*Cold, alone, and ~~NAKED~~ sitting on the side of the road, Doctor Venture rubbed his head and stared forward blankly. He nodded once, and twice.. then a third time.*

Look is that all you came here for?! To just cut me-- Oh I get it.

*He reached into the pocket of his slacks and produced a pill compact. He shook a couple of his pills loose and popped them into his mouth. His eyes suddenly focused and he frowned, looking up and down the road before turning his attention to his wrist.*

Brock, come in Brock. Brock! I seem to have fallen out of a taxi, surely not on my own accord. Look, put the boys to bed and just swing by and pick me up in the X-1. BROCK?!

*he shook the communicator and stared at it for a moment, before letting out a loud sigh.*

Great and now this thing's out again. What next?

*He sat, frowning for a few moments, before he laboredly climbed to his feet and started to shuffle up the road toward Lahan, muttering to himself as he went.*

Maybe they've got something I can use to fix this damn thing.. Or at least an ATM.

Kento-san...ohhh what are you doing here? OH Um this is... ah...

I did not get his name!

Well, I didn't want to attract any unwanted attention.. or excite you too much, but I'm Doctor Thaddeus S. Venture, of course.

...Oh *Hanatarou gave another bow* I am glad to meet you then Venture-san. Oh um it is this way then!

*His smugness faded somewhat*

Yes yes, to the phone, then. *He followed, looking defeated and ever annoyed*

*AND KENTO FOLLOWED behind them. :D*

*Home was the direction he took them both. Past a duck farm and a few other buildings.*

*He pushed up his glasses, growing more worried... He checked his wrist, just in case.. Maybe he even whispered Brock's name into it.. Help, please. D:*

*Once they reached the gate Hanatarou had done well to lead them in but to the far left by a little man made pond was a young girl watching...a deer scare.*

*He made a disapproving sound and maybe muttered something impolite about asians when he saw the green-haired girl*

UZUKI-SAAAAN I AM HOME AND ALSO THERE IS A GUEST!! UZUKI-SAAAAN

*He hurried into the house to retrieve the man with the communicator.*

*A cat walked past them and stopped at Dr. Venture's foot, sniffing it before he hissed and growled up at him, his fur bristling.*

*He just walked right in, standing near the door, glancing around at the.. Whatever it was. It certainly didn't SEEM like the home of a scientist.

BUT THEN he looked down at the cat, and attempted to nudge it away* Uh.. good kitty, stay away from the doctor.. Shoo shoo!

*HE HISSED AGAIN and leaped up, latching himself to his thigh with his claws.*

AHHHHHH WERECAT! *He dropped to the floor and began rolling, as if on fire*

*SGFHJF OH GOD THE WEIGHT ON TOP OF HIM, he soon let go and scampered away.*

*He sat up, straightening his glasses, and shaking his fist in the direction the foul beast disappeared* That will teach you to hinder science!

DUZELL. ...Ah forgive him. He means no harm... It's the only way he can sustain a humanoid form. *Jin hurried over the moment he saw the man rolling about. Now he was offering the stranger a hand.* Hanatarou tells me you are looking for a phone? While I do not have one here if you know the frequency you wish to contact I have equipment that may work just as well.

*He attempted to smugly ignore the help.. But his antics had maybe dislocated a hip... or at least bruised it.. So he took the other man's hand to pull himself up.*

A human form.. I see... *He pretend to adjust his glasses and looked the man up and down* I thought your specialty was robotics.. At least that's what your son said.. But you dabble in genetics? Though I fail to see how a shapeshifting cat could benefit the community...

*Jin blinked... ...before piecing that together and laughing.* AHAHAHAHA oh dear no no... I am not a mechanic. I am nothing but a humble doctor. *And sometimes bookseller... and cook... and soldier... and pilot... and telemarketer.*

But please come in. Hanatarou has started some tea and I will get the communicator for you.

A doctor.. *He seated himself to wait, removing his watch, to at least get the compound's frequency, as he hadn't actively used it since he had programmed it*

Yes well... It is a not as useful any longer but in these isolated areas it has come in rather handy. *He nodded and left him in the company of Kento and the greenhead*
