Day 28: Bus 1

Zelgadis was not happy, at all. Not that this was any change, but the events of the past few hours had given him more to angst about than usual. Nightshift had been dreadful: first he was attacked by a small green man and then covered in leeches, neither of which lead to warm fuzzy feelings.

And now this.

When the nurse had come into his room with new clothes he had a small glimmer of hope-- some thief had taken his normal Landel's wear in the night, so perhaps this was a change in luck. However, it was not the godsend he had hoped for. Minus the threat of sedation, there was nothing in the universe that could make Zelgadis wear a bright lemon-yellow shirt. There was a jacket of a slightly more tasteful variety, so Zelgadis made good us of it-- he put all his coupons in a pocket and pulled up the hood. It was almost as good as his cloak. Well, no it wasn't, but it would have to do.

With mild protesting, Zelgadis was lead to a large yellow vehicle. He climbed the stairs, took a seat towards the back, and readied himself for another frustrating day of being attacked and threatened with spoons.

"Thanks, nice to meet you too!" Heiji grinned. "All this talk of 'actions' and 'openings', y'sound like you're trained in somethin'. Must be really handy for this kinda place."

The teen sat back in his seat, suddenly remembering the plans he'd made with Okita. He was so totally screwed... He'd only practiced kendo as a sport--not as a method of actually killing people! Heiji shook off his apprehension.

"So I'm pretty new to this gig--I'm guessing this is the first time they've thrown this little 'field trip' curve at us?"

"Yes, I have trained to be a ninja. As for it being 'handy'...the monsters here are very dangerous. It seems that they are far more strong than expected. It is best to go as a group. As for this trip, it is rather odd."

"Uwaaah! A ninja, huh?" Heiji grinned appreciatively. His own style not only included kendo, but many of the mechanics of ninjutsu. It was his family's namesake, after all. Not that Heiji could throw pencils, pens, or shuriken with amazing accuracy--he was just more nimble than most boys his age were.

"That's awesome! Hey, y'ever hear of Hattori Hanzo?" Heiji grinned, obviously unafraid of flaunting his ancestry. "He was my great-great-great... uh, I'm related to him!"

Lee seemed like a nice guy--so Heiji wasn't going to hold back. When did he ever? Besides, this was a field trip! He could work on the Landel's case later. Now it was time to meet people and enjoy his trip! Trips were for enjoying oneself!
