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 walks in. He seems to be in a little better condition, at least; the 

bandage is off his head. He still has a lovely shiner, though   @_^;

>Janus blinks slightly at his sister, though he doesn't let his smile fade.  

And, no, hes not plotting, dangit!  Let him be happy for once, so nyah!  

Anyways...He looks at his sister, as he says to her, "Hey, you okay, sis?"

>Yuffie has arrived.

>Faris watches a moment, then somewhat indignantly downs the rest of her sake, 

wiping her mouth and putting the container back to the bar.

>Urd looks flatly at Bell. =.=  "I *know* you did not just pee-peeka-choochoo at 

that thing."

>Lyrae wipes at a smudge, "Hai."

>Yuffie skids into the room, letting out a faint *eep* @_@  "Get it away get it 

away!"

>*yip* *yip* *yip*

>Lyrae looks at Yuffie

>Ryan takes a seat at the bar proper, not asking why it's so crowded today   @_<

>Lyrae asks gently, "Is Lucky chasing you again Yuffie..?"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" 'o.o'

>In comes a big-headed chihuahua, chasing after Yuffie's heels. o.o;

>Belldandy gives Pikachu a little pat on the head and stands, looking at Urd, "I 

what? Oh, no, I was just talking to it." =)

>Janus chuckles, "Aaah.  I see...  A new job bringing you down a bit, huh?  

Well, looks like you are doing great..  So, don't worry."

>Yamazaki's eyes dart over to Yuffie as she runs in, out of instinct he reaches 

for something behind him but then pauses.

>Urd says, "Hey look. Yo quiero human flesh."

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi?..." 'o.o' looking at the Taco Bell doggie.

>Lyrae raises her left hand in greeting to Ryan, then  walks over to the dog, 

kneeling and scooping up the animal with one hand.

>Yuffie rushes across the room, heedless of the company, then leaps onto a 

table, and from there, she hops onto the ceiling, clinging for dear life. >.<  

"I hate chihuahuas!"

>Faris just... sweadrops at the dog. *cough*

>Yamazaki . o O ( What the.....is that her? )

>The little rat dog yipyips in Lyrae's arms, eyeing Yuffie.

>Lev glances at the dog, then the girl. Two words come into his mind...bad 

taste. >.>;

>Ryan sweatdrops, himself. Stage-whispering to Cloud, "Hey... um... something 

going on?"

>Pikachu walks over to Lyrae and waves at the dog, "Pi pika!" 'n.n'

>Urd looks at Belldandy with practiced casualness. "THAT looks like a nice quiet 

little town, you said. Let's live THERE, you said."

>Yuffie waves a big fat middle finger at the chihuahua. >.<  "You stupid 

chihuahua!"

>Lyrae raises an eyebrow at the dog, and smiles wryly, "Noisy little thing 

aren't you."

>Lyrae looks at Pikachu and kneels, offering a shoulder.

>The chihuahua stops, then YAPYAPYAPYAPYAPS up at Yuffie! >.<

>Yuffie clings harder. @_@

>Pikachu hops up on Lyrae's shoulder 'n.n'

>And she could walk with the animals...talk with the animals....

>Cloud tilts his head, deciding the bad sense he gets about Yamazaki is nothing, 

then looks at Ryan. "... It looks like Yuffie brought in a little hairless 

rodent."

>Urd drinks a considerable portion of her glass of sake..

>Yamazaki's expression shifts from serious to something else, he grins darkly. 

He watches Lyrae for a moment then moves across the room to settle into a booth.

>Ryan sweatdrops. "So it would seem."

>Janus pats his sister slightly, smiling as he walks on past her afterwards, 

letting her continue with her work.  He moves on over to Cloud and co, and 

leans over towards Cloud and the others, "Hey, its spikey here.  Anything new 

with you all?"

>Lyrae straightens again, then raises her bandaged right hand and closes two 

fingers over it's mouth, silencing the animal. "Shh.'"

>Faris looks at Yuffie... then the chihuahua... then Yuffie... then the 

chihuahua....

>Belldandy smiles back at Urd with the same casualness, only her expression 

isn't anywhere near as sarcastic, "It is a lovely place, isn't it?" n.n

>The dog suddenly goes silent, turning his head to *stare* at Cloud with those 

big, dewey eyes. o.o

>Yuffie does NOT look like a Chihuahua! ;_;

>Urd sigggghs..

>Kim has arrived.

>Lyrae (OOC) giggles

>No, but you're as noisy as one =)

Janus (OOC) tosses Yuffie a biscut! ^_-

>Kim blinks o_o

>Yuffie (OOC) rips Janus a new one. =.=

>Kim says, "Egads."

>Ryan sits at the bar. The bandage is off his head now, but he has a huge black 

eye   @_^;

>The chihuahua shakes its muzzle in an attempt to free himself from Lyrae. >.<  

*mrphmprhmprh*

>Ryan comments, rather dryly, "Welcome to the 7th Heaven ER."

>Lev . o O ( Seventh Circle of Hell. ^_^ )

>Lyrae blinks and keeps her hand clamped over the dog's mouth, nodding towards 

Kim in greeting, seeing as she can't wave, "Hi."

>Yuffie waves at Kim, though she keeps one hand to the ceiling for a good grip.

>Lev . o O ( Mmm...I remember that bar... )

>Kim says, "Is this a party? >_>"

>The chihuahua begins to get mad.  The chihuahua does what any good chihuahua 

would do in this situation...

>Lyrae sets the dog down.

>Belldandy walks over, "Lyrae, would you like for me to hold him for now?"

>The chihuahua stains the floor instead of Lyrae's hand. ^o.o^ Yipyip.

>Yamazaki settles down into his seat, his huge frame barely fitting into the 

chair. He turns his sharp gaze to the bar, then over to the crowd in the 

doorway. As the little chihuahua barks Ryuji's left eye twitches. . o 

(Rrr..damn mutt!)

>Lyrae walks over to the bar, "If you want to." She addresses Ryan next, "Do you 

want a drink?"

>Lyrae (OOC) x_x

>Ryan blinks, with his non-bruised eye. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, just a beer or 

something."

>Urd asks, "I wonder, if they served drinks at the animal shelter, would it be 

terribly different than this?"

>Pikachu sits down on Lyrae's shoulder 'n.n'

>Ryan comments, "It'd have a nicer smell."   @_c

>The chihuahua suddenly becomes a brown blur, LEAPING from the ground for 

Cloud's neck!  When Rat Dogs Attack, new Fox Special! 0.0

>Urd says, "I'm glad someone else here thinks like me. C'mere, Ryan, I'll pour 

ya a sake."

>Lyrae nods and gets a beer with her non-bruised hand, carrying it over to Ryan 

and setting it on the table. Then she turns and walks behind the bar, breezing 

past the stain and cleaning the mess up in little to no time.

>Cloud sips whiskey. "... er... Yuffie? is this..." He suddenly splashes the 

whiskey into the dog's face, jamming its muzzle into the glass.

>Janus hrmmmmmmmmms at Cloud's silence to his question. "Well, seems Spikey here 

is a bit quiet." he looks over to Ryan after, and chuckles as he asks, "What 

did Tifa do to him this time?"

>Lyrae (OOC) n.n;

>The hyperactive chihuahua scrabbles against the glass, trying to move further 

and onto Cloud. >.<

>Ryan turns to Urd, with a bruised-slash-beat to hell smile, "Sorry, already 

have something to drink. But I can still come over there, if you'd like."   @_^

>Kim slips through the crowd, heading towards the bar and Lyrae. o_o

>Yamazaki . o O ( Good..better than what I'd do to that little thing. )

>Urd shrugs. "Sure."

>Ryan turns to Janus. "It was Harken, Janus."

>Lyrae looks at Kim.

>Kim says, "Gosh.  This place is busy tonight. ^_^;"

>Cloud says, "..." as the dog jams itself further into the glass. What the...? 

He looks over at Ryan. "Er..."

>Lyrae quietly says, "No kidding," she nods.

>Urd sips her sake. "So did a truck hit you, Ry?"

>Ryan stands up, walking over to Urd. Hey, if you're gonna be stuck in a mad 

house, might as well have a pretty girl to ogle.

>Belldandy watches the hyperactive chihuahua for a moment before she goes over 

to try and calm it down if she can. o.o

>Lyrae rests her chin on her ri..er, left hand.

>The chihuahua's feet kick back madly as Belldandy approaches, though he doesn't 

notice. >.<  *mipmipmipmip*

>Janus blinks slightly, never heard that name, so he reacts how every average 

man would act. "Harken?" he looooooks over towards Cloud with a smirk, "Okay, 

whose the new girl, Cloud?"

>Kim asks, "Need any help?"

>Cloud says, "..." at the chichuachua before looking over at Janus. "... ask 

Ryan."

>Ryan comments for Cloud, as he heads over to Urd, "Just a friendly gal who 

likes beating people up and wants to kill the human race. Par for the course."

>Yamazaki's eyes follow the little dog as it scrambles about, the pupils dialate 

then shrink into small barely seen specks.

>Janus smiles, and nods, "Aaaah! That kind of girl." He nudges Cloud lightly, as 

he leans over to him, "So, you broke the girls heart that badly, Spikes?"

>Lyrae shakes her head at Kim, coing back to wiping the bar.

>Cloud says, "... No." He hands the chihuachua to Janus without a word, standing 

up.

>The chihuahua begins to hum as he builds up chi energy. o.o;

>Faris is watching the dog as well. At least she's looking more annoyed than she 

is scared. Wait... it's humming? Er....?

>Lyrae quietly says, "I have it under control Kim, you relax."

>It's going to self destruct!

>INCOMING DOG!

>Kim says, "I'm already relaxed.  Not my style, as you should know by now."

>The chihuahua... begins to turn... blonde. o_O  Either he's had one too many 

taco bell burritos, or... saiyan rat dog? O_O

>Janus blinks, and looks down towards the chihuachua afterwards, "Heeeeeey, what 

do we have here?.." he smiles, and pets it gently afterwards.  He knows how to 

handle animals. n.-

>Yamazaki rolls his head on his shoulders slowly then rises from his seat to 

head to the bar.

>Belldandy reaches out and puts her hand on the dog's neck, "There there, no 

need to...oh my." o.o

>Ryan takes a seat at Urd's table, wincing a little bit as the back wound Harken 

gave him acts up   @_o;

>( Janus vs Chihuahua!  Round 1! )

>Urd asks Ryan, "Genocidal chick, huh? Is she not human herself?"

>Chihuahua wins. TKO!

>Cloud walks away from Janus, thank you, as he joins Ryan.

>The chihuahua's fur goes spiny as he suddenly moves to bite off Janus' nose. >.<

>Lyrae glances at Kim, "True.." she smiles lightly.

>Ryan shakes his head. "You know about the large craft in orbit, right?"

>Kim grins

>Yuffie clings to the ceiling, watching as she eats from a bag of popcorn.

>Urd says, "Oh. The metal dealies."

>Janus hands the chihuahua over towards Ryan first, smiling happily, "Nice dog. 

^_^"

>Faris's eyes widen at the dog, pushing the empty container across the bar. 

"....you know, I think I need a refil." She watches a moment. "....a _big_ one."

>Kim says, "Here, I'll clean these glasses for you."

>Ryan nods. "Ayup. They're tougher'n they look."

>Kim blinks

>Kim says, "Lyrae...."

>Lyrae nods at Kim, "Okay, thanks." She glances towards Ryuji as he approaches, 

and then takes Faris' container.

>Which is saying a lot, considering Harken's looks.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pika..." 'n.n' still sitting on Lyrae's shoulder.

>Urd says, "Looks like you used your face as a shield."

>The chihuahua is now floating in mid-air, gnashing his teeth at Janus.  Glowing 

puppy eyes! Glowing puppy eyes! @_@

>"Nani?" Lyrae asks as she gets another bottle and pours it, one handed.

>Yamazaki walks over to the bar, closer to Lyrae it seems, each step heavy.

>Urd says, "I'm sure it'll heal fine.."

>Ryan sweatdrops. "No, I got beat up all over... not as badly as her, though."

>Lyrae slides the container towards Faris, "Here you are." Her light green eyes 

then move towards Ryuji, "..may I help you?"

>Janus doesn't notice, nosiree. ^_^  He blinks at Ryan at first, then 

hrmms...wait, he'll just set it on the table in front of him!  He does so!

>Urd glances at the puppy.

>Faris is actually paying more attention to that dog than her drink at the 

moment. . o O (Blasted thing is possessed!) She reaches for her daggers. Or 

one, at least. The other tugs the drink over, juuuust in case.

