Book it, Trip to Hawaii

[Dracos]

May 10 19:54:16 *   Aisutori looks over the fight, seeing just how it was going, "Noriko, I'm going to put up distraction...book it."  Aisutori channeled much of what she had left, a literal snowstorm filling the clearing and obscuring much from view.  OOC: Hoping to give us effectively smoke-bomb cover. :)
May 10 19:56:09 <Kotono>   Snow rages about the battered party, as above the great abomination of Kawazam rises above you! Enro gathers you all around and draws in on his power! For an instant the world looks distorted and hazy and then...plop! It's pleasantly dark here, warm and the smell of salty water can be scented. It looks like a room of some sort, but it's too dark to tell much more. Enro promptly falls face down over, limpid!
May 10 19:57:05 <Aisutori>   "Enro, are you alright?" Aisutori leans over, gently flipping him and checking his heartbeat.
May 10 19:57:50 *   Noriko feels around the room for a lamp or a light switch.
May 10 19:58:21 <Jin_>   "No one told me that we'd be going up against Cthulu!" Jin props himself on his sword, panting heavily. "Note to self, don't provoke eldritch creatures into fighting next time."
May 10 19:59:47 <Noriko>   "The alternatives were letting him go or cooperating with him, Jin."
May 10 20:00:01 <Kotono>   You find a lamp! Turning it on you see to be in a pleasant room. There's a small bed, the walls plain whitewash. Out the window you can see it's nighttime, not much light at all. You can faintly see some sort of tree, but not much else.
May 10 20:00:05 <Aisutori>   "Well, yeah, of course not..." It was hard to mistake Aisutori as a normal girl at all, her hair completely white at this point.  "We thought we were cornering a wounded electric specialist, not a healthy giant."
May 10 20:02:13 *   Jin_ drags Enro over to the bed and sorta slings him on there in an undignified heap. He then leans against a wall and slides down it till he's seated on the floor. "Tricksy hobbitses, indeed." He muttered to himself. "I sure hope we're not halfway across the world. Gramps would kill me for missing school."
May 10 20:03:36 <Aisutori>   "You've got weird priorities sometimes...I hope the police are alright.  He might've gone on a rampage with us not there."  She checked the door, deciding to look for clues to where they were.
May 10 20:04:29 <Kotono>   The door opens to a hallway. The walls are decorated with what looks to be pictures of various tropical locales. There's two other doors and the hall opens up into what looks to be a bigger room at the end.
May 10 20:05:28 <Jin_>   "I'm not sure if Leviathan's agents want to expose themselves just yet. It would be easier to work behind the scenes. At least, that's how it seems to me."
May 10 20:05:48 *   Jin_ cranes his head, a little too worn out to care about the door.
May 10 20:07:13 <Aisutori>   "Going with being a cthulhu is hardly behind the scenes," Aisutori complained, walking down the hallway to the bigger room, looking for phones, TVs, or just a doorway that leads to the outside where she could check the address.
May 10 20:08:12 *   Jin_ shrugs, "Touche." He slouches even further down the wall. "Lucky Enro. At least he's asleep."
May 10 20:08:46 <Kotono>   It's dark ahead, but Aisutori thinks she can see a door on the other side of the far room. Looks sorta like a living room, tropically styled.
May 10 20:10:43 <Aisutori>   She checks for light switches as she enters the room.
May 10 20:12:21 <Kotono>   Indeed, a light switch is found! It's about as Aisturoi suspected, also with a door on the other side as noted. There's a TV as well, as wella s a few magazines on the table.
May 10 20:12:52 *   Noriko follows along, now checking the mailing address on those magazines.
May 10 20:14:01 *   Aisutori checks the tv, turning it on and flipping till she finds a news channel.
May 10 20:14:36 <Kotono>   The magazines look to be in English. Turning on the TV, you see some sort of strange news program, also sounding like English! OOC: Can any of you read that?
May 10 20:16:13 *   Jin_ decides to pull himself up with a groan and stick his head out the window. Maybe he'll see a beach or something?
May 10 20:17:22 <Kotono>   The mailing address is to 30 Palmfront, US Virgin Islands.
May 10 20:18:17 <Noriko>   "We are halfway across the world from home," Noriko announces.
May 10 20:19:16 <Kotono>   It's pretty dark, but Jin thinks it looks beachy and palm tree-y.
May 10 20:20:09 *   Jin_ looks back into the room, shrugs, and clambers out the window. If there's a beach, there's a nice, cool ocean to swim in. Near death experiences make you appreciate those sorts of things.
May 10 20:20:15 <Aisutori>   "What?"  Aisutori stared, "How'd he get us all the way out here?"  She listened to the news halfheartedly, not expecting anything now.
May 10 20:21:26 <Noriko>   "I would presume with great effort."
May 10 20:21:41 <Kotono>   Sounds like some sort of local news - nothing immediately relevant or familiar. Meanwhile Jin goes outside! It is indeed a beach, a cloudy night. Far away you can see the ocean dimly, lapping against the shore.
May 10 20:23:52 *   Jin_ inhales the salty breeze and walks forward, intending to wade a bit while the others are inside. Downtime is rare, these days!
