Realistic or Modern Hop around the world

[NickOnTheReg]

Satsuki moved his eyes quietly to Senna and felt a wave guilt flood over him. He sighed and shot a glance to Makoto before the male got on his feet and walked past his friend. "Excuse me." He said while trying to get past the other passengers. Until Shishio eventually reached Senna. He spotted the tear on her cheek and another wave of guilt filled his mind. Silently he placed himself standing before the girl, his hands crossed over his chest. Before she even had a chance to ask a question or even notice him, Satsuki bend over and wrapped his arms around her, tilting her from the lonely seat. "No one travels alone." He stated while making his way back past the passengers until he finally reached his own seat. He carefully dropped her on the seat next to Makoto's and loosened her grip around her. "Sorry." Satsuki said, while there formed a smile on the male's lips, seating himself against the girl.

Senna was in her own world when she felt a presence around her. She didn't even have time to look before she heard Satsuki's voice and next thing you know she was being carried. "Satsuki." she said as she blushed a bit. She's been carried a lot lately. Once he sat her down next to Makoto again she looked up at him. "Gomen, Satsuki." she said quietly and looked back down. Senna was more mad at herself for letting it get out of hand.

 

[Koyne]

Makoto shifted his gaze towards Yoshi, listening to his speech. Everything the male stated was completely true, there really wasn't any need for this, just like he said, it was only their third day on this trip, after all. But before he was able to comment on it, Senna stood up from her seat, apologized and sat herself away from the group. "Senna..." The boy said softly, as a response to what he just witnessed, an obvious frown washing away the previous expression he had going on. Makoto felt bad, he felt bad for both Senna, and Satsuki, he knew that both of them were going to feel guilty about their actions, and even though Shishio did indeed overreact, the boy still didn't like it. But right before he was able to say something along the lines of 'Don't beat yourself up about it' or maybe head over to Senna himself, the male next to him did exactly that. The look on his face changed once again, as he watched Satsuki carry the girl back and onto his previous seat, now displaying a smile. You're a good guy, Shishio. Makoto thought while giving said person the smile he had as expression accompanied by a thumbs up.

Yoshi


Yoshi watched as Satsuki brought Senna back over to the group. It was a nice gesture, not sure he would have physically carried the girl but it seemed to have worked. "Now I know we are all probably tired as well, so how about when we get into Kyoto, I'll make a call and we can all stay in a hotel. My treat! Some proper rest and relaxation, plus proper washing seems like it'll help the spirits of the group." he said with a smile. "We can do two rooms, one for the girls and one for us guys." @Hobbesisalive @BobbyW @Spotine


Senna


Senna looked at Makoto and tried to half smile. "Gomen, Koto-kun." she said before turning back towards the window. Her music was interrupted by Yoshi, who offered to pay for hotel for everyone. Senna liked the idea, she needed a good long shower and a proper bed to lay in for the night. "I'm all for that idea." she said, with a grin trying to cheer herself up. "I, I can put money in if you need it."

 

[Spotine]

Hali watched Satsuki get up and carry Senna back over to the group. She would've gone and talked to Senna, but carrying her back seemed like a better idea. Hali then looked over at Yoshi, who volunteered to pay for a hotel room. "Really? Thank you very much hat would be great." She said, smiling widely. Then Senna offered to pay for some of the expense. "Yes I could too. I could pay for the girl's room possibly." Hali offered.

Yoshi


Yoshi shook his head at the girls' offer. "No, no no no no. I got this, don't you worry." he said with a smile. "If you want extras like spa treatment or extra food, then you're on your own, but the rooms themselves I got covered." he said. "We can spend an extra day in Kyoto if needed since there is a lot of history to be seen."


Senna


Senna nodded. "Haiii," she managed to get out. Hopefully things will come down tomorrow she thought and everyone can just enjoy the city and countryside that Kyoto had to offer.

 

[Koyne]

Makoto enjoyed the idea of spending the night in a hotel, instead of camping like they did in Tokyo. A yawn managed to escape his lips; it seemed like all of the drama just now managed to kinda drain him out, although he wasn't going to take a nap in the train anymore, considering they'd arrive at Kyoto any minute. It's nice seeing everyone at high spirit again. Makoto leaned back in his seat, and started browsing through his phone again. He decided to just relax until they'd eventually arrive.

 

[Spotine]

"If you say so." Hali said to Yoshi. She leaned back in her seat and once again propped her legs up on the seat in front of her. Hali yawned. "Stupid Jet Lag." She thought to herself as she waited to arrive in Kyoto.

