Nightshift 29: East Wing, South Hall 1-A

It was lucky for both him and Usopp that their rooms were just a block down. Not that he'd seen many monsters or otherwise around the patient blocks themselves, but the further apart they were the more likely there would be something that could stop them on the way. Here they had simply a short run between them. Granted, it would have been even better if they'd been in the same block or even the same hallway, but given the overall situation they could have been far worse off.

He took one more glance around, saw nothing and no one, and continued on his way.

Ren was right. Even in these often well-populated hallways, some things lurked and hunted for prey.

The sound of small insect-like legs scuttling along the hard floor of the institute gave warning of the approaching creature before its pale white carapace glinted off their flashlights. Two large pincers opened and closed menacingly as it's tail curled up over its body, prepared to strike its deadly toxins deep into its prey. From down the hallway it slowly but steadily approached them.

Kagura bit her lip for a moment. It was one thing to hear the strange reports from an individual, but if Ichimoku was warning her about the same things, then she'd probably better be careful. "Mm, Javert-san explained some things, but it was kind of hard to understand. Before I met him, the nurse stuck me with a needle and... everything got kind of fuzzy," she admitted.

He was kind enough to hold the door open, and Kagura opened her mouth to thank Ichimoku once again when her eyes caught sight of the giant buggy creature clicking toward them. Without waiting for her traveling companion, she let out a scream and bolted through the door.

"Sedation?" Poor kid, must have put up a fight when she'd first woken up. That wasn't surprising at all--he couldn't blame her. And sedatives made things more frightening when a person didn't even know where they were. "But that's good to hear, I'm also acquainted with a man named Javert."

There wasn't exactly an opportunity to say any more when the clicking of legs against the floor became audible. By the time he'd swung his flashlight around to see, the girl had shrieked and taken off through the doors. Ren eyed the scorpion for a minute, a slight grimace on his face. Couldn't blame her for that either. Damn.

Slipping inside, he closed the door behind him. Scorpions were pretty quick, but one that size would be easy to avoid. Didn't make its poison any less of a worry.
