City Square: Fountain
Nearer to the fountain still, the sound of the softly cascading water overcomes
most any other noise besides the people sitting and chatting. There is a
wrought iron barricade about the actual fountain, though it seems to be more
placed to deter than to prevent climbing in, as anyone of moderate hieght could
easily scale it. The statue of Odin atop the large fountain dwarfs most
everything else in the area..as well the seven trees planted in a circle about
the fountain.
There are benches here as well, though of a marble variety rather than the
wooden ones found farther out in the city square. There also seems to be less
foot traffic here, apparently because of the lack of commerce. All in all, a
serene place to enjoy the evening and perhaps meet with friends for a night on
the town.
[Exits : (C)ity Square ]
[Players : Lyrae ]
[Things : None ]
>Garr walks closer to the fountain from the square, the chiming of the rings on
his spear heralding his arrival. He observes the statue of the Norse patriarch,
then slowly settles himself down on a bench.
>Lyrae blinks, currently lying on her stomach on the rim of the fountain. she
lifts her head hearing the chiming noise, and glances over her shoulder,
tilting slightly to see who just....entered o.o, blinks several times and lets
out a squeak o O ( WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?? ) leans back a bit too far and
lands in the drink *EEP* s.x
>Lyrae x.x even
>Garr slowly turns to look at the now-moistened Lyrae. He smiles, apparently
used to such reactions.
>Lyrae blinkblinkblinks, her hair plastered to her face, dripping ;;o.o; and
sweatbeads further at the smile o.o o.o
>Garr says, in a deep voice, "My apologies if I startled you madam, I am simply
resting myself and enjoying the scenery. No reason to be concerned."
>Lyrae blinks -.o o O ( ....O*KAY* the weirdness is just... well ..I've seen
dragons and goddesses already ..why not a..a whatever? ) She climbs out of the
fountain, her foot catching against the rim and unbalancing herself for a
second or two before she manages to staand properly, "I..i..it's a..all right."
She stammers, mentally kicking herself for her stuttering.
>Garr clasps his hands together, the movement causing the spear to chime once
again. "Is something bothering you madam? You appear quite reactionary..."
>Destiny walks in from the city square.
>Destiny has arrived.
>Lyrae glances at the spear, blinking at the chime o.o -.- o.o then back to
Garr, "N..n..no, I'm fine.." She pauses and adds drily, "Wet.. but fine.." She
perches a bit tensely on the edge of the fountain.
>Destiny wanders in quietly, her cloak hiding her features, and a good portion
of her face.
>Garr sits on a bench - taking up the majority of it - and gently holds his
spear between his hands
>Lyrae glances towards Destiny, then back to Garr, and then to Destiny again
before inching away o O ( Pleeeeeaase don't let there be more than just two
people coming in now o.o )
>Destiny halts slight distance. She remains deathly quiet, gazing first at
Lyrae, and then to Garr.
>Seventeen appears suddenly, his image resolving itself from a flickering blur
of black lines, like television static.
>Seventeen has arrived.
>Lyrae wrings out her skirt *dripdripdrip*.. then looks up at Garr, "A..ano..
C..can I a.aa.ask your name?"
>17 blips in just above the level of the trees, 'standing' in the air as he
surveys the situation below.
>Destiny's gaze remains frimly on Garr, studying the massive, draconian-like
form.
>Garr opens his mouth to speak... but the action is interrupted by 17's arrival.
He observes the flying machine, then looks back down at Lyrae and continues his
statement. "I am known as Garr."
>Lyrae doesn't notice 17's entrance, her own gaze fixed on Garr, as she tries
wringing out her skirt as best she can, "O..oh.. u..u..um," She scowls, pauses,
takes a breath and continues. "Lyrae. I-I mean th..that's my name.. it's Lyrae."
>Garr nods slowly to Lyrae. "A beautiful name, young lady."
>Lyrae blinkblinks and manages a tentative smile, "T..Thank you." o O ( Well he
certainly seems nice enough .. n.n )
>17 keeps his eyes on the trio below as he drifts across to the Odin statue,
whose head he takes a seat upon, letting his legs dangle in its face.
>Lyrae bounces her feet against the ground lightly, blinking as she catches
sight of a shadow against the ground and looks up, turning from where she sits
upon the ledge of the fountain to look up at 17. o O ( ..three.. oh boy.. oh
boy okay..just ..stay calm .. I can handle three..suuuuure I can.. )
>Garr turns his ruby eyes upwards, towards the perched 17. "And what is your
name, young man? I do not believe we've met..."
>Garr . o O ( An unusually talented one, he is... but I doubt he is a dragon... )
>17 answers simply, "Juunanagou." He shrugs for some reason, force of habit most
likely, and then brushes his hair back past his right ear with an absent sweep
of his hand.
>Lyrae turns her attention back to wringing out her hair.
>Lyrae . o O ( This is fine. Really. Fine. I'm okay. >.> I'll just keep an eye
on the nearest exit at all times o.o )
>Garr nods to 17. He shifts his grip on the spear, causing the rings to chime
once again.
>Destiny gazes towards Seventeen, secretly flashing a bit of a grin to him. She
adjusts her cloak, fer face falling back into darkness.
>Lyrae blinks at Garr, her curiosity piqued past her natural shell-shocked
shyness, "Um....."
>Garr raises one his his eyebrows as he peers down at the young lady. "... Yes?"
>17's eyes dart to the side as he catches the grin, returning a more blatant one
of acknowledgement before spreading his attention equally amongst the three
visitors to 'his domain'. Never mind the fact that he just got here..
>Destiny's gaze returns to the largest being here.
>Lyrae SWEATBEADS a bit as she looks uuuup at Garr, "A.." She squeaks, then
clears her voice, *koffkoffahem* "A.." There's that squeak again o O ( I give
up -.- ) "Are you a w..warrior..?"
>17 overheard Garr's name being given, so he doesn't bother to ask it. Rather,
he grins faintly as he watches Lyrae in her obvious discomfiture.
>Lyrae feels the hair on the back of her neck prickling slightly. After all
she's been through, she can tell when she's being watched.
>Garr smiles, and comments in a plain, direct tone, "Yes, at times."
>Lyrae bounces her feet against the ground, placing her hands against her knees
tensely, "S..s..so you're new here?" o O ( What am I *DOING*? I must be nuts.
But it's rude to just ignore him and he seems okay..I think..I guess.. )
>Garr keeps his smile as he replies, "Watching after a young... friend." . o O
( And tracking down a rogue... )
>Lyrae blinkblinks, tilting her head upwards again to look at Garr, "Oh! That's
