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.

>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!" at Vincent 'n.n'
>Ryan steps in, less bandaged then usual. Hmm, musta got some healing magic. 
"Hey hey!"
>Pikachu covers its ears again at Uriel 'x.x'
>Uriel pries her face off the bar. @.@ o/~ Whereeever I may roooam! Wheere I lay 
my head is hooome! o/~ She spins around unsteadily on the barstool.
>Ryan just... sweatdrops. Okay, who's been giving the demons liquor?
>Nina-chan sweatbeads, and picks up Pikachu, she then turns to Uriel, O_O "Would 
you stop singing?!"
>( Cloud fed Uriel four Gargleblasters this afternoon. Blame HIM. )
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi-kaaaa....." 'x.x'
>Ye gods   O_o
>Ryan sweatdrops, looking around the room for someone he recognizes. Seeing as 
how he can't carry on a discussion with the yellow thing, he heads over to 
Vincent
>Vincent turns his attention to Ryan, stepping further into the bar now that 
Pikachu has been removed from around his foot area, "It is good to see that you 
are alive." he comments to the man that approaches him.
>Uriel subsides (thank God) to quiet snickering. "Where's the dead-man 
bartender?!" Okay, so she's not quiet. But at least she's not singing.
>( Derek carried on a conversation with it just fine, Ryan! )
>( So has almost everyone ELSE online. Weird. o.o; )
>Vincent is more or less managing to ignore what, to him, is just another 
drunk... well, species doesn't -really- matter to him. n.n;
>Pikachu uncovers its ears.
>Vincent has been mistaken for a Pokemon trainer. Top -that- c.c;
>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..." 'o.o'
>Uriel spots Pikachu, and holds out a hand toward it. "Hey, Chica... I mean, 
Picha...uhh... you. Little yellow dude. C'mon, hit me up with some a'that 
lightning...." @.*
>Nina-chan scritchies the Pikachu's headfure. n.n
>Oh, shaddup. As Ryan walks over to Vincent, he comments quietly, "... Do I want 
to know?
>l ur

Uriel

Your attention is drawn unwillingly to a young... lady... who has no 
intention of being overlooked. Or so you gather, from the bright 
streaks of purple, pink, and green in her tawny hair. If the parts of 
her that are covered have as many body piercings as the parts of her 
than are uncovered, then she probably sets off metal detectors for 
miles around. A battered black leather jacket spends its time either 
draped over her shoulder or worn over her hole-ridden Metallica T-
shirt, which has been hacked off high in the front so that she can 
display her navel ring. Fingerless biker gloves protect her hands, and 
she wears a pair of ragged blue jeans with the knees worn out, 
liberally covered with their very own graffiti in the form of pictures, 
runes, and four-letter words.
Carrying:

