Yakumo Estate - Gensokyo
The house was pretty much empty: with an exception of a small orange cat perched on the roof. The cat stared at John with a fierce look, identified him as part of the Yakumo family, and ran off to the backyard.

"Thanks ma'am!"
"Yeah. I'll send you the receipt in the mail."
Vi sent her last customer away before flipping the sign on the window from open to closed. Before turning off the light, Vi looked at her reflection through a small mirror and sighed. Vi was a tomboyish lady: with half-shaved pink hair, purple eyes with the word VI tattooed across the bottom of her right eye, and broad shoulders that resembled a boxer's. Recently however, her proud shoulders were slumpy, due to the fatigue she received in this world.
What is this world? When Vi jumped into the artificial worm-hole to chase Jinx, a notorious criminal bent on destruction and havoc, she appeared near what was called Pier 37, a military port turned into a tourist attraction. Suspecting that Jinx is nearby, Vi works as an auto-mechanic by day and searches for Jinx by chasing criminals by night. However, after a month of searching, Vi couldn't even find a sliver of blue hair.
"I think I'll take a break from crimebusting today..." Vi mumbled as she turned off the shop's light, hopped onto her pink-and-black motorcycle and rode out into the dusk-filled streets of San Francisco.

"What in the-.." He says before he gets knocked over by the headbutt as the glass on his helmet had cracked.
He looks at the assaulters and gets up as he rubs the helmet. "This might prove a bit difficult." He looks around, thinking hastely. "Two shots left and there's enemies to both side." He then sighs and shot one of the abominations towards the face and stood ready like a football player ready to charge.

John knew about the cats Chen took care of, so instead of being curious, he simply shrugged it off. John remembered one of the first times he came by, the cats were hostile towards him, more so than any cat John had ever encountered. They would follow him around the area, hissing at him and giving him menacing glares. Now that four months had passed, they had accepted him as a part of the family. After ending his train of thought, John walked inside.
"I'm back from an errand.", John said as he entered the house with the Electrocannon over his shoulder.
It seemed as if everyone was absent, so John walked further into the house and to Yukari and his room. Once inside, John opened up a Corridor of Darkness and hid the Electrocannon deep within the Realm of Darkness, where not even the Heartless or Nobodies would be able to find it. Once the gun was well hidden, John went to the bathroom and took a shower.
After a couple of minutes, John left the bathroom and got himself dressed in "civilian clothes." John didn't find normal clothes to be as comfortable as his underarmor, but he was no longer a soldier, at least not a soldier by nature anymore. Ever since Yukari and John got married, many things about him changed. For example, some of Yukari's traits rubbed off on him. John was a little more relaxed than he used to be, a little less reluctant to make jokes, and actually developed a playful side. Of course, he would only show these traits to Yukari, Ran, and Chen. He was still a Spartan-II, and as such, he had a reputation to keep.
After dressing in an olive green t-shirt, blue denim pants, and black hiking boots, John left Yukari and his bedroom.

Research Laboratory - The Castle That Never Was
As Cole and Flandre began to attack the Creepers 7 of them were knocked out. Two of them turned into sword and began swinging at Cole and Flandre, two of them tuned into spears and appeared over Flandre and Cole and flew down while the last one expanded it's legs and kicked Cole with them. One of the berserkers also began swinging it's hammers. To it the hammer was a light as a feather so it had no problems whatsoever. In the meantime there also arrived more nobodies. 20 new Creepers, 12 new Dusks, 8 new snipers and 4 new berserkers. In addition to that there also came a few new nobodies, 8 Assassins hiding under the floor.

Yakumo Estate - Mayohiga - Gensokyo | Dawn
After pacing around the house for a couple minutes, John began to slowly become bored. He used to be fine with boredom, but now that his life had become so eventful, the feeling felt almost unfamiliar to him. After a couple more minutes, John decided to take a walk in the woods to the north of Mayohiga, along the outskirts of Gensokyo. He wasn't planning on being gone for very long, just until Yukari, Ran, and Chen came back home. After turning out all the lights in the house, John left the house and closed the door behind him.
Woods - Outskirts of Gensokyo | Dawn
It was almost noon when John arrived in the woods he would sometimes explore and hike around in. The area was overgrown and teeming with plant life, save for a few barely visible dirt trails. It was no wonder people would accidentally wander into Gensokyo. The only reason John would not get lost was because he familiarized himself with the forest along with the fact that he had been trained to thrive in any environment, including dense forests.
The the sounds of the forest always left John feeling at peace, something he rarely felt. The sounds of birds chirping and of the wind blowing through the trees were music to his ears, while the fresh air left him feeling refreshed. John continued down the barely visible dirt path, appreciating the sights and sounds of the forest.

Lujuria held on tight.
"So... What did wrath tell you? 'Give her up or die?' 'Lay a hand on her and you'll get torn to sheds?'"

The abomination took the bullet to the head, staggering it. But other than the stagger, it didn't seem to mind all that much, and charged again, with extra ferocity, as did the others.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

John heard a faint crackling noise behind him, so he decided to investigate. John turned around, and his eyes widened while his jaw clenched tight. A fireball was mere inches away from his head and was obviously meant for him. Reacting with the reflexes no normal human could possess, John jerked his head and upper back to the right, just barely dodging the fireball. John could feel the intense heat coming off the flying ball of fire as it came mere inches from his cheek.
As soon as the fireball passed, John looked in the direction of the fireball, got into a wide combat stance, and formed Light and Darkness in his hands.
"Who's out there!?", John shouted out, ready for a possible surprise attack.

"Well... not exactly...", Isaac said to Lujuria via the snake around his neck.
"He was surprisingly friendly towards me.", Isaac said as he continued to fly through the sky.

Woods - Outskirts of Gensokyo
From behind the trees, a girl with purple hair and a nekomimi headband appeared. The girl was peculiar: even to the standards of John. The girl looked about 16, but her face and her physique looked to be in the early 20s. She wore a short purple dress that exposed her thighs and a pink-and-white striped thighhighs. She was holding a worn-out teddy bear on her hand.
"Who are you?" The girl asked with frightened but confident voice. Her voice sounded innocent. "Where am I?"
