Night 50: Main Hallway, 1-West

[heroesdontshave]

[from here]

It looked like the hallway opened up over here. Guess he couldn't expect to just run around and follow a linear corridor forever, but now he had to figure out which way he wanted to go. Normally, he'd just run down whatever hallway he happened to lay eye on first, but again, he was running a liiittle blind here.

He still wasn't seeing any people anywhere. Maybe everyone was hiding. If everyone knew the staff turned into monsters and tried to eat them, then it'd make sense that they'd try to keep low. Thankfully, he'd be taking care of whatever was wandering around this place, so they wouldn't have to stay hiding for long. Once that was done, they could blast their way out of there and he could find his way back to the others. Couldn't keep everyone waiting on account of him, right?

The flippancy was annoying, but she'd already threatened to kill him once tonight. It was probably enough.

Besides, he was showing a more interesting vulnerability than simple fear. "That girl, right? What was her name?"

Whether Eva had genuinely forgotten or was trying to make him drag up memories by association for some purpose or another was anyone's guess.

"Chidori."

Junpei said her name softly, fondly, sadly as he did every time he spoke of his dead girlfriend. He'd managed to not deal with her loss and the loss of everyone else when Landel had sent them away. The others he knew were probably back home - hopefully back home - but Chidori... She was dead.

He rubbed his chest idly, almost wishing there was a scar even if he could still feel her inside him. He then decided to change the subject.

"Why do you think that douchebag decided to make the translator thing not work? Other than to irritate us?"

Evangeline could actually bring herself to like that Junpei; the wistful, worldly one that knew loss and fought alone and without the prospect of reward. Unfortunately it was trapped under an extremely annoying teenager and could only, it seemed, emerge for a few seconds at a time.

She sighed.

"How would i know? I'm evil, not insane. He's showing his hand much too early. If I was him I'd save changing the established rules of the game for a time when we're a real threat to him. As it is people will know to plan for this in the future."

Maybe. Some of the patients here were pretty stupid.

"I don't think it's us he sees as a threat." Junpei took his hat off, rubbed the top of his head and put it back on. "That radio dude. Or something. Maybe."

He then shrugged. "And I, uh, just thought maybe there was some kind of diabolical reasoning that only the really evil understood." As Junpei, clearly, wasn't evil and would not understand.

"If the radio was a problem he could just jam it. Unless you think he's sitting up there with a giant board of unlabeled switches and knows as much as any of us about what he's doing. That's what my evil genius intuition is telling me, Junpei. Whatever powers he has he doesn't have close to full control of them, he's just making everything up as he goes. I'm surprised he hasn't been eaten by his own monsters yet."

Speaking of which... she looked back at the sword she'd almost nicked him with earlier. "Do you know how to use that thing?"

[whos-da-man.livejournal.com]

"Maybe he can't jam it cause that's the simple solution." Junpei shrugged. "I'm just glad you speak Japanese."

He then gave Evangeline a bit of a glare. "Duh. Of course, I can."
