Nightshift 36: M61-M70 hallway

[tyki-pon.livejournal.com]

After a pretty uneventful dinner Tyki gratefully inhaled from his cigarette. Oh, how he had missed his nicotine, and it'd be a cold day in hell if he'd ever have to go without them again. The Noah took a moment to enjoy his smoke properly before finally stepping out into the still-deserted hallway.

Landels was another distance away from a smoke-free nut house.

Now that he had everything he had been looking for, Tyki found himself wondering what to do for tonight. He could track down that Shinigami person, but the odds of randomly running into this 'Hinamori Momo' were pretty slim. Searching the building for someone who he wouldn't even recognize wasn't the way he liked doing things, anyway. He'd have to find something else to do for tonight.

He guessed he'd think of something entertaining along the way.

Sanji's mood brightened considerably upon seeing his crewmate and he waved back with Chopper's hat. As soon as the reindeer-turned-human was close enough, the chef plopped it down on his head. "There you go," he said with a grin. "You look ten times better now."

It still wasn't the same, but the hat was a familiar touch. It was also good to see that the boy wasn't looking as upset as he'd been that morning. (Due to his pep talk, he was sure.)

Chopper grinned, reaching up to take the brim of his hat between his fingers. He readjusted it on his head, settling it into a more comfortable and secure position.

"Thank you!" he said, rubbing the material between his fingers for a moment and then dropping his arms back to his sides. It was a little unsettling to have the hat, as it reminded him of everything that had happened last night, but... He couldn't deny he liked having it back. He might've been in a body he wasn't fully used to yet, but the feeling of the hat on his head remained familiar.

"Oh!" he said suddenly, remembering the other reason he'd come to Sanji's room. "I told Usopp we'd bring him some of his wood. You have it in your closet, right?"

"Yeah, I do." Sanji opened the door to his room, motioning to his side. "That closet there. If you could grab it, that'd be great. My roommate doesn't like me smoking in the room." In retrospect, he probably should have waited until later to light a cigarette up, but he'd hardly been thinking about the wood at the time.

"Grab a little extra if you can and I'll carry it."

Chopper went into the room, heading for the closet Sanji had indicated. He opened the door, sorting through the various pieces of wood until he had pulled out five of the size Usopp had requested.

He wrapped his arms around the bundle and carried it awkwardly out of the room.

"This is how much Usopp told me to bring him."

Sanji glanced down at his smaller friend. "Oh, is that all?" He motioned with his free hand. "Go ahead and toss me a couple of the more difficult to carry pieces, then." It wouldn't be fair to make Chopper toddle around with that on his own. Even human he was still rather small.

"Guess we should head over there, right?" It'd be good to see the sniper... maybe talk about what had happened with Nami. He'd seen the message on the board as well, after all.

Chopper nodded, setting down the pile of wood. He picked out the larger of the pieces for Sanji; the chef would be able to carry them more easily than he could in this body.

"Here," he said, holding out the two he'd selected and debating a third. "If you could take these..."

The branches were long and awkward, but nothing Sanji wouldn't be able to manage. Sticking his cigarette in his mouth, he shuffled the weight around until he was holding it in a way that was easy to walk and smoke with. (This was important, after all.)

Closing the door to his room, the chef glanced off down the hallway. "Usopp's room is M33. He'll still be there, right?"

He didn't wait for a response before starting off.
