Nightshift 37: F1-F10 Hallway
As far as dinner shifts went, that one had actually been enjoyable. It had been nice to have somebody to talk to, to show off for, and Sen hadn’t seemed to mind all that much. Except for that one teeny-tiny little slip, just after Yuffie’d revealed that she was a ninja…
What was with that?
Yuffie knew that it was a little unorthodox to be quite so ‘open’ about what she did, both back home and here in Landel’s. She had her reasons, though; logical reasons, no matter what anybody else had to say about it. And those reasons had a lot more to them than a simple love of showing off.
Maybe Sen was going to be another one of those who underestimated her, then - the woman had seemed to soak up everything she’d said like a sponge, hadn’t refuted anything, but… Yuffie couldn’t quite shake the feeling that something was off. Sen seemed so normal and, yeah, totally defenseless - but as far as she could tell, Landel had a weird fetish for kidnapping fighters, or people with some kind of ability or significance...
Ugh, maybe this place was just making her paranoid. Besides, now wasn’t the time to be cross-examining and mentally dissecting her roommate! She had places to go, people to see, and a Turk to interrogate! With that in mind, after a quick double-checking of her ’equipment’ - a small bunch of pens tucked away in various places, the gardening claw, and her flashlight - the young thief headed out into the night.

Re: F1
Well, as normal as this place would allow her to be.
"I will," she said quietly and closed her eyes. Miku's mind wandered for a little bit. "You know? This is the second time a ghost priestess has given me rope marks. You'd think they were buying the ropes in bulk, huh?" Miku's fingers toyed with the fake necklace she'd tied around Sousuke's wrist earlier in the night. They curled around the thin black ribbon, and touched the warm fabric in quiet meditation. And just like that, she fell inside the black-and-white world her sixth sense opened.
A great, white, mechanical... thing, with Sousuke inside. It reminds her of a knight, if a knight were several stories tall and looked like a Gundam.
Miku holds her breath, watching him. She can see something on his face that isn't unlike wrathful determination. If she added cuts, or tattoo marks, the face was more familiar.
There is a familiar word inside her mind, Arbalest. Miku shakes her head, and her hand briefly touches Sousuke's shoulder.
The little medium took a deep, sharp breath and felt everything flare up in pain. One of these days, she chided herself, she would learn to just not touch.
