Day 31: Sun Room (Fourth Shift)

[screwthegods]

Though perhaps not entirely as successful as he wanted it to be, Homura walked away from lunch feeling satisfied with his efforts. Roland and Fai both had shown interest in the goal, and that was enough for the moment. Homura could be patient, had already been for five hundred years, and felt no harm in waiting another five hundred if he had to. He would have his goals realized, no matter what obstacles he faced, be they from the prison or those trapped within.

But now was time for business of a different sort, and the demi-god made his way to the Sun Room, near the common board. He made sure he could be seen from the entrance to the cafeteria, knowing that one stranger and one member of his own group both wanted to meet with him. It worked out well enough, especially given that the stated purpose of the History Club was simple.

Revenge and escape.

For now, Homura had no intention of revealing that it'd grown more complicated than that.

Falis was both comforting and frightening the girl as she felt it important that Kagura understood what could very well happen. No good came from sugar-coating these kind of things. Maybe if the girl had a better sense if what being bitten may mean, she'd be more willing on offering information.

That is, if she had any information. The few details Kagura could give the bounty hunter were not particularly helpful, especially since Falis herself was taller than Kagura. There were a lot of people taller than Kagura.

"Where exactly were you when you were attacked? I need a place to start looking."

Alita sure was asking a lot of questions. And the answers to her own were way too scary. Kagura definitely didn't want to be a vampire, but what if it wasn't that at all? What if it was only some... freak pretending? They were in an asylum, weren't they?

"It was right outside the room, in the first big hall. I'd just... barely stepped out and something hit me from behind and dragged me away," she said with some regret. While hitting from behind was a cowardly tactic, she should have sensed them coming at the very least. They had to be pretty good if she hadn't seen them at all.

... which room?

Falis brow twitched as she tried to puzzle out what the hell Kagura was describing without just grabbing the girl's collar and shaking her while demanding she be more specific. The 'first big hall' was probably that hallway that went in between the patient blocks... but there weren't any rooms that lead out onto that from what the princess had seen. maybe she meant one of the halls at the end of the patient corridors that opened into the hall.

"O...kay... were you leaving the girls' area or the boys' area?"

Kagura looked puzzled for a moment. Why would she have been leaving the boy's area? "The... girl's rooms. Leon-san and Javert-san and their friend Trebe... Treve-rian-san came to pick me up. There was... some commotion while we were going toward the stairs... that's about when it happened."

And that was that. Falis had some information to go on and now she had a place to start tracking the vampire from. The bounty hunter made note of the names of the men Kagura had been with at the time; she'd question them later to see if they were the vampire's thralls and had set poor Kagura up. If so, she'd kill them. That would smoke the vampire out at least; they didn't like it when people killed off their thralls.

Falis patted Kagura on the shoulder and grinned at her. 'Thanks. Now I can get to work on this tonight. Remember, you start feeling weird or anything, especially when night falls, you come to me right away. My room is F22," she said.

The blonde nodded. 'I'll get it. I will." She raised an eyebrow then. "Oh, and I won;t ask you what your curse is, cause you're not gonna tell me, but I do have some skill at breaking them. Keep that in mind."

The nurses were coming, so the princess stepped back and gave Kagura a confident smirk. "Later."