>Nina-chan o_O at Uriel.
>Pikachu leans back from Uriel, "Pika..." 'o.o'
>Nina-chan brings the Pikachu away from Uriel. n.n;
>Lets see how long it takes before Ryan hits on the punk, eh? What, 5-10 minutes?
>Uriel gives Nina a sour glance. "What the hell're *you* lookin' at?" Guess 
G-rating doesn't mean much to her. "C'mon, hand over the yellow fuzz."
>Pikachu grabs its cheeks and stretches its face insultingly at Uriel as it 
sticks its tounge out at her.
>Vincent mms, "Do you wish to know what?" with that, he glances once over toward 
Uriel, then back to  Ryan.
>Ryan looks over at Uriel, and Nina, and Pikachu. Hoo-boy. Another one of those 
nights in the bar, I guess. To Vincent, "... Never mind."
>Uriel is too drunk to be irritable. Well, currently. She instead grabs her 
cheeks and sticks her tongue (lookit that. Her tongue's pierced, too. But are 
we really surprised?) back at the Pokemon.
>Ryan would wonder what else that gal's got pierced, but he's a gentleman, 
y'know?
>Pikachu blinks
>Yeah, right. And that thing in the sky is Halley's comet.
>Pikachu pikagiggles! at Uriel's funny tounge! 'n.n'
>Nina-chan ^^;
>Ryan stage-whispers to Vinnie, "Hey, who served her drinks, anyway?"
>Vincent watches now. He shakes his head as he answers Ryan's question, "I am 
unsure. Perhaps Cloud or Tifa?" The only two that he really knows offhand that 
would work here.
>The same one who served the pikachu seltzer water.
>Ryan sweatdrops. "... Cloud's gonna be in trouble again, ain't he? Well, at 
least this one didn't kiss'm."
>Uriel dissolves into snickers, and chants in a singsong, "Yes I diiiiiiiid...."
>Ryan sweatdrops again. "BIG trouble."
>Uriel returns to making faces at the pokemon.
>Pikachu makes lots of different faces at Uriel.
>Nina-chan giggles.
>Pikachu giggles, having a ball. 'n.n'
>Ryan facepalms. Well, at least she seems harmless. If out of tune.
>Uriel does a fair job of returning the expressions. She raises her voice 
abruptly to demand, "Bartender? Bartender! Where's mister deadman-walking 
bartender?! I wannanother..."
>Nina-chan sighs, and sits down at a chair again.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikachu..." *giggle* 'n.n'
>Nina stops following Pikachu. 
>Ryan looks at Vincent. "... I'll handle this one." Vaulting over the bar (guess 
his injures are healed, mostly), he comes to land across from Uriel. "Sure, 
whatcha want?"   . o O ( Hell, I'll just give her some of that non-alcoholic 
crap... she's drunk enough not to notice. )
>Ryan doesn't actually work here mind you, but since when has a little thing 
like that stopped Ryan?
>Uriel grins a bit stupidly. "Whatever's the strongest $@!$ ya got. S'what I was 
havin' earlier. Where's the sexy blond?"
>Ryan sweatdrops. "He ran off to have his stomach pumped."
>Vincent follows in a more sedate fashion, though he doesn't go behind the bar.  
He positions himself at the counter, taking a seat on a stool and turning 
around enough so that he can watch Uriel.
>Pikachu hops out of Nina's arms, walking towards Uriel.
>Nina-chan keeps an eye on Pikachu. n.n;
>Uriel climbs back to the barstool's -top- part, which she vaguely remembers is 
traditionally sat upon. "Hell. Well... ... what'sh *your* name?"
>Ryan smirks. "Tabbot. Ryan Tabbot."   . o O ( No! Bad Ryan! Don't flirt with 
the drunks! )
>Uriel somehow finds that the funniest thing she's heard in a -long- time. 
"Never met anybody with the same firsht an' last names, b'fore." She notices 
>Pikachu headed in her direction, and asks it hopefully, "Ya change your mind?"
>Cloud has connected.
>Pikachu stops, smiling up at Uriel.
>Cloud says, "(OOC) Erk. o.o"
>Vincent (OOC) grins. n.n
>Pikachu makes a face at her. '@.@'
>Ryan (OOC) You are an idiot spikey, y'know that? I'm currently tending bar. And 
yes, I know I don't work here.
>Cloud says, "(OOC) What did I do? o.o"
>Uriel is getting more drinks! La!
>Uriel holds her arms out to Pikachu. "C'mon, ya fuzzy weirdo."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika?" walking towards Uriel. 'o.o';
>Ryan (OOC) Gave her drinks. At least, according to her. And she's not a 
reliable source
>Cloud says, "(OOC) No, but might as well make her think nice thoughts. u.u And 
it was either that or physically entertain her. x.x"
>Vincent (OOC) snickers. n.n
>Uriel (OOC) *.*
Vincent (OOC) nudges Uriel, points to Cloud, "Sic 'em." c.c
>Uriel reaches out to snatch up Pikachu.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika!!" getting grabbed suddenly, "CHU!!!"  *ZAPPING* Uriel and 
likely anyone too close to her with the size of that zap.
>Vincent says, "(OOC) What defines the size of the zap? n.n;"
>Ryan pours Uriel a (thankfully) non-alcoholic beer. "Here ya go."
>Pikachu oocly shrugs n.n  Wanna get zapped?  Pose it.
>Vincent (OOC) okays. n.n
>Vincent (OOC) wanted to make sure that, well, never mind. Hyperhyperhyperhyper. 
@_@
>Uriel releases Pikachu as she gets zapped. Desired reaction achieved.  She 
raises a hand to study the bluish streaks that criss-cross it for a few 
brilliant moments before they fade. *.* "Whooooah. Damn, that's cool."
>Ryan, being poor Ryan, gets a good zot himself. Luckily, he wasn't the target, 
so it isn't too bad. Oh, look, he ears are smoking! How cute!
>Cloud steps out of the kitchen, wiping his face off with a napkin.
>Pikachu pikas, "Chu!" 'o.o' running from Uriel.
>Pikachu leaps back into Nina's arms.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika..." 'o.o'
>Cloud pauses, seeing the Pikachu. "..." He slowly shakes his head. Not again.
>Ryan, once he regains his motor functions, shakily handing the drink over to 
the punk girl. As soon as his brain restarts he'll ask why she wasn't affected  
 @_o
>Vincent was -just- clear of the zap. Some stillness of his body defines the 
near miss however. Now, he frowns at Uriel. Yes, a reaction to an apparent 
mistreatment of small, cutesy tiny animals.
>Uriel grins from ear to ear, her multicolored hair standing up on end a bit, 
and snatches the beer merrily, starting in on it heartily. She is, indeed, too 
drunk to notice it's not alcoholic.
>Ryan exhales. Crisis A averted, at least.
>Cloud steps back to behind the bar. "... what's happening here, Ryan?"
>Nina-chan sweatbeads at the Pikachu in her arms. o.o;
>Ryan says, rather dryly, "Your guess is as good as mine. At least she isn't 
singing Karaoke now."
>Uriel tells Cloud irritably, "Can't ya see? I'm getting trashed. Now, either 
help or join in. Lighten up, dead boy."
>Uriel's lying, of course. She's not getting trashed. She IS trashed.
>Pikachu yawns and lays down on Nina's lap '-.-'
>Cloud says, "..." at Uriel, and shakes his head slowly. Hmmm. Maybe getting her 
drunk for information wasn't the best idea it could have been, but it was much 
better than the alternative she offered.
>Ryan wonders how the hell the bar stays in business. It only seems to get 
wierdoes for patrons.
>Nina-chan smiles, and pets the Pikachu.
>Weirdos with money
>Vincent (OOC) grins, "Weirdness does not change the value of money, Ryan. Think 
of it that way. n.n"
>Uriel asks, "(OOC) Money? They think I've got MONEY?"
>Ryan sighs, shaking his head. He whispers to Cloud (just loud enough for the 
studio audience to hear), "Did you get her drunk?" He points at Uriel.
>Pikachu'z.z'
>Pikachu has disconnected.
>Ryan . o O ( And how'd she not be affected by that little yellow thingie's zap? 
)
>Vincent raises a hand to gesture at Ryan. Just a little one, attempting to 
attract his attention.
>Ryan notices Vincent's gesture, but he waits for Cloud's reply before walking 
over.
>Uriel, by this time, has finished off her beer. She smacks the glass down on 
the bar, and experimentally sings a few more lines, just to make sure her voice 
is still as offpitch as before. o/~You labelled me... I'll label yoooou! So I 
dub thee unforgiiiveeeen!o/~
>Ryan winces at the song. The horror! The horror!    O_=
>Cloud says, "..." as he takes the glass. "Er, can you please stop ... singing?"
>Vincent seems unaffected by what must be better than hours and hours of hearing 
only the noises of hidden monsters that reside in the same place he's taken up 
residence. At least, so long as Uriel doesn't hit any piercing, glass breaking 
notes.  Hopefully, even the off tone singing shouldn't reach that state, in 
that song. c.c
>Uriel sticks her tongue out at Cloud. "Shows what *you* know, mister dead-man 
bartender. I'm *not* singing. I'm doin' my intepretation of my sister."
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. "Eh? Who's your sister?"
>Uriel says, "Wouldn't *yoooou* like ta know!'"
>Ryan replies with a smirk, "Actually, I would."   ^_^   Keep her talking, she's 
not singing when she's talking...
>Uriel points at Nina, and lies glibly. "She's over there." n.n
>Nina-chan blinks, "Huh?"
>Nina-chan o_O;, errs, "I'm not your sister!!"
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. He doesn't buy it, but he doesn't comment either. 
Seeing as how Spikey won't admit to letting this gal get drunk, he heads over 
to Vincent to see what he wanted to ask.
>Uriel asks nonsensically, "Well, ya wanna be? I'll even pierce your ears for ya!"
>Vincent only speaks quietly. Politely, too as he asks Ryan, "Could you please 
pour me some tea?"
>Cloud says, "... which sister, Uriel...?"
>Ryan sweatdrops. "... Er... okay."    . o O ( Sheesh, he coulda just spoken up 
when I was over there   O_o )
>Uriel answers, "The banana-freak. Or pomegranate, she says, on alternate 
Tuesdays. I dunno, blondie. I don't think she's all *there*, if ya know what I 
mean."
>Nina-chan sighs, and just ignores Uriel.
>Ryan stops in his tracks. Erk. Sound of machinery grinding to a halt. In a 
SECOND he's next to Cloud, stage-whispering to him, "Is she a...?"
>Cloud NODS.
>Ryan SWEATDROPS. Hoo-boy.
>Uriel, however, doesn't ignore Nina. "C'mon. Ya'd look a helluva lot better 
with a few more earrings, kiddo."
>Ryan whispers to Cloud, "Well, at least she seems to have a marginally better 
attitude then scythe-girl..."
>Cloud mumbles, "I was trying to get her to be less... cohesive." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".....  was  .....  .....  get  her  .....  be  less  ..  ..  .. 
 cohesive  .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "Well, it WORKED." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "Well  ..  it  WORKED  .." to Cloud.
>Nina-chan -.-;
>Vincent (OOC) laughs at that mumble. n.n
>Ryan (OOC) gives a thumbs-up to those two mumbles   n.n
>Cloud mumbles, "She was on the ship too. Her name is Uriel." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "She  .....  .....  the  .....  .....  ..  Her  .....  .....  
.....  .." to Ryan.
>Ryan narrows his eyes.
>You mumble, "Well, why's she getting drunk in a bar?   O_o" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, ".....  ..  why's  .....  getting  .....  .....  .....  .....  .. 
 .....  O_o" to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "Because it was either that or entertain her." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "Because  .....  was  .....  that  or  .....  her  .." to Ryan.
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. "Eh?"
>Cloud mumbles, "Don't ask." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".....  .....  .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "I'm asking." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "I'm  asking  .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "... she has a... different idea of entertainment than I do." to 
Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..  ..  ..  she  has  .....  ..  ..  ..  different  idea  of  
.....  than  I  .....  .." to Ryan.
>Vincent just out of idle curiousity, begins to actually (and discreetly) tune 
into the conversation betwenn Cloud and Ryan. Something that is possibly not to 
hard, given a more than acute hearing, as well as the closeness of both men.
>Cloud rubs his neck embarrassedly.
>You mumble, "Define 'different'." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "Define  .....  .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "... she ... kissed me. After threatening to kill me." to Ryan 
Vincent.
>Cloud mumbles, "..  ..  ..  she  ..  ..  ..  kissed  .....  ..  After  
threatening  .....  .....  .....  .." to Ryan Vincent.
>Ryan isn't letting you off THAT easily. Ryan hasn't had any fun in WEEKS...
>Uriel peeeers at Cloud and Ryan. "What's goin' on over there. Eh?"
>Uriel pounds on the bar. *THUMP* *THUMP* "Seeeervice!"
>Pharangese has arrived.
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. "That's... a bit unusual. Yeah." He turns to face 
Uriel. "Yes?"
>Pharangese slowly makes her way inside, strolling over to immediately sit at a 
table.
>Cloud rubs his neck, looking down, then looks towards... Vincent?
>Uriel holds out her empty glass wordlessly.
>Ryan . o O ( Not that I haven't done anything WORSE )
>Ryan takes the glass, refilling it with the non-alcoholic stuff again. With 
luck, our ears will be saved. Hey, shouldn't Cloud be doing this job?
>Cloud looks back at Uriel, then whispers to Ryan.
>Vincent wordlessly stares back to Cloud. There isn't much that he can say, 
really. Or rather, nothing that he would find himself wishing to comment upon 
outside of his private thoughts.
>Uriel wrinkles her nose at the beer, and sets it down, holding her hands out 
again to Ryan as though expecting something -else-.
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. "Hmm?"
>Cloud mumbles, "The Gargleblaster recipe is under the counter if she wants
something hard." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "The  Gargleblaster  recipe  .....  under  .....  .....  .....  
.....  wants  .....  .....  .." to Ryan.
>Ryan goes wide-eyed. No way is he making that stuff. It's illegal in 10 states  
  O_O
>Pharangese pulls her cloak behind her unconsciously. She doesn't seem to notice 
anything else going on, at first. Eventually, after getting fully settled, she 
does take in her surroundings and those in it.
>l pharan

Pharangese

The majestic woman you see locks gazes with you momentarily. Her frame is 
very lithe, yet appears strong, slender and proud, clad in body armor of 
light indigo. It ends at her shoulders in pointed guards, and ends at her 
hips to be matched by protective pieces at her knees and shins below. This 
leaves her white breeches, boots, and white arm coverings visible in 
contrast, where the steel leaves her otherwise bare. Thin bangles of gold 
and small gems hang from her wrists, and a long, reversable cloak of the 
palest lilac, lined inwardly in purple, drifts with movement behind her, 
exposing the ornate sword at her hip.
  
