Odin Street Church: Sanctuary
The tall stained glass windows of the old building flood the room with a soft
light. Your ears hear every creak and bend as you step across the old wooden
floor. This once joyous place of worship has recently been cleaned,
refurbished, and remodeled into a fine place to live and still worship as at
the front of the room is the Sacred Statue of the Holy Mother. The floors are
dust free, the pews are in straight lines, and even some of the old wood has
been removed and replaced. Electric lights hanging overhead hum with energy,
though rarely are they used to conserve energy, instead most of the light
provided by the candles located around the room. Should it be necessary that
the light provided by the candles isn't enough, more oft than not, there is a
small white generator located in the corner to provide more than enough
electricity. A portion of the wooden floor is still broken away, revealing a
patch of wild flowers growing in the center of the room. It's a cute little
addition to the quaint atmosphe

Angel
This...thing stands - or perhaps 'looms' is a better word - before
you. Whether it is monster or machine is hard to tell, but it stands
two meters tall, a humanoid but inhuman figure covered in a dark,
slightly glossy armored shell, deep violet in color with black
markings. Its build, though sturdy enough, has a bit of a lanky,
elongated look to it, suggesting more a wiry than bulky strength. Its
right forearm is slightly thicker than its left, and both end in large
hands with long, oddly delicate-looking fingers. Its head, though
smooth and faceless, has a pair of black markings coming forward from
either side, suggestive of glaring, inward-slanted black eyes. Even
more noticably, from its back sprout a large pair of wings, textured
and marked to be suggestive of feathers in the same violet and black as
the body, though the overall impression is somewhat other than angelic.
All in all, Angel's appearance alone is frightening enough, but it
doesn't quite explain the feeling that seems to radiate from it. An
aura of menace, of darkness, fills the air around, it alone enough to
frighten some, and to convince most others that they really don't need
to stand too near the demon.
Slung across Angel's left shoulder and hanging to the side is a
large rifle of some sort, of a size where even those humans that could
lift it readily could hardly fire it without being thrown back, and in
her right hand is a long spear, nearing three meters in length, with a
pitch-black shaft and a long-bladed silvery head.

Odin Street Church: Balcony Hallway
Climbing up you see a newly repaired balcony that goes all the way around the
room, with access to it on two sides via ladder. A stained glass window has
theimage of Mary upon it while on the two other sides a window looks out onto
the cemetary and the opposite side of the church, where a small garden is being
grown, respectively. The rafters are a bit higher and wide, but sturdy enough
to hold a person's weight. The source of light, when no sunlight comes in from
the windows, is a large glass chandelier that hangs over the center of the
room. There are two more narrow beds here, resting in the corner of the rooms,
by the window. At the far side of the balcony there are three boxes, which hold
blankets and towels.

used to having a slow week... usually I'm up to my ears in fights and rescues
by now." O.o; He rubs the back of his neck, then asks, "Hey, does Angel
have an AI of its own...?"

Eden
This girl stands off to one side of the gathering, demurely, not
quite timidly. She is young, no more than 17 or 18, and stands some
157cm(5'2"). Her hair, which falls thick and straight down her back
almost to her knees, is light brown and her distant, guarded eyes are
the blue of faded denim. She has a certain presence, an aura almost,
an impression of helplessness and of stricken innocence. She watches
what is happening around her, looks at the people nearby, but she keeps
a distance from it all, whether physical or metaphorical, seeming
always the outsider.
Eden is currently dressed very simply, in a long-sleeved white T-
shirt, dark grey pants, and simple white canvas shoes. The clothes are
loose-fitting, comfortable-looking, but not so much that they
completely obscure her slim but relatively generous figure, or her
precise grace of movement. She seems a young angel, a point of purity
trapped among shadows.

Odin Avenue [500]
Some of the homes here, unlinke those to the west, appear to have been erected
in rather recent years. Though larger than their elder counterparts, and
containing more modern accomidations, they are no less stylish and do not
detract from the appearance of their neighbours. The contrast might even be
considered healthy. Immediately to the east, a turn north and south and
estates with large mansions bordering it on the eastern edge of the walk mark
the end of Odin Avenue. Also, to your south here, through some wrought iron
gating..is quite oviously a cemetary. It isn't spooky as you think one should
be..far from it..it seems a peaceful, sunny area to be laid to rest.

Sif Way is the hovel of those 'fad' businesses, as well as more high-tech ones.
You can also find low-cost housing here..if you can put up with the noise of
having people drive in and out of the stores and shops next door constantly.
To be found along either side of the road are a garish mixture of weight loss
registries, lawyer's offices, video game arcades, video rental stores, beer and
liquor stores (Licensed ones..for bootlegging, you'd have to go to West Thor
Boulevard), computer and electronic shops, comic book stores. All that, and
much much more. Some of the shops also have an extra floor upstairs, with an
apartment or two for rent at a low cost as an extra way to make some money in
the off seasons.

supplies miscellaneous accesories. On the third level of the mall is a jewelry

Books -N- Things
The book store, filled with soft music, has a comforting and welcoming
atmosphere. There are three cashiers standing behind their computers and cash
registers, lined up behind the counter, while a few other sales personnel walk
amongst the racks of books to assist those that enter and seem to be having
difficulty finding what they need. In addition to the many popular non-fiction
and fiction books, at the back of the door is what can be classified as a
section for knick-knacks. Accessories, jewelry, and supplies of almost every
kind can be found here.

of things in this place that are suprises already." She takes that first novel
she picked up and offers it to you.

>Eden shakes her head. "I'm done here for now, I think."

Ooh, so many sparklies for you to look at but not touch! Most of them look
incredibly expensive, but there are a few fairly cheap items for sale. The
sales staff eye you warily as you enter, with an almost stuffy, superior air.
Their noses couldn't be any higher even if they got caught on a fishhook and
yanked upwards. A rich royal carpet and pale yellow walls decorate this room,
while the rest of your attention is drawn to the various pretty sparklies held
in glass cases. At the center of the room is a rather large, heart shaped
emerald with the sign: "Not for sale" hanging over it. A note over the counter
by the cashier reads, '"We do Estimations and Customizations."

