City Square
Welcome to the middle of the sleepy (yeah, right), humble mountain city of
Midgaard. The peaks that surround the somewhat smallish sprawl of
constructions about you appear a vibrant, cool purple at this distance..capped
with off-white snow at the tops. Although the town itself recieves little
precipitation from being sheltered by this atol of sheer rock, a cold wind does
comb and filter its way through..providing a brisk, though arid, atmosphere.
On the southwestern pointing end of town, a small, manmade pass in the
mountain valley allows for easy access from the bustling world outside. To
your north and west are the commercial districts..manufacturing, shipping, and
selling various consumable goods. In the east, to the 'horizon', appear to be
homes of various architectural influences..the more wealthy of said houses
bordering a small alpine lake and park. To the south, the middle-class homes
continue, thinning out just before the open gap to the highway beyond.
As for where you stand..it is the Midgaard City Square..Several government
offices and the larger buildings can be found on the sides of the slightly
misnomered elliptical, cobblestoned intersection. No actual automobile traffic
passes here, being routed through the side streets..this is a strictly
pedestrian and bicycle zone. A large, granite fountain with a statue of Odin
atop it towers nearly two stories prominantly in the center. There are also
benches about for taking a quiet repose from the hustle of daily life.

San
San is... well... she appears to be a wild young girl. She has short
brown hair with a small black headbank around her forehead. She has
blue eyes and three red triangles painted on her face: one on each
cheek and one on her forehead. She has two large circular earrings
made from bone, and several large teeth hanging around her neck on a
black band. She also has black bands on her arms. San is wearing a
small badge colored top, made from the hide of some animal, which hangs
down to her waist. She is also wearing a pair of tattered pants and a
small pair of brown boots. What stands out the most about San's
appearance though is a mask sitting on the top of her head. The mask
is painted for battle, has two horns sticking out of the top, and has
white fur hanging off the back, all the way down to her feet.

>Estri smiles at the group.
Estri
Estri has pulled back her cloak, revealing herself to those in view.
She is a humanoid echidna, looking almost totally human, save her small
nose and seeming lack of ears, and is a jet black from head to toe,
save her muzzle, which is a pale white. Her eyes are a sultry golden
amber, with a small vertical black slit in each. Her body is firm and
well toned, but deliciously full of figure, with pleasant feminine
curves. Her hair is partially pulled back in an upward-swept twist,
with a foot of it hanging from under the twist. Medium-length bangs
curve around her face, framing the odd mark on her forehead: a silver
circle with three small points sticking out, each equidistant from each
other.
Her body is clothed in a slick, blue-black suit, fitting her in most
places like a second skin. Over this is a simple harness made of silver
fabric loops around her ribcage, waist, groin, shoulders, neck, and
between her full, firm breasts; they are held together with steel
rings. A silver clasp holds her cloak together, the cloak draped over
her shoulders. Around her left upper arm and thigh are bands of deep
burgundy with silver rank insignias. Lower down, around her forearms
and lower legs are gauntlets of criss-crossed silver bands that cover
the tops of her boots and gloves. Her right arm and leg, however, have
no covering; they're pure silvery metal, with a highly polished sheen.
With a mysterious and unsettling smile, Estri examines you with a
quick glance and shifts her stance in a more assertive posture,
accenting her statuesque beauty.

>Estri says softly, "Good to see I'm not the only non-human around here." She
smiles. "You remind me of my friend Tarani... save she is far more tigerish,
and has dragon wings."
>San asks, "You talking to me?"
>Katt looks at Estri. "Hmm? Don't believe I've met her."
>Tasuki says, "Well...I'm human, so I assume you can count me out."
>Estri says softly, "I was speaking to the felinish femme."
>Estri smiles at San. "You look more human. Wild, but human. :)"
>San frowns and steps up to Estri, "I'm a mountain dog. Don't call me a human."
>Estri says softly, "Hmm. You resembled a humanoid. My appologies."
>Katt peers at San, but doesn't comment. Doesn't LOOK like a dog.
>San frowns, "It's not my fault."
>Tasuki huhs? and looks over at Katt. He blinks, "Woah! o.o" He smirks, "Dude, I
don't know whether I should tell ya to put some @#%$ing clothes on or what. o.o"
>Katt pulls out the staff, and WHAMS Tasuki on the head. "Hentai."