>Kim says, "There's a....large yellow mouse on your shoulder."

>Urd looks abck at Ryan, choosing to ignored the mini-hellhound

>Lyrae quietly says, "Pokemon."

>Lyrae quietly says, "It's name is Pikachu." She reaches her left hand up and 

idly pets the animal, "Pikachu, this is Kim."

>Ryan crosses his arms. "... Yeah, she managed to capture Cloud... and it was 

either fight her in his place, or hand over the plans to the city."

>Suddenly, the chi-powered Chihuahua  suddenly bolts for 

Janus. *YAPYAPYAPYAP*  *foaming at the mouth*

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi Pikachu." 'n.n'

>Kim says, "Uh...hi." n.n; waving to the pokmeon.

>Urd asks, "Why would they want the plans for the city?"

>Yamazaki takes a step to Lyrae and begins to speak. "Yeah, I...what the 

****....?" His eye twitches again as he slowly looks towards the dog. "..the 

hell is that thing...?"

>Ryan shakes his head. "I haven't got a clue... but probably for nothing good."

>Ryan says, "That's kinda a given."

>Lyrae asks gently, "...a new breed of chihuahua?"

>Kim says, "=.o;"

>Janus moves away from the chihuahua, around Ryan as he murmurs, "Hey, should 

take a look at the dog, Ryan.  Kinda cute.  May help liven up spirits ^_^" he 

walks away towards another table...

>Belldandy (OOC) gets her once-in-a-blue-moon mood swings and @smites the 

chihuahua down with a bolt of summoned lightning. -.-

>Ryan . o O ( Someone give Janus a lobotomy?   @_=; )

>Urd looks at the dog again.. "Maybe you should send that to the metal demons."

>Kim says, "Can we step on it?" eyeing the dog.

>Lyrae (OOC) LOL

>Lyrae quietly says, "No."

>Ryan . o O ( First time I've seen that guy cheery... )

>*YAPYAPYAPYA-thump*

>Janus (OOC) WOOHOOS at Belldandy! ^_-

>Ryan sweatdrops. "... That'd be a low blow, Urd."

>Lyrae quietly says, "..."

>Belldandy (OOC) @urkels, "Did I do that?" o.o;

>Lyrae (OOC) ...

>Urd asks, "To the dog or the demons?"

>Yuffie peers down at the... dead Chihuahua? o.o  Strange... there's a big OOC 

branded on his side, as if he were smited by some strange bolt of lightning. 

o.o;

>Ryan says, "The latter."

>Smoke rises from the roast Chihuahua. O.o;

>Lyrae quietly says, "...."

>Ryan (OOC) prays to Bell-sama   @_*

>Yamazaki's attention drifts from the dog and back over to Lyrae. He raises his 

eyebrow as he stares at her, his eyes now locked to her.

>Yuffie suddenly hops down from the ceiling and picks up the roast chihuahua. *_*

>Yuffie . o O ( ... smells like chicken. o.o )

>Kim says, "Yuffie. o_o"

>Lyrae doesn't notice Ryuji's sudden interest. Her eyes narrow towards Yuffie.

>Ryan isn't watching Yuffie. Thankfully. He's in enough pain.

>Yuffie glances at Kim as she holds the roast dog up by his tail.  "Ye-es?"

*drop* ***PUNT***

>Chihuahua go down da hoooooole. n.n  I mean out the door. o.o

>Lyrae quietly says, "......"

>Kim says, "Put...the dog....down...."

>Urd sips her sake.

>Yuffie lowers her hands, turning back to Kim as the chihuahua sails out the 

door.  "Done." ^_^

>Kim says, "Better. ^_^;"

>Ryan sweatdrops as a roast dog flies over his head. "..."   @_o;

>Lyrae hisses softly..

>Lyrae asks gently, "You call that BETTER!?"

>Kim blinks at Lyrae o.o

>Urd says, "I didn't know they served hot dogs here."

>Kim says, "Lyrae, the thing was dangerous."

>Janus blinks, as he looks at the dog. ".....What the.." he watches fly on by 

him afterwards.  He blinks. . o O ( ..... ) "Okay... I think I need to get my 

eyes checked suddenly. o.o;"

>Faris shakes her head, making sure the knife stays in its sheath, then picking 

up her drink and taking a sip from it. . o O (I'm never, _ever_m going to get 

used to this place...)

>Lyrae closes her eyes, setting her jaw and just goes -dead- silent. And resumes 

cleaning the counter viciously.

>Yamazaki continues to stare at Lyrae.

>Yamazaki . o O ( This is the one I'm lookin for.. )

>Kim says, "Lyrae?..."

>Lyrae doesn't respond.

>Yuffie walks over to Kim's side, blinking quietly.

>Ryan looks up. "Hey, Belldandy?"

>Pikachu just blinks and grrrs, looking at Kim and Yuffie.

>Belldandy walks over and blinks. Ryuji's blocking her seat. She taps him on the 

shoulder, "Excuse me, sir?" Ryan's voice gets her attention and she looks over 

at him, "Yes, Ryan?"

>Lyrae does, however, look up once she gets the feeling that she's been watched. 

She opens her eyes, looking at Ryuji. "..I'm sorry, did you want a drink?"

>Pikachu stands up on Lyrae's shoulder, "Pi pikaCHU!!!" sending a nice zap of 

electricity at the two who hurt Lyrae's feelings.

>Ryan waves Belldandy over.

>Belldandy says, "Oh, nevermind sir, I don't need my seat back just yet." She 

walks over to where Ryan is, "Yes?"

>Kim says, "AAaa!" x.x getting a healthy dose of zappage before falling over.

>You mumble, "... You two are both like Goddesses or something, right?" to 

Belldandy Urd.

>Ryan mumbles, "..  ..  ..  You  .....  are  .....  .....  Goddesses  or  .....  

..  .....  .." to Belldandy Urd.

>Pikachu crosses its arms and nods, "Chu!"

>Urd asks, "A lot like that, or something. Yes?"

>Lyrae blinks and looks towards Kim and Yuffie. ".....?" o.o Then at the..other 

Yuffie.

>Yamazaki blinks as if coming out of some sort of trance, he begins to respond 

to Lyrea when suddenly he is tapped on the shoulder. Ryuji takes in a quick 

breath and tenses up, his massive shoulders rising. He rolls his head on his 

shoulders creating an unsettling cracking and popping noise as he looks to 

Belldandy. "hm?"

>You mumble, "Okay, but... um... of what?" to Belldandy Urd.

>Ryan mumbles, "Okay  ..  .....  ..  ..  ..  .....  ..  ..  ..  of  what  .." to 

Belldandy Urd.

>Belldandy glances over at Yuffie before nodding to Ryan, "Yes, that's correct."

>Urd says, "Ohhh.. this and that.."

Kim twitches on the floor x.x

>Kim says, "Ow."

>Yuffie blinkblink... then EEPS when she sees Kim. 0.0  "Kim!  Are you okay?"  

She falls to her knees beside the girl, shaking her. ;_;

>Lyrae remains silent, pausing long enough to pardon herself politely to get a 

broom and clean up the robot parts. That done she pulls Kim to her feet and 

returns to her post.

>Lyrae pets Pikachu quietly.

>Belldandy mumbles, "One of our main tasks is to monitor Yggdrasil, the main 

supercomputer that runs this reality." to Ryan Urd.

>Belldandy mumbles, "One  .....  our  main  .....  .....  to  .....  .....  ..  

the  .....  .....  that  runs  .....  .....  .." to Ryan Urd.

>Lev scowls, yanking an audio array out of his vest and jamming the plugs 

tightly in his ears. He brings his pad to eye-level, and hits the 'Mute' 

button. x.x

>Lyrae quietly says, "...." at the head. -.-;

>Ryan sweatdrops. "... Makes sense. Does God use Unix?"

>Pikachu smiles to Lyrae. 'n.n' "Chu."

>Yamazaki watches Belldandy walk away..he lets out an annoyed grunt then looks 

back to the bar, his eyes  following Lyrae.

>Janus smiles, as he looks over towards his sister for a moment, "Well, see ya, 

Sis..  Good luck with your job.  I've gotta go on and handle something, so I'll 

see you later!" he waves to everyone else he knows before leaving as well. :)

>Lyrae . o O ( Why does this stuff always happen on -my- shift. )

>Because we care!

>Lyrae quietly says, "...."

>Lyrae looks at Ryuji, "..I'm sorry. Did you want a drink?"

>Ryan . o O ( Janus being happy is REALLY freaky   @_o )

>Kim shakes her head. @.@

>Urd mumbles, "Bell handles the present. I hold dominion over the past. And 

we're of different schools of magic, as it were. I work less with raw magicks, 

and more with potions and philters." to Ryan Belldandy.

>Urd mumbles, "Bell  .....  the  present  ..  I  hold  dominion  over  .....  

.....  ..  .....  we're  of  .....  schools  of  magic  ..  .....  .....  ..... 

 ..  I  .....  less  .....  .....  .....  ..  .....  .....  with  potions  

.....  philters  .." to Ryan Belldandy.

>Janus (OOC) winks at Ryan. ^_-

>Kim. o O (Evil mouse) o.-;

>Yuffie sighs, shoving her hands into her pockets while staying close to Kim.  

"... great... and I really liked that toy too. ;.;"

>Yamazaki's eyes lock to Lyrae's, he motions over to her with his head for her 

to come closer.

>Lyrae scritches Pikachu absently, then blinks and leans over so she can hear 

Yamazaki

>Urd mumbles, "I'm also a cupid of luuuuv. ^_-" to Ryan Belldandy.

>Urd mumbles, ".....  .....  a  cupid  .....  luuuuv  ..  ^_-" to Ryan Belldandy.

>Belldandy nods to Urd.

>Ryan just... sweatdrops at that (poorly concealed) mumble   @_o;

>Janus (OOC) waves out for real though..Going to close this window and go 

through some manga I just got today (Including a Kenshin manga!  Finally!). *_* 

Ja!

>Janus has left.

>Yamazaki steps forward, his form towering over Lyrae. He simply nods his head 

and says in a quiet gruff tone. "..yes..."

>Faris blinks at the bit of conversation that managed to filter through, 

glancing over at them, arching her eyebrows.

>Lyrae sweatdrops just slightly as her gaze moves upwards while she leans on the 

counter, "What would you like?"

>Ryan says, "Anyway... I was just curious."

>Kim watches Lyrae work quietly

>Belldandy mumbles, "I deal more with nature and all that relates to it. But 

we're not limited to just our fields of specialization." to Ryan Urd.

>Belldandy mumbles, ".....  .....  .....  with  nature  and  all  .....  .....  

.....  .....  ..  But  .....  .....  .....  .....  just  our  .....  of  .....  

.." to Ryan Urd.

>Urd spills her cup of sake..

>Ryan nods.

>Urd stands.. "What.."

>Belldandy's eyes widen and she looks over at Urd worriedly, "Skuld." o.o

>Urd fixes her eyes forward and seems to be listening to something.

>Urd blinks. "Uhoh."

>Yamazaki reaches behind him and removes something from a case on the back of 

his belt and holds it in his hand hidden from view behind his wrist. "Just 

whiskey...." He looks to the others then turns his back to everyone and steps 

between Lyrae and the room, blocking her from view.

>You mumble, "I just don't specialize is theurgy and stuff; I specialize in more 

mundane things... most of my mystic knowledge is second-hand." to Ryan Urd 

Belldandy.

>Ryan mumbles, ".....  .....  .....  .....  .....  theurgy  .....  stuff;  ..... 

 specialize  .....  .....  .....  things  ..  ..  ..  .....  .....  my  mystic  

knowledge  is  .....  .." to Ryan Urd Belldandy.

>Lyrae nods and turns away to get the whiskey. At least she's getting a little 

variety today.

>Faris glances at the man at the bar with her, looking him over briefly, then 

paying more attention to the 'discussion' elsewhere in the bar.

>Yamazaki moves closer to Lyrae and calls to her just above a whisper. 

"..you...turn around quietly."

>Kim says, "..." still watching Lyrae.

>Kim. o O (I've never seen her so angry...)

>Lyrae, once she has the drink, pauses, at the whisper..frowning just slightly, 

then turns around. Slowly.

>Ryan . o O ( Something's up... Janus is cheery, and Lyrae isn't quiet or happy  

 @_o )

>Lyrae pays Kim no mind, though she knows she's being watched by her.

>Urd says, "Bell, we gotta go."

