Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room
Tifa's Seventh Heaven Bar has a campy feeling to it, primarily constructed of
dark wood with occasional items for decoration. Several worn tables grace the
area near the door, looking beaten up from years of patrons. The bar is more
well kept, stocked with a vast amount of alcoholic beverages and components for
mixed drinks. The room is just a tad dimly lit, feeling cozy and familiar at
the same time. Other areas of interest are the entrance to the kitchen, and a
porch with some comfy chairs. All in all, the Seventh Heaven is a nice tribute
to what someone can put together for a business if they try. A machine for a
game similar to pinball sits on the less used side of the room, sporting an
"Out of Order" sign. Most of the damage that was obvious only a little while
ago is now repaired with more permenant fixes, so the bar once again is back to
it's former self.

>Ryan steps in, a wary smile on his face ^^;
>Lyrae is tending the bar right now, her attention on the counter. Darn spots.
>Butz shakes his head. Whatever he's thinking about is staying in its bottle. n.n
>Astrid is examining the grain of the wood at his table in fascination, and
fails to notice Ryan arrive.
>Ryan sweatdrops. Ryan's just old news, I guess. ;_;
>*giggle*
>Lyrae wipes the same spot three times until she realizes someone else just
walked in. She looks up cautiously -.o
>You have to remember, Butz shows no surprise unless a female says something
suggestive to him. n.n
>Yeah that'd be a surprise all right. n.n
>Butz (OOC) smacks. n.n;
>Lyrae (OOC) OWS ;D
>Ryan takes a seat at the bar. "Hey, um, Lyrae...?"
>Lyrae (OOC) behaves n.n
>Butz (OOC) smacks both spoofers, then, since Lyrae likes having him 'hit' on
her. u.u
>Lyrae (OOC) throws another straw at Butz
>Astrid (OOC) sits happily in Switzerland. ^_^
>Lyrae looks a bit skittish as she looks up, tensely, "..Hai?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "You, ah, haven't seen Derek around recently,
have you?"
>Lyrae (OOC) *.* at Astrid, "Send me all the chocolates!"
>Lyrae's expression goes as guarded as an expression can -get-. "..No.." She
looks away, "I spoke with him briefly last night."
>Astrid raises his eyes as Lyrae speaks, and studies Ryan for several moments.
>Ryan narrows his eyes. It was worth a shot, at least. "... I see."
>Lyrae keeps her voice perfectly level, though she does work her way down the
counter opposite Ryan, "Why?" -.-
>Ryan raps his fingers on the bar. "Because I'm worried about him. And you are
too."
>Lyrae quietly says, "I am?" She doesn't look worried, or sound the least bit
worried. She looks more..annoyed actually.
>Lyrae didn't have a pleasant conversation with him last night, no. n.n
>Ryan sweatdrops. Hmm. "... Never mind."
>Lyrae fidgets, eyeing the door. Three people in a room make her veeerry edgy.
But she's bored, so she stays for now.
>Butz puts a few facts together. Eheh...what -is- it with those two. o.O;
>Lyrae (OOC) tickles Astrid and indicates your pose, "You raised your eyes ^_^"
>Ryan finally spots Astrid. "Oh, uh, hello again."
>Astrid (OOC) sweatdrops. He was looking down. I'm not a freak, I'm NOT a freak!
*They* dressed me up like this!
>Astrid observes, "You're injured."
>Lyrae (OOC) Ohs and LAUGHS! *hugs* Okay okay, sorry!

Astrid
This dark-skinned young man is altogether unprepossessing, and tends to
be easily overlooked at first. Fine blue-black hair is tied back at the
nape of his neck before falling halfway down his back, and his eyes, a
brilliant green, are alert and interested. On second thought, Astrid is
rather striking; how did you overlook him in the first place? He wears
a pair of stonewashed jeans and a burgundy muscle shirt, which shows
off his nice physique well. Tennis shoes of ancient origin (or so their
state hints) protect his feet, and he almost constantly bends to re-tie
their laces, which seem predisposed to the untied state.

>Astrid says, "(OOC) S'okay. I admit when I looked at it again, I thought it was
a typo, too. x.x"
>Lyrae (OOC) n.n;
>Ryan blinks, not sure if Astrid was referring to him or not. "Hmm? Yeah, a
little."
>Lyrae stares at the counter, then frowns and starts wiping it down again, going
over the same spot until it shines. I can see myself in it now!
*shineshinegleam*
>Astrid asks, "May I ask what happened?"
>Ryan sweatdrops in Lyrae's direction . o O ( o/~ She's obsessing again... )
He turns to Astrid, commenting, "Eh? Just got in a little fight with some big
ogre."
>Lyrae . o O ( "Bad Luck Lyrae" struck again. )
>Lyrae certainly is obsessing, but for the better darnit!
>Astrid digests that. "Do you enjoy it?"
>Ryan blinks. "Not really. He was no fun at all, just stomping back and forth,
*graaughing* and *rraughing* to himself. Boring."
>Lyrae blinks, hearing something from her bag. She turns and kneels, "Okay, in a
minute.." She picks up a red and white ball.
>Lyrae sweatdrops at Ryan.
>What!? It's TRUE!
>Lyrae pushes the button on the pokeball and sets it down.
>Pikachu steps out of the tent.
>Pikachu has arrived.
>Pikachu pikas!, "Pi Pikachu!"
>Ryan blinks. "...?"
>Lyrae giggles. "Stuffy in there huh?"
>Pikachu'n.n'
>Pikachu looks at Lyrae and nods, "Pika." 'n.n'
>Lyrae picks up the pokeball.
>Astrid corrects, "In general, I meant." His eyes follow Pikachu with avid
curiosity.
>Lyrae smiles and reaches her left hand down, "Hop up kiddo."
>Pikachu hops up Lyrae's arm, making its way to her shoulder 'n.n'
>Ryan blinks at Astrid, scratching his head. "Well... I don't mind friendly
brawls now and then, keeps you in shape, it's just these endless deathmatches
that get to ya after a while."
>Lyrae grins faintly and scritches the pokemon, then goes back to scrubbing the
counter.
>Pikachu watches Lyrae clean, "Pika?" 'n.n'
>Astrid nods after a moment. o O ( That makes sense, I suppose. )
>Cammy has arrived.
>Lyrae asks gently, "Hungry?"
>Ryan blinks. "Not really, got like some chips or anything?"
>Cammy steps in, looking around before obtaining a seat at the counter. . o O (
There's the pig... )
>Lyrae nods towards Ryan, and steps into the kitchen, with Pikachu on her
shoulder.
>Pikachu pikas, "PIka." and patpats Lyrae's head 'n.n'
>Ryan doesn't like the sound of that thought.
>Lyrae smiles weakly at Pikachu and patpats its head in return. ^^
>Why would you think she means YOU, Ryan?
>... No reason? c.c
>heh heh heh..
>Butz has disconnected.
>Cammy swivels around, frowning as she drums her fingers on the countertop
lightly.
>Lyrae sets the bowl of chips down in front of Ryan - then blinks as her brain
registers room capacity. And freezes.
>Lyrae slowwwly backs away again ~.~
>Ryan blinks. "Um, Lyrae? Chips?"
>Ryan . o O ( Great, she's going bonkers on me. )
>Lyrae points at the chips, "Right there."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?..." sensing Lyrae's nervousness.
>Lyrae . o O ( Pay attention Ry, sheesh.. )
>Ryan is obviously not. He looks down. "Oh."
>Astrid stands, and heads --slowly!--toward Lyrae. "May I?"
>Butz has connected.
>Lyrae eyes Astrid, but at least he's moving slowly. She pikus, not quite
registering just what he wants, "Hm?"
>Astrid offers Lyrae a hand wordlessly.
>Cammy's glance alights on Ryan, watching him quietly for a moment.
>Pikachu looks down at the hand. 'o.o'
>Ryan eats chips. Yup, looks really dangerous.
