel the next day. He wanted to know about what had happened to his roommate, since it definitely hadn't sounded good. Raiden had been strapped to a table himself in the past (probably more times than he could currently remember, but he didn't want to think too hard about that), so he could relate.

More importantly than that, though, he wanted to know what was being done to people. It would give him more of an idea as to whether the Patriots were involved at all.

Granted, Snake could have all of the answers to these questions and then it would be a moot point. He was getting increasingly worried that the man wouldn't be there, since he knew Snake wouldn't one to stick around in his room when there was some alternative, but he would just have to get there and see.

Omi paused outside the block, watching the various people milling about and making their way to one place or another. He had a destination in mind, true, but getting there was just as important. The obvious way to the kitchen was through the sun room. If last night had been any indication, the sun room was also about the last place he'd want to go at night.

So. Time to find an alternate route.
