Nightshift 27: F14
Luckily for Anise, the institution's widespread blackout struck seconds after she had completed her little sewing project. The bad news was that her flashlight was--to her knowledge--still lying around on the floor of some laboratory on the second floor. She hadn't thought anything of leaving it at the time, but she now found herself regretting it just a little bit. Until her friends arrived with their own lights, she wouldn't be able to see anything at all.
Still, the room was small and simple enough that she could make her way around by memory. Stepping slowly so as to not stumble into anything, she carried the newly completed doll and placed it on top of the shared dresser. While its color and texture were a little off, the doll's shape was unmistakably like Tokunaga. With pointed teeth in a menacing adorable grin, it stared blankly with its button eyes across the dark room. Maybe her roommate wouldn't share her taste in decor, but for Anise the addition made the room feel a little less foreign.
She would have liked to finish more sewing before the meeting, but the darkness made that a little too difficult to bother. Instead, she carried her supplies to the dresser and dumped them in the bottom drawer. She then retrieved the metal pipe she had hidden in her room, and set it at the foot of her bed.
There! It looked like she was ready. With little else to do, she flopped onto her bed, rested her head on the pillow, and waited.
