To Hell and Back

Part 19

Z- A few days would pass, 556 mostly keeping to herself and leaving the rest of the group to entertain themselves. However, today was a bit different, the submarine heading to the controls, and double checking everything, not turning to look at the group as she does, but still talking to them, not seeming to concerned "Are you ready to go, then? Everything together?"

S- It was a long few days of boredom waiting for the trip to end. Jarrod almost immediately perked up as did Neo when 556 asked if they were ready to go.

"Beyond ready! I take it we are close then?", Jarrod said.Despite knowing he was going into Russia's frigid climate it was almost worth it to Neo who literally had a pile of drawings near his bunk as that was how he entertained himself. Most were of Toki being a badass or Manny somehow ending Jarrod there was certainly a trend to his drawings.

Z- "Yeah. I take it all of you can swim, right? I can't exactly pull up to a dock to drop you off." She says, shrugging, and heads into the other room again, returning with the group's weapons and handing them out.

S- At the mention of swimming John went pale and cleared his throat.

"Ahem....so Richthofen.....I don't suppose....you would be willing to give us a lift to shore....the water is probably exceptionally cold anyway I'm sure Neo would have a very....bad reaction to that cold", John said not super enthusiastic about having to ask his old rival for help, but at the same time he did tell himself he would start cooperating a bit.

Neo actually looked a concerned about the water as well as well as the climate. He walked forward gently giving 556 a tap on the shoulder and showing her a note.

"I don't suppose you had any winter clothing stashed away with our weapons did you?", Neo asked softly before smiling upon seeing his Katana again.

Z- Richthofen glances at Neo, thinking a moment, before turning back to John. "... Yes, if it comes down to it, I will. No point in swimming if we don't have to."

"Sorry Neo, can't say I do, unless you wear my size. I have a spare greatcoat you can try, but I'm not sure it'll do much in this weather." she gives him an apologetic look, before heading off to fetch it, bringing it back and handing it to Neo.

Once their weapons are returned to them, Toki and Vlad check them over, making sure they're still fine. Richthofen, not really carrying anything aside from an older P08, mostly because the need for anything larger when you can shapeshift isn't exactly there, still checks it over, though clearly not as attached as Toki is to his katana or Vlad is to his own personal effects, now that he had his binoculars and an older Mosin–Nagant that looks like it may or may not be functioning, between its age and the corruption of the metal due to the Russian's handling of it.

S- John nodded in agreement seemingly relieved that he wouldn't have to swim or in his case sink like a rock.

"Alright good....probably for the better especially considering Neo won't be quite as tolerant of the cold", John said.

Neo seemed to sigh quietly, but nodded at 556. He wasn't about to mention that he probably could wear her size certainly not in front of Jarrod who would absolutely not pass up the opportunity to comment on his more....feminine frame. So he just took the greatcoat and put it on hoping for the best. If nothing else maybe one of Kara's contacts could get him something a bit more warm.
