Well, this was most certainly an odd turn of events. One moment he was face-to-face with a god in a temple, trying to one him up and rehash things that he'd rather everyone forgot, and now-- Now he seemed to be outside enjoying a rather pleasant day at a... Beach?
Yes. This was most certainly odd. Last Cho Hakkai had recalled, there was no beach around for hundreds if not thousands of miles. And yet, here he was. It was a beautiful day, and the ocean seemed to stretch out until the horizon. It was stunning, really.
But that was not his concern at the moment. What was most important was that he collected himself and found out where he was and how he got here. Sighing out as he quickly stood up, brushing the wet sand from his clothes and readjusting the monocle along with his right eye before looking around.
At least there seemed to be people around? And... Robots as well? How strange.
Well, hopefully, someone here had some clue as to what was happening. So what better way than to ask... Right?
"Hello! Nice to meet you. ♥" Cho Hakkai seemed to have quite the pep in his step as he approached. Holding a calm and kind smile as he waved over towards you casually. "Do you mind if I ask you something?"
0I.
"I thought I sensed a large quantity of energy in this direction," There was a pleasant hint of surprise in Hakkai's voice as he approached the large tables of food being prepped. The interest in his expression was absolutely apparent as he looked over everyone hustling and bustling about in their aprons and swimsuits. It seemed a large quantity of food was being prepared for some reason, and his curiosity had gotten the better of him.
None of these were fish that seemed familiar to him, but surely there wasn't anything too different between the fish of this world and his, right?
"Do you mind if I ask what all this is for? It would seem there's quite a need for cooks considering all you have going on here."
II.
At first, Cho Hakkai would seem like the most unassuming person to end up in a situation like this. After all, he far from looked like anything special. But somehow, he managed to stand out just enough to catch the attention of the robots.
It sounded like a physical competition of some sort. And although hardly the type to show off, he couldn't help but think the idea sounded like fun. At least, that was what he thought until they told him about the mandatory wardrobe of nothing but a bathing suit.
Well, he wasn't exactly the most comfortable with his own body. But, if that was the way of the sport, then... Perhaps? Surely he wouldn't think about it too much the moment he started participating.
And so he stood on one side of the ring—- a young man with dark hair, a monocle, and a surprisingly lithe but fit body. The curve of his muscles was only secondary to the various scars that covered over them. The most apparent being large, fairly ugly-looking scar taking up the center of his stomach. His posture was straight but reserved as he stared over towards his first opponent.
"Ah, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that so many people would be excited to take part in such an unsafe activity. Well then, shall we?"
III.
A gift-giving ceremony, huh? How fun! Or, at least it would have been fun should he have known anyone. But he was still new to this land and couldn't think of anyone who would accept any gift from him.
And so, he had avoided the tradition despite having heard of it. Mostly keeping to himself. At least, until he found himself face to face with another person holding a curious-looking package out to him.
"Ah, oh, hello," Strange. This almost felt like the sort of situation one would experience during some valentines festival. "Um, is this suppose to be for me?"
