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.

>Lyrae closes her eyes as she hears the sigh, and doesn't look towards Foil as
she speaks quietly, but with a bit of a spark in her voice. "...I don't care if
you believe me or not.. we all have our own beliefs. "
>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..." nodding as it patpats Lyrae's arm.
>Ryan steps in, looking in moderately better shape then he was yesterday. Only
3/4's bandaged now //_^
>Lyrae is sitting on the floor, in front of Pikachu.
>Lyrae studies Pikachu thoughtfully for a few minutes.
>Foil hehs a bit at that, "Right girl. Right." in a diplomatic tone ment to
appease the confused little girl. Glances over at the mummyman. Seated at a
chair at his table.
>Ryan blinks. Or winks, you can't quite tell. "What's up?"
>Pikachu stares up at Lyrae with a brave little happy smile, as if telling her
to cheer up.
>Lyrae does not look the least bit appeased. But of course you couldn't tell..
she's got about as much expression as Lurch. "..don't patronize me."
>Pikachu pikas, "chu..." frowning as its ears droop.
>Pikachu turns and crawls away on all fours.
>Ryan watches the little electric mouse. "...?"
>Lyrae whispers softly towards the pokemon, ".. I didn't mean you, Pikachu."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi!" suddenly sitting up, its ears twitching.
>Foil sighs again and decides that pretty girls shouldn't be depressed as he
REALLY diplomatically says, "Look.. we do got our beliefs alright? And I got
mine." as he then looks over to Ryan, "Arn't you supposed to be getting serious
bed rest dude?"
>Pikachu turns around to face Lyrae.
>Lyrae looks towards Ryan, "I see you're feeling better."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika..." smiling again 'n.n'
>Lyrae looks at Pikachu, blinking .. "..You saw it?"
>Ryan holds up his right hand. "Never better!" Wobblewincetwitch. He takes a seat.
>Pikachu scampers up to Lyrae like a little puppy would, hopping onto her lap on
two feet as it looks up at her and nods, "Pi Pikachu!" 'n.n'
>Ryan . o O ( Well, it's kinda cute, at least //_= )
>Lyrae looks at Ryan, then at Pikachu, blinking in surprise again. A very -very-
slight smile crosses her face, "..Now this is interesting.." She keeps the
smile, nodding faintly towards Foil's first comment as she says to Ryan, "..do
you want something to drink?"
>Lyrae scritches Pikachu on the head lightly.
>Foil smirks at Ryan . o O (Ah hell. What can I do?) as he then sips his glass
of water once more. Leaning back in his chair and deciding to relax for the
moment.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika..." standing up on its tippy toes and patting Lyrae's
cheek with a tiny hnd.
>Ryan shakes his head. "Nah..." Pause. "Well, maybe some water or something."
>Lyrae blinks at the gesture, and giggles quietly. A giggle that very nearly
turns into a sob, had she not caught herself in time. She nods quietly to Ryan,
then moves to set Pikachu on the floor, smiling faintly.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikachu...." looking up at Lyrae with a curious almost sad
expression.
>Lyrae pats Pikachu, "..Don't look that way." She smiles lightly as she gets to
her feet.
>Ryan . o O ( Well, if there's one thing that's been beaten through my head,
it's that Lyrae won't talk if she doesn't want to //_- )
>Pikachu pikas, "Chu.."
>Foil isn't exactly Mr perceptive personality but notices when a girl is moping.
He turns his steely gaze that refuses to miss details and latches onto Lyrae.
>Pikachu follows at Lyrae's heels.
>Lyrae stands, closing her eyes and composing herself. When she reopens her
eyes, she's smiling brightly again, holding the expression patiently as she
moves to get the glass of water. ^_^
>Foil notes that. Hehs.. then turns his gaze back to the window . o O (Ain't my
god damned place to say nuthin. Stick to Demonslaying, yer better at it
Riposte.) as he dismisses it all with a sip of his glass.
>Lyrae glances over her shoulder at Pikachu, and grins, asking Ryan cheerfully,
"Do you want any ice with your water?"
>Pikachu stands at Lyrae's feet, staring up at her, twitching its ears. 'o.o'
>Ryan blinks. "Oh... um, sure"
>Lyrae looks down at Pikachu, "...? What is it?" She asks softly, pausing to
step into the kitchen for the ice, returning a moment later and adding it to
the water.
>Foil hmmmms as he turns his mind onto other matters . o O (Well.. it seems for
the most part I'm alone in this.. I can't just take my current skills for
granted.. I need to train. Gotta figger out some of the other Techniques of
my father.. Once I've reached a new level.. Ryan and the others will probably
handle Harken..its them other Quarter Knights I gotta concern myself with.)
