(OOC: I edited my original post and added parts of Digital.ps' post for continuity reasons.)
Choi Jin-Sang, Ezra Underhill, and Okada Sasaki
Choi, Ezra and Sasaki watched and listened as John looked over to the hunter, his face into the bar. "I'm not looking to save him. I'm looking to save the girl he dragged in here" he turned to look at the doctor who came up to him "I don't have time to debate about this with you, I need you to take me to the hospital and let me into the supply closet. If you don't help, I'm going to go and break into it anyway, but that will create much more of an ordeal."
Choi wasnât too happy about the thought of letting the man die or breaking into the hospital for this person. It was la bit of a dig on his integrity as a doctor. He was very upset about this whole ordeal. He was robbed of his humanity, possibly of his job and life. Would he be reduced to drinking processed blood in a bar and stealing supplies from his hospital for other vampires like John? Choi didnât answer yet.
"If it werenât for the hunters we could always drag him outside and finish him off.â John heard one of the other women say as he had walked up to the bar. "Allow me to do that for you." With this he walked up to the half dead hunter, grabbed him by the back collar of his shirt, and pulled him off the bar stool, he landed on the ground with a *Thump*. As John pulled him outside a younger hunter stood up and started reaching for his gun. John stopped and looked him in the eyes "Don't. This is better for both sides" and continued.
Ezra was terrified of what was about to happen to the half dead hunter. He clung to Sasakiâs arm, as he seemed to be a neutral and safe guy to cling to. Ezra felt like the world had gone to Armageddon while he was locked away in his flat the whole year. There were vampires and werewolves, hunters and Ghosts like him. It was all overwhelming. Ezra knew he wouldnât leave Sasakiâs side, if he did heâd be too afraid to move at all.
John got to the door, opened it and rolled the man out onto the sidewalk, turned his head halfway back to the bar with the doctor and said "C'mon, if you want to save someone's life." Letting the door slam behind him, John unsheathed his katana and put an end to the hunter's misery, his head rolled into the street.
Choiâs eyes widened in shock as John dragged the dying hunter outside and killed him. Choi didnât care for this manâs attitude and disregard for the life of the hunter at all. The hunter was supposedly a bad man but still he was living and life should be preserved. However Choi couldnât accept the fact that he was now technically considered dead and not living. That was hard to handle. It was too late to do anything for the hunter but perhaps he could help the girl. Choi turned to Sasaki and said, âI will help. I will go to the hospital with them. Please come with me.â
Sasaki replied with a smile rubbing Choiâs shoulder, âYou didnât have to ask love.â He then turned to Ezra and said with a gentle smile, âYou my ghostly friend should tag along to. I donât really see you hanging about here.â
Ezra nodded in agreement after scanning the bar one more time. âAfter all of this would you mind taking me to my home? Iâm a bit afraid to go back there alone. I bet this sounds really stupid of me.â Ezra asked timidly.
Sasaki replied calmly, âNot at all. Donât you fret. Weâll stick with you all the way. Besides, Iâm interested in knowing how and where a ghost lives.â Sasaki chuckled. He liked Ezra. Ezra gave Sasaki the impression of a gentle and non-threatening guy, one you could trust.
Sasaki, Choi and Ezra headed outside and followed John and Keira. Sasaki took a moment to ask Ezra about his situation. He found out that Ezra had been living alone in his old flat for a year since he died. Usually ghosts only exists for a moment before crossing over to the afterlife. However, every now and then one does not pass over due to unfinished business. It was then that Ezra spotted an flash of light. Anyone that was not human or technically alive would have seen it. The dead hunter was not a ghost. He stood there next to his lifeless decapitated body looking very angry. The huge ghost fumed with rage as he glared at John. â
âYOU FUCKING CHOPPED MY BLOODY HEAD OFF!!!â the Hunterâs ghost screamed in rage. Before he could do anything a large metal door appeared on the wall outside of the Penumbra bar. It was the Hunterâs door to the afterlife. He turned toward the door in confusion and opened it.
âExcuse me Miss. You shouldnât look into that doorway. Youâre a living being. Looking into death will reap bad things onto your life.â Ezra warned Keira not to look into the door. He had never had an encounter with a doorway to death before but for some inherent reason he knew to warn her. Perhaps some things just came naturally to ghosts.
The ghost of the hunter opened the door, flipped John off, and walked through it. Ezra could see and feel the darkness on the other side. The Hunter would not be going anywhere good it seemed. The door faded.
Ezra, Sasaki and Choi hurried to catch up with John and Keira as they headed to the hospital. It was then that they overheard John's plan.
"It'd probably be a good idea to explain to you what my plan is." John said, looking over to Keira. "Plan A is that the doctor comes with us, when we get to the hospital he brings you in and takes you straight into an emergency room, and I follow. Plan B is if he doesn't come with, we'll go in and immediatly ask for someone to take us to an emergency room."
John continued. "Whichever happens, my cover up is acting as your concerned boyfriend, and once we get a room, I'm going to go and find the supply closet and steal some blood bags. Plan C is if something screws up and our cover is blown. Your main priority will be making it outside to the front of the hospital until I get out there, from there we go to the apartment." John turned to start walking to the hospital "C'mon, we gotta walk fast."
Choi was not at all happy to hear what exactly John had planned. He almost stopped dead in his tracks. However Sasaki gave Choi a nudge forward so that he'd continue on. "Remember, this is more for the young lady that hunter killed than your need to continue being a doctor. I don't feel this vampire means any disrespect toward your job but he wants to help the lady that been wronged regardless of the consequences. Just keep your eyes on the prize here and the other things won't bother you. Don't worry love I and our ghost friend here are right beside you all the way." Sasaki was sure to give Choi a gentle and warm smile, it usually helped him feel at ease.
The group caught up to John and Kiera. âAlright. Iâm not a fan of stealing from my place of work but Iâll help you for the sake of the young lady. What are her general health concerns, do you know? It helps so that Iâll know what supplies to gather.â Choi asked John.