Pharangese's pale features hold a deep seriousness in their beauty, though 
this seems borne of a patience, as opposed to sadness. The wisened, 
emerald green eyes of the woman are framed by her raven black hair, that 
pours down her back with occasional waves. Her bangs are crested by a 
large, magnificent, jeweled headpiece, that crosses in back, and ends in 
tall points over her head. She is sure of step, contemplative in her 
words, and certain of her holy duties. She blinks thoughtfully at you just 
once more, then glances onward.
Carrying:
Midgaard City Map, Bow and Quiver, and Flute

>Uriel demands impatiently, "C'mon!"
>Ryan is, apparently, not a mind-reader. "What do you want to order?"
>Cloud sighs, looking at Uriel. "..." Is she holding those hands out close 
together for another drink or wide apart for something else?
>Vincent, apparently considering what situation there is well handled by Ryan 
and Cloud, turns his attention to the newest arrival. Carefully, he considers 
Pharangese's figure, taking note of any obvious oddities, if any. Then, after 
that consideration, he returns his attention to the bar counter at which he 
sits, waiting for the tea he asked Ryan to get for him.
>Uriel asks ingenuously, "You for sale?"
>Ryan blinks. "Eh?"   . o O ( *scanning for pick up lines* *match found* )
>Cloud says, "... ... ..." On second thought, he'll steer clear of Uriel. No use 
getting information out of her.
>Uriel says, "Ya heard me. This stuff really bites." She gestures with a thumb 
to the beer.
>Pharangese, though in a state of silent thought, now regards Vincent in return. 
Apparently, she isn't as focused and oblivious as she appeared.
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Well, there's some more exotic drinks..."   . o O ( I am NOT 
making that stuff   O_O )
>Uriel rolls her eyes. "How about somethin' that doesn't taste like horse piss?" 
Nevermind that she drank the first one with no complaints.
>Pikachu has connected.
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Gotcha..."  . o O ( I don't really want to have to toss her 
out, if she's a... )   He fumbles around behind the bar for a few moments, 
making the sober among us wonder if he actually has a clue what's going on, but 
eventually comes up with an alcoholic beer.   . o O ( I REALLY hope getting her 
MORE drunk isn't a bad thing  >.< )   He hands it over with a smirk.
>Uriel reaches for the beer--no, wait. It was Ryan's wrist she was reaching for.
>Ryan blinks as his wrist is grabbed. Now this is an unusual development. Anyone 
want to make bets on how doomed Ryan is?
>Pikachu bet a Poketreat! n.n
>Uriel gives Ryan an experimental tug, trying to drag *him* across the bar. 
She's quite a bit stronger than she looks, but the bar -is- kind of tall.
>Cloud (OOC) puts down 20 bucks. n.n And pays Harken 100 for the rest of this 
TP. n.n
>Somewhere on the MUCK, Harken pockets the money. "Pleasure doing business with 
you, Strife..."
>Pikachu yawns
>Pharangese views the goings-on with her usual unemotional serenity.
>Ryan is also a lot stronger then he looks... no, wait, he looks pretty strong. 
He gets dragged about halfway before pushing against the bar with his feet to 
slow his forward advance. "... Erm, any reason you're pulling me?"
>Vincent halfway considers coming to Ryan's aid. After all, he is merely a few 
seats away from Uriel. As he considers, he watches Uriel's actions with a 
certain, silent caution.
>Cloud looks over towards Ryan. He takes half a step towards him, then pauses to 
gauge Uriel's reaction.
>Ryan . o O ( I better be gettin' paid for this, Spikey   =_= )
>Uriel grins. "I could come over to -that- side, if ya'd rather." That spoken, 
she does so, clambering up on the bar and plunking down indian-style on its 
surface. "What's your average Tabbot-Ryan-Tabbot goin' for on the open market, 
these days?" She seems to be ignoring Cloud. For now.
>Pikachu blinks
>Nina-chan looks down at Pikachu, "Good evening Pikachu!"
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi Pikachu." looking up with a smile 'n.n'
>Ryan raises his eyebrow, posing dramatically. "Quite a lot, I'm afraid. I 
really can't flirt with people who've put back a bit too much, if you follow my 
drift, seein' as how it's just not proper."
>Since when is Ryan proper?
>Shaddup   ;p
>Ryan also prefers to date within his own species, mind you.
>Uriel snorts. "Who's flirtin'?" She makes a valiant attempt to wrap her arms 
around Ryan's neck.
>Toma has arrived.
>Ryan takes a step back. Hopefully that's enough, seeing as how there's a wall 
over there. "Ah-ah-ah!"
>Toma steps into the bar, humming to himself.
>Uriel biiiiihs Ryan. "You're -no- fun." She spins around on the bar to face 
Cloud and company, and acquires a new target. Grinning at Toma, she blows him a 
faintly drunken kiss. "Yo, reptile-boy! Miss me yet?"
>Pharangese remains still and quiet at her side table, watching the activity 
with no visible reaction.
>Ryan appears to be behind the bar at the moment. And Uriel is on it. Ryan lets 
out a hearty exhalation as Uriel backs off.
>Toma erks. o.o . o O ( Not her again! x.x )
>Cloud moves over to Ryan as Uriel backs off.
>Ryan . o O ( Maybe if she weren't drunk   o_= )
>Cloud mumbles, "... Ryan? She's one of them... shouldn't we try to get 
information from her?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..  ..  ..  Ryan  ..  She's  .....  .....  .....  ..  ..  ..  
shouldn't  we  .....  .....  .....  information  .....  .....  .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "... Just what are you insinuating, Spikey?" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..  ..  ..  .....  what  are  you  insinuating  ..  .....  .." 
to Cloud.
>Pikachu hops down from Nina's arms "Chu.." 'o.o'
>Vincent stands up. Calmly, he turns around, then begins to walk for the doorway 
leading out of the bar.
>Uriel clambers off the bar and saunters over to Toma. She can still walk 
straight. Kind of. "Where ya been, Fred?"
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. What's that crazy drunk up to know? Keeping in mind, 
of course, that Ryan is blocking his memories of that Halloween party. Oh yes.
>Cloud mumbles, "Is there anything you can do? She seems to like you well 
enough." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "Is  there  .....  .....  .....  do  ..  .....  .....  .....  
like  .....  .....  enough  .." to Ryan.
>Ryan raises his eyebrow.
>You mumble, "Well, getting her drunk didn't work. Any suggestions?" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "Well  ..  getting  her  drunk  .....  .....  ..  Any  
suggestions  .." to Cloud.
>Cloud looks up as Vincent stands up, watching him go. "..."
>Toma says, "...My name is *not* Fred. -.-"
>Cloud turns back to Ryan.
>Vincent has left.
>Uriel flashes a grin.
>Cloud mumbles, "... I thought if she were drunk enough, she'd talk about 
certain things if you asked..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..  ..  ..  .....  thought  .....  .....  .....  .....  enough  
..  she'd  .....  .....  .....  things  if  you  asked  ..  ..  .." to Ryan.
>Uriel says, "It *could* be."
>You mumble, "Do you REALLY want to see her MORE drunk?" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, ".....  REALLY  .....  .....  .....  .....  MORE  .....  .." to 
Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "How much tolerance could she possibly have?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".....  much  .....  .....  .....  .....  .....  .." to Ryan.
>Pikachu backs towards the door, fearing that all those ..... dots will fall and 
break its little head.
>You mumble, "How should I know? I haven't exactly studied their physiology..." 
to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, ".....  should  .....  know  ..  I  .....  exactly  studied  
.....  .....  ..  ..  .." to Cloud.
>Ryan (OOC) snickers
>Cloud sighs, looking over towards Toma.
>Cloud mumbles, "Who is he?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".....  is  .....  .." to Ryan.
>Ryan shrugs. "Some wanna-be treasure hunter."
>Toma says, "Well, it's not." He turns away from Uriel . o O ( Maybe if I ignore 
her, she'll go away. o.o ), then overhears Ryan. "...What was that? -.-"
>Uriel scowls at Toma's back. "Be careful, or I'll find a *new* boyfriend."
>Ryan either didn't hear Toma, or isn't paying attention to him. Probably the 
latter. He takes a seat behind the bar.
>Pikachu runs!
>Cloud sighs as he picks up a towel and resumes bartending duties.
>Pikachu has left.
>Ryan whispers to Cloud (made audible for our studio audience), "How much will 
you pay me to work here while she's" points at Uriel "around? You can make a 
quick getway."
>Pan has arrived.
>Cloud says, "... ... ..." He whispers back, "... I can handle it."  He doesn't 
sound too confident though.
>Pan-chan waves
>Pharangese closes her eyes slowly and could very well be asleep.
>Ryan smirks. "Whatever. Don't say I didn't warn you." He hops over the bar, 
taking a seat at a table.
>Ryan . o O ( Well... how to get information out of her? )
>Toma doesn't answer Uriel. . o O ( If I could only be that lucky... )
>Uriel's still throwing some strange mixture of taunts and insults at 'Fred'. 
"Like... like Tabbot-Ryan-Tabbot, over there." She points in the 
street-fighting-archaeologist's general direction.
>Ryan raises his hand. "Er, just 'Ryan Tabbot'."
>Toma zips over to Ryan, and pats him on the back. "She's perfect for you."
>Pharangese removes her sword in it's scabbard from her belt, her eyes still 
closed, and she sets it gently beside her.
>Cloud . o O ( ... I guess I won't have to worry about that. )
>Ryan blinks at Toma. "Eh? Don't touch me."
>Uriel follows Toma over to Ryan's table, and gives Cloud a wild grin. "C'mon 
over, dead man. Then I'll have all my boys in the same place!" n.n
>Cloud says, "... I can't. I have to watch the bar." . o O ( Thank goodness. )
>Ryan crosses his hands behind his head, flashing Uriel a smile *teeth glint*  
"What do you need him for? You have me."   . o O ( Dear GOD I hope this works   
>.< )
>Toma gives Ryan an odd look, then shrugs. . o O ( His funeral. )
>Ryan already dug his grave when he challenged Harken, so he needs to get SOME 
use out of it.
>Uriel peers at Ryan. Hmm. Good teeth. Shame he's not a horse. She plunks her 
elbows down on the table. She accuses, "*You* said you cost too much."
>Ryan holds up his index finger. "Eh... that's only for the purchaser. No law 
against giving free gifts."
>Ryan . o O ( ... I am SO doomed. I HOPE she knows something   >.< )
>Uriel says, "Uh-huh. An' how do I qualify for one a'those?" She plunks down on 
the table -- not AT the table, ON the table -- and rests her feet on one of the 
chairs.
>Ryan tries to ponder an appropriate reply. Ah here we go. "That depends. You 
really WANT to?"