Food Court
The varying aroma of multicultural dishes assail your senses, coming from the
wide variety of restaurants and yogurt stands lining this branch of the mall.
Culinary delights ranging from Italian cuisine such as pizza, to good old
fashioned Japanese cuisine, i.e. sushi and the like, mingle into one
stomach-grumbling aroma. There are several popular types of foods, and there is
almost anything you could crave for. Centered on the floor is a series of
dining tables and cushioned stools, most already filled with people having
their meals. Behind you is the doorway leading out to the hall and the
escalator back downstairs, while to the north lies what appears to be a large
window, allowing customers to gaze at the view.

tend to run in unusual social circles."

>Ryan eats quickly and crudely, in comparison. About halfway through his meal,
he asks, "... Mind if I ask you a personal question?"
>Eden is caught a bit off guard by that, having been looking again past you to
the large window. She looks quickly back over to you, and shakes her head. "Not
at all. What is it?"

Eventually, he continues, "You're... rather quiet. Is there any real reason
why?"

head. "I know I am....I always have been, I think. It bothers you, right?"

anything that bothers you, please let me know."

before.

bar later, have to drop this stuff off at my place first. You can go on ahead,

a circular formation, not unlike an inverted U, the brickface does much to keep
the warmth in the mall. A set of revolving glass doors lead into and out of the

loose upon entry and exiting. A ramp leads down into the garage for employees

to and from the garage area. Behind you is the wide open space of the street.

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.

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

>Link is walking slowly down the street
>Eden is walking gracefully along behind Ryan, looking mostly up at the patchy
sky.
>Link pauses to look over and wave, "Evening..."
>Ryan gives Link a short glance, or at least his wardrobe, and nods some sort of
non-comittal greeting ^^;
>Eden nods to Link. "Hello."
>Link asks, "How are you two?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck, and shrugs. "Pretty good."
>Eden says softly, "I'm all right."

continue the conversation.

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

>Ryan arrives, with Eden following behind.
>Eden asks softly, "How long have you been here, Ryan?"
>Ryan hmms? "Depends on what you mean by 'here'... if you mean this time period,
since I was born. This city? About 4 months."
>Eden asks softly, "I meant this city. Do you know anyone who was born here?"
>Ryan opens his mouth to speak, then pauses. "Actually... no."

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.