nice." *loooong pause* "What are you?" EEP! Did she just say that aloud!?!
>Lyrae raises her hands immediatley, stammers, "I-i-i-I'm sorry! I didn't mean
t.t.t.o insult you o..or anything!!"
>Lyrae mentally groans o O ( I can see it now, he's going to cleaave my head off
with that spear or something ;.; )
>17 flashes a quizzical glance to the curtain of black that has Destiny huddled
somewhere inside it, shrugging as if to ask, 'what's with her?'
>Garr raises a hand, palm open. "No insult recieved. I am a Guardian, the
servant of the Urkan God."
>Metal walks in from the city square.
>Metal has arrived.
>17 just -has- to ask about this 'god' fellow that gets mentioned. "Is he green?"
>Lyrae blinks o.- o.o; "G..Guardian?"
>Destiny sees the look, and responds with a quizical one of her own.
>Garr shifts the spear slightly. "I have not seen God in over a millenia... I
can not comment."
>17 holds his hand out to indicate waist-height. "About this tall, with
antennae?"
>Metal steps into the area quickly, peering back over hios shoulder. "That Akio
guy again....snooty, overconfident *grumble*"
>Garr nods to Lyrae
>17 ohs softly as his question gets answered. He settles back to observe again,
but not before offering a recognative nod to Metal.
>Lyrae quietly says, "I..Is thatanything like Paladins? Knights maybe?" She erks
softly.. definitely starting to get edgy with the crowd now. But she's curious
so she'll stay put for the time being.
>Destiny shifts, hearing Metal's voice. She parly spins around, just enough to
twist herself to look directly at him. With a bright flash of light, she is no
longer there. But she is indeed close by, as her gaze may still be felt upon
any one of you.
>Garr reaches up with his hand, cluching his chin. He closes his eyes, perhaps
pondering a moment, then replies, "A suitable analogy, if not entirely
accurate."
>Garr turns his head to look at Metal.
>Lyrae starts bouncing her feet against the ground again, fixing her gaze on her
shadow, falling silent as she closes her eyes, trying to settle her nerves.
>Metal scritches his head, "Man. She really hates m now." He waits a moment
before throwing a careless shrug.
>Garr closes his eyes, feeling out the area . o O ( The other girl is still
here... but what would cause her to flee like that? )
>Lyrae lets out a breath and opens her eyes again, crossing her arms with her
feet bouncing against the ground a mile a minute <.< >.> <.<
>Garr . o O ( I wonder... the dragon Esmerelda... the most foul of the breed I
have yet encountered... how far do her plans reach? )
>17 decides to comment on this unusual phenomenon, directing a question to
Lyrae. "Are you alright?"
>Lyrae FREEZES in position o.o o.o;; and turning oh so slowly to look up at 17,
"M..m..me?" She squeaks, "S..sure I'm F..f..fine. o.o o.o;;;;;"
>Garr opens his eyes. "Your words betray your emotions."
>17 cocks his head to one side, giving a slight shake in disagreement. "You
don't look it."
>Destiny reappears with a quick static appearance, in imitation of Seventeen's
arrival. She now stands out to the side, near a bench a good distance away.
Her hood is draped lightly over her forehead, blocking all view except the
ridgid straight line of her lips.
>Lyrae blinkblinkblinks, uncrossing her arms and placing them against her knees
to keep them from jittering too badly, tucking hers legs tightly against the
fountain ledge as she looks from Garr to 17, shaking her head nervously,
"It...i.it's n..nothing." o.o;;
>17 . o O ( When did she learn how to do that? )
>Metal peers at Destiny and sniffs, throwing a hand over his nose and rubbing it
a bit, his bangs fall into his eyes. He doesn't bother to brush them away as he
turns his head.
>Garr speaks, his tone deep and commanding, but somehow, not authoritarian. "If
you do have a problem madam, it shall never be solved if you keep it within
yourself."
>17 sits forward on his perch, planting his feet against Odin's cheek as though
preparing to launch himself into the air..which he doesn't. "Your idea of
'nothing' is what some would call having too much espresso."
>Lyrae bites her lower lip, blinking at 17, her expression twitching
considerably as she stifles her giggle (OOC dies laughing however), and glances
to Garr, "J..just th..the way I..I am really o.o o.o"
>Metal smirks at 17. Then peers away, then in the next second..he's gone, along
with a gust of wind.
>Garr observes Metal out of the corner of his eye. He looks down upon Lyrae,
raising a hand, palm open, and says, "You need not be afraid of anything, for
God watches those who are good."
>17 smirks. "That's about all he does. Unless your god's more useful than the
one we have where I come from."
>Lyrae nods meekly towards Garr's comment, pausing to move her hands away from
her knees, leaning them on the fountain ledge instead. The jittering's gone,
but she's about as stiff as a board. o.o;
>Garr narrows his eyes at 17, continuing, "Of course God can not intervene
directly in the affairs of every person. But God works in mysterious ways."
>Lyrae . o O ( Boy I'll say o.o )
>Lyrae spares a quick glance over her shoulder to make sure no one else's come
in while she wasn't looking <.<
>Kim walks in from the city square.
>Kim has arrived.
>Lyrae's feet start bouncing against the ground again. She immediately leans
over against them. She's wet enough as it is, at this rate she'll jitter
herself into the water again.
>Garr sits upon one of the benches in the area (taking up most of it). He holds
his spear between his hands, every movement causing the rings on the weapon to
chime harmoniously.
>Kim blinks
>Lyrae glances over her shoulder, taking care not to let go of the fountain
ledge, leaning back some as she catches sight of Kim. n.n;;;
>Garr smiles at Kim. "Come, take a seat. But try not to fall into the fountain."
He chuckles.
>Destiny's gaze from the back of the area shifts to Kim, beginning to study her.
>Kim ers, looking around, "Thanks." o_o;
>Lyrae erps and blushes, ducking her head sheepishly *6.6*
>17 takes full advantage of the view afforded him from atop the statue's head,
continuing to watch everyone quietly.
>Minako walks in from the city square.
>Minako has arrived.
>Yuffie walks in from the city square.
>Yuffie has arrived.
>Garr sits upon one of the benches in the area (taking up most of it). He holds
his spear between his hands, every movement causing the rings on the weapon to
chime harmoniously.
>Kim walks over towards the fountain, sitting down on the edge of it.
>Yuffie walks on in, her arms crossed behind her head as she looks up at the
sky. o.o . o O ( I wonder why I have the sudden urge to steal something. o.o )
>Lyrae squeaks as she sees more people entering, pales and closes her eyes,
tightening her grip on the fountain as hard as possible, her arms shaking a
