Miki woke with a start clutching at her bat and looking all around her as she bolted from her bed. After realizing that she was safe the next thing she became aware of was how tight her skin felt on her own body.  It was only after seeing her reflection that she understood why she felt as she did; the blood on her body had dried to a crust. Her hair was nearly as hard a crash helmet and her school uniform stiff.

She decided that a bath was in order and when she approached the door to the one in her room she could hear that she'd been beaten to the shower. Sighing she turned to the door leading out of her room and walked out into the hall checking first to see it was secure. Satisfied that their were no horrors she walked to the next door and took the card key she'd lifted from the hotel security man's pocket and was pleased when it's lock flashed green then opened.

Miki checked before entering and found the door was partly blocked by what appeared to be the maid's cart. Carefully without calling out which might attract attention she entered the room. It didn't take long to find out what happened to the maid nor all that long to dispatch the horror that had killed her. After quickly crushing the skull of the shambling creature that must have once been the occupant Miki looked the room over. She found it was now empty of all except herself and then turned to the maid's cart checking out it's contents.

There were boxes of soap, the little kind they left in hotel baths along with shampoos, conditioner and body wash. Cleaning products, towels, wash clothes, bath robes, slippers, trash bags, tissue paper and various other products you expected to be used to refresh a room. None of the things on the cart were critical to survival but they were useful to morale..

After accessing the supplies on the cart Miki searched the rest of the room and was mildly annoyed that the woman who they belonged to was obviously one who enjoyed dressing provocatively. In some ways it was lucky because she was two sizes larger than Miki but her clothes chosen to fit tightly might be actually just a little loose fitting. 

Gathering up some clean clothes, towels and soaps she went into the bath and placed them on the sink counter. Then as an after thought took a magic marker and wrote[H2] "IN HERE BATHING MIKI" [/H2] on a sheet and drapped it over the outside of the door and closed it.

Once inside Miki stripped and filled a sink with water and shampoo and ducked her underware in it to soak. She hung both guns in their holsters in the shower stall from the grab rails then she propped her bat in the corner near the shower door in case a horror or sicko interrupted her Then that done she turned on the shower selecting a temp. as hot as she could stand and climbed in and allowed the water to cascade over her.

She didn't dare close her eyes and actually relax and kept facing the door in case so she'd be ready to fight. She did glance down at her feet and was shocked to see the water swirling down the drain was bloody red like the water in some horror flick and it made her giggle. She laughed as release of a storm of conflicting emotions.