>Estri chuckles.
>Estri says softly, "Some of my friends have worn much less."
>Tasuki bug eyes, then shouts, "What the !@#^ did you go and do that for?! And
I'm not a god damn pervert! >.<"
>Estri says softly, "My my, such language in front of the ladies..."
>Katt hmmphs. "Quiet, or I'll hit you again, pervert."
>San blinks and sits down on the side of the road.
>Tasuki harumphs. >.<
>Estri giggles softly.
>Katt proves that Pavlov's tricks work on people too. She strolls over to a
bench, taking a seat.
>Estri probably looks odd giggling; she appears to be the type to wear leather
and carry a whip in her spare time at home.
>Tasuki mutters, "That hurt. u.u"
>Katt replies in a matter-of-fact tone, "Good."
>Tasuki hehs! "Good my @$$. Don't try me, you're lucky I'm in a good mood
tonight."
>Katt simply bidaah's Tasuki. Hmm, I do believe she's taunting you.
>Tasuki reaches for his tessen. o.-
>San looks up at Estri.
>Katt smiles to herself. Well, she's not bored anymore.
>Tasuki says, "Lekka shien!" He pulls the tessen out, swiping at the air, while
facing Katt. Flames appear out of nowhere, barrelling towards Katt. They burn
just about everything in their path.
>San blinks.
>Katt leaps aside as the flames proceed to melt the bench into a nice pile of
slag. Katt 'oofs' as she sprawls forward, not really expecting that, nope, as
she snaps at Tasuki, "What was THAT for!?"
>Tasuki taps the tessen against his shoulder, "Don't test me. >.<"
>Katt bidaah's Tasuki again. "Idiot."
>Tarani pads in, drawn by the fight.

Tarani
A flash of sandy gold catches the corner of your vision. As you turn
to see what it was, you find yourself looking into the indigo eyes of
the Guardian Tarani. She remembles a neko-girl, save she is far more
woman than girl, and her color is that of a powerful gold-colored
Siberian Tiger instead of a cute, passive housecat. Her humanoid body
is supple and strong like the great felines she resembles, and she
moves with sinuous grace like the cherished cat goddesses of Egypt. She
has lovely female curves that are neither undersized nor oversized,
appearing to all the world as desirable, gracefull woman with feline
ears, tail, and coloration. She stands around five and half feet tall,
and weighs just under 130 pounds, with powerful dragon wings folded to
her back, striped black and gold, and matching miniature wings jutting
from her ankles. Her hair is long and sandy gold, with black stripes
running from the top of her head to near the ends in the back. On her
forehead are two black spots above her eyes, a stripe underneath like
cheetah markings, and three black lines on her forhead that almost meet
in a point between her eyes.
Currently she is wearing her normal attire, a simple black fighter's
suit, sword belt, and wooden rings that circle her wrists and ankles,
three on each. The suit is loose along the upper body, with large,
belled-out sleeves that stop at mid-forearm, a hood that circles the
neck loosely and hangs down the back, and V-shaped slits for Wildfyre's
wings, which are folded to her back. The suit's opening flap, which
runs straight down along the left side has no buttons, only clasps
underneath, and the bottom of the suit simply stretches down over her
bottom and groin, leaving her legs free for movement. It has a taupe
edging along the opening flap, sleeves and leg holds. Over this is a
long black hooded cape, made of a thick material like rough-spun
cotton, which is decorated with a yin-yang-yong symbol on the back (one
white, one black, one rainbow). Around her neck is a long hexagonal
prism of gold crystal that shimmers like tiger's eye inside, hanging
from a black cord.
Carrying:
>Tasuki holsters the fan, and re-folds his arms, "I'm not going to let myself
get tricked into fighting a... 'cutey' like you."
>Tarani stifles a laugh, looking at the situation.
>Katt crosses her arms, spinning her staff as she does so. "Well, apologize
then. I liked that bench!"
>Tarani says softly, "I'll hang around to see if they kiss and make up..."
>Tasuki throws a glare at Tarani, "I'm not kissing any girl! >.<"
>Tarani murrrs softly, "Pardon. Into boys, are we?"
>Katt turns to Tarani, chuckling to herself.
>San blinks.
>Tarani smiles a tigerish smile.
