NIGHTSHIFT 21: 2nd Floor -- Decontamination Room Adjoining Laboratory

Sasuke moved quickly through the room, glancing around. It didn't look like there was too much to be had; in fact, the setup and the facilities made him think of a decontamination room. Given the fact that it was a mental institute, that was actually possible.

After two and a half years around Orochimaru and Kabuto, Sasuke had become familiar with such places. They were probably near a lab of some sort.

There was a door near the end of the narrow room, and it turned out to be unlocked. Turning towards Yoskiaki, he gestured towards it.

"We're probably near a lab," he said. In turn, a lab probably meant proximity to the monsters he'd been hearing about.

Naoe nodded. He had come to the same conclusion. Living countless lifetimes had put him near many places like this, some of those memories were ones he didn't want to think about at this moment. Better to focus on what was happening right now.

"This might be dangerous," he pointed out, but his tone had just the tiniest hint of excitement. Maybe this lab would answer some questions. He might find out more and therefore have something to report to his Lord. When he ever talked to the man again that was.

Yoskiaki sounded almost excited to discover the place. Sasuke had to admit that he was plased as well -- they might finally learn something. Still, precautions were necessary.

"Are you armed at all?" Sasuke lifted his bat for mild emphasis. He could spare a few pens and some cutlery. This man seemed relatively capable.

Naoe shook his head. "I haven't been able to find anything up until now. This is my first night here after all." He turned his attention to the room around them. Was there anything here he could use? Even if he had to tear apart the place to get it.

Sasuke extracted several knives and forks and held them out. He didn't like giving up weapons, but he could always steal more, and it was best to have armed backup.

"If you can throw, these will do," he said, although he glanced around as well. It didn't seem like there was much of note in this room, but they were improvising.

Naoe sighed. There didn't seem to be anything useful around here. Nothing they could pull apart either. He checked the pipes on the sink, but they were too strong and he didn't have any tools. Nothing. He took the 'weapons' from Sasuke. Usually he would just leviate them and throw them that way, there was more force behind that. He frowned and put a single knife on his right hand (holding the others in his left). Focusing for a moment, it shook and rose from his hand about an inch, but it took too much focusing and too much energy. It would be ineffective to fight that way.

He smiled, though it was a little sad. "I can throw," he said, clasping his fingers around it. "Usually I fight other ways, but I can improvise." He bowed very slightly out of gratitude and said "Thank you." Then he straightened up. "Well, let's see what's behind the door then, shall we?"

The comment about 'other ways' interested Sasuke, but again, it wasn't the time.

"So do I," he responded, a little dryly. "There should be something better if this really is a lab."

Carefully, he opened the door. It swung on silent hinges, and Sasuke mentally thanked whoever it was responsible for keeping this place in order. It was probably one of those infernal nurses, but at this point, Sasuke didn't care.