>Cammy . o O ( Were they made by Akane? (OOC) )
>Nope. Your intestines are safe.
>Lyrae blinks slowly, and dittos Pikachu. But.. quietly nods, heading towards
Astrid's outstretched hand cautiously. One wrong move and out the door she goes.
>Cammy stands up, coming to a decision, crossing the room and seating herself
across from Ryan.
>Pikachu watches Astrid carefully
>Ryan blinks, glacing over at Cammy.
>Cammy clears her throat. "... this is gonna sound... strange... But... do you
know anyone named.. Vega?"
>Out the door is where Astrid intends to lead her, actually--assuming she's
willing to come along.
>Lyrae is willing. It's better than being -inside-, in a crowded - to her - room.
>Pikachu falls in line behind Lyrae.
>Lyrae falls in line behind Astrid.
>Ryan turns back to Lyrae and Astrid. Something funky is going on, but Astrid's
one of the more sane ones, so... Well, it's not like he can keep Lyrae out of
trouble anyway. At Cammy's question, eh replies, "Oh, that arrogant fighting
guy?"
>Lyrae leaves, with Pikachu following behind her.
>Astrid leaves, with Lyrae following behind him.
>Cammy asks, ".. yeah." She sounds a little dodgy. "... what can you tell me
about him?"
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. "Only seen him a few times. Almost as good looking as
me. Lot more obnoxious."
>Cammy smirks faintly. "That all you got?"
>Cammy stands up, with a sigh. ".. guess I'll just have to go fight him..."
>Ryan smirks. "Well, he's also a better fighter then he looks."
>Cammy says, "... I remember him... from somewhere. Don't know where. Need to
find out."
>Ryan rubs his chin. "Go figure."
>Cammy . o O ( I hope Hitori doesn't mind if I come home all bloodied. )
>Cammy says, "... well, thanks...." She shuts her eyes. "Jeez, I don't even know
your name."
>Ryan hmms. "I'd show ya where he lives, if I didn't have this sneaking
suspicion you were going to run out and get in trouble. And it's Ryan."
>Cammy says, "... I've been there before. And... I can handle myself."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Oh. Okay, then."
>Cammy steps away from the table. "Oh--and my name's Cammy. Cammy White."
>Ryan leans back in his seat. "Nice talkin' to ya."
>Cammy has left.
>Ryan finishes off his chips, then walks to the door to peek outside. He's not
snooping, nope 9.9

Tyr Road [300]
The apartment buildings and hotels give way to smaller, less expensive and
privately owned buildings of like sort. Then those eventually dwindle to what
you find on either side of you now. Yes, various scents of delicious food of a
wide assortment of styles, flavours, and nationalities entices your olfactorial
senses..attempting to lure you in for a bite, or five. Make no mistake,
however. It doesn't come as cheap as those fast food places around southern
Tyr Road..though you'll definately appreciate the higher quality. At a point
up ahead, the road and street becomes an unpaved trail, towards the start of
the steep walls that the mountain atol surrounding Midgaard creates. A deep
gorge carved by forces long forgotten and lost to legend is to the west
here..and a suspension bridge has been erected so that pedestrians might take a
stroll across it to Sif Way to the east, and marvel at it.

>Ryan watches from the door. He's not snooping, nope 9.9
>Astrid nods. "Good...."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi...ka...." '-_-'
>Lyrae keeps this up for a few minutes, before her eyes suddenly snap open
again, pale.
>Lyrae (OOC) inserts face in there, though her eyes are pale too. . yeah that
works n.n;
>Astrid asks, "Is something wrong?"
>Pikachu blinkblinks and looks at Lyrae
>Pikachu pikas?, "Pika?"
>Astrid . o O ( ....she was relaxing. I'm sure of it. )
>Astrid glances briefly to the door and Ryan, then back at Lyrae. She's his
concern at the moment.
>Yah, that's the key word. Was ^_^; Lyrae stares straight ahead for a minute,
before she blinks, and looks towards Astrid, "S..s..sorry.."
>Astrid shakes his head gravely, and says patiently, "Try again. If it makes you
feel safer, leave your eyes open. But don't look at anything." Well, it makes
perfect sense to HIM.
>Ryan . o O ( ....? What's up? )
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?..." being kinda confused.
>Lyrae blinks and frowns for a minute. She casts a quick glance to the sky,
shuddering slightly, then nods again. At the moment, there are too many things
to look at that catch her eye so it takes a while until her eyes unfocus
slightly.
>Pikachu blinkblinks
>Pikachu doesn't disturb Lyrae. It just watches her instead.
>Lyrae remains this way for several seconds, staying as still as a statue,
tensely o.o Very slowly, she starts to untense again.
>Astrid's voice is low, barely audible. He suggests, "Just float. Don't think
about anything for a few moments. Then imagine the multiverse. It's very
large. There are galaxies out there that have never heard of your difficulties.
They can be that small to you, too; it is merely a matter of perspective."
>Lyrae falls asleep standing up! Well no, but it's a thought. .
>Astrid says, "You can't sort anything out from within your own mind; it's too
personal. One trips over one's own thoughts. When you're ready, look at things
from without--from very, very far away."
>Pikachu's ears droop as it sways slightly on Lyrae's shoulder
>Lyrae focuses on the barely audible tone of Astrid's voice, almost giving
herself the added sensation of floating. And she takes that advice, holding
fast to it. When she is ready, at least..she does relax a lot more noticeably.
>Ryan . o O ( ........? )
>Astrid smiles, very faintly. He falls silent again, and lets Lyrae sort through
her thoughts in her own time.
>Pikachu sits on Lyrae's shoulder instead of stands /=.=\
>Lyrae murmurs softly after a minute, in a detached tone. "I have to start over
again.." Half a question, half a comment.
>Astrid says, "...Maybe. Or work at things from the outside, as though it were a
bird's nest. Pick the problem apart bit by bit--not all at once."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika...." /=.=\ swaying back and forth
>Lyrae quietly says, "..but if the wrong problem is tackled, the entire nest
falls."
>Astrid considers that. "Find someone--or several someones--to support the
structure while you work."
>Ryan . o O ( ... I don't know about that Foil jerk, but every time I see one of
these guys my impression goes up. )
>Tamahome arrives from the south.
>Lyrae falls silent for a moment, "..not alone.." she pauses, and continues,
"..but some are part of it."
>Ryan stands in the doorway of the bar, trying to be mildly inconspicuous.
>Lyrae stands in front of Astrid, eyes unfocused, in a semi-meditative state.
>Pikachu's half asleep on her right shoulder.
>Astrid asks, "....Then perhaps they have all the more reason to help you
untangle it?"
>Tamahome walks happily down the street, counting a few coins. He blinks, and
immediatly pockets them. He peers around slowly...opportunity awaits. ^_^
>Lyrae quietly says, "No.. I mean . . part of the problem."
>Astrid nods gravely. "Also possibly part of the solution."
>Lyrae doesn't follow that one so good.. "..how?"
>Tamahome peers over towards Astrid slowly. o.-
>Ryan watches Lyrae and Astrid closely. He doesn't spot Tamahome, yet.
>Astrid nods somberly to Tamahome before returning his gaze to Lyrae. He ponders
silently for some time, then: "It probably depends on their involement. Allies
can be part of a problem as easily as any foe." He winces ruefully, but goes
on. "Speak with them. Communicate with them."
>Lyrae goes silent for an even longer amount of time, curling herself into a
tight ball mentally. Very slightly, her head shakes in the negative.
>Pikachu blinkblinks as it gets tapped by Lyrae's shaking head /=.=\
>Pikachu falls asleep on Lyrae's shoulder /-.-\
>Pikachu has to go! (ooc)
>Lyrae (OOC) hugs n.n
>Ryan (OOC) See ya
>Pikachu pikas, "Baibai! (ooc) 'n.n'"
>Pikachu has disconnected.
