Day 28: Bus 2

[hajike-tobiume.livejournal.com]

Momo tugged on the collar of the light blue sweater she was wearing as she followed her nurse to wherever these buses were, winding her hair up into its customary bun as she went. It was an odd feeling, knowing she was about to go outside of the institute's borders. Maybe the Head Doctor was about to make an error and the shinigami, as well as everyone else, would no longer be limited and they could finish what they started several nights back.

That was probably too much to hope for. She was feeling better this morning, even with the blood moon, and was mildly looking forward to the bus ride. Captain Jack said he was going to be here this morning and even if it wasn't customary breakfast in the cafeteria, she's be satisfied with him sitting next to her on the bus.


The nurse handed her a muffin, some napkins, and a small box with a straw. She stared at this box for a moment before shaking it. From the sound it contained liquid. How odd... Momo wasn't sure why they would but liquid inside a small paper box - it didn't make any sense to her and she wasn't sure how one was supposed to get it out of the box.

Clambering onto an empty bus, Momo chose to sit in the very back near the emergency exit. Maybe she could force her way out of it as they were moving and escape the limiter enough to come back and level the institute, freeing everyone. Or maybe she just wanted to be able to see everyone that was on the same bus as her. Wishful thinking versus reality.

Peering out the window, he could see they were definitely making some progress. There wasn't anything much to see aside from trees but after being stuck so long indoors, where the only thing you had to see was white and more white, trees and lots of them was almost a refreshing novelty. The forested mountain they were winding down in the buses had that quality that you only saw on calenders. Leaning back, Brock glanced aside at Nadie:

"Looks like we're starting the field trip," he said. "Last I heard, they're taking us to some town called Doyleton."

There didn't seem to be much of a point of getting too excited to Brock - it was just another carrot dangled before the patients and while it looks like it was a prime opportunity to make a break for it, he seriously doubted anyone would be successful if this weird "dampening" thing followed them from Landels to this mountain town.

"Doyleton?" Though she traveled often and had visited many places, Nadie was unfamiliar with that name. Through the window, she looked at the trees as they passed by. So the Institute was located in the woods, eh?

It was a start, at least. Now all she needed to know was…

“What country are we in?”
