A Journey Across Terra

18

"Are we there yet?" A girl with light brown coloured hair and a pair of cat-like ears complained as she limply walked alongside her companions with her Katana betting dragged onto the floor with each step she took.

"Can you have some patience Utage!" A red haired Sarkaz girl exclaimed to the girl named Utage. "Doctor Kalt'sit said that they should at some pub called the Green Spark."

"But Vignaaaa. We've been walking since the sun came up though." Utage complained.

"Oh hush you, go bug Frostleaf."

"No." She crossed her arms. "You're more fun to annoy."

Vigna stopped in her tracks as she pointed her Red Bident (Two-pronged Trident) at Utage. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?"

"Whoops." Utage hid behind her second companion. "I may have said too much. Hehe."

The third person in the group began to speak up as she removed her headphones along with the beanie that sat on top the headphones before glancing at Utage with her Ruby irises and the looking back towards Vigna. "Vigna, just let her be. She's just messing with you."

"Yea-" Utage's celebration was cut short by the soft but stern voice of Frostleaf.

"And Utage, stop provoking her."

"But-"

"We're here."

The three Rhodes Islanders stood there in front of the entrance of a pub that had a sign on top that read 'Green Spark'.

"Let's go in shall we?" Vigna proceeded to open the entrance and allowed the other two to follow suit.

"Ah Yuki, could you get that. I must have forgotten to lock the front door." A woman's voice came from the back of the building.

"Yeah yeah." From around a corner walked out Yuki, his hair messy from just waking up. "Hello. The Green Spark hasn't opened yet. If you would so please leave the establishment it would be greatly appreciated." He said in a disinterested tone.

"Wait, we're from Rhodes Island. We are here to pick up Operator Coral to assist us in our delivery."

Yuki's eyes widened for a moment before returning to his tired expression. "Oh, you're the one's that I'm working with?" He yawned. "Hold on, just let me get ready." Yuki slowly walked back upstairs.

"What an odd guy." Utage muttered to herself.

"Hey! Be nice. Maybe he's just not a morning person." Vigna smacked Utage on the back of the head.

"Hey Yuki, who is-Oh! Long time no see. Miss Vigna, Utage, Frostleaf." It was now Quercus who had rounded the corner to see some familiar faces for her.

Upon seeing Quercus, Frostleaf took off her headphones. "Likewise, Miss Quercus. It is a pleasure to meet you again."

"So you're the ones who's gonna be workin with good ol Yuki eh?" From a shady corner of the pub sat W, her amber eyes glistening with interest. "Pleasure to meet you Rhodes Islanders. The name's W."

" 'W'...Why does that sound familiar?" Vigna rubbed her chin. But before she could ponder on that thought, Quercus took the three by their arms and brought them to a table.

"Come take a seat you three." Quercus gave them a welcoming smile as she rushed back into the kitchen. "It'll be a few minutes before breakfast is ready so sit tight."

It wasn't too long before W waltzed over and took a seat opposite of the three and began chatting with the three Rhodes Islanders.

"So, what's so important that you three got sent to collect some supplies?" W questioned.

"That's classified." Frostleaf shut W's questioning short before putting her headphones back on.

"Aww, why you gotta be such a party pooper." W said with mock disappointment.

"Because this is official matters within Rhodes Island."

"Boo, you're no fun. Susie's takin care of her mother, and Yuki's still hasn't fully woken up..." W Sighed before turning her attention to Utage. "What about you? Are you willing to tell me?"

Just as Utage was about to speak, Yuki came up from behind W and gave her a chop to the head.

"Stop antagonizing them." He said in a flat tone as he took a seat next to W.

"Fiiine." The Sarkaz crossed her arms.

"Sorry about her." He sighed. "Now, before we continue on, shall we do some introductions?"

"Of course! I'll go first!" Utage stood up happily as she placed a hand on her chest as she began her introduction. "The name's Utage, your average Higashian Student. Nice to meet ya." She gave them a giddy smile after finishing her introduction.

"Frostleaf. Former mercenary." Frostleaf gave Yuki a slight glance before going back to listening to her music.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name's Vigna I like...rock and roll." The red hair Sarkaz sheepishly scratched the back of her neck as she said the latter part of her introduction.

"Guess it's my turn, eh?" Yuki stated. "Operator Coral. Though you may also know me as the Serpentine Wanderer."

"Serpentine Wanderer?" Vigna had a confused expression on her face. "Why does it sound so edgy?"

"I dunno." The Pythian boy shrugged. Didn't come up with it."

"Uhmm. So anyways about the package." Vigna was cut short by a plate of food being placed in front of her.

"Business later. Breakfast now." Quercus smiled as she placed the rest of the food down.

"Thanks for the food, Quercus!" Utage wasted no time in taking her share of the food.

"No worries Utage eat up as much as you like."

"Alright, we're headin off." Yuki stood at the front door of the green Spark giving Quercus a thankful bow. "Thanks for everything."

"Don't worry about that. You're always free to come here whenever you want." Quercus chuckled.

Yuki then turned his attention to the Sarkaz who stood to the side of the building. "W, are you sure you don't want to come along?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I still got a job to get back to." W said nonchalantly. "Don't get too lonely. I wont be gone for too long, kay."

"...Okay?"

"Coral, ready to go?" Vigna walked up beside Yuki.

Yuki took one last glance towards Quercus and W. "Yeah, let's go."