>Ryan blinks. "Hmm?"

>Faris glances towards Yamazaki again.. and the obscured Lyrae. She lets it rest 

there, curious, and at least a little bit alarmed. Just a little. really.

>Urd and Belldandy both look worried and tense..

>Yamazaki's teeth clentch as he holds a long wooden object in his hand. Passing 

his thumb over it he pushes a button, suddenly a long blade slides out from the 

shaft. His eyes narrow as he speaks to her, his tone cold and eerily 

casual..but threatening. "Say nothing...or else..." He keeps the blade in front 

of him out of view from the others then twists it so the light shimmers against 

its cold surface.

>Echartea has arrived.

>Ryan blinks. Belldandy tense means nothing good. "Hey, if there's trouble, I'm 

i-" He goes to stand up, the sudden wave of pain making his change his helping 

attitude   @_;

>Echartea pads in silently, looking around......his deep-blue  eyes scanning the 

room.

>Lyrae blinks, and replies. "....." tensely.

>Ryan is bandaged up in several places... must've got in an accident, or 

something

>Lyrae is hidden from view by Ryuji's towering form n.n

>Belldandy nods to Urd, "Right away."

>Yamazaki hides the blade under his vest and motions for her to come closer. 

"..get over here...."

>Echartea blinks,  and silently wonders what he's walked in on....

>Echartea pads over to the bar, and  takes a seat, shaking  his head to himself.

>Kim raises an eyebrow at the guy standing VERY close to Lyrae.

>Urd says, "We'll use one of your mirrors."

>Faris is sitting at the bar, watching Ryuji somewhat, though without a good 

view. Just... tense, for the moment. Then again, there are other things to 

see... like the other guy at the bar?

>Ryan gingerly sits down. "But... what's going on?"

>Urd falls in line behind Belldandy. 

>Urd grabs Belldandy's hand.

>Belldandy nods and takes Urd's hand, walking towards a mirror by the staircase.

>Urd says, "Emergency, Ryan. We'll explain later.."

>Belldandy leaves, with Urd following behind her. 

>Lyrae quietly says, "...." For a second, she debates against it. Her attention 

casually moves towards the stairs, then the kitchen, for a moment. Then 

casually, she walks closer to Ryuji, keeping a perfectly neutral expression.

>Lev is fiddling with his pad. He still can't hear a word, but that's about to 

change as he disables the mute. Mostly because he's aware of being watched. He 

glances over at Faris, grinning...but then follows one of her side-glances. 

That's odd, where'd Lyrae go...? Just when he wanted another damn drink. 

Waitresses, they're all alike. =_=

>Cloud sighs, after the chaos simmer down, as h elooks towards Ryan.

>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) HEY!! *shakes a fist*"

>Ryan blinks. "... Awww maaan..."

>Pikachu pikas! 'o.o' sitting on Lyrae's shoulder

>Yuffie reaches slowly into her pocket and pulls out a squirt gun. o.o

>Lev grins smugly to himself, and jumps over the bar. ^_^

>Echartea mrphs.

>Pikachu isn't sure what to do for fear of Lyrae's safety, so it doesn't move. 

'o.o'

>Lyrae glances up at Pikachu, then blinks. She is behind the bar, Lev -.o

>Yamazaki whispers to her. "..is anyone watching...look carefully and don't draw 

attention.." He pats his vest where the blade hides underneath.

>Echartea sighs, resting his beaktip against the bartop.

>Pikachu stays nice and still, looking at the weapon 'O.O'

>Lyrae looks to one side, not moving her head. Her gaze takes in Kim, then 

slides towards Echartea, then Faris, and ..Lev as he hops over the bar. Lastly 

up at Pikachu, then back to Ryuji, with a slow, calm nod. o O ( ... )

>Yuffie aims the squirt gun at Pikachu, ready to fire. o.o

>Echartea rubs the back of his neck, yawning...he looks up at Lyrae.

>Kim grabs Yuffie's hand. o.-

>Kim says, "Hey."

>Ryan is left sitting at the table, pondering what the hell is going on. "...?"

>Echartea clicks quietly, "Hi...haven't seen you for a while."

>Cloud heads over to sit down next to Ryan. "..."

>Faris gives the odd dolphin-man a few good looks, then shrugs to herself. 

*siiip* Looked at? Grinned at? Hm? She blinks as she sees Lev... then sees Lev 

leap the bar. ....er, Ok.

>Yuffie glances at Kim.  "... what?" o.o

>Lyrae erks softly as she is addressed, and pauses, glancing at Ryuji, then back 

to Echartea, remarking casually, "Hai.. I've..been busy working.."

>Kim asks, "What are you up to?"

>Lev begins preparing a drink...and drops it to the floor as the pad buzzes a 

proximity alert. . o O ( .... ) He draws a handcannon while eyeing the device, 

coming to bear on...Ryuji's direction. Ahh...so there's the barmaid. And 

there's the kawaii blade that triggered his weapon. "...Are you two enjoying 

yourselves?"

>Yamazaki. o O (Shit..) He speaks low and still outwardly calm. "Ok..heres how 

we do this...you will walk outside.. Don't try anything...I've been watching 

you for a week and know your routine and I know everything you do, where you 

live..everything. Unless you can sleep the next few weeks with your eyes open 

you won't pull any stupid stunt...got me?" He looks around as if in a calm 

discussion with Lyrae.

>Faris blinks, eyes snapping wider at the sight of that weapon. *cough* Hoboy. 

No one warns her of these things. She sits bolt-upright and tenses, just in 

case, glancing between people behind that bar.

>Yuffie smiles. ^^  "I was gonna squirt that cute little guy." n.n

>Lev is definately appearing odd to the crowd, having leapt behind the bar, 

prepare a drink, only to drop it on the ground and draw a weapon on someone. 

This just isn't Tifa's week for glasses.

>Kim says, "Don't sink to its level, Yuffie. -_-"

>Cloud turns his head over as he looks towards Lev, when the glass shatters. 

Then his gaze follows Lev towards Ryuji.

>Yuffie hmns... then nods, tucking the gun back into her pocket. ^^  "You're 

right... I won't sink to his level..." Then, she trots out of the bar quickly, 

without another word. O.o;

>Kim says, "Yuffie? o.o" following her.

>Echartea blinks

>Lyrae slooowly kneels and picks up the broken pieces of glass, hissing 

something to Lev quickly.

>Yuffie returns just as Kim nears the door, carrying a shoulder-mounted super 

soaker, powered by a motor.  >:)  "I'll go ABOVE his level!"

>Ryan looks over in Lyrae's direction. Some sort of commotion? Ryan may be 

wounded, but he's quite capable of whuping butt if the need arises.

>Lev considers his options. Ah! An excellent one. "...Sir, may I ask...what are 

you doing so close to my girlfriend?"

>Lyrae FaceFAULTS into the floor *THUD*

>Kim says, "Yuffie!! O_o"

>Echartea blinks

>Yamazaki's eye twitches again...he starts to feel a little uncomfortable at all 

the stares. He glares at Lyrae then turns around to face the on-lookers. 

"WHAT??!"

>Faris (OOC) LOL! "Wow! Almost upstaged Ryan with that one!"

>Lyrae gets back up, with Pikachu still on her shoulder, amazingly.

>Lyrae (OOC) grins

>Yuffie giggles, then takes AIM at Pikachu.  "BANZAI!!!!"

>Ryan (OOC) hands over the 'idiot' award   @_;

>*click*

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi...ka?..." 'o_o'

>Yuffie o.o

>*clickclick*

>Echartea looks towards Lyrae, blinking...

>Kim phews -.-;

>Yuffie sighs, looking down.  "... I knew I forgot something..."

>Lyrae sidles away from the bar with Pikachu on her shoulder, moving away from 

Ryuji, and motioning for Lev to do the same.

>Kim stands in front of the gun

>Kim says, "This is no way to act. =_="

>Yuffie holds up the gun, checking the water level. o.o  "... oh yeah, water 

guns need water. o.o"

>Lev is behind the bar Kim, and he's right next to Lyrae. x.x

>Echartea blinks..

>Faris looks at Lev, then towards Ryuji again, shrugging. Really, she just came 

in for a drink. Really. Even if her drink is temporarily forgotten.

>Lyrae reeeaches out slowly to grab for Lev's wrist and bodily yank him away if 

possible o O ( Jeez o.o )

>Ryan blinks. He's always the last to find out what's going on. "...?"  @_;

>Yuffie sighs and nods, looking up at Kim. ;.; "Gomen nasai."

>Kim is standing in front of YUFFIE'S gun

>Yamazaki calms quickly and reaches for a beer bottle on the bar. "Can't a guy 

drink alone around here..?" With that he takes the bottle and smashes it 

against himself then shakes his head. "...aaaaaahhhh...rrrr.."

>Lyrae SWEATDROPS.

>Kim says, "S'ok. ^_^;"

>Yuffie takes off her water weapon and lightly puts it on the ground. ;.;

>Kim says, "Don't do it again =_="

>Echartea blinks

>Lyrae . o O ( what does he do, absorb it through hair follicles? x.x )

>Lev nods politely and follows Lyrae with a sidestep, keeping his back to the 

wall.

>Echartea watches everyone moving, not quite following

>Yamazaki nods then turns to face Lyrae, but finds she has moved. His eyes dart 

to her. "grrn!"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika..." 'o.o'

>Lyrae pastes a smile on her face. o O ( *SWEATDROP* )

>Echartea looks at Yama, frowning..wondering what he's growling about..

>Look, Lyrae's smiling!  You KNOW something's wrong

>Lyrae (OOC) LOL

>Lyrae (OOC) bipples the spoofer n.n

>Kim x_x (ooc)

>Lyrae's smile vanishes again (so there nyah :) ) as she quickly calms.

>Faris finally gives up on just watching. "WHat in the world is going on?" she 

asks, exasperatedly.

>Echartea looks at Faris.

>Yamazaki's eyes narrow as he takes a few steps towards Lyrae as if to say GET 

OVER HERE!

>Echartea blinks, and shrugs,  his gaze settling once more on Yama...his eyes 

narrowing slightly....

>Scorpion runs in and sues the pants off of Yamazaki

>Ryan shrugs in Faris' general direction.   @_o;

>Lyrae sideglances at Faris, then at Ryuji, coughing, and scooting past Ryuji.. 

placing herself directly in front of Faris, behind the bar.

>Cloud has disconnected.

>Lev clears his throat politely. *ahrem* He gives Yamazaki a glance that could 

curdle milk.

>Lyrae mumbles, "*motions  at  .....  .....  ..  ..  I  .....  you'd  .....  

.....  careful  ..  .." to Faris.

>Echartea's eyes flicker a weak shade of red.

>Faris blinks at Lyrae, then up at Ryuji, narrowing her eyes slightly. She downs 

a gulp of her drink, setting it back down and looking at Lyrae.

>Echartea. o O (Okay. This reeks of rotting octopi)

>Kim shakes her head, standing by the door -.-

>Lyrae shakes her head at Faris.

>( A curdled milk, Ryuji looks slowly over to Lev and grins then bows his head 

and looks back to Lyrae..his shoulders tense. "A...miss....?? )

>Faris mumbles, "Looks  .....  you  and  .....  boyfriend  have  .....  ..  ..  

..  .....  if  .....  .....  .....  .....  ..  .....  handled  .....  .....  

.....  .." to Lyrae.

>Lyrae sweatdrops.

>Lyrae looks towards Lev, then back at Faris.

>Lyrae mumbles, ".....  ..  ..  hai  ..  .....  ..  ....." to Faris.

>Echartea seems a litle agitated.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi pika..." 'o.o' looking at Lyrae

>Yamazaki . o O ( Ok..one way to do it..its TOO crowded.. )

>Echartea asks, "(OOC) Okay..Ech's highly empathic.  There is a lot of tension 

and hostility in this room, correct?"

>Faris (OOC) snickers. D'Uh. ;)

>Lyrae plants her back against the bar, watching the room, particularly Ryuji. 

At Pikachu's comment, she reaches up and pets it gently.

>Lyrae (OOC) grins

>Echartea clicks quietly, "(OOC) Well thank-you."

>Faris plops her chin on her hand after that comment, just... staring. You know 

that look. That 'Just try something, Buddy' look.

>Faris (OOC) grins.

>Lev idly attaches a laser-sighter to the top of the gun, and runs it in circles 

around Yamazaki, without actually touching him. Strike two.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika.."

>Echartea is still unsure of what is going on, but the growing hostility causes 

his dorsal fin to perk....the tint of red in his eyes growing darker....more to 

a shade of crimson...