little.
>Kim pikus
>Kim asks, "Lyrae?"
>Minako jogs into the area, apparently out for a run...
>Lyrae stammers a few syllables that don't even come _CLOSE_ to comprehensible.
>Kim says, "Er....are you ok?" o.o;
>Destiny's gaze shifts from Kim, to Yuffie, and finally onto Minako.
>Lyrae quietly says, "J.j.jj.j.j.jj.jj.ust Gg.gg.ggg.g.great"
>Garr says, in a deep voice, "I do believe she is nervous about something."
>Yuffie absentmindidly reaches into her pocket and pulls out what appears to be
a marble. She flips it into the air, catches it, then pops it into her mouth,
rolling it about as if it were a gum drop. o.o; ^.^;
>Kim puts her arm around Lyrae, patting her shoulder. ^_^;
>Lyrae inhales and holds her breatho O ( >.< Father.. this is all your fault! I
can't even sit in public without panicking anymore! )
>17 indulges in a moment of pure evilness, and slides down from his perch atop
>Odin's head to disappear amidst a staticky blur of black lines. The same
distortion appears above the fountain's pool, a few feet behind Lyrae. He
materializes just long enough to yell "BOO!" and then reclaims his perch atop
the statue in a blur of motion, drawing one knee up to his chest in an attempt
to appear completely uninvolved in the incident.
>Lyrae is no longer sitting where she was sitting after the "BOO". She shot
forward about six feet and now cowers on the ground, curling into a ball.
>Kim o.o
>Kim looks up, narrowing her eyes
>17 muses under his breath, "That worked," raising his face to the sky and
smiling beatifically.
>Garr looks over at 17, hands clasped in front of him, as if in prayer. "That
was most certainly not necessiary, sir."
>Kim moves off the fountain, going to Lyrae, talking softly, "Lyrae, it's ok.."
>Yuffie's brow knits together as she stops rolling the object around her mouth.
She squints, then SPITS it out to her side. "ICK! That's not a gum ba-"
*BAM*
>Minako blinks and notices Garr...and begins edging away from it slowly...
>Lyrae jumps about three feet back from the *BAM*, shaking uncontrollably now
>Minako . o O ( It's that youma... )
>Yuffie is thrown several feet to the side as the concussion grenade explodes.
x.x; I guess she forgot what she had in her pocket. o_O;
>The flowing stream coming out of the fountain statue's mouth...for some reason
beyond explanation reverses, flowing up and back at the perched 17 to get him
wet.
>Kim erks! grabbing Lyrae around her waist
>Yuffie hops back to her feet, staring in the general direction of the
explosion. "What the heck was that?!" @_@
>Lyrae is grabbed, sure yah, but she's still jittering like crazy.
>Kim says, "Hey, hey, hey, calm down. o.o"
>Garr . o O ( This is a very unusual city, oh yes... )
>Destiny stares where the grenade went off, oblivious to anything else except
for that loud noise.
>Yuffie blinks, looking over at Lyrae and Kim, her attentions, now rather
flittery, drawn to them. She blinks again, then leaps into the air, flipping
towards the two. . o O ( Hey, it's those people... um... what's their name...
Lyrae and Kim. ^^ )
>Kim holds her arms around Lyrae's waist still, holding her on her lap, still
sitting on the ground.
>Minako looks right, looks left...what's she looking for, anyway?
>Kim turns her head at Yuffie's approach.
>17 gets drenched, but not enough to wipe the smile off his face. He asks of
those on the ground, "It's not like she was going to relax any time soon. Did
anybody else have a better idea for breaking the tension?"
>Kim says, "Well, I see you're awake." ^_^
>Kim flashes a tiny glare at 17 before looking back at Yuffie.
>The water returns to normal flow.
>Yuffie thumps feet-first into the ground before the two, her arms spread out to
either side for balance. "Yeah. I forgot I was in the rafters, and almost hit
the ground too. ^^; So what's up?" o.o
>Garr shakes his head, slowly. "You should show more concern for your fellow
people."
>Lyrae places her hands against the side of her head, squeezing her eyes shut
and focusing on calming down. After a couple of minutes of shaking, she opens
her eyes o.o o.o;; *blinkblinkblink*
>Kim says, "Lyrae's blood pressure I think." n.n;;;
>17 nods toward the recovering jitterbug. "See? She's looking healthier already."
>Lyrae o.o o.o;
>Kim says, "You okay, Lyrae?" o.o
>Lyrae blinkblinkblinks o.o o.o;
>Lyrae blinks, her eyes refocusing after a minute o.o; and looks around >.> <.<
>Yuffie leans on over, clasping her hands behind her back. "What's wrong? You
look like you got a new facial tick... unless you always had one." ^^; She
reaches out with one hand... and pokes it between Lyrae's eyes. o.o
>Kim smiles, "Welcome back." ^_^
>Lyrae crosses her eyes >.<
>Yuffie cocks her head. "Well?" o.o
>Minako says, "I think I'm getting a headache again... o.o"
>Lyrae reaches a hand up and moves Yuffie's hand away >.< o.o "I'm okay now.."
o.o; "Not a facial tick, no.."
>Minako . o O ( I don't know if it's the strangeness of the situation or all the
magical energy... o.o )
>17 clasps his hands behind his head and leans back, crossing his legs. "There.
See? All better."
>Kim says, "Feel better?" still not letting go of Lyrae, just incase.
>The fountain sprays 17 again.
>Lyrae nodnods, her jade eyes sliding towards 17 briefly, her mouth twitching
against a giggle as she glances to Yuffie. And blinks, "Oh hi!" *wavie*
>17's image resolves itself in the exact same position a few feet clear of the
waterspout, hovering in the air. Apparently once was enough for him.
>Garr hmms quietly, closing his eyes again.
>Yuffie nodnods, slipping the hand away. She pauses for a moment, thoughtfully,
then reaches into her pocket and pulls out another "marble", this time pink.
She smiles, then holds it out to Lyrae. "Want a gumball?" ^_^
>Kim pikus
>The stream of water chases after 17
>Lyrae blinks a bit dazedly and eyes the marble, reaching out for it.
>Kim says, "That's a gumball?" o.-
>Minako stumbles over towards a bench and flumps down heavily.
>Keiko walks in from the city square.
>Keiko has arrived.
>Yuffie lets Lyrae take the sleeping gas bomb. "Yup! At least, I think it is."
^^
>Akio walks in from the city square.
>Akio has arrived.
>Lyrae peers at the thing, "I..it doesn't -LOOK- like a gumball.."
>Garr sits upon one of the benches in the area (taking up most of it). He holds
his spear between his hands, every movement causing the rings on the weapon to
chime harmoniously.
>Kim leans her head over Lyrae's shoulder, peering at the thing.
>17 blips away, reappearing on the ground in the rough vicinity of everyone
else, just close enough to make them 'splash risks' if this magic water decides
to chase him again. By this point he's a bit worried. His theories concerning
karma are being lent strong credence now. o.o;