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikachu..." just following Lyrae.
>Lyrae blinks as she walks over to Ryan's table, setting the glass down with a
smile, ..and being followed by the pokemon n.n;;;
>Ryan smiles up at Lyrae. "Thanks." //_^ "... And you aren't fooling anyone."
>Pikachu nods in agreement to Ryan's comment, "Pikachu."
>Foil sets his glass down . o O (Oh dear. This could get ugly fast.)
>Lyrae blinks for a second. Well no, not for a second, she kind of freezes with
that smile pasted on her face. Then unfreezes with the sound of the 'Pikachu'.
She shakes her head and pauses, frowning inwardly. And changes the subject.
"Hungry?" She steps over Pikachu and heads towards the kitchen, decided to
pretend she didn't hear Ryan.
>Ryan sighs. //_-;
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pi." following Lyrae.
>Cloud has arrived.
>Lyrae rambles, doing her damndest to avoid breaking down, "Ah.. t..there's some
leftover burger meat I can make .. or go out for something. Yeah maybe I'll do
that, Tifa' running low. Do you wantanything? Maybe I should go shopping. And
we're out of milk at the church too. I didn't think of that."
>Lyrae rambles on into the kitchen, as Pikachu follows
>Cloud steps down the stairs just in time to hear... babbling?
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." Boy it's a really good listener if nothing else.
>Foil ponders leaving at this . o O (I'd best not get in the way if she goes..)
he glances up to the stairs however to Mr Rescue Me however..
>Ryan doesn't looks QUITE as bad as he did yesterday, but he's still wrapped up.
>Lyrae stays in the kitchen and turns the water on in the sink, full blast,
washing the remaining glasses. She didn't even see Cloud.
>Pikachu stands there, staring up at Lyrae with a look that kind of says, 'I
know it and you know it'. But that's silly, it's just a little animal.
>Cloud blinks at the Pikachu, backing away just a bit. Watch out for the burps.
o.o
>Lyrae turns off the water, then puts the glasses away. After a moment, she
turns and finds herself being stared at, to which she reacts by walking over to
it and dropping to the floor on her knees, focusing her green eyes on it
quietly.
>Foil watches Cloud back away from the little thing. Blinks . o O (Uh... This
is a superior swordsman?) glanceing to Ryan . o O (He looks more like Tweetie
bird backing from Sylvester.)
>Pikachu stares back with..concern? It twitches its ears once, "Pi..."
>Ryan just sits quietly, letting the ice in his water melt. "..."
>Cloud heads over to Ryan, taking a seat. He pauses mid-way, looking over at
Lyrae. "... Lyrae?"
>Pikachu pikas....looking a little surprised to say the least. 'o.o'
>Foil looks around <_< >_> . o O (Geezus. No wonder Demons are walking the
streets x.x You could cut the flippin angst with a knife in here.) he
scratches the back of his head . o O (Well... I have a feeling people are gunna
have a heart-to-heart in a moment. Time for the heartless to skedaddle.) as he
stands up. Dusting himself off and picking up his bag.
>Echartea has arrived.
>Lyrae has long since dropped the cheerful facade on her face while 'conversing'
with Pikachu. At the sound of her name, she looks up, with no expression on her
face, and even less to her voice. ".....Hello Cloud."
>Echartea pads into the bar silently, looking around......
>Ryan looks like he was gingerly fed through a meat shredder, then wrapped up
for christmas //_=;
>Pikachu pikas....at just recieving Lyrae's life story beamed directly into its
head. 'o.o'
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles at Pikachu
>Lyrae gets to her feet, looking away from Pikachu towards the door, nodding
briefly towards the incoming.
>Echartea scans the room quietly, before nodding to Lyrae...
>Cloud says, "... are you all right?" He looks towards the people who are
departing and incoming. "Wait..." he says to Foil.
>Foil glances to Echartea as he exits . o O (.... NO.. nothing abnormal ever
walks in here. NOPE. Normally I would kill the unnatural S.O.B...and I
probably should just to break the tension in here >_> Buut..they'd probably
take sides with Tuna patrol here x.x Ahwell..always next time.)
>Lyrae glances at Ryan as she recalls something, "Oh Ryan, someone was looking
for you."
>Ryan blinks. Or winks, you can't what his other eye is doing under the bandage.
"Who?"
>Echartea decides that the one he seeks is not here, and lowers his head.
>Echartea taps his staff twice against the ground, and is warped to Lake Acamier.