>Kim blinks o.o

>Kim asks, "Echa-san?"

>Pikachu's ears twitch

>Echartea looks at Kim...his eyes flickering a blue of recognition momentarily, 

before reverting to blood-red. "Aye?"

>Kim says, "Are you...okay?" o.o;

>Yamazaki watches Lev as he circles around him. He closes his eyes and hunches 

over, straightens his right arm and lets it hang loosely infront of him, 

swaying from side to side.

>Echartea clicks quietly, "Merely agitated...the hostility in here is very 

intense...."

>Echartea's left eye turns back to focus on Yamazaki..not wanting to lose track 

of him..his right eye still on Kim.

>Lyrae, looks at Yamazaki, then towards the door. She places one hand against 

Pikachu, silently debating making a quick exit.

>Pikachu hangs onto Lyrae.

>Kim gulps at the freaky one eye stare o_o;

>Yuffie o.o

>Lyrae glances towards the others in the bar, Kim, Yuffie, then Faris and Ryan. 

And sloowly starts inching towards the other end of the bar.

>Yuffie ;_;

>Kim says, "Uh...Echa-san..." grabbing Yuffie's arm and pulling her over

>Lyrae . o O ( Just stay to the perimeter of the room, out of arm's length. Once 

I'm out in the open.. *phoo* )

>Ryan is trying his hardest to figure out what's going on. It isn't working.

>Echartea asks, "Yes?"

>Yuffie follows Kim without complaint, blinking. o.o

>Yamazaki's eyes spring open wide as he lets out an animalist howl, hight 

pitched and intense. "YWOAR!!!" His arm curls up the slashes out at Lev in a 

wide arch to back him off, then he leaps behind the bar bulldogging Lyrae to 

the wall and moves to hoist her up over his shoulder.

>Kim says, "I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Yuffie.  Yuffie, this is my 

friend, Echartea." n.n;

>Kim blinks! O_O;

>Echartea growls angrily

>Yuffie makes a motion as if to bow to Echartea, then *BLINKS* at the YWOAR. o.o

>Echartea's glare snaps to Yamazaki

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi Pikachu!" gripping onto Lyrae's shoulder. 'o.o'

>Echartea immediately leaps to the defensive, taking  up his staff..

>Ryan leaps to his feet. "!"

>Lyrae quietly says, "Aa, aa YEEEP!" she backpedals quickly into the wall with a 

*thump*, holding onto Pikachu securely as Ryuji is certainly able to hoist her 

up - provided he isn't stopped that is o.o;

>Faris snaps her head up at the cry and movement both. Whoops. This can't be 

good. Her hands snap together, energy channeling, trying to concentrate it.

>Echartea's eyes are now a deep shade of rage-red.

>Ryan poses dramtically (the effect ruined by his bandages) as he snaps, "Just 

WHAT THE HELL do you think you're doing!?"

>Yuffie acts purely on impulse as she reaches into her pocket and extracts a 

handful of... oh great. =.=;  Where did she get MORE of those tiny concussive 

grenades?

>Yamazaki growls and takes his knife out of his vest, his eyes narrow as he 

looks to Pikachu. "LET go..!" He jerks back with Lyrae on his shoulder then 

kicks out to back away anyone close to him.

>Ryuji_Yamazaki offers to lead Lyrae.

>Echartea slowly starts towards Yamazaki...growling delphinically..

>Yamazaki's arm...encounters serious resistance...BURNING resistance. It feels 

like his arm is on fire, while at the same time forcing him -away- from Lev. 

Still, however, it manages to penetrate enough to give him a fierce finger-stab 

to the chest. Lev hunches over, bringing the gun to his head-level. 

"...Pleasant dreams." A blue ball of energy zooms towards his forehead.

>Pikachu doesn't let go, just hangs on, closing its eyes, shaking like a scared 

animal. '>.<'

>Yamazaki (OOC) sorries and will pose for Lev's hit.

>Yuffie starts to juggle the spheres in one hand, looking a bit uneasy as she 

watches.  "...."

>Lyrae's attention snaps towards the others jumping up, then at Ryan's shout. 

ERRKS as she gets tossed over Ryuji's shoulder @.@

>Kim watches with wide eyes, wanting to help, but knowing one fighter too many 

can be more dangerous than none at all.

>Ryan dives to catch Lyrae. Save! Ow... the back wound he has just broke open 

again  @_O

>Echartea moves very slowly..acting with the utmost caution.....his eyes still 

flaring deep  red....

>Yuffie always keeps a cache. :D

>We won't ask where.

>Lyrae ulfs at the save, then eeps at the saver, "Ryan I'm sorry!"

>Yamazaki drops Lyrae and turns to face Lev, his eye's widen as he is struck in 

the forehead and reels back howling. "Itai!!!" He grabs his forehead and 

uppercuts towards him, crimson chi swirling around his arm.

>Echartea growls

>Echartea stops in his tracks

>Yuffie rolls one of the concussive grenades towards Yamazaki's right foot...

>Faris has started the spell, and darned if she isn't going to finish it. 

Especially now. "Jikuumahou STOP!" She snaps her hands towards Ryuji, sending 

the energy towards him. Hopefully, it'll work.

>Ryan sweats. "No problem."   @_^;     . o O ( .................. OWIE )

>Echartea senses magic in the working...he goes to the  ground, to avoid being 

hit

>Lyrae scrambles to her feet, helping Ryan up, then looks at the others. o O ( 

.....Damnit! I can't let everyone get hurt by that guy.. ) She frowns worriedly 

at Ryan.

>Echartea rolls to the left, making sure he is out of spell's range, and leaps 

to his  feet again

>Ryan seems perfectly fine. Don't let the jabbing pain and bleeding fool you   

@_^;

>Lev swirls around after firing, letting his rear-shields take the blast. 

Unforunately, he had underestimated his opponent seeing as how he scanned only 

a blade at-hand...the energy causes the rebound-effect to push him out of range 

of the blow itself, the chi eating away at the barrier. Lev flies back into the 

wall he so carefully made sure was behind him...only now, the opposite 

direction - face first.

>Yuffie (OOC) pokes Ryan in the stomach.  "Does it hurt here, Ryan-sama? ;_; 

*poke*  Here? *jabjab* And here and here?"

>Lyrae (OOC) baps Yuffie :D

>Ryan (OOC) snaps Yuffie's neck   @_O

>Echartea growls, and closes his eyes, focusing his melon inwards...gathering 

pure sound energy.....

>Lyrae frowns and shakes her head, "I need to get you out of here before you 

hurt yourself worse Ryan," She looks at the others o O ( .. If I'm gone, maybe 

then that guy will stop fighting.. ) "Come on."

>Lev drops to the ground after hitting it, lying there. Must've knocked the 

blighter out-cold.

>Lyrae . o O ( ...I should have left sooner. )

>Ryan shakes his head. "Not until... whoever that guy is backs down. He don't 

have a CLUE what he's dealing with."   . o O (... Owie. )

>Lyrae tugs at Ryan, "No chance, after that dive, you've *GOT* to be hurting. 

Now come on!"

>Pikachu'o.o' watching the carnage that is not seen on a kid's show such as its 

own.

>Lyrae . o O ( Please oh please let the fighting stop when I leave.. )

>Echartea. o O (Focusing 

energy...wait.....wait.....wait.....calm......cool...collected......wait.....wait
 for further provocation..if he attacks further, unleash....good)

>Lyrae offers to lead Pikachu.

>Lyrae offers to lead you. "HOPON Lyrae" to accept. 

>Pikachu falls in line behind Lyrae. 

>Ryan looks at Lyrae, pausing a moment, hoping the others will take this guy 

down quickly...

>Yamazaki pulls his arm back from the attack then suddenly stops in his tracks. 

"What the hell..??" His eyes widen as a grenade rolls between his legs. 

"Shiiyat..." *BOOOM!* Ryuji flies back and into a table breaking it to 

splinters.

>Lyrae gives Ryan's hand another insistant *tug* gently though.

>Lyrae winces. o O ( .. I owe Tifa a table. )

>Ryan (OOC) WILL whup ass, you know. He's too cool not to, even wounded.   *pose*

>Lyrae (OOC) giggles

>Faris (OOC) goes *_* just to make him feel better.

>Echartea waits to see if Yama needs another reason to stop his attack...a 

reason Echartea will me more than happy to give..

>Lyrae (OOC) n.n

>A glove is lying near Lev...a very thick, metal-plated one. Must've been 

knocked out of his jacket.

>Faris pushes her chair bakc, downing the rest of her sake and walking over 

towards the downed man. She can give a few good reasons as well.

>You fall in line behind Lyrae. 

>Ryan will write a list of the reasons   n.-

>Echartea opens his eyes, the pure sound energy still on standby..

>Lyrae adjusts Pikachu on her shoulder, then whirls and hurries out of the room, 

limping slightly.

>Lyrae leaves, with you following after. 





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.

o/~ *Elevator music plays...* o/~

Welcome to the crowded impersonal world of the elevator.  Here you can easily 

(most of the time) get to the floor you wish to go to, without the strenuous 

climbing of step after step otherwise.  Just look at the 'panel' beside the

Obelisk Apartments: Fifth Floor



Exactly as you'd expect.  The clean hallways of this floor are maintained by a 

constant, almost literal army of custodians and maids.  The lighting is 

adequate, and a few security cameras add to the sense of protection.  Sparse, 

fragrant, potted plants also dispell any odors that might make their way inside 

here.

Obelisk : Room 508 - Ryan's Apartment(#618R)



One word springs to mind as you walk into Ryan's apartment: cluttered. Stuff is 

strewn everywhere, from the multitude of shelves that line the wall, to the 

comic books and CD's on the floor.

     The main room, which makes up most of the apartment, has apparently been 

relegated to storage duty. Aside from the King-sized bed, the desk, and the TV, 

all the rest of the furniture here is book shelves. As you look the shelves 

over, you see a roughly equal proportion of both scholarly texts (physics 

textbooks, archaeological logs, etc.), and comic books. How unusual. Hooked up 

to the TV is a wide variety of video game consoles, some no longer supported.

     The small kitchenette and bathroom are comparatively unremarkable.

>Lyrae arrives, with Pikachu and Ryan following behind. 

>Ryan takes a seat with a sigh. "They all come out at night..."

>Lyrae nods, echoing that sigh, "How badly did you hurt yourself?"

>Pikachu shivers, hanging onto Lyrae's shoulder.  It's frightened. 'o.o'

>Ryan rubs his back. "Not too badly... and it's realy that obvious?"

>Lyrae pulls Pikachu off her shoulder, gently, and hugs it, "More so for 

>empaths.."

>Pikachu hugs Lyrae back, clinging to her. 'o.o'

>Ryan frowns, but nods. "... Really kind of stings... Harken got a nice slash 

across my back, nearly bought it that time."

>Lyrae winces, "...Do you need the dressing changed? Painkillers..? Anything?" 

As she pets Pikachu gently.

>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..."

>Ryan shakes his head. "Nah..." Wince. "Okay, the asprin's in the cabinet in the 

bathroom."   @_;

>Lyrae smiles sadly and sets Pikachu on Ryan's lap, "Here Pikachu, keep him 

company." She ducks into the bathroom.

>Ryan sweatdrops, looking down at the yellow thing. "..."

>Pikachu looks up at Ryan 'o.o';

>Pikachu pikas?, "Pika?"

>Ryan . o O ( Great, now I bet it's gonna mock me too   @_; )

>Pikachu smiles to Ryan "Pi pika." 'n.n'

>Pikachu knows you saved Lyrae, Ryan.  It's happy. 'n.n'

>Ryan sweatdrops, giving the electric mouse a pat  @^;

>Lyrae walks back out with the aspirin, then goes for a glass, filling it with 

water. She smiles over at the 'mouse' and man bonding, o O ( Kawaii ) making 

her way back over to the two with the glass of water, "Here.." n.n;

>Ryan would be majorly mad if he heard that 'kawaii', but since he didn't, he 

just gulps down the asprin instead

>Pikachu looks up at Lyrae

>Lyrae pats Pikachu lightly, and sighs. "I'm really sorry Ryan.." -.-

>Ryan holds his hands up defensively. Gee, they're both wrapped up 

Sanosuke-style. "Hey, not your fault. Gotta blame someone, blame that idiot at 

the bar..."

>Pikachu nods, "Pi pikachu"

>Lyrae quietly says, "..Well maybe it was his fault.. but it was mine too," she 

reasons, "I mean if I had run instead of stayed where I was, you all wouldn't 

have gotten hurt."