May 10 20:24:06 <Kotono>   OOC: Quick question. What are you guys going to do now?
May 10 20:24:50 <Noriko>   OOC: retty much have to wait for Enro to wake up...unless we want to get on a plane. With an unconscious guy.
May 10 20:25:22 <Aisutori>   OOC: I'll go join jin walking on the beach.  Maybe we'll get lucky and find something.  Either way I'll probably find a bed in the place soon as well and rest.
May 10 20:26:17 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay. Are you going to go with them or just hang around, Noriko, or do something else?
May 10 20:27:47 <Noriko>   OOC: I guess someone should be around in cvase Enro revives. And sinmce I'm mildly braindead, may as well be Noriko!
May 10 20:29:09 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay.
May 10 20:29:58 <Kotono>   Aisutori and Jin walk the beach! The breeze is warm and refreshing as you wander. After about 10 minutes of it, the waves gently pick up. Murmuring on the breeze, "Here..." A woman's voice is heard, so very far away that it's barely audible.
May 10 20:30:32 *   Jin_ stops, cocking his ear in the general direction of the voice, trying to pinpoint it. "Hear that, Ai-chan?"
May 10 20:33:08 <Kotono>   The voice goes quieter, "My aid...the Leviathan is stirring...be careful, his Voice...!" From the ocean they come. Four pearls wash to the shore, glistening with water.
May 10 20:33:36 *   Aisutori nods, hurries toward the oceanside, "Look at this..." She picked up two of the large pearls.
May 10 20:33:51 *   Jin_ dashes forward, picking up the other two!
May 10 20:34:10 <Jin_>   "Oh wow. We sure could use these, after seeing how easily we got our asses kicked today."
May 10 20:37:53 <Aisutori>   "We didn't get our asses kicked.  We escaped before then...it could've gone a LOT worse."
May 10 20:38:08 <Aisutori>   "All of us walked away from that fight alive."
May 10 20:38:57 <Jin_>   "I guess so." Jin stands back up, pearls in hand. "Maybe we should get these back to the house for safekeeping?
May 10 20:41:28 <Aisutori>   "You could say that..." She nodded, "Let's hide it there...I need a rest, but would you mind continuing to search?  Maybe there's more."  She helped carry them back to the living room.
May 10 20:43:49 <Jin_>   "I kinda need to sleep *sometime* but I'll comb the beach an hour or so, I guess."
May 10 20:43:56 *   Jin_ heads back out!
May 10 20:44:20 <Kotono>   The beach is duly combed. Little else of interest is found, unless seaweed is your thing.
May 10 20:45:32 *   Aisutori takes a long nap, probably isn't able to be stirred until morning.
May 10 20:46:29 *   Jin_ returns, intent on sleeping.
May 10 20:47:00 *   Noriko parks herself next to a convenient electrical outlet to recharge while the others sleep.
May 10 20:49:39 <Kotono>   Sleep and rest come. The party awakens midway through the next morning. Enro's still out, but you do find a kitchen stocked up with canned goods and the like. Over an unusual breakfast the party can do what they wish...
May 10 20:54:47 <Aisutori>   "Well, if we're out of the fight for a bit...at least we have a peaceful place to hide away," Aisutori mentioned over breakfast, "...We should probably use those now though.  One for each.  That way if they find us here, at least we're as ready as we can be."
May 10 20:55:02 *   Noriko nods in agreement.
May 10 20:55:39 *   Jin_ eyes the pearls. "I guess. I'd rather wait, to be honest."
May 10 20:56:28 <Noriko>   "Explain your reasoning, Jin."
May 10 20:59:54 <Jin_>   "I dunno. If these pearls have stuff tailored to us individually, wouldn't it be a good idea to wait until your mom can scan it and tell us what the properties are? I mean, I'd be useless with a healing whatever."
May 10 21:01:16 <Noriko>   "We do not know that they are tailored to us. If they were, that is presumedly information important enough to have been provided us."
May 10 21:01:26 *   Enro stumbles into the kitchen, bleary eyed and obviously confused and out of it.
May 10 21:01:48 *   Aisutori blinks, "I wouldn't mind ALL of us being able to heal...Enro-san?  Are you alright," Aisutori walked over, helping steady him.  "Are you safe on your feet yet?"
May 10 21:02:03 *   Enro looks around the room and stares for a minute, mumbling and then semi-collapses into a chair.
May 10 21:02:13 <Noriko>   "Ah, he does not need to be hospitalized after all. Good."
May 10 21:02:56 <Enro>   "Wh.. *Enro's voice cracks and sounds strained with exhaustion* what happened? Where are we?"
May 10 21:03:24 *   Jin_ shrugs. "I'm not too worried about being poisoned, so I guess I'll live. If you wanna crack'em open, be my guest." Jin pats Enro on the shoulder briefly, letting the girls explain.
May 10 21:03:24 <Noriko>   "The Virgin Islands. Did you not transport us here?"
May 10 21:04:04 <Enro>   "I..I can't really remember.. Something about a.. frog?"
May 10 21:04:16 *   Enro squints his eyes in both thought and exhaustion.