>Kim says, "Looks kinda...hard."
>Yuffie shrugs. "I'm not sure... I did find a gumball earlier in my pocket,
but the last one tasted like metal." ^^;
>Akio raises an eyebrow, slipping in without sound to the back of the scene,
observing the crowd as his arms fold lightly over his chest.
>Keiko walks in, itching her head in confusion. "Eh... What a crowd." ^-^
>Lyrae eyes Yuffie, not noticing Akio or Keiko's entrance, "I..think I'll just
hold onto it o.o;"
>The stream stops in front of 17, the end of it forming into a small humanoid
head, which promptly sticks its tounge out at him before dashing back to the
fountain, where it returns to normal flow.
>Garr . o O ( How unusual... )
>Sanban_Ryu walks in from the city square.
>Sanban_Ryu has arrived.
>Lyrae blinks at Kim's head on her shoulder, and glances to one side, smothering
a giggle.
>Yuffie nodnods, wearing her trademark smile. "Sure thing!" ^^
>S. Ryu finally gives in and follows the crowd. x.x
>Garr turns his head to look at the small arrival. "Ah, Ryu..."
>Lyrae looks at Yuffie, "So how are you feeling today..?" Yay, sometihng to
focus on.. crowd? What crowd?
>Minako asks, "Anyone got some aspirin?"
>Keiko waves to Garr. ^-^ She then makes sure no one tries anything with Ryu. =.=
>Lyrae blinkblinks at Minako, shaking her head o.o then looks back to Yuffie.
>S. Ryu raises a small hand in greeting to Garr. ^_^ "Afternoon."
>Destiny gazes to Keiko from her place in the 'background' of the area, having
said not one word yet, only watching.
>Yuffie nods. "Yeah, I'm feeling better. ^^ No more dizziness!"
>Garr bows his head to Ryu. "I hope you slept well."
>17 watches this water display with a slackjawed expression, his innately
impassive features looking as 'freaked out' as is possible for him. He glances
toward his favorite perch with a rueful expression and blips out, mumbling
something about the statue being a 'traitor'.
>Lyrae smiles a bit, "Do you remember anythinng else since last night?"
>Akio hms and takes a step sideways, to get a better angle to view what's going
on.
>Seventeen 's image dissolves into blurry black lines as he makes his abrupt
departure.
>Seventeen has left.
>Kim watches 17 leave, smiling a bit to herself.
>Yuffie shakes her head, suddenly looking down. "... no... not yet..."
>Garr hmms quietly at 17's departure.
>Kim. o O (That'll teach ya.)
>Minako sighs, "Great..."
>S. Ryu nods. o.o "For the amount of money they cost, it's a nice place."
>Minako . o O ( ...ow...it hurts to think...ow... )
>Lyrae erps and tentatively reaches out to pat Yuffie's left shoulder, "I'm
sorry, I shouldn't press you about it. You'll remember in due time."
>Garr turns his head to face Minako. "Are you alright, young lady?"
>Yuffie plops into a sitting position before Lyrae, rubbing the back of her
head. ^_^ "I sure hope so."
>Then she can get back to being good ol', annoying, psychotic, thieving,
much-hated ninja that we all care and love. :D
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Kim says, "It's likely temporary amnesia." turning her attention back to Yuffie
and Lyrae.
>Lyrae looks at Kim and nods, turning back to Yuffie, "But you can stay with us
until you get your memory back anyway."
>Kim says, "Yah." ^_^
>Yuffie squints slightly, then asks, "Say, Kim... how come I got amnesia
anyhow?" o.o She glances at Lyrae, then smiles. ^_^ "Thanks."
>Minako eeeeeeeeps and jumps as Garr speaks to her, "STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU
YOUMA!!!"
>Kim. o O (Once she gets it back though....)
>Kim says, "Er....I'd ask Lyrae." n.n;
>Lyrae *meeps* at the yell and looks over at Minako o.o
>S. Ryu blinks at Minako. o_o;
>Kim blinks
>Garr raises an eyebrow, as he smiles. "Youma...? I believe you are mistaken."
>Yuffie darts a glance over at Minako. O_o;
>Akio turns slowly, coolly, and gazes at Minako with an icy stare.
>Keiko blinkblinks at Garr, then at Minako. "Eheh..." O.o;; . o O ( She called
him a 'ma'? Is 'ma' supposed to be a bad word around here? O.o )
>Akio addresses Minako in a soft baritone. "Are you quite all right, young lady?"
>Kim ^.^;; . o O (Nut...)
>Remo walks in from the city square.
>Remo has arrived.
>Al has arrived.
>Guido has arrived.
>Remo arrives, with Al and Guido following behind.
>Minako says, "NO! I've got a splitting headache, I"
>Minako says, "NO! I've got a splitting headache, I'm not sure where I am, and
to top it all off, there's a large youma just wandering around in the streets!
I'm NOT *OK*! O.O"
>Kim ^.^;;;;;
>Minako is, quite obviously, in hysterics by now.
>Remo looks around as Guido and Al stand beside him
>Lyrae just stares at the hysterical woman o.o
>Keiko. o O ( Yikes... She'd have a cow if I suddenly took off my hat. O.O;; )
>Yuffie sweatdrops. "Geeze... that lady should get some time off... maybe the
Honey Bee Inn or something." o.o
>Garr brings his hand up to his chin, rubbing it in thought. "Perhaps you should
head home and rest. You do not sound well."
>Akio steps a bit closer, beautiful face gently sculpting to the perfect image
of rational, calm concern. "Perhaps you would like to remove yourself from the
crowd then and get some fresh air..." he suggests softly.
>Kim mumbles, "Either of you have ..... aspirin .. ..... .. o;;" to
Lyrae Yuffie.
>Lyrae looks at Yuffie, "The what?"
>Lyrae mumbles, "Iya .. .. ..... think there was ..... back at .....
bar ..... .." to Kim Yuffie.
>Akio glances at Garr briefly, a flicker of humor in his eyes. . o O ( Similar
indeed. )
>Minako says, "I don't know where home *IS*!!! O.O"
>Yuffie nods! "I think I have aspirin! Lemme check my pocket." ^^ She delves
a hand into her pocket, and pulls out what 'appears' to be an aspirin. o.o
>Lyrae gets to her feet and inches her way over to Minako, "Excuse me.."
>Lyrae misses Yuffie's movement, Kim stop her! ^_^
>Akio nods slowly. "I can see that you're upset. Would you care to walk with me
a little? Perhaps I can help you." Offering a dark hand to Minako.
>Garr says, in a deep voice, "That would seem to be a problem indeed,"
>Kim squints at what's in Yuffie's hand
>Yuffie gets up and walks over to Lyrae, holding up the Ex-Lax pill. "Here it
is!" ^^
>Kim says, "Yuffie....you just carry around pills in your pocket? o.o;"
>Lyrae turns from Minako, to look at Yuffie -.o o O ( That *REALLY* doesn't look
like aspirinn. )
>Yuffie carries around lots of things in her pockets. o.o
>Minako ROUNDS on Lyrae, now quite obviously failing the anime stress test (
about a dozen hairs are sticking out at random angles ), "WHAT?!?!?! O.O"
>Yuffie just forgot what they all were. ^_^;
>Yuffie nods! "Yeah, I carry around everything." ^^
>Lyrae for some bizarre reason, does *NOT* Freak when Minako breaths fire at her
o.o;; "I was just going to suggest that we go to the bar and get some aspirin

