Sand In My Shoes(Roc,Morri, Chidos, open too?)

[tehinferno]

Yuu smiled as he skipped through the dessert. Knowing that Damaso was a pickaxe, and that they were broke, he figured that they should go look for treasure. Was there any better place too look? Of course there was!

"Damaso...I hate this place!" The dessert was hot, and the amount of sand blowing around, and getting on him only made him more upset. Though he kept his normal fake smile plastered on his face like he was some sort of punk rock Ken doll, he was really pissed.

Yuu hadn't done his nails today, so he was stuck with yesterday's nail polish. Even though it was ridiculously hot, he had chosen today to wear his striped fingerless gloves. Though this wasn't the greatest idea, he figured it was better than anyone noticing his nails.

Making his way to a spot that he figured was suitable enough, he began to look around it. He had no idea how to start on this treasure hunting stuff. It was as if this was some sort of science...Or even worse. Yuu feared that this might involve more physical labor than he had hoped for.

Thinking to himself, he remembered that Damaso used to be a miner. Knowing this he figured that he'd be able to completel this task rather quickly, but then he remembered that Damaso would have to be in weapon form as well for this to work. Not really knowing what else to do he climbed on a rock to continue thinking.

"What can I do...?" He had attempted to whisper to himself, but he didn't really suceed. The words he spoke were rather loud, though this was without his realization. While this was the case, something had dawned on him when he said that. Damaso could increase his own strength...So he figured that he should use that to his advantage.

"Damaso...If you could break this rock...Then we could use that to kill bigger animals...And then we could eat them!" Yuu thought about what he had said for a moment, and shook his head. "No...That won't work.." He became frustrated because he usually had better ideas, and he couldn't figure this out. It was probably the blazing heat...The sun seemed to be laughing at him. He grew more frustrated as he realized that he would have to work.

[Rocton]

Another day in the desert, sands after sand, dunes upon dunes, and heat with a slight chance of hot. It was the closest to home to Rocton than any other place although some nice shade wouldn't hurt.

It had been a home that Roc hadn't visited in quite a while though, having been roped by Ashley into running around Death City looking for shiny things. At first the meister complied with the Demon Minigun's request simply to show he would be considerate but it had gotten to the a point that Ashley and Locco would drag Rocton to just about anywhere. In response, the crafty meister had managed to convince his partner that there was a secret oasis in the desert filled with candy and bunnies and that they only had to search for it with a heart full of joy for them to find it.

It was all a lie of course, meant to twist Ashley's wishes into letting Roc go back to visit his sweet desert friend in what would otherwise been a noisy loud week spent among the citi limits.

He came dressed in a large white desert cloak with a brown burlap bag over his should containing provisions and some food. A nice cold soda was in his right hand as he climbed up another dune and looked side to side in pure bliss of a tranquil quiet vast sea of dust. In his left was the everpresent Sally, the cold metal inanimate heirloom of the meister's past. Always loaded and ready.

He took the moment to let the sand being kicked up by the wind over the dune sprinkle his face as he spoke back to his smaller partner behind him

"How are you faring back there little buddy?

On a usual day, Ashley would avoid trekking into the desert. Then again, to him this wasn’t a usual day. When his partner had come to his home and blabbered about their being an oasis of bunnies and sweets in the desert, it was against Ashley’s nature not to follow Rocton. He was gullible, and he didn’t know that, so it was only easy to take advantage of him in that sense.

He would follow Rocton this time, the promise was too good to be true but he hoped it was true. There was nothing he loved more than bunnies. Rabbits were, to him, perhaps the paramount of animals in the world, if they had the right temperament, you could hug them till the sun exploded. Like usual, he carried his fluffy friend in his arms, worrying about the heat. He waved his cap in front of her to keep Locco cool, petting her gently and fussing her long ears.
They were an odd pair, it was to be said internationally. A seventeen year old boy and a lop eared bunny of quite large proportion. The rabbit had its lead on like usual, the loop around her owners wrist.

Ashley paused before replying to Rocton. “I’m alright. Why’d you chose to tell me about this oasis now? It’s really hot out here.” He complained to best he could. He regretted wearing his long white jacket, although he still found the colour very relaxing, and the pink lining helped cheer him up whenever he looked at it. Like his meister, he was dressed all in white, even his jeans were white this time, and not the light blue they usually were. His face, however, was red as tomatoes. “When are we going to find it, Roc! I came out here as happy as a happy person, and I haven’t seen it yet.”

Suddenly it occured to him...Yuu had lost his weapon. Damaso wasn't following him at all. The poor guy was most likely lost somewhere in this obnoxiously hot desert. Knowing Damaso, and how forgetful he was, he was most likely wandering somewhere. Or simply sitting and staring into space. Yuu began to feel bad that he was complaining, and not worrying about him, but this soon subsided when he realized that it meant Yuu had to do the work himself.

"Damasssooooo!!!"Yuu began to shout in a feable attempt to find him. "If you don't come out you won't get any dinner!" Knowing that food was usually what caught his attention, he figured that this would at least wake him up enough so that he stopped daydreaming. Yuu walked back along the path that he had taken to get here, and still there was no sign of the pickaxe.

Yuu stared back further on his way on the path, and he couldn't see anything, because of the blazing sun. It had become a nuisance, and he was more than sure that it was actually laughing at him. Though a stroke of luck happened to find its way to him. He saw that a rather tall looking figure seemed to be coming from the direction of the city. Damaso was tall, so this might be him. Running at a faster pace than usual, he slowly got closer to him, but as he did he noticed that in front of him was obviously not Damaso.

"Hey! I'm Yuu Kaneko, and I'm-" Yuu abruptly stopped, as he realized that the heat was a lot worse than he thought. Coming out to the desert without anything to drink was a really terrible idea. Though, Yuu tried to keep his pride, and continued what he was going to say. "I'm looking for my friend." Luckily he manage to choke this out, or else he'd seem weak in front of these new people.

[chidos]

Damaso wondered, wondering where Yuu was, he sighed at the thought that yuu might've gotten into a fight, then was re-assured by the fact that he did he nails today, and would not want to get them dirty in the slightest. He thought about the plans they had for the day, only to realize he couldn't remember what plans they had. He decided to keep searching and keep to himself about the fact that he forget almost everything Yuu said, he would be angry if he knew about it. I mean, afterall, what did damaso actually say that was so important, his job was to be a weapon , he picked up himself, standing straight up and walking with authority with the newfound will power to find Yuu, he knew it wasnt going to be easy, that is, until he heard his named called by Yuu, he was caught off guard, mainly because the voice had come from not far behind him.

" Y-Ye " He started to yell in a higher tone than his usual voice, before being interrupted by his other sentence, at the word of dinner, he was already dashing his way towards the direction of the voice, with a smile on his face, unusual for him, he ran at his full sleep, leaving a deep trail of sand behind him, he saw him in the distance, but his smile was slowly wiped away from his face as he saw multiple figures.

He slowed down to ensure he didn't bring too much attention to himself, and walked up behind Yuu, towering over him as he put his hand on Yuu's head, re-reassuringly that after everything is over they would be going to a buffet.

" Sorry..I'm here now. " He said, smirking
