Nightshift 33: West Wing, North Hall 1-B

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

[Coming from here.]

Tyler turned into the wider corridor, pausing to take a quick glance at his map, making sure he could get to where he needed to go from where he was. Seeing there was a door at the end of this hall, he turned left, figuring that was the quickest route to outside and where he was to meet Reid.

After Scar stepped into the next hallway, he immediately turned right. It appeared he was fairly early due to the lack of patients in this hall, but he supposed the earlier it was, the more he'd get done.

At least he wasn't having to run around to the other cell blocks, though Leon still wished they'd put a hall in between them to make things easier. Honestly. Hopefully he'd get there soon enough that he wouldn't keep Kadaj waiting.

"Thanks," he tossed over his shoulder, trying to hide his amusement at Brook's plight. Archer moved swiftly down the corridor, his light leading the way. "Our destination is this way."

[promisedawhale.livejournal.com]

"Don't you feel even the slightest bit of remourse?!" Brook shrieked, having to move faster than a sulk to follow after. Archer was being just as mean as Sanji after he'd kicked him, or Franky after he'd clobbered him senseless!

It would actually be quicker to reach his destination if he went outside and around, but Matt didn't feel like taking his chances outside in the dark. Not when there would most likely be extra precautions set up to keep them from trying to escape. No, he'd have to go down and around, as much extra running as that meant.

Well, look at that. He came here all the way from M37 without getting injured. Not like it was an actual accomplishment, but whatever. He was just glad he hadn't run into any monsters yet--he wasn't sure how he would fight with a broken right arm.

Almost to the chosen destination, where he could enjoy the pleasures of taking apart plumbing. How wonderful. Then again, his original idea of attempting the field was obviously not an option now. So, weaponry, and then upstairs..? Hopefully to obtain slightly less distasteful weapons, and possibly find Daniel another flashlight or two. Someone had posted on the board that one of the storage rooms kept spares, or Vlad thought he recalled that. He didn't remember the room itself, but fortunately Daniel would probably be just surprised there were storage rooms, maps or no.

There - the door to the recreational field loomed ahead. Thursday headed straight toward it, then took up a position beside the door so she wouldn't impede the progress of anyone else. Archer, she knew, would be late, but hopefully Hokuto would turn up soon.

There was someone waiting... it would help if Hokuto had any idea who her commander was, but she could hope. "Good evening!" she said, bowing a little. The age difference alone said she should go lower than usual, so it didn't matter if she was wrong about facing an Arts & Crafts leader. "I'm Sumeragi Hokuto. Thursday Next-dono?"

Nothing to see here. Elle swung the beam of her flashlight around but it was just boring old walls and another person or two. They all seemed to have places to be. What did people spend their night times doing? If it was really that impossible to escape, why were they bothering?

Elle was pretty sure that the key was to get to Dr. Landel. But no office for him was listed on any of the maps she'd copied. That made sense. He wouldn't want angry patients knowing where to find him.

There was a door at the end of the hallway, and Elle headed towards it.

The main corridor wasn't difficult to find and he took a moment to orientate himself, making sure that he was heading the right way before setting off. It was easier than backtracking.

Harry glanced around as he entered the next hallway, hoping he might see Peter. The sooner he spoke to him about Brock the better. Even just seeing him right now would be reassuring. His own brooding thoughts in combination with the unsettling atmosphere of the institute at night, were managing to set him even further on edge.

Moody and distracted, he continued along the corridor, hurrying to his meeting with Peter.

Mason was just about able to tell where he was going by the light from other people's torches. He headed for the door, hoping to get outside and maybe have some moonlight.

He nearly ran into the wall a few times, but eventually he managed to find a door.

Melissa's path became more jagged as the hallway stretched on. She was purposely trying to avoid the small beams of light cascading on the floor by skirting around them wherever she could. Other people, she supposed, needed the light, but Melissa couldn't understand why they had to shove that light into other peoples' faces as they hurried past. She was very obviously not a monster, so what was the point of that? Besides making her eyes burn.

Melissa could feel the outdoors just ahead, minds and thoughts spreading out in the open, and she moved just a little bit quicker involuntarily.

[gray-gambit.livejournal.com]

Lia kept her own path steady along the right-hand wall rather than making a jagged progression. She noticed the passage of the other patients anyway, and wondered if it were meaningful that none of them were congregating here, unlike in the previous hallway. After brief contemplation she decided it didn't; they were likely all just in a hurry to get on with the plans they'd made for this brief span of almost-freedom.

She noticed Melissa pick up her pace as they neared the doors at the end of the hallway, and sped her own to match. Though there would be worse places to get separated, it would only slow them down, and they had little enough time as it was.

"Stick to the courtyard walls?" she suggested as she came up next to Melissa. She hadn't seen the courtyard yet herself, but disliked the idea of racing across a wide open space. It would be too exposed, too easy to get caught by someone or something. She wondered again if any Winds ran nearby, hidden from her deadened senses.

