Day 35: Main Street
Shiki was a little disappointed. When she heard the words 'field trip', she had expected the town to be a whole lot bigger. How could you even go shopping properly in a town like this? There needed to be a whole lot more stores, she decided. Two department stores, boutiques, and a record store, at least
( Read more... )
Sanzo sighed.
"Fine," he grunted. "It's not like I can stop you anyway."
This way he could keep an eye on the runt. It was also Goku admitting - not outloud, exactly - that they were going to do things his way now. None of this shit with Hakkai. The man was an adult, he could (and the healer had proven this enough) take care of himself if things got rough. They'd regroup eventually.
Until then, they had to track down the sutra. From the sound of it, Callisto had gotten something they needed for the basement. Qui-Gon was welcome to deal with her ass, Sanzo wasn't interested in dealing with her more than he had to.

At least he got the consent. It made Goku happy, enough so to concentrate on the trip. The last time ... Landels had come here, he hadn't been able to go due to his unnatural sleeping schedule. Nice to see that he was around for it this time, and he wanted to at least look at a few things before heading back. Being in a new town did, now that he noticed, feel really refreshing. Sort of like the feeling every time they went to a new city on their trip.
This time it was a sort of vacation too.
"Where are we headed?" Goku glanced at Sanzo while walking at the monk's side. Occasionally he'd take a few looks at the city itself, absently trying to place its image with one he remembered from another town; who knew, maybe it would be near one of them.

A smoke or two would help the ache and stiffness. Or at least, help him ignore it.
There wasn't much he could do during the dayshift to track the scripture down. That last escape attempt had failed miserably: he wasn't willing to lose the Smith & Wesson trying again. He'd get thrown into Solitary for anything else. Solitary itself Sanzo could handle. It was when nightshift rolled around that the problems began.
All in all, it left the dayshift as one irritating, boring mess. He was wasting precious time from the mission, and worst of all, he couldn't do jackshit about it.
At least he could be sure it wasn't in Doyleton.
Whoever had taken the sutra had clearly known it was worth something. They wouldn't be stupid enough to hide it in a place like this. And at least Goku could stretch his legs, before he whined his ear off.
"Unless you can think of something better."

The first thing that came to mind was the idea that they could look around trying to find out more about the area, that and find a map of where they were. It wouldn't help right now but it would in the future - when they escaped. He'd noticed the staff watched over everyone really closely (they were even hovering in a lot of places now, which made Goku wonder why the townspeople allowed trips like this to happen. Shouldn't they be scared of mental patients?) so it would be hard to do it afterwards. Before was better, it was premature.
Pre-emptive? Something like that.
Maybe after Sanzo got was he was looking for. Which brought Goku to his second thought: food. If Sanzo wanted beer then he could order some food at the same time. Sanzo couldn't refuse that.
Goku grinned. "A restaurant?" It was better than getting a 'manicure,' whatever that was.

"Good enough." He'd have preferred a bar, but they'd have alcohol at a restaurant too. "I don't have the gold card; don't eat the entire menu."

Huh, that was true. How was he supposed to get full if they didn't give him enough to eat? The coupon he was given didn't say anything about quantity either, just one meal.
He could always ask when he got there, he guessed.
"Which one do you wanna go to?"