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pi pikachu." reminding Lyrae of the weapon o.o

>Lyrae quietly says, "Well ..I would've gone out the kitchen window then. I 

wouldn't have had to pass him.."

>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..." 'o.o'

>Ryan taptaps his fingers on a handy flat surface. "Hey, stop that self-torture 

thing you always do, 'k? Things don't always work out the way you plan, but 

when they don't, just work with it and don't blame yourself."

>Pikachu pikas, "Chu." 'n.n' liking the sound of that

>Lyrae looks back at Ryan, then sweatdrops, pausing just slightly. He makes 

sense, and obviously Pikachu agrees. "..Okay.." o O ( Thout that's easier said 

than done. )

>Ryan comments, obviously sarcastic, "'Sides, it's much more fun to blame 

someone else."   @_=

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika..."

>Pikachu sweatdrops

>Lyrae chuckles under her breath at the sarcasm, "Good point." She brushes her 

hand over her bangs. "Will you be all right here? I may as well head back to 

the bar and make sure everyone's all right.."

>Ryan smirks afterwards. Joke! Get it?

>Lyrae got it, she got it n.n

>Ryan stands up, wincing slightly, but keeping Pikachu in his arms. "Oh no you 

don't, not alone"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" looking up at Ryan, not expecting to be picked up.

>Ryan peers at Lyrae. "Every time you run off by yourself you get into trouble." 

He smirks, but oh how it fits...

>Lyrae sweatdrops and sticks out her tongue, "Pikachu will protect me then."

>Lyrae adds in a more serious tone, "You're badly hurt, and I'm not going to let 

any more of my friends get hurt -again-."

>Ryuji_Yamazaki pages, ""You hear sounds of loud pounding on the doors down the 

hall, mixed with sounds of screaming old ladies and those in the hallway. The 

sounds get louder as the near this apartment." to Lyrae, Pikachu and you.

>Ryan sighs. "Whatever. But I'll follow you anyway, y'know. I ain't dead yet."

>Ryan blinks   @_O

>Lyrae stops short. "..."

>Lyrae asks gently, "What in the world..?"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!" 'o.o

>Ryan gingerly puts Pikachu down, and walks over to get his blaster. It's 

charged now... not exactly an indoor weapon, but if this gets messy...

>Pikachu hops up onto Lyrae's shoulder, its cheeks sparking.  It's ready this 

time.

>Ryan is such the masochist, apparently   @_;

>Lyrae walks over to the door and opens it just slightly, peering out through 

the crack.

>Lyrae (OOC) grins

>You page-pose, "Ryan peeks out the door" to Lyrae, Pikachu and Ryuji_Yamazaki

>Pikachu pages, "Ryan's head's on bottom, then Lyrae, then Pikachu...it's an old 

Hanna Barbera cartoon!" to Lyrae, you and Ryuji_Yamazaki.

>In a page-pose to Pikachu, you and Ryuji_Yamazaki, Lyrae giggles

>Ryuji_Yamazaki pages, ""Ryan will see an open apartment door a few doors down 

then Ryuji's hulking form exiting..he walks to the room across the hall and 

solidly kicks in the doorway. *OOC laughs and watches for those pesky kids*" to 

Lyrae, Pikachu and you.

>Lyrae frowns quietly, "..." ..then blinks. "Wait a minute.. Invisibility.. I 

almost forgot!"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika? 'o.o'"

>Ryan snaps at Lyrae, "WAIT HERE." He slings the blaster over his shoulder, and 

steps into the hall.

>o

You open the door and walk out into the hallway.





Obelisk Apartments: Fifth Floor



Exactly as you'd expect.  The clean hallways of this floor are maintained by a 

constant, almost literal army of custodians and maids.  The lighting is 

adequate, and a few security cameras add to the sense of protection.  Sparse, 

fragrant, potted plants also dispell any odors that might make their way inside 

here.

[Exits   : 509, (508) Ryan's Apartment, 507, 506, 505, 504, 503, [502] Gan and 

Faris' Apartment, (501) Alhana's Apartment, and (E)levator ]

[Players : Ryuji_Yamazaki ]

[Things  : None ]


>Lyrae arrives, with Pikachu following behind. 

>Lyrae (OOC) is waiting in the apartment, really n.n

>Pikachu is with Lyrae.  Yah yah 'n.n'

>Lyrae (OOC) giggles

>Ryan steps out of his apartment, some sort of large energy weapon slung over 

his shoulder. He waves, as says in a rather mocking tone, "Hiya. Couldya keep 

it down? I got company."

>Yamazaki is in an apartment, sounds of doors being kicked in and what could be 

chairs being tossed about echo's in the hallway.

>Lyrae listening on the other side of the closed door, *sweatdrops* slightly.

>Ryan sweatdrops. Retcon that; instead, he says that in front of the door to the 

apartment where he is now

>Lyrae (OOC) n.n

>Ryan has GOT to get his action-hero lines in, dammit!

>Pikachu pikas, "Pikachu...." wondering if Ryan is always like that. 'o.o'

>Ryan is, yes.

>Yamazaki can be ehard inside swearing loudly..then all grows silent.

>Lyrae nods to Pikachu, with a faint grin n.n;

>Ryan sits in the entrace, a cocky smirk on his face, as he waits for some sort 

of reply.

>Yamazaki dives out of the apartment holding a recliner over his head, he grits 

his teeth and laughs like a maniac. "Boo..." He reels back then tosses the 

chair towards Ryan with great ease.

>Ryan snatches it out of the air (!?). "Yeah. Hello again. You are REALLY 

annoying, y'know?"

>Pikachu presses its ear to the door, standing on Lyrae's head 'o.o'

>Yamazaki raises his eyebrow then steps forward to headbutt Ryan as he snags the 

chair.

>Lyrae would find that amusing, were the situation not so serious. She listens 

intently.

>Lyrae looks up at Pikachu. o O ( It's too quiet out there. )

>Ryan isn't about to let this ogre do that. Fronting with Ryan like he stands a 

chance... pfft, not even worth his time. Ryan tosses the chair aside, ducks 

low, and knees for the guy's 'nads   @_-

>Beavis says, "Yes!  yes!  Kick him in the nads!

>Lyrae (OOC) DOHS

>Pikachu pikas, "Wrong cartoon (ooc)"

>Darn tootin'. Ryan doesn't want a long fight, mind you; he may be all that, but 

he's still wounded

>Ryan's just all that and a bag of potatoe crumbs.. as opposed to the chips now

>@_;

>Lyrae (OOC) LOL and hugs Ryan :D

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." 'o.o';

>You page, "How fast are you?" to Ryuji_Yamazaki.

>Lyrae looks up at Pikachu, ".. The minute things go really wrong, I'm going out 

there.."

>Ryuji_Yamazaki pages, ""I'm big so not too fast..but fast for a guy my size." 

to you.

>Pikachu nods and shows a few sparks.

>Yamazaki misses and gets hit squarly between the legs and stumbles back 

wincing. "Shit..." He snaps and slashes forward with knife in hand. NRaaaaH!

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika.."

>Ryan blocks Yamazaki's knife by simply jabbing forward with his hand, grabbing 

his wrist. "You did SO not want to do that." Boot-to-the-head!

>Lyrae (OOC) thinks you oughta join Ryan's Typo Club. He's not just the 

President, he's also a member. n.n

>Ryan (OOC) ... ORA?

>Lyrae (OOC) n.n

>Yamazaki takes the hit again and falls to the side, but something else 

happens..a red aura surrounds his body as he stands back straight and uppercuts 

at Ryan with his free hand. "THAT HURT DAMMIT!"

>Lyrae shakes a fist lightly, "Go Ryan ^_^"

>Ryan ducks back... Ryan's reflexes are dulled by his injuries, and it shows; 

the fist missed by a hair. "Oh great, ANOTHER chi-user... Lyrae?" Uh-oh, 

mometary distraction!

>Lyrae opens the door, leaning out quickly, with Pikachu on her head as she 

looks towards Ryan o.o

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" 'o.o' leaning at an angle on Lyrae's head, yet not 

falling.

>Pikachu occly giggles.  THat just seems like such an ammusing scene. n.n

>Lyrae (OOC) Nodnods :D

>Yamazaki steps forward hard, his arm hanging infront of him and swaying. 

"Ikuzo...? SHYAAAAAH!" His arm whips out like a cobra, the air rending as the 

arm slashes wildly at Ryan.

>Lyrae's lime eyes widen, "Na..?" she whispers softly.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." hopping back and hanging onto the back of Lyrae's head, 

peeking over it. 'o.o'

>Lyrae glances up at her hat, then back towards the fight, drawing in a breath.

>Ryan blinks, caught off-guard! Luckily, he still had a grip on the knife 

hand... but he's still slammed by the punch, and HARD, sailing out into the 

hall, against the wall with a *WHAM*. Yes, you managed to loosen his grip a 

tad. Ryan, however, isn't one to be felled that easily... even though you 

probably broke a rib or three, he staggers back to his feet. Wiping a trickle 

of blood from his lip, "... I don't know who the fuck you are, but I am NOT 

happy."

>Lyrae WINCES at the punch, and shakes her head, "STOP!!"

>Yamazaki steps to the side and rams his head into the wall three times sending 

bits of drywall to the floor then walks towards Ryan, his expression serious 

and locked on the hunt.

>Lyrae quietly says, "STOP! Whoever you just don't hurt him anymore! Please!!!"

>Yamazaki hisses. "Too late little girl....he got in my way.."

>Pikachu hophops up on top of Lyrae's head

>Lyrae steps fully out of the apartment, frowning worriedly.

>Ryan dusts himself off a little bit... he's hurting, and BAD, but he's not 

about to show it. He ducks, and dashes forward, faster then any olympic athlete 

(even wounded!), coming up with three quick open-palm thrusts to Yamazaki's 

torso, all in under a second.

>Pikachu glares at Yamazaki.

>Lyrae . o O ( They're both insane! )

>Ryan isn't insane... he just doesn't think this guy will stop just because you 

told him to

>Well you were right.. but still.

>Yamazaki winces as he is struck in the side, each hit causing his eyes to open 

wider. He falls back and laughs with strained breath. " 

Heh..heh...heeeeeeeh.....you...hurt me." He clentches his fist and shoots a 

high roundhouse aimed at Ryan's head.

>Lyrae quietly says, "I'll go with you if you leave him alone! o O ( My god he's 

going to kill him .. )"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi pika-chu!" just wanting people to stop

>Ryan is paying attention now, Yamazaki. And Ryan's in the house, oh yes. 

Another NARROW dodge, a fall back... either his injuries are slowing him down, 

or he's mocking you. Another burst of quick jabs towards his midsection while 

Ryan comments, "No fighting indoors, young man!"

>If Ryan survived Harken, he can take THIS punk down   @.n

>We can hope ^_^ *praypray* n.n

>Yamazaki see's this coming and swings his arm up to block, one hit sneaks in 

but the others are batted away. "Kono zako ga!" (worthless scum)  He shoots his 

leg out to kick at Ryan then pulls his arm back, coils and releases shooting 

the arm directly at him. "AHHHHH!"

>Yamazaki . o O ( Go down..the girl is mine!!! )

>Lyrae grimaces. This fight is -not- pretty (tm). She exchanges a look up at 

Pikachu 9.9

>Pikachu'6.6'

>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..."

>Ryan smirks... about time he tried something something like that. Now to show 

this guy WHY Ryan is da bomb. He raises his raght hand - amost faster then the 

eye can follow! - and moves his palm to intercept Yamazaki's punch... and does 

so, his fist slamming ineffectually into his open palm! Ryan didn't even 

FLINCH!  @.o

>Lyrae scritches Pikachu's back. o O ( ..but how did he =find= me.. ) -.- o O ( 

Oh who am I kidding. Bad guys never have trouble finding me. I must give of a 

radar or someth- ) O.O;

>Yamazaki growls..."Come on...hit me...."

>Ryan . o O ( I HATE it when amateurs run around fronting like they're all 

that... Feh. Might've let him off easy if he hadn't been mean to Lyrae. )

>Ryan smirks. "If you insist." Draws back his left hand, punches forward, 

knuckles first, for Yamazaki's face, all in under a second.

>Lyrae iiinches her way back towards the door o O ( o.o I knew Ryan was good 

but.. even wounded? I'm -really- impressed now o.o; But he's *GOT* to be 

hurting.. )

>Yamazaki's head reels back along with the rest of him..he lands hard and 

doesn't move. *THUMP!*

>Ryan hmmphs. "About Goddamn time." He looks over, to make SURE this guy's 

unconscious...