Yoshi


Yoshi nodded. "Then it's settled." He said as he grabbed his phone and made a phone call. He father had connections and he made sure to use them. "Yeah, I need two rooms, two queen beds each." He said over the phone. "Top floor." Yoshi added. He hung up the phone and waited for his father to call him back. A few moments went by and the phone went off. "Yeah, okay, how much? Done thanks." After he hung up again he looked at everyone. "Rooms are booked, I'll pay for them once we get there." @Hobbesisalive @BobbyW @Spotine

 

[Hobbesisalive]

Ioko listened with a sheepish expression on her face and nodded here and there. She liked the idea, and she wasn't planning to pay anything so she just held her mouth shut, wondering why you would offer to pay some money if Yoshi had already said that he got it covered.


@Everyone


Satsuki grinned and listened to the idea of Yoshi putting his thumbs up. "Sounds nice! But we can't do this too often or else we won't get used to the sleeping in a tent. I mean...this is just the beginning of a looooong loooong trip." The male scratched himself behind the ear and looked outside the window. "Looks like we are almost there, just a little bit." A grin touched his lips as he spoke and the male got his backpack ready. "I can already feel the warm water." @Everyone


OOC - Sorry I am just sooo busy guys! So my post are a little bit slow and short,...but oh well ^^

Archer leaned back in his seat at the lounge area of the hotel bar, brow furrowed as he took another sip of his virgin mojito. He hadn't touched alcohol. Not since that dreadful day two months ago after his surfing competition. Archer pulled at his face with his left hand and leaned back in the chair, eyes peeping through the gaps between his fingers to see his walking stick resting against the arm chair. He couldn't seem to get his mind off it. He'd gone travelling to get away from Miami, to get away from the chaos. To get away from his life. "Damn it." Archer muttered as he finished the last of his drink and rose from his seat, hands holding the arms of the chair for support as he left hand reached out for his walking stick. He limped away from his seat, down the stairs and to the lounge. It was hilarious how he was living in one of the most expensive rooms at this hotel yet he'd spent the last few hours not in that magnificent room but the hotel lobby and bar. Even he couldn't understand it. Anyone in his shoes would be enjoying the luxury of that room yet here he was, now sitting in one of the lobby chairs instead.


Archer shook his head as he reached for a newspaper to read and distract himself. He flipped through the pages looking for an interesting article when the words that greeted him on one of the pages sent him fuming as he threw it into the table. "If you can't drive asshole stay out of the bloody car!" He shouted angrily as he glared at the headline. 'Drunk driver kills school girl in fatal crash' His outburst had attracted attention and a staff member came over to him, asking him to keep it down because of the other customers. All Archer could see was red as he shouted at the employee from his seat, rising unsteadily so that he could tower over her. Archer grabbed his walking stick and limped back up the stairs, using more force than necessary for him to walk more stably.

"Alright! Food for the soul! Thank you ma'am!" The tall red-head bowed enthusiastically before taking his seat at the fancy table originally meant for four people. The chairs were soft and comfy, making it a pleasant experience for the man. There was even a bar table in the restaurant in which windows acted as a lookout to see the magnificent, man-made scenery while you eat, but Mikoshiba was only there for the food; screw the scenery. He could be seen stuffing one sushi after another into his mouth, his smile fading not once. One of the people sitting at the table across from him gave a look in disgust, but Mikoshiba didn't really take notice of it, and just smiled happily with puffy cheeks. "Ib's a goob bay ibn't ib?" When he spoke to her, the lady flinched and scoffed before standing up and grabbing her things; soon leaving after her bill was paid. Mikoshiba was struck with confusion upon seeing her reaction, "Did I scare her?" He thought to himself with a furrowed brow. Eventually the man finished up his meal and took a glance at the clock, giving a nod. "I've got time. Excuse me! Can I get a fortune cookie!?" He waved his hand at the woman who had been waiting his table in a goofy fashion, smiling like a twelve year old boy who just won his favorite action figure. Because of his fun-loving personality, Mikoshiba had the waiter laughing the entire time he was there; and because of that, she decided to be generous and bring him three fortune cookies instead of just the one that was asked for. Upon seeing this, Mikoshiba smiled cheerfully and slapped a good 1000 yen down on the table and shot her a thumbs up before picking up his bag and wrapping the strap around his shoulder and allowing it to bounce around on the opposite hip with every taken step. Within five minutes or so, Mikoshiba found himself at Kyoto station, standing oblivious in front of a large sign indicating which trains run next. A small scratch was sent to his forehead, "Uhh~...My train...isn't here?" Turns out he got the time wrong. Originally he was supposed to be here at six, but instead arrived at nine. Upon realizing his mistake, Mikoshiba dropped to his kness and gripped his hair with both hands. "I wrote the six upside down!" His voice was loud, and echoed through the area, causing people to stop in their tracks and stare with amusement, and others just looked at him like an idiot.

