for an Academy Starter

          For Jotaro, his class was dismissed only an hour ago and yet he still had yet to leave the room he’d been set up in. It was a moment of peace and quiet in an empty room before he packed up and left, but right now he was stuck to grading papers. It won’t be long before winter break came, he planned on getting more sleep then but after a couple days he knew he’d end up running out of things to do.

          The silence didn’t last long when he heard the door knock and he glanced up from the papers along his desk. He wouldn’t be relinquishing this room for some time but then again a few of the other teachers would like to start early. The marine biologist gave a soft sigh, picking his hat up from the table to put back on his head.

          Another thing that reminded him back home in Japan, rather the big cities than the one he lived in. Taxi cabs were usually at the ready, he’d seen them but with lack of money currently, Jotaro had no choice but to use the train. Packed as usual, yes... Just like Tokyo. New York too come to think of it. Any other place with such annoyingly crowded and cramped spaces, oh he was no stranger to this. Better keep an extra close eye on his belongings.

          Jotaro had a shopping basket full of food, a variety of cans, instant noodles, and a small carton of eggs. These were all obviously the items on sale in the store that had several shattered windows with plastic taped over them and yellow tape and signs warding guests from it. There were many questions, sure, but he figured those would be answered on his own time.

          Standing in one aisle that had literally nothing but a few cans and at least one spatula, Jotaro stood in front of a shelf that read 'Bread, $1.95' across the red and yellow sign. What a pain, the second store he came across was also out of the same stuff.

          Hive City has a beach. That’s what he learned when he found a partially destroyed map of Sector oo6. It was interest that caught his attention, perhaps he could make the best of this. If he could find a job regarding the ocean, he’d be set for however long he ended up staying here. So with that, Jotaro set off to the ocean, having no problem navigating these messy streets until he found the expanse. It wasn’t that bad, full of people actually.