Once he was past the threshold, Reid stopped moving entirely. He even left the door open, only bothering to move to the side to let others out.

Watching what the giant toy solider would do next, he spoke to Tyler. "Hey, I can do what I want, okay?" His eyes were still black, after all. He hadn't let go of his Power just yet, and didn't want to.

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

Tyler skidded into the hall behind him, shooting a worried glance over his shoulder to make sure they couldn't be followed. Dammit, out of all the places that could be guarded tonight...

At Reid's words, he turned to face the blond. It was impossible to miss the odd glint of the other's eyes, even in the dim glow of the flashlight beam. Then again, he couldn't really blame Reid, either.

"I know you can," he answered patiently, peeking back out the door once more, wondering if the way would clear or if they'd need to try another exit. "But if we want to get over the fall, we don't want to get stuck in a pointless fight first, right?"

Zuko ran the length of both hallways without pausing. Once he reached the door to the to the M-C Block he clicked his flashlight back on and opened the doors. If his partners weren't there he'd take a look in the bathroom.

Albel quickly slipped inside, not bothering with any of the other patients present. The door he was looking for wasn't difficult to find, and he wasted no time opening it and stepping into the patient block.

There didn't seem to be much action going on in this hall either. That was fine for Sync, really. As long as no one bothered to get in his way then he couldn't really give a damn about what they were up to. He strolled along passively, dragging his fingertips over the wall as he reached the next set of doors that led to the next area.

Another identical hallway... if he remembered the maps he'd seen, you could get outside at the end of it.

But that wasn't where he was going, tonight.

Zelnick turned and went into the patient block, frowning as his flashlight flickered a bit. Low on power...? Were the batteries in it so weak?

Danny quickly rounded the corner to pass through the next hallway, lifting the pipe to sling it over his shoulder. He didn't bother to check if Vlad was still with him--after all, they'd been walking a total of a few seconds so far, right?

With his flashlight in one hand and Statesman's knife in the other, Peter headed down the hallway, only sparing a brief glance at the few other patients who were around. He didn't recognize any of them, but that was no surprise considering how few of the patients he spoke to on a regular basis.

He didn't disagree with Statesman's idea to make a bulletin post the following day, but he had to hope that the man wouldn't throw his name around. Eddie obviously watched that board like a hawk, so it was best if he was on it as little as possible. Usually he could just remain anonymous and it wasn't a problem, but there were times when there was no way he couldn't be obvious about his identity.

The whole situation had him mildly frustrated, but he was trying to put a lid on it for the sake of professionalism. With a sigh, Peter opened the door at the end of the hall and stepped through.

It was very dark indoors with no flashlight, but Elle knew approximately where she'd come from and where she was going, so it wasn't too difficult to simply follow the wall down to the other end of the corridor.

Gluttony led them down the hallway, into the main hallway, and turned his attention north towards the door to the rec field. The captain was smart! They were sure to find Lust soon!

Fwiffo eyed Zelnick was newfound wariness as he approached and took control of the wheeled chair. "Captain...?" he asked, whispering. Surely this couldn't be happening! Maybe it was some kind of trick?

[manhattan-red.livejournal.com]

The woman's block was right next to his own. This could be convenient except that it was rarely women he was meeting with at night. (Wasn't that the way it always went...?) At least it was suiting his purposes now.

While hurrying through the patient blocks towards the agreed-upon meeting place, Xelloss was still feeling uncertain about his previous meeting with Hellmaster. There was nothing he could specifically say was wrong, aside from the fact that Hellmaster hadn't demanded he kill twenty more of the patients or anything like that, and that could easily be credited to Phibrizzo realizing the unrealistic nature of those requests. The most graceful way for either of them to deal with it was, of course, to pretend the request hadn't been made in the first place. It had been Xelloss's plan, and Hellmaster slowly coming up to speed on the issue wasn't odd.

But... something was odd. He'd lingered too long, anyhow, in a meeting that had offered him nothing more than the chance to reconfirm for himself Phibrizzo's continued presence. It was good that the Hellmaster was still here, so long as Xelloss was too. As a potential threat or a way to manipulate the princess, and through her, Zelgadis...

The radio's words were confusing, slightly disturbing, and completely useless. The babblings of a mad person, it sounded. Perhaps driven out by the rebel group for insanity? It was a possibility....

"We should prepare ourselves for a fight outside," she mentioned, once the radio had clicked off.

[358days.livejournal.com]

Although he didn't know it, Roxas's estimation of the most recent transmission ran somewhere along the same lines as Lust's. Whoever it had been had to be crazy-- unless it only sounded like that because of all the static? He couldn't really think of a way someone could use the phrase "blood tasted like anger" and sound sane, though, so he eventually abandoned that theory.

Tightening his grip on his flashlight, he nodded and said, "Got it." Not much else needed to be said, really.