>Astrid asks, "... ... You don't want to. Why?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "..can't.." Her voice dips, nearly inaudible, "I don't want
to go through that again."
>Ryan watches this... admittedly unusual therapy session with distinct interest.
>Astrid tilts his head slightly. "... You wish to start again, because it's
easier than unraveling the difficulty. I suppose I'm in no position to contest
that truth. But is there nothing of your experience that is worth the effort?"
>Lyrae shakes her head, her voice remaining quiet. "No.."
>Lyrae . o O ( Nothing worth is going through that.. )
>Lyrae . o O ( Speak well can't I? )
>Tamahome then, snaps his head over to Ryan, spotting him finally. ^_^ . o O (
Ha ha! A sucker awaits! )
>Lyrae turns into Yoda. AAIIIEE!!
>Ryan is NOT a sucker o.=;
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Astrid considers that for a very long time. He finally says, "I can't make that
decision for you."
>Tamahome approaches Ryan, with his happy-days(tm) sort of smile. "Why, hello
there!" smile-smile. . o O ( This is going to be too easy! ^_^ )
>Ryan sweatdrops in Tamahome's general direction. "... Yeah?"
>Lyrae sighs softly, "I know. But..nothing.. no matter what..nothing is worth
going through that again..I'd die first."
>Astrid answers simply, "Then do not. Begin anew, if that's what you must do."
>Astrid (OOC) pushes his glasses up his nose and gestures to the couch. "Seet
down, Lyrrrrae. Tell me about your mozher..."
>Tamahome smiiiiles, as he suddenly POSES! "This is YOUR lucky day, sir! I have
the perfect product for YOU!" ^_- <-- OH MY GOD! It's a door to door salesman,
flee for your sanity!
>Lyrae asks gently, "..even if that goes against other people's wishes?"
>Ryan takes a step back. You're scary O_o
>Lyrae (OOC) lies down on the couch. "You don't wanna know Doc, trust me o.o"
>Astrid asks, "Your friends?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "Hai.."
>Lyrae is glad she can't see Tamahome. She really -would- run screaming then.
>Astrid asks after a moment, "Is it not the premise of friends to want what is
best for you?"
>Tamahome smiles, and happily follows Ryan. "THIS, my dear friend, is..." he
SNAPS out a chocolate bar immediatly, showing it in front of Ryan afterwards,
"....a special triple deluxe thingamagig from a whole nother world! WOW! You
can't find stuff like that HERE! And, here I have one, ready to be sold right
before your very own eyes!"
>Tamahome (OOC) Your next. n.-
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Fat chance ^^"
>Ryan sweatdrops. "It's a Hershey bar. You can get 'em at the Quickie Mart for
60 cents."
>Lyrae quietly says, "Yes..but sometimes what they think is the best for me
isn't.."
>Malon runs in and snatches the chocolate, "I'll take that thank you!" *runs off*
>Astrid admits, "I am inexperienced with the concept, so I could be wrong. But
it seems to me if they are your friends, and see that you are happy, they will
understand."
>Tamahome blinks slightly, and he sweatdrops. ^_^;; . o O ( A what bar? ) "WELL!
You don't see a Quickie Mart anywhere around here, now DO YOU? And, besides!
This is a SPECIAL hershey bar!"
>Tamahome (OOC) @.@ at Malon. Hey! Get back to where you belong, you! (@BOOTS)
o.-
>Luke arrives, with Tasuki following behind.
>Lyrae's expression moves from detached and peaceful to worried, slightly sad,
"But they may be hurt in the process.. and I don't want to hurt anyone."
>Tasuki says, "Waitup, dude."
>Luke staggers in right towards the door, not even giving the others as much as
a 'hi', muttering to himself while clenching his teeth in pain...the man turns
toward his also injured buddy. "...what?"
>Tasuki looks around the area, he doesn't look great. Fairly dirty..not to
mention a large gash on his lower left abdomen, which seems to have been
bleeding recently, although not now.
>Ryan just stares at Tamahome. "...."
>Lyrae doesn't even blink. She doesn't notice any of the incoming..
>Lyrae loves trances that way.
>Tasuki glances over at Astrid, "Not green..." He then looks over at Tamahome,
his eyes widening. "Tamahome, you're Tamahome, aren't you?!"
>Tamahome continues, as he keeps the chocolate bar shown before Ryan...that
sucker! Ah heck, he'll probably fall for anything! ^_- "You see! This bar, it
was held by the wonderful world renouned Suzaku no Miko! Now...What do you
have to say to THAT? Normaly, things like this would sell for 50 gold pieces,
but I'll sell it to you at discount! Only 5 gold pieces! What a bargain! ^_^"
>Luke walks towards the bar, not even waiting up for Tasuki.
>Luke has left.
>Astrid says gravely, "That is your choice to make, Lyrae." He would normally be
fascinated by the newcomers, but his attention is focused on the girl before
him.
>Tamahome blinks slightly, as he hears a familiar voice, he blinks, sweatdrops.
. o O ( Nah, couldn't be...I'm hearing things. ^_^; )
>Ryan stares at Tamahome. "Go away."
>Lyrae bows her head slightly, "..Happiness and pain go hand and hand for this.."
>Tamahome BLINKS at Ryan, "Oh, I'm HURT! How could you say such a thing on
this? You are giving up such a great deal as THIS?"
>Ryan nods. "Ayup."
>Astrid admits a bit sadly, "It does seem that is often the way of things."
>Astrid offers after another moment, "Are they worth it?"
>Tamahome shrugs, and nods, "Well, suit yourself! I'm sure there are TONS of
people who will gladly buy this! You could be the first! ^_^;"
>Ryan shrugs at Tamahome. "Whatever."
>Lyrae asks gently, "... ... ... yes.." Her eyes refocus for a second, hiding
something within the jade depths, "They have to be..otherwise what's the point
of it all..?"
>Tamahome sweatdrops at Ryan, and nods. "Eheh..Well, uh, okay. If you wish to
give up such a bargain, I'm not one to argue." he turns away afterwards,
snapping his finger. . o O ( Damn, if only he had never seen that uh...
choco-thingabober bar thing before it would of worked. o.- )
>Astrid studies Lyrae. "You determine the point. I have it on the
authority of several excellent sources: Only you can determine your purpose."
>Lyrae grins wryly, "Seems like lately it's to be life's punching bag.. or
victim." She snorts softly.
>Astrid's forehead creases slightly. "You chose this?"
>Ryan . o O ( ... What a loon O_o )
>Lyrae quietly says, "I didn't choose it, no.. I was born into it."
>Tasuki mutters, "Don't notice me, huh...god damn it... lekka shien!" He waves
his fan overhead, sending a sort of 'warning flare'...IE, column of flame,
straight up into the air. Also good for blowing up airplanes. o.o
>My what a big bird Tasuki just blew up! Maw we're eatin' good t'nite!
>Astrid glances up at the gout of flame, and stares for a moment before
answering Lyrae. ".... I see. Are you certain of that?"
>Astrid (OOC) sweatdrops. Born to be a punching bag? o.o;
>Lyrae quietly says, "There's no other way to explain it ... I was born with
..interesting luck."
>Lyrae (OOC) nods ^_^; I'm a professional Punching bag/victim. Kids don't try
this at home n.n
>Ryan glances at Tasuki c.c;
>Tamahome BLINKS. O.O and snaps his head over towards Tasuki. He blinks again,
".....Hey..." He sweatdrops, and ZIPS on over and BAPS Tasuki on the head.
"......Tasuki! ^_-"
>Astrid (OOC) throws his hands up. You're on your own, sister.
>Lyrae (OOC) ;.; at Astrid. I lost more friends that way *sniffle*
>Ryan (OOC) See what I've had to deal with, Astrid? o.=;
>Astrid comments, "Born with is not the same as born -to-. But if you have
chosen your purpose, or your purpose has chosen you, there is no running from
it."
