2nd - Action

[knowsvinewhip]

[Well, look who's finally up and around! Seeing as his injuries were no longer threatening his very existence, Hakkai was allowed to find his artichoke.

... Unfortunately, he's still having difficulty working the communicator, and, as such, is wandering about the temple grounds. The most technology he'd ever used was Jeep -- or the Gold Card, in the rare instances it left Sanzo's possession. His capybara is trailing at his heels, pausing when he does.]


My... this is a bit more difficult to figure out than I'd thought...

[He glances down at the animal, smiling faintly.]

You would think our gracious hosts would include a tutorial, hm?

[On that note, he resumes his search, limping slightly, but determined nonetheless!]

Perhaps it's a litmus test.

[There are few deserts so dry as her tone right now, Hakkai.]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

[He looks up, still smiling, and laughs - somehow, he makes it sound dry as well.]

Well then! If that's the case, perhaps I should be returned home, for failing their initial assessment.

[catherine-b320.livejournal.com]

[She just rolls her eyes.]

Would that that were the case, some three-quarters of these people would be going home.

[She's perched on something rocky in nature, all the better to survey her surroundings, and has one of the guns she's acquired for herself in pieces. Spartan protocol. Downtime either exists to do more PT runs or clean equipment!]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Ah... you've got a point there.

[He tilts his head slightly - the gun doesn't give him much pause. Firearms are nothing new, and certainly no surprise when one travels in Sanzo's company.]

I don't suppose you could take pity on a failed student of this place, and direct me to the housing?

[catherine-b320.livejournal.com]

[She feeds the recoil spring back down into it's guide, slips the catch in place to hold it, and clicks the slide, complete with barrel, springs, et al, back against the frame before glancing up at him again.]

Over there.

[This is accompanied by a directional gesture towards the yonder housing units]

Giant green pods. Hard to miss. There's a bronze panel on the side of them - the communicator they assigned you will open it.

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

[He follows the gesture, blinks, and then laughs.]

Oh, my. It appears I've gone blind. Those are rather difficult to miss, aren't they?

[catherine-b320.livejournal.com]

More difficult to recognize them as apartments, I think.

[It's like living in a goddamned drop pod. Not her favourite thing ever.]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm. At least I don't feel quite so bad about mistaking them for something else entirely.

[He shrugs, folding his arms, apparently unfazed by this strangeness.]

Thank you for the assistance, ah...?

[catherine-b320.livejournal.com]

Noble Two.

[She sights down the handgun and, seemly satisfied, snaps it to the magnetic strip along the thigh of her armour.]

And yourself?

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

A pleasure.

[He inclines his head slightly to her - something like a bow, in a way.]

Hakkai, if you please.
