[A]

A boat has just pulled into Venture City's harbor. There isn't really anything special about it; it's just a freighter from Brazil. Most of its cargo is nothing to write home about. Yet this ship has pulled into the harbor with one unexpected passenger--a wild-looking young man clad only in a loincloth held up by a weird-looking belt. He's got an oddly ornate silver bracelet encircling his left bicep, but other than that, he appears to have nothing of value.

The young man wastes no time in jumping off the ship and scrambling onto the docks when the coast is clear. He's moving furtively now, running between piles of cargo crates as he tries to make his way to the city unseen. He's got a job to do, and he doesn't know if there are any enemies lying in wait for him.

Amazon has made it into the city at this point, and he is now regretting all of his life decisions. The lights! The noise! It's too much for the wild man to take in all at once, and he's now running through the city, looking for safety. He doesn't appreciate being approached--civilians he's accidentally run into are getting growled at and shoved aside as he runs away. Anyone who actively approaches him may be treated in much the same way, unless they're very careful about it. He's trying to make his way to a forest or park, though he couldn't really describe it that way. He just wants somewhere less bright and noisy.

[Venture City's park was a pretty big place. If Eiji ever had to compare it to another the first that came to mind was Shinjuku's own park back home in Japan. But that was good since with all of the large space meant there were a lot of places he could set up a temporary living space at. So that was what he was currently doing in an area that was a little way's away from any paths the park had running through it.]

Even a near-naked man at cargo'o'clock wouldn't have fazed Honey if he hadn't ran near a Very Special Place on the docks. (The Very Special Place, of course, is not marked by anything denoting it as such, but it's special, okay!! It just is!)

"Hey! Get away from there!"

Usually Joji avoided the docks during the day. He was someone that operated better at night anyways, and the hustle of the workers did not help him in acquiring items that he might need in his work. But today he had to visit the docks and talk to one of the captains over cargo they might not even know what it was for before they did something stupid with it, so there he was, the object in question now secured inside a cage of energy before stuffed into a bag. With his business done, he was going to leave but then he saw the half-naked beastman go running through the people, looking very much like an extra from some cheesy B movie.

Shaking his head, Joji probably would have left without stopping the guy, but then a bit of information came to mind. He moved in closer to get a better squint at the fellow and thus he was standing right in Amazon's way, head tilted to the side and eyes covered by his sunglasses.