>Lyrae (OOC) bursts into tears. ;.; Meanies!!
>Tamahome (OOC) Oh, I've been there, done that. So has Tasuki. But,
then...Tasuki's the Suzaku's punching bag. Hes allready reserved. >:)
>Astrid (OOC) packs a suitcase, and offers Ryan one. Wanna vacation in tahiti?
>Ryan (OOC) Sure!
>Tamahome (OOC) will sell the tickets, and suitcases! *_*
>Lyrae (OOC) thinks you'd have more fun in the Bermuda Hawaiian Triangle
>Tasuki grrs! "I'm in ****ing pain right now, you idiot!" And he sort of signals
the large gash on his abdomen. -.-
>Lyrae shakes her head, "No..after everything that's happened, ..that's why I
need to start over.. to find my purpose.."
>Ryan glances over at Tasuki, turning away from the therapy circle. "What
happened to you?"
>Tamahome smiiiiiles, "Oooh..Reeeally? Does it still hurt much...here?" he
pokes slightly. n.n
>Tasuki grunts, "Lekka shien!" And he sends a nice wave of friendly fire at
Tama-chan. n.n
>Tamahome FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, and becomes a nice friendly burnt ash figure. @.@;
>Can it be a circle with only two people?
>Astrid has clearly been thinking about purposes a great deal lately. "Then you
must stop thinking in terms of your old purpose, or you can never leave it
behind. If you no longer name yourself a victim, you will no longer be one."
>Astrid murmurs, almost inaudibly, "...but you must be willing to change."
>Lyrae pauses. . her thoughts taking a sudden U-turn to something..or
someone..else. "..unless you think you've already lost everything, and then .."
She brings her hand to her face thoughtfully.
>Ryan blinks, taking a step AWAY from the pyro. "..."
>Tasuki grins fangedly, "Hot enough for ya, Tama-chan? n.n"
>Astrid asks, "...and then?"
>Lyrae blinks at Astrid, then continues her track of thought, "..then you lose
the will.."
>Tamahome stands up quickly, and brushes the ashes off. o.- He then tries to
GRAB Tasuki and run him towards the bridge afterwards, "Quiet, you HAMMER! >.<"
>Ryan just stays OUT of this little scene n.n;
>Astrid says, "You haven't lost the will."
>Butz has arrived.
>Ryan stands to the side of the bar's door
>Lyrae shakes her head, "No.. no no, not me.." To herself she adds, "someone
else.." Then aloud, "I may not be a fighter ..but I'm not a quitter either."
She smiles weakly, "..the more pain life throws at me, the more I-" o O (
Repress ) "Adapt to it.. "
>Lyrae stands, talking with Astrid apart from the others.
>Tasuki says, "Aiiie! No! Don't! Don't! You'll...get my tessen wet! It'll rust!
DOOOON'T!" He pales very much at the thought of a nice dunk.
>Butz walks out from the bar at an idle place, having gotten a bit bored of
talking to himself. n.n
>Tamahome holds Tasuki over the edge of the bridge playfully,
"Ooooh..Reeeaaally? Do you...... give up? >:)"
>Astrid says, "Adaptation is the key to survival."
>Lyrae (OOC) doesn't say it Butz. (And if those of you who know me iRL wanna
live, you won't say it either ^_^ )
>Ryan (OOC) .....? n.n;
>Lyrae nods at Astrid, "Hai.. I adapt to the pain and accept it.. and avoid
dwelling on it."
>Lyrae (OOC) grins at Ryan ^_^;
>Lyrae (OOC) o/~ Nooothing o/~ ^^V
>Tamahome (OOC) stays quiet. *sniff* ;_;
>Tasuki says, "Gomen! Gomen...I can't live...without my tessen...n.n;"
>Nabiki arrives from the south.
>Tamahome sets Tasuki down on the edge, then! He walks away happily. Oooh,
he'll use this against Tasuki later. But, he, the bishounen, always wins
against Tasuki! ^_-
>Lyrae . o O ( And as long as I -don't- think about..what happened.. I can move
on.. )
>Astrid expresses, with the closes thing to dry humor he has as yet displayed,
"Learning how to avoid pain is not such a bad strategy, either..."
>Nabiki says, "I can't agree with you more."
>Too bad Tasuki's cooler than Tamahome in the series n.n
>Just in the series...? ;.;
>Butz (OOC) sighs...alas, lost once more. ;.;
>Okay okay, in every way.

Lina_Inverse
Fiery red hair catches the light, making it seem more orange than red. Her
bangs wildly spill over the edge of a black headband, while the majority of her
hair's length is held back into a loose pony tail. Her figure is slim and
petite. Something obvious to be seen by the tight fitting garments she wears. A
pale yellow t-shirt is tucked neatly into her pants. Pants which are a red
jean-like material, with two brown leather belts criss crossed and hanging down
over her hips. One holds a sword, and the other a large dagger. Dark brown
heavily scuffed leather boots rimmed with fur cover her feet.
An ornate cloak, black on the outside and lined with red fabric within, rests
over her shoulders. Two triangular red flaps of fabric extend past the
rectangular covering of the outer black to hang over her shoulders. Bronze
fabric trims this area and the very tips are in fact bronze to help weigh them
down into place. Within the bronze clip are inlaid emeralds. A silver clasp and
slight length of chain holds it in place. Blue shoulder guards with a red stone
inset into each cover over the cloak and help keep it from slipping. Her slim,
finely fingered hands are covered with purplish gloves that are also lined with
fur. Over each wrist is are simple silver braclets with other red stones inset
in the middle.
Her attire is that of a sorceress, and from her cocky, confident attitude, she
seems to be good at her trade.

>Lyrae (OOC) patpats Butz n.n
>Tasuki mutters, "'m gonna get you later..." and he mutters almost inaudibly,
"Tama-chan..."
>Lyrae nods at Astrid, with a weak chuckle. Then looks over at Nabiki, waving
with her free hand n.n
>Call him Obake-chan, baka!
>Nabiki waves back to Lyrae.
>Tamahome (OOC) WHAPS the spoofer. Hey! Tasuki doesn't compare to the likes of
ME! ^_-
>Astrid bows respectfully to Lyrae, and slips unobtrusively down a side street.
>Lyrae calls after, 'Thank you!
>Astrid leaves north.
>Ryan . o O ( I'll be damned, the demon had better luck with her then I did
O_o )
>Butz glances around. Typical people doing typical things. Obviously he doesn't
fit in. ^_^; The lad strolls off to the south.
>Butz leaves south.
>Lyrae looks thoughtful as Astrid leaves, chewing on food for thought.
>Tamahome blinks slightly, and looks over towards Lina. . o O ( Hrm, I wonder if
that long haired guy over there would be a sucker, at least. o.- )
>Hippie!
>Tasuki holsters his tessen and makes...immature faces at Tamahome. o.O O.o @.x
>Lina just walks on through. She'd pause to fireball Tama if she were a thought
reader, so it's lucky for him she isn't. ^_^
>Lina_Inverse leaves south.
>Tamahome doesn't notice. n.n He approaches Lina happily, getting ready to
sca--err, talk to Lina, yeah, talk, thats it. ^_^
>Tamahome erps as Lina leaves, and hrmphs and stops right there. o.-
>Nabiki admires Tamahome's stealth. @_@
>Tasuki asks, "What's the matter, Tama, can't make any money?"
>Ryan looks over to Lyrae, trying his best to ignore all the other lunatics here.
>Lyrae looks around ..
>Lyrae blinks and looks back to Ryan.
>Nabiki smirks as she watches Tasuki and Tamahome.
>Butz arrives from the south.
>Ryan waves to Lyrae ^^;
>Tamahome peeeeeeeeeers on over to Tasuki. o.- He RUNS after him to try and hold
him over the edge of the bridge again, "HIYAAAAAA! >.<"
>Butz strolls right back in, looking slightly disturbed. o_o
>Tasuki sidesteps Tama this time. n.n; Katt's 'pavlovian training' has
apparently taught him how to dodge. o.o
>Lyrae sweatdrops and waves back. Then looks around again o.o o O ( Waitaminute.
