SDM< Gensokyo; Komachi "All right. All who wish to join, hop on and prepare to die!"
I hopped aboard my boat last.
"Let's go! To Hakugyokurou!"
The boat took off in a mist.
"Okay, we are all on the trail to Hakugyokurou. But know this: you may feel dead now, but when you get to Hakugyokurou, you will be in a purgatory state. In other words, Hank, when you get there, what you'll be feeling will be what you would when you stay dead. Then, you can tell me if you want to stay dead or not."
"You know, Spartans are trained to try and avoid death, even to the point of willing ourselves to stay alive after serious injuries. And here I am, a Spartan, going headlong into death.", John said in a somewhat lighthearted tone.
Honolulu, Hawaii
"You freaked me out!"
Ha ha. Sorry about that. I was going to ask you and Zero if you guys wanted to go explore the city, maybe go to a restaurant or just wander around."
Zero had explored the island and after 30 minutes of walking he found a small cliff looking over the ocean away from the busy hustle and bustle that is the hotel, and beach. Zero walks up to the edge of the cliff and sits down. Looking over the ocean seems to calm him, but yet it also seems to be haunting a bit. He looks up at the sky and begins thinking of the time he was on Final Weapon and fought Iris.
"Iris... I'm sorry..." He thought as he continues to watch the clouds. All of a sudden he felt a familiar hand touch his shoulder. Quickly he turns around only for... nothing to be there. This just makes Zero feel worse about himself.
Honolulu, Hawaii "Zero? I don't know. He said he was going out for a walk-" "And out for a walk it shall be!" Lt. Trlawnet appeared behind Isaac, dressed in a stereotypucal Hawaiian shirt and beige shorts. "Huh? Are we going somewhere?" Nitori asked. "It's 6:30 you dummy! We gotta go out and eat dinner!"
Dante has been swimming at the beach for god knows how long. He decides that he has had enough, so he quickly shoots out of the water and begins making his way to where his beach towel is. Looking at the sun he notices that it is beginning to set. "How long have I been out here?" He said as he picks up his towel, and coat. "Good thing no one touched my stuff. If they did then I would have busted some heads." He said as he tossed his coat over his shoulder. He begins to head to his hotel room to get dressed into dryer clothes.
Do you really think I'm that stupid? *Walks into a door* Okay maybe I am that stupid...
Honolulu, Hawaii "Oh please." Lt. Trelawney guffawed. "Okay, who wants what for dinner? I'm thinking traditional Hawaiian food." "I'm okay with anything." Nitori smiled.
Somewhere Hank was seemingly unphased, simply polishing his blade, ignoring Komachi's words.
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.
