Nightshift 30: M-A Block Hallway

[norainu]

[from here]
Renji paused just long enough to open the door into the first M-block, then ran in, leaving it open behind him. He headed toward the last hallway.

He did switch his flashlight on now, though.

...just in case there was another spider. And no Daemon. In which case he would do more than punch the shit out of the man when he got to him.

Homura couldn't move nearly as fast as he liked, so caution was the only alternative. He shined his flashlight along the hall, studying wall, ceiling, and floor before continuing on. He couldn't afford a battle like the one he'd faced the night before, simply in no shape to win it.

Not that his condition would stop him from fighting, of course. But better that he not be in any worse shape when he met Heiji or MOMO.

Nearly there, but Homura didn't slow. He'd seen Okita's group gathering at the door, which meant the time of their battle would soon be there. That made it all the more important to hurry now, and finish things.

Recluse moved as quickly as he could without sacrificing stealth in the process. It usually took a while for hostile creatures to start attacking the prisoners, but it never hurt to be cautious.

Hiei didn't use the flashlight just yet, instead relying on his instinct and his speed to alert him to any danger. In a way he hoped something would be foolish enough to come at him; the demon was eager to take out his anger in the most bloody way possible.

Kurikara better not have made any other plans to teach that night.

Itachi reached the cross-hallway he had become familiar with over the day. Previously he had only been led through the door at the end, to the left. He knew where that door led, but he did not know if that path would enable him to exit the building.

Itachi stood, hesitating. There was another door across from him, marked as the bathrooms. There could be another door at the end of the hallway, or down one of the smaller hallways that branched off this one. In the dark and with his weak eyes, he was unable to see far enough to tell. Yet he did not want to waste time searching each hallway. Would it simply be better to take the first door? This lack of information was intolerable.

Until now, Itachi had seen no need to work with anyone else, but it might be better to team up with someone who knew their way around the building. It was regrettable -- another person could hinder him, or even take advantage of his lack of experience with this place -- but with his eyes as they were, he had little hope of finding his way around a completely unknown building. Itachi looked around to see if anyone else was near, attempting to think of a way to enlist their partnership.

Thursday was in a bit of a hurry, but that didn't prevent her from noticing the young man standing in the middle of the hallway. He looked...new, for lack of a better word.

Deciding she could take a few seconds to help him out, she walked up to him, careful to direct the beam of her torch away from his face.

"Sorry - I couldn't help but notice that you looked a bit lost. Do you need directions to someplace?"

Edgeworth switched his flashlight on as he went into the first M-block, then down the hall leading to M19.

[udo-retrovirus.livejournal.com]

As Junior moved into the block hallway, he turned on his flashlight, glancing around.

M13, wasn't it? That would make it...that way, he thought, pointing his flashlight in the direction opposite the door before heading that way himself. The redhead looked down the first hall that he came to, glanced at the nearest number, then continued on, turning down the second.

This hallway was mostly deserted. Javert paid those who were here little mind; it was probably best to reach Kagura's room before too much of the night had passed.

As Alec roamed the hallways in search of more giant bugs to smash, he happened upon Javert. He didn't notice at first, because his brain had simply blocked the Frenchman out of his mind due to the situationally improbable clothes he was wearing. Then again, he realized as he did a double-take, he couldn't have been the only person who got his own clothes back, could he?

"Hello, Inspector," he said, turning the gilded key over in his hand thoughtfully. His brain raced for a smart remark before finally settling on "Nice outfit. Is there any point to wearing a waistcoat and cravat in here? It's not as if the monsters will care if you're looking nice."

He'd blame the quality of that remark on the drugs. Yeah.

The door was open; Hijikata wondered who had gone this way before him as he stepped through, looking up and down the hallway. No sign of a familiar face, though a few other human forms moved in the gloom.

He hurried through, moving towards the main hallway -- the door there stood open, a blacker shape in the darkness.

Ugh, Alucard. A shame he'd had nothing to do with his disappearance. "No. But it's not shocking that I'm still around and he's not."

Strolling in behind Sasuke, he shut the door behind him, for once not having any ulterior motive in the action. He couldn't see, smell, or sense any threat, and his behavior was quite casual to show it. Though he approved of Sasuke's caution, when you were travelling with a vampire in the pitch black, chances were they'd sense something coming long before anyone else did. Perks.

"I don't think he's the only one around, though." Not that he was going to go into specifics. When he dumped personal emotions on someone else, it was supposed to be Akatsuki.

[sasuke-of-sound.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that meant yet another patient Sasuke had met fairly early on had disappeared. Just what was the 'survival rate' around here?

