Nightshift 32: M61 - M70 Hallway
In all honesty, Tyki hadn't exactly expected what had happened during dinner. Though it was definitely strange to have woken up in his white side this morning, he hadn't given it too much thought beyond his initial surprise. It had probably something to do with his white side being a laid-back bum, but it simply hadn't come to mind just yet.
It happened after he had finished his dinner, when he was searching his room for something useful while the sun was about to set. The Noah within him had been dormant all day, as it usually was when he was in his human side. But something had changed all of a sudden, which was enough to make Tyki pause as he searched the closet. He knew what was going on, all too familiar with shifting from white to black, but there was only one little problem; he wasn't willing it himself. He could always shift through his white and black side whenever he liked, but now he had no control over it. At all. He couldn't stop it when white turned black, when his skin turned a darker color. It was beyond his own control...
And that didn't sit quite well with the Noah. If there was one thing he had to be careful about, it was losing control. Not being able to turn back. He didn't want to lose them, but...having both was fun.
But he quickly reassured himself. Hadn't he woken up here in his white side? Though he couldn't switch back now, there was reason enough to believe that it wasn't lost. It was too much of a coincidence, to shift to his black right after the sun had set. He didn't knew how, or why, but what if it was related to day and night?
At the very least, having his black side would make his stay a bit more interesting.
He removed his glasses, leaving them on his desk. There was no need for these now. Too lazy to do anything about his hair, he grabbed his flashlight and moved into the dark hallway. He had seen the area on his way to his room, and logic told him the row of doors held more rooms. Not really interested, he moved along.
On to some cigarettes first. He needed a smoke, already!

"Fine, fine, fiiiine," the emperor moaned, hoisting the makeshift shirt-bag off of his shoulder and handing it over toward the noble. "Anyway, there are some extra goodies in there. See if that Claude fellow knows what 'camphor' and 'ammo-neea' are. I really liked the 'camphor', too, but I've not a clue what it does, so get on that."
Peony sighed, crossing his arms and looking to the side. "You wouldn't happen know what Jade's doing right now, would you? Or Luke? Not the cute ones, mind you - they're probably starving at the moment because Sesemann doesn't know how to entertain them properly."

As for Peony's question, Guy sighed at the realization that he couldn't help him out. It was still strange that he had to go through most of his time here not knowing what his friends were up to, and he wondered what had ever happened to that system where they met up briefly each night to make sure everyone was still accounted for.
"Sorry, can't help you there. We should try to get a better system together to keep track of each other." Jade was probably the best suited for that job, though. "Do you not have anyone to travel with tonight? You could probably come with me..." He wasn't entirely sure that Claude would be all right with it, especially considering how Peony had behaved around him thus far, but Guy wasn't comfortable leaving the emperor on his own, either.

He'd also gotten to the second floor with his roommate, but Siggy was a little more boring.
"Yeah, yeah, we should find a system. But let's do that another time, okay?" He waved Guy off as if he were some sort of fly. He really was affectionate toward the other blond, but he was holding Guy up at this point. Holding him up from finding ways to get Peony out of here and back home with his rappigs.
"Have a good one," Peony said, resting against the wall outside the door. He'd figure out something to do.. or some way to go about finding that Haseo kid.

He had left him to his own devices in the past and Peony had managed well enough, so maybe he wasn't giving the emperor enough credit. There was always the option to run from monsters, after all, so maybe that was Peony's strategy.
"See you around," he said with a quick wave that could have passed as a casual salute as he turned and headed down the hall with the bag of flasks securely hanging from his shoulder. At least it was a short trip to Claude's room.

And a man - or a woman, what? - had entered a few minutes into the fight, having left room M63. Was that Guy's roommate? Peony found a new surge of interest. He almost wanted to pull the fighter aside. So graceful, yeah! Just like a rappig or something~
He'd have to talk to the guy - girl? - sometime. Yes, that was on his to-do list of things to do! Not that he kept one, but if he did, that would be on it. Along with 'find rappigs' and 'harass Jade a bit.'
Time found Peony growing bored, though, and he eventually decided he needed to leave. So he walked down the hallway, flashlight safely off. It was probably a good thing the scorpion looked half-dead at this point.