** This shall henceforth be referred to as Mistake #2 **

>Cloud gathers up a towel and starts wiping down the counter.
>Ryan (OOC) Yeah, you stay safe, leave me to the demon   ;P
>Cloud says, "(OOC) I was dealing with her before, your turn, bub. u.u"
>Uriel, with a perfectly straight face, answers, "Nope. I'm just leadin' ya on 
ta make Fred there jealous. An' he *is* jealous, even if he's not gonna admit 
it. He or blondie, one."
>Uriel says, "(OOC) You THINK you're safe, Cloud. And therein lies the danger."
>Ryan raises his eyebrow, calling out to Toma, "Hey, hear that, you jealous of 
me?" Regardless of whether he replies or not, he asks Uriel, "So... what else 
have you got pierced, eh?"
>Cloud says, "(OOC) ... ... ..."
>Ryan (OOC) o/~ It's the end of the world as we know it...
>Uriel n.n "Wanna find out?"
>Toma asks, "...Why should I be jealous?"
>Cloud says, "(OOC) And with those, Ryan's fate is sealed. n.n"
>Ryan flashes a smirk. "... Don't see any reason why not."    . o O ( ... *image 
of Ryan hanging from gallows* )
>Ryan is REAL glad we don't have a Gina here.
>Pan-chan (OOC) giggles
>Uriel winks at Ryan, then throws a glance at Toma. "You're about to lose your 
shot at me, Freddie-boy. Better speak now, or forever regret it!"
>Ryan calls out to Toma. "Well? Passing this catch up?"
>Toma ers... "What can I say? I'm not quite as 'suave' as Mr. Tabbot, there."
>Ryan caught that little remark. He'll get his vengeance later. To Uriel, "Well, 
what do you know, the squirt dumped ya? What nerve."
>Pharangese gathers her sword, and exits.
>Pharangese has left.
>Lyrae arrives, with Kim and Soreth following behind. 
>Lyrae quietly says, "Three days ago."
>Pan-chan waves
>Ryan sits at a table. Uriel sits ON the table. He looks over at the arrivals, 
and SWEATDROPS. You guys have just the best timing, y'know that?
>Soreth blinks.
>Kim says, "Dang, girl. o.o"
>Uriel sighs. "Whatever WILL my poor broken heart do?" She somehow doesn't sound 
convincing.
>Cloud is tending bar. And letting Ryan work his mojo.
>Lyrae walks in with a very slight limp, and a sketchpad at her side. She makes 
her way immediately towards a vacant table, fairly oblivious to all until she 
walks smack into a chair. "Ow!".. then sits in it. o O ( Oi vey.. )
>Ryan smirks at Uriel, though his confidence is nowhere near as evident now. 
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."   . o O ( Please PLEASE let them figure 
out I'm buttering up the Metal Demon for info   n.n; )
>Kim scratches her chin o.o;
>Lyrae blinks once she registers other people's voices, and waves her left hand 
slightly in greeting to the room in general.
>Kim sits down next to Lyrae, placing the book on the table.
>Lyrae's face twitches against another yawn and she grumbles. o O ( Need 
something to stay awake.. ) She calls over to Cloud quietly, "Could I have some 
coffee please.."
>Uriel doesn't LOOK like a metal demon! Really. The 'Metallica' T-shirt hardly 
counts. DESPITE the fact that he fled from her before, she's willing to give 
Ryan one more chance. At least, it seems that way, as she attempts to find a 
more comfortable seat than the table. Say... Ryan's lap.
>Soreth sits down next to Lyrae and Kim. His tail twitches absently.
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Wow Ryan you really =are= a lady's man ^_^"
>Kim asks, "Gosh, Lyrae....are you sure you're ok?"
>Cloud (OOC) tosses Harken another 100 bill. n.n
>Ryan got told that little secret by Cloud, though, Uriel. Too bad he forgets it 
as Uriel plants herself in his lap. Hoo-boy, hope that metal part isn't too 
literal.
>Kim says, "I mean...it's not healthy to go without sleep for days"
>Uriel says, "(OOC) Hey! I'm not a lady! ^_^"
>Ryan (OOC) deserves this   ;_;
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) ...Demon's man? n.n"
>Lyrae quietly says, "It's not like it's intentional.." She yawns, "I just can't 
sleep."
>Soreth blinks. "Why not?"
>Kim says, "Not intentional? eyeing the coffee."
>Vell has arrived.
>Lev walks into the bar, intent on where he's walking. The beverages doth sing 
their sweet siren songs.
>Ryan sits at a table, Uriel in his... lap? Hoo-boy.
>Lyrae waits for Cloud to deliver said coffee first ^^
>Uriel's surprisingly light. Demons really DO vary in build, it seems. "I'd 
offer my place, but I dunno if my family'd approve." She snickers. "Ya know how 
it goes."
>Lyrae is sitting at a table with Soreth and Kim, looking close to falling 
asleep. Damnit Cloud gimme that coffee!
>Kim holds her statement until the coffee arrives.
>Cloud walks over to the coffee machine, getting some for the insistent lady.
>Toma . o O ( I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. I'm *not* jealous. -.- )
>Lyrae (OOC) n.n
>Cloud brings back the coffee, bowing his head a bit.
>Uriel . o O ( ....He's jealous. ^_^ )
>Ryan replies, "I hear you guys have one heckuva house. Also hear the familiy is 
less than hospitable to guests, though. Good thing you seem friendly." 
Grinbeamsmirksweatdropwinkbeam.
>Ryan . o O ( Sucka. ... Wait, I'm flirting with a demon   O_o )
>Lev plops down onto a barseat. *thump* He looks much better than yesterday. x.X;
>Lyrae mutters a soft, "Thanks.." As she takes the coffee, and replies to Kim, 
"Not intentional." She sips the coffee and coughsputters for a second. "There's 
an experience that I don't relish repeating.." She huffs then sets the 
sketchpad on the table. "..at least I'm awake now." o.o
>Lyrae waves to Lev.
>Ryan would ask about... last night's 'fun', but he's a tad 'occupied' at the 
moment.
>Lyrae glances at Kim, tapping the pad questioningly. 'Ready?'
>Lev waves to Lyrae, looking cheery. ^_^ He got his ass kicked, and he's in a 
generally good mood. n.n
>Kim frowns
>Kim says, "Doin' the same thing I did..."
>Cloud starts to walk back, then pauses. "... Experience?"
>Kim picks up the book.
>Kim says, "Okay, let's go."
>Pan has left.
>Kim opens the book, leaning back in the chair, looking at it.
>Lyrae smiles sleepily to Lev, then tucks herself into her chair, resting her 
hands lightly on the pad, pencil in hand. Her eyes half close, then move 
towards Cloud, "Sleep deprivation. Coffee is like a jolt to the system." She 
explains, then turns her attention back to Kim. "Okay.. let's do it." She 
closes her eyes.
>Uriel answers with a grin. "As long as you stay interesting, Ryan."
>Cloud says, "..." as he nods and heads back over to the counter. And who did I 
NOT see come in? x.x
>Ryan smirks at Uriel, wrapping his arms around her, or trying to. "Oh, I can be 
QUITE interesting."    . o O ( *image of carrion birds feeding on Ryan's corpse* 
)
>Kim asks, "What am I supposed to be thinking about?"
>Uriel adds, "And right now you're very.... -very-.... interesting."
>Lyrae quietly says, "..whatever you see.."
>Ryan says with a (feigned) smirk, "Do tell. You're quite interesting yourself."
>Toma . o O ( Not jealous. Not at all. Nope, not me. )
>Uriel is perfectly content with Ryan's arms. Again--desired reaction achieved. 
"You dunno the half of it. But I'd be more'n happy ta educate ya."
>Soreth makes a motion to Kim with his wings out of Lyrae's sight.
>Pharangese has arrived.
>Cloud has disconnected.
>Kim hms and glances around, blinking at Soreth
>Kim asks, "Hm?  what is it?"
>Pharangese comes back to the restaurant, moving to her usual table alone.
>Nina has disconnected.
>Ryan says, "Wouldn'tcha know it, education is just what I'm looking for..." 
Lyrae, you've got the bar by default, apparently   c.c
>Lyrae is seated not quite indian-style in a chair at a table with Kim and 
Soreth. Noted Ryan .. n.n soon as I open my eyes and see Cloud stepped out 
anyway ^^
>Ryan seems to be enjoying himself. Well, seems being the operative word.
>Lev glances around for a waitress. Seeing none, he reaches over the bar and 
grabs a bottle of fine wine. His tab will cover it. He thinks. n.n;
>Pharangese gets comfortable as before, looking over to Lyrae momentarily, no 
emotion showing on her face.
>Uriel steals a quick glance in Toma's direction before beaming at Ryan. She 
then proceeds to make talk more or less impossible. Unless one is really 
creative. Hope Ryan's a good actor! Then again, Uriel's still more than 
slightly drunk.
>Cloud has connected.
>Ryan . o O ( Darn it, she keeps lookin' at that loser. I'll never get anything 
out of her if she's just using me    o.=; )
>Aren't you using -her- Ryan? =)
>Shush, you
>Lyrae (OOC) points to Lev, "He stole a drink! n.n"
>Yes sir n.n
>Soreth flexes his wing a bit more at Kim.
>Kim stares at Soreth, blinking a bit confused