[Things : Holy Hand Grenade(#3855), and Smiley ]
>Fly is being held prisoner in a jar ;.; Well Rachel poked holes in the lid, but
still..it's..it's inhumane! and cruel!
>Ryan walks in, followed by Eden. "Heyah..."
>Rachel has a big pickle jar on the bar in front of her. Inside are two
chopsticks -- and one ticked off fly. ^_-
>Rachel says, "Hi, Ryan. Hello, Eden."
>You're darn right it's ticked off! It bips against the jar again
*bipbipbuzzbiptinktinkbipbipbipbuzz!*
>Ryan takes a seat at the bar. There has to be IC here somewhere, right?
>Eden smiles a little. "Hello, Rachel. How are you?"
>Rachel asks, "Okay. How are you tonight?"
>Cloud looks up, just a second after he spoke Ryan's name, eyes widening. What a
coincidence...
>Ryan (OOC) It's a talent ^_-
>Fly buzzes furiously.
>Ryan smiles at everyone present. Well, okay, Rachel. "Got a little Christmas
shopping done, at least."
>Eden says, "I'm all right. I wanted to show you something."
>Cloud indicates Ryan. "Rachel?" he asks, eyeing the jar.
>Fly buzzes.
>Ryan blinks, and points at himself. "What'd I do now?"
>Rachel says, "Okay, Eden. Just a second. Ryan, would you look at this fly? I
caught it buzzing around in here. The odd thing is some girl who was in here
swatted it dead on and it didn't even hurt it."
>Ryan sweatdrops, and takes the jar O.o; . o O ( ............ )
>Fly shakes a tiny fist. Buzz!
>Rachel turns to Eden. "What did you want to show me?"
>Ryan sweatdrops again. "Looks like a fly to me... sheesh, if it's THAT big a
deal, just put the thing in the oven for a bit."
>Rachel says, "No."
>Ryan hmms?
>Fly buzzes to itself. Hmf.
>Eden reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small green globe: a materia,
recognizably enough. "I'm planning to learn how to use it."
>Rachel asks, "What is it?"
>Ryan sets the jar down. He doesn't want to look at a fly O.o;
>Fly doesn't wanna look at you either, so there. Buzz.
>Eden says, "It's a materia. It allows a person to use magic."
>Ryan . o O ( Is that all I'm good for around here? Looking at bugs? I'm an
archaeologist dammit, not an entomologist... =.=; )
>Link has arrived.
>Link glances around briefly, then slips out again
>Link heads out the front door.
>Link has left.
>Fly flexes its wings. Are you gonna let it out anytime soon Rachel? O:)
>Ryan sure ain't gonna.
>Rachel says, "Okay, it's one of those things. I still don't get exactly what
they are, but I know they use them to do magic with."
>Rachel looks very uneasy about this, especially with how she says the word
'magic'.
>Fly will buzz at you while you sleep Ryan.
>Eden asks softly, "Cait Sith explained them as part of the planet's native
energy....is something wrong?"
>Ryan is carrying his blaster rifle. And you're trapped in a jar. Don't push
your luck, bug.
>Rachel says, "I'm just not at all comfortable with the idea of magic. Mainly
because I don't understand it. Not to mention the hell it plays with threat
levels."
>Cloud looks up at Rachel, watching her quietly, listening.
>Eden asks softly, "What do you mean?"
>Rachel says, "I mean, like that redhead that comes in here, Lina. To look at
her, either you or I could probably take her down without raising a sweat --
hand to hand, without suits or anything. But she can apparently blow up this
city anytime she feels like it."
>Rachel says, "That's what I mean. You can't see it or tell who has it and who
doesn't."
>Eden says, "Such things were possible in our home, too, though. It isn't as
though we always had scanning equipment with us."
>Eden says, "Those who I have seen make much use of magic here have been quite
obvious about it."
>Rachel says, "True. But back home, a short redhead couldn't blow up downtown
Osaka all by herself. And a tac nuke is hard to conceal on your person."
>Eden says, "(OOC) And if I see one more desc with "radiates/conveys power" in
it, I think I'm going to be sick."
>Ryan comments, apparently deciding to interject into the discussion, "Like
orbital laser cannons or concealed robots are much better? Just don't be going
paranoid, this place is pretty peaceful..."
>Ryan (OOC) Oh? Who's had that this time? x.x
>Cloud speaks up quietly, looking at Rachel. "This town has always has materia,
Rachel. Those who can't do magic on their own, has the aid of materia."
>Eden says, "(OOC) Every major villain or would-be on the MUCK seems to."
>Ryan (OOC) only 'conveys sexiness' ^_-
>Fly (OOC) snerks.
>Rachel says, "Whatever. I guess part of waht I don't like about it is not
understanding how it works. I mean, there's something about somebody pointing
their finger and saying some gibberish, or concentrating on an oversized
marble, and having something unexplainable happen. It's, well, creepy."
>Eden peers at her materia. "Really?"
>Ryan smirks. "I'm sure half the wizards around here would say the same thing
about a laser cannon."
>Rachel says, "But a laser cannon I can at least draw you a diagram of. It has
a power source, and the laser itself, and probably some kind of targeting
system."
>Eden says, "I don't know how any of those work, though."
>Rachel says, "It makes sense. That marble doesn't."
>Ryan hmms. "I'm sure those magic thingies are the same way. Maybe on the
subatomic level, but there has to be a pattern somewhere."
>Eden says, "I could draw as much of a diagram of this materia, and understand
no less."
>Hawkeye has arrived.
>Cloud thinks quietly. "You should talk to Blue about it... he was doing a study
on materias."
>Hawk saunters in through the doorway, pausing to hunch over and flick a rose to
both ladies present in a whirl. He then makes his way towards the bar,
stretching with a broad grin. -Too- broad a grin, maybe.
>Ryan blinks at THAT little display. I think you've caught Ryan's attention.
o.=;
>Eden catches the rose reflexively, looking curiously to Ryan.
>Cloud looks up at the person entering. The roses he disregards, as they're
really none of his business.
>Nakago has arrived.
>Ryan blinks at Eden's turn to him. He shrugs in reply, not sure what to make of
it, himself.
>Rachel catches her rose, looks at it for a second, then perches it over her
right ear.
>Eden watches Hawkeye as he steps up to the bar.
>Hawk clicks his heels together, landing neatly on a barstool with an inaudible
thunk. He plops his elbows down on the counter resting his chin on his wrists.
He eyes that ever-so-popular speck on the wall burned in from so many people
staring at it. Unconsciously, of course.
>Ryan grumbles something to himself. Now Ryan'll have to get more daring to
compete, y'know. Yeesh. Luckily, his attention is momentarily diverted by the
other arrival. Sheesh, how many attractive men can you have in one room?
Nakago
Hair blond, gently robust and flowing over his head, and two large strands
tucked behind his ears. His mouth unsmiling and emotionless, face nevertheless
is strong and handsome, sporting angular ends and smooth curves, of which he
can use to his advantage. Upon the man's forehead, the blue symbol of Kokoro,
Heart, may appear. In spite of this, his cold blue eyes appear heartless,
resembling chips of ice...if he flashes a knowing smirk, or just gives one a
silent stare, he conveys the sense of a non-emotional void, along with an image
of dark determination, and power.
He is very tall, clearly over six feet, and this doesn't help soften his
already intimidating demeanor. He's smartly clothed in modern apparel, or at
least he's not in his forbidding iron armor. There is a bright white shirt,
draped over his large shoulders, which comes down into the cloth belt of his
waist. It is noticed that the shirt is open at the chest, and allows a view of
a muscular torso. A strange item is hung on a necklace on his chest... His
pants are pale blue, and sleek, stretching all the way to nicely made leather
boots.
Carrying:
Midgaard City Map
>More?
>Nakago pushes open the swinging doors of the bar, and slowly steps inside,
making a goodly distance into the room. His eyes carefully scan the room,
giving the appearance of searching for something. o O (...At least the Suzaku
seishi cleaned up after himself..)
>You whisper, "... He has it in his @desc n.n;" to Eden.
>Eden whispers, "Eden nodnods. "I saw it last night. x.x" to you.
>Subaru has arrived.
>Subaru arrives, with Gokou following behind.
>Eden frowns over to Nakago, then looks quickly back to her table.
>Subaru skids in, looking about.
>Ryan . o O ( Yeesh, getting crowded already... shoulda flirted with Rachel
earlier. )
l sub
Subaru
