Nightshift 34: West Wing, South Hall 1-B

A quick look to the left was sent down the hallway in search of any potential threats before Momo headed to the right. So far, so good. Hopefully, she wouldn't run into any complications before she was able to meet back with Signum.

Then, she'd almost feel sad for whatever the knight came across.

Another hallway, which also looked exactly like it had during the day. Rose swung the beam of her flashlight in both directions, trying to figure out which way to go.

Well, there was the way she'd already been, when the nurse brought her to her room, and there was a door she'd never been through before, beyond which could lie unspeakable horrors.

"Easy decision, really," she mumbled to herself, not without humor. Of course she would pick the door she'd never been through.

Even though she was still unsure of its capabilities, having Tokunaga with her made Anise feel a little braver. The scariest times in Landel's were the times that she was alone in the dark, but with her doll at her back, it felt like she wasn't really alone this time.

It was kind of nice.

Last night, she'd turned right.

Tonight, she was going left. According to the still unfinished map she'd been glancing at whenever she got the chance, it was the quickest way to the rec-field.

Keeping her ears open for anything monster-ish, Yuffie continued bouncing along on her way, a definite skip in her step.

There only seemed to be one section put aside for females to rest in, and so he would wait just outside of that hallway for his companion to join him. He wasn’t about to intrude into the female sleeping area – that was more frightening and dangerous than any monster he’d ever battled before. Slowing his pace, the Star Dragon Sword came to a stop just beyond the entrance to the female dormitory door. Leaning up against the wall, the Night Rune folded his arms over his chest as he waited for Kagura to emerge.

She was a little slower than usual, having tried to wait for Bridget, but when it seemed the boy wasn't going to show, she'd grabbed her flashlight and her sharpened staff and walked cautiously out into the hallway.

It wasn't too big a surprise when she saw Star Dragon Sword standing across the hall from her, folding his arms and looking as cross as ever. She looked guiltily at the floor, "Ah, good evening Star Dragon Sword-san."

He took a right at the first opening, glad to be out of the larger space. Who the hell designed this place, anyways? Would it have been that hard to put a doorway on the other end of his block's hall?

The door led to... yet another dark hallway. What a surprise. The hall stretched out in two opposite directions and seemed like a rather large hall. Elincia hesitated. This was it. She really was out of the area the rooms were in. Though she still felt guilty over having broken her promise, she couldn't just turn back already. She had already gone far enough from the room. It would probably be all right to go just a little further...

Quickly making up her mind, she walked in the direction that was already somewhat familiar. The nurse had led her that way to reach the cafeteria. She recalled there being other doors that way.

Harley paused as soon as she passed through the doors, looking back and forth through the dark. She knew where she needed to go, but she also realized there were probably going to be more disgusting bug things wandering around. And judging by the condition of some of the other patients, she wasn't about to dismiss the idea of getting hurt. She needed some kind of weapon.

She was going to have to take a little detour for that. Luckily, she was oh-so-smart and had planned out exactly where she wanted to go to find one. Hopefully it wouldn't take that long to get to...

Moving a bit more cautiously, she turned right and walked all the way down the hallway. If she remembered right, there would be another hallway she could take that would lead her to the Sunny Room, then to the Lunch Room, then to the outside where there was a shack or something. Not exactly the place to find a bat, but there had to be something big and heavy there, right?

After slipping into the next hallway, Scar decided it'd be best to seek someone in the mail hallways. It was a place where many people ventured through, so the odds of running into something where larger.

He could also decide where to go from there. Exploring was still rather high on his list for things to be done around here.

It was a quick and silent pass from the cell block to the hall, and then down even further south to the main hallways.

Should he speed up his pace a little? Leon frowned and did so. Ashton's room was in the same block, so he could get there quickly. He was probably already there! Leon was going to look late!

This hallway was surprisingly empty, but Thursday supposed it was still fairly early in the night (not that she would have been capable of telling). She could see the door to the rec field up ahead, and she increased her pace accordingly.

Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to come out of her room. She didn't really know the layout of the hospital well yet, not to mention she really had no REASON to come out other than curiosity. She sat down against the wall, deep in thought. The fact that she wasn't home and probably wouldn't be going home anytime soon hadn't sunk in until now.

Subaru was on edge as he came into the hallway, remembering that this had been where the rats had attacked him the night before last. But this time it was apparently still early enough that no monsters had come this far into the patient blocks yet. That was a relief, though it left Subaru needing to figure out just what he was going to do tonight.

Should he head towards the Sun Room again, see if anyone was in trouble there? It seemed to be one of the choke points, though maybe with the walls now climbable it wouldn't be quite so bad? Impossible to say until he'd seen for himself, really.