just in case o.o
>Yuffie walks over to Minako and holds out the pill. o.o "Here." ^___^ Hrmn...
she's wearing her scary grin again. o_O At least there's no malicious intent
behind it.
>Minako looks from one person to another, glancing at Akio's hand... O.o
>Lyrae o.o;;
>Kim says, "Uh, Yuffie, you shouldn't offer pills freely like that." n.n;;;
>Akio does not retract it, he simply waits, green eyes mildly scrutinizing the
obviously deranged girl.
>Careful...that might be a Hyper. o.o
>Yuffie blinks, looking over at Kim. "Why not?" o.o
>Kim says, "It's not...sanitary." n.n;;

"Sorry." ^^;

fresh air with less people may help."
>Minako nodnods, ready to accept ANYTHING normal here... o.o Heck...ready to
latch on with a deathgrip on anything normal is more like it.
>Keiko. o O ( This is the reason why I practically cover myself. ^-^ )
>Minako falls in line behind Akio.
>Yuffie taps her foot for a moment, then reaches into her pocket and pulls out a
green marble. She pops it into her mouth, and takes a hard bite. ^_^

>Lyrae quietly says, "Um.. y'know we could go to the cafe if you're hungry..."
>Lyrae . o O ( I don't want to know what else she'll pull out of there.. )
>Keiko says, "Err... Did I miss something? ^-^"
>Kim say Good idea.. n.n;
>Kim says, "Good idea.. n.n;"

