Nightshift 38: F1-F10 Hallway

[shallweplay.livejournal.com]

Though experimenting with playing cards wasn't exactly the hardest of bodily training, Ophelia did feel that the rigorous testing of her speed, accuracy and throwing power had sharpened her mind for the coming night, and she went out into the night confident that she would be able to handle herself much more gracefully than she had previously. It still irked her greatly that she was no longer able to face any challenge that came her way head on, but she realized now that if she was going to make any progress in attempting to get her power back and shove Martin Landel's balls up his own esophagus, she was going to have to turn down a few fun opportunities here and there.

Ophelia left her room with Kio's maps and a handful of pens in her pockets. She felt more than a little naked without anything else in hand, and she was reminded instantly that she missed not having her full night vision, but no matter. She had to get to the Sun Room quickly. There was no way she was going to get tied up again and miss the opportunity to get further into the basement. The fact that Landel had mentioned something about "down there" specifically in his intercom announcement only made Ophelia more eager.

The Claymore hurried down the hall as fast as she could while making sure she didn't bump into anything in the dark.

"Oh." Ururu looked down, feeling kind of stupid once Kurt explained it to her. She didn't say anything else right away, instead letting Orihime and Kurt talk. She'd already messed up once, and she didn't want to do it again. Besides, Ururu was okay with going wherever they went. She was best at fighting, not at planning or picking directions.

Kurt put his hand on Ururu's head in a comforting motion, smiling. "It's okay. It's a tough word, especially if you know it in a different sense."

He thought for a moment, looking at the map. "No... I don't know if he saw one. I think he's been here one day longer than I have, so... maybe?" Kurt's face twisted down in thought and he placed one of his fingers on his chin. He could usually think so much better when he was upside-down, but he didn't want to freak Ururu and Orihime out too much tonight.

"Why don't we head to this exercise room and see what we find, hm?" he smiled down at Ururu. "Who knows? He may have gone to, uh... prepare for the big fight or something."

Unlikely, given Kon's extreme self-confidence, but who really knew?