About to leave the hallway and continue on his way, Subaru spotted a lone woman sitting against one of the walls. She didn't seem like she was waiting for someone--people usually stood, ready to move on as soon as their companions arrived--and sitting down seemed like it was a bit risky, even though monsters weren't here yet. So Subaru approached her carefully, crouching down a couple feet away and addressing her politely, "Hello, Miss. Are you okay?"

"The same route as last night, this time?" Seiya asked, already heading down towards the end of the hallway. Unless something massive barred their way, like one of the more hazardous fights, there was no reason they'd need to discuss their route again after that. With any luck, they'd be the first there, and it wouldn't result in taking on whatever kind of monster had been hiding out in the room and had made a patient leave those bloody smears on the door last night. Well, she wouldn't count on it, but it would be nice.

"Unless you know of a faster way." Which seemed unlikely--they'd gone about as directly as Leon could imagine, based on what he remembered of the maps. He really, really needed to copy one of those down one of these days, though. The thing that had delayed them the night before was the matter of their previous night's spoils, rather than anything about their route as such.

Alec waved his flashlight around the hall, getting his bearings. Had he ever been down here before? He couldn't recall - all the damn hallways looked alike. Still, his map hadn't steered him wrong yet.

Spending the first part of his night making the trip over to the female block was becoming a routine. Ren didn’t really mind; he knew this particular route the best out of any he’d travelled during the night so far, and he knew what corners to keep an eye on. He’d been lucky with not having too many monsters come running down the hall after him, but who knew when that’d change.

Because bad things happening? Something to be expected here.

He kept going, paying mind to those around him.

The next hallway was long, but that didn't daunt Bourne, no matter how many SRD flashbacks he was having...and he was having a bunch. Despite what he'd been told, he still didn't think that this place had nothing to do with the CIA and their black-ops programs. Who knew? He hadn't seen all of those notes written. Perhaps the staff was trying to trick him. They'd have to try a lot harder.

Atoli found herself just about tiptoeing through the door and into the next hall. So far it was merely dark, dark, and more dark... and people, here and there, quickly scurrying off in which ever direction. They didn't stay for long, each seemingly having a destination in mind. She began to wonder where they were all going-- was something important happening that she didn't know about? Meanwhile, she didn't know if she had any place to be, and it was making her a little worried about her actions.

There were more options this time, going either right or left. Atoli didn't have a clue which way she needed to go, but...

Hey, this was almost feeling like an actual dungeon, now! It wasn't like anyone ever started off knowing which way they had to go. A lot of exploring in The World always required plenty of guesswork... Granted, no dungeon was ever this dark and scary, and none of them ever started off with an equally scary announcement.

Still! If one way didn't work, she could always backtrack and try a new way. With that in mind, Atoli decided to take a right from where she was, going at a slightly faster pace.

She stepped out into the main corridor, completely heedless of the ranting Head Doctor and his threats. She wasn't trying to escape, she just needed something to eat. If anyone got in the way, then they was rather stupid because one did not get in between a demon and her dinner.

He slowly closed the door behind him, trying to be as stealthy as possible. It wasn't too hard to notice the sounds of others in this corridor, too. So he was surrounded then...

Without bothering to turn on the flashlight, Zim practically dived for the wall, pressing his back flat against it, and simply stood there listening. The sounds didn't seem to be getting any closer just yet. They hadn't noticed him enter. Good!

Without a doubt, this place was proving to be one of the most dangerous trials he had ever been through. A higher percentage of his brain skills would be required to figure out how to survive and escape. But he was certain he could do this, as terrifying as it was turning out to be.

Using the very darkness that tried to hinder his progress as a cover, Zim slunk quietly down the hallway, back to the wall the entire time. He quietly moved around the taller human bodies occupying the hallway without notice.

Almost to the F-Block, and still no combat that he'd been able to hear. Renji wondered if he ought to be worried, with things so quiet. Still, it made for quick progress. There were more people in this hall, but again he gave them a wide berth.

The halls were buzzing with activity before he arrived, making him wonder if perhaps he'd waited too long. He didn't hesitate as he hurried on through to the female's block, where the others had agreed to meet.

A swift look in both directions was enough to assure Lia of the hall's temporary safety, and she hung a swift right as she entered it from the women's block, heading by memory down toward the main hallway to the South. "It's just a short distance along the next hall," she murmured back over her shoulder to Melissa. "If it's like last time, we should be able to make it without running into anything too horrible..."

[mind-caster.livejournal.com]

Melissa followed her as quickly and silently as she could, avoiding surrounding flashlight beams as often as was possible. She paid close attention to the path in case she would ever need to transverse it again, but it remained pretty simple for now. As they headed toward the south hallway, she remembered with a slight jolt that she'd met Ren just past here and they'd gone upstairs afterwards. She couldn't for the life of her remember where that staircase was.
