April 16th (Evening)

[gochuugoku]

[China steps off the ship, warily looking around the dark surroundings. He shakes his head.]

I don't like the looks of this.

[ramenkage]

It's seen better days, that's for sure. [ Stepping off after him, hands behind his head. He's pretty unconcerned, really. The place is deserted, what could possibly go wrong? ]

[gochuugoku]

I wonder if there's any place on this planet where there are populated cities, aru.

[ramenkage]

Tch, I hope the hell not. It'd be pretty depressing to think everywhere is like this.

[gochuugoku]

Perhaps it would be wise if we all took turns keeping watch. You know, whoever is keeping watch switches with some one else after an hour or so maybe?

[ramenkage]

Probably a good idea. I mean, there are probably some monsters running around.

[gochuugoku]

I volunteer to watch first then, I can't really sleep now anyway. [The aura the place was giving off made him restless.]

[ramenkage]

[ nods. ] I'll take the watch after you, then.

[gochuugoku]

[He also nods.

Now... timeskip to when they do switch. China is sitting cross legged, looking bored but alert.]

[ramenkage]

[ Naruto approaches, stretching. He stops about a foot away, looking around the area slowly. ]

Anything happen?

[loyal_cube]

[Cube's heart echos that statement.]

Perhaps it's simply because it's darker outside...

[One can only hope]

[gochuugoku]

If this place is anything like Discedo, then there most likely monsters roaming in this area, aru.

[But that's why he brought his twin hook swords and firearms with him. Good thing he got his chip out before coming here too. But even with all that, he doesn't feel comfortable.]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube also has firearms, but he can't use them very well. Still, he steps along behind China, looking around with worry written all over him.]

Yes, but I wonder what sorts... or how big.

[He personally was hoping for no undead.]

I hope my magic will work on them, if we do come across any.

[Did I mention he forgets he has a rifle strapped to his back most the time?]

[gochuugoku]

[He shrugs slightly.]

I suppose we will not know until we find them, or vice versa. In the meantime, we should start setting things up.

I've already agreed to take the first watch and someone has volunteered to take the shift after mine.

[loyal_cube]

I'll assist.

I would not mind taking watch as well, should you need it. Nighttime is probably best, since Flandre-chan is awake during that time. Ah, but any time is fine.

[He wouldn't wish to make things complicated.]

[gochuugoku]

I would appreciate that, aru. Yes, I would imagine so. [Since he does know that Flandre's a vampire. She was the one who told him.]

Which reminds me, how were you after the whole thunder scare she had awhile back? You passed out and she did have a strong grip on you, I was a bit worried.

[dewebbed]

You're telling me. [ Jack stands nearby, looking around in the same way. But he's not as worried. ] At least we might be able to find something useful!

[gochuugoku]

Maybe. If this city hasn't been robbed bone dry yet. It's not safe to go now, though.

[He kicks a nearby pebble.] I wonder if it would be wise to build a fire, aru. We want to keep warm, but I don't want the smoke to give away our location to the monsters, or whatever may be out there.

[Not that he's scared, he's just talking common sense.]

[dewebbed]

Yeah, you're right. There's no use not checking for something, though! Maybe it's safe in the houses. [ man when was the last time he was in a cozy little cottage? not even just before he came here, considering he was at the court. ]

[gochuugoku]

If a monster hasn't made any of them into a den yet, then yes.

[dewebbed]

Hmm. [ he would really love to sleep in a house but China has a point ] Do we have any weapons? Even like a piece of wood or something.

[gochuugoku]

I happen to be carrying them on my back, along with my firearms at my belt.

[Yep, and he says it in a deadpan tone while he turns to show histwin hook swords.]

[dewebbed]

Whoa. [ man look at those things ] I wasn't thinking of anything that fancy.

[gochuugoku]

[He chuckles.]

I am a soldier, so of course I was planning on traveling armed. And... your name is Jack, right? I believe we have spoken to one another a few times before, aru.

[dewebbed]

Yeah, that's me! I've never seen a soldier use something like that before. But it doesn't really matter if we're from different worlds.