May 10 21:04:52 <Jin_>   "More like Cthulu, I'm afraid. The frog would have been nicer."
May 10 21:05:12 <Enro>   "Virgin Islands? ... The vacation home.. My family owns a bit of property here.. I remember it really well, but haven't been here in a few years."
May 10 21:07:36 <Enro>   "Is everyone alright? I can't remember much.. I can barely stay awake."
May 10 21:07:45 <Aisutori>   "Well, you got us out here," Aisutori nodded.  "And lucky you did.  That could've gone a lot worse.  Everyone's fine."
May 10 21:08:43 *   Jin_ nods in agreement. "Yeah. The frog was tougher than he looked."
May 10 21:09:09 <Jin_>   "Lucky you're our safety net, eh?"
May 10 21:09:12 *   Enro nods, his head dipping semi-alarmingly towards the table top.
May 10 21:09:40 *   Aisutori grabs Enro's shoulder to steady him. "Maybe you should stay in bed."
May 10 21:10:56 <Enro>   "It's just.. that many people.. so far.. I'll be fine.. Just.. don't expect anything from me for a while."
May 10 21:11:54 <Jin_>   "Maybe what ever's in those pearls will perk you right up." Jin nods his head in the direction of the pearls.
May 10 21:12:24 *   Enro stares at Jin foggy eyed and blank faced.
May 10 21:12:32 <Enro>   "... Pearls?"
May 10 21:13:07 <Aisutori>   "It's a gift of power from the guardian of the seas.  Their water can give you something you never had before."
May 10 21:13:21 <Jin_>   "What she said."
May 10 21:13:28 <Enro>   "... A normal life?"
May 10 21:14:16 <Jin_>   "Hey, it could happen."
May 10 21:15:44 <Aisutori>   "Don't be silly," Aisutori went and got a few bowls from the cupboards.
May 10 21:15:53 <Enro>   ".. right.. I think for now, I just need to not do anything. Sleep and food."
May 10 21:18:39 *   Aisutori tries to crack one of the pearls over a bowl.
May 10 21:21:31 <Kotono>   OOC: All of them in one bowl?
May 10 21:21:35 <Kotono>   OOC: Oh wait misred.
May 10 21:21:39 <Kotono>   OOC: Misread.
May 10 21:21:50 <Kotono>   A pearl is cracked! THe lovely, magical fluid within pours out as expected!
May 10 21:22:13 *   Aisutori lifts it and carefully drinks it down.
May 10 21:23:06 *   Enro eyes the bowl and the liquid.
May 10 21:23:20 <Enro>   ".. That's not going to destroy my mom's dishes, is it?"
May 10 21:23:35 <Kotono>   Aisutori drinks it down! She feels momentarily warm, as...OOC: PM
May 10 21:24:39 *   Aisutori looks a bit more lively as she turns around, "Enro-san!  Focus on what's important.  And no, it's just magical water."  She cracked another one, offering the next bowl to Enro.
May 10 21:25:18 <Enro>   "... Magical water? So far, I haven't had much luck with magic anything. Giant frogs, remember?"
May 10 21:25:49 *   Enro takes the bowl none-the-less and swirls it a bit before sighing and drinking it down..
May 10 21:26:19 <Kotono>   Enro drinks it down! He feels momentarily warm, as...OOC: PM.
May 10 21:30:23 *   Noriko takes the next one. "I wonder if mother will scold me for interfacing with nonstandard programming again."
May 10 21:31:24 <Kotono>   Noriko drinks! She feels warm all over, like her electrical socket is full of juice, then...
May 10 21:36:04 *   Jin_ drinks as well, hoping he doesn't drop dead due to a bad expiration date or something.
May 10 21:36:08 <Aisutori>   "She'll probably also scold you for traveling to the other side of the world."
May 10 21:37:30 <Enro>   "Uh.. She.. Doesn't really need to know that much."
May 10 21:37:32 <Kotono>   Jin drinks up, feeling warm as...OOC: PM.
May 10 21:37:50 *   Noriko flexes an arm. "My destructive potential has improved."
May 10 21:38:50 *   Enro yawns mightily.
May 10 21:39:19 <Enro>   "I need to rest for at least a few more hours.. Once I feel well enough, I can get us all back to my apartment."
May 10 21:41:45 *   Aisutori nods.  "Actually...could we stay here a few days?  I don't think I'd be much good for at least that long if something attacked."
May 10 21:42:06 *   Enro blearily eyes Aisutori with a bloodshot eye.
May 10 21:42:41 <Noriko>   "I should make sure our departure has not caused greater problems," Noriko says, looking for a computer. Stories about a rampaging frog demon would surely leave a mark online! If there aren't any, things should be...well, realtively okay back home.
May 10 21:42:56 <Enro>   "I.. suppose. It'll draw attention from the neighbors and we don't have any money, though. If possible, could we stay inside? Or, at least, leave the house descreetly?"
May 10 21:43:17 *   Jin_ decides to track down a phone and let his family know he's not dead.
May 10 21:48:40 <Aisutori>   "I'm fine with that..."
May 10 21:49:02 *   Enro nods and stumbles to the couch, collapsing and trying to fall asleep.