I saw Nabiki come in, but when'd the others show up.. o.o )
>Nabiki gravitates towards Lyrae and Ryan. @_@
>Tamahome EEEEEEKS, and quickly skids to a halt...just barely before flying over
the edge. ^_^; He hrmphs, and walks away. u.u "Baka..." Then, he
hrmmms...Deciding.. . o O ( Hey! Maybe I'll find this long haired guy! I'm
sure I could make TONS of money from him! *_* )
>Ryan is comparatively stable, Nabiki n.n;
>Lyrae keeps herself at a 1-2 foot distance, smiling hesitantly as Nabiki
approaches.
>Tasuki says, "Got nothing better to do." And he follows behind Tama. To cause
him a bit of havoc, of course. n.n
>Tamahome tottles off! Skipping all the way. Money, money...Yeah, thats what I
want! *_*
>Tamahome leaves south.
>Tasuki leaves south.
>Lyrae.... o O ( He skipped..o.o )
>Ryan sweatdrops. "..." O_o;
>Nabiki asks, "Do you know those two guys who were just here?"
>Lyrae slowly looks back to Nabiki and Ryan. Just as slowly, she shakes her head
as Nabiki voices her question, "I..I was going to ask you two th..the same
thing.."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "I've met the pyro before, dunno the scam
artist."
>Nabiki shrugs, "I've seen them around before, but I have no idea who they are.
Hey, are you ok?"
>Butz just...walks over to Ryan, the -other- person he knows...that isn't at
least as timid as he is. He thumbs southward, "...I just saw a talking monkey
in an overcoat." o_o;; He looks sober. Light wine on his breath, yes, but
otherwise sober.
>Lyrae blinks at Nabiki, "Me?"
>Lyrae pointies at Ryan, "O..Or him?"
>Nabiki says, "You.. you seemed a bit out of it."
>Lyrae quietly says, "O..oh. Well.." She picks at the fabric on her sling.
"Yeah."
>Ryan nods to Butz. "That all? At least it wasn't the dolphin in a cloak."
>Lyrae catches part of Ryan and Butz's conversation. o.o;
>Nabiki nods and doesn't persue the subject.
>Lyrae asks gently, "Hn. How're things at ..at the apartment..?"
>Butz sweatdrops. "...You have a point, sir." n.n;
>Nabiki says, "There was this crazy rat there earlier, but it seems to have
disappeared. @_@"
>Ryan nods to Butz. "Darn tootin'"
>Ryan glances at Nabiki. "Pikachu?"
>Nabiki asks, "What?"
>Lyrae sweatdrops.
>Lyrae quietly says, "That wasn't a rat.. that was a pokemon.. my pokemon.
Pikachu."
>Nabiki asks, "What's a pokemon?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "I'm not sure.."
>Nabiki says, "....."
>Lyrae quietly says, "It's.. sentient and kind of resembles a mouse.. And it can
use electricity as a defense. That's as much as I know."
>Lyrae quietly says, "I caught it last night on the way home o O ( At the cost
of my ribs. -.-;; )"
>Nabiki asks, "It's your pet?"
>Ryan mumbles something about, 'if not sentient, then at least annoying'
>Nabiki glances at Ryan.
>Lyrae peers at Ryan. Methinks someone's been zapped a few times.
>Lyrae quietly says, "Um, I wouldn't say..pet. It's more of a ..companion I
guess.."
>Nabiki says, "You should have let me know, I had no idea what it was..."
>Lyrae grins weakly, "Sorry about that."
>Nabiki says, "... It's housetrained, isn't it? @_@;"
>Lyrae quietly says, "Yeah. ^_^;"
>Ryan sweatdrops at this little discussion
>Nabiki smiles. "Oh, the new furniture arrived."
>Lyrae blinks, "Really? That's great. What was the delay?"
>Nabiki says, "I'm not sure, something about a mixed up shipping order."
>Lyrae asks gently, "Well at least you got it all. How's your sister?"
>Nabiki says, "I haven't seen her since the other night, she took off before I
could find out where she's staying."
>Lyrae sweatdrops.
>Lyrae quietly says, "You haven't been seeing any ..um.." She fusses for a
polite word for 'bastard'
>Nabiki asks, "hm?"
>Lyrae fails miserably, "Any.. criminal looking types around the apartment have
you?"
>Nabiki says, "Not around the apartment..."
>Tamahome arrives from the south.
>Nabiki asks, "You think they might be after you still?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "I don't think it.. I know it. That guy came back a few
days ago.. when I was in the lobby."
>Tamahome FLIES on by quickly on a fireball, as he immediatly SLAMS against a
nearby building HARD. Okay, maybe the guy..err, girl wasn't a sucker after
all. x.x
>Ryan blinks, leaping back. "What the?"
>Lyrae slowwwlly looks towards the flaming tamahome. "...?"
>Lyrae . o O ( Wow..he has a high tolerance for pain. Either that or he doesn't
know when to shut up.. )
>Butz strolls over to Tamahome and hefts him over the shoulder. o/~
>Butz offers to lead Tamahome.
>Nabiki turns to look in the direction of the impact.
>Tamahome didn't say a word. ^_^;
>You had to have said something ^_^
>Yeah. "OWWWIIIIEEE!"
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Ryan blinks. Wow, he left a crater. O_o;
>Lyrae o.o
>Tamahome ows, as he slowly stands up. He blinks at Butz, and he ehehs.."Uh, I'm
allright, auntie ben! Hey, did you catch the license for that fireball? ^_^;"
>Butz (OOC) says, "Or not. Fine, be a spoilsport." n.n
>Lyrae side-glances at Nabiki, then at Ryan. <.< >.>
>Tamahome (OOC) had to say it. n.-
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Right on schedule. Chaos always starts about
now."
>Butz thumbs south again. Seems to be the source of alot of oddities tonight.
"...Thataway."
>Lyrae nods slowly o.o;;
>Nabiki asks Ryan and Lyrae, "Hey, want to get something to drink or something."
>Lyrae glances at Nabiki, "Oh sure. What do you want?"
>Nabiki tries to make a good excuse for getting out to the line of fire.
>Lyrae likes that excuse. Who knows what's going to come flying out of the south
next.
>Ryan nods to Lyrae and Nabiki. "I... like that idea." To Tamahome, "You okay?"
O_o
>Tamahome blinkblinks, "What is it, auntie? Your saying Miaka got stuck again?
Over by the donut shop? Without change? Okay! Onto the rescue!" he goes on
towards the south. o.o
>Nabiki says, "Maybe a soda or something..."
>Lyrae backs away into the bar. Quickly. "Okaay.." She sweatdrops at Tamahome as
she heads in.
>Lyrae has left.
>Nabiki follows Lyrae.
>Nabiki has left.
>Butz remains outside, ever the stranger. x.x

Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room
Tifa's Seventh Heaven Bar has a campy feeling to it, primarily constructed of
dark wood with occasional items for decoration. Several worn tables grace the
area near the door, looking beaten up from years of patrons. The bar is more
well kept, stocked with a vast amount of alcoholic beverages and components for
mixed drinks. The room is just a tad dimly lit, feeling cozy and familiar at
the same time. Other areas of interest are the entrance to the kitchen, and a
porch with some comfy chairs. All in all, the Seventh Heaven is a nice tribute
to what someone can put together for a business if they try. A machine for a
game similar to pinball sits on the less used side of the room, sporting an
"Out of Order" sign. Most of the damage that was obvious only a little while
ago is now repaired with more permenant fixes, so the bar once again is back to
it's former self.
[Exits : (B)ack Room, (K)itchen, (U)pstairs, and (O)ut ]
[Players : Nabiki, and Lyrae ]
[Sleepers: Tifa ]
[Things : None ]
>Lyrae heads behind the counter, "What kind of soda do you want?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. Hoo-kay.
