Nightshift 30: M11-M20 Hallway
[Specifically M12]
"… Wait, really?" Axel asked, mainly to himself, as he listened to the intercom and the head doctor’s sudden confession. It hadn’t been long since he was escorted back to his room after his dinner, feeling rather content after spending a shift to himself. It was fun and all to chill with a couple of people beforehand, but a guy needed a break every once in a while.
His plans were relatively simple at the time. He was going to run off to Kairi’s room, swing her body over his shoulders and haul her back over to his own. He’d forgotten to write a note down for Roy in the bulletin saying he couldn’t make it, but he was sure the colonel could make the right assumptions.
He had been in the middle of rummaging under his mattress for his chakram when the intercom came to life again, and with that he couldn’t help but stop and look up at the ceiling with a mix of curiosity and disbelief. At this point it almost felt like a tradition for the man behind the radio to pop up every evening, so a change this big earned a bit of attention. Axel’s gaze remained on the ceiling for at least half a minute before he glanced over at his roommate on the other side.
"You know, I almost don’t believe it." But this was technically a battlefield, and one side had to give in one way or another. He had to remind himself that tradition didn’t exactly last forever.

"What? Should I have left River alone with those orderlies?" He grumbled under his breath, his frustration directed more towards the Institute itself than towards the woman at his side. However, Lust's previous comment did stir something else on his mind, something that had been forgotten amidst all his worrying about River and Dias.
"Speaking of biting..." he said, turning towards Lust with narrowed eyes. "Your old homunculus friend tried to attack me in the showers. Did you know he was here?"

"Yes," she said, nodding. "I'm sorry. He...doesn't like you very much. You can't blame him, Scar. He has a child's mind and he's very protective of me. I'll speak with him and remind him once more who's friend and who's foe."

"I hope he can remember that." Scar growled, glaring at her. "He may have a child's mind, but he has a bear's strength. And appetite."
He looked away towards the open end of the hallway and began to walk towards the exit.
"At any rate, we should try to get somewhere before we're whisked back to our rooms. You have any ideas beyond the main hallways?"

She followed after him with a small shrug. "I've exhausted what the second floor has to offer easily," she told him, recalling her plundering exploits at the colonel's request. "What did you wish to accomplish?"