>Yamazaki just lies there....

>Ryan proceeds to wince and whimper then. "Owowowowowowowow"   @_;

>Lyrae quietly says, ".... o.o" She looks at Yamazaki, then at Ryan, moving over 

to him quckly, "Ryan! Jeez"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi pika!" looking at Ryan with concern. 'o.o'

>Some of Ryan's bandages are bleeding through, now... that had to hurt

>Lyrae quietly says, "C'mon we'll call the cops on the guy .. I think you're 

ready for the hospital by now! o.o" she hisses out a soft breath at the blood, 

"For the love of God.."

>Yamazaki's eyes open slowly, he sits up moving his hand over his mouth..when he 

lowers it there is a small pool of blood in his palm. 

"...ow...bloo...blood....."

>Ryan curses, immediately steeling himself again. Talk about an ego. "Cripes, he 

ain't done YET!?"

>Lyrae quietly says, "Ryan *Enough* as hurt as you are --"

>Ryan isn't NOWHERE hurt enough! Ha!

>Lyrae (OOC) LOL

>Lyrae tries pulling Ryan back, "You could be bleeding internally.. not to 

mention externally!"

>Ryan says, "It's only a flesh wound..."

>Lyrae, despite herself, giggles, "Yeah right."

>Pikachu looks at Kamakaz--Yamazaki from atop Lyrae's head.

>Lyrae (OOC) grins

>Yamazaki's eyes stay locked on the blood in his palm, his breathing quickens as 

his pupils dialate, his face turns red and his heart beat quickens. 

"..blood......" Slowly he turns to the others as he rises, shoulders heaving as 

he laughs maniacaly. "..heh......heh.....ggg...ggg..GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" 

This is where he snaps, he grabs his blade and begins to slash at everything 

and anything. Large cuts form in the walls as he slowly walks forward.

>Lyrae resumes pulling Ryan towards his apartment, "Good *GOD*!" She moves 

faster o.o

>Lyrae . o O ( He's crazier than I thought!!! )

>Yamazaki proceeds to slash madly in wide archs, not careing what is in his way. 

"GYAAH GYAAAAH WEEHEEEHEEEEE!"

My Picassso!!!

>Pikachu hops off of Lyrae's head, landing on the floor, facing Yamazaki

>Ryan has had just about ENOUGH out of this loser. "Lyrae, GET DOWN!" Regardless 

of whether she does or not, he takes a step forward, drawing both his arms 

back, inhaling, focusing... suddenly throwing them forward, faster then the eye 

can follow... indeed, apparently breaking the sound barrier, causing quite a 

racket. Yamazaki has more to worry about, though, most notably the pressure 

wave that's sailing towards him.

>Lyrae erks as she lets go of Ryan's arm, immediately ducking. She doesn't need 

to be told twice..

>Pikachu pikas!! right in the path of the pressure wave! 'O.O'  It turns and 

runs towards Yamazaki, trying to save its own hide!

>Lyrae eeps, "Pikachu!"

>Gan steps out of the elevator.

>Gan arrives, with Faris following behind. 

>Ryan (OOC) It's more two dimensional... Pikachu's PROBABLY safe, seeing as how 

he's, what, a foot high?

>Pikachu stops before reaching the nutty one and ducks, curling into a yellow 

ball with a tail poking out of it.

>Lyrae (OOC) waves to the two. Welcome to the Obelisk Rumble n.n

>Faris (OOC) ooohs. c_c;

>Yamazaki stops slashing long enough to see this coming..he swings his arm up as 

a faint trail of crimson follows behind it..the wave cracks around his arm and 

then flows into his fist. Ryuji clutches his chest under the strain and falls 

to one knee. "Nrrrn..." He punches the floor releasing the energy, the sonic 

wave echo's in the hallway.

>Lyrae (OOC) grins

>Yamazaki . o O ( Ok now..that DID hurt... )

>Ryan winces, quite visibly, as blood spurts from the wound on his back! 

"Damn... you aren't... down YET!?"

>Gan (OOC) wonders whether to spectate or what. O.o

>Pikachu rollrollrollrolls like a marble back towards Lyrae and Ryan.

>Lyrae erks. o O ( I'm amazed *RYAN* isn't down o.o )

>Ryan can't go down! He has an image to protect!

>Faris wasn't expecting any of this. Really, she wasn't! Just a rest. Some 

sleep. You know. SLEEEEPPP. That thing you do in your apartment when there 

aren't tis many people trying to kill one another in front of it.

*ping*  Faris and Gan pop out of the elevator into... a fight?

>Welcome to the Heartbreak hotel....and everything else for that matter!

>Bingo. Yamazaki is frontin' around like he's all that, slashing around with 

this big steak knife, and Ryan's beatin' some sense into his thick head

>Pikachu bumps into Lyrae's foot, where it unrolls from its ball, looking dizzy 

laying on its back '@.@'

>Gan nudges Faris. "Oi... our room's at the far end of the hall.  -.-;;;"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi...ka....."

>Faris sighs at Gan. "I know. I know." She looks up at the people, squinting to 

see... o _great_. Him again. She laces her fingers together again. "Didn't you 

learn the first time?"

>Pikachu stands up, wobbiling. '@.@'

>Ryan points at Yamazaki in a dramatic pose! "Now then... about ready to give 

up? I dunno why you're after Lyrae, but I'm not about to letcha succeed!"

>Gan asks, "Hey. Things seem to be in hand. Think we can get past them to our 

door?"

>Lyrae reaches out and scoops Pikachu up.

>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..." '@.@'

>Faris glances at Gan. "The room isn't soundproofed, you know." She glances at 

the man again, narrowing her eyes and sighing.

>Yamazaki gets to his feet and looks around, he shakes his head and lowers his 

hand dropping the knife to the floor.

>Ryan holds his pose... not about to be overcome by just a little pain! Nope!

>Gan says, "Yeah... I know.  I don't know if we should get involved in this--it 

isn't our fight, Faris."

>Pikachu shakeshakes its head

>Lyrae stares at Ryan o.o;

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." holding its head. 'o.o'

>Ryan says to Lyrae, even though he keeps his eyes on the man, "Call the police."

>Lyrae blinks, then blinks again and scrambles to her feet, keeping Pikachu in 

her arms as she runs into Ryan's apartment to do so o O ( Unbelievable.. )

>Faris raises her eyebrows at Gan. "I made it my fight when I stopped this guy 

the first time." She shakes her head, then looks at Ryan. "besides, do you 

really think he can take another hit?"

>Pikachu sits up in Lyrae's arms 'o.o'

>Gan mphs.. "Maybe not..."

>Ryan says, tension in his voice, "I'd rather not find out."

>Gan smiles and steps forward, past Yamazaki, brushing past him really, towards 

Ryan. "Well, don't force it.."

>Derek steps out of the elevator.

>Faris grins slightly at Ryan, then gives a nod, looking to the man. She isn't 

moving yet, although her concentration is going to stay right on that big 

fellow.

>Lyrae is in Ryan's apartment, dialing the police. With Pikachu on her shoulder.

>Yamazaki watches everyone silently.

>Ryan stands in the hall, tensed up, blood trickling from several of his old 

wounds...

>Yamazaki . o O ( Dammit she got away... )

>Gan turns to Yamazaki, maybe five feet from him. "So... why dont'cha just run 

along, buddy?  There doesn't need to be any trouble here."

>Yamazaki . o O ( How much of that kids attack do I still have stored in me...? )

>Thanks to Super-Ryan o.o

>Ryan takes a step forward. "Now then... why are you after Lyrae? You tried to 

capture her before...!"   . o O ( DAMN this hurts... )

>Pikachu patpats Lyrae's arm

>Derek steps out of the elevator, looking down at a small handheld device . o O 

( This must be it. ) He looks down the hall, his face covered with bandages at 

the moment..

>Ryan (OOC) hands Derek his membership card. "Welcome to the club."   n.n

>Lyrae looks up at Pikachu and smiles shakily, before her voice is then heard 

faintly, speaking with the police.

>Pikachu'o.o'

>Derek (OOC) grins, "Yeah, whatever.."

>Derek sets the device down, yelling to someone he knows, "Ryan!"

>Yamazaki nods and turns away, then holds out his hands..they both begin to 

pulsate with a red aura. "Ok kid..good fight..you have guts...heres your little 

power back." He turns, and faces everyone, laughs and then swings his arms out 

letting out a quick but loud sonic boom to deafen and hopefully confuse 

everyone long enough as he races to the elevator.

>Ryan hears Derek, but he doesn't reply... he's keeping BOTH eyes on Yamazaki... 

and- erk! Ryan lurches back, unprepared for THAT!

>Yamazaki (OOC) is heading to bed for now. Gonna see what everyone poses next 

before I go. :)

>Lyrae (OOC) HUGS Ryuchan, "Oyasumi! *.*"

>Derek stays put..right by the elevator. He winces at the boom, but stays in 

place.

>Faris jerks back and staggers, wincing harshly as her hands set to her ears to 

try and dull the noise. Stagger stagger.

>Derek (OOC) ;_; Where's his hug?

>Lyrae looks up sharply at the sound of the boom.

>Yamazaki (OOC) hugs Lyrae!

>Lyrae (OOC) hands Pikachu to Derek =)

>Yamazaki (OOC) bearhugs Derek. CRUNCH

>Lyrae (OOC) n.n

>Ryan (OOC) oh-yeahs. I win AGAIN. I'm too cool.   @_*

>Gan being probably closest to the noise, turns away, wincing, stumbling a few 

steps.

>Ryuji_Yamazaki has left.

>Gan watches the big man leave silently, then walks over to Faris. "... you 

okay?"

>Ryan wobbles on his feet... right before falling to the floor, unconscious and 

bleeding.

>Faris rubs her ears. "I _told_ you, I can deal with this sort of thing." Ears 

ringing. Oi. oi. Ringing isn't fun. "I better check that Ryan character out."

>Derek hurries down the hall, "Geez, Ryan, you're such an idiot.." -_-

>Lyrae ducks out of Ryan's apartment, and pales.. wait..she's already pale. She 

goes beyond pale at Ryan's condition. o O ( .. I knew it. I knew it I knew It I 

KNEW I shouldn't have involved th--Derek's back. )

>Ryan (OOC) sweatdrops

>Gan smirks a little unstably, "Maybe we both should."  Knowing that Faris 

probably won't like it, he still slips under one of her arms, and uses her as a 

prop as much as he tries to be a prop for her, walking towards the fallen man.

>Ryan would give you SUCH a snappy comeback. If he were conscious.

>Derek looks over as the door opens, face bandaged up nicely, "Lyrae.." o o

>Lyrae (OOC) n.n

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" still riding on Lyrae's shoulder like a good little 

Pokemon.

>Derek adds, "What is that on your shoulder?" O o

>Faris glares at gan and pulls her arms from around his neck. "Oh give me a 

break, Gan! Just watch, and I'll show you. Believe me, I've handled far worse." 

*hmmmph* She continues to make her way over to Ryan. "Here. Here. Let me help 

out."

>Pikachu pikas, "Pikachu." introducing itself.  Obviously. 'n.n'

>Ryan is BLEEDING ON THE FLOOR, and you're worried about the POKEMON!?

>Pikachu is cuter!  This proves it!

>Gan (OOC) LAUGHS! :)

>Derek looks at Faris as she approaches, "You know healing magic?"

>Gan smirks at Faris, calling at her back, "... you need anything, Faris?" as he 

makes his way along.

>Ryan, being unconscious, doesn't give any reply. That looks painful.

>Derek . o O ( Idiot...argh, and these stupid things're starting to itch like 

crazy... )

>Derek reaches up and scratches at his cheek - -

>Gan takes a deep breath, leaning on the wall behind Faris as he rests. "Be 

ready... for what?"

>Faris shakes her head. "I can handle it. Just get ready, just in case." Hey. 

She's willing to admit it. "Give me a little room?" She glances at Derek. 

"....eesh. You too?"

>Ryan is NOT an idiot! He's just stupid enough to hang around Lyrae 'wierdness 

magnet' Sensou

>;.;

>Gan nods to Faris, then, after a moment, reaches back, grasping the handle of 

his blade, unlimbering it and laying it against his chest.

>Faris closes her eyes, chanting to herself for a short bit. She then points her 

hands towards Ryan and chants the words, "Shiromahou SanbanCure!" Massive 

healing energy swells around the rather broken form of Ryan.