>Lyrae glances at Cloud silently, not answering the question, or putting it off
for another time. It's hard to say. She turns back to Ryan, "Someone named
Luke."
>Foil_Riposte has left.
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Oh, that weird guy. Wonder what he wanted?"
>Lyrae leans on the counter, pausing only to glance for Pikachu's location - not
that she's afraid she'd step on the little thing. "....Information on the city
and its inhabitants, I believe."
>Ryan sighs. "Ah."
>Pikachu is right behind Lyrae, following at her heels.
>Foil_Riposte has arrived.
>Cloud looks over at Lyrae. "..." Then blinks back at Foil when he returns.
>Foil pokes his head back in for a sec . o O (..did I hear someone say something
in my direction or am I REALLY getting paranoid in my young age..)
>Lyrae glances at Pikachu, "... are you following me for a reason?" She asks, a
slightly bemused note in her voice.
>Pikachu shakes its head
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika"
>Cloud says, "... Foil...? Er, if you have a minute, may I talk with you?"
Cloud looks towards Ryan, then sits down at that table, indicating Foil to come
join them.
>Foil huhs..blinks..then recalls something. He nods, "'Right." he then steps
properly back inside. Hefting his back along side him..as he wanders over to
Cloud and Ryan's table. Nodding to them as he sits down..setting his bag by
his side, "Something you wanna ask me..uhh..Cloud."
>Cloud nods quietly. He gets right to the point... "What are the living metal?"
>Lyrae . o O ( Who knew it was so hard to focus like this.. but Pikachu seems to
understand me at least.. )
>Ryan replies, without much thought, "A pain in the @$$." //_x
>Foil tilts his head to the side, considering that question, "Shen to the best I
can tell. You'd call em Demons I guess." he adds apparently thinking that you
would believe Demons are real.
>Ryan has met a few before. No biggie.
>Foil . o O ( No point in B.S.ing the guy. He was captured by em afterall. )
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika...." tilting its head to one side in general amazement.
>Lyrae blinks and gives Pikachu her full attention, sitting closer to it and
drawing her knee to her chest, wrapping her arms around it.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi?" still looking at Lyrae with that expression of 'wow'
>Lyrae . o O ( Why is it looking at me like that? )
>Cloud eyes Foil. "Do you know where they're from?"
>Pikachu shakes its head
>Ryan raps his fingers. "Well, think about it. They got a spaceship, right? That
narrows it down to either another planet, or another dimension."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi Pikachu."
>Foil shakes his head, "Not really.. but in the end it don't matter. Probably
another dimension as mummy here puts it. But I know what they want. And it's
probably obvious by now." he states.
>Ryan rambles, "... In the latter, it wouldn't technically be a spaceship but a
dimensionship, but that's rather irrelavent at this point."
>Cloud looks down briefly. Then back up. "... they're from a planet called (OOC:
Damn, I forgot... x.x )"
>Pikachu giggles 'n.n'
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi-ka."
>Lyrae smiles faintly at Pikachu, "Hm?"
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi Pi PIka. Pikachu Pika."
>Pikachu smiles adoringly at Lyrae. It likes its new friend. 'n.n'
>Lyrae certainly picked /that/ up from the little creature. SHe smiles slightly
and reaches down to pet it.
>Pikachu reaches up with both hands, putting them on Lyrae's cheeks.
>Lyrae o.o and pikus. o O ( What's it doing? n.n; )
>Pikachu pushes the corners of Lyrae's mouth up.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!" 'n.n'
>Foil taps his fingers on the table.. listening to this.
>Cloud says, "(OOC) I'll fill it in later. u.u"
>Foil OOC hai ^_^;
>Cloud continues, "... and they apparently have a "Mother"... who gives birth to
them. But this "Mother" destroyed their homeworld, and so they sought a new
world..."
>Foil nods at that, "I found out they are few in number... as if they're a dying
race. That would explain it." he states.
>Pikachu killed Lyrae by making her smile! No wonder she stayed sad!
>Cloud leans forward. "But the Mother was destroyed on another world. And they
came here... with a new Mother. That's why there seems to be two different
group of aliens... one seeking to destroy. The other... to learn?"
>Ryan blinks. "...?"
>Foil nods to Cloud, "Yes. For the last month or so I've been tracking down
this 'new' brood of theirs. It seems there is a clean division between beings
they call their Elders..and these 'children'"
>Cloud shrugs. "Harken seems to be one of the old group. This new group seems to
include Callan, Astrid... Uriel. They might be more amenable to... change."
