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.

The summoner paused once outside the men's block to reorient herself to where the screaming was coming from. Left.

Without waiting, she ran down the hallway and through the door to the next one.

So far it seemed peaceful enough. Elena followed along close to the wall, keeping an eye out for both familiar faces and also anything that could be labelled as dangerous. There was no way that she'd be caught with her guard down now, not when Reno was counting on her to find him.

Renamon walked into the next hall before saying her last thoughts on the matter. She spoke clearly without looking back. "You may not want or need my help with anything, but if you do ever need anything, my offer is not just a courtesy. It's a promise." She walked a few more steps. "I have ways of making problems like that go away, even without the powers I had. So. If you do ever have need of anything."

"Alternatively," she continued, "you could use magic. I mean, you are a witch."

Another hallway that was almost empty. Maybe everyone had thought along the same lines as Angel, and were currently fleeing through the hills.

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

"Magic is... different here," Willow tried to explain. "It's a lot harder. I tried a confusion spell on that ceiling monster last night, and it barely worked. Plus, it left me much weaker than it should." Just thinking about creating a full-fledged weapon made Willow dizzy, remembering that.

"So, um... thanks," she directed at Angel. "I'll do that." She'd also been reading about the alchemists on the bulletin board, but never seemed to find the right one to ask. If Angel was recommending someone, then Willow couldn't see anything wrong with just talking to her.

She stopped for a moment at the new hallway. "How are we going to get out? I don't think the front door's going to be wide open."

[no-barbarian.livejournal.com]

There was more activity down this way. From here, it looked like he had three choices this time. Two doors were coming on the right, and the end of the hallway emptied into a pretty big space. More choices meant more chance of picking the wrong way. Teisel did not like the thought of getting lost in here.

This place is practically a Sub-gate! Let's see now... For the first door, more people (mostly women, oddly enough) were coming out than going in. Teisel walked past that door to the second. No one was using this one, and a quick try of the handle told him why: it was locked.

Well. Onward and upward, then.

Sync merely laughed when the other patient laid down his reasons for wanting to slack off, finally glancing over his shoulder to give the latter a rather amused smirk for his comment.

"If they had the situation in hand we would've been out of this hellhole already." Or, in his case, he would've stayed dead. It would've been a win-win situation for everyone, which only made him even more annoyed at the fact that little to no progress had been made for their escape. Well, whatever the case was, the God-General was certain it'd change now that they were allowed to jump over the walls.

"You really are clueless about this place, aren't you?"

[4lulzngiggles.livejournal.com]

"Mm? So you think you can get out by your own efforts? I must say, that's not at all like what I'm used to." Though it was entirely likely that the rules had changed while he was out. A whimsical scheme that let people out at various points for no easily-discernible reason would rather fit for a different kind of game. Besides, there hadn't been any missions sent out; that in and of itself was a bit worrying for the boy.

Not that he was going to admit it. Instead he met that smirk with a smile of his own, as he casually added, "Well, I did just wake up. I'm always a little slow when I wake up in a strange bed." Which was a manifest untruth, but Joshua couldn't help but evade Sync's questions; it was an ingrained, and potentially humorous, course of action for him. What wasn't so funny was the sheer lack of light around. Joshua wasn't afraid of the dark, but not being able to see the Noise coming was not a situation he'd enjoy. Especially not in a hospital of all things.

The door opened straight out into a hallway and Callisto frowned. She wasn't about to pause too long picking directions to go in, however. If she was correct, the path to her right would take her deeper into the Institute, and that was just what she wanted.

As Alkaid passed through the last hallway into the next one, her mind expounded on what she'd unconsciously stumbled upon in the last hallway. Could she really be a hero in Landel's? Years of reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Western novels had really built up the 'heroism' idea in her mind.

That was part of the reason she'd started playing The World - to be a hero. She'd always kind of thought of it jokingly, like something she should be ashamed of. People weren't heroes in real life.

But here, suffering was real. Pain was real, too - she'd been well acquainted with that already. Did that mean that her dream was possible?

In this body, maybe.

Maybe this wasn't so much of a curse after all. She just wouldn't tell anyone about it. Like they deserved to hear her innermost thoughts, anyway. She didn't want to be mocked.

She didn't stop in the hallway to listen to what people were talking about. She couldn't. She had to hurry... to what? She didn't know. All she knew was that she might have company waiting for her in the next hallway...

Ren passed the threshold of the cell block with a certain amount of caution, sweeping the hallway as much as he could. A few people… no monsters, by the sounds of it. That was fine by him.

“There wasn’t anything in the main hallway when I came this way,” said the doll, hoping the few minutes in between hadn’t changed things. Avoiding corridors on the second floor by picking one of the stair wells further down would be kind of moot if they ran into something along the way.

