Nightshift 31: F-A Block Hallway

Anya was beginning to feel the adrenaline as she rounded the corner. Those zombie dogs the first night hadn't really counted as a fight. She hadn't been in a real fight since... since Buffy.

Oh dear god, what if this Kimbley guy had superpowers like Buffy, only his were way better than Buffy's? That was entirely possible, Buffy's weren't exactly the last word on awesome superpowers, no matter how much The Slayer liked to think different. Holy crap, she was gonna get slaughtered!

The vengeance demon cut off her nervous thoughts quickly. She'd promised to do this in order to get more good intel from that sin-type woman. Plus, it wasn't like there was much out there that could kill her.

She opened the door and stepped into the next hall.

"I understand the worry," Renji said. "Consderin' we got some prisoners attacking and almost killin' each other at night. And not 'cause Landel got to them either." He sounded grim; he was thinking about what had happened to Kairi, and the whole Rhode problem. "Hopefully me or taichou have a good enough rep, I guess." While he knew they could both rub people the wrong way - and neither of them really cared if they did - they certainly weren't thieves.

He lifted his head, blinking a few times. He wasn't dizzy any more, at least. Slowly, he pulled himself to his feet. The headache sucked, but he could ignore it for now. "So that'll be priority one then, I think," he said. "If there's a sword and a shield, let's figure out what we should be doing with 'em so we can talk it over with the guys that've got the shield."

Max's expression was grim - she hadn't heard about patients turning on each other of their own will yet, but she could see how it could happen. There were a lot of strong personalities crammed tightly together in this place. People that were used to getting their own way, or making their own way. It was a little disheartening to see that even here, however, people couldn't put their differences - or maybe their similarities - aside long enough to work together to break free of this nightmare.

Sighing, she stood once more, still casually clutching her crowbar as she leaned it against one shoulder. "I'm ready whenever you two are," was all she said on the matter, though, patient until he was capable of carrying on.

Thursday nodded. Armand seemed somewhat suspicious of Arts and Crafts for some reason, but she was pretty sure she could talk sense into him. In her opinion, it wouldn't be a problem.

Shifting her weight slightly, she picked up her baseball bat and torch. "I'm all set."

Renji nodded. "Let's go, then," he said, and headed for the door.

This time, he didn't run. He didn't have the energy for it, yet. And he wanted to save what reserves he might have for whatever could be waiting in the cafeteria.
