Nightshift 29: M31-M40 Hallway

[i-slay-giants.livejournal.com]

Another unexciting dinner led into to another shot at busting out of the institution as Nightshift rolled around. Of course, Jack had other plans to attend to first. He had been rather interested in crashing paying a visit to M98 after the bulletin promised "cigarettes, booze, and sandwiches". The "manflesh" he could do without, but even if he wasn't welcome (last time he checked, he wasn't a hot lady, though the way things were going, who knew what tomorrow held?), he'd strong arm his way in and take what he wanted!

Sliding from his room into the hall with his maps and flashlight, the Fable set out to find his way to the party and may score some liquor and smokes.

“Then first, come to terms with the fact that you’re no longer human, you’re never going to be human, and most importantly, that sets you apart from the ones you’ve been spending time with up until now. Understand? You don’t belong together, or with anyone, really--you’ve become a menace to us. So my second point should be obvious: you attack the humans, you’ll be exterminated. Feed only enough to stay alive, and do it so as to remain unidentified. And do it regularly.”

After the initial flood of words died down, Aidou gaze Kyon a lofty sort of up and down look, the kind only a highborn could possibly give.

“And about the people who already know... I know one is that twin you attacked. No doubt there were witnesses, so either you can’t count, or you’re lying. Who all knows?”

Kyon listened to Aidou's demands quietly. He kept his eyes closed as if he were mulling them over in his head. Really, he was just annoyed at how Aidou was speaking to him. He knew he wasn't normal anymore, there was no reason for him to even begin to reiterate that. If nothing else, Aidou was merely repeating the mantra that Doctor had fed him just before throwing him into the halls two nights ago.

"I'm not lying. The twin I attacked knows what I am, but his brother doesn't. He just thinks I'm nuts." Not like Kaoru had given him a chance to explain. "The other who knows was there when it happened. That's all. I've kept to myself otherwise and not let it spill."

He looked at Aidou finally with a serious, unmoving look. "Before I buy into anything your saying, I want to know who the hell you are."

The vampire couldn’t help it: he rolled his eyes. “The only reason they would try to believe otherwise is because they were convinced you were entirely human beforehand, am I right? That was the only thing you had going for you. As for the twin and your other confidante, shut them up. If rumours spread because of your messy exchanges, I’ll also kill you for being a nuisance. It goes without saying that I will not come up in any of your conversations, ever.”