Your looking at a slender young girl about the age of 17. Her brown eyes
look around from behind her hood, as she wears a long brown dirty tattered
cloak, covering most of her body. As she walks, you can hear the clanks
of the geta she wears around her feet, her feet bare otherwise. She finally
draws back the hood, a full mane of long blue hair falling out from her head,
held up in a ponytail by a red ribbon in a bow. Her long blue hair ends around
the beginning of her thighs. She carries around two swords with her, attached
to a belt on her waist. the handles of the sword poke out from behind her
cloak. She wears black fingerless leather gloves, tight around her hands.
Subaru dresses in a sleeveless white shirt (the sleeves cut off it seems)
and a pair of cutoff shorts, the shorts (daisy duks) close enough so that
you can see the pockets that are -supposed- to be hidden. Her long slender
legs are shown, a big muscular like a martial artist should have. The shirt,
mentioning of 'MilK', fits around her loosely, as her stomach can be seen
as well. At her perfect height of 5'6", she usually doesn't speak up,
staying quiet most of the time. What an interesting Amazon! oops, did
I forget to mention that? ^^; oh well.
Carrying:
sheathe1, sheathe2, and Dufflebag
>Cloud turns back to his whiskey, the thread of the conversation lost within the
sudden influx of new arrivals.
>Ryan will be good, though. He's not jealous. Really. And Tifa doesn't like
fights in here anyway.
>Nakago's eyes turn to the side, at the noise near the door. ...new arrivals.
He ignores it, as he continues walking through the chairs and tables to reach
Cloud. Considering the man and his whiskey with cold eyes, he smiles briefly,
before asking in a tone that passes for curiosity. "Are you Cloud Strife?..."
>Subaru walks over to the nearest table, sitting down at it and kicking back and
relaxing fully.
>Rachel looks at Nakago for a moment.
>Cloud blinks, looking away from his whiskey, to survey Nakago with a curious
gaze...
>Pagan has arrived.
>Pagan calmly wanders inside... looking like he just woke up.
>Ryan raises his eyebrow at Nakago's query, but doesn't comment. . o O ( Why's
he looking for Cloud? )
>Subaru asks, "hey, do they serve 12 course eentrees here?"
>Cloud quietly nods, his eyes narrowing cautiously. "I'm Cloud." He tilts his
head, asking, "And you are...?"
>Rachel says, "Not unless Kazuo's in the kitchen."
>Hawk doesn't even seem to be trying, either. He pulls out a dice bowl from his
vest and proceeds to make a few practace rolls on the counter, testing his luck
while killing time.
>Subaru asks, "is that the chef?"
>Ryan . o O ( This isn't much more exciting then sitting at home... -.-; )
>Subaru . o O ( I wonder how many hamburgers I can get... )
>Rachel says, "One of them. But he's not on tonight."
>Subaru begins to count her money using the ainu language, which her player
doesn't know, so won't bother amazing you guys with it. just know she does it.
>Nakago pulls out a chair, in order to make himself appear more congenial and
friendly. Speaking in a deep bass voice, he chuckles, and nods to Cloud
curtly. "I had believed it was you... I am known as Nakago.." He watches Cloud
for any reaction to that name. There shouldn't be...
>Ryan scratches the side of his head. Not familiar with it. But he's always
peery of bishonen, they make him look bad.
>Cloud has absolutely no reaction, seeing as he has no idea who Nakago is.
"Known as...?" He quietly rubs his neck. "So... you have another name? I don't
believe in doing business with aliases."
>Eden looks....even hostile toward Nakago...well, as far as Eden goes.
>Hawk frowns down at the bowl...five dice, with five pips showing. "Eyes of the
Dark One..." That can be the winning throw in some games, the losing one in
others he turns around briefly...and spots Nakago. Once more, his luck is being
a bit too literal for words tonight.
>Nakago smiles darkly at that, not making any response to Cloud's bluff manner.
"I have another name, but the name I am associated with, is Nakago... no
other." He folds his hands on the table, carefully making eye contact with
Cloud, and he does appear honest and forthright. "I only had a question for
you, which I had hoped you would answer."
>Ryan decides to stand up, and walk over to Eden and Rachel's table, partly to
get a better look at Cloud and company, and partly just to be sitting next to a
pretty lady or two.
>Cloud remains seated on his stool, nodding at Nakago to continue the
conversation, looking somewhat interested.
>Subaru grumbles softly to herself, wondering which chef is on duty now, since
she can only get probably 8 hamburgers with whats in the pouch she recieved.
>Ryan smiles at Rachel. At least that little discussion about magic fizzled out.
"What's up with you, anyway?"
>Woody isn't serving yet, just poke the sleepin' barman in the kitchen.
>Nakago closes his eyes, and continues, speaking frankly and carefully, being
sure not to give himself away. "I have become aware of items called 'materia',
which are capable of being utilized for extraordinary feats." His speech is
almost in a monotone, but gives stronger emphasis on key words. "Unfortunately,
those who have any knowledge of it are few, and it has come to my attention
that you are well acquainted with it..."
>Ryan ~definately~ keeps his attention on Nakago now... Well, his listening
attention anyway. His eyes are busy watching the ladies. But that's another
matter entirely.
>Cloud sighs. Again, materia, the topic of conversation. He frowns, tilting his
head at Nakago, eyes narrowing. "Materia are pretty common in stores." The
REALLY rare materia, on the other hand...
>Subaru stands up, sneaking quickly to the back to the place where she can get
some food for herself.
>Nakago smiles again, shadowy. "But I don't care about the commercial aspect of
materia." He regards Cloud again, holding his gaze. "I'm curious as to the
basic nature of materia itself. What allows it to do such things?" Interest
sparks in his eyes.
>Ryan sweatdrops . o O ( Crimminy, why does everyone want one of those
thingies alluva sudden? )
>They're all the rage!
>Hawk's eyes light up. Mirraculous things? Hrm. Might wanna grab a few of those
before he leaves town, then. o/~
>Cloud says, "... I'm just an ex- SOLDIER. I don't know much about what it does,
I just use it. As far as I know, it's concentrated Mako energy, which creates
magical effects." He frowns, wondering HOW the patrons suddenly developed
superhearing.
>Ryan always pays close attention to you, at least after you ran him through
n.n;
>Pagan staggers inside a bit... a bit drunkenly from his sleepy condition. He
wanders on over to the bar... plopping down on a stool rather tiredly.
>Nakago turns his head, his eyes looking thoughtfully at the table. A few
seconds pass, as he considers what Cloud has told him. Now, he asks Cloud in a
considerate tone, no pressure displayed in his voice, "And what would Mako
energy be?" Maybe he's a mystic scholar of some sort? He doesn't look the
part...
>Marller has arrived.
>Subaru comes back out of the back, a whole mess of hamburgers in her hands.
currently broke after giving the once agian sleeping chef in the back all her
money, she goes back to her table and sets the food down, beginning to chow
down quickly.
>Ryan . o O ( Yeesh, maybe I should start going to the cafe again O.o; )
>Hawk has always had it...you don't become -the- Thief of Naba'al scheduling
your 'buisness appointments' from villiage gossip. At least he makes no show of
listening in, of course. He just smiles a little broader, rolling the dice once
more. Six and six. o/~
>Subaru waves to the new person while eating as politely as she can.
which isn't much
>Cloud simply motions Nakago closer, seeing as he really doesn't want to have
everyone in the world suddenly make him their business.,
>Eden looks over to Pagan as he enters, the orders herself a coke.
>Pagan yaaaaaaawns... then leans forward to rest his arms on the bar,
"Mmmmmm..... sleepy..." -.-
>Marller enters, pushing aside one poor NPC who had the misfortune to try to be
getting out at the same time she was coming in. She steps aside soon
afterwards, her glance casting about until settling upon Cloud, though she
appears content with only observing. For the time.
>Nakago leans his head closer to Cloud's face, his eyes narrowed in
concentration. "Yes?" He understands that others may be listening in, so he's
willing to do his part, moving carefully...