Foil nods at Cloud who said the same thing
>Foil . o O ( Good.. means I got my facts straight. )
>Lyrae blinks at Pikachu, and giggles silently, before her smile fades again.
>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..."
>Pikachu smiles anyway to Lyrae, "Pi Pika.."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Hmm... yeah... I've seen Callan and Astrid...
they didn't seem as bad as Harken or Al'hazad..."
>Lyrae settles herself to petting Pikachu gently with a ghost of a smile on her
face.
>Foil says, "There are Four elders total I think." he states, "Al'Hazad, Harken,
Zeikfriend, and Boomerang or something." he comments, "Not including this new
'mother"
>Cloud says, "If we can... encourage a split..."
>Pikachu hugs against Lyrae, getting a nice massage from her, "Chu..." 'n.n'
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Boomerang?"
>Foil shrugs his shoulders, "What I was informed. Informant probably is lyin
tho."
>Cloud looks over towards Foil. "Who was your informant?"
>Pikachu oocly has to go! 'n.n'
>Lyrae (OOC) hugs :)
>Pikachu has disconnected.
>Foil taps his fingers on the table for a moment, then answers, "I'll tell you
later." he says.
>Cloud nods quietly, frowning. He looks over towards Ryan. "..." Any more to
contribute?
>Lyrae looks down at Pikachu as it falls asleep, then slowly gets up and moves
away, but not before she places the fuzzy creature somewhere safe.
>Rachel has arrived.
>Ryan looks over at Cloud with his unbandaged eye. "... You said you were inside
their ship?"
>l rach
Rachel
A very attractive young woman, tall (178 cm, or 5'10") and athletic,
with short, feathery blonde hair, expressive blue eyes, and high-
cheekboned Caucasian features. She appears to be in her mid-20's.
She is wearing slightly-faded blue jeans, white running shoes, and a
white T-shirt with a Guinness logo on the front of it.
Carrying:
>Rachel comes in, looking around.
>Lyrae returns to wiping down the counter, her thoughts inward.
>Foil is chitchatting with Cloud and Ryan at a table together.
>Cloud nods quietly at Ryan.
>Foil looks to Cloud, "WHat did you see?" he questions.
>Foil says, "Tell us -every- detail."
>Cloud says, "... not much. I only saw Harken's... throne room. Large,
spacious... and I saw their dungeon. That was all..."
>Rachel's eyes narrow a bit when she sees Foil, but she says nothing. She's not
on duty. She heads for the guys' table.
>Ryan glances at Foil. Not very friendly. He chimes in, "I'm more concerned,
because I doubt it'll just hang up in orbit forever."
>Foil nods to Ryan. Not caring if it's not very friendly or not. Glances over
his shoulder to Rachel..smirks a bit at her..before looking back.
>Cloud nods at Ryan, before looking up as Rachel approaches.
>Rachel asks, "Hello, Cloud, Ryan -- Mind if I join you?"
>Ryan blinks, looking up at rachel with a smile //_^; "If you'd like..."
>Foil gives Cloud this 'should I say anything to her?' look.
>Rachel is as desced, with the addition of the black jacket she borrowed from
Lyrae.
>Lyrae continues cleaning away, giving the conversation at the table no
attention whatsoever.
>Cloud nods slowly at Rachel, then shrugs lightly at Foil, returning his look
with an "I don't know" one.
>Foil nods, "Well, I think the course of action is quite clear." he states.
>Rachel spins a chair around, back to the table, and straddles it, folding her
arms across the top of the chairback.
>Rachel notes the exchange of looks, and adds her own mildly-annoyed one. "I've
already been part of this war council. And I'd think after the last few days
you'd know I can be trusted."
>Ryan asks, "Uh... what course of action izzat?"
>Foil glances to Rachel..but doesn't comment, nods to Cloud, "He had the right
idea. Divide em. Get the children to rebel from their parents. Then kill the
Elders and this 'Mother' creature."
>Pikachu has connected.
>Cloud looks over at Rachel, blinking. He hasn't seen her for the last few days,
sorry.
>Pikachu pikas! Not have to lave afterall 'n.n' (ooc)
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck, idly commenting, "Well, you're really charming
the kids."
>Rachel spots the adorable little creature she was too busy to pay attention to
yesterday. She smiles at it, as she takes a sugar packet off the table, tears
it open, and puts it on the floor for it.
>Lyrae is right where she was when you dozed off Pikachu.. well she's cleaning
the bar really right now.
>Foil hehs, "Being Prince Charming isn't my department Hero. I'll leave that up
to you."
>Pikachu blinks as Rachel makes a mess 'o.o'
>Pikachu wonders if maybe she's trying to start an ant farm. It looks a bit
confused.
