Night 53: Patient Possessions Storage

Well, the second floor was just room after room of boxes, wasn't it? The Scarecrow reached for his map and pen, preparing to label the entire hall as "Where one might find boxes and batteries" when the name of the room caught his eye. "It says here that this is the Patient Possessions Storage," he said, stopping after only a few steps into the room. He took another look around- surely enough, every box on the shelf had its own label, each bearing the name of a patient. Whether they were the possessions of past or present patients was yet to be known.

The Scarecrow started at the A section, passing slowly down the line in the hopes of finding a box for Abe Sapien. With no luck on the first name, he skipped to the wall with the S boxes, scanning for a "Scarecrow" box while he was there. It looked like they followed the same pattern as the files, going with the name given by the Institute. He paused again, turning to Mele as an idea came to mind. "Do you suppose this is where they keep what we had on us when they brought us here?"

"Who knows?" Mele responded, looking around for 'M' section of names. "If that's the case, mine isn't here." Her name wasn't even that hard, and she'd been here for ages. Lazy!

She went to check the 'R' and 'L' sections, though, just in case. Not finding the name (or an approximation of it), she peeked into a box at random. Just normal stuff: clothes, and—she held up a plastic-looking thing—cellphones. "With the type of people I've met, I don't think their boxes would be this useless," she remarked, digging more through the box but not finding anything out of the ordinary. Mele's would have her sai in it, for instance.

Maybe more people than she'd thought were just boring. There was a lot of boxes, after all; more than the number of people she'd talked to. She rifled through another box, but found it more or less the same. "Have you found yours?"

The first thing Scott noticed about the room after sweeping it with the flashlight was that there was no spot for a full stand-up guitar case - only columns upon columns of white cardboard boxes. Things were not looking good so far for Operation Get Scott An Instrument That Is Actually Cool And Not A Ukelele.

"So remind me again: you said you haven't been up here before either, right?" Scott asked, gazing around and wondering which box was his. "Are you looking for your box too? What kind of stuff are you hoping's gonna be in there?" As he waited for an answer, he followed letters on the shelves until he reached "P" for "Pilgrim. Not surprisingly, he found nothing even close. Crap. What was his "real" last name supposed to be again? He knew his first was "Bryan" something.