>Cloud (OOC) slams his head on the counter. I was just sitting here minding my
own business and suddenly I'm the center of attention! ;_;
>Marller OOCly grins. "Hey, everyone loves the psycho."
>Ryan sweatdrops . o O ( Why am I suddenly getting bad vibes? O.o; ) Maybe
it has something to do with the bad guys with power levels WAY over his head
sitting within spitting distance.
>Ryan (OOC) glomps Rachel and Eden while everyone looks at Cloud ^-^
>Pagan (OOC) comfortably enjoys being the anti-attention guy. n.n
>Eden (OOC) whees?
>Cloud doesn't mean to be majorly rude or anything to Nakago, which is why he's
whispering it low, so as to avoid embarrassing him. "... Mako energy is what
this town runs on," he says in an "This is a stupid question, but I'm trying to
be polite" way.
>Subaru finishes her food quickly and lays her head down on the table in her
arms, looking about quietly now from her perch at her table.
>Rachel . o O ( Mako energy? )
>Ryan . o O ( Getting a bit crowded in here for my tastes. Can't flirt without
making myself look like an idiot now... o.= )
>Nakago smiles, very amused, sitting up. "You speak of the energy that reactors
in the Shinra Corporation generates? This self-same energy allows for
Materia?" He stands now, and inclines his head to Cloud. "Arigatou.." His
question answered, his eyes turn to Ryan, who seems to be standing uncomforably
close. A dark chuckle sounds, as Nakago is well aware of what Ryan's devious
intentions would be. He starts walking away.
>Ryan is sitting next to Rachel and Eden, actually. Though he is paying close
attention ^_^
>Nakago (OOC) Fooeys! "I try my best!" n.n
>Marller's moving forwards the moment Nakago starts walking away, approaching
Cloud herself now(Hey, she took a number. Probably from someone else, but..).
When she gets close enough, she speaks up, enough to address him. "Good
evening, my patient."
>Rachel watches Marller warily.
>Ryan wasn't even paying attention that time, and overheard that. Luckily, he
was watching Nakago's departure, and so shakes that off as a misspeak.
>Subaru yawns gently into her hand, beginning to wonder to herself if she'll
meet anyone she knows in this city.
>Cloud sighs, watching Nakago go,before he sees Marller approach. He sighs
slowly. "... Hello."
>Eden mumbles, "..... ..... ..... .." to Rachel.
>Well, there's Toyota and Nissan and...
>*giggle*
>Subaru (OOC) sends the spoofer to bed with no supper now.
>Rachel mumbles, "..... guy who ..... ..... .." to Eden.
>Ryan looks at Eden and Rachel. He really doesn't want to hang around here, but
he has two cute ladies to sit next to. What a conflict of interests! ;.;
>Nakago pushes open the swinging doors, and stands there, with them open, one
hand holding them ajar. He looks around the room again. Someone had been
watching him with hostile eyes, and he wasn't charmed by it. Who watched him?
He observes the room carefully...
>Eden nods to Rachel.
>Ryan kept his eyes on Rachel, really, he's in the clear. I mean, why would he
look at you when there are women around? n.n
>Marller chuckles to herself.."Such a friendly greeting. One might think you
weren't pleased to see me." She narrows the remaining distance, until she's
next to him or as close as reasonably possible if other people are in the way.
"So what would the case be...hmn?"
>Alexander has arrived.
>Alex wanders down the stairs, walking over towards the bar.
>Cloud is at a stool, keeping his voice very low, trying to avoid drawing
attention. "... Nothing." Okay, denial.
>Eden is looking clearly to Rachel now, looking concerned, perhaps worried, but
not at all hostile...she doesn't even look capable of hostility.
>Ryan is here to protect ya, don't worry ^_- And yes, one can taste the
testosterone in the air.
>"Nothing," Marller repeats. "Perhaps we should make it something. It's about
time we had the next in our potentially long series of discussions, you know."
>Cloud somehow managed to lose track of Nakago while Marller was approaching.
Can you really blame him?
>Okay, Ryan did give ya nasty looks Nakago, but those were mostly jealous. I
mean, you're one of the few guys around with better hair then him ;.;
>Subaru stands up, deciding to leave cause there are too many people around
here. aah, the life of the wandering monk..(okay, wandering amazon). She looks
about before she does, waving to Gokou (whose busy oocly) and wandering off.
>Alex steps behind the bar, taking up a clean towel, scanning the room...
>Subaru heads out the front door.
>Nakago's gaze passes over the inhabitants of the Bar, carefully and slowly.
But there was no one, except Rachel, who is staring at him with a ...look, that
was gazing at him in that manner. His eyebrows raise at Rachel, but he makes
no move, thinking that it didn't matter. Any person hostile was only worthy of
note if they could fare well against him in combat, which weren't many, or if
he could make use of them. There were none. So he turns, and walks outside.
(pushing his hair out of his eyes, poor Ryan. n.n)
>Marller, of course, can blame anyone for not paying proper attention to her.
Whether or not she indicates it is another matter. ;) She leans her back
against the barcounter, looking at Cloud with a patient, but questioning
expression.
>Cloud looks back at Marller. "... Now?" He doesn't look too pleased with the
prospect, perhaps because he's managed to work things out with Tifa, and had a
discussion with Lyrae on relaxing.
>Ryan could take you in combat! Easy! ... Well, at least until you started
throwing Chi around.
>Nakago (OOC) chuckles.
>Nakago heads out the front door.
>Alex opens the refridgerator underneath the bar, removing out a bottle of
spring water, taking a sip...
>Marller mmn-hmmns. "Unless you have a better time to further discuss the
salvation of your mind."
>Cloud shakes his head at Marller. "... things are improving."
>Ryan puts his hand on Rachel's shoulder. "Hey, y'wanna go for a walk or
something?" To tell the truth, he's creeped out by Marller... Ryan looks at
Eden too, perhaps wondering of she wants to come.
>You just want a menage a trois, Ryan.
>Derek pauses by the door . o O ( Cripes..this place is packed.. ) He scratches
the side of his head, seeing who's here..
>As well you should be, Ryan. Being somewhat close to Cloud, you're on the hit
parade later too. ^_-
>Ryan is tougher'n he looks. Really. Please don't hurt me. ;.;
>Rachel says, "Sure, Ryan."
>Marller says, "But they are not resolved. Correct?"
>Derek says, "(OOC) Wuss.."
>Cloud cautiously comments, "No, but time will tell... if they've been laid to
rest."
>Ryan stands up, still waiting for a reply of sorts from Eden.
>Alex setys his bottle down, wiping his hands on his towel...
>Marller smirks a bit..somewhat meanly. "Or if you lay someone -else- to rest?
Or are at the least told that you did?"
>Eden looks over to Rachel, as though wondering if she wants Eden to come as
well.
>Cloud says, "... Sephiroth has been laid to rest..."
>Musashiden has arrived.
>Metal has arrived.
>Brave Fencer Musashi peeks his head in the door... o.o
>Marller asks, "And this changes the circumstances for -you-...how?"
>Derek walks over, nodding to Ryan, Rachel, and Eden as he passes by them, "Hey
guys.." Cloud's comment gets his attention, so he looks over at him with one
eyebrow arched
>Alex nods to the one peeking in. "Irasshaimase."
>Rachel gives Eden a nod, with a slight smile.
>Metal comes in, a few paces after the sword-toting midgit. He peers around
curiously, a bit of a punkish look on his face...
>Ryan wants to get out of here. Marller gives him the major creeps. He's seen her
in 'action' before...
>Brave Fencer Musashi-blinks- .. uh .. sure .. whatever! ^_^ He looks around
intently, eyeing the bar.. still not coming inside fully
>Jill has arrived.
>Derek blinks, suddenly remembering something else. He turns back around and
heads for Ryan's chair, "Hey..got a minute to talk before you go? Or..maybe I
can ask you something outside?"
>Eden rises beside Ryan, then, smiling slightly.
>Pagan shivers a bit... getting quite uncomfortable around the huge crowd,
himself, now. He stands up... tucking his hands away in his pockets... calmly
wanders outside.
>Pagan heads out the front door.
>Ryan grumbles something in Derek's direction. "Outside, yes."
>Rachel falls in line behind you.
>Derek heads out the front door.
>Eden falls in line behind you.
>Ryan zips outside. At least he isn't Lyrae; she'd be climbing the walls in here
by now.

