the janitor's closet, which has already been ransacked by Sho Minamimoto. Utena gets two metal pipes and a garbage bag.
-
Last stop is Main File Storage, where they gather the files of Renamon's friends. Before Utena can get her own, however, there is static over the intercom; the room suddenly becomes foggy and the walls and floor run with blood. Then everything goes black.

Trip to Doyleton. Forced to wear a ridiculous
pink dress. Sits with Starscream while pondering the end of the previous night.
- [Not posted; hiatused] Rest of the day spent aimlessly wandering the town. Presumably walked with Anthy for a while at some point, but parted with her again later in the day to explore other places.
Nightshift
-
All hell breaks loose. Fog rolls in, the surroundings decay, and the townspeople rot into zombies. Utena manages to fend off the hordes inside the antique shop with help from Juri. They find some iron pokers to defend themselves.
Running outside, Utena spots other patients being set upon by a large group of zombies and goes over to help them with Juri in tow. They are stopped, however, by someone (Ronixis) casting a spell that eliminates most of the zombies in that vicinity. Satisfied that the other group can handle themselves, they move on.
-
They decide to steal a car for protection and move up to North Street, where
Hal's Used Cars is. Thankfully, there are fewer zombies that way too, though they do have to take care of a few inside the dealership. They search for the keys to the show floor cars with no luck before being approached by
Sangamon Taylor, who offers to help them hotwire. Utena tears off a few strips of fabric from her skirt to hold the wires in place, and the pair
get rolling. Night ends before they can get very far.

Brunch with Harley. The two are glad to see one another again, and agree to trade items - Utena's iron poker for Harley's scimitar, which Harley says doesn't suit her.
3rd Shift - Waiting Room/Lobby 2
-
Visitor!Akio. Things don't go well.
4th Shift - F15
- [Not posted] Requests to be taken back to her room after her visit. Spends the shift dwelling on what just happened.
5th Shift - Dinner
-
Decides that something will get done tonight, goddamnit. Nightshift
- Despite being
unsettled by the change in I.R.I.S., Utena
hurries out toward the second floor. On the way, she sees something.
Or does she? Either way, she
keeps going.
- The intercom goes off again, making Utena hear some eerily familiar sounds, though she can't place them. While stopped listening to the intercom, she
comes across Leonard, who is checking out a wall. She asks if he saw something; he did. The two introduce themselves, and agree to look for the third floor together.
- On the second floor, they encounter
Jiraiya on Special Counseling. Utena almost steps in to help the group fighting him when Leonard makes like a tree and leaves.
She follows him, and they decide to go check out the Chapel. Leonard takes one of his trademark polaroids of Utena and explains his condition. They then
move into the Chapel and see the blood fountain. They're about to check it out when an explosion rocks the building, sending them running for cover. Shortly after that, the institute's illusions ramp up to 11. Utena hears more creepy sounds, and Leonard hears the sound of his wife dying. Night ends during this bit of chaos.

-
Rages at her nurse about the "releases" of Naoto and Anthy. Eats breakfast alone and frustrated.
2nd Shift - Sun Room
- [Not posted] Not in the mood for going along with institute activities for the day. Sticks around the Sun Room posting on the bulletin for the most part. Lunch shift post says she was in the shower, but that was a mistake. Adults were in the showers for second shift. HOORAY FOR MINOR RETCONS! 8D

Lunch with Chekov. Presumably they help each other to feel a little better. I'm not sure, since I failed at posting for most of this dayshift. D:
4th Shift - Showers
- [Not posted] Cleans herself off alone.
Nightshift
-
Meets with Harley for their planned item trade. However, it turns out that Utena is up for a weapon from Skuld tonight, and thus she doesn't need Harley's scimitar anymore. She lets Harley keep both items, much to Harley's delight.
- After changing and gathering the metal she needs, she heads to
Skuld's room. There, she watches as Skuld creates a Sword of Dios replica for her and a butterfly knife for Sam Winchester. She shows concern for Skuld after she collapses from the stress of the spell, but Skuld isn't in the mood to have people worry over her. Night ends after this.