@Hello!

Hali leaned back in her chair and listened to music the rest of the way. She suddenly felt the train lurch to a stop. "We're here!" She thought excitedly. Hali stood up and waited for other passengers to leave the train before she got out herself. She took a deep breath of the air. "Ah. I love Japan." Hali thought to herself. She turned around to see if the rest of the group had followed her.

Yoshi


Yoshi felt the train stop and got excited. "We are here!" We should bring our stuff to the hotel rooms first then we can decide what to do from there." he suggested, helping Ioko get her bags. He was really looking forward to the long long shower he was going to take and the big bed he was going to sleep in. "Obviously we won't be making this a habit, but this will help relieve some stress and help us start fresh again." Yoshi added as they exited the train.

Senna


Senna grabbed her backpack and her bag and got off the train with everyone. She took a quick picture of the station and tweeted it, her usual thing. She also adjusted her hair, fixed her skirt and made sure her makeup was alright. "Kyoto." she said with a smile on her face as she wanted to take a bath and just sit in there for hours. She was looking around at everything trying to keep close.

After Seijuro was finished with his one-man comedy stand-up, he drug himself over to the nearest bench and took a seat. Every breath that escaped his lungs was ragged. "Damn...guess I'm staying here until the next train arrives..." A gentle hand brushed through the distinctive red hair that adorned the male's appearance, a sigh escaping in a fit of exhaustion. "Ah..." It was then when Seijuro looked up, raising a brow in confusion, "Where was I going again?" This man is...something else. As he sat there dumbfounded, a train arrived and passengers quickly began unloading, each of them carrying their own luggage. Seijuro just sat there, trying to remember his destination when suddenly a girl with short, fluffy hair stepped off of the train. She didn't look to be Japanese, but she was pretty, so it didn't matter. Within the blink of an eye, Seijuro found himself gripping the two small hands belonging to the girl, and staring down at her with a gentle pink shading his cheeks. "You...you're kind of cute!" If she had been carrying any luggage, it would've probably fallen to the ground as he ran over and took her hands in his own, fawning over her appearance.

Hali stretched and looked around the station. Without notice, a strange man came up to her and grabbed her hands. Her suitcases fell to the ground and she stared at the man knelt before her. He had red hair, which she found kind of cute. Hali's cheeks slowly turned crimson. "Uh... T-thanks?" She said awkwardly as he complimented her looks. She blew a piece of her short, light brown hair out of her face and continued to blush. "Well this is random. I wonder if all people act like this in Japan." Hali wondered silently.

Continuing to stare at the girl with glistening eyes, Seijuro gasped lightly as she blew at her hair, causing him to step back a little, placing a hand over his chest in order to calm himself down. After a split second, he looked back at her, straightening his posture and staring down with a hand on the back of his neck. "My bad!" He spoke loudly for some reason...maybe it's just his personality. Seijuro flinched upon realizing he should introduce himself, stepping back and jutting a hand out towards her, he smiled lightly with the tilt of his head. "I'm!- Ah..." Then, for some reason, his hand retreated into a fist as he then pointed towards himself with a thumb in the middling of his chest, leaning forward with his torso, and back on his heels. "Mikoshiba Seijuro! Nice to meet you...?" He spoke in a tone that said, "What's your name?"

[Spotine]

Hali smiled slightly, a bit flattered at how this man was practically tripping over himself over her. She tilted her head to the side in a flirtatious way and smiled even more. "Nice to meet you! My name is Hali McKaine." She said. Hali then reached down to pick up her suitcases, which she had dropped when he had grabbed her hands. "Are you from Kyoto?" She asked.

A large smile remained slapped across Seijuro's face as he watched the girl's mouth move as she spoke. The station was loud so it made things difficult to hear another person speak. He smile gave him the butterflies, but that's with most cute things. For example, puppies, kittens, dolphins, baby bears, and all kinds of different things that can be labeled as "cute" give him the butterflies. He's a dotting brother as well who loves his little siblings very much and will talk your ear off when it comes to them. "Hali Mc-Mckaine...?" A finger was placed against his bottom lip as he made an attempt to pronounce her name fluently; it's different so of course it'll take some time for him to get it completely right. Seeing the girl bend down to grab her things caused Seijuro to flinch, now reaching down for them himself before she could do so. "I'll car- Ah!" The man's eyes widened for a second as he grew lost in thought, "Does this make me a pervert? This makes me a pervert doesn't it? I sh-" That's when her question brought him back to his senses as he then slowly handed her bags back, placing a hand on the back of his neck and averting his gaze. "Ah...n-no, I'm from Okinawa, but I decided to travel arou- Ah!" Once again his eyes grew wide, "I shouldn't ramble on about myself too much..." Smiling lightly, Seijuro placed both of his hands on his hips and took a deep breath, unintentionally puffing out his chest. "Yeah, Okinawa. You?"