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

>Derek . o O ( Sheesh..those three sure have gotten to be good friends. Can't
remember the last time I didn't see them together... )
>Derek waits close to the door of the bar, his arms crossed in thought.
>Eden walks out alongside Rachel and Ryan.
>Ryan glances over at Derek. "What's up?"
>Pagan quietly looks up from his position against the wall... watching the
little group curiously.
>Derek looks over, his expression obviously looking like he's been feeling a lot
of stress lately, "Did you find anything out about Lyrae since last we talked?"
He scowls, "Because I've got a bad feeling about something.."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "I got the same feeling, yo? Last I checked,
she's okay for the moment, but I dunno where she is now..."
>Rachel asks, "What's up with Lyrae?"
>Ryan lets Derek elaborate. Y'know, if you keep interrupting his flirting like
this, he might start getting mad at ya, Derek n.-
>Derek nods, "You know a girl named Rika? Well...she and I have nearly gone at
each other's throats the past two days. She keeps warning me to stay away from
Lyrae...oh, and get this.. She thinks Esmerelda is a charming person."
>Ryan sweatdrops, and blanches. "That's not a good sign..."
>Ryan cracks his knuckles. "If she gives ya any trouble, though, lemme know..."
>Eden frowns, listening.
>Alexander comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
>Alex wanders out of the bar, turning up the collar on his coat...
>Derek shakes his head, "No...if she gives me trouble, I'm giving her a lesson
myself.."
>Ryan peers at Derek. "Nothing fatal, yo? We aren't murderers..."
>Rachel says, "I've seen this Rika a few times now. Nasty witch."
>Alex's ears turn towards the conversation atthe mention of the word 'murderers'
>Eden says, "I don't really know her."
>Rachel says, "She seems to get off on other people's pain and misery."
>Derek blinks at the sudden usage of 'yo' from Ryan, "No..I wouldn't kill her.
You know I'm not like that." He lets his arms fall to his sides, "Well..I
thought I'd share the info. Before you go off and become occupied.."
>Ryan scratches the side of his head. "I don't Lyrae'll get into any real
trouble... at least, not for a while. But keep a close eye on this Rika girl,
okay?" . o O ( We haven't heard from Esmerelda in a long time... this might
be a sign that she's getting active again. )
>Eden frowns again at that. "Oh...another one like that."
>Derek smirks a little, "I know. Maybe you could pass that little tidbit Rika
said about Esmerelda to Lyrae. That'd probably make her think twice about
hanging around her."
>Ryan hmms, and rubs his chin. "If I see her, yeah..."
>Derek says, "Since she won't talk to me.."
>Ryan doesn't reply to that.
>Derek says, "(OOC) Stop not doing stuff, Ryan..it's annoying."
>Ryan (OOC) o.=;
>Derek (OOC) grins, "Say what's on your mind.."
>Rachel looks a little pained by Derek's comment.
>Ryan (OOC) . o O ( Women women gold money women women gold... ) *.*
>Rachel (OOC) @swats Ryan.
>Derek smiles, despite what he just said, "Oh, another thing.. Have any of you
seen Kim lately?"
>Ryan (OOC) ow's @.;
>Rachel says, "No, sorry."
>Ryan blinks. "Kim...? Actually, no I haven't..."
>Eden shakes her head. "I haven't, either."
>Derek frowns, "Damn...now I'm starting to get worried.."
>Ryan nods. "They usually hang out together, right...?"
>Pagan slowly lifts a hand up to Derek after hearing his question... obviously
listening in as he states, "I have..."
>Eden nods. "Often, yes."
>Derek says, "Who? Kim and Lyrae? Well, I talked to Kim a few days ago and she
said that Lyrae was even giving HER the cold shoulder.."
>Ryan blinks. "That IS odd..."
>Derek blinks and looks at Pagan, "You have? Where was this?" o_o
>Pagan eehs and shrugs, "Out and around here a bit... can't completely remember
but I remember nodding in her passing..."
>Derek sighs and nods, "Thanks..at least nobody's run off with her.." u_u;
>Derek . o O ( I sure as hell hope not.. )
>Ryan facepalms . o O ( And just when it was shaping up to be a quiet week.
Why me? )
>Eden smiles. "Then that is good news, right?"
>Derek nods, "Yeah, but I still wish I knew where she was, Eden.." u_u
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "I'll look for 'em... no guarantees, though."
. o O ( Damn, now I don't even feel like going for a walk. )
>Alexander has left.
>Derek (OOC) nyahahahas! "I ruined the mood! Whoohoo!" ^_^ v
>Yeah, now he just feels like making out.
>Cait_Sith arrives from the south.
>Ryan (OOC) o.=;
>Jill comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
>Jill says, "Whew... that was weird."
>Ryan sighs. "Anything else?"
>Pagan glances up at Jill as she wanders out.. giving a little nod towards her.
>Cait Sith's Mog bounds slowly from the south... . o O ( Hm...lotsa people... )
>Derek shakes his head, "Nothing else I can think of.. Just wanted to tell you
what I found out."
>Jill . o O ( ....... )
>Ryan nods to Derek.
>Jill looks a little faint as she sees Cait Sith and his Mog coming up the
street.
>Eden is standing near Ryan amidst the crowd.
>Derek glances over from talking to Ryan and grins at the bounding..er, cat.
"Heya, Cait.."
>Pagan has disconnected.
>Cait Sith waves to Derek. "Hi Derek! What's up? =^^= "
>Jill leans against the wall of the bar. @_@
>Eden says, "Hello, Cait Sith."
>Derek shrugs, putting a hand in a pocket, "Not much. I was just sharing some
information with Ryan and the ladies.."
>Cait Sith waves to Eden =^^=
>Cait Sith wiggles an ear. "Not another monster, demon, or bad guy, I hope..."
>Ryan says, "No, just all of the above, most likely..." He grumbles.
>Derek smirks, "Ryan here's just being pessimistic. We're just worried about how
one of our friends has been acting lately.."
>Ryan raises his eyebrow. "Just one?"
>Derek asks, "Oh, by the way, have you seen Kim at all, Cait?"
>Cait Sith urghs. "Well, unless it's alltaken care of soon, you might have to
handle it yourselves...oh, not a monster?...Anyway...I'm going away for a
couple weeks...gonna make up on sales elsewhere and do a little materia
hunting...Kim? Sorry, not lately..."
>Derek frowns, "Thanks anyway, Cait Sith.."
>Ryan . o O ( I'll never get used to that thing O.o; )
>Derek blinks and looks at Ryan's comment, "What, am I missing someone?"
>Cait Sith nods.
>Derek (OOC) hasn't been around for Cloud's psycho circus act.. >_>
>Ryan blinks back at Derek. "Yeah, Cloud's been acting a teensy bit loopy
lately..."
>Cait Sith blinks. "It's Cloud? Again?"
>Yuffie arrives from the south.