>Lyrae waits patiently, not moving an inch.
>Cloud (OOC) slashes lev. o.o
>Lev (OOC) gets his rear kicked for her, and this is the respect he gets. n.n;
>Ryan moves his hands to more... creative places. The pervert. He whispers into 
Uriel's ear, "Forget about that dope, babe..."
>Lyrae (OOC) laughs!! "Kidding!! *patpats Levvie* n.n"
>Lev (OOC) stuffs a Temporal Nuke'Em down Cloud's throat. Duck and cover, 
kiddies. o_o
>Ryan (OOC) About time. I get my ass kicked for her DAILY   ;P
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) You're exaggerating! It's only every OTHER day n.n"
>If looks could kill, Toma would be making Ryan very, very dead right now.
>Uriel . o O ( Oh, this is -fun-. )
>Soreth sighs and opens a tiny mindlink to Kim. //Think about me! It won't be 
expected!//
>Ryan doesn't seem to care. At the very least, even if he doesn't get info out 
of her, he at least gets his cheap feel for the day.
>Uriel apparently subscribes to the Esmerelda School of Male Handling. Go fig.
>Ryan (OOC) thinks this is hilarious. Uriel trying to use Ryan, and Ryan trying 
to use  her   n.n;
>Lyrae (OOC) nodnods ^_^
>Cloud says, "(OOC) See, Ryan, you're better for this job than ol' Cloud. n.n"
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Uriel's got no problem with that. She chuckles quietly. "Babe? Not bad, but if 
you're nice, I'll let ya call me 'Angel'. Gotta ask nice, though." She reaches 
up to catch Ryan's chin and, if he has no vehement objections, glues her lips 
to his.
>Ryan (OOC) SPECIALIZES in cheap feels!
>Pharangese waits until she's settled to note the activities in the room with 
calm eyes.
>Uriel says, "(OOC) He's probably a better kisser than you, too, Cloud. I'll let 
 ya know. ^_^"
>Lyrae sits in a meditative posture, wondering what could be so hard to think of 
an image.
>Lyrae (OOC) ^^
>Ryan blinks, wasn't quite expecting that so sudden (what an idiot), but he 
certainly has no objections. Or at least, is not voicing them.
>Kim slowly glances over at the insane mess going on to her left. >.>;
>Cloud says, "(OOC) I didn't TRY. o.o"
>Ryan . o O ( Tastes like a battery   O_o )
>Lyrae (OOC) LOL
>Uriel says, "(OOC) Uh-HUH. Likely excuse."
>Cloud says, "(OOC) X.x"
>Uriel . o O ( Tastes like chicken. O_o   )
>Lyrae's hand slowly starts to move over the sketchpad, the pencil drawing quick 
feather-light lines on the paper, at various positions on the sheet. It isn't 
clear what it is yet.
>Lyrae asks gently, "(OOC) Ryan had KFC for dinner?"
>Ryan wonders how long this will take... these demons don't seem to need to come 
up for air much. Oh well, he seems to be enoying himself, especially with his 
hand ther- PERVERT! *slap*
>Ryan (OOC) Finger licking good!   n.n   It's almost real food!
>Cloud says, "(OOC) Er, you really think Uriel would slap you? o>o"
>Lyrae is lucky she can't particularly -see- what she's drawing.. just getting 
lines and a general idea of the image first. However when the picture is done..
>Ryan (OOC) Depends on how kinky she is   n.n
>Uriel will come up for air. Eventually. Not that she appears *finished*, by any 
stretch of the imagination. (OOC: Very. Fear. )
>Kim looks back at LYrae, "Um...done yet?" o.o;
>Lyrae doesn't respond, her hand continuing to sketch. There's ia faint outline 
on the paper now, as the pencil marks start to darken and shade. It's *almost* 
clear as to what the picture is.
>Ryan doesn't know about Lyrae, but HE certainly isn't. A little tounge here, a 
little grope there, we have ourselves an interesting evening. The fact this is 
making Toma jealous is just a side benefit.
>Pharangese has left.
>( Toma jealousy scale currently reading 10 out of 10. )
>Lyrae's hand shakes ever so slightly, the movement slowly o O ( ..? )
>Ryan is apparently going for an 11.
>Why stop there?
>One thing at a time.
>Cloud does those little background noises. Glass tinkling in the background, 
wiping down the counter, swishswish.
>Ryan . o O ( Ryan's intellect: "Remember Ryan, talking first, fun stuff later. 
Her sister nearly took you out, remember?" Ryan's libido: "Quiet, you!" )
>Lyrae's pencil scratches away on the paper in more background noise. Then with 
another flourish to shade the rest, the picture is complete. o O ( Why in god's 
name.. ) She opens her eyes. o O ( Would I draw this ? )
>Lyrae (OOC) LOL!
>Kim blinks
>Kim says, "Woh"
>Cloud keeps his eyes away from Ryan, thank you.
>Lyrae looks at Kim o.o
>Lyrae asks gently, "Nani?"
>Kim says, "Er.." o_o
>Lyrae quietly says, "Off by a long shot wasn't I :\"
>Ryan keeps his eyes, as well as most of his body parts, on Uriel.
>Kim says, "No ^_^;"
>Kim points at...the sight.
>Lyrae asks gently, ".... what?"
>Uriel says, "Umm. Very interesting." Uriel is perfectly happy with this 
arrangement. o O ( Humans really -are- fascinating. )
>Soreth cranes his neck around to see the drawing.
>Lyrae turns in her chair, looking at the ...sight...then back at her sketch. 
Back to the duo. To the sketch. Duo. Sketch. Lyrae pushes the picture away from 
her like a hotcake. o O ( I feel so ...UGGGH!! )
>Lev is perfectly happy. He has wine. u.u
>Lyrae shudders, looking sick to her stomach.
>Ryan caresses Uriel in various places one shouldn't on a first date. This is 
quite visible to Toma (on purpose) and to Kim and Lyrae (not). He whispers into 
her ear, "... Hmm, I haven't even started to be interesting yet."
>Toma continues glaring at Ryan, but he doesn't move over to stop him, yet. . o 
O ( Okay, so I'm jealous. >.< )
>Lyrae clamps her hand over her mouth, "I...think I'm going to be sick." She 
jumps up and bolts out of the room to the porch, and promptly is quite ill.
>Uriel has a feeeeew things to learn about human culture. It's okay to start 
undressing Ryan here--right? "What're ya waitin' for, then... 'fraid of our 
audience?"
>Kim o.o;
>Ryan's libidio lands a critical hit to Ryan's intellect! The intellect hath 
been slain! He rubs her back. "I doubt they'd be... appreciative."
>Lev glances at the couple. WOAH. "...I thought the pad database rated this 
place PG13?"
>Lyrae (OOC) n.n;
>Cloud slowly raises his hand to his face. This is not going where it's supposed 
to.
>Kim pulls a hankerchief out of her coat pocket and ties it around her eyes.
>Kim whistles, crossing her arms, sitting in the chair.
>Depends on who's 'supposed to' you're thinking of   c.c
>Lyrae makes her way back into the bar, ironically likewise Kim, with a sash 
tied around her eyes.
>Lyrae . o O ( God I'm blinded for life now.. )
>Ryan (OOC) swats Lyrae.
>Lyrae (OOC) *OWS* LOL! "Sorry!"
>Ryan (OOC) Yer just jealous Derek don't this this wit' YOU   ;P
>Lyrae (OOC) would kil him if he tried o.o
>Ryan (OOC) No, Janus would
>Lev throws out several credits onto their table, forgetting this is the wrong 
time and place. ^_^
>Uriel has rather forgotten her original aim. She snuggles closer (possible?!) 
to her intellectually-challenged human, and mumbles, "Well, they're welcome to 
join in..." (Yup. She's pierced in all SORTS of places. O.O )
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) We both would n.n"
>Lyrae . o O ( o/~ My Baloney has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R, My Baloney has a 
second name it's M-A-Y-E-R..E-Y-E-R-.. o/~ Skip it. ) )
>Lev twirls around in his barstool, returning to the drink. Actually, he knew 
perfectly well, it was merely a subtle hint. c.c
>Kim coughs!
>Kim says, "When did this become a rumpus room?...."
>Ryan blinks. Oh my. Didn't know you could pierce THAT. He won't comment on the 
coin toss. He does seem to have retained at least a little common sense as he 
whispers into Uriel's ear, "This place ain't comfortable enough."
>Uriel (OOC) belatedly hangs out the 
"I'm-sorry-I'm-sorry-I'm-really-not-a-TOTAL-perv-it's-just-my-character" sign.
>Ryan (OOC) IS a total pervert, unfortunately. A match made in H-E-double-L
>Lyrae (OOC) grins
>Cloud (OOC) no-comments.
>Lyrae finds her way to her seat with Kim, hands over her ears, o O ( o/~ ...I 
wish I were in Dixie, Hur-RAY Hur-RAY! o/~ )
>Soreth fogs over the image on the pad for the grace of everyone else.
>Ryan (OOC) snickers.
>Uriel mumbles, "Got any better ideas, then?" She reaches out almost absently to 
snag one of the coins. Uriel likes shinies.
>Uriel (OOC) LOL.
>Kim says, "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...." leaning back with her hands 
behind her head.
>Lyrae (OOC) LOL
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) I was JUST about to type that"
>Ryan whispers as he gropes, "My place would be nice..."   . o O ( Intellect:

>Lyrae (OOC) *giggles*
>Lev . o O ( They've been at this since I came in. ...Do bars suddenly spring up 
into strip bars under my influence? )
>Lyrae sings o/~ .. My bunnie lies over the ocean, my bunnie lies over the sea, 
my bunnie lies over the ocean, oh bring back my bunnie to me.-
>Yes, they do, Lev
>Uriel, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on one's point of view, has 
virtually no intellect to put up a fight. "Lead the way, then, wontcha?"
>Lyrae . o O ( o/~ Iiiit's a small world aaaafter all, Iiiiit's a small world 
aaafter all.. o/~ )
>Uriel says, "(OOC) Whoah. Lyrae's REALLY desperate."
>Lyrae (OOC) GIGGLES
>Toma is *this* close to getting up and trying to injure Ryan. Suicidal? 
Probably.
>Lyrae (OOC) certanly is, Uriel ^^
>Kim says, "Can you tell me how to get...how to get to Sesame Street..."
>Soreth carefully blanks his mind.
>Ryan hasn't stripped yet, anyway. Despite Uriel's best efforts. At least you 
won't have to watch this utterly shameless display any further (the !@^*! lech, 
make sure to beat him senseless later). He stands up, probably picking up Uriel 
too, if she doesn't feel like moving away. "... Don't see why not."      . o O 
( Intellect: "Oh screw it. Don't say I didn't warn you." *sounds of footsteps,

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.
[Exits   : (N)orth, Tifa's Seventh Heaven (7), (T)ransit Station, Path (D)own 
to the Gorge, Suspension (B)ridge, and (S)outh ]
[Sleepers: Gambit, Janus, Minako, and Hammer ]
Ryan arrives, with Uriel following behind. 
[Things  : None ]

