Reminding himself of the words of that message. [color=0072bc][i]"You'll hear this, you always do."[/i][/color] Why did that bother him so much? A slight head peered on his corner and he shook the thought off, a slight sigh escaped him. Free time was a rarity around, and to be honest, not something he did quite often. Opening the door to his room, Hiro didn't seem to find any of his comrades around. The place was empty and the halls were silent, his hand makes its way towards the back of his head, attempting to figure out what to do with his time. Maybe spent it actually trying to do something instead of lazing around or... more studying. His eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of something to do to spend his time. A flick of his fingers reflected the thought which protruded on his mind, he ran towards his closet and changed immediately, began to dig through a small compartment, placing a couple of items in a bag. Making sure one, twice, three times that he had everything he wanted he headed out to the Taiyoujima Water Park... Hiro was... different. Hell, perhaps odd could easily depict much of his mannerisms and actions in daily life. He didn't make friends easily, that was first but more so than that he like to keep to himself. So, witnessing a boy who's wearing those orange glasses, a sleeveless hoodie that hasn't been zipped up to it's peak exposing a small percentage of his chest, some old dirtied converse with no socks and shorts that barely scrapped the knees was enough to show that Hiro didn't seem to care much for his appearances. The only thing that seemed above average was his backpack. A teal colored surface with a patch on it's left that read "ELEMENT 1987", bright red accented patterns adorning its edges with a strong lace coiling in zigzag at the epicenter. He wasn't planning on meeting his skin with the water, neither was he there expecting to see or meet anyone in specific, but if anything he wanted to test drive this new machine he managed to buy at a special last week. A smile plastered itself on his mien as he placed his bag on the ground pulling a remote control and a plane from his bag, a few steps farther into the sand and he turned on the machine and started to pilot it with his remote control attempting to understand its movements. You would think, Hiro as a Linker would've managed to understand the machinations of this contraption in a couple of seconds, but the furrow of his brow was now present, and visible on his features. The machine was a bit clunky and the reaction times were all over the place. Maybe a little bit of air, would suffice, maybe a little more turn... [color=00a99d][i]"D'accord, that is it. I am going to take my sunglasses off, and if by the time my eyes adjust to the glare- which will be around seven seconds, give or take- if you are still here I am going to bury you up to your head in the sand"[/i][/color] [color=1a7b30]"Why do I suddenly feel great animosity and murderous intent incoming?"[/color] Not even a second passed before some kids, ran and bumped into Hiro, causing him to lose the grip of his remote control and making the machine fall and crash near a couple of people. Hiro rushed towards it's direction, picking it up from where it now stood noting that its pieces broke and its wings was now severed. [color=1a7b30]"C'mon... I just got this too..."[/color] Disappointment began to ran across his system, but that was quickly removed the moment he rose his sights and witnessed two girls standing right before him. You see, in battle, everyone was sort of the same person to him. It was all about survival and instinct, planning and execution. There wasn't a moments time where he needed to be aware of the trivialities of life. Right now... it wasn't one of those times. [color=1a7b30]"L-L-Lucia..."[/color] Lucia was also accompanied by another girl too, one that similarly seemed to overtake his line of sight. He didn't know when it started, he didn't really know how to stop it. But right there it was, the toad on his throat begging to get out. [color=1a7b30]"This! Oh, uhh, it's for my little brother is all. Uhhh, I was just, uhh testing it! Yes, that's what it was..."[/color] He turns his sights to the sky, trying to avoid eye contact whilst hiding the toy behind his back.