>Ryan sweatdrops. "..."
>Pikachu looks at Lyrae, "Pika?" pointing at itself 'o.o'
>Lyrae nods at Pikachu with a grin.
>Rachel watches the little creature for a moment, shrugs, and goes back to
focusing on the conversation. Maybe Pika-things don't like sugar.
>Pikachu sticks out its tounge and shakes its head with an expression like
'ewww, gross!'
>Pikachu just doesn't like to eat off the floor
>Lyrae sweatdrops. "..." 9.9;;
>Foil comments to Ryan, "Thanks to you.. we figgered out their Elders arn't too
far above us. We can beat em if we focus on it. As long as we can make sure
them children don't flank us." he states.
>The sugar's still in the packet. Just the end of the packet's torn off.
>Lyrae grins faintly, before going back to scrubbing at nonexistant spots on the
bar until it shines.
>Pikachu pikas! and thought it was dumped out.
>Pikachu walks up to the packet in that case and picks it up. 'n.n'
>Ryan shakes his head. "There's no guarantee Harken wasn't the weakest one,
though."
>Foil nods at that, "Well.. in most Shen societies. The mightiest rule. She
wouldn't be an elder if she wasn't powerful by their standards." he reasons.
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Lyrae watches Pikachu quietly.
>Pikachu opens its mouth and dumps the sugar in, licking its lips.
>Ryan says, "Yeah, but tehre are three other elders. I've only seen Al'hazad
once, but he doesn't look like a pushover..."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!!!" 'O_O' as sparks begin to fly off of its cheeks.
>Foil nods at that, "I figger if we can focus on em one at a time.. we can beat
em." he states.
>Lyrae's eyebrow raises slightly, "..?"
>Ryan . o O ( Well... he/she/it //_=; )
>Rachel turns to look at the pika-thing. . o O ( Oops... )
>Pikachu drops the packet as it stands in the middle of the floor, waving its
arms at its sides as it sparksparks, going through..yes....a sugar rush!
>Ryan pauses. "..." //_o:
>Lyrae sweatdrops, and reaches into her pockets, slipping on a pair of gloves
asshe walks over to Pikachu.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi pika pi pi pika pika pi." '@.@'
>Rachel . o O ( What is that, anyway? A mutant electrical bunnyrabbit? )
>Pikachu is the evil rabbit that guards the cave.
>Foil mutters, "stupid pokemon." he comments under his breath, "Wish they would
keep better track of 'em."
>Lyrae kneels and reaches out quickly, places her hands on the creature
tentatively..then phews and picks it up.
>Pikachu is picked up as it continues to go all hyper in Lyrae's hands "Pika
pika pi pi pika." '@_@'
>It's got BIG, SHARP TEETH! And FANGS! And...
>Ryan isn't asking. //_o;
>Lyrae erks and shifts her grip on the creature, "Easy easy.." As she holds onto
>Pikachu carefully o.o
>Cloud says, "(OOC) There... Hiades, then Filgaia. u.u"
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi....! ka...." relaxing as its ears droop. '@_@'
>Foil looks back to the table, "Now..as I was saying. If we single out their
elders..we get a group of us to POUND on em. They should go down with minimal
losses to us."
>And a MEAN streak a mile wide!!!
>Lyrae . o O ( thank god for rubber gloves. )
>Cloud crosses his arms. "But how do we get to their elders?"
>Pikachu sparks lightly every now and then still '@_@'
>Lyrae cradles the pokemon gently, petting it with a free hand, keeping her
gloves on and jumping just a little when spark meets skin occasinally.
>Ryan says, "... That would be the trick, wouldn't it"
>Foil comments to Cloud, "Simple. They underestimate us. They don't know the
kind of danger we actually pose.. I've been tracking Harken and other beings
that can only meet their description. They're careless. Walking the streets.
Finding out how to lure them into a trap shouldn't be too hard."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikachu..." '@_@'
>Rachel asks, "Maybe there's a way we can get them to come to us?"
>Foil thumbs towards Rachel to back up her statement.
Rachel says that just as Foil finishes, clearly on the same thought as him.
>Ryan crosses his arms, wincing slightly. "But how?"
>Luke has arrived.
>Lyrae pets Pikachu gently, glancing towards the conversation from time to time
now.
>Rachel asks, "Well, what do we have that they want?"
>Luke (OOC) ain't here ICly jusssttt quite yet.
>Foil comments, "We need to find out more about 'em. Or..what we can do.. is
piss 'em off so much that they follow us. Get their attention."
