[behisequal]

[The occupant of room 203 has not been back to his room in days--though not out of choice. After discovering something that immediately made his blood run cold, he has vowed to never return and has done everything he can to avoid it. Today...that changes, as he realises just how foolish he has been.

The object of his distress sits exactly where he threw it days ago. Even now, the contents swirling around a small false baby captured within makes him unsettled. He eyes it warily to see if it will pull that same trick as before, but after a few moments and no change, he simply tears a blanket off the bed and throws it on the glowing blue object. Even being near it again fills him with a fear he cannot fully understand and part of him wishes to be rid of it forever--but he knows better. There must be a reason why he has been given such a thing and he will find out.

And with that determination fueling him, he gathers the bundle up, heads down the stairs, and heads out of the bathhouse. Anyone catching him on his way out may see a note of distress in his expression...]

[1207 was barely back in his room too. Somehow, he felt better while doing something, let it be just exploring the place. He noticed that certain areas giving him strange feelings, mostly fear or terror. It was really confusing, and of course, frightening.

Anyway, he's on one of his patrolling trips again when he spots the stranger. He seems slightly out of it too, and 1207 doesn't like that expression.]

Sorry, sir, is everything alright? Despite the circumstances, of course. [He adds, because amnesia seems like a common occurrence.]

I'm sorry this is so late!

[Admittedly, he feels a bit on edge now that he's out on the starry fields and away from the relative safety of the bathhouse. So when he hears that question directed at him, his attention snaps towards the man, his eyes wide--before they slows, tightening his grip around the bundle as he glances over at the man.]

In a word, no. I cannot tell you why for I do not know myself, but I will discover the reason for this disturbance before the hour is done.

it's okay! ^^

[beagoodman]

[He nods slowly at the other, showing he understood.]

Is there something I can help you with? These areas don't seem to be safe, especially when you're alone. [He says, motioning around.]

[behisequal]

[He looks around as well.] I have heard much in recent days--and none of it pleasant. If you wish to accompany me, then do. Just be aware I cannot guarantee your absolute safety should we come under attack.

[Though he is merely heading for the library, so he doesn't anticipate too much trouble there--but one can never be too careful.]

[beagoodman]

It's fine, I can take care of myself. I'm just trying to help, and in my opinion two is better than one.

[At least something he could do before he goes completely mad. That, and he doesn't like to see others getting hurt by some invisible force.]

[behisequal]

Then come.

[With that, he's off. The thought of the strange box is still putting him on edge. Now that he's had a moment to calm down--running into this stranger has had its advantages to clear one's head--he's realising there is something familiar about it.]

What have you observed about this place?