>Nabiki asks, "It doesn't matter, what do you have?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "Just about everything.. Pepsi, Cola, diet drinks.."
>Nabiki says, "Pepsi would be great."
>Lyrae asks gently, "Ryan?"
>Lyrae gets a can of the Pepsi and carries it over to the table, setting it down
in front of Nabiki, then makes another trip to get a glass and straw. She sets
those down in front of Nabiki as well.
>Butz has arrived.
>Ryan blinks. "Hmm? Oh, just gin and coke."
>Nabiki says, "Thanks."
>Nabiki waves to Bu..that guy.
>Lyrae quietly says, "Haii.." She smiles and nods to Nabiki as she returns to
the bar. Let's see ..she's terribly with measuring. *praypray* She gets a glass
and fills it about halfway with coke, adding gin into the other bit, about 1/4
of the way. She glances up at Butz, "Hiya. Quench your thirst?" Keeping
cheerful.
>Nabiki says, "(OOC) Yeah, just try to catch me posing something like 'Nabiki
waves to Butz' @_@"
>Lyrae takes the gin and delivers it to Ryan's table.
>Lyrae (OOC) LOL
>Ryan (OOC) What an unfortunate name.
>Ryan nods to Lyrae. "Thanks."
>Butz enters as well. Not that he -likes- being a ragtag, mind you, but there's
too much going on out to not seek shelter. Sentient monkies, flaming
entrepreneurs, that sorta thing.
>Nabiki sits down and pours the soda for herself. ^^;
>Nabiki asks, "(OOC) Sentient monkies? Did they learn to play their instruments
finally?"
>Lyrae nods, glancing at Butz with an upraised eyebrow, waiting to see if he
asks for a drink.
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Butz (OOC) says, "They got bored working on Hamlet."
>Nabiki (OOC) can't spell tonight. x.x
>Nabiki says, "(OOC) An infinite number of them? Good thing you took shelter."
>Butz nods. He just...nods. Heads for a remote table. x.x
>Ryan comments dryly, "I was starting to wonder when the random property damage
was going to start tonight."
>Lyrae chuckles faintly.
>Lyrae comments dryly herself, "The day just isn't complete without some sense
of chaos. 9.9"
>Ryan sighs
>Lyrae-.o at Ryan, "Hnn?"
>Butz . o O ( ...My life has always been that way, alas. n.n; )
>Nabiki says, "It's what makes the city so entertaining..."
>Lyrae nods, "Couldn't have life any other way."
>Butz . o O ( I mean...I was just a simple traveler...I didn't ask to have a
father from another planet. ^_^; )
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Ack. My sister wants to play on the computer. Gotta
run. n.n;"
>Nabiki (OOC) waves.
>Butz . o O ( ...Another planet -then-, at least. >.< )
op See ya
>Ryan (OOC) See ya
>Butz (OOC) waves. ^_^;
>Lyrae quietly says, "I'll be back later, I just remember I have to pick some
stuff up.."
>Ryan blinks, nodding to Lyrae
>Nabiki says, "Alright, see you later."
>Lyrae waves.
>Lyrae has left.
>Ryan drinks, trying his hardest not to facepalm. At least he wasn't the target
for once.
>Nabiki sips her pepsi and looks around.
>Nabiki turns to Ryan, "Do you live in the city?"
>Ryan nods to Nabiki. "Yeah, at that apartment complex to the south."
>Nabiki nods, "It looks like a pretty nice place."
>Ryan says, "Mmm-hmm."
>Nabiki sips her soda again.
>Nabiki asks Ryan, "Do you work here too?"
>Ryan blinks, saying, "Nah. Though I fill in often enough that they should pay
me."
>Nabiki asks, "What's Tifa like, she's the owner, right?"
>Nabiki turns in her chair to face Ryan (I don't know if he's at the same table
or not).
>Ryan nods. "Yeah, she's the owner. Tough girl, and stacked like a-" Pause.
"Never mind."
>Nabiki smirks, "She must be pretty tough, making her employees work even when
they're injured..."
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Actually, that's Lyrae's fault. She refuses to admit she's
wounded..."
>Nabiki nods, "She feels she's got to work..."
>Ryan nods to Nabiki. "Yeah, it's just one of her things, she's very
self-reliant. Maybe a little too much."
>Nabiki nods in agreement. "I read a little about the things that happened at
Sensou Enterprises in the paper. Do you know how all that ended up?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Poorly."
>Nabiki asks, "What do you mean?"
>Ryan says, "Think terrorist bombing."
>Nabiki asks, "So the company was wiped out?"
>Ryan scratches the bridge of his nose. "Not quite, but close enough for all
intents and purposes."
>Nabiki asks, "You mean it's not worth anything anymore?"
>Ryan hmms. "Well, it's not a threat anymore."
>Nabiki says, "What about Lyrae, her family owned it, right? I heard about her
parents, but..."
>Ryan says, "Well, Lyrae was just related to the owner... she didn't actually
have a controlling share."
>Lina_Inverse arrives, with Katt and Guy following behind.
>Ryan is apparently talking to Nabiki
>Nabiki nods, "I didn't know if she had any family left or not..."
>Ryan nods to Nabiki, not noticing the arrivals yet. "A brother, but I haven't
seen him in a while."
>Nabiki asks, "Is that Kiichi?"
>Lina trudges in slowly with Guy between herself and Katt since they're
supporting him. She nods toward a table indicating to Katt to head that way.
"Let's sit him down there.. Then I can fix him up a bit."
>Nabiki turns to look at the trio that just entered.
>Ryan says, "His name was Janu-" He glances over his shoulder . o O ( Hey,
that guy's hurt! )
>Katt nods to Lina . o O ( He's heavier then he looks. )
>Guy is just following along... well, being hauled along. He's silent at the
moment.. he gave up talking a little while ago. It didn't seem to be doing any
good. He doesn't really look as though he knows what's going on, either... he's
just... following.
>Ryan sits up. "Hey, you, like, need any help or something?"
>Lina gives Ryan a breif glance before answering. "Yeah, could you get me a
cloth and some water? He's pretty badly hurt and I'd like him to be cleaned up
a bit so I can actually see what I'm healin." A chair is kicked out and spun
around with one foot before she carefully manuevers Guy into it. "Other than
that..not much." After a moment she adds another thought. "Unless you happen to
know a healer? It's not exactly my strong suit.."
>Ryan leaps over the bar to fetch the requested items. "Sorry, don't know any
healer handy. What happened to that guy?"
>Nabiki watches from where she's sitting, since she has no medical skills at all.
>Ryan . o O ( I know some first aid, but I'm no doctor... )
>Guy sits down as he's placed. "...not so hard, Kewne. ...I'm telling you I'm
fine." It sounds like he's complaining some, his eyes unfocused and dazed.
"....just get out of here.. it'd be safer...."
>Butz sits by, letting the other mage work her wiles. n.n;
>Katt stands over Guy. . o O ( I still don't know what happened... )
>Lina stands up and shrugs. "Dunno. He just..dropped out of the sky in some
magical burst." She nods toward Katt with a genuine grin, "Thanks." Then grabs
another chair and pulls it up alongside Guy's. She frowns again at the odd name
he keeps saying, and sighs deeply before mumbling to herself, "Maybe Enhance
Calm so he'll stop squirming.."
>Katt takes a step back, looking quite nervous.
>Ryan jogs back over to Lina, a clean towel, some water, and some burbon (in
case you need to disinfect) in hand.
>Maruah has arrived.
>Maruah boundbounds into the bar. Bounding, because she's gallomping along on
all fours. She skids to a halt nearish her entry point, picking herself to a
standing position and looking arounf brightly. ^n.n^
>Guy furrows his brow a little bit. It seems to suddenly be clocking in that
there are more than one voice here... "Kewne? Who'd you bring here? Wreath?