>Pikachu shakes its head, bringing its hands up to it, "Pikaa..." '@.@'
>Ryan shakes his head. "I don't like it... we shouldn't get 'em any more riled
up until we figure out their plans."
>Rachel says, "That could work, too. Though by pissing them off, we might just
wind up with them sending their troops instead."
>Rachel says, "Or provoke a more drastic response."
>Lyrae pats Pikachu, "..better?"
>Cloud nods quietly in agreement with Ryan. "... no. I think our best bet is to
pick off Harken, as she's the most visible of the old guard."
>Foil says, "Actually..I don't agree. Harken is careless..we KNOW we can beat
her."
>Foil says, "I suggest taking care of the more dangerous ones first.
Specifically ones that are biding their time.. I'm worried about the two we
don't know at all.. this Zeifried and the fourth."
>Pikachu nods "Pi-ka-chu" '@_@'
>Lyrae asks gently, "..Shall I put you down now?"
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?..." 'o.o' looking up at you/
>Lyrae blinks, "..er.. No?"
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." 'n.n'
>Pikachu hops up and stands on Lyrae's shoulder
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi Pikachu!" 'n.n'
>Rachel says, "Here's a question -- they're 'metal demons', right? How do you
think they'd deal with electrical-plasma-discharge weaponry? That's
essentially what the blaster on my hardsuit and the bigger one on my moto are."
>Lyrae blinks .. "Okay.."
>Lyrae smiles faintly, reaching up to tickle the pokemon as she makes her way
back towards the bar.
>Foil comments to Rachel, "Uhh.. I have no clue what you just said chica. But I
have a feeling that'll do just fine." he comments. Not one for understanding
technobabble.
>Pikachu giggles, "Pika!" involuntarily giving Lyrae a light shock.
>Cloud looks back at Rachel. "... I don't know. But one thing... what is metal
vulnerable to?"
>Lyrae erks, bringing her hand away briefly with a soft hiss and a wince, then
smiles faintly, "..Be a little more careful hm?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "I have no idea, actually. They're not robots,
even if they are made of metal, so EMP might not have an effect."
>Rachel looks at Foil. "You know what I'm talking about, though -- the moto
shot you with it the other night. On its lowest power setting, but..."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" 'o.o'
>Lyrae waves a finger at the creature before going back to cleaning the bar,
"You shocked me by accident."
>Foil eh-hehs at Rachel, "How could I forget." he mutters, "But guessing that
METAL is the only thing you gotta worry about is a mistake. These things ARE
demons and their bodily properties do not need to adhere to any physics you are
familiar with." he states.
>Pikachu rubs a hand behind its head, "Pi-ka..."
>Rachel shrugs. "They might not even notice. I was taking that as a
possibility. But it also might really mess them up."
>Foil comments, "But giving them a massive electric jolt probably won't do 'em
any good either. So.. work on it. Test it out or somethin."
>Foil says, "Eitherway..thats a detail we don't need to worry about this split
second.. tactics is the question now."
>Lyrae nods at Pikachu gently, "Oh I know you didn't mean it.."
>Cloud hmmms, nodding quietly in agreement with that. "What if we hit a metal
demon with both fire and ice at the same time, though?"
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika.." 'n.n'
>Rachel nods to Foil. "Yes, it is. I was jut bringing it up because you seemed
to know someting about these things. It might have affected our tactical
decisions if we knew it would hurt them badly."
>Pikachu is quite the talker despite having a one word language.
>Foil ahems, "Guys guys.. you people can talk shop about how to slaughter demons
a bit later..but I assure you..chop their heads off and they will be just as
dead.." he smiles pleasently, "Right now..we gotta decide which ones TO
attack..and which ones to befriend."
>Lyrae smiles at the creature on her shoulder.
>Cloud nods quietly at Foil. "... Astrid might be one..."
>Astrid has arrived.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!" *nodnod*
>Speak of the demon.
>Luke walks into the bar, taking a deep bow as he tilts his Stetson hat upwards.
The man gives a cordial smile and waves. "Howdy."
>Ryan shakes his head. "I doubt Harken will be a problem, at least for a little
while. She's injured."
>Foil comments, "I'll personall vouche for... " he stops in mid sentence,
"Speak of the Shen." as he doesn't even look back.
>Astrid smiles faintly. However, his attention is caught immediately by Pikachu.
o O ( ??? )
>Foil adds, "heads up guys." as he now looks back.
>Lyrae is standing behind the bar with Pikachu on her shoulder. She smiles at
the clear 'yes' from the creature, and ponders.
>Ryan looks over his left shoulder, seeing as how his right eye is bandaged.
