[First] Arrival

[neverdrunk]

1. {Video}
[ The feed flickers on, Hakkai's face framed in the image simply, the familiar background of The Bay behind him. Ah yes, another new face, right? Oddly enough, there is a small, subtly serene smile on Hakkai's face despite his current location.]

Maa, for a kidnapping it certainly seems we're afforded a lot of free will.

[He glances at the small stack of money. Being handed cash is different, but not all that different from Sanzo's magical credit card.]

And a lot of responsibility. What sort of job is a hostage supposed have exactly? [It's said with a playful lilt to his voice, a laugh following the question. At the very least, it's quiet here. (He'd been in the middle of a very loud, very long drive.)]

2. {Action}
[With bemused questions out of the way, Hakkai pockets the device, and turns his attention towards the pamphlet and the map within. He has to admit, whatever these people were up to, they were at least thorough. With a sigh, he peers up over the edge of the pamphlet and vaguely listens to the announcement for what was probably the fourth or fifth time.

He wasn't waiting on anyone in particular, but something about leaving his other three companions on their own made him worry. ...Worry that they were going to wind up killing each other. He just hopes that no one is trying to drive Jeep while he's gone.]

Then it's time to head towards the city. [And apparently, use his newly aquired money for some accomodations. Perhaps if he was frugal he could make this stretch long enough to find some sort of way to earn more. Not that he felt all that inclined to get a job. The entire concept is a little strange...]

(( ooc: feel free to pick either option or a mix of the two I am open to whatever!!! ))

[Getting kidnapped and waking up in a strange place? Not really a new thing for Gojyo. Waking up in a strange place and being given a pile of money and told to get a job? Now that was a new experience. Shoving everything in his pockets, he leaves The Bay and quickly spots the brunette. He shouts at his wife friend as he jogs to catch up to him.]

Hakkai!

...What the hell is going on?

[neverdrunk]

[One down, two to go. At the very least, it's a bit of a relief to see Gojyo here.]

Gojyo. It appears that we've been kidnapped. [He's sticking with the obvious here.] But we are also not the only ones, it seems.

[Hahaha. it's funny, right?]

[foreverdrunk]

[Out of all the people he could end up stranded in a strange city with, he's definitely glad to be stuck with Hakkai. Even when Hakkai is being a smartass.]

I got that, asshole. I was hoping you remembered how we even ended up here in the first place. This seems way too elaborate to be Kougaiji's doing.

[Because let's be real here. He may try to be all evil and shit, but his dumb sister would screw everything up if this were his plan.]

[neverdrunk]

[Sorry, he's going to laugh.]

Mm, I doubt it's his doing at all. Afterall, neither of us have anything that he is after. [He tucks the map and money into his pocket.] Something more simple and more flashy is their style.

[foreverdrunk]

The other two could already be here. But you're right. They do tend to be a lot flashier.

So... What do we do now?

[neverdrunk]

Hmm. [Well, for one he would like to go somewhere less... waterlogged. Water is nice and all but he's really not in the mood.]

Our first priority should be somewhere to stay. [Since they've been given money, they might as well do what they can with it.] And from the looks of it we'll need to get jobs. [and that still amuses him too much.]

[foreverdrunk]

Somewhere to stay... Yes. Getting a job? [Cue the laughing.]

I'm sure there are some casinos or illegal gambling rooms I can hit up.

[neverdrunk]

That could work temporarily. [he adds after a beat, rather chipper.]

As long as you make more than you lose.

Are you saying that, after all these years, you still doubt my skills?