>Keiko. o O ( Eheh... Please don't let the dragon guy challenge me at the show.
*Please* don't let the dragon guy challenge me at the show! )
>S. Ryu stretches quietly, in a display of..rather developed muscles. x.x
>Keiko. o O ( Okay... Don't let the little kid challenge me at the show! Wait...
If he challenged me, I could let him win! Of course! )
>S. Ryu puts his arms down, and pulls an apple from that bag that never seems to
get empty. o.o
>Keiko. o O ( Why... did... my boss have to take me here? I'm good, yet one loss
could ruin my whole career! )
>Garr . o O ( Things are very quiet... but there is more going on here then is
apparent. )
>If it weren't for those glasses, you would notice that Keiko is *very* nervous.
>S. Ryu casually chomps into his apple..it's something to do at least.
>Garr asks, "You mentioned something last night, about a show, am I correct?"
>Keiko says, "Um... Hai."
>Remo walks in from the city square.
>Remo has arrived.
>Keiko asks, "Why?"
>Remo looks around
>Garr shifts his spear slightly. "Because it might be a way to pass the time.
This city is big, and peaceful."
>Keiko says, "Eheh... The show? It's just a bunch of hype. You really don't need
to go see it."
>Keiko exclaims, "Keiko said it herself!"
>Garr raises an eyebrow. "Then why all the advertising?"
>Keiko says, "Oh... Hype."
>S. Ryu . o O ( Garr'll win..no questions. @_@ )
>Garr . o O ( Perhaps I am getting out of practice... but there are more
immediate concerns. )
>Remo from a disteance asks, "Does anyone know if there is a bank in this town?"
>Keiko says, "It's just so that Keiko and her employers get some money. They pay
for her to do stunts... some of them are quite dangereous."
>Garr raises an eyebrow. "Bank? I am sure there is one, but I do not know where."
>Remo growls a bit, "Well...thats no fun..."
>Remo storms off to city hall
>Remo walks back to the city square.

>Keiko says, "Hai."
>S. Ryu says, "Lotsa people strange here." n.n;

>S. Ryu nods! ^_^ "Sure!"
>Destiny's stare becomes rock solid as she studies Keiko.

>Garr stands up, reaching down to pull up his belt. He puts his hand on his
shoulder, turning his neck to help lossen it up.
>Sanban_Ryu falls in line behind you.
>Destiny's gaze shifts to Garr, noting how massive the guardian really is.
>Keiko now wants to get out of here quickly. O.O Anyone studying her for that
long has a reaosn for doing so. O.O;;
>Destiny tilts her head a bit, her gaze falling back to Keiko.
>Garr turns to leave the area, giving Destiny a slow glance as he does so.

You walk back to the Midgaard Square.
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.

each step.

>Keiko blinkblinks at Felicia. . o O ( Another neko-chan...? )
>Minako looks around at the arriving (to her at least) youma. She stands up and
grabs Felicia's hand, "...c'mon...let's get out of here..."
>Gunter wanders over to a lamp post and leans up against it.. folding his arms
and turning his eyes up to glance around at everyone.
>Felicia blinks at the grab and glances around quickly.
>Felicia falls in line behind Minako.
>Minako leaves east.

someone up. I don't know who... someone.... anyone that looks like a jerk. To

>Gambit looks questioningly to Keiko.

You depart to the north.
Tyr Road [200](#228RL)
The 200 block of Tyr Road is almost exclusively fancy hotels and high-rise
apartment buildings. Available in a wide range of designs, from the mundane
box-shape, to more architecturally enthralling towers such as 'The Obelisk'.
Housing this close to the middle of everything isn't cheap, but it isn't as
expensive as owning your own home farther out to the east, either. The area is
also clean..and a few commercial buildings are scattered about..though they're
rather limited.

You depart to the north.
Intersection: Thor/Tyr
This intersection is relatively nice, if not for the lingering darkness to the
west on Thor Street. Luckily, all the streetlamps here are replaced
regularly..any graffiti is cleaned up almost immediately..and a neighbourhood
police patrol keeps an eye out for any shifty and suspicious types wandering
about. To the east, Thor Boulevard is a much more lively and light
place..housing many people in small housing complexes, and a few larger,
upper-middle class homes. To the South, Tyr Road continues in that direction,
with a mixture of hotels and apartment buildings. To the north, it seems to
disperse at an obscure point..though a few eateries catering to myriad tastes
can be seen.

You enter the cafe.
Main Room
This is a sizable and comfy room of a relatively small cafe on the corner of
Thor East and Tyr. Tables are lined about neatly in an L coordination about a
likely L-shaped counter, where foot stools are placed for extra seating.
Behind the counter, a large cutout in the wall allows communication between the
registreers and the cooks, and the waitress or waiter on duty moves back and
forth from this room to the kitchen through a wooden door placed to the side of
it. Set into the northeastern corner, are two public payphones, the restrooms,
and some stairs, apparently leading up to an apartment above. There is little
to know decoration of the mostly wood-furnished structure, and what there is
seems to be following a 50s theme. With a few nostalgic objects of yore, most
notably a jukebox. (Use 'menu' and 'order' to order things.)

