Actually they'd be in Hospice Care. basically where you go when you have no hope of recovery and they just try to make you comfortable.
[X] Miss a few nights of sleep. You don't have anything important scheduled this weekened. So you can take the time to rest.
[X] Check for local hospices. Look for someone who just seems to be a bit too nice.

So, wait are we not looking during school days in the afternoon?
You really lack the time. Astral has a lot of things on his plate.

*sigh* Don't people realize that the freaking Divine Task is what gives the quest in the first place and the hint we got is all the hint we are getting?
@Lost Star please clarify this point. Is it possible to get more hints via Divine Task or not?

[X] The weak and the dying? In the shadows? Hospitals and nursing homes are all brightly lit in general. But the alleys full of homeless aren't. Look in the back alleys and poor places, even slum housing. That's a lot of territory - but maybe the homeless have heard some rumors?

Depending on if it leaves traces when it kills it could be sitting in a old folks home draining old people and get by for years or go to homeless shelters follow them to their sleeping places then drain them in their sleep, also i am very much enjoying this Quest start even just the clue reminds me of Mid season Angel episodes where they had random cases, they always seemed to be the best episodes.

Go to school, that generally helps.

Um, I think it might not be a very good idea to exhaust ourselves by missing too many nights of sleep while training for a bodybuilding competition...
[X] Miss hours of sleep on odd days . Sure, it'll half the number of nights we're out looking, but at the same time we're not going to be exhausted by the end of the week.

You have to consult a map and a phone book of the area before you have what could be a possible place to look. There are several clinics and other shelters that could be possible, and one major hospital. Faith's the one that directs you to that once you rope her in. In her words, it's the biggest place, and can probably the busiest since it caters to your neighborhood. A few people dead in a place like that wouldn't be overlooked since the place is practically overwhelmed.
It's a calculation that you can't dispute in the end. So after looking it up, and scoping it out one night, you both finally enter it on Wednesday.
The hospital is quiet at night you notice. Faith's been here before, so the girl knows a few quieter areas to enter from. This makes it possible for you both to slip in without awkward explanations as to your purpose here. The big thing's going to be looking for your target in general. You lack an appearance to go off of, and even worse, lack any serious information aside from what your quest has given you.
"So, weak and dying right?" Faith asks as she starts to saunter through the halls.
"That's right." You mutter, and glance for guards, or perhaps hints of the demon.
"Hey, quit hunching. Walk normally." The girl mutters and walks purposfully forward. "We're supposed to be here. Visiting my little cousin. He's terminally ill."
The flagrant lie doesn't particularly sit well with you, but you lack other options, so you straighten and follow. "One way of doing it I suppose." You mutter.
"Had a few groupies that ODed and came here." Faith shrugs. "I know a bit of the lingo. We need to get to the critical care ward. There shouldn't be many people in the back halls, so just walk normally."
"All right." You follow the girl.
The place is a bit creepy honestly. It's a big hospital. Lot of beds and beeping. Not many people actually walking around either, though you catch glimpses of people sleeping through the open doors. Faith knows where to go at least, and you're at the critical care ward quickly.
There, there are a few nurses, but they are at the desk up front. So long as you're in the halls and don't make noise you should be fine.
"So what next?" Faith asks and looks at you.
You grit your teeth. You have no idea really. You glance at the people lying in the beds. More than a few of them are bandaged and you catch a hint of blood on one or two of them from something. One man's hooked up to an IV, and starting to thrash some. In the midst of a nightmare you assume.
Your attention is drawn to something else though. A man lying nearly still. An IV is hooked up to him, and you see a machine to the side as well. You assume it's monitoring his heartbeat. The beep is steady and slow. There's nothing to indicate that anything's wrong. Yet some part of you is rivited to him. It's like you can tell that something's wrong.
"Hammer-man?" Faith's voice makes you glance at her, and back at the man.
"Something's wrong." You mutter and look over the man. You can't tell what, but as you look, you can almost taste the fear.
You hear a click, and turn to Faith with wide eyes. She's got the crossbow cocked and a bolt in it. Before you can say anything she lets it lose. The bolt flys through the air, and disappears in midair.
Something moves, and reflexively you manifest and swing out your hammer in one smooth move. Something brushes by your face, and you stagger back. A hint of blood drips down your cheek and you immediately press at it. Something gouged you as it ran by.
You disregard it as you turn down the hallway. The demon is fleeing. You can't see or hear it, but you can see drops of blood on the pristine floor.
"Shit, you didn't say it was some boogeyman." Faith mutters and gives you a look. "Suit up and follow?"
"Yes." You state flatly, and your armor forms in a flash of light.
You start to pound down after the blood trail. It moves further back down the halls. You'd say it's a miracle you didn't interrupt anyone, but there is something about this creature. You can't see it, but it's like there is a sort of malaise in the air as it moves. A feeling of something not quite right.
The blood trail stops at a closed door, and you pull it open without hesitation. A few steps bring you into dark area with pipes and a few small hanging lights. Faith comes in after you, and the door clicks shut as you slowly move in. The bolt's on the ground in the center of the room, and you take the time to glance around.
This looks like the room that contains most of the water and heat piping for the rest of the hospital. Hiding spots all over the place. And worse, your opponent is invisible. You look around with cold eyes and ready yourself.

So we didn't already have our armour on and Faith (presumably) knows who we are?
When did I miss that?

I will roll.
Edit:That sucks.
Edit:That sucks.
It's each individual person that posts gets a roll.
I like this idea - maybe specify she just sprays at random everywhere so we can find out where the damned thing is?
(Also, would you and @igfry like to roll?
Same goes to you, @aceraptor )
...Unless our supernatural senses would help us out here?
Would they, @Lost Star ?

Check the near the reply function of one of your own posts. There should be something that says "Roll Dice." Set the faces to 100, title it, and roll.
Like that!
You roll awesome like that.