Naomi followed afterwards, finding it strange to be in this situation. The follower, not the leader. She comforted herself by telling herself she was just covering the rear.

"Well, things move fast, but it looks clear so far." She kept her senses alert - it was sad, that in a way, she'd missed this. The anticipation, the tenseness, the sense of purpose. Why had she ever let herself get talked into giving it up?

Rinali ducked down the corridors quietly and quickly, ignoring the shrieks of horror and other sounds echoing the halls this night.

Sheena held the door open for Forte and watched him struggle along the wall. She was expecting himt o stumble at some point. When that happened, she'd catch him despite her earlier claim that she'd point and laugh. He was a stubborn idiot that should take the aid offered him, but guys seemed to like to try and be tough around girls.

"We'll head through the doorway here on the right just a ways down the hall," Sheena told the injured man. "The clinic's in M35 and my friend's name is Raine. I warn you... she can pretty scary if you don't listen to her so none of this I don't need help crap with her."

The summoner grinned. "I can't guaruntee your safety then."

[runner-up-robot.livejournal.com]

Forte sighed - they were making terrible time, and he probably needed whatever help they could offer as soon as possible. "Alright, only because it'll be faster, not because I need help," and held out his right arm.
Of course, he also realized it would be far more embarrassing to refuse help then fall on his face while she laughed. And painful.

Meche was wandering almost at random, in a way that reminded her of being in that place a little too strongly for her taste. At least this time there weren't any monsters. She had a flashlight too, which was another step up.

This hallway was larger than the one that led back to her room. If she swung the light one way, she could make out something that looked like an even bigger hallway. But if she was trying to get to Manny's room--

Oh, Meche thought, the hell with it, and set off at random.

Albel ignored anyone present as he headed through the open doors into the next hallway. It was about time he'd head somewhere outside and find something worth his time.

So far, so good. MOMO paused long enough to take a quick look around, then hurried on. She wanted to get back to her room quickly, and that meant she had to move fast.

[floraltempest.livejournal.com]

[pleading-ngri.livejournal.com]

Same old, same . . . wait. Was that a little girl?

Phoenix stopped and gaped as the door swung shut behind the scampering little figure, flishlight beam dropping to illuminate a small circle on the floor beneath his hand. That was definitely a little girl. Running around. Alone.

He set his jaw, walking down the hall with a renewed sense of purpose, face burning. If Edgeworth had told him all of that just to get him riled up (and he had gotten riled up at certain things he'd been told, hadn't he?), he was going to kill him.

Beatrix walked quickly out of the women's block and paused to see if Donna was following her or not. She'd decided that she would go raid the pharmacy. Not only did it give her something to do, but the supplies would be good to have for her wards.

Plus, she could drop some off at that clinic so she could stop feeling like she had any kind of debt to that elf-woman.

[mateswithnobody.livejournal.com]

"Oy, hey, wait a minute!" Donna followed out in a hurry, a bit flustered. When Arlene wanted to go somewhere, she apparently went no questions asked. But she was injured! "In case you've forgotten, you're still hurt! Just what's so important that you need to leave, huh? I mean where are you even going?"

Meche went a few steps into the hallway and then stopped to make sure Manny was keeping up. His protective instinct was sounding more like paranoia to her, but if he wanted to hold her hand to ward off the things that went bump in the night, fine.

But if the children were here, Meche thought suddenly, she hoped they were still snug in their beds. Just in case.

[yourtravelagent]

"But..." He sighed a little as she left. Far from the worst misunderstanding he'd had with a woman, but then again, Meche was in a league of her own. He could admit he still had some work to do.

Shaking his head, he followed after her, leaving the door wide open and slowing to a halt behind her.

"Did I forget to mention there are monsters?" he asked coolly, a clear indication of leniency in his tone. He felt it might be a good idea to rely on the rumor until he could assess the situation for himself. The saint's nature, however many times it had been tested in the past, just didn't complement his second-hand view of the joint. Aside from the Ninth Underworld, he had learned to assume that nowhere was safe, and he'd feel a lot better if she would take up that belief as well.

Lucivar turned into the hallway, his step speeding up as he drew closer. He was more anxious now then he had been before. His Warlord Prince instincts were taking over and he kicked himself for leaving a Queen unattended. Regardless of the fact that she wasn't his Queen, she was still part of the Coven and the Inner Circle, not to mention a friend, and he should have been there to protect her from the beginning.

He clenched his fist, anger bubbling through his veins as he pushed through the closest door, looking for Karla.

"The other I do not know the name of," Beatrix continued. "But I'd wager he's male judging from the asshole comments he leaves on the board from time to time."

[mateswithnobody.livejournal.com]

"A girl and a prick? Well, that balances it nicely, doesn't it?" Another eye roll.