>Tasuki growls, "I don't go that way, idiot. >.< I just...grr!"
>Tarani smiles. "Calm down little man, you'll blow a vein out."
>Estri giggles. "You're on your own now, 'rani."
>Estri has left.
>Katt yawns, taking a seat on a different bench.
>Tasuki says, "Don't talk down to me...-.-"
>Tarani stretches her wings. "Sorry. I'm a few thousand years old. To me, just
about everyone is little."
>Tasuki just glances around.. and starts to make funny faces at Katt. @.x :p o.O
O.o
>Katt bidaah's Tasuki again. Hey, it's a fun pastime.
>Tarani pads over to Tasuki and walks around him, looking him over. "Besides,
you're kind of cute." She tickles his chin with the tuft on her tail.
>Tasuki says, "Stop it. I'm not 'cute.'" He shakes his head, to emphasize some
kind of weird point.
>Tarani smiles. "The fangs are quite stylish."
>Tasuki hehs, "I can balance just about anythin' on 'em. n.n"
>Tarani purrs, "I'll bet that's quite true. Any other noteworthy skills?"
>Katt . o O ( Sheesh, flirting with him already 'O_o' )
>Tarani smiles. "I've buried more husbands than Liz Taylor. I've learned to
simply save myself the heartache and enjoy the moment, as it were."
>Katt blinks. "..."
>Tasuki nodnods, then blinks. o.o "Ne, I'll take my chance with her. o.o" He
walks over to the bench and plops down next to Katt...then makes a face at her.
:p
>Katt peers at Tasuki, scooting over to put some distance between them.
>Tarani chuckles. "Smart choice. A tigress is far too much for little boys." She
gives a wise, yet sardonic smile.
>Tasuki exclaims, "Aww, scared! How cute." He pulls the skin on his cheeks down
and crosses his eyes, "Boo! Look who's afraid of the big bad Tasuki!"
>Tarani swishes her tail. "Perhaps another time. I don't always look like this
you know.. I can show up as just about anyone... and I often do."
>Katt WHAMS Tasuki with the staff again. "Idiot." Turns out he don't learn fast,
eh?
>Tarani laughs softly. "Keep doing that. You might jumpstart his IQ by a few
points."
>Tasuki u.u "Lekka ...shien..." He pulls his tessen out and expands it, jostling
it slightly by tapping it. A small, lighter sized flame appears from the arch.
n.n
>Tasuki sticks his tongue out. n.n
>Katt leaps away from the bench, bidaah'ing Tasuki for the nth time.
>Tarani performs a few magic hand gestures found in dance magic, as red flames
spiral up around her and vanish. In her place is a rather cute young
schoolgirl, perhaps fifteen in age, with blonde hair and standard uniform. She
giggles and walks quietly down the street.
>Tasuki shrugs, and sits sideways on the bench, spreading his legs out. He sets
his Tessen in place and folds his arms behind his head. "Aaaaah... n.n"
>Tarani leaves east.
>Katt hmmphs, resting the staff on her shoulders.
>San leaves north.
>Tasuki asks, not looking over at her, "Ne, I didn't catch your name."
>Katt says, in a haughty tone with her eyes closed, "Katt, and you better
remember it!"
>Tasuki glances over at her, and scoffs loudly, "Easy enough!" . o O (The name
fits. c.c)
>Katt asks, "And yours?"
>Tasuki says, "Mmm, call me Genrou. n.n"
>Katt peers at Tasuki. "Stupid name." She bidaah's Tasuki with a smirk. '^_^'
>Tasuki says, "Better than 'Katt!'"
>Tasuki says, "I mean, come on...nobody's that dumb. -.o"
>Katt spins the staff in her hand. "And what's wrong with that?"
>Tasuki grins, hopping off the bench. "Genrou's just a much coooooler name, is
all. n.n"
>Katt hmmphs. "Says you."
>Tasuki says, "Admit it... 'phantasm wolf,' 'cat.' No comparison. n.n"
>Katt hmmphs again.
>Tasuki says, "You're soooo cute when you're disgusted. ;p I just noticed." He
grins fangily.
>Katt wonders if the Pavlovian training is wearing off. She reinforces it. WHAP.
