Nightshift 27: 2nd Floor Hallway near Medical Reference Library and Railed Area
[from here]
Once they were safely at the top of the stairs, Ritsuka flicked on his flashlight and swept the area. It was probably unwise to announce their position, but he needed to know where he was. For all the times Ritsuka had been up here, he had never really gotten very far and his memory was fuzzy. Somewhere to his right was the pharmacy, near the railing, where he needed to stop for supplies for Tamaki.
Whether he should stop there first or after their explorations, however, was the problem. Turning to the right, he started forward and tried not to show any fear. He wanted to get things done tonight, even if it meant facing the worst that Landel's had to offer. He just hoped he wouldn't have to do that just yet.

Rinali's hand on his shoulder was welcome, despite the reply of "I'm fine," that he had to choke back. It was such an automatic reaction, it was sometimes difficult to just let someone care or worry over him. He placed his other hand over hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. He had to be strong right now, there was no time for them to delay. These people could be hurt, in pain, while they delayed!
The hallway had a strange cast to it, which didn't help his memories of this place. What little light there was had a deep red tint to it and it wasn't difficult to catch the scent of blood in the air.
While he agreed with Robin on the accomodations here, the beds were nice, the food, well, everything but the open showers; it was all very nice. But about the same as what the Order offered their staff. He hadn't really thought that much on it. And being human? Well... of course they were! Allen would certainly know if someone wasn't. Like Renji and Rukia and the others. Or that strange Akuma earlier that had so many souls. "Well, yes," Allen commented as he followed, "Did you run into some who weren't?" It wouldn't hurt to be aware of any other possible Akuma.

Still, there was no time to worry about it now.
For the moment she was content to let the other three do the talking. She was busily watching around them, trying to keep her bearings straight in case she needed to make her way here again.

"There's all sorts you be, other than human. Any other animal. I hear tell there's a book here, too. Imagine, a book that talks!" He smiledto himself. Why not, eh? He ought to be honet and, quite fankly, he was faced with a new shock and tall-tale everyday.
"I'm a fox. A real, no-foolin' fox. And a legend to some folk here. Bet you weren't expecting that? But don't you worry none, I'm not all that different. Don't have any magical powers though. Wish I did. Now it's your turn. What are your stories?"