[Spotine]

Hali saw him reach down to pick up her bags. She giggled, but her stood back up. "I guess I really make him jumpy." She thought to herself. "Okinawa? That's awesome!" Hali said cheerfully. "I'm from California, USA." She explained, still smiling cheerfully.

 

[NickOnTheReg]

Senna looked up and saw a strange man grabbing Hali and talking to her. "HALIIIIICHAN" she shouted as she ran over there. She grabbed her pepper spray. "S=Stay back." she said, clearly causing a scene. She stood between the two and glared at the man. "I-I'll use this." she said aiming it the male. "Hali-chan, strangers are dangerous." she said as she kept her eyes on the man. @Suzumaki Arakai @Spotine

Seijuro stood there with a smile on his face as he waited for the girl to reply. The reaction she made upon hearing he was from Okinawa made him feel confident and triumphant. When Hali mentioned that she was from America, Seijuro dropped her bags and gripped both of her hands with excitement. "America!? That's awesome! I'm going to visit there soon during my trip arou-" Suddenly he was cut off by a girl with long, blue hair running up, shoving a can of pepper spray in his face and yelling from someone to stay back. Seijuro's eyes widened and he turned around in search of who she was talking to. "Who!?" He turned his head, looking back at the two in curiosity, then taking notice of the fact that this girl was pretty cute as well, causing him to blush lightly. "You...you're cute too!" Don't worry...he's not a playboy, he just speaks his mind a little too much.

@NickOnTheReg @Spotine

[Spotine]

Hali looked over at Senna. "Oh my gosh! Calm down Senna!" She said, dropping her bags and lowering Senna's arm with the pepper spray forcefully. "He wasn't attacking me, we were just having a friendly conversation." Hali assured her friend. Although, she did find it kind of strange how he had randomly come up to her and called her cute. When Seizure called Senna cute too, she giggled. "Looks like Makoto has some competition." Hali joked. @NickOnTheReg @Suzumaki Arakai

Senna


Senna was shaking, she was nervous and scared and didn't know how to react except let out a small blush once the stranger called her cute. "Chikan" she said out loud as Hali put her arms down. She was now confused, how could a man be friendly like that from the start. "Eh? But, wasn't he trying to flirt with you and take you to his hotel room?" she asked so bluntly. She kept her eyes on the man. "W-What do you want?" @Suzumaki Arakai @Spotine


Yoshi


Yoshi watched what was going down and sighed a big relief once Hali lowered the pepper spray from the mans face. "Phew." he said as he walked over. "What's going on here?" he asked as he looked at the guy then at the girls. He could tell Senna was nervous and tense around the man but then again he knew she never has had much human interaction like this. Hali looked more calm to him. "You two know each other?" he asked Hali @Spotine

Everything was happening so fast, and Seijuro just couldn't comprehend. First it was just him and Heli, then there was some girl trying to pretect them from some invisible stranger...and now, there's another guy in the mix. Scratching at the back of his head, Seijuro blinked a couple times at Hali, "Competition?" Now he's probably thinking there's some sort of game going on. Upon seeing the girl with long hair start shaking, Seijuro leaned forward a bit, making a move to place a hand on her shoulder with a look of concern. "Are you o-" But his actions came to a halt as she spoke up about someone trying to take Hali to their hotel room, that's when Seijuro decided to cross his arms and puff out his chest with a thumb pointing towards herself. "Don't worry! I won't let anyone take Hali Mcklaine to their hotel room!" Blinking a couple times at her question, "Hm...I don't know what I want. I just had sushi so..." Now he's just being random as hell, making no sense whatsoever. Once the other male walked over, Seijuro bowed and held out a hand, but it soon retreated and he did a little repeat of the intorduction displayed for Hali. Leaning forward with his torso and back on his heels, Seijuro pointing at himself, yet again, with his thumb and gave a triumphant smile. "I'm Mikoshiba Seijuro! Nice to meet you!"

Hali looked at Yoshi. "Uh, not really. We just met." She said, deciding to leave the part of his obsessing over her looks out of the picture. She then looked over at Seijuro and giggled. He was making no sense whatsoever, and he looked quite comical as he introduced himself to Yoshi.
