Nightshift 40: M11-M20 Hallway

[M12]

There was this 'Avatar' again, the thing that supposedly linked one's consciousness within this video game. Klavier couldn't quite understand how such a thing could help anyone fight, but he was certain that this connection had something to do with how and why Endrance was taken. If this really wasn't something every player experienced, then there was little doubt others might find such a thing interesting, yes? He still wasn't sure how this all worked, but preserving this connection had to be the point of it all. At least in this particular case.

Any further discussion on this or the strange 'Kira' murders was cut short with the intercom announcement. If one could call it that. Herr Doktor's voice and demeanor changed come nightfall, true, but this was stranger than usual. In fact, he couldn't even be sure if it was the doctor. It was far too raspy to identify either way.

This was getting more bizarre with every evening. First taunting then what may or may not have been snoring... and now this strange dilapidated voice?

"Open the box?" he repeated. What could he possibly mean by that? ...Wait. Was this voice even addressing the patient population? It seemed too specific a thing to say to everyone. Could this be a message for Herr Doktor? Or was this a message for a specific party? Maybe someone had managed to do something recently...

Dias had made sure to leave their room soon after the start of nightshift; although Kakashi had said he was welcome to stay, he really didn't have much time for introductions to his roommate's team. Besides, he expected they had their own business to attend to - he'd just get in the way, no matter what Kakashi said.

He had no idea how long it would take Claude and Guy to reach the sun room; the obvious solution was to get there first and simply wait. After some brief deliberation, he opted to take the sphinx's shield with him, on the off chance they reached the basement, acquired the second key, and needed it with them. It seemed highly unlikely they'd get that much accomplished in a single night, but he certainly wouldn't forgive himself if they didn't have it when they needed it.
