Start Ups Immortals

[Isaac Gates]

"Huh, that's pretty interesting," Amber admitted. "I guess you really do learn a new thing everyday," She thought out loud.

 

[Flaze]

Ken stared at the sword for a moment, a part of him wondering if they really would be able to safeguard it. 'I just hope the thieves don't suddenly stop their attempts just as we arrived."

 

[Isaac Gates]

"Oh?" Amber said, questioning Ken.

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"It's a short story, but here we go. It all started around the time I was changed and after everything had happened..." Rose spoke, not really wanting to retell those details of her past again, "I took up fighting with a sword. One of the former guards at the manor was teaching me as he was more endowed with swordsmanship. I didn't think of anything more than learning how to bring down my enemies. It wasn't just a self-defense I was after when I trained with him. I was helpless with what happened back then, but I felt like if I knew how to fight back, maybe things could change for me. I had to do this for myself, so I wouldn't lose anyone I love again."

 

[Hector]

Xavier nodded. He understood. Since he had moved into the house, he'd been training far harder than he ever had. For a similar reason. "But you weren't helpless in the end. You escaped and you saved your sister." He said quietly. "I understand how important this is to you and I'll do my best to be the teacher you deserve."

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"I know you will," Rose replied back with a smile, "I have you to protect now and our future together."

 

[Hector]

Xavier nodded. "We both have that to protect. And we will." He said with a confident smile.

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"Good," Rose smiled, "Do you want to go back to training, or do you have any other ideas?"

 

[Yun]

By the time the group left the bar to wander around the town, Wren was more than a little drunk. "So, like, do you think that guy just wanted to a reason to talk to you? Think he might've wanted some ass?" She asked Nicolette.

 

[Hector]

"We're in paradise, we're alone and we have a villa to ourselves." Xavier murmured. "Of course I have ideas."

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"Aside from the obvious," Rose laughed.

 

[Flaze]

Don raised an eyebrow, surprised at how bold Wren's question was, though considering she was drunk he probably shouldn't have been so surprised.

"I mean that's a possibility right?" Ken asked as he turne dtowards Amber. "Now that they have people here to stop them they might stop until we think it's safe and then come back."

 

[Hector]

"Sometimes the most obvious ideas are the best." Xavier realized something. "We haven't... taken full advantage of the hot tub yet."

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"Oh fine," Rose laughed, "To the hot tub then."

 

[Prez]

"Ugh, I hope not," Nicolette said in response. "He was rather homely."

 

[Yun]

Wren snorted in a laugh. "Yeah, no kiddin. Dude was fucken gross," she did a motion in front of her face, gesturing to her nose. "You see that nose? Looked like a potato. And I'm not sayin that cause he's Irish."

 

[Taengoo]

Kei was elsewhere.

Probably at a Japanese steakhouse.

 

[Prez]

"Even my own grandpa's nose is smaller than that!" Nicolette said with a drunken laugh.

 

[Flaze]

Don tried to hold in a laugh as he looked at Nicolette and Wren, he did have to admit that he was pretty amused with the two. "So where should we go?"

 

[Taengoo]

The weather outside began to change drastically in Japan. Anyone who wasn't in a properly air-conditioned establishment would feel a wave of intense heat, as if fire were manifesting in the air.

Confusingly enough, it was still raining quite heavily.