That you?" He looks up, muzzily, trying to get a look at the people.
>Katt . o O ( Wow, he's really far gone... )
>Lina takes the offered items from Ryan and sets them out on the table. Quickly
she pulls her dagger from her belt and holds it out to Ryan, "Cut his shirt
off. I can't get to that wound with that mess in the way." o O (Darn..I didn't
want to do this, but he just won't snap out of his fever enough for me to.. Oh
heck.) The power for another spell is carefully drawn and shaped into what her
will desires. Then, a quick touch to his forhead and it's released into him as
she entones the spell name. "Enhance Calm."
>Ryan takes the dagger. A bit crude, but... *swipe*
>Maruah tilts her head to the side, maybe to look at the room on a different
viewpoint. Eartips flickflick rapidly as she homes in on any noise in the now
apparently silent room. Then she blinks, peering carefully at... piku? She
turns her attention to Lina's patient. ^o.o^
>Nabiki (OOC) has to go for a while BBL.
>Nabiki (OOC) waves.
>Nabiki heads out the front door.
>Nabiki has left.
>Derek has arrived.
>Guy blinks, his head jerking in startlement at the touch, then his body
relaxes, head sagging slightly as the spell finally takes effect. "....better."
he mutters briefly, before he relaxes the rest of the way, holding nice and
still all of a sudden. Even with the shirt being cut off him.
>Derek steps in and takes a moment to take in the scene . o O ( Sheesh... )
Ryan is more dexterous then he looks. That bloody shirt is off in no time. He
doesn't notice the new arrivals, yet.
>Katt stands a few feet away from Guy, visibly nervous
>Maruah crawls closer to Guy, Lina and Ryan. Dropping to all fours in order to
'sneak' better, she tries to find a position where she can get a better look.
Maybe somewhere behind Ryan...
>Ryan isn't paying much attention. At the moment.
>Derek's eyes widen . o O ( No wonder that girl asked if I was a doctor! ) He
steps over, "Ryan, what the hell happened now?!?"
>Ryan sweatdrops, looking over at Derek. "Derek!?" Pause. "Don't look at me,
they-" points at Lina and Katt "-dragged him in."
>Lina is begining to look a bit pekid from all her spell casting. A midly weary
glance is cast toward Ryan and she smiles wanly, "..Don't s'pose I could get a
drink of water also?" She pikus in surprise at the yelling and scowls, "Pipe
down, wouldya? Unless you can offer any kind of help."
>Ryan nods to Lina, as he jogs back behind the bar. Guess we can't get through
one night without some random violence, eh?
>Derek glances at the ladies and arches an eyebrow, "Would either of you care to
elaborate as to why he's like this?"
>Guy can apparently hear the goings-on, but.. ehh.. he isn't trying to figure it
out. It seems like a lot of effort right now, for some reason. Spells... gotta
love 'em.
>Katt rubs her lower lip, her tail lashing back and forth. "I don't know, I
walked in and he was like that."
>Maruah stretches up, and up... slowly, making the attempt to peer over Ryan's
shoulder. Only he moves away, so she quickly slips up to take his vacated spot.
A -much- better view of the victim.
>Derek asks, "Ryan, get her a glass of water, willya?"
>What do you think I'm behind the bar for, Derek? He does so, bringing it back
over to Lina.
>Lina sighs darkly and mutters in a low, annoyed voice, "There was a burst of
magic, he appeared, he was like this. Now could you tone down the testosterone
and shut up?"
>Ryan blinks . o O ( Hey, it's that... wierd girl... ) O_o He peers at
Maruah
>Butz has disconnected.
>Maruah is -not- hovering to make first dibs on Guy if he doesn't make it.
Really she isn't. ^u.u^ She quietly watches Lina at work, shifting her
complete attention between the soceress' face and Guy's face.
>Guy (OOC) <.<; at Maruah.
>Maruah (OOC) looks completely innnocent. c.c
>Ryan (OOC) ^^;
>Shelgyr has arrived.
>Lina gives another sigh. This one thankfull. And she chugs back the water with
one gulp by tipping her head back and pouring it into her mouth. "Ah, that hit
the spot!" She rubs her hands together and holds them out toward Guy once more,
"Here goes nothin.. Recovery."
>Maruah is standing near a very injured Guy. Watching that man and Lina at work.
She's managed to get quite the front row seat; directly beside the body of the
injured man.
>Katt watches Lina. She knows zippo about sorcery, but she's at least wise
enough to let a competent lady (... well, sorta) handle this.
>Ryan . o O ( That... girl better not try something... seems harmless, but I
don't want her to cause trouble by accident o.-; )
>Shelgyr had only meant to peek his head in, but now that he's found something
interesting, he makes his way as quietly as he's able toward the scene, taking
note of his sister's presence as well. He's content to watch from the 'back
row', and since he's tall enough to see over most people's heads, it's not like
he's going to miss anything.
>Guy is pretty dazes still. His eyes are glazed... although if it's from the
injury or the spell, now, it's hard to tell. At least he's not moving around
this time, except for an occasional glance towards Lina and Maruah, trying to
focus on the people right near him.
>Cloud has arrived.
>Ryan paces back and forth . o O ( Well, at least nobody's fighting... )
>Maruah notes Guy's unfocused state, and the attempt being made to become more
concious. In her eyes, there's only one thing to do; lean forward and nuzzle
near the poor man's chin in reassurance, as well as offer a reassuring lick to
the cheek. ^n.n^ Her mind made up, she leans in to attempt doing just that.
>Cloud climbs down the step slowly, pausing to look at... what IS that?
>Kazuma has arrived.
>Kazuma waves. ^_^
>And the the bar explodes! Critical mass!
>Cloud asks, "(OOC) He arrives and the bar explodes?"
>Kazuma OOC "That's about my luck. :)"
>Kazuma says, "What's up, folks? ^_^"
>Guy says, "(OOC) Oh great. As if I wasn't hurt already. n.n;"
>Kazuma takes a seat and orders a drink. ^_^
>Katt stands a few feet away from the (wounded) Guy. Lina and Maruah are in
close, Lina healing and Maruah... tasting?
>Kazuma belays that drink order. "Hey, folks...you ok, dude?"
>The soft white flow of power that is Lina's spell works it's way over Guy's
wounds. Slowly, after what seems an eternity to her, they begin to knit and
mend. She's not as thorough with the healing as she could be since this spell
is pulling alot out of her, so she just heals the worst of it. Just enough that
he'll be able to live and heal the rest on his own. A bead of sweat trickles
along her brow the longer it continues, and finally, she breaks off and slumps
down into her chair. For a long while it seems as if she may have fallen
asleep. Then begins the slow mutter that is usual when she's talking to
herself. "..I always have to find them, don't I? No, it couldn't be a healer
that finds them, just me.. I really need to practice white magic more often."
*muttermumble*
>Derek shoots Lina an annoyed glare and turns to nod to Cloud (and gets back
from making ramen to eat o_o)
>Guy is looking relatively peaceful, as Lina works on healing his wounds. He
turns his head away from that nuzzle, wrinkling his nose at the tickle, then
giving a weak smile. "...Kewne. I'm telling you... I'll be fine." He does frown
in puzzlement. "But... who in the world is healing me?" He blinks, hsi eyes
actually trying to focus some, not that it dioesn't hurt as much.
>Derek blinks and looks back to Lina as she mutters, "Is he okay..?"
>Ryan finally spots Cloud, strolling towards him. "... No, I don't know what
happened, Spikey."
>Maruah sniffs a bit. Then with a snort, she settles back to sulk a moment that
her gestures were so ill received. But only for a moment. Her interest picks up
again as she looks around and spots Shelgyr. She lifts a hand and waves wildly
in greeting to him.