>Faris whispers, "Cure3. :) You look... well... bad." to you.

>You whisper, "Ryan IS... well... bad.   n.n" to Faris.

>Faris whispers, "....not anymore. If the spell works. ;)" to you.

>Ryan suddenly sits up. "I'm not dead yet!"   O_O   Hmm, black eye is healed too.

>Derek stands up and moves over by Lyrae, "....."

>Lyrae watches Ryan for a second, then sighs and closes her eyes.

>Faris steps back with a half-stagger, wincing. Ow. Ow. Oh yeah. Should probably 

worry about her _own_ problem, shouldn't she?

>Derek (OOC) beans Ryan too, "Hey, she's a CUTE wierdness magnet!" -_-

>Pikachu pikas, hanging onto the back of Lyrae's head, watching the ongoings.

>Derek looks at Pikachu with a half-puzzled stare . o O ( A yellow mouse? )

>Gan touches the flat of his blade to Faris's back, whispering a few soft 

words... healing energy, similar to Faris's--but different, and not as 

strong--suffuses through her, in turn.

>Lyrae blinks, and moves Pikachu to her shoulder, wincing briefly. Wounded hand 

was /not/ meant to close just yet. Ow. She shrugs it off.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" looking at Lyrae 'o.o'

>Lyrae watches healing magic being tossed around, then looks at Pikachu, shaking 

her head.

>Derek crosses his arms and leans against the wall quietly - -

>Ryan rubs his shoulder. He's still a bit stiff, but not HURTING. "..." He looks 

up at Faris, commenting, "Oh, it's you again."

>Lyrae . o O ( That's a fine way to great someone who just healed you -.o; )

>Gee. Guess that's thanks for you. "Yeah, that's right. Anyhow, you done with 

that fight now?" Faris looks over at the others, seeing if anyone else needs a 

dose, while she's in a ealling mood.

>Gan coughs a little and looks at Ryan. "You should have more respect."

>Ryan stands up. "I damn well hope so." To Gan, "What!?"

>Lyrae just has a damaged hand, compared to the mummy man.

>Pikachu isn't hurt! 'n.n'

>Gan smirks, "You should have more respect for someone who just saved your 

life." He indicates Faris, then slips his sword back into its holder along his 

back.

>Ryan pulls off a few bandages now, seeing as how the big wounds, like the one 

on his back, are now healed. Finally. "Oh, yeah, um, thanks and stuff."

>Derek looks over, his face bandaged up almost completely, then glances back at 

>the ground

>Lyrae . o O ( Male pride 9.9 )

>No, just RYAN pride

>Yeah, 3999x more than normal male pride :)

>Derek . o O ( Stupid bandages...don't even see why I need them... )

>Pikachu nods, seemingly reading Lyrae's mind, "Pika..."

>Gan snorts a little, then pushes off the wall, "Faris--I'll be in the 

apartment."  And off he goes.

>Gan stops leading Faris.

>Faris mmhmms at Ryan. "Sure." She turns and looks over at Derek. "You looking 

to keep a scar? Or are you going to want some healing, too?"

>Gan has left.

>Lyrae looks up at Pikachu, then grins wryly.

>Pikachu'n.n'

>Ryan blinks, finally noticing Derek. "Woah, what happened to your face, dude?"

>Derek blinks and sighs. He reaches up and starts pulling away the bandages, 

"Someone already tried, lady...and it didn't work..."

>l derek



Derek



A young man, who appears to be in his early 20s in terms of age. Standing at 

about 5'9", he seems to be fairly average at first glance, until you take a 

better look at him and realize he certainly doesn't look much like the average 

guy on the street. His hair consists of an often wild crown of dark brown 

locks, most of which has been pulled back to the base of his neck and secured 

by a thong of blue leather into a ponytail that reaches halfway down his back. 

Quite a bit of it falls over his forehead in the front unless he rakes it back, 

occasionally resting by his dark blue eyes, which are flecked with flashes of 

silver, almost like lightning in a thundercloud. His lightly tanned skin seems 

to be devoid of any facial hair, and he has two scars that give him a touch of 

rougish handsomeness. One is slightly above his left eye, long since healed 

over, but the other is somewhat hard to miss. It starts about an inch above his 

eyebrow and runs downward to his right eye, almost like an axis, and stops a 

little below his cheekbone. A little flash of metal draws your attention to the 

simple silver loop he has piercing his left earlobe. With this onset of some 

cooler weather, he's wearing an outfit that looks like it would keep him 

warmer, although he doesn't seem to be the type that would let a little chill 

bother him much. Covering his youthfully muscled chest is a well-worn tunic 

made from a dark gray material. It buttons down the front, although the topmost 

two are undone, exposing the juncture of his neck and shoulders. Worn over this 

is a black jacket, perhaps made of denim, although it looks more sturdy. He 

wears it open at the moment, the front having two chest pockets and two lower 

pockets for his hands. His shirt is tucked into a pair of loose-fitting dark 

blue pants, the drawstring at his waist pulled tight and knotted. The cuffs of 

his pants are tucked into a pair of black leather boots that come almost to 

mid-shin, the laces tied securely.

Carrying:

Rune Brand, and Midgaard City Map


>Faris rubs her hands together. "Well, I can give it my best." She eyes the 

wound with a squint. "What happened, anyway?"

>Derek pulls away the bandages. His ponytail falls down his back and he rakes 

his hair back, "Someone got lucky on me..." (OOC: maybe look at him?)

>Derek frowns, "Someone already tried healing it and it didn't work, okay?" -_-

>Lyrae quietly says, "...."

>Faris rubs her hansd, deciding that for something like this, something slightly 

less should do. "Shiromahou Cure." It's a smaller cure spell than the other one.

>Ryan (OOC) Dammit, he's scarred now! I don't have a prayer!   ;_;

>Lyrae asks gently, "(OOC) Huh?"

>Ryan (OOC) says, in full pig mode, "Chicks dig scars."   =_=

>Faris (OOC) laughs!

>Derek looks over at Lyrae a moment before bundling up the bandages. He blinks 

as the spell is cast...which strangely enough doesn't have any effect. "I told 

you...someone already tried. The weapon wasn't some little knife..."

>Lyrae (OOC) doesn't >.< and whaddayamean chick?

>Faris frowns. "Well, I can see that. But usually, the weapon doesn't make a 

difference." Pause. "...usually."

>Derek says, "It did this time. He used an illusion to distract me and I fell 

for it. I'm lucky I can still see..."

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika..." patpating Lyrae's head.

>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "So, like, where've you been? And when'd you 

get hurt?"

>Another wry grin emerges at the head pat, as Lyrae glances up at it.

>Faris shakes her head and turns for the apartment. "Well, I did what I could." 

She brushes her hair back to nod a farewell to Ryan. . o O (Oy. I think I'm 

going to sleep a _week_...)

>Ryan nods back to Faris. "... Thanks."

>Faris has left.

>Pikachu smiles back to Lyrae. 'n.n'

>Derek looks at Ryan, "Where? Some strange land, Belldandy took me there. I was 

training."

>Ryan frowns. "Sheesh, some training... usually your instructors don't try to 

kill ya."

>Lyrae quietly says, "...."

>Derek says, "It wasn't my instructor. There were other beings there too..."

>Derek reaches up and idly fingers his earring, "Anyway, judging by the fact 

you're still alive..either you haven't fought Harken yet or you won..."

>Ryan smirks. "Yeah, I won. Cloud's hurt, but he's safe now, at least."

>Ryan blinks at the 'other beings' comment, but doesn't ask.

>Derek nods, "Good for you both."

>Pikachu hugs Lyrae.  Well, sort of.  It kinda puts its arms on her head.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pikachu.."

>Derek looks over at Lyrae and the...yellow mouse, "Lyrae.." . o O ( Argh..mind 

freeze.. )

>Lyrae looks up at Pikachu 9.9 and patscritches it lightly.

>Ryan pats Derek on the back, flashing a grin *teeth glint*  "Walk up and say 

'hi', doofus!" He shoves Derek, hopefully towards Lyrae.

>Lyrae quietly says, "....."

>Ryan, in the deep inner workings of his mind (be afraid!),  . o O ( But... why 

was that guy gunning for Lyrae? )

>Derek gets shoved, not really paying attention. He stops a foot shy of bumping 

into her, "Uhm..I'm glad to see you're safe.."

>Ryan snaps his fingers   =_=

>Lyrae smiles wryly and transfers Pokemon from head to her shoulder, her right 

hand twitching from overuse. "I was lucky."

>Pikachu was still on the shoulder n.n

>Lyrae transfers it to her opposite shoulder then =)

>Pikachu doesn't like THAT shoulder!

>Derek sweatdrops . o O ( I'll get you later, Ryan.. ) He blinks, "Well, safe is 

safe, right?"

>Derek . o O ( Dammit, I go over what to say in my mind a hundred times and I 

can't remember ANY of it! )

>Lyrae moves it back. Picky picky. However she gives up using her right hand, 

using her left instead, "Right."

>Pickypickypikapika

>Ryan knows you will. He doesn't care. Damn kids, you SO do not hide it well, 

y'know?

>n.n

>*bip*

>;.;

>n.n V

>Ryan sighs. "Well, at least MY apartment got away unscathed."

>Lyrae quietly says, "....."

>Derek looks down, noticing the wrap on Lyrae's hand, "Hey, you hurt yourself..?"

>Lyrae replies shortly, "Yeah. It's nothing."

>Ryan blinks. "Just like mine were nothing."

>Derek reaches down for the hand, "Lemme take a look at it. Maybe that lady 

shoulda cast that spell on you instead of me.."

>Ryan rubs the back of his neck   . o O ( Great, now they'll go fawn over each 

other now, leaving poor Ryan standing here. )

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!!!" at Derek

?Lyrae looks at Ryan, and unties the sash, raising the stiff and temporarily 

useless hand, palm outwards, to show the deep gash across her palm. "Compared 

to your injuries, Ryan, this is a flesh wound." She doesnt let Derek touch it, 

she simply pulls her hand away, "And I don't want any spells cast on it."

>Derek says, "(OOC) Go nurse your ego back to health, Ryan, I think it's still 

injured."

>Ryan (OOC) It took a critical hit!   ;_;

>Lyrae (OOC) hugs ^^;

>Ryan blinks, looking over at Lyrae. He says the obvious conclusion, "You're 

hiding something, Lyrae, aincha?"

>Lyrae looks at Ryan, obvious puzzlement showing in her eyes now. "Hiding? No." 

She raises an eyebrow just slightly, wondering what the heck Ryan's talking 

about, before she starts retying the hand.

>Derek gives Ryan a sidelong glance before he looks back at Lyrae, "So you're 

just letting it heal normally then? Why not use a cure spell so it doesn't 

leave a scar?" He points to his face, "I couldn't do anything about this, but 

your hand.."

>Lyrae quietly says, "It won't scar."

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!!" yelling at Derek

>Pikachu wavewaves a finger at Derek, "Pi pika pikachu pika!"

>Derek looks at Pikachu, one eyebrow arched, "Uhm...yeah, right." O_o

>Pikachu crosses its arms, "Pika!"

>Lyrae looks at Pikachu giving Derek a right sharp dressing down, and 

sweatdrops. "He's just concerned. Same as you were yesterday Pikachu. Or have 

we forgotten?"

>Ryan hmms. "The real question is... how did you get injured? Was it that freak 

from before?"

>Lyrae shakes her head at Ryan, "No."

>Pikachu looks down, sweatdropping.

>Lyrae pokes Pikachu playfully, "Thought so."

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pikachu."

>Lyrae blinks, "What?"

>Derek asks, "When did you get the new pet, Lyrae?"

>Derek asks, "Or are you just minding it?"

>Lyrae nods at Pikachu, answering, "I do. And I will. What makes you think I 

don't?"

>Ryan asks, "Simple question. How'd you get hurt?"

>Lyrae looks at Derek, "Pikachu's my friend, not a pet. And he..sh..It minds 

itself really. I met Pikachu at the bar."

>Pikachu nods to Derek, "Pika."

>Lyrae replies to Ryan simply, "I cut my hand open on glass yesterday."

>Derek says, "Right, pika..."

>Derek 9_9

>Ryan nods. "Ah. Might want to make sure the wound is clean then."    . o O ( 

WHY do I not believe her?   9.9 )

>Pikachu pikas, "Pi!" as Derek says something derogatory to the little Pokemon.  

It looks away. '-.-'

>Lyrae asks gently, "It is.. mostly." she blinks, "What did he say, Pikachu?"