>Derek says, "He has? Nobody told me about it.." o_o;
>Yuffie walks in from the south, apparantly looking for someone.
>Ryan sweatdrops. Well, at least I got the scoop for once. "Seems fine now,
though..."
>Derek looks down the street and smiles, "Hey, Yuffie!" He waves..
>Maruah arrives from the south.
>Jill leaves south.
>Yuffie glances over at Derek, then waves. ^_^ "Heya, Derek. Have ya seen Kim
'round?"
>Derek blinks, "No, I'm looking for her myself, Yuff.." o_o
>Yuffie pouts slightly. "Mou! She hasn't even called me in a week or so! I
wonder what's up?"
>Maruah jerks to a sudden halt and goes wide-eyed at the sight of so many
people. "Oh my..." she says aloud. And look, she's got new clothing on, for
those that have seen her before. ^n.n^ She settles in somewhere near the edge
of the crowd, peering around and just listening in.
>l mar
Maruah
Tawny, yellow-golden eyes are lit by a constant, wicked delight of life.
Sharp and distinguished, Maruah's fair features do nothing to still to feeling
that she is far more than the half human she appears to be. Her ears perk
alertly out of a shock of red hair, pointed and tipped in black like the vixen
whose features she echos. The style of her hair is kept trimmed to frame her
face and head with the same chin-length cut. Except for a single, flowing
cascade under the back of her hair, which is kept tied back and falls to her
waist.
Currently she is sporting nothing less than the school girl's sailor fuku. A
brown, pleated skirt spreads to cover down to a point just past her knees.
Crew socks are pulled up nearly to that hem, covered in turn by a smart looking
and stylish pair of mid-high sneakers. A glimpse of some body suit underneath
the uniform might be caught by those paying particular attention to such
details, but just what it is for is skillfully covered by the play of fabric
covering. A white blouse is tucked into the waist of the brown skirt.
Underneath the collar flap of the uniform has been tied a deeply red scarf, all
part of the school uniform colors of Gateway Academy. Some tailoring has been
made to the outfit, for though the uniform was intended to fit the normal
human, compensation was made for a long, bushy fox tail to sway around.
Carrying:
Packbell's Head, and Kinu-Batsu Kami
>Derek frowns, "I dunno, kiddo.. Maybe we should go look for her." He looks at
Ryan, "Well, that's good to hear..I'll try talking to him later. You three
enjoy your walk, eh?"
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Why don't you two look for her together? If something is up,
might be better to stay in groups, y'know?"
>Yuffie nods, quickly. "That's what I've been doing! But I haven't seen a hair
of her since we went dancing."
>Derek mumbles, "Yeah, you just want to get the ladies alone, right? Heh..." to
Ryan.
>Derek mumbles, "..... .. you ..... want ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
.. ..... .. Heh .. .. .." to Ryan.
>Ryan sweatdrops again. Every time I hear about you two I get the wrong idea
O.o;
>Derek smirks
>Ryan bops Derek on the head.
>Yuffie blinks at Ryan. o.o
>Maruah wanders on over to Ryan and Derek and Yuffie, "Who ya looking for?" she
asks happily. Yes, in the next breath, she'll be offering to help. ^^
>Derek smacks Ryan in the arm
>Cait Sith blinks. "Oh, wait, I know! I completely forgot! If you have anything
on you that belongs to Kim or has value to her, I can try to pinpoint her! =^^=
"
>Derek says, "You know I'm right.."
>Ryan will avoid escalting this little engagement. For the moment. As Maruah
speaks up, he glances over at her. "...?" Luckily, he's used to non-humans.
>Yuffie walks up to Cait Sith and points at herself. ^_^
>Eden bows to Yuffie. "Hello."
>Cait Sith smiles. "OK, lay it on me!"
>Ryan blinks at Yuffie's current reaction. You enjoy messing with Ryan's head,
doncha? O.o;
>Derek says, "Uhm..Yuffie's been around Kim quite a bit, Cait."
>Yuffie nods, smiling. "Hai!"
>Derek grins, like he knows something other folks might not..
>Cait Sith ohs. "It's you, yourself? Well, I suppose that could work =^^= Let me
touch your forehead..."
>Maruah smiles... no -beams- straight at Ryan's puzzlement, "Can I help?" she
asks him, "I'm real good at finding things. Why, my brother's always burying
stuff in the cave, and I've gotta sometimes use them, so..." she's off rambling
again, babble, babble, babble. ^_^
>Yuffie straightens up for Cait Sith. o.o
>Cait Sith moves his Mog nearer, and leans forward so he can reach...the cat
touches two fingers to Yuffie's forehead and closes his eyes, concentrating...
>Derek . o O ( I don't know how much she was touching her forehead...but maybe
it's just a focal point or something... ^_^ )
>Ryan sweatdrops. Why can't I hang around normal people? ;.;
>Oh, like -you're- normal?
>Cait Sith nods. "Now...picture Kim strongly in your mind..."
>Alexander comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
>( I just wanna hang around normal people so that I look better by comparison!
;.; )
>Yuffie pictures a big BUFF Kim in her mind, lifting a huge ton weight. -.o
>Derek grins at Yuffie's face
>Cait Sith concentrates a few moments, then nods slowly... "I can see her..."
>Maruah's chatter cuts off as she realizes that she just -might- be boring Ryan.
^^; "Um, anyway, please let me help! Er... who's Kim?" looks like she picked up
the name during the other's conversation.
>She's in the shower *BAP* Hentai!
>Yuffie keeps concentrating. >.<
>Derek answers Maruah's question casually, "A friend.."
>Cait Sith (OOC) Woohoo! =HH=
>Steam rises from Yuffie's head.
>Cait Sith hrms. "It's a quiet place...safe...light in color...wait...I've been
in this place before..."
>Derek says, "Where?" He looks like he's ready to run off as soon as he hears
anything..
>Alexander has left.
>Yuffie blinks, looking at Cait Sith closely.
>Cait Sith nods, hesitating a moment... "Yes...it's...the hospital..."
>Derek asks, "WHAT?!?"
>Derek leaves south.
>Eden blinks. "Hospital? What happened to her?"
>Ryan blinks as Derek runs off. "...?"
>Cait Sith opens his eyes. "I don't know...I can't tell if anything is wrong at
all..."
>Yuffie seems stunned by that information. She just stands there, blinking.
"... is she visiting someone?"
>Eden looks over to Ryan. "Should we go there?"
>Cait Sith hms. "I see no one else..."
>Ryan decides to take off after Derek. At least he knows where he's going this
time. Sorry, he runs off before he hears you, Eden... follow if you like,
though.
>s
You depart to the south.
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.