>l shel
Shelgyr
A half-mask of shiny gold metal shaped in the image of a wolf's head conceals
the upper portion of his face, casting the rest of his chiseled features in
grim shadows. His square-jawed, smooth skinned countenance would seem grim and
humorless were it not for his penchant for lopsided grins that show his fangs,
and the glint of wildness that dances in his golden eyes. His ears jut
pronouncedly from the sides of his head, pointed and furred like those of the
beast he resembles. Past the mask, a wild mane of metallic salt-pepper grey
rises up and back from his head, the mass of hair tapering to a point at the
small of his back.
He wears a grey-furred pelt about his shoulders, clasped into place with a
simple golden medallion. Beneath this mantle, he wears a heavy grey poncho, or
rather, multiple layers of uneven material that loosely serve in that capacity.
Under those floor-length folds whose jagged edges flutter with his footsteps,
he is sheathed in snugly-fitting, glossy black material that glides over the
sculpted and powerful muscles of his form. Broad in places and lean in others,
his build bears the efficient sleekness of a predator. A smooth gold circlet
girds his waist like a belt, has a buckle in the shape of an animal skull, and
holds in place a decorative loincloth of grey, leathery material.
His hands and forearms are hidden in heavy gauntlets of dull black metal with
subdued golden trim and matching rivets binding them together, with thick yet
flexible fingers appearing to be solid metal. Kneeguards decorated with the
jagged-toothed jaws of some large predator attach to his big, clunky boots.
Thick-soled and bulky footwear of grey leather, they're liberally adorned with
buckles and straps and make his feet seem several sizes bigger than they really
are, and completely encase his calves.
Occasionally revealed beneath the flaps of fabric that drape over his form, a
full and bushy tail of the same metallic color as his hair swishes behind him,
the finishing touch that lends him an undeniable animal semblance.
Carrying:
>Ryan . o O ( I swear, there has to be a wierdness magnet in the basement of
this place or something. )
>Shelgyr grunts softly to acknowledge his sister's greeting, baring his fangs
in a decidedly happy grin. He doesn't wave back. 's not his thing, but he does
nod enthusiastically.
>Derek says, "(OOC) Nah, that's just you, Ryan..."
>Kazuma has disconnected.
>Katt slips outside during the commotion... she doesn't know who this guy is,
but she helped him, so her conscience is somewhat cleared...
>Katt heads out the front door.
>Katt has left.
>Lina cracks an eye open slowly and peers at Guy. She squirms slightly in her
seat then reaches behind her to pull out of her cape what had been poking her
in the back. She blinks a moment at it, then recognizes it for the collar she'd
taken from Guy when she found him. With a shrug she raps the collar against his
knuckles, "Here, you dropped this. Now.." Her gaze wanders around as she licks
her lips, her mind returning to the one thing that she's always thinking of. o
O (Food..)
>Guy grabs for the collar, startled a moment, then looking down at it. "....oh.
Thanks." He sounds a little dazed, as though still trying to work things out.
Finally, he looks up and around, as though looking for something in particular,
now.
>Cloud stands up, quietly walking out, business calling elsewhere.
>Cloud heads out the front door.
>Cloud has left.
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck . o O ( Well, everyone's playing nice, and
that guy is moving and breathing and stuff, so everything turned out okay. I
guess. )
>Maruah perks up as she spots Cloud... leaving? Ah well. With a sigh of
resignation, she then turns her attention to find something else to catch her
eye. Oh... playtoys... *_* She slinks away from her spot, winding through the
tables in order to stalk what she wants to make her own. ^o.-^
>Ryan takes a seat, a little ways away from Lina and Guy. He sighs, running his
hand through his hair.

Maruah
Tawny, yellow-golden eyes lit by a constant, wicked delight for life seem,
upon casual observation, more suited to a wild animal. Their owner evidently
agrees. The sharp features of her human face are covered by a small half mask
of golden metal shaped to represent the head of a fox. One's attention is drawn
by a flicker of motion to pointed, fur covered ears tipped in black. Fittingly,
her hair color is of a rich orange red, and like nothing usually seen upon a
human, and it's rather obvious by now that she isn't. A waistlength cascade of
hair is kept loosely tied at the back of her head, underneath a layer cropped
to the same chin touching shortness of the bangs curving at the sides of her
face.
A red-orange fox pelt takes the shape of a halter top, the collar of which
is a loosely draped white scarf. Running down the sides of her torso, it leaves
the belly bare,showing off a stretch of the form fitting white material that
lies under her entire costume like a second skin. The pelt and suit slide into
the dark leather of a gunbelt, which, in its own turn, holds up the gray,
fringed end material of her knee length skirt. Over all this rests the smooth
leather of a waist length travel coat, also gray, of a length to billow
dramatically with the right movements but not muss the skirts.
Her hands and forearms are hidden in heavy gauntlets of dull black metal
with subdued golden trim and matching rivets binding them together, with thick
yet flexible fingers appearing to be solid metal. The bodysuit seen on her
torso peeks out between the skirt and the tops of heavy boots. This footwear of
black leather starts at her knees, with insectile plates of chromed armor from
there to the tops of her feet. The eye is teased by glimpses of her long, bushy
tail, orange-red fur covering all but a short length at the tip, where it
bushes out into white.

>Shelgyr heads out the front door.
>Shelgyr has left.
>Derek whispers, "Derek certainly doesn't seem to be in the same mood as last
night. Quiet..and serious..but not pissed off.." to you.
>Ryan glances towards Derek . o O ( ... I wonder what happened after he left?
)
>Guy finally seems to realize that he isn't... exactly.. where he'd expected
himself to be. He sits up, looking around the room with a more intent look. He
scans from person to person, trying to get a face he recognises somewhere in
there.
>So many pretty colors exist... and Maruah's definately got an eye for them. She
crouches beside the end of the bar, looking up with delight at all the pretty
shaped glass.... liquor bottles. Her new playtoys, in other words. She pauses
her, looking over them carefully... deciding just -which- one would be the most
-perfect- for rolling around the ground and chasing. o.-
>Ryan scans the room. Luckily, he hasn't spotted Maruah yet. Well, lucky for
Maruah; Tifa'll be PISSED if she breaks anything.
>Lina gives a curt nod to herself. He's well enough now to take a talking to.
"Sir.. You where transported here magically somehow.." The mutter of her
talking to herself resumes again. "I might be able to find out..maybe. I've
never seen any magic like that before.. It'd take awhile."
>Guy dazedly rubs the side of his head, looking over at Lina. Focus... aha. All
of a sudden, the face comes into at least some focus. And he does recognise
it... well, sort of. "....and you're the one who was healing me." It's more of
a question than a statement, though. "....transported? I should be dead."
>Lina blinks a few times then grins and flashes a peace sign at Guy. "Well
you're not, so count your lucky stars I was the one that found you. Where're
you from anyhow? Maybe it's not so far away."
>Ryan sighs, standing up. "Hey, Derek?"
>Derek looks over solemnly, "Hmmm?"
>Guy looks around the rest of the bar now, looking at each person in turn.
Huh... maybe he was mistaken... but he was _sure_ he'd been nuzzled. "I'd say
it is. This isn't Monsbaia. Unless things have _really_ changed."
>Maruah rears up after moving completely behind the bar. She's reaching for a
long, slender (and most importantly), rollable bottle. She grasps its neck, and
pulls it slowly away from the shelf, making her way floorward once more. ^o.o^
>Ryan facepalms. "Watch the bar. I'm heading home... I need a nap." (OOCly, too
c.c )
>Derek nods and crosses his arms, "Take it easy.."
>Lina blinks a few times and rolls her eyes ceilingward thoughtfully.
"Mons..baia.. Hmm. Monsbaia." She wracks her brain a few moments for anything
that sounds familiar. Finally she gives an apologetic shrug cast Guy's way.
"Sorry. Doesn't sound familiar to me.. And I've traveled alot."
>Ryan waves to Derek and all present, stepping outside, hopefully before
something else happens.

You leave 7th heaven destined again for the chaos of the city.
