Night 44: West Wing, South Hall 1-B

[From here]

Yuffie kept close to the wall, footsteps swift and near silent. Her flashlight felt awkward and bulky in her left hand. It'd be totally useless to her until she hit the File Room, since she had absolutely no intention of turning it on unless she had to.

The darkness was as comforting as it was nerve-wracking. After that… After that thing with Nero, deep down in the depths of Mako Reactor 0, a simple absence of light felt like a really dumb thing to be scared of. Yuffie prided herself on being fearless, and no jerkass bondage boy with a brother complex was gonna change that. … Not that she'd ever been afraid of the dark! She was a master ninja, and ninja didn't do nightlights.

No sign of others out here either. It was quiet so far. No sign of monsters either. Treading carefully, Hime headed down the hall towards the main junction.

Anise peered cautiously from behind the door before moving forward, but she couldn't actually see anything. Nothing was probably better than seeing Sync's face right away, though. Even though it meant Dahlia wasn't there, either.

The girl took a few steps into the hall, looked and listened to see if anyone else was there, then turned back to the door she came through. If Dahlia wasn't there yet, she had to be back in the girls' block. If she went back, Anise could still intercept her there, give her some line like "the meeting place changed," and get her someplace safe.

[From here.]

And that was when an arm suddenly snaked its way around hers, pulling her away from the door and closer to her captor.

"Hey Anise," Sync greeted the Guardian, offering her a wide smile despite the fact that it was still quite dark.

"It's good to see you're early."

They say prolonged exposure to extreme situations dulls the senses, but Klavier wasn't feeling any less anxious than he had when first leaving his room. In fact, he felt worse the further he went. His attempts at keeping himself calm weren't going very well, less so when there was no one around to keep pretenses up for.

Despite the fact that the corridor was plenty wide and thoroughly empty, the dark was giving him a heightened sensation of claustrophobia and isolation. He quickened his pace as he went down the hall. The sooner he got to his destination, the quicker his dread could hopefully subside. ...At least for a little while, perhaps.

Almost there now. Lockon headed for the rooms where he knew Allelujah to be now--once he was there, he was sure, the two of them could go pick up Setsuna and Feldt, and they'd figure something out.

While the hallways might have been frightening and mysterious for some patients, Sakura didn't seem bothered. She exercised the recommended amount of caution(and maybe a pinch more), but this wasn't unlike many other missions. Skulking around in the dark was like second nature to a ninja.

It took all Scourge had not to rub his hands and snicker with petty evil glee. He was perfect for it, too, he'd hear any interlopers far before he found them.

The hallway was oddly quiet when she emerged from the room block, and Ayumu paused near the door for a moment to listen. Perhaps it was possible that her preparations hadn't taken as long as she'd thought, and it was still early in the night. Or perhaps something was happening elsewhere, and that was drawing attention.

Either way, there was little to do but move on, since she heard nothing out of the ordinary, or that would indicate danger of some kind.

Teresa left the female barracks quickly, knowing Rolo would not be in them. Recalling where the boy had run into her, she had a decent idea of which barracks the boy's room was. She would find him and make him explain.

Still dragging the boy down the hallway, they neared the female barracks.

"You have an audience to attend, dear boy," she answered his question.

There was a remarkable lack of other patients wandering in the hallways he had passed thus far. But unlike two nights ago, he had heard faint noises indicating the presence of others which at the very least seemed reassuring.

Scar silently continued along his way.

Once Sheena made it out of the female block, completely away from Yukari's presence, the ninja leaned against the wall. Tilting her head back and closing her eyes, she let out a long sigh. What was she going to do with this whole youkai thing? Soubi said they just needed to get used to each other, but his experience was with other humans. Yukari was youkai; that made things a little different. Or did it?

Soubi had asked her why not just go through with it, lose her ears to the youkai. The ninja really didn't have a good reason other than fear. She was afraid. She wanted it, but she was afraid of how things would change afterward. Plus, there was the pact to consider, assuming it worked and Yukari was willing. She'd never been romantically involved with one of her summons before, despite the young, naive relationship her and Corrine technically had, sort of, if Sheena stepped away from herself to look at it. Which she wasn't going to do.

Pushing off the wall, Sheena started down the hall toward the stairs. She'd worry about the thing with Yukari later. She was about to leave relative safety and she needed to have her mind focused on that and not that damn youkai.

Sho barely even noted the female block halls as he passed; there weren't actually that many out and about yet. His mind on the task ahead, he simply passed by the zetta slow yoctograms milling about the area.

