Hey, I got a question.

Is there any place that people do anything like... paragliding or anything like that?

... Paragliding?

Hrm. Well, there's this really nice lagoon that's an excellent meditation spot!

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Eh, sorry. Not really what I'm lookin' for. I don't think meditation's gonna snap my friend out of this funk he's in.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

... Greg, right?

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

... you know him?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Mhm! I fixed him up when he got attacked by Shademan! I'm Hikari-Kyoyama Hoshi... er, Hoshi Hikari-Kyoyama!

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Nick Stokes.

I... take it Shademan had to do with the incident that earned him that nice shiner?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He got cut on his back, and I think his friend, Onizuka, decked him a nice one.

Hmm... I could see if one of my other friends -- Luke Skywalker -- can come over and help out! I'll bring, um... food! Food's always great to share with people when they're down in the dumps!

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

... Luke Skywalker? Seriously?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

He seems to be really, really popular here! His father's here, too -- Darth Vader! They seem to be really well-known too!

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

... wow. That's- ... wow.

*giggling* He keeps getting surprised by things! It's funny!

Shush, Cassie.

Uh, if you wanna come over, sure. Dunno how much good it's gonna do. I can tell he's trying to feel better, but... well, if you know him you know what's goin' on.

I used to do Paragliding back in Vegas. It's a pretty good rush. I was kinda hoping there was something like that here and I could drag him along.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to, and I'll even try to help with the kids! And, yeah, but... really, all he can do is have hope that she'll return. ^_^ I know it might sound a bit silly, but it's worked for me!

... well, I can fly, same as Tailmon when she's evolved to Angewomon.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

I'll have to take your word for it. Greg's been through a lot of crap, but he's always bounced back. This time, though? ... I'unno. I've never seen him this down before.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

... Mm. I see.

[she sounds just a bit melancholy herself, but is trying to mask that]

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Well...

Way I see it. Nothing stays bad forever. Life keeps moving on, and he's got his family. That's gotta count for something.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Yeah, family's one of the biggest strengths anyone can have...

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I gotta admit, I'm a little surprised. Back home, we were a team, yeah, but I don't think Greg was ever that comfortable with the thought of us being like a family. I guess something happened here to change his tune.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Heh... you guys have a pretty big family, I can tell. But... it's a strong one, nonetheless.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

It is. I admire his uh... what'd she say... 'sister'? Haku, the one with the white hair. Quiet girl, but she's got an inner strength that's pretty damn admirable.

... is she really an android though?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Mhm. Miku, Haku, Rin, Len, and Nigaito are all androids.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Huh. That's... impressive. I mean, Japan just came out with their own fully-mobile android that can speak, blink her eyes and smile, but it's no where near what those guys are. I couldn't even tell she was an android when she answered the door.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Technology's really something, but I have little of it back where I live.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Where's that?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Fukuoka, Japan, in the Asakura District. I live in the Hikari Village.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Can't say I know where that's at, but if it's a village I can see how you wouldn't have much technology.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

We've basically refused to modernize.

Although, going to America was really something.

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

Actually there's this cliff I got thrown off once...what designates a good Paragliding spot?

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Well, just about anything that's got a good updraft, 'cause that's what carries you.

Problem is, even if I find a spot, I still need equipment.

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

Where you at? There are shops for anything so long as you know where to look. Even Tetha has a sporting goods store.

Anyway if you need strong updrafts I'd suggest the dessert. I got my ass kicked by a biohyrbid out there once.

[Attached: Lightpost data]

I think there were some good cliffs north of that lightpost...my memories a little hazy.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Neon, at the... Hyperion Inn? I think that's what it's called.

[Attachment recieved]

Desert, huh? Heh, that works. Vegas is in the Sierra-Nevada Desert, and I did Paragliding out there. Thanks.. ah... sorry, didn't catch your name.

Noir Mendetta, detective.

Nick Stokes, CSI. ... ex CSI I suppose. Nice t' meet ya, Noir.
