Day 241 [Open] - The Starting Bell

[kuma_killer]

Who: Takamura Mamoru and ANYONE
Open: Yes
When: Day 241
Where: The Skywalk
What: Takamura found wandering the Skywalk
Format: Will Match
Warnings: Probably cursing.

The relative peace and quiet of the Skywalk is suddenly interrupted when a rather loud yell can be heard a short ways away.  Anyone who follows the sound will find a fairly tall man with black hair surrounded by a large group of squirts, some of which are clinging to his legs.  He doesn't appear to be hurt.  In fact, rather than fearful, the man looks to be enraged as he lashes out with his legs and fists at the small creatures around him.

"Get the hell off of me!  Oh you wanna piece of me too!  I'll crush every last one of you!"

It's fairly clear to anyone who is from the Bastion that this guy's a new arrival since his face isn't a familiar one.

Will you help him deal with the many small menaces surrounding him or continue to watch the show?

"That's not the point, I don't like being laughed at. Especially not by kids riding around on.....bushes."

He folded his arms over his chest as he gives Calem and his shrubbery a once over.

"Of course I was handling it. Shrimps like that would need another hundred years before they could hope to be a challenge for someone like me."

"Oh enough with the angry glaring. It's very unbecoming," he rolled his eyes. Gogoat snorted and stamped one of hooves against the ground. He was not a bush! He was a powerful and dashing steed! He was capable of making entire structures disappear within moments!

"In all seriousness though you should still be careful of those little guys when they come in hordes like that! If you were near the edge of one of the islands and you lost your balance... well that might be the end then."

[kuma_killer]

"Men aren't supposed to be becoming," he counters, still frowning at Gogoat.

"What, you gotta problem too? I'll prune the both of you down to size."

He'd actually noticed those precarious edges and wasn't keen on getting any closer to them then necessary and instinctively moved further away from the nearest one.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with Gogoat?" Calem looked at the ornery man in disbelief, shaking his head a little, "Unless you're one of those types that has superhuman abilities you wouldn't stand a chance against him. Don't tempt him either, he loves a good fight."

Gogoat loved a good fight enough that he would occasionally misinterpret some of the things his trainers said as a command to attack."

[kuma_killer]

"Your pet was trying to pick a fight with me."

How an animal that can't talk was doing that isn't relevant. He just knew.

"Heh, as if my awesome physique isn't evidence on its own of my superior strength! But I'll let you and your 'gogo' off easy if you tell me where the hell I am and how I can get down from wherever here is."

[chosenbylife]

`...He wasn't entirely wrong.

"Ah so you ARE new, huh?" Calem sighed. He had a sinking suspicion that was the case but he really hoped not. Telling people about the end of the world was never a fun thing.

...Maybe he could kinda skirt around the topic and let someone else be the bearer of bad news.

"You're in the Skyway right now. It's pretty distasteful in all honesty. Lot's of junk and monsters about. Though clearly nothing you and your mega muscles are unable to handle," he managed not to laugh this time around, "As for how to get down... well you kind of need to climb, jump or other wise hop, or just hope you can find a stable enough crossing from floating island to floating island until you reach the Bastion."

[kuma_killer]

Well, none of that really rung a bell, but it sounded like this Bastion was the place he needed to go so he nodded.

"Alright then, lead the way to the Bastion. Perhaps they'll be able to get me back. I gotta lot of important things to do."

Training to do, kouhais to torment, porn to read. The life of a champion has so many challenges.

[chosenbylife]

"Certainly! I know this part of the Skyway like the back of my hand!" he grinned. A slight exaggeration. Gogoat was simply an excellent navigator. He made sure Gogoat was taking a slow enough pace so Takamura won't have too much trouble keeping up. Even so Gogoat seemed insistent on picking up the pace little by little when Calem wasn't paying attention.

"Though I'm not so sure there will be any getting back for you when we get there," he explained with a little reluctance, "I believe you may be here for good."

[kuma_killer]

Takamura's roadwork usually consisted of running for miles with the coach behind him on a motorized scooter, so he should be able to keep up without too much trouble.

"What do you mean? If something brought me here, it should be able to take me back, right?"

[chosenbylife]

"Ah yes well the thing about that is..." he winced a little. He was just going to have to lay it all out here, wasn't he?

"Say I didn't catch your name!" he could delay for a moment or two at least, "I'm Calem."

[kuma_killer]

"Everyone just calls me Takamura." Well, everyone except family anyways, though there's none of them here.

"How far is this Bastion place?"
