Business to Attend [Zackary]

There he is. Standasen. Shunnosuke never truly imagined he would step in such...abhorrent-looking place. Really, everywhere he landed his eyes on, there was something to disgust and make his stay more hard to withstand than it already was. Perhaps he should have thought twice about even thinking remotely this was a good idea, perhaps it was not late to regret that trip and turn his back, perhaps he should really have called Hyde to serve as a company in such a dangerous incursion to an outcast island — or in cruder terms, as a bodyguard. It didn't matter. Gladly, his outfit wasn't as outstanding as it usually is. Flat shoes weren't the most detailed and expensive, his jacket was far from being his favorite... Yes, Shunnosuke carefully picked a dressing code that while remains top-tier to the common sense, won't pose as too much of a loss in case he truly gets robbed. Considering who he's going to associate with, he had to be wary. Now, if only he knew where to find the man. "Zackary Dnubar" was the one he had to look for. A physical description along with names to match the face were nice and all, but useless when the mental image remains in the mental plan... Now, where to find him?, the teenager wondered as he walked across the streets, in a rather stand-off, cautious and tired posture. He had even visited "The Muggs" already — briefly, worth noting — and he was seriously getting tired of walking through a seemingly ghost town knocking every door when no one would come out of their houses to assist an innocent-looking and well-behaved teenager in their quest. Can't they realize Shun is only doing it to save them as well, darnit!? How long would this torture last...?

As the young man walked through the streets, a nearby rough looking young man was leaning on the wall, seemingly watching something, laid his eyes upon him, and for a moment looked very intrigued, until he figured a certain truth about the 'man' and shook his head, then he started to look a bit confused. What was a guy like him doing around, especially when most of the doors in this misty crap. "What are you doing here dude? You lost? Penecia is the other way if that's what you're looking for." Honestly, people were practically stupid at this point to walk in this mist. It didn't seem to be lethal, but most normal people played it safe and stayed inside or bailed out. But apparently others needed help from good ol' Darwin.

"What was he doing there?", he asked? Shunnosuke wanted to scoff at the guy, seriously considering to answer he was merely "passing by and enjoying the benefits of the purple mist upon his skin, perhaps it would earn him a tan for the beach season". Of course he knew where Penecia is, he came from there, for Gaga's sake! On a second thought, that wouldn't be wise, considering he's stepping in enemy's territory and dealing with a dubious character. What would that person do to him if the teenager struck his nerve? — ...Hello, mister. I'm searching for someone, Zackary Dunbar is the name I was told to search. Do you know where can I find him? — If there's a God out there, please end this suffering and make this man know something so he can end this quickly — or rather, be the one he's looking for. Would he be that lucky?

The man looked at him. His mood seemed to change, and he looked more anxious if nothing else. "What do you want to see him for? He's busy handling an island right now and other crap. Did you step into his turf or something?"

"Handling an island"? What's that supposed to mean? He didn't mind, anyway, as long as he could meet with this Zackary person quickly. — No, I need his help with an important task. Please, I've been searching everywhere, if you know his whereabouts, tell me, or if you can lead me to him, even better! — Shunnosuke's tone was almost pleading, highlighting the fact he was indeed tired of roaming around.

"Boy what are you even looking for? Not taking you to him without a reason." He definitely seemed to be growing impatient. He wanted to see Zach for no reason? As if! He better come up with a good reason to see him before he would do anything.

...urgh. Why did it have to be so difficult? And what's with that tone? Shunnosuke rolled his eyes, glancing at the man with equal impatience, clearly not satisfied at both the received tone and the way this is taking so long to be solved. — ...I might know a way to end this mist and the mess Azores is in, but first I need to meet a certain person of interest who might be a resident in Standasen, and I have reasons to believe Zackary might be of assistance. If he cares about the island as you implied he does, he would help me. Can I see him now or not?

The man looked at him, and sighed. "Fine, follow me." He said, leading him down the street and turning into an alley. Should Shunnosuke follow, he would continue walking deeper into the alleyway, leading him down several turns behind the old architecture, and stop at a metal door on the ground. Pulling some sort of key, he'd open the door and lift it up. "Go down and follow the path. I'll be walking behind you, so don't try anything stupid." Were Shunnosuke to comply, there would be a ladder going down and leading onto some underground path, that sounded too much like a sewer. It would lead down with darkness trailing behind...

Alright, it worked. Shunnosuke wasn't too comfortable to speak about these matters to civilians but if it was the only way to achieve his goals... Besides, it's not like they aren't aware of what has been going on, anyway. That said he would follow the unknown man, even if considerably wary. As the silence progressed their steps, Shunnosuke would never be more certain of one thing: Standasen was definitely not the place for him. — Follow your own advice and you don't try anything stupid, like threatening someone who could potentially put you in jail for things like that. — The guy had guts to threat him, geez. And the teenager perhaps lost any notion of danger when he defied the rough-looking gangster, but if there's something he wouldn't tolerate is being messed with. Mainly by people who clearly don't know who they're talking to. Anyway, he would take a deep breath and, hesitantly, climbed down the stairs. Was he really entering the district sewers? Was he really doing it for Azores? Once he was done, he'd wait at the end of the stairs, praying he wouldn't find any rat, cockroach. Even a horde of shadows would be tolerable, but not a horde of mice and other nasty animals...
