[Chances are you don't find too many people relaxing on the beach in a hot and heavy coat and skull cap. Chances are they aren't sprawled out awkwardly in the sand either, or lack proper vacationing accessories like a beach towel and bag.

But you've found one, and he's just started to return to consciousness thanks to a healthy film of sand building in his eyes, picked up by the wind.

Shinjiro groans, sitting up and gazing out at the sea with watery eyes.]

Where the hell am I?

[So many possibilities. He could have died, and this was the afterlife. He could have fallen comatose again. Briefly he wondered if Akihiko had knocked him out cold to drag him on a trip. And if that was the case, he would be in for a hurting. He just wanted to see her again.

But he's here now.]

Damn.

Comments

[She nodded slightly.]

Yes and now I don't have any of the things I am use to. Who would do such a thing?

[redpeacoat]

[Well, somebody's full of themselves. At least she comes across like that to the teen. He sighs.]

Someone who doesn't give a shit that you're out of your element. People who pull this crap don't care about what happens to you, so long as you're alive.

[ukidokiotaku]

[Sadly, she is kind of full of herself.]

Someone's a little rude. Taking you like a damsel in distress and landing you here, doesn't make you curious as to what they want with us?

[redpeacoat]

[Rude, but that's just the outside of him.]

It does.

[But he's no damsel in distress! Well, considering the time, they did take advantage of him in a weak state.]

We ain't gonna find out feeling sorry for ourselves though...

[He slowly rolls onto his stomach and climbs up to his feet. Might as well party up with the girl until they get some information. They might have something more in common that would be connected as to why they were both abducted and left here.]

[ukidokiotaku]

[But she was pretty much gonna spend the time feeling sorry for herself. Oh, well not much she can do but figure out why she was here and more so how one can go home.]

But what else can you do to find out?

[redpeacoat]

Not stand around. A nice beach like this is probably close to a hotel or something.

[They could at least find a phone and get in touch with people who could come find them.]

You coming with?

[ukidokiotaku]

[She cheers up slightly at the mention of a hotel.]

Of course. Hopefully it's a nice five star one.

[redpeacoat]

[He heaves a sigh, starting to trek down the beach.

Talk about polar opposites. Shinjiro would be fine with even just a tent. He wouldn't know what to do with a ton of money aside from saving it, and he would think he didn't deserve it.]

[ukidokiotaku]

[She followed, not use to being on a beach without at least someone looking out for her. It was hard being rich then suddenly losing it all in one swoop. Yet, she wouldn't know if this was a good thing or bad thing. At least for now.]

Do you know beaches are the best place for a nice walk?

[redpeacoat]

I guess, if you like having sand in your shoes.

[Shinjiro could argue that money doesn't buy happiness, but that's a discussion for another time. If the girl only knew she was walking with her polar opposite; an orphan who wasn't adopted and has fended for himself most of his life.]

[ukidokiotaku]

I don't, but I usually don't wear shoes on a beach.

[She always wore what was suitable, to an extent. Cosplay is cosplay even if it's just a bikini.]

[redpeacoat]

[...He can't argue with that logic.

He stops to pull off his shoes and socks. The sand is soft and warm, and there aren't many sharp stones in it to make it uncomfortable. It only takes him a few dozen steps to adjust to walking through it.]

[ukidokiotaku]

[Renge had thankfully chosen to remember to take off her shoes and go barefoot. It felt rather nice between her toes as she smiled. It was still sad she didn't out the outfit for it though. But next time hopefully.]

What are we looking for?