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika." '-.-'

>Lyrae quietly says, "....." She sweatdrops, "Oh he didn't mean that, honest!"

>Pikachu pikas, "Chu?" 'o.-'

>Lyrae quietly says, "Really."

>Derek nods, "Yeah, cause I have no idea what I actually said.." o_o;

>Lyrae reaches her hand up and covers Pikachu's ears, "Pikachu says you said 

that it was short."

>Ryan will NOT comment, no matter HOW tempting it is    -_-

>Lyrae (OOC) grins

>Derek sweatdrops and rubs the back of his neck . o O ( Isn't it? ) He grins, 

"Eh heh, I didn't mean that at all! Really!" ^_^;

>Pikachu smiles "Pikachu." 'n.n'

>Lyrae glances at Ryan briefly, getting the feeling he doesn't buy the fact that 

she slashed her palm open on the glass.. even when she's telling the truth that 

time. 9.9;

>Ryan says, "Hey, since I'm actually feeling kinda good now  . o O ( If a bit 

tired )  I'm heading back to the bar. Maybe the crowd's thinned a bit."

>Ryan (OOC) smirks. Well, you DO have a history, Lyrae   9.9

>Lyrae hrns.. "Okay."

>Lyrae (OOC) grins, "Hush you." =)

>Derek nods, "That works. I have to take something back to a guy there myself.."

>Ryan points towards his apartment. "Help yourself to some munchies."

>Lyrae looks at Pikachu, "Do you want me to drop you off home?"

>Lyrae shakes her head at Ryan, "That's okay."

>Ryan (OOC) "I'm not going to get into trouble!" *gets captured by Es*   "I'll 

be back in a bit!" *gets brainwashed*

>Lyrae (OOC) sticks out her tongue. "You're missing one. "I'm going out 

shopping!" *gets kidnapped by Ryuji* =)"

>Ryan (OOC) did miss that one    o_-

>Derek walks down the hallway to pick up a small electronic device. Looks a 

little like a palmtop computer.

>Lyrae (OOC) *giggles*

>Derek (OOC) sighs, is it any wonder he's stressed out? One of his dear lady 

friends is a hopeless victim u_u;

>Lyrae (OOC) :P

>Pikachu shrugs to Lyrae, "Pika-chu."

>Ryan walks towards the elevator. "You two coming?"

>Lyrae glances at Pikachu, "Well it's late."

>Derek nods, "Yeah, I'm coming. Have to give this back.."

>Lyrae nods at Ryan, "I'll drop Pikachu off at its home first.. then I'll head 

home myself. It's late."

>Pikachu yawns

stays open

Obelisk Apartments: Elevator



o/~ *Elevator music plays...* o/~

Welcome to the crowded impersonal world of the elevator.  Here you can easily 

(most of the time) get to the floor you wish to go to, without the strenuous 

climbing of step after step otherwise.  Just look at the 'panel' beside the 

buttons to find out where you can go, and press the candy-like control to get 

taken there in (dis)comfort.  Now if only that guy would remove his elbow from 

your spleen.

Obelisk Apartments: Ground Floor



To the west, facing the street, there is a wide entrance area with a double set 

of revolving doors, both appropriate for entry or egress.  However, where you 

currently stand is more elevated.  A set of steps leading from that spacious 

hall unto this one, with cargo and service ramps running on either side of 

that.  Centered directly to the east is a very large reception desk, with 

several clerks waiting to serve residents, or prospective customers.  To the 

south, the wall is marred by the oaken door to the manager's office, while to 

either side of the desks are two elevators, and for the more physically adept, 

a stairwell.

Tyr Road [200](#228RL)



The 200 block of Tyr Road is almost exclusively fancy hotels and high-rise 

apartment buildings.  Available in a wide range of designs, from the mundane 

box-shape, to more architecturally enthralling towers such as 'The Obelisk'.  

Housing this close to the middle of everything isn't cheap, but it isn't as 

expensive as owning your own home farther out to the east, either.  The area is 

also clean..and a few commercial buildings are scattered about..though they're 

rather limited.

Intersection: Thor/Tyr



This intersection is relatively nice, if not for the lingering darkness to the 

west on Thor Street.  Luckily, all the streetlamps here are replaced 

regularly..any graffiti is cleaned up almost immediately..and a neighbourhood 

police patrol keeps an eye out for any shifty and suspicious types wandering 

about.  To the east, Thor Boulevard is a much more lively and light 

place..housing many people in small housing complexes, and a few larger, 

upper-middle class homes.  To the South, Tyr Road continues in that direction, 

with a mixture of hotels and apartment buildings.  To the north, it seems to 

disperse at an obscure point..though a few eateries catering to myriad tastes 

can be seen.

You depart to the north.





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.

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.

>Yuffie pouts.  "Mou!  Are ya hiding something from me?"

>Ryan walks in. Surprisingly, he's only 10% bandaged now. And no black eye! "Hey 

hey!"

>Fei blinks, and looks over towards that 'blast', though he remains quiet about 

it.  He then blinks at Tifa, and hrms, "Well..  I don't really understand 

these... uh, names for the foods.  Uhm... Do you have anything cheap, and good? 

 I don't know how much money I have left...."

>Ryan blinks, holding up a palmtop. "Hey, there a 'Lev' here?"

>Fei . o O ( I spent most of my money on upgrading my gear before Bart... sent 

us here by 'mistake'. *sigh*  He REALLY should listen to Sig one of these 

days.... )

>Tifa waves to Ryan, then glances at Fei. "Ah, not a problem!"  She beams, then 

hurries out to the kitchen.

>Ryan watches Tifa for a minute, suddenly getting a hankering for Jello for some 

reason. He looks around, wondering if the owner of the device will show up.

>Kim yawns

>Yuffie sighs, then thumps her fist against  the floor. ;_;  

"Meanies."

>Ryan blinks, jumping back   O_o

>Tifa skids to a stop and glares at Yuffie!! "My floor!!"

>Lev raises an arm. "One Lev Arris, boarding on ramp twelve departing for Janus 

IV at 0'20--err, yes that'd be me."

>Fei finally sits down, as he sweatdrops slightly. . o O ( I wonder what I 

ordered. o.o )

>Ryan walks over to Lev. "Hey, Derek told me to give this back to ya." He tosses 

him the palmtop.

>Yuffie blinks, looking at the hole... then eeps!  "G-gomen!" ^^;  She looks at 

Tifa, rubbing the back of her head, sheepishly.

>Kim says, "Yuffie... -.-;"

>Ryan . o O ( I am NOT asking. That chick is just TOO wierd   -.- )

>Lev bows his head in thanks...catching it around his neck. Not -too- beaten up 

to have his 'flair'. ^_^;

>Tifa hangs her head ;_; "My baaaar...."

>Ryan has more 'flair' then you EVER will, boyo. Looking over to Tifa, "Hey, I 

can front a little cash to fix it, or something. No biggie, assuming girl 

Godzillia here doesn't break anything else."

>Fei blinks slightly, and looks over towards Yuffie...the hole...Tifa..Then the 

hole again.. "....."

>Kim stands up

>Yuffie gets up along with Kim. o.o

>Kim says, "I'm going to bed." rubbing her head -.-

>Ryan sweatdrops. "A-B-see ya"

>Tifa says, "It's okay, I'll fix it when I fix the table and the wall ^^;"

>Yuffie nods.  "I'll come too then." ^_^  She giggles slightly, then reaches up 

to scratch her nose.

>Fei. o O ( Actually, I wonder where I stepped into more like it.............. )

>Tifa goes to get Fei his food..  And to sniffle about her bar in the kitchen.

>Ryan sweatdrops    . o O ( Yuffie got a thing for Kim or something!?   O_o; )

>... the shinobi's fingers curl slightly as she scratches with the gloved hand...

>Lev (OOC) still topped you with the Lyrae-girlfriend charade. So BII-DAH. ^_^

>Lev (OOC) says, "Twice." n.n

>Yuffie is suddenly clutching onto Kim with her ungloved hand, screaming as the 

gloved hand remains clamped over the left side of her face.

>Tifa (OOC) laughs!!

>Ryan blinks.   . o O ( What's up NOW!? )

>Kim says, "Yuffie, open your hand! o.o;"

>Lev strolls out abruptly, before he gets involved again. x.x;

>Vell has left.

>Alex moves from his barseat, circling the new hole in the floor...

>Fei just....faces forward.  They are just figments of his imagination, yes yes. 

 Well, at least he probably wishes that...

>Yuffie slowly pulls away her hand, her breath coming out in shaky gasps, her 

entire body trembling.

>Kim o.o;

>Kim says, "You okay?"

>Ryan just... sweatdrops. He's NOT asking.

>Along the left side of Yuffie's face lays a long, diagonal burn, which bites 

deep into the flesh of her cheek and forehead, thankfully missing her eye.

>Ryan blinks. "Yuffie!?"

>Kim O.O

>Kim says, "Oh my god.."

>Yuffie doesn't look happy or cheerful anymore.  She's crying, obviously from 

the pain, bits of burnt flesh stuck to the metal of her gloved hand.  "..."

>Ryan boggles a moment. "...!?"

>This is the reason that you teach young shinobi how to *use* their new 

gadgets...

>Kim looks at Lev for help o.o

>Ryan asks, "What the...?"

>Tifa returns and O.O  "Eehh!  What happened?"  She hastily sets down Fei's 

plate.

>Alex moves to his knees beside the hole in the floor, taking a sip of his 

water...

>Lev is gone. x.x;

>Kim o.o;

>Kim looks back at Yuffie

>Kim says, "Shhh, shh...it's okay, Yuffie-chan."

>Tifa grabs a cold rag and hands it to Kim.. "Where's Cloud??  I know he's got a 

heal materia.."

>Yuffie refrains from touching the wound further, despite how much she wants to 

clamp her hand over it, to maybe ease the pain.  "..." Her face is pale from 

shock and pain, eyes beginning to unfocus.

>Fei just...continues to face forward for a moment, as he then looks to his 

plate.  He then looks at his food, as he tries to figure out... what this food 

is. o.o

>Kim nods to Tifa, taking the rag and gently dabbing part of Yuffie's face.

>Ryan rubs the back of his neck, stunned at how Yuffie gets into trouble. AGAIN.

>It's a nice steak meal..

>Yuffie winces as the rag touches her face, causing new tears of pain to well 

forth from her eyes.

>Derek has arrived.

>Ryan says, ".... Anyway... I'll... be going now. Try to get some burn cream or 

somethin, okay? There's got to be some around here somewhere."

>Kim lowers the rag, leaning forward and gently kissing the burnt side of 

Yuffie's face, whispering to her.

>Tifa looks around desperately for a heal materia o.o

>Alex steps over to the group. "Might I be of assistance?"

>Derek comes back in, frowning noticably, "Did Lyrae come by here?"

>Fei pokes at his food for a moment, and then sighs as he stands up..He can't 

take the cries of a person, really.  He then walks over, and looks at the two 

himself, "Is something wrong, here?  Is there any way I can help?"

>Ryan blinks as Derek comes in. "No, actually..."

>Kim asks, "Anyone know a cure spell?"

>Derek asks, "(OOC) Geez, Yuffster! What'd you do NOW?"

>Kim asks, "Or have some aspirin to ease the pain?"

>Fei nods slowly, "Well, I know a minor curing type spell, actually."

>Yuffie says, "(OOC) I was playing with the glove Vell gave me. =.= They didn't 

tell me that it fired an energy blade when you partiall curl your fingers, so 

Yuffie scratched her nose and... well, she has a big scar on the left side of 

her face now."

>Tifa asks, "Yes, that's why there's property damage.  Do you have any heal 

materia?"

>Yuffie says, "(OOC) Of course, they told Tifa. >.<"

>Alex reaches into his coat, and pulls out an odd contraption. He looks over at 

Fei, and nods, slipping it back into his pocket.

>Derek says, "(OOC) Hey, I'm the one who has the scars! >_o"

>Tifa (OOC) couldn't help it! o.o;

>Kim thinks Yuffie has more now

>Ryan steps outside. He's over his wierdness quotient for the day.

>Tifa looks ready to throttle Derek for an answer o.o

>Yuffie's good eye moves to look at Kim, pain showing, her other eye gummed over 

with congealing blood.  "..."

>Fei blinks. "Materia?  Whats materia?  Well...Anyways.. I can cure it with a 

small minor ether spell of mine, if you wish.. It doesn't hurt too much though, 

does it?"

>Kim smiles comfortingly to Yuffie as she continues to gently clean the girl's 

face
