Nightshift 30: M51-M60 Hallway
It was unexpected to Sai, actually being led back to his room before the night came. He'd been sitting, planning for the event of darkness overtaking the institute and them becoming surrounded by monstrous orderlies. Even Haku had been on his toes. While it was for the best that they'd been returned to their quarters first, the ninja couldn't help but muse on how he was apparently a poor judge of what actions the staff here would take next.
Being in his room meant he was able to arm himself and change before nightfall. A glance over the black outfit revealed that any damage it had sustained the previous night had been repaired without leaving a mark. Curious. He took the opportunity then to claim the two trowels under Kurikara's mattress and wrap the bit of extension cord around his waist. The wire brushes he left for now. He still needed proper ink.
To Usopp's, then. Other plans would be made after he arrived.

M55
Sano didn't have to walk too far, and he knocked on Kenshin's door before walking in. Didn't look like Zuko was there yet, but that wasn't too surprising, especially if the kid had to come from the same place they did the night before.
"Hey Kenshin. Not too late, am I?" It hadn't been all that long since he'd seen Kenshin, but Sanosuke was still worried. Just what would they get into that might make the Battousai come out? Really, the fighter didn't want to see it, but he knew he had to be prepared in case it happened.
Man, that was something he didn't want to face.
Re: M55
Just last night, they had risked so much to take Adel to see him, and now he was gone.
To stab someone six times in the chest was even worse than the politically-motivated assassinations that Kenshin himself had committed in his youth. Any death was, of course, totally reprehensible, but to kill someone like that...well, it was cold-blooded murder.
Kenshin didn't have much more time to dwell on this turn of events, because within minutes, Sano was knocking at his door. The rurouni opened it, smiling.
"Not at all," he said. "Are we waiting for Zuko, or shall we leave now?"
Re: M55
Anything to stay normal and sane.
"Well, depends I guess." Sano let Kenshin go after a minute, then reached up to scratch the back of his head. "Is Okita's room far away? I kind of mentioned that Shaggy should meet us here, but if he's got to come from where we did last night, maybe it'd be quicker to see Okita first."

Re: M55
"Don't see him." The fighter leaned back against the doorway, then grinned to his friend. "Just make sure he can read the note. Your writing is terrible, Kenshin."
Re: M55
Zuko turned down the hallway and spotted Sanosuke in a doorway. The prince had mixed feelings about him, Zuko still wasn't too happy that the other man had given him a stupid nickname along with dragging him halfway across the building. But the firebender was willing to forget all that as long as he got a weapon out of it.
"Are we ready?" he asked once he was in front of the doorway.
Re: M55
"Hello there! Yes, we're ready." He grabbed the sheath he'd had made the night before and closed the door behind him.
"Shall we be off?"
