Mediterranean Sea, Near Malum IslandThe cold wind breeze keep hitting Jackie face as she breath in that salty sea smell.
She runs toward the front of the boat and look out of the froggy horizon
"Can you feel the adventure, Ji?" Jackie say to her partner
"I can basically taste the action we are going to face!""Only thing I can taste is salt." Ji-ho walked up to stand next to his partner, both elbows resting on the railing as he leaned over it with a bored expression on his face. The Demon lighter followed Jackie's gaze towards the horizon, but for the life of him couldn't see whatever it was that excited her so; seemingly endless blankets of fog surrounded the ferry on all sides, preventing them from even seeing the waves lapping at the side of the vessel, let alone anything interesting.
"I'll be happy once we reach the island. Summer vacations are supposed to be warm and sunny, not wet and foggy.""Yeah, me too" Jackie say, as she look over the cold sea, Jackie see something in the distance, it looks a island! Jackie was about cheer but as they move forward little more, JJ and her partner look at the island and it gets more and more depressing.....And little uneasy
"Um....This is the right island....Right?""Who knows." There was something a little off about it, but it wasn't Ji-Ho had any reason to think they had taken a wrong turn somewhere and there was nothing they could do about it if they had. Besides, anywhere that the DWMA set up shop was bound to be a little creepy. A glance to the side however showed that their teacher-escort was similarly concerned about something; that might have been cause for concern had that not been her natural state.
A bell rang on the ferry to announce their arrival, the boat pulling up to the dock as the fog began to clear as if on cue.
"At least the sun's out now. This is the kind of weather I'd expect from a Mediterranean island." Pushing away from the railing, Ji-Ho raised his arms above his head and stretched his body out.
"We should get ready to leave."Jackie get off the boat like everyone else
"Well, if this island has stage, I can totally wake up this place!" Jackie say a lot with pride in her voice
"I mean, nothing can go wrong right?!"
Malum Island, near the water fountainSomething have gone wrong. Jackie, Ji-Ho and all other students, watch in pure shock that their once human teacher, Mrs.Opal, turn into a sheep. JJ walks toward the sheep, pick up Opal glasses and put them back on her sheep face
"Um...There. What? She still need glasses to see, human or not....Right?"Barely five minutes into their summer holiday/very serious mission and things had already taken a turn for the weird. Something had felt off about the island from the moment it had come into view and right now Ji-Ho was regretting dismissing Jackie's concerned so easily; from the out of place vegetation to the glassy-eyed and strangely dressed locals to a water fountain that apparently turned people into farm animals her unease had been validated and them some. They'd seen some weird stuff hunting people on Shinigami-sama's list but this really set a new standard for strange; Ji-Ho would almost think witches were involved, with everything that was happening, but they were supposed to be on their side now.
The reactions to the teacher transmogrification where varied, from the guy who tried so hard to prevent panic that he sounded panicked himself, to disbelief, exasperation and finally a call to action. Ji-Ho's own reaction was one of stunned silence and confusion soon followed by growing impatience and a desire to stop talking and start taking action. Curse water fountain, weird locals, don't eat the food, watch out for spies; got it.
"Let's get moving then; the sooner we get out of this town the sooner we can talk this out and figure out what we're doing.""Ok! Right behind ya!" Jackie say to her partner. Jackie about to go with her fellow classmates but she stop at tracks and look at sheep teacher, thinking that she doesn't want to leave her teacher behind, Jackie pull out a candy bar out of her pocket and try to make the teacher
"Come on, Mrs.Opal, come get the candy and follow the class" JJ say to the teacher
"We don't want you to turn into lamb chops by these town people, now don't we?"
