[Log] - A Time to Go Out. Again.
WHO: Hanataro Yamada, Han Su Li, Thomas
WHEN: 8-28-06
WHERE: The Hub...cuz that's where it all happens.
WHAT: Thomas is on his way back to Karakura. While in the Hub, he runs into Hanataro again....and Han Su Li.
WATCH FOR: Han eating ice cream, A random ninja
The castle master has escaped his prison again to travel! Goodness, what has gotten into the youth? Has the unexplainable journey bug bit him in his sleep, making him want to roam as most boys around his age usually do? One cannot really say.
For his own reasons, anyway, Thomas just felt like he deserved another break from the norm of the manor. Dressed in modern youth wear (which consists of a shirt, jeans, sweatjacket, and sneakers), he finds himself back in...THE HUB.
He must like it here. Really.
It's Hanataro's day off, so the little timid shinigami is spending the day doing something different: Enjoying the sights and sounds of the Hub. Or rather enjoying the sights and sounds when he's not busy trying to get bumped aside or trampled underfoot by the crowds. "Anou... Excuse me.. Aah! Sorry... Oh! Excuse me... Whoa..."
By the time Thomas might catch sight of him, Hana's already dizzied and stumbling about. "We never had crowds this big in Soul Society...."
Oh hey! That dude looks familiar! Thomas blinks as Hana comes tumbling out of a crowd or two. He then reacts. "Whoa! Hey! Hanataro!" With this getup, it might be sort of hard for the shinigami to recognize him. Then again, maybe not. The castle master trots over, attempting to shake the boy gently back to conciousness. "Are - are you all right?" Oh, the flashbacks of not too long ago coming back to Thomas.
Thoses dudes does not look familiar to Han Su Li! But then again, they kind of are...almong the crowd right now. The crowd does not bother him much -- if at all. After you lived your whole life in an huge city like Hong Kong all your life, you do get some neat tricks.
One almong them if eating while wavering your way thru a busy crowd. Advanced versions of this technique includes managing to eat Ice Cream Without Dropping It, and it's upgrade: Eating Ice Cream Without Dropping It And Dirting Your Or Other's clothes.
Varients of course exists, but it is this particular basic technique that the heir of the Dipping Swallow Fist is demonstrating. Quite successfully, actually.
Apparently, it seems Hanataro has died on him. o_o; Thomas' eyes widen, shaking the guy a little more vigorously. "H-hey!" He then glances up, looking around. "Uh, help? Anyone?" Pleasepleaseplease!
"Anou... Please don't shake me too hard Zaraki-taicho... I don't like the headaches..." Hanataro's head finally clears and he smiles guiltily, if cutely, at Thomas. "Anou... Oh, hello Thomas-san. I'm sorry, I'm just not used to the busy-ness of the living world just yet."
Mmm-de-dum, cruising through the crowd, searching for ninja, eating ice cream...This is what Han Su Li is doing!
So, of course, when he hears some voice scream out 'Help! Help!' or something similar, what else do you want him to think? Quickly, the young martial artist weave his way toward the center point of the cries and shouts out quite loudly at the pair. "Stay calm! Where are the ninja!? I'll take care of them!"
All this while brandishing menacingly a cone of chocolate soft ice cream. Fearsome, is he not?
What the?
....For now, Thomas will pretend he did not notice that. He'll get back to it, eventually. With a sigh of relief, he's glad to see Hanataro awake. "Oh good, you live." Er. "AH! Um...wait. Living? Ahaha, you still make no sense to me, Hanataro." The castle master lets Hana go and sit, crouching next to him. "I'm not so hot with giant crowds, either."
Then his attention strays back to...wherever Han Su Li was, an eyebrow raised in question.
Han also gets a confused look from Hanataro. "Ninjas? Anou... Fong-taicho isn't here... I think."
Han just remain in that position for a short, few, embarassing moments.
Then he lowers his ice cream cone, coughing politely then asks, more clearly and self controlled. "I mean, have you seen any dirty ninja around here that needed bashing?"
The youth stays silent for a minute. "Um...I - I just needed to...get him back to his senses. That's all." Ninja? He had two back at home! Thomas laughs awkwardly. "I...no, I haven't seen any ninja of late. Then again, they're hard to see."
