Nightshift 38: West Wing, South Hall 1-B

Ophelia carefully opened the door, listening and looking around in both directions for any signs of monster activity. When she was satisfied that there was none that she could detect, she swung the door open and hurried down toward the main hall where more of the moonlight could be seen faintly. Once she got there, she knew she was definitely going to have to keep her guard up, considering that the main hall had been where the big monster from the previous night had been.

Yep, these were women's rooms. If he had to guess, the room sections would be laid out in a square. There'd be another couple sections alongside these, right? Right.

Hoping he was on the right track and not getting hopelessly lost, Teisel picked up his pace a little.

And here it was. Armand couldn't even quite remember why this had been the compromise meeting place, but he was used to finding it himself in the dark by now. The door to the woman's block was just across the hall, and he knew he could wait here in relative safety if he kept quiet and the others hurried. He leaned against the wall and started rehearsing his apologies to TK in his mind.

Still mostly quiet. Which was a relief, as every noise was an order of magnitude or three louder with a headache. Pity you couldn't package that effect -- would save money on Walkman batteries. Cut way down on mercury contamination of groundwater, too.

That weird calm staying with her, she thought offhand... This is the way we went last night, right before....

The question was, of course, where to go first. Not to the boys' rooms, of course. Not this time. But Elena was in a habitual pattern, and while debating on where to go, her body kind of naturally headed in the direction she was used to moving in. She kind of glanced around for other patients, but her main focus was simply thinking.

She moved her flashlight back and forth down the hallway. Hmm, everything seemed to be clear. For now, anyway. She moved along the same route she had gone last night. She'd never reached the lab, but she'd already looked over the map plenty enough times to memorize the way.

If Mr. J were here, would he go off to a room by himself, knowing what might be lurking there? ...No, he probably wouldn't. The boss was a genius. Strategically, it'd be disadvantageous to head off by oneself. He'd probably be sure to recruit a person or two. He wasn't one of those muscle-brained morons who were too busy trying to save face and prove a point to realize you can't do certain things alone.

Her puddin' would never admit it, but he knew he needed her and the rest of the gang just as much as they needed him. That was why it worked. That's why he'd become a forced to be reckoned with. He knew the score and how to deal with it.

She sighed to herself. Harley was only going to make herself miss him all over again... She couldn't think about that! She couldn't! She had to focus! After she got her babies, they'd bust out of there and see her darling sweetheart right afterward.

Dark hall was still dark, night vision was still crap. Check. Evangeline had brought her flashlight this time, but she didn't plan on using it unless she absolutely had to. She still thought that a vampire using a flashlight was just dumb, and from a practical perspective the flashlight had a severe limitation in that it could only illuminate so much of your surroundings, but it made your own position obvious. Not something you wanted to use in a hostile environment unless you were already at a severe disadvantage, stealth-wise.

No, she'd get along just fine. Assuming they didn't move furniture around for the night, anyway.

Scar glanced around at the sound of a few footsteps, but concluded they were mere patients. From what he had collected the monsters usually didn't appear this early around the patient blocks, but it would be wise to still remain on his guard.

As far as she could tell, this hall was entirely empty, but that didn't make Ayumu any less cautious as she made her way south, heading for the larger hallway that connected the patient blocks. Left down that hallway, then another left instead of going straight along the way that would take her to the Sun Room.

Despite his best efforts, Leon could tell that the wounds on his back had opened up again--the cuts from that bird thing were deep, and the stitches the nurses put in hadn't been intended to hold up under this kind of exertion. But he needed that sword, so Leon just muttered to himself and kept dragging his sack of metal along.

One hall to go. Akihiko picked up his pace as he stepped into the women's block.

The demon moved swiftly down the corridor towards the recreational field, her eyes gone a sickly yellow. She kept her gaze firmly away from everyone in the corridor, not wanting temptation to get the better of her. She just hoped that there was something out there already that she could devour.

The mention of new patients arriving caused Leon to pause for a moment just outside the female block. It was a long-shot, but... what if Rena had been brought there? Or Celine? Precis had been there before, so maybe she would return as well?

It seemed as though everyone was disappearing around him. The chances of more showing up just didn't seem that high. Checking for just a few moments couldn't hurt though...

It wouldn't be much farther now. Kira slipped through the shadows, his eyes fixed on the door to the patient cell block.

Gin knew the paths well by now and it took him precious little time to skulk through the darkened hallways and on toward the meeting point. He could sense it easier now, the reiatsu of the others, weak as it might be. Gin didn't bother to suppress the small amount of spiritual power he still had as he turned the corner, slitted eyes flicking about for any signs of attack.

It felt just a little like he was going in circles as Tony headed north again, up toward the cell block that lay directly parallel to the one he was housed in. It was tempting to hurry, just because he was nearing his first destination for the night, and limited visibility be damned.
