Journalism Field Trip

[mitsumushi.livejournal.com]

Mitsumushi was waiting silently outside the library, a stem of flowers in one hand, almost dancing to and fro as she explored the hallway. She'd been here often enough with Abe no Seimei, but this was the first time she'd waited to guide anyone else.

Spotting the man she'd agreed to meet, she came to a graceful halt, smiling and waiting for him to approach.

Spider was in a relatively good mood this morning. Bag over his shoulder, he approached the pretty girl and gave her a smile. "Good morning, Mitsumushi. Thank you for agreeing to this."

"It was my pleasure," she told him softly, returning his smile. "When do you wish to leave?"

"As soon as my merry band of no-doubt heavily armed reprobates arrives," Spider told her. "Until then, all we have to do is wait."

Comments

Chloe gives Krycek and Jake an almost desperate look. "You're just determined to ruin my positive hopes for this treasure hunt, aren't you? Am I going to be glad that I put a knife in my bag?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"Do you know how to use it?" He asks, eyebrows raised slightly. "If not, then I hope you've got a first aid kit in case you stab someone accidentally." Krycek might actually be teasing somewhat, though it's hard to tell.

"Of course I know how to use it. I wouldn't have brought it if I didn't." Chloe smirks at him. "You're lucky you're not in my group - I might be compelled to just let the cannibals eat you if you were."

Krycek laughs, finally seeming to cheer up a bit. "Thanks! Glad I'm over with the muppet then."

[mycanonhatesme]

"You might want to be careful with him," Chloe says. "His idea of beating cannibals probably involves flooding the village."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Surprised, Krycek glances over at Scooter. "He's the one who managed the flood? We got caught in the weapons locker because of that."

He sips the last of his coffee and looks down into the cup, disappointed. "In any case, he can lead and I'll do what most seconds do: make sure no one gets killed."

Chloe looks at Krycek seriously, measuring him up after that last comment. "Somehow, I don't think that'll be a problem for you. Your group should be just fine." She breaks the look to glance at Jake, smirking softly. "I think Jake is going to be the second in our group. If we don't make it back alive, tell everyone that I'm going to miss them."

Krycek looks at Jake sideways, smirking as well. "Will do. But try not to get killed - the professor will probably unload all the paperwork on me."

Jake makes a face at both of them. "Your faith in me is touching, really it is."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"Did you come armed?" Krycek gives Jake a curious look.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Not unless you count the coffee. Brought a Swiss Army Knife though." Jake looks back. "You don't want me running around with a gun or something, do you? ...No, didn't really think so."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

He shrugs slightly. "You managed to not blow up anything but zombies with the shotgun. But a Swiss Army Knife's useful as well." Krycek looks thoughtful for a second. "...And I'm sure if coffee could be used as a weapon, you'd be the one to find out how."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"That was sheer luck, trust me on that," Jake says drily. She considers the concept of coffee as a weapon. "...Well, obviously, having the coffee will be an advantage in that I, Chloe and that George girl don't go mad with coffeine withdrawal."

[mycanonhatesme]

"We'll definitely be the most energetic group," Chloe points out. "That should help Jake and I stay alive for you. I'd hate to see what Professor Jerusalem's idea of post-mortem paperwork is."