//_<
>Foil holds his hand up to indicate not to breath one word of any of the
conversation we've had while Astrid is in earshot. Staying quiet.
>Luke lets Astrid pass by him as he walks in, giving the thing a stare as it
comes in, but keeps his mouth shut and sits at a barstool, drumming his fingers
on the counter as he sees that he might have stumbled onto an interesting
conversation.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." 'n.n'
>Lyrae waves to Luke and Astrid, as her expression goes vague for a secondo O (
? Meatballs? )
** I get bumped **
>Cloud nods quietly, thinking. "... but the child would never go along with
that."
>Foil nods, "Exactly. And a spaceship..I wouldn't trust it..they must know we
have anti orbital defenses..the military does. I have a feeling FLYING there
would be a death trap."
>Rachel says, "And I'm against wholesale slaughter of them. As we've seen with
Callan, not all of them are evil."
>Ryan shakes his head. "Depends on the ship you're using. As for why it hasn't
been shot down, it's dozens of miles long... it'd take a nuke to stop it."
>Ryan says, "And then there's falling debris"
>Foil glances to Rachel, "We couldn't teleport anything large enough to destroy
the WHOLE thing.. afterall. it is dozens of miles long. If we can place the
explosive on something vital to their plan.. I dunno..a war room or data
center or something. Then RUN for it.. it should slow em down."
>Ryan says, "And I have to agree with Rachel. Asde from Harken, they haven't
done anything blatantly harmful, yet."
>Foil says, "Oh shut the hell up." he grates, "Harken said it herself..they're
gunna CONQUER us and take our planet from us! We hafta strike while we can."
>Ryan says, "Yeah, but that's HARKEN. And probably the old guard, too. It might
not be a universal sentiment"
>Rachel says, "Strike, yes. Murder innocents, no."
>Ryan . o O ( ... And Harken's a bit loopy herself )
>Foil smiles, "If your so damned worried about hurting them we can give them a
good warning to go away before the bomb goes off.. just taking out the
strategic location is good enough for me.. alright?"
>Cloud nods quietly. "Actually, Astrid might be the best person to talk to about
that... he seemed unhappy with the path things were going..."
>Foil finally answers, "I have been." he states.
>Ryan says dryly, "And that turned out rather well... I don't remember much, but
you two didn't seem to get along."
>Foil comments, "That was before." he mutters, "We reached an..understanding
last night."
>Foil says, "He told me everything I just told you people about his family."
>Rachel asks, "In exchange for...?"
>Foil says, "I gave him the propostion to either join us stopping his Elders...
or stay with them. He should answer that soon." he states.
>Ryan facepalms again. So much for a tactical advantage.
>Foil continues, "He knows they mean to kill us all... and Astrid doesn't want
that. So he may be willing to help us."
>Ryan sits up. "If he does... I'm all for it."
>Foil smirks at Ryan, "I DIDN'T tell him the plan."
>Foil nods again, "I should get a response from Astrid soon..and when I do..
Then he can help us with the plan."
>Ryan hmms. "If he agrees. That's a big if. I have a feeling the elders can be
mighty persuasive."
>Rachel asks, "One thing to remember, if it comes right down to it?"
>Foil comments, "I don't know why... but these children have been given free
will. The Elder's grip isn't absolute." glances to Rachel.
>Ryan says, "Yeah, but as for a 'firm influence'..."
>Rachel says, "If our backs really get up against the wall, remember the value
of a good bluff."
>Ryan smirks.
>Rachel takes a gun out of her jacket pocket. The same '45 she held Foil at bay
with a few nights ago. And pops the empty clip before setting both on the
table.
>Foil comments, "Heh..well.. if we get enough of us to go.. competent fighters
mind..they probably would rather let us escape after the Explosion goes off
rather than trying to fight us." glances at the Gun, "Heh."
>Ryan snickers to himself.
>Cloud crosses his arms. "... if we can get more materia..." he murmurs.
Foil continues, "The question is..what explosives would we use?"
>Rachel whispers, "OOC: Style points? ^_-" to you.
>Ryan sighs. "THAT's my main worry... I bet they're busy reverse engineering
those thingies"
>You whisper, "Oh yes." to Rachel.
>Foil eh-hehs, "I'm afraid I don't have that kind of C-4 on my person." errrs,
"Reverse engineering what?"
>Ryan lets Cloud handle this one. His gear.
>Cloud looks back at Ryan. "... they can't do that easily without the material
for it."
>Foil has absolutely no clue what you two are talking about as he looks back and
forth.
>Ryan nods to Cloud. "That's good, at least."
