Nightshift 23: Second floor; east wing, near railed area

This space. All around him, emptiness. Even his hushed, near-silent footsteps boomed with echo in the emptiness of the corridor; he stopped dead and listened hard.

There was something. Something moving along the corridor, slowly, regular. A scrape, like a wounded man dragging an injured leg. And he could feel something too - feel it, the heat in this cold space...

He gripped his pipe tightly, and ran as quietly as he could towards the nearest wall, bracing his body against it.

Was it coming closer?

A railing? Sora had never seen that before. The last time he had been upstairs was before the building had gone through its most recent change, so this was all new to him. While he'd been able to lead the way before, they were going to have to rely on something else now.

"You have a map, right?" Those weren't always easy to follow if they weren't detailed, but at this point it was all they had.

Rukia was about to lean toward Rangiku to take a look at the map when she heard a nasty popping noise, followed by the thud of a body hitting the floor. Head snapping up, Rukia tightened her grip on the bar and shone her flashlight in the direction of the sounds.

The beam revealed a woman on the floor (what was that pink stuff?), and two people standing over her. Rukia recognized the girl as Claire, but didn't know the man. "Claire?" Rukia said to no one in particular before rushing off in that direction to find out what was going on, or assist in the fight.

Rangiku pulled out the map, glancing at it quickly bt the followed Rukia's gaze. Was that Claire? And there was obviously a fight going on. Without even thinking about it, she stuffed the map back into her pocket and followed the other shinigami over to help their friend.
