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.

The sword flashed in front of Sai's face by mere inches and the ninja didn't even blink. He checked the two pieces to see how the cut was, then dumped the half in his left hand onto the bed before passing over the right one. It was still rolled into a nice bundle and should be relatively easy for the other ninja to handle. "Here," he waited for Sasuke to take it.

Though Usopp had offered use of the other items they'd collected, Sai could think of none others for the moment that he would need. He would keep the sentiment in mind for later, but he didn't think this would change.

Once the cord was out of his hand, he let himself fall back to sitting like he'd been before. He glanced back at the pirate with a small smile. "Usopp, I may want to take a short nap, if that's all right."

Sasuke found the cord easily enough, slinging it over his right shoulder. He wasn't sure what else he could use -- or even of precisely what else had been taken -- but at least he had maintained equal footing tonight, instead of incurring yet another debt.

Although he hadn't managed to quite hold his own, given that he was the best-armed of the group. Sai and Usopp had both gotten injured, and even if Usopp had technically been the leader of the expedition, Sasuke had more combat experience than Usopp seemed to, and that made him partially responsible.

He finally wiped the lingering sense of having failed a team (however temporary) and nodded briefly to the room at large, encompassing both occupants, before heading back to the door.

"I hope to work with you both in the future," he said, a bit awkward with the formality, and stepped back out into the hall.

"You too, see you later!" Then Usopp had the urge to smack himself in the head, but... he couldn't think of another way to put it, and Sasuke surely understood he didn't mean anything rude by it, and besides, the ninja was already in the hallway...

So it was back to organization, glancing back at Sai. "Are you really okay, Sai? I could go to the clinic room if you need help... but you're welcome to my bed, too." What could people in the clinic room do?

And... would anything in the box Yuber had brought be useful? If he just knew something about medicine... he really should give up and turn it over to the clinic people. Even if it was just for good will, it was something, as opposed to being useless in Usopp's hands.

But what if Chopper shows up? he reminded himself.

"You don't need to go to the clinic," Sai shook his head slowly to avoid making the room twist about again. "I'll be fine until morning. Just allow me to lie down here for a short while. If you need me for anything I'll be willing to help you.

Then he began shifting himself around, pulling both legs up onto the bed so that he was sitting on it lengthwise. He'd need to check his injuries first. It wouldn't do to lay wrong and hurt something more.

So first, pulling off one glove and then the other, he went about removing his oddly asymmetrical top. There were bruises visible on his stomach already, along with a few long smudges of black spider blood, but the damage underneath the shirt was worse. Sai laid a hand over his ribcage. It was possible that one of the ribs was fractured, but that was getting off pretty light. It wasn't anything the natural healing of Landel's wouldn't fix within too long.
