One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Aug 03, 2010 15:56

Day: 103
Characters: Duo Maxwell (devils_dance02); Jan Metzger (NPC), Sasha (NPC)
Summary: Duo follows his new friends into the depths of St. Edelweiss for more information -- or maybe just more trouble.
When: NIGHT - after the meeting in the hallway
Where: At the Level 2 Block.
Status: Ongoing



When Jan and Sasha turned to leave, Duo was the first to follow, continuing after them in hopes that he'd learn more from doing so than hanging around in his cell all day. Besides, their presence only did to raise even more questions within Duo, and there was no way he'd have been able to just sit and let them go off. Maybe if he managed to find out something worth knowing, the information would be enough to prove his worth to Heero, and that alone was worth damning all the other potential consequences of going with these two.

The route they took him on through the bowels of St. Edelweiss began in the library and descended into a dark, partially flooded tunnel that smelled like death. He supposed this was the mysterious passageway he'd heard the other patients talking about exploring one of these nights. The way was eerie and grotesque, like something out of Lovecraft, but Duo pressed on anyway, unfazed by the floaters he and the other two had to wade through. In fact, there was nothing that raised a question in Duo until they reached the end of their trek, arriving in a part of the hospital that Duo had never seen before. It was so like the other wing, and yet, somehow, disturbingly different, though what exactly gave Duo that impression, he wasn't quite sure.

"What... is this place?"
