BUSHIN :: Main Page (Accepting & Open)

Amy nods, she didn't seem like she wanted to talk, whatever was distracting her from entering the teleportation room earlier probably has something to do with it.

Another flash of light appeared and the trio were suddenly transported into the bedroom of a studio apartment that served as one of S.A.F.E.U's safehouses. The room was empty, but packed full of extra supplies in the cabinets and had a complete armory in some of the closets. On the silken sheets of the bed lay the instructions for their unit that day, including a map of their rounds and areas to investigate.

Blake scampered off to one of the drawers to snatch up some extra flash grenades and a sharpnel filled one.

Amy equipped some armored leggings and took some poison vials from a cabinets as she filled some of her bolts with them and locked them together in a cartridge, so it can be easy for her to shoot multiple as the same time. She also dipped a few of her knives in them before sheathing them and washing her hands so none of the chemicals remained, as well as places as a razored ring in case she had to use her Arcane ability.

Kurt went over to a crate and picked up his katana, Honto Masamune. "Ahh, my baby's back!" He exclaimed as he unsheathed his sword, inspecting the edge. He nodded, finding it satisfactory and re-sheathed it. He slid the sheath blade up into one of his belt loops and asked the team, "Alright, everyone ready?"

Amy nods as he put her crossbow in her back. Seemingly all geared up for whatever happens.

A grin spread onto his face at Kurt's words. "All ready to go!" As he said this, Blake gave his knives a twirl for a good measure before sheathing them soundlessly on his hips. His grenades were tucked away safely on his personal and extra medical equipment hung loosely from his shoulder in a disguised knapsack. "So what's the plan, Kurt? We splittin' up again for the mission?"

(Taking off early tonight, so I'll reply tomorrow morning)

Despite the two threats, he seems relatively calm. As he closed his eyes, his left hand swiftly touch Isabella's gun and the same with his right on Jin's spear. Immediately his eyes turned bright red as he slowly opened them. Images of dead S.A.F.E.U began to flash through his mind. It all happened in just a few seconds. "I want my ramune you took."

Isabelle's intense look darkened at the sight of his eyes glowing red. She was right to follow her gut feeling and the grip on her gun tightened. "Kid, I thought I told you already. Quit your blabbering before I-" The African American woman suddenly paused. In the morning sunlight, her eye had caught the reflection of a clear bottle with a suspended bead inside the grocery bag hanging on her arm.

She gave a quick glare at the boy and another push of her gun's muzzle before rummaging through the bag. Pulling out the bottle from the bag, she held it up to inspect it. Lo and behold, the letters "RAMUNE" were stamped all over the bottle's label in bright colors. In the sunlight, the liquid inside looked clear and blue, just like water. "...Is this what you're looking for, kid?" She asked, dangling the bottle in front of him. "It's just expensive water, no big deal."

The moment Isabella said 'expensive water,' his face expression was that of the 'face of disapproval (ಠ_ಠ).' With a small sigh, he responded. "It isn't expensive water. It's a carbonated soft drink. You took the one I get everyday...baka" His eyes began to turn back to the normal light brown color.

"I apologize for the misunderstanding sir," Jin said as he did a slight bow. "We shall return this to you immediately, isn't that right, Miss Isabelle?" Jin slung his spear over his back and handed the ramune to him.

"So it ain't bottled water then... Very funny Japan," Isabelle muttered before sheathing her gun into the holster. "Sorry for the hostilities, kid. You'd best be on your way, now that you have your 'ramen', right?"

((OOC: Isabelle sometimes has a thick accent when pronouncing foreign words, so between "ramen" and "ramune", it sounds the same to her))

Kurt nodded at Blake's suggestion of splitting up, "We'll cover more ground that way," he said. "If any of us get into trouble, report in and the others of the team will come to help," He paused to think of more things to say, but couldn't think of anything. He inhaled sharply, then said, "Let's go!"

Immediately Lass snatched the ramune from Jin's hand and starts opening it. To Jin and Isabella's surprise, the soda pops and begins to fuzz all over Lass's right hand. After taking a big gulp, he then stuffed a $5 bill into Jin's hand for the ramune. Swiftly he turns around and begins walking the other way. After a few steps he forgot to do something. He could hear the echos of his guardian yelling at him for improper manners. Slowly he turned around and bowed. "Thank you." Soon after he begins walking the opposite direction again.

Amy nods before going west of the place they where before, in the area were shops numerous with Asian languages Japanese , Vietnamese, Chinese, the list goes on and on. She cautiously looks around, looking in alley and some of the shops.

Kurt went south of the start point, eventually ending up in a lower class, thug infested part of the city. He walked through the streets and the numerous bars and repair shops scattered about the place. Kurt went into a run down coffee shop, hoping to get a good cup of Joe.

In the meanwhile, Blake had hopped off the railing of the studio apartment window and meandered his way through the crowded streets of New York City. Urban posts flashed neon signs and people quickly passed him along the crowded intersections. Brand name stores flooded into view but he wasn't interested in shopping or eating at the moment. "I wish I could cut someone up now..." He thought to himself as the he stood within a large group of people ready to cross to the other side. The stoplight turned red and the white symbol for walk appeared on the holographic boards. "Too bad I'm on duty though~"

Amy then proceeded to walking into a Japanese store, and bought some pocky because she wanted a snack, she got the last one on an near empty shelf.

As she watched his fleeting back on the corner, another scowl crossed her face. This time though, it was of worry. "Do you think he's one of S.A.F.E.U.'s lackeys? The way how his eyes glows bothers me..." Isabelle's voice trailed off when she suddenly saw an undesirable opponent walk into the Japanese store they had just exited from.

Amy walked out with a bag in her hands as she took notced of the two, she thought they looked a bit conspicuous with their weaponry.

"Miss Isabelle, keep walking and don't look back." Jin said sternly, still keeping his respectful tone. Jin then engaged in a fake conversation with Isabelle about something ridiculous in a less polite tone. "This place is really big right? I've been waiting to come to the New York for ages! Can't believe I'm finally here though!"

Kurt had gotten his coffee and was waking on the street when he ran into to something really solid. He looked up and saw a large muscular man. "Watch where you're going man!" Kurt shouted, his coffee spilled all over the place, but not on himself.

"Huh?" The man snarled, clearly angry. "You wanna say that again pipsqueak?"

Kurt chuckled softly, then stated, "Yeah, I'll say it again, and I'll get away with it too. Since. I'm. An. Arcane."
Kurt's emphasis on the last sentence drove the proverbial nail in the coffin for the big man, who ran away tail between his legs, not wanting to deal with S.A.F.E.U. Kurt groaned in distaste and headed towards the west part of the city, feeling the need to get out of the gang territory.

Her grimace dissolved into a fake smile at Jin's change of topics. "I know right! But... I just hope we don't get lost here though. There's too many streets and alleyways that I can't tell what's what anymore!" Isabelle stuck out her bottom lip to mimic a pout.

In the meantime, Blake had settled down to people watching instead of actual patrolling in hopes of spotting a stray Arcane in the crowd. He crouched near the steps of the city hall, a newly bought cotton candy bag in his hands. Bored out of his mind, the former psychopath began twiddling with the cotton candy between his fingers.

She then turned on her tracker showing herself as a point on the SAFEU Gps. She followed them, she took out one of her knives.

Jin looked around as if he were trying to find a sign or a person to ask for directions. "Excuse me~" His call directed at Amy. "Could you you help us? I'm trying to find a dojo that someone asked me to do a presentation at?" Silently, he prayed that the girl wouldn't see through his fake act.