>In a page-pose to you, Lyrae LOL :)
>Toma has arrived.
>Ryan is apparently walking away, Uriel in hand (among other places)
>Toma storms after Ryan. And if the lech isn't too 'busy' he'll probably hear 
Toma coming up from behind.
>Uriel's doing her best to make Ryan 'too busy', that's for sure.
>Ryan, as noted before, won't ask for an elaboration. He notices Toma (or at 
least someone) coming up behind him, but he's preoccupied...
>Toma heads up towards Ryan quickly. Coming up behind him, now. He's about to do 
something rash.
>Yuffie arrives from the south.
>Yuffie walks in from down the street, wearing a tired expression on her face.
>Ryan is carrying Uriel in an... unusual position. Toma is storming up behind 
the two.
>Unusual as in 'illegal to show to minors in most areas'.
>Ryan has his hand on Uriel's  while she has hers on , while 
Toma prepares to tear Ryan a new one.
>Yuffie *o.o*
>Toma is right behind Ryan now. He almost appears to calm down as he taps Ryan 
on the shoulder.
>Toma (OOC) "Can't hit ya in the back, now can I? c.c"
>Yuffie walks off quickly, covering her eyes. >.<
>Ryan (OOC) Well, you COULD.
>Yuffie has left.
>Toma (OOC) "But that might hurt less. c.c"
>Ryan stops in his tracks, slowly turning to face Toma, and revealing just where 
those hands were. If Belldandy were here, should would probably feint. "What do 
you want?"
>Toma's fist goes back. Toma's fist heads towards Ryan's face. Fast. This could 
hurt.
>Uriel has not yet noticed Toma's presence--or for that matter, Ryan's 
distraction. Talk about getting involved in her athletic activities....
>And apparently, it does. Ryan may have good reflexes, but he was a tad 
occupied. Toma's knuckles slam into his face, forcing him to take a step back 
as his eye begins to puff up. "You SO did not to do that." He gives Uriel 
another gratuitous feel-up (use your imagination) as he gingerly sets her down.
>Toma (OOC) has burned out his imagination already on what you two were doing in 
the bar.
>Ryan (OOC) pats Toma. "Pathetic, I'm just barely getting mine started! But if 
you WANT more details, I'd be HAPPY to oblige!"   ^_^
>Ryan (OOC) smacks his player. "You idiot! He's the lech, not you!" *points at 
Ryan*
>Uriel (OOC) sweatdrops. What have I begun?
>Ryan (OOC) Nothing good   n.n;
>Uriel says, "(OOC) Hmm. Sounds like fun."
>Toma (OOC) "Quite a bit of pain for two treasure hunters. c.c"
>Uriel says, "(OOC) Ah. Perfect. ^^"
>Uriel (OOC) ponders putting on a white dress and watching the two not-so-heroic 
combatants from afar. Naaah.
>Ryan cracks his knuckles. "So... why don't you apologize to me and the lady, 
hmm?"
>Uriel turns to eye Toma with faint irritation. "Ya missed your chance, Fred. I 
*warned* ya."
>Uriel . o O ( Uncle Al would be so proud, if he could see me now! ... ^_^ )
>Toma turns to Uriel. "W... well... that still doesn't mean you had to go and 
seduce this jerk!"
>Ryan puts his arm around Uriel, and his hand on her chest. You KNOW he's doing 
this just to spite you. "You heard her. Missed your chance."
>Uriel slips an arm around Ryan's waist, the other one curling behind him to 
places better not mentioned. "Well... what if I -wanted- to? What if I decided 
he was cuter, hmmmmm?" She eyes Toma expectantly.
>Derek has arrived.
>Derek walks back out. Seems he got in the way of Lyrae and Kim's departure.. 
@_o;
>Ryan smirks at Uriel. "Don't worry... if you're confused, I'll happily show you 
why you seduced me..." Yes, Derek, Ryan has sunk this low.
>Toma looks about ready to explode, and then... his anger just seems to vanish. 
"..."
>Derek arches an eyebrow . o O ( What the  @#$@ is Ryan talking about? ) O_o
>Ryan just happens to be talking about !@^!(ing, actually.
>Derek doesn't walk over, but he gets close enough so he can hear about this..
>Ryan has his hands on... indecent parts of Uriel's anatomy. And vice versa. 
Hoo-boy.
>Uriel is merrily wrapped around Ryan. She purrs, "I look forward to it." And 
then looks rather pleased with herself. She didn't *know* she could purr.
>Ryan whispers into Uriel's ear, "I'm sure you do." He looks up, at Toma, "Now 
buzz off, I got more important things to do."
>Uriel glances aside at Toma. Hmm. Desired reaction has abruptly vanished. The 
hell? "Don't sweat it, Freddie. I'll catch ya some other time, hey?"
>Ryan was trying to seduce Uriel into spilling some secrets. Uriel was trying to 
seduce him to make Toma jealous. The combination is unholy.
>Derek *O_o*
>Ryan (OOC) thinks we snapped his mind. *thumbs towards Derek*
>Toma walks off slowly. "..."
>Ryan frowns. "Idiot." He fondles Uriel some more.
>Uriel . o O ( Worked too well. Huh. Guess I'll hafta 'console' him later. *.* )
>Ryan will settle for 'consoling' Uriel now.
>Toma (OOC) hangs around til Ryan and Uriel head off somewhere, since he's got 
nothing better to do. n.n;
>Uriel can handle that. However, she grins at Derek, since -he's- here now. "Hi."
>Derek finally gets his train of thought back on track. Amtrak has nothing on 
him when it comes to crashes. He walks over, "Ahem...uhm, Ryan? You might want 
to cool it.. What if Rachel walked by?"
>Ryan curses. Fair warning, Ryan DOES carry an jealous streak. He looks up as 
Derek comments, and ceases his groping a second. "Er... I know what I'm doing, 
really."   . o O ( Intellect: "He has a point"  Libido: *shoot intellect* 
"Didn't I tell youse to SHUT UP!?" )
>Derek glances over at Uriel. Boy, that's another mistake so far tonight. His 
eyes widen just a little, "Wha? Aah, hello.." o_o;
>Uriel's eyes narrow. Rachel? Danger zone. She jerks a thumb at Derek. "Beat it. 
We're busy."
>Ryan elaborates, "Quite."
>Ryan DID have a plan to get information out of her, at one point. Wonder where 
that went to?
>Derek thanks the powers above for Ryan's comment. It's something for him to do 
besides be distracted by Uriel, "Well..just a friendly suggestion.. At least go 
get a room.." Before he can get an answer, he turns and goes on his way..
>Derek leaves south.
>Uriel mutters under her gargle-blaster-saturated breath, "We *were* gettin' a 
room..."
>Uriel asks, "...Right?"
>Ryan shrugs. "I have one."   . o O ( Libido: o/~ ... No time for losers because 
we are the CHAMPIONS! )
>Uriel tugs at Ryan's shirt again, giving the offending garmet a glare. "Better 
find it fast, then, unless you wanna give the streetwalkers a show." She picks 
up--more or less-where she left off before the interruptions.
>Ryan hmms. He promptly hefts Uriel up, and continues where he left off.
>Yuffie has arrived.
>Yuffie rushes out of the bar, carrying a bulging satchel... then rushes off. n.n
>Yuffie leaves south.
>Ryan might be worried about that, if he were paying attention.
>Uriel would -still- not be worried about it. Surprising how easy it is to 
ignore your cares when you live on a small pandimensional moon-shaped planet. 
^_^
>Ryan will rue the day Uriel takes him home to show the folks. That will 
probably sting.
>Better than the day she takes *Ryan* home to show *hers*.
>Hmm. Point.
>Well then. Now that the distractions are apparently gone, we can continue this 
immoral train of thought.
>Uriel rather suspects everyone has more or less abandoned us to the wolves. Or 
rather, you.
>Ryan is much better then a wolf! He bathes more often, for example!
>s
You depart to the south.

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.

with anything particularly interesting in the way of conversation. "We there 
yet?"
>Ryan whispers into Uriel's ear, "Close. Almost."

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.

>Ryan arrives, with Uriel following behind. 
>Uriel (OOC) sweatdrops. Anybody? Interruptions? Want to save Ryan from future 
humiliation? Help? Guess not. -.-
>Ryan (OOC) is doomed, oh yes. The question is, how quickly    n.n;
>Uriel says, "(OOC) Well, probably only his pride."
>Ryan fumbles for his keys    @_o    (and wounding his pride could be a 
deathblow)
>Uriel says, "Here. Lemme help ya..." She's not going for the keys, though.
>Ryan hmms. "The 'help' is appreciated..." He fiddles around in his pockets for 
a few more minutes before finding the damn things   @_o
>508
You open the door to Ryan's Apartment, and walk inside


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.