>Garr arrives, with Sanban_Ryu and Keiko following behind.
>Yuffie blinks, then squints for a moment. She cocks her head, then turns to
Lyrae. "Hey, is that a guy or a girl? o.o Blatant, isn't she? ^_^;"
>Garr bows his head as he enters so he is able to fit through the doors. He
places his spear on the floor near the entrance and somehow manages to fit in a
chair at one of the tables.
>Haruka smirks slightly before lowering her head and closing her eyes, looking
as if she's taking a nap
>Lyrae reaches up absently to touch her cross, then blinks at Yuffie. "Um.." She
looks over at Haruka, a bit sheepish now, then waves as the trio enters the
room o.o and looks to Yuffie, shrugging and mouthing 'I have no idea' o.o
>S. Ryu follows Garr in suit, taking a seat near his. o.o
>Gunter walks in from the street outside.
>Gunter has arrived.
>Yuffie blinks at Lyrae's answer, then nods. "Okay. I'll go find out." ^_^
She hops to her feet, then walks on over to Haruka, leaning this way and that
in hopes of discerning what Haruka is. -.o o.- o.o =.= 0.o o.0 @_@

thing is in here too... ) u.u
>Lyrae moves her hand from her cross, then erps and hises sftly, "Yuffie!! Get
back over here! x.x"
>Garr clasps his hands in front of him. Odd that this titan is followed by a
young boy, and a teenage girl. "Take as much time as you need to order."
>Yuffie doesn't really catch the hiss, just noticing that Lyrae is trying to say
something. She looks over her shoulder at Lyrae and waves a hand, mouthing
'Don't worry!' ^_^ Then, she stops before Haruka and clears her throat. o.o
>Lyrae meeeeeps and shakes her hand, waving a hand o O ( Oh lord.. ) "Would you
get back here x.x x.x x.x"

>Yuffie lowers her hand to her side, blinking. "Umn... well... I just wanted to
know." ^_^; <--- She's curious. c.c Be glad she isn't normal right now. :D
>Otherwise she'd just do a strip search on Haruka. x.x;
>Haruka says, "Curiosity kills, kid."
>Lyrae jumps a bit, pikus and looks left, "Oh hello Gunter.. I didn't see you
coming in." She replies, keeping her attention mostly on Haruka and Yuffie.
>Garr keeps his hands in front of him as he listens to the conversations...
>Yuffie leans over, blinking at Haruka. "Don't worry. ^_^ I'm not a cat." :D
>Lyrae n.n;
>Gunter eehs... the walks away from Lyrae's table and finds his own, way off
where no one else is. u.u
>S. Ryu places an order of fries. o.o Those starchy potatoe sticks that at least
taste good with ketchup.
>Haruka says, "No, I said curiosity kills KIDS."
>Lyrae o.-
>Yuffie crosses her arms, beginning to look a bit peeved. "Mou! I'm not a
kid... I'm seventeen!" She looks over her shoulder at Lyrae, hoping to make
sure as she mouths the words 'Did I get that right?' o.o
>Lyrae bllinkblinks, and nods n.n;;;;;
>Lyrae . o O ( She's going to get herself killed o.o; )
>Garr refrains from ordering. Not that anyone serving would pay attention to
what he's saying.
>Keiko orders a salad. -.-
>Haruka arches a brow as she gives Yuffie another look-over "I couldn't tell...."
>Yuffie smiles at Lyrae, turning back to face Haruka, then reddens at Haruka's
reply. "HEY! Why'd you say that?" =.=
>Lyrae covers her mouth with her hand. o O ( Oh dear )
>Haruka shrugs as she stands, towering over Yuffie "Just an observation. Just
like yours."
>Lyrae . o O ( Tall o.o; )
>Garr doesn't seem to notice. He's the tallest, after all.

it. "Don't make me bop you in the face, It!"

name? ^_^;;"

again. "Well? Why can't ya tell me if you're a guy or a girl? Don't you
know?" =.=

to know..."

*creaking gears* )

for?" She blinks at Lyrae. o.o
>Haruka grins as she looks to Yuffie "You can't fault a person for it..."
>Garr looks down at Ryu, ignoring the... interesting banter in the background.
>Lyrae grins back at Haruka sheepishly, then tilts her head at Yuffie, covering
her mouth as she stifles a giggle. "Well it's not -really- something vital that
needs to be known ne.. and if Haruka doesn't want to say, then we shouldn't
pry."
>S. Ryu munches on potatoe sticks. x.x
>Yuffie blinks as she gets an idea! 0.0 "Ah hah!" She spins in place, then
POINTS at Haruka's nose! "I've got it! If you're a guy, I'll ask you for a
date! And if you're a girl, I'll ask you where you got your hair cut!" =.=

that logic at ALL.

watches and tries not to giggle.

to find out what you were first..." She laughs, uneasily. *o_o*;

she lies she goes to hell! I think..." c.c

her knees, rubbing at her eyes. ;0;

then GLARES at Haruka. "..."

face.