Another quick sweep of the area with the torch and she hurried up along the corridor. She was fairly sure that the set of rooms that she wanted was in this direction. She hoped that she wasn't late.

Unlike the previous halls, this one was completely empty when Kakashi came in. There might have been patients further down, but the women at least seemed to get a quick start to things. Kakashi ran a bit faster when he realized there was no one to bump into here just yet. Momo had done a good job of keeping up so far, so the jounin didn't think the quicker pace would make her lag any.

Not much had changed in the few minutes the group had spent in the other hall. There were a few patients to be seen, but still no dangers, and that was what counted the most. Kakashi worked over the possibilities of what they would find in his mind as he kept moving, preparing orders for his team in the case of each scenario. No matter what they ran into, he wanted to be prepared for it, so they could respond as quickly as possible.

Her present circumstances found Evangeline more wary than normal, and now she paused a good long while to listen for movement before she proceeded out into the greater halls. They were all but bereft of fellow patients... and while she neither wanted them to see her nor held much trust for them, at this point she would have preferred there be others around to attract monsters while she got on with her business.

Hopefully Junpei wouldn't keep her waiting long.

The cell block was relatively calm when Tsubaki left it behind, and although she still didn’t have a flashlight to help illuminate her way, she paused for a moment to scan her surroundings. She glanced behind her; the corridor seemed calm, as well. No flashes of movement. No flickers at the corners of her eyes.

Then she was mentally mapping the distance to the stairwell, every breath and movement of her body carefully monitored as she made to blend in with the darkness around her. Anything could happen at any moment, an attack, or otherwise… One of the many lessons this place had taught her, and continued to teach her.

Just because the intercom was silent for now didn’t mean much.

This hallway was still a part of the patient rooms, so he kept moving through the darkness, looking for... nothing.

[To here.]

For a moment he wondered how his comrades were faring in the battle against the UN Forces, but he quickly forced the thought away from his mind. They were Celestial Being: They were going to continue fighting without him. Still, that did not shake away the desire to be present in the battles as well, fighting with them, especially now that he was unsure how many Meisters were left.

That is why he needed to leave Landel's immediately, and destroy the institution in the process.

He made a right—the same one he took the previous night—and entered the next hall.

There wasn't any sign of other people in the halls. The night had been quiet and uneventful, so far, but Kagura knew better than to let her guard down.

[from here]

And just like the previous night, the farther Kitty traveled from her room, the more creeped out she got. It wasn't like she was afraid of the dark or anything like that; it was just... different knowing she couldn't count on her phasing ability as easily as she could back home.

...not that she wanted to show it off or anything, but it had been a comfort knowing she had a way out of a messy situation. Or at least a way to put up a decent fight or whatnot. She couldn't say exactly what was up with her powers since she'd only used them a couple times after arriving here, but the fact remained that something was wrong.

Way to depress yourself, Kitty, she scolded herself, shaking her head in an attempt to shake away those thoughts. One of these days she'd take the time to see what she could and couldn't do in regards to phasing, but now wasn't that time. There was no sense in letting herself get upset over it then. For all she knew, last night had been a fluke -- a one-time thing.

She could hope, anyway. For now she'd settle on getting through the halls as quickly as possible.

If the Head Bastard was the boot, did that make the patients the bucket? Naah. Let the fucker take the swan dive, even if that made the patient/prisoner population a toxic runoff catchment basin.

It was quiet out here. The kind of quiet that, back home, would make him look around to make sure he hadn't crossed over into no-white-guy territory. Either he'd gotten a late start, or it was just coincidence in action.

The main hall was just ahead, and once again Heat had to wonder how quickly others were moving for there to already be flashlight beams flickering off the walls. Were some of the captives released earlier than others? If so, what was the purpose of that?

Something else to ask Roland, perhaps.

It didn't take long for Teisel's nervousness to spark into irritation. He was acting like an islander in a sub-gate, for crying out loud! This wasn't like him.

Alkaid turned the corner just as easily as she always had. Every single night it had been like this: she'd meet someone in the southwest hall, and they'd go from there. But this time she was meeting Haseo - only Haseo, for that matter. Unless he'd found someone to go along with them tonight. Which she wouldn't mind... but she'd wanted something that was just the two of them. Some hot, super-secret training, just like old times.

But here there was no Atoli to stir and make jealous. But, hey - at least this was an excuse to catch up with Haseo. Payback for Atoli getting the one-up on Haseo this whole time.

And if she ever showed back up again? Alkaid could tease her so hard. Yeah, all they'd been doing since they arrived in Landel's was get closer and closer! Oh, man! Just imagining the look on Atoli's face - the best.

Smiling in spite of herself, she ran on.