>Foil suddenly blinks and looks to the window . o O (what the...aw @#$%...I was
right...)
>Ryan hmms?
>Foil looks back to the group, he must have seen some bicycle trick or something
outside, "Alright guys...any other questions.. I gotta go..execute certain
plans.." he states.
>Ryuji_Yamazaki has arrived.
>Ryan blinks and shrugs at Foil. "..." For the newcomer, Ryan's currently
bandaged up; must've got in an accident or something.
>Cloud says, "... all right, later..." as he lifts a hand in farewell.
>Yamazaki steps inside, his wide frame taking up a good part of the doorway.
>l ryu
Ryuji_Yamazaki
The presence of this man before you is one that causes most people to
shudder. His wide back is facing you but he soon catches your gaze and turns
to you, giving you a better look at his face. Two distinct and very intense
eyes look you over, filled with boarderline insanity they study you as if
measuring your worth or if you pose a threat. A sadistic grin forms over his
face, teeth grinding tight, very cold as if he enjoys the discomfort he
creates. Though the air of cocaphony surrounds this man like a cold wind he
keeps himself very neat and uniform. His hair is combed back and is two
toned, the sides black and the top a shade of pure blonde. The clothes he
wears fits snug but comfortingly over his wide muscular frame. A dark gray
longsleeve shirt hugs his barrel upperframe and well formed shoulders with a
black vest hanging casualy. Matching the vest are a pair of black pressed
slacks and highly polished shoes. Ryuji widens his stance and takes one of
his gloved hands out of his pockets. He tightens his fist tight enough that
there is an unsettling popping sound and breaks his gaze with you as he turns
away.

Midgaard City Map
>Rachel asks, "I should be going, too. Later?"
>Foil nods to that as he snatches his bag and immediately stands..tossing his
bag over his shoulder as he then rushes to the doorframe. Heedless of the fact
King Kong is in the way, "Lookout dude." he murmurs as he tries to get by.
>Ryan blinks at Rachel, looking mildly more upset over her departure. "... Yeah,
see ya." //_^
>Yamazaki's eyes dart to Foil, he looks him over for a moment the steps out of
the way obligingly and without word.
>Rachel gets up, spins the chair back around and pushes it up to the table, and
scoops up the gun and empty clip, re-inserting the clip before returning the
gun to her jacket pocket.
>Foil then leaves.
>Foil_Riposte has left.
>Belldandy has arrived.
>Ryan looks like he got fed through a grain thresher. Bandaged up quite well
//_^;
>Rachel nods to Belldandy as she passes her on the way to the door.
>Cloud looks like he's been thru the same thresher.
>Rachel has left.
>Yamazaki watches Rachel out of the corner of his eye as she passes by. . o
(Hrm..pretty open about guns around here. ) He looks back to the room then
turns away to walk back outside for a moment.
>Belldandy nods to Rachel as she passes before turning back and looking at both
of you worriedly, "And how are the patients doing today?"
>Ryuji_Yamazaki has left.
>Ryan raises an eyebrow, then gives Belldhandy a thumbs up. "Aside from missing
a few pints of blood, great!" //_^;
>Cloud blinks, looking at Belldandy. "... ... ..." He nods slowly.
>Belldandy sighs and shakes her head, "Boys, if something's bothering you and
you don't let me know about it, I'm going to be rather cross with the both of
you."
>Ryan blinks, rubbing the back of his neck. "..." //_o;
>Cloud rubs the back of his neck, blinking. "..."
>Twins!
>Belldandy asks, "Now, how about you, Cloud? How were you treated while you were
held?"
>Cloud says, "... all right. They... left me alone."
>Ryan says, "... After Harken finished tearing into him." //_-;
>Belldandy says, "Would you mind if I checked to make sure? I'd rather not have
a repeat of what happened to Lyrae not too long ago."
>Ryan blinks. Hadn't thought of that. "Up to Cloud..."
>Cloud nods quietly, watching Belldandy after a quick glance at Ryan.
>Belldandy walks over and pulls a chair next to where Cloud's sitting. She
smooths out the front of her skirt and smiles at him, "Now, this is going to be
very simple. All I need to do is check to make sure nothing is inside you that
shouldn't be there. As I told Lyrae when I did this, I won't go anywhere near
your psyche."
>Ryan stands up. "Sorry to run right when you show up, but I've really got to go
check on a few things."
>Belldandy looks over, "If you need to, Ryan."
>Cloud nods quietly, waving at Ryan before looking back at Belldandy.
>Ryan nods to Belldandy, raising his right hand. "I'll be back later!"