face miraculously, as she pats Yuffie lightly n.n;
>Haruka smirks as she looks to Yuffie "Look, if you don't want to go out then
fine. Just... be more careful next time."
>Gunter hmms... then reaches up to the center of the table. His eyes glow a
icey blue color an frost and mist begins puffing from his hands onto the table.
o.-
>Yuffie lets out a LONG breath of relief. "... phew... um.. then can you tell
me what you are?" ^^;
>Lyrae >.>
>Gunter finishes... a little Garr statue made of ice sitting on the table. n.n
Haruka says, "As I said, it's not important."
>Garr slowly looks over to Gunter's table. He looks like he's about to say
something... but he just orders a hamburger. Go figure.
>Yuffie blinks, then growls again. "I did NOT just go through that to not find
out!" >.<
>Gunter draws his hand back... and *WHACKS* the statue... shattering it into a
mist. u.u
>Lyrae 9.9 o O ( Her we go again. )
>Garr eyes Gunter again. The symbolism is obvious. He smiles. With luck, Ryu
wasn't watching.
>Gunter gets an idea! . o O ( 2 + 2 = 2 )
>Yuffie darts out a hand to grab Haruka's collar. o_o
>Lyrae blinks, not expecting that, "..Ah..Yuffie? What're you doing?"
>Haruka steps back, casually, her long legs pulling her well away from Yuffie
>Gunter stands up and looks over at Yuffie, "Yuffie! Think about it... if
Haruka was a guy, then he would be estatic to date you... being that he would
be 'male'. But Haruka's not... so Haruka is obviously female. Or... both..."
c.c
>Garr orders a hamburger. Kaori-chan smiles, "One hamburger, coming up!"
>Kaori-chan yells in back to the cook, "Hamburger!" The cook nods, "Hamburger.."
>Lyrae mutters softly, "That's a pretty big assumption."
>Gunter thinks he just boosted Yuffie's ego in some sense... u.u;
>Kaori-chan finally comes out, Garr's hamburger in hand, and sets it before him,
"There ya are, sugar."
>Yuffie pauses in midstep, then nods! "Say... maybe you're right!" Though
she's not as vain as she once was, she does still think men are a bunch of
hormone ridden fools. ^_^
>Lyrae 9.9
>Lyrae . o O ( I don't know what the big deal is anyway..sheesh. )
>Gunter sits back down and mumbles, "... course... I'd never date a little girl
like you, but..." 9.9
>Haruka wags her finger "Not if it meant that by dating you I'd be cheating on
someone... then maybe I'm NOT dating you to be faithful."
>S. Ryu orders a hotdog, while Kaori-chan smiles and nods.
>Kaori-chan yells in back to the cook, "One hot dog!" The cook grins knowingly,
while Kaori heads back into the kitchen with a worried look. o O ( No.. ..not
that.. ..why me.. )
>Kaori-chan starts to bring the hotdog to S. Ryu, but.. ..gets caught midway
back with a hunger in her eyes. Futilely, she covers her eyes, "No.. ..must..
..resist..the hotdog! You don't control me anymore!" Suddenly with a cackle,
she crams the poor frankfurter in her mouth, bun, wiener, toppings and
all..much to the shock of all gathered. As she comes back to..she looks around
with a blush..and slides back behind the counter as though nothing happened at
all. *^_^*
>Yuffie freezes in the action of turning around. "...."
>Lyrae glances at Yuffie, "Haruka's gt a point there."
>Yuffie takes a calm breath, turns around, then makes a frantic dash forward in
hopes of tearing Haruka's shirt open. x.x
>Garr says, in a deep voice, "......."
>Lyrae lets out a squeak as Yuffie dashes forward, o O ( Oh god, she's not
thinking of what I think she's thinking is she? o.o
>Keiko says, "Gah! O.O"
>Haruka hops up and out of the way, coming to rest on a table acroos the way
"Hey now... no need for violence...."
>Lyrae shouts, "Yuffie, stop that!"
>S. Ryu blinks.. x.x
>Garr puts his hand in front of Ryu's eyes for a moment >^ ^<
>Gunter looks over at Ryu. . o O ( Kids probably going to see his first bare
chest... ) c.c
>Gunter neverminds. n.n;
>Yuffie shakes her head! "I've gotta know! @_@" She leaps through the air at
Haruka! 0.0 "Tellmetellme!" x.x
>S. Ryu grumbles. =.=
>Garr looks down at Ryu with the 'It's for your own good' look that big adults
give children
>Haruka hops backward from table to table, reminicent of Ranma hopping away from
Ryoga's blows "Whywhywhy?" Oo;
>Lyrae @sweatdrops and raises her hand, a small orb on her bracelet glowing,
"Stop!"
>Yuffie freezes in mid-air, making no other movements, not even by the force of
gravity.
>Garr hmms quietly as he observes Yuffie. "..."
>Lyrae . o O ( Jeez this is as bad as when she was attacking Tifa.. and if
Haruka gets mad too then Yuffie's probably going to be worse off.. Oh it
worked. )
>Haruka freezes in mid hop Oo; (Masaka...)
>Lyrae sighs and lowers her hand again, blinking. o O ( ...I didn't think she'd
hang there o.o; )
>Gunter coughs... o.O
>Lyrae blinks a few times o.o;
>S. Ryu taps his little foot, boredly. -.-
>Garr drops his hand, picking the hamburger up with it, and swallowing it in
one bite
>Haruka mutters under her breath "Setsuna..?"
>Gunter. o O ( o/~ I don't like the drugs... but the drugs like me... o/~ ) >.<
>Lyrae pokes at Yuffie's leg -.o; and tugs lightly, to see if she can perhaps
move the girl so when the spell wears off, she won't hitthe floor very
painfully.
>Yuffie is stuck there, frozen in time for a bit. o_o
>Lyrae blinkblinks, "Gee.." o.o;
>Lyrae pushes her hair over her shoulder. ".." And looks at Haruka, bowing
again, "Sorry about that."
>Haruka would bow back but was told to 'stop' n.n;
>Yuffie unfreezes, dropping towards the ground. x.x
>Lyrae reaches her arms out and catches Yuffie x.x
>Yuffie gets caught. "OOF" @_@
>Lyrae glances at Haruka and grins weakly, hefting Yuffie over her shouulder
^_^;;
>Garr (OOC) erks, and has to run O.o; ;_: Will be back later, if anyone is
interested, though I'm sure someone of you won't mind the departure of the
big-dragon-gargoyle-thingy