>Ryan arrives, with Uriel following behind. 
>Ryan steps inside. "I know it isn't much, but it should do nicely..."
>Uriel doesn't even spare a glance for the apartment's contents. She eyes Ryan 
instead. "Looks like plenty ta me."
>Uriel kicks the door shut behind her, locking it with a lecherous smirk. She's 
not risking any more distractions.
>Well. So much for interruptions. In the interests of good taste (and the eensy 
fact that this ain't LemonMUCK) -- do we suppose there's going to be any 
informative conversation at ALL going on? @.@
>Ryan takes a seat on the edge of the bed; it's probably a safe assumption Uriel 
takes a seat on HIM. He runs his index finger up her belly, stopping just a 
moment to playfully tap the ring on her navel. "... Do you do do this often? 
According to another member of your... family... you have a different life 
cycle." Boy, mr. pillow talk HERE. Whoo   c.c
>Ryan (OOC) is well aware of Uriel's nature OOCly. I'm stalling as much as I can 
   O_o
>Uriel seems irritated that this involves 'talk' at all. She mumbles against 
Ryan's neck, "Dunno about the others. *I* plan to. Hafta see how it goes."
>Uriel (OOC) ROTFL. Smart man.
>Ryan moves his hand lower to playfully tap something... erm... else. He 
continues in a quiet tone, "Oh? Maybe you aren't all THAT different from us 
after all."
>Ryan (OOC) tries to figure a way out of this   =_=   Maybe I amuse you enough 
that you wanna show Uncle Al. That'd be very painful for poor Ryan, but maybe 
it'd teach the idiot a lesson.
>Uriel (OOC) ponders. And ponders more. That's a possibility... but she'd wanna 
show him LATER. -.-
>Ryan (OOC) erms. Hoo-boy   n.n;
>Uriel asks, "...Never know till ya try, will you....?"
>Uriel (OOC) sweatdrops. Were this an actual soap opera, someone--like, say, 
Rachel--would burst through the doors. As it is...uhm. Yeah. I'm right with 
you, there. We may just have to award Ryan the 
expert-on-anatomy-of-metal-demons prize and call it a day. o.O;
>Ryan (OOC) still wants to get more info out of you though   O_o;;;;;   
Preferably before that, though Ryan may have IC objections to that train of 
thought.
>Uriel (OOC) snickers. Poor Ryan and his divided...uhm... interests. What say we 
cut out detail and go to dialogue? ^_^;
>Ryan plays with... um... stuff  c.c   "How do you guys get made, anyway...? I 
heard 'mother's' hanging above us, but that doesn't say much..."
>Uriel laughs. "We're born, just like you. Ya think we call her 'Mother' outta 
the goodness of our hearts?"
>Ryan hmms, doing things best left unsaid. "But do you have a 'father'?"
>Uriel might actually be getting suspicious about now, were she a) sober and b) 
not distracted. As it is... "Mmm. Don't need one."
>Ryan kisses Uriel lightly on the cheek, keeping his hands... occupied. "Oh?"
>Uriel boasts, "Mm-hmm. S'one reason we're superior."
>Ryan moves his hands to interesting places, apparently experimenting on how 
close metal demons are to people. Hrmm. "How do you keep variety in the 
species?"
>Very, very close. One would be hard-pressed to tell the difference, 
anatomically speaking. All those body piercings are just Uriel's personal 
addition. "Mother... can create whatever she likes. Anything she can dream up, 
and more beyond."
>Ryan kisses Uriel lightly as he uses those piercings to his advantage. Hey, 
they have to be there for a reason, after all. "But... what if something 
happens to Mother?"
>Uriel spasms violently, sitting bolt upright with wide eyes. "Nothing can 
happen to Mother!" she hisses abruptly. "Mother is untouchable!" True concern 
is reflected in her cornflower eyes.
>Ryan tries to keep a hand on Uriel's shoulder. He DOES seem genuinely 
concerned... unlike CERTAIN people, he doesn't really have a beef with you guys 
(well, that 'kill humanity' philosphy can be flushed, but that's another matter 
entirely). "Woah! Easy there... I'm just a lowly human after all, I don't know 
about these things."
>Uriel relaxes--marginally. "Anyway, nothing will ever happen to Mother. Not 
*my* Mother."
>Ryan blinks, trying to place his hand on other places again. Usually calms 
people down in these situations. "There are other Mothers?"
>Uriel begins to relax more than marginally, and nods. "Mm. Well, was. The 
Quarter Knights had her killed."
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. That's probably not the only thing being raised, 
but... *cough* "Oh? Isn't Harken one of them? Why?"
>Uriel makes a sour face. It's clear she doesn't think much of Harken. "'Cause 
she was a real bitch. Class A, I tell ya. Before my time, but I remember..."
>In a page-pose to you, Derek hands you your 'In Need of Relationship Counseling 
Club' membership card, "Here ya go.. -_^
>You page, "Thanks!   n.n   Don't worry, I brought up 'Mother'. That apparently 
turns alien women off too." to Derek.
>In a page-pose to you, Derek snorts, "Have to remember that..."
>Ryan hmms, deciding to grope you with both hands now. At least he seems to be 
getting something out of this. "A bitch? Really? So you can make more Mothers 
if necessary... can come in handy, I bet."
>Uriel seems distracted by the other goings-on for a moment, before she 
elaborates, eager to relate this particular bit of history. "Mm-hmm." Not that 
she really knows where her Mother came from, but... "The Q.K.'s thought Mother 
was makin' a new home for 'em; then they found out she wazza one that ATE 
Hiades, an' she was ready ta eat Filgaia, too. So they got a buncha humans to 
toast 'er."
>Ryan hmms, seemingly quiet happy to keep Uriel distracted. Take that as you 
will.   . o O ( So... they aren't invulnerable, at least. )   "What are the 
other Quarter Knights like?"
>Uriel snickers. "Just usin' me for information, huh?" Not that she's objecting.
>Ryan kisses Uriel on the neck. "Oh, I'm using you for other things too..." He 
plays with Uriel a moment, then continues, "I can't help it. I am an 
Archaeologist after all... studying ancient cultures is my job."
>Uriel says, "Hmm. That's okay, then." She answers after a moment or two, 
"...Only met two of 'em. Lady Harken's an iron-clad bitch with the imagination 
of a goat. Zat answer your questions about *her*? Uncle Al, now, *he's* got the 
right ideas."
>Ryan holds Uriel. Amazing what a guy can do with two hands. "Oh? I've met 
Harken before... but Al?"
>Uriel supplies, "Al'Hazad."
>Ryan asks, "What's his 'right ideas'?"
>Uriel says, "...That humans're for entertainment. Diversion. 'S not so obsessed 
with all this 'honor' bullshit. We do what we want with th' humans, an' no 
regrets." Her suggestive smile implies she intends just that.
>Ryan hmms? "I can't believe you'd think that... we're great fun at parties. And 
we're not all THAT different. Might be interesting to chat with those Knights 
sometime, when they aren't trying to kill me."
>Uriel grins wickedly. "I might let ya talk to Alhazad. Then again..." She runs 
a finger down Ryan's arm. "...I might keep ya for myself."
>Ryan runs his finger down... something else of Uriel's. "If you guys would just 
drop that human-killing thing, I'm sure there'd be no problem... heck, it's not 
like anyone would argue with ya moving in."
>Uriel says, "Ummm. Who said anythin' about killin' humans? ...Ya don't squirm 
once you're dead." She adds a moment later. "...don't do that, either."
>Ryan smirks. "What do you have in mind, then?"
>Uriel asks archly, "Right this instant? Close your eyes'n I'll show ya."
>Ryan blinks, pausing the fun a moment to ponder whether this is a good idea. 
Well, seeing as how his intellect is on vacation, he does so.
>Uriel proceeds to go about proving that metal demons don't feel metal at all. 
As though Ryan hasn't figured that part out yet.
>Fade to black, cut, print, ship to Cinemax for showing at 2 AM. That's a wrap.
>Uriel (OOC) ROTFL. Hope Ryan's not planning on running for president anytime in 
this lifetime.
>Ryan (OOC) snickers. Yeah right. He's wanted in about 8 countries   ^_^
>Uriel (OOC) refrains from comments about Minnesota governors. That might just 
WORK for Ryan as a campaign profile. o.O;
>Ryan (OOC) Ryan for 2000: He's no worse then the other guy!
>"Afghanistan wants him. Turkey wants him. South America wants him. And we want 
him, too!"
>Uriel will even do Ryan the favor of being gone by morning, so he can try and 
pretend it was all just a really bad--well, really WEIRD dream.
>Ryan hmms. Well, he wasn't the one who got drunk, so that option probably isn't 
available. Shame. He does go about his best in an attempt to prove that humans 
have quite the endurance, though. See what Harken misses out on?
>Uriel is duly impressed. Then again, she doesn't have a baseline for 
comparison. Well, she does now. (Feh. Harken wouldn't -lower- herself to such 
pursuits.)
>Explains her attitude.
>Hey! O.O
>Turns out Ryan'll pick up one other bit of information on metal demons. They 
don't sleep. At least, this one doesn't seem to. Ryan's got a busy night ahead 
of him.
>Next on Jerry Springer: I slept with a genocidal metal alien!
>And you think Ryan -doesn't- have a shot at political office? O.O
>Ryan tries his damnedest, though. Good thing he got healed from the Harken 
fight, else the poor guy would be dead now.
>Well, you're making a good case for letting the human race live. Or at least 
the men. (And if it helps, at least Uriel is convincingly female at the 
MOMENT... )
>Ryan will likely kill himself when he find out otherwise. Oh the humanity.
>Or inhumanity, as the case may be.
>Feh. Serves him right, sleeping with someone named after the angel of Death.
>Well, if this is how the human race ends up, I guess there are worse fates. And 
who ever claimed Ryan had common sense?
>Good point. o.o;
