paper_cranes: (so I can look at you)

Ivan was a little petrified. Being the nerd that he was and a busybody, his sleep schedule tended to revolve around his favorite programs, his bloggers, and his job, so he wasn't tired in the least. Most of that amounted to bedtime at three in the morning, give or take... But he had a feeling it'd be sunrise before he actually felt safe enough to sleep. That was the problem with this night: being here, he didn't feel safe.

After all, he still wasn't sure why he was in this hotel. Key in his pocket, without his call band working and with no way to contact the other heroes, he pretty much felt trapped in some spooky J-horror video game. And it was always the middle of the night when something tried to kill you in your sleep. So he decided to play it safe and just stay away from his window and bathroom, just in case something decided to say hello from the mirror.

Of course, the hallway wasn't a safer bet either, but he figured he should get to know his surroundings. He doubted he was the only one still up, but he figured he'd at least run into concierge or someone from housekeeping working their way through the hotel. Or at least he'd find a quiet place to sit around until he actually felt a little sleepier than frightened. But, knowing his luck, he had a feeling he'd run into something horrifying sooner or later. He just had to wait for it... or walk into it, or have it materialize through the wall in front of him...

Okay, that was it. He was avoiding staircases and sticking to the second floor for a while.