It sounded like a number of people were passing through this hall as well, so Sasuke focused carefully on Aidou's footsteps. The vampire was moving confidently enough, which meant that there probably wasn't much threat for now. Still, Sasuke kept his grip on the sword the same.

"So there are more vampires than you and Kyon in the Institute?" Sasuke asked. Might as well talk while they were still in the relatively safe zone. "Are they these ex-humans you speak of, or are they like you?"

Even now the hallways were pretty damn busy from the get go, but Axel didn’t pay much mind to the other patients as they ran to where they needed to go. He chose to keep himself a good distance away, just incase someone tried to mistake him from one of those brainwashed people he kept hearing about. But other than that he kept his destination visible in his head as he mentally traced the steps to Kairi’s room.

Zuko quickly found that running down the hallway was tiring him out much faster than it normally should. The prince paused to catch his breath and decided to attribute it to his inactivity all day and maybe the drugs, but it was still disconcerting to still be dealing with the effects. At least he'd be getting a workout tonight...

As Sora moved out into the adjoining hallway, he wasn't surprised to see that there were only two men sharing it with him. There was no reason to stick around when the only use the hallway really had was for passing through.

He was just glad that monsters never really invaded the patient blocks anymore. There was nothing more frustrating than getting interrupted before you had even started. He got the feeling that he was going to have to wait a while for his two group members (and he was curious to meet Leon, who he only knew of through mentions on the bulletin), but he didn't mind too much.

He glanced back over his shoulder to make sure ZEX was still stalking following him.

Shana left Valyn's room and made her way down to the hall that connected the first block of male patient rooms. She didn't look back to see if the others had followed her, muttering softly under her breath.

Men were so irritating, she decided, reaching up with agitated movements to undo the ornate braid the nurse had fashioned her hair into earlier after her shower. Her crimson locks fell about her face in riotous curls, having dried in the braid, and she irritably gathered it into a quick ponytail atop her head and secured it with the band that had held her braid in place.

There, that would be practical enough for nightshift, even if it wasn't pretty.

Huffing, she shined her light up and down the corridor as she mentally calculated where she was so she didn't get lost. To get to the kitchens, they'd have to pass through the sunroom, which might be tricky, but maybe if they made a run for it...

[notmyfather.livejournal.com]

"Shana!"

Hadn't she heard Shadow's instructions that one of them with a weapon needed to take the lead? Ripping his coat off and tossing it on the bed he quickly followed. He struck out after her, grabbing her wrist once he'd caught up and grabbed her wrist with his free hand, not hesitating to pull her back behind him.

"You aren't armed! What are you thinking storming out like this?" He was only angry because he worried.

Keeping his mind off things when he was moving by himself was proving difficult. Ritsuka paused at the end of his hallway and took a deep breath. If he panicked in front of Alfons, he'd really have a problem on his hands. It'd be even worse if Soubi snuck up and found him like this.

Stepping into the next hallway, he broke into a run and kept going.

"You know, I'm beginning to think your reasons for wanting to accompany me weren't nearly as altruistic as you made it seem," Kadaj said over his shoulder. His tone was light enough that it was clear he was joking, but it was still at Hughes's expense. "Relying on others for protection, are we? That's so noble of you, really. Does Roy know?"

[felled-hero.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I can still watch your back from here," Hughes joked back. He liked this kid. "I'm just being practical. Of course, if you want the guy who can't do jack when he's fighting short range, I'd be happy to go in front...."

He could take some teasing. Like he hadn't gotten it in spades at the Academy or the barracks.

Yuber didn’t slow his pace nor did he glance back to see if the others were following either. Making his way down the hallway, Yuber’s attention flickered over to the final hallway within this block, before he turned and entered it.

They moved deeper down the hall, keeping a steady pace up. It wasn't quite a jog, but it was faster than walking, and he could manage that with his injuries now healed.

He wondered where the Spider was. Probably out doing his hero thing. The fact that he could still think of wasting his time like that, here and now of all places, just baffled Brock. Why? The people he helped wouldn't be thankful very long. And it wasn't like he couldn't be using his energy and effort for something worthwhile, like trying to spring his own sorry ass out of this dump. Where Parker would go? Brock would be following, nipping right at his heels.

Parker could forget about the others, but he couldn't - wouldn't - forget about them.

He is ours. He made us what we are and he is ours.

Damn, it felt good to be back with his Other. That little "voice" in his head, telling him how things were with those impressions, those feelings and images that definitely weren't anything he'd seen in his life time.

Although he'd forgotten many of the details he'd hoped to remember from the bulletin board, Mello had remembered to look over his map before leaving. He'd shoved it into his pocket for good measure, but he wasn't going to look at a map in public. He already looked new enough.

He pushed open the door at the end of the hallway and kept moving.
