do you suppose that, waiting hands on eyes, Veronica has gone to hide?

Apr 01, 2006 22:37

It had been a long day. A long, nervewracking, more than slightly disturbing day, and Veronica Mars never wanted to live another one like it. Unfortunately, the way this island worked, he figured that was a lost cause.

That didn't mean he had to like it. On the bright side, the rain had long since stopped and the sand was dry again, so he took off ( Read more... )

Hunter had yet to meet anyone affected by the genderswitch, or anyone at all that day so he had no idea what was going on. He'd been looking for fruit and climbing random trees, just having a kind of relaxing day. Now he was returning to his shelter by way of the beach, head up turned to watch the stars had he did so.

With his head looking up, he almost didn't notice the person lying there until he was about two feet away and about to step on them. Hunter stopped and and tried to remember if he met this person before. Deciding he had not, Hunter put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the star. "Beautiful aren't they?"

Veronica glanced up at the boy. Unfamiliar, so either he'd never met him before or this was another victim of the switch. "Yeah, they are," he breathed. "And they're so much clearer than back home."

"We have mountains back home, near the beach like this...the stars are just as clear and so beautiful. I'd take my students outside for night training often on nights like this..." Hunter remised about his academy, as it was exactly as he described, on top of a mountain range overlooking the ocean. Better access to storms and all...

Veronica eased up onto his elbows. "Students? How old are you?" Unless he were a TA for a college astronomy course, he looked a bit young to be teaching. "You sound like you really miss it."

crimsonninja April 2 2006, 04:37:07 UTC

Hunter smirked. "20. I'm head teacher at a ninja academy in California. And I miss it very much, which is funny because I never was much of an outgoing person." He nodded to the sand beside the other. "Mind if I join you?"

neptune_sleuth April 2 2006, 04:38:59 UTC

Veronica shrugged. "Go right ahead." He tilted his head, watching the boy in disbelief. "I'm from California. I don't think I've ever heard of a ninja academy out there."

crimsonninja April 2 2006, 04:45:18 UTC

Sitting down and leaning back, Hunter chuckled softly. "You wouldn't. Thier secret, hidden in the mountains around Blue Bay Harbour. Even knowing they're there, you wouldn't be able to find exactly where they are." Though he did give him an interested look. "Fellow Californian aye? Where abouts?"

neptune_sleuth April 2 2006, 04:49:49 UTC

"Right," Veronica drawled dryly. "I should've figured, ninjas being the stealthy lot they are." He only half-believed the guy. Weirder things had been known to happen around here, but still. Ninjas. "Neptune. It's near San Diego. You? Or are you not allowed to tell?" he asked, with a tilt of his head that, were he still a shy, might have been described as coy.

crimsonninja April 2 2006, 04:55:30 UTC

Raised an eyebrow to the other, half amused when he detected he wasn't being believed. Not that he was going to bring up any other evidence, considering what happened last time... "Blue Bay Harbour, in Southrn Cal on the coast." He said matter a factly in response to the coyness, a stubborn smirk on his face.

neptune_sleuth April 2 2006, 05:01:50 UTC

"I don't know it," he said with a shrug. "But more SoCal people are always appreciated."

crimsonninja April 2 2006, 05:05:58 UTC

For some reason, Hunter wasn't suprised. If he was fictional, probably so was Blue Bay Harbour..."I second that. We need more sane people on this island...That name's Hunter by the way." As he introduced himself, he offered a hand.

neptune_sleuth April 2 2006, 05:09:53 UTC

Veronica hesitated, then shook his hand. Still firm as ever, if not more so, she noted. "Mine's Veronica actually," he said dryly. "I was a girl yesterday and today . . . I woke up like this. Gee, I love this island."

crimsonninja April 2 2006, 05:14:52 UTC

"Wait...what?" Hunter was slightly confused. "Your a girl...but today you
woke up a guy? Is this a common occurance around her?"

neptune_sleuth April 2 2006, 05:20:28 UTC

"I know," Veronica sighed wearily. "This place is seriously whacked. Not exactly a common thing, no, but weird crap happens all the time out here. I guess it was about time it caught up with me. Last time, it was switching bodies; before that, aphrodesiac in the bread."

crimsonninja April 2 2006, 05:23:52 UTC

Switching bodies...? Aphrodesiac bread...? And he, er she, thought ninjas were out of the ordinary... "Ah..." Hunter got out for lack of anything else to say, looking out over the water. "Never a dull moment it seems..." Suddenly feeling more then a little creeped out.

neptune_sleuth April 2 2006, 05:30:18 UTC

"Sorry," he said, tight-lipped. "Like I said, this place? Just a tiny bit messed up." By which, of course, he meant hugely, monumentally, pain-in-the-ass-ly messed up in the kind of way that meant she was going to need even more therapy than she'd originally thought. "I don't exactly find it fun either," he added.
