Night 46: Recreational Field

[hajike_tobiume]

[from here]The fresh air, though a bit chilly and damp as it seeped through her uniform, was refreshing. Knowing the area to be dangerous, Momo stopped a bit away from the door and scanned the field as her eyesight adjusted to the light cast from the moon. She didn't see any movement, nor did she hear any. Perhaps she'd arrived before the

"I missed breakfast as well and suffered a headache for the rest of the morning," answered Hime as they moved. There was a look of dissatisfaction bordering on frustration as she mentioned that; not only had that been unpleasant, it had been a waste of time. At least it hadn't taken up her whole day.

"I met a couple of interesting people, however," she admitted. "A warrior named Teresa and an exorcist named Allen. Both come from different worlds, yet fight oddly similar demons."

A hint of a smile came to Hime's face as they stepped out into the moonlight, even as a shiver ran down her back. The night air was chill and she somewhat regretted not bringing something to wear over the T-shirt the institute had provided. Well, not that she was one to turn back over something so small, so she continued on out to the field.

"Yes, I think that's it," she agreed when Kagura pointed the activities shed out. She'd never been out here or seen it before, but as it was the only shed in the area, it must be it. "We should be able to obtain some sporting goods there; those tend to be made with bludgeoning in mind."

It was nice that he hadn't just been told to shut up and keep walking. If he'd been with the Fire Nation guys, he could just hear Shika telling him that this wasn't the place for idle chit-chat. Sokka knew it wasn't, but continuing in silence was more than unnerving in this place.

"I thought my nurse was on fire..." Sokka admitted with a shake of his head, "But I've thought that before. Not with a nurse, but... yeah... so that's what it feels like to get drugged in this... uh... world? I know that cactus juice does that kind of thing to you back home. And vulturebeeswax..." The wax not so much, but Sokka hadn't been really right when he'd tried that horrid stuff.

When they got outside, he looked around the place and spotted the shed in question. Creepy shed, being creepy in the moonlight at a creepy place. Yeah, Sokka didn't like that so much. "That... doesn't look so inviting..." he commented, being captain obvious as usual.

Sokka's words were a little distracting. He thought his nurse was on fire? Kagura wasn't quite sure what he was talking about, so she couldn't really comment, although she did agree that the shed looked uninviting.

When they reached their destination, Kagura tried the door, but it wouldn't budge. Not a problem. The lock looked old and rusted; breaking in would be easy for Kagura. That would cause some noise, but there wasn't really any way around it. Kagura didn't really feel like standing out in the cold.

Concerned she might damage her flashlight, Kagura tucked it into the waistband of her pants and took a loose stance with her clothes rod held in both hands. While Kagura might not have looked strong, her lean body had been honed through years of martial arts training and real combat experience. It only took her a single swing to smash through the lock, and with that out of the way, she nudged the door open and switched her flashlight back on.

There was combat, but it was far enough away from their position that Hime wasn't particularly concerned. She led the trio along the wall, deciding to stay on this side where she could see enemy approach as long as possible before they jumped over. A few meters before the wall surrounding the courtyard ended, she came to a halt. The gardening shed should be just over the other side.

"We'll cross over the wall here. Try to be wary of anything that may be waiting for us on the other side," she warned the other two. They'd just armed themselves, but she'd rather finish getting all their items for the night before any fighting ensued and possibly ate up the rest of their remaining time.

Sokka wasn't so good at ignoring the combat, but he didn't go charging head long into it either. That would have just been dumb, although he did feel like it was mean to just pass it by. He had no choice but to ignore it though, for Hime's lead, but also for the fact that she apparently intended to have them go over a wall? Was she serious?

Raising a hand, Sokka posed a question as he pointed towards the top of the wall, "And we're supposed to cross over this... how exactly?" Because last time he'd checked? None of them were airbenders or had wings.

Kagura was concerned about the battle going on nearby and thought about giving them a hand, but it was dangerous diving into a fight when she didn't have all the facts. Plus, she wasn't alone. If she had been, Kagura wouldn't have minded intervening in the fight, but she couldn't just drag Hime and Sokka into it. When Hime spoke, Kagura turned her attention to the wall.

"It's no problem Sokka. Look," Kagura said before demonstrating. After she took a running start, Kagura leapt towards the wall, grabbing the top with her hand. Although Kagura looked like a normal teenager, her athletic skills were on the level of national athletes. Many girls her age couldn't even do a slam dunk, but for Kagura, that was a simple feat.

After she easily scaled the wall, Kagura sat at the top and reached back down with her hand to help her teammates up. "Here, grab my hand."