"No ninjas here, either," Hanataro adds with a nod. He must be talking of ninjas other than Soi Fong and her division members. They're certainly not dirty - he's seen them in the Soul Society baths! "Anou... How would we see ninjas? They're supposed to be hard to see, right?"
"There is easy ways of spotting a ninja!" Han Su Li comments, crossing his arms and ignoring his ice cream for the moment. Decision he might regret later, as the cold treat slowly begins to melt. "First, they hide in the ceiling. Second, their silly disguises can be busted out by a clever eye! Third: Ninja run, jump around and scream stupid words while throwing around kunai and shuriken. Or at
least, the stupid ones does." He shrugs lightly. "But all are vulnerable to a righteous fist to the face!"
Hm. Interesting take on ninja. Thomas blinks quizically. "...but aren't...they don't...bwuh?" Brain spasm. The castle master facefaults some, imagining Watari and Ayame doing the same stuff Han mentions. Must...not...laugh!
First, Hanataro looks up. "Anou... It's a long fall down..." Second, he looks around at the milling crowd. "Clever disguises? Like a business lady or an ice cream vendor?" Third, he looks back up and around again. "Anou... No shuriken or kunai or screaming." The checklist finished, he shakes his head confidently, "No ninjas here!"
It's the ultimate truth. You know it's truth.
"Well, thoses are really basic factors, really. There is others, but..." He pauses, before giving a short bow of the head at the two. "I forgot my manners! I'm Han Su Li! And you are?"
Somehow, everyone forgets introductions. It's normal. The castle master ohs and nods. "I'm Thomas. And this is..." He lets the shinigami answer that, smiling funny.
"Yamada Hanataro," the other boy introduces himself with a formal bow. The whole 'Seventh Seat of the Fourth Division of Soul Society' is left unmentioned for now. It might not be wise to let a guy who sees ninjas everywhere know that he's standing in front of a death god, after all!
Han is not a lad that sees ninja everywhere. He is a lad that have ninja following him everywhere. Add to that the occasional enuch sorcerer attacks that want his soul to sacrifice it to their dark gods, future magik-techno-monsters from the future and manipulative transcended animals, all bent on controling time and space, and you'd be paranoid a bit too. Or not very phased by a 'Death God'. But he, like the member of the Soul Society, is not too keen on declaring outright that he's a secret time-traveling warrior.
"Ah! Japanese, huh?" Han says, still not paying attention to his ice cream, "Cool, cool. Nice to meet you both! Are you two new around here?"
"Yes, I am from Karakura town," Hanataro nods as he too is oblivious to the now dripping ice cream. "And I'm not that new, I... anou... get around a lot," he admits sheepishly. YAMADA HANATARO, UNDERCOVER IPA BROTHER.
The youth hehs and nods in agreement. "In a way, I'm still new to certain areas. This place always seems busy." He gets up again, unless he did so already, but he does anyway. "I was about to go back to your town, too, Hanataro. How funny." Sight-seeing is great.
...says Thomas.
Are you sure it was Thomas?
Definitely.
"Ah! Good, good." Han Su Li replies, nodding quickly at the two men.
"Anyhow, please be careful around here -- and excuse me a moment." The martial says, casually as he moves toward a trash and peer into it, eyes narrowed. Then...dive a hand into it.
...and pull out a man clothed in stereotypical black ninja outfits, flailing all the while as the young man shows him to the two mens. "That, IS a ninja. Stupidest ninja kind, really. Trashes makes poor hidin--OH NO YOU DIDN'T." Han suddenly screams off as the captured ninja attempted to stab him with a knife, which is swiftly countered by a brutal punch into the face.
And the two slowly begins to fight it out, despite the crowd, starting to disappear into it!
Thomas stares at the ninja pulled out of the trash can, and then he continues to watch as they go and disappear. Clearly there are no words to describe how he's comprehending this. He quickly turns to Hanataro, a smile plastered on his face.
"So! Want to head back to Karakura?"
Hanataro looks dumbstruck. "Anou... A ninja... in a trashcan?" He'll have to ask Fong-taicho on the wisdom of that later. "Karakura? Oh, if you're headed there, sure." He's curious as to why Thomas is headed that way, but he's not quite brave enough to ask outright, so he'll just look dumb and cute for now.
Trust Thomas. It's safer that way.
That's what they all say. ._.
