Nightshift 30: F1-F10 Hallway.

“What?” Kairi had been in the middle of getting off of the bed when she heard the announcement the head doctor made, surprise overtaking her face. Hadn’t the man on the radio been well known? Hadn’t he helped all kinds of people?

Her look of shock slowly turned into a sad frown as she moved across the room, not saying a word other than the “what?” she had muttered before. This place was so horrible –

Moving to her dresser, Kairi pulled open the doors in hope of perhaps finding another flashlight. What she found instead was something much better (in her opinion, anyway) and much more useful!

“Oh!” she exclaimed happily as she pulled the pink dress out of the wardrobe, a grin crossing her lips. It had been such a long time since she had seen the pink dress she usually wore, and to see it now just randomly sitting inside the large wardrobe was a pleasant surprise! Before she could really even think, she slowly began to change into the outfit, pausing once she was done to look down.

She looked like herself again! (Minus the bandages, anyway)

Pumping her fists, Kairi did a quick hair flip and let out a happy giggle.

Now all there was to do was wait for Axel.

After a few moments of waiting, Kairi decided that perhaps it would be better to wait in the hall. After all, nothing would happen ... and if something suspicious came, she'd just run back into the room.

The result wasn't too surprising, considering Amelia hadn't been able to get so much as a spark from the Fireball she attempted earlier that day. Still, she gave Zelgadis a sympathetic pat on the arm.

She was happy to take his silence as a "why no, I didn't, do go on" and continued. "It means that should we find one such person and undo whatever foul process caused them to turn against their fellow man, we would have at least one person on our side with fully functional powers!"

Zelgadis looked at Amelia, somewhat surprised at her tenderness. His logic, however, he found faulty.

"Do we know what they did to them? How do we know we can reverse it?"

It seemed like a lot of guesswork on Amelia's part, but he had to admit it was much better thought out than his current strategy-- survive and avoid Xelloss. Zelgadis decided to try a lightning spell as well, since it had worked for Amelia,

"Lightning."

Nothing, again! He took on a terse and sullen look.

Poor Mr. Zelgadis! He couldn't even use a Lighting spell in this place? She had to wonder why one of them could use limited magic while the other could use none at all. But there wasn't much information to go off of at the moment, so maybe they would figure it out later.

To his questions, Amelia simply tapped her chin and replied, "Nope, no idea."

There was a brief pause as she realized that probably didn't make the plausibility of her plan too convincing. "However!" she loudly declared, continuing with one finger raised dramatically, "Those whose hearts have been deceived by the powers of darkness need only have their eyes opened to the light of truth to be saved! Seeing as there is no greater power than that of Light, justice is sure to prevail both in war and in the internal struggles of men!" In Amelia's head, this was a perfectly logical explanation and served as more than enough reason to believe they could succeed.

[ooc: icon luv!]

Zelgadis sighed heavily but knew there was no way to refuse a justice-fueled Amelia.

"Should we move on, then?"

He hoped Amelia's few weak spells and his even weaker physical prowess could keep the monster's at bay.

"Yes, let's!" the princess agreed with an eager and enthusiastic nod. Happily taking the lead as though she just couldn't wait to run into untold danger, Amelia led the way down to the next hall.