>Tasuki blocks with a bench! n.n "Too sloooow!" At least you've got him trained
somehow. o.o
>Katt hmmphs, and gives him a bidaah
>Tasuki sticks his tongue out, and tosses the bench aside. *thud*
>Katt whaps you with the staff again. Psych.
>Tasuki arrrrghs! "Hidoi..."
>Katt smiles.
>Tasuki holds his hand out, "Let me see that @#%!ing thing."
>Katt twirls it behind her back. "Nope."
>Tasuki folds his arms behind his back, "Then I won't show you what's in my
haaaands. n.n"
>Katt hmmphs. "How gullible do you think I am?"
>Tasuki whips out a sake bottle in his left hand, and a fairly large emerald in
his right. n.n
>Katt blinks, the twirling coming to a screeching halt. "Where'd you get that?"
>Tasuki shrugs, "I bought it over at Tifa's bar. n.n"
>Katt pikus. "I meant the gem, doofus."
>Tasuki shrugs, and pockets them both, "A girl named Corona gave it to me."
>Katt nods. "Oh."
>Tasuki says, "She can make them, out of thin-air. She's a pretty nice person."
He shrugs, "Says she can turn lead into gold, too."
>Katt taps her chin. "Go figure."
>Tasuki says, "Pretty cool. n.n"
>Katt hmms. "Wouldn't need to worry about money then."
>Tasuki nodnods. "That gem alone will probably have me set for a month or two..."
>Tasuki asks, "Say, how do you make money around here, anyhow...?"
>Katt hmms. Could it be she's actually interested in talking with you? Nah.
>Tasuki says, "Heh." He turns his back on you, and pulls the bottle out, taking
a swig out of it.
>Katt hmmphs, crossing her arms in front of her now. "Well, I don't care anyway."
>Tasuki holds the bottle up, over his shoulder, "Thirsty?"
>Katt keeps her eyes closed, and her arms crossed. Hmm, is she peeking at you
out of the corner of her eye? Nah.
>Tasuki shrugs a bit, and takes another swig from the bottle. He's just as
stubborn as you are.
>Katt hmmphs. "No. I'm not."
>Tasuki says, "Suit yourself. I got plenty enough here." He takes another sip
from the bottle.
>Katt takes a step towards you, still peeking out of the corner of her eye.
>Tasuki glances over his shoulder quickly, then glances back down into his
bottle of sake. n.n;
>Katt does seem to be a little closer.
>Tasuki flicks back his hair, then pockets the bottle of sake. He glances over
his shoulder again, and turns around, "Ne...what're you doin'?"
>Katt blinks in surprise, then goes back to 'ignoring' you. "Nothing."
>Tasuki looks around a bit, and not finding the solution to the current
situation, he hehs, "For doin' nothin', you sure are stickin' here a long time."
>Katt hmmphs. "'Cause I'm bored."
>Tasuki says, "Yeah, well...uhh....me too." He hmmmphs, to make a return point.
>Katt smirks. For a second.
>Tasuki smirks, "Well, guess ya don't want to talk to me, soooo, I'll be heading
off." He turns around...and trots in place. n.n
>Katt opens her eyes. "H... hey!"
>Tasuki spins around, silently, and tries to stealthily draw his hand over your
eyes. "Peek-a-boo."
>Katt eeps, WHAMWHAMWHAMing Tasuki! 'o_o'
>Tasuki ooofs, and plops over, giving a peace sign as he falls! @.@
>Katt sweatdrops. "Eheh... sorry."
>Tasuki says, "...yoroshii. u.u"
>Katt . o O ( Well... he shouldn't have tried to be sneaky! )
>Tasuki hops to his feet, then waves a hand, "But hey, if you do that one more
time, someone *might* get injured."
>Tasuki waves a fist, more teasingly than threateningly. ;p
>Katt crosses her arms. "Yeah. You."
>Katt smiles
>Tasuki just smirks, and folds his arms as well.
>Tasuki taps his boot. n.n;
>Katt looks back and forth.
>Tasuki rubs his nose. "...so..."
>Katt says, "I'm... going now."
>Tasuki looks up, "Uh...sorry?"
>Katt smiles.
>Katt (OOC) and does have to go to bed x.x
>Tasuki says, "My fault, probably." He turns around, and begins to walk
northbound, "Gonna find a place to sleep at Tifa's, I guess...see ya later."
>Katt nods, and dashes off. "... Pervert."
