The blonde boy started at the sound of the voice, nearly falling over as he whirled around to face them. The other stifled a laugh before turning his attention to the adults, while his partner stood and dusted himself off in an attempt to hide his shame.
"Only, like, ten frigging years," the dark-haired boy replied, his tone partially irritable and partially teasing.
"It's been about 45 minutes," the other corrected, flashing a glare in his friend's direction. "So not too long, really."
"Whatever, that's at least a decade in this heat. Theory of relativity, yo."
The blonde boy rolled his eyes. "Ignore him. He says things that are wrong on purpose." He ignored his partner muttering in the background, something about "ruining the enigma." The blonde one paused, looking the adults over. "So... you must be Ms. Eivlyn and Mr. Cyans." He extended a hand. "I'm Dyson Stein, and this is my meister, Shinigami."

"Mika is fine." The man replied with an apologetic smile. He dipped his head as he shook the boy's hand. "Sorry, that paperwork took a lot longer than I expected. Especially since I was interrupted every other minute. This is Reia, my meister."
The woman nodded and gave a small wave hello upon being mentioned. "You two made sure you have everything all packed and ready to go?" She checked. She had everything -both hers and Mika's things - on a bag over her shoulder. Red hair tied up in a bun resting behind a pair of sunglasses, light-weight but covering clothing to protect her from sunburn and sand, she was ready to set out. She had been ready the entire time Mika had been finishing his obligations to find a sub.

Shinigami shrugged. "Don't really need anything, do we? We'll be back in a day and I'm sure we can find a Burger King or something in Brazil. Or, ya know, whatever Portuguese for 'Burger King' is."
Dyson nodded, though he stopped to pick up a small back that had been sitting on the ground next to him. "I brought a change of clothes as well, but Shinigami is an animal."
"If my clothes get torn up it's just genre," he put in. "Isn't that what all the cool kids have nowadays? Why pay $80 for ripped jeans when I can get disemboweled by an actual-"
"The point is, we're ready to go," Dyson interrupted. "Please, before I strangle him."
(I am resisting having Shinigami make an inappropriate joke so much. I am literally in pain)

(My honey just got home from work (We work at the same place) and he's super tired X3)(Anyway do we want to cut travel or just play bits of it?)
"Alright. It'll just be a while until we actually get there. You have a gameboy or phone game or something to keep yourselves entertained? I don't think out flight has wifi or any other nice things. Kind of an older plane." Reia said, passing over their tickets. "The bus will be at the station in about twenty minutes, so we should head out now if we want to catch it."
Mika nodded in agreement. "We can pick up bug spray and stuff when we get there."

Shinigami snorted at the mention of a gameboy. "Yeah I brought my Atari too. Pong's gonna be li- ow!" Dyson had nudged him not-gently in the ribs with his elbow, glowering.
"Yeah I'll keep him entertained, don't worry about it," Dyson replied, as if he were talking about babysitting a toddler. A comparison which, all things considered, was not entirely inaccurate. However, it was Shinigami's turn to glare.
(yeah we can skip forward if you like. I'm not sure how entertaining the travel will be XD)

(sounds like a plan! And don't feel bad if you gotta tap out for the night lol. Life happens, and it's more important than anime roleplay XD even if it is just watching a TV show with your SO)

(Nah, it was just an episode of My Hero. Lemme get up the response)
After they'd gotten done with the majority of their travels, Mika had made sure to stop and pick up a few cans of bug spray, a bottle of sunscreen (more for Reia than for him since he had much darker skin), a few dry snacks that would last on the road, and an extra pack of batteries for their electronics. He just wanted to avoid needing something and not having it in an emergency. He wasn't too worried about how the students would fair since their teacher had seemed to believe they were up to the task. Reia seemed overly eager to get to the site and start working, so he was a bit concerned she'd make mistakes as they went. Even so. It was a really nice area. The only thing he really missed about field work was getting to travel. He didn't really miss the fighting, or the suspicion of anything that might be around, but the travel part was nice.

The bus and subsequent plane ride was mostly uneventful. Shinigami played on his phone most of the time, while Dyson alternated between books, his phone, and various handheld games. The two chitchatted all the while, occasionally delving into juvenile arguments that generally resulted in toddler-like slap-fights. Once the flight landed, however, their mutual demeanor shifted somewhat.
Though they still argued like a married couple, both were alert and aware of their surroundings, gauging the small details such as weather or number of civilians in an area like this. The two waited outside while Mika bought some stuff at a store, Shinigami complaining about mosquitoes the entire time.
(sorry it's short)

(Sorry I was gone so long. I'm gonna start trying to post again this upcoming week.)
As Mika rejoined the group, Reia offered a slow, sarcastic clap, earning her a sour look from her partner. "Great, you've got everything. Let's get going."
"Yeah, yeah, for all the snark you give, you'll appreciate the extra supplies later on." Mika replied, adding the bag to the contents of his backpack and starting to walk.
The airport was actually fairly closed to the untamed lands where they'd be heading, so a quick walk across the last of the cement and sidewalks and they were quickly left facing the wilds. Overgrown tangled trees and and overlapping canopy covered pretty much all of the lower ground from direct sunlight. From what he remembered of their mission layout, it was at least a few hours' hike to the actual sight where beasts were said to be roaming rampant.