>Eden arrives from the north.
>Eden runs south after Ryan.
>Ryan comes dashing through, only to skid to a halt as he sees who's present
here.
>Yuffie arrives from the north.
>Cait_Sith arrives from the north.
>Lyrae blinks at blurs zooming and out of the area. For crying out loud. She
turns back to Vincent, determined -not- to go nuts at the people
>Yuffie leaves south.
>Cait_Sith leaves south.
>To be honest? "If you were able, and Cloud willing, then perhaps triggering the
possession can be done tonight." Vincent replies. If not, he'll just go and
wing it alone, of course, but...
>Eden stops right behind Ryan, startled by his sudden stop.
>Lyrae raises an eyebrow, "You..-want- to trigger it?"
>Ryan's pony-tail goes flopping in the vortex of all the people running by
o.o;
Maruah arrives from the north.
>Lyrae looks uneasy. Why the heck would.. She sighs to herself and then nods,
"Very well, if I can be of service in that respect, I will accompany you.." She
looks at Rika, "We'll have to continue our conversation later, if you don't
mind?"
>Maruah bounces in after Ryan. Tee hee... Or she's just following the trend of
the crowd. Either way, she stops near Ryan to watch what Ryan watches... ^o.o^
>Ryan . o O ( It's Lyrae... and that Rika girl Derek said likes Esmerelda...
O.o; )
>Eden, of all people, breaks in. "Lyrae?"
>Ryan blinks turning to look at Eden. Didn't even notice her following.
>Rika-chan shrugs slowly. "I don't mind.... just be careful...", she says, as if
there were a hidden meaning to the the request.
>Vincent nods, "I do not wish it, but I want to see what this is." And to him,
that means seeing all of it that he can. He turns his attention to Eden as she
speaks out to Lyrae.
>Lyrae launches herself straight up about four feet, startled by Eden's voice.
Didn't hear or see her entering. Once gravity kicks in, she turns towards her
friend, with wide eyes. o O ( Geez these people need a cow bell. ) "Yes Eden?"
>Ryan . o O ( What the hell is going on!? ;.; )
>Maruah edges closer to Ryan, as if sensing his confusion. She leans out with
the intent to nuzzle his side in consolation. Don't worry, Ryan, Maruah's here.
^n.n^
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Eden walks up nervously to Lyrae. "I...didn't meen to frighten you..." She
glances southward and continues. "I wanted to tell you that..." . o O ( Does
she know already? Does she want to know? )
>Maruah (OOC) n.n v
>Ryan nearly leaps a foot as Maruah... erm... nuzzles him. I think the stress is
starting to get to our action hero o.O;
>Lyrae pushes her hood back fully. "Tell me what?" She questions, half warily,
half curiously.
>Eden says in a quick burst, "Kim's in the hospital but we don't know why yet."
She steps back quickly.
>Maruah awws, "Sorry." she replies to Ryan's reaction. She edges even closer,
as if to make up for startling him with a... well, another nuzzle. And
hopefully a little slurp. It's nothing personal, just how she comforts people
she happens to like. So much better than a hug or consoling pat, in her book.
>Lyrae stares at Eden. And says..absolutely..nothing. She just..goes stiff
slowly, as her eyes widen, bringing a hand to her mouth. o O ( ...Oh ..god.. it
was true..... it was true.. )
>Ryan just kinda stares down at Maruah O.o; At least he doesn't jump, this
time. He's effectively out of this conversation though, until he remembers what
he was doing.
>Vincent looks between the two women. Then, "If you need to go, then I hope you
find your friend well." he tells Lyrae, before turning to head the way he was
going, himself. He figures she will follow, or not, as needed.
>Eden takes another couple steps back, looking even more troubled by that. . o O
( I should have let Ryan say that. He's better at it. )
>Lyrae glances at Vincent..then closes her eyes. o O ( ...my fault.. )
>Maruah murrrs happily. "There, all better." she tells Ryan back, "Now, we'd
better go to see your friend, right?" she pokes at Ryan's side in hopes to get
him moving again. ^o.-^
>Lyrae reopens her eyes. "....thank you for telling me Eden." She utters very
softly. Then just as slowly, turns to follow Vincent.
>Lyrae stops leading Rika.
>Ryan . o O ( I really, really wish someone would clue me in on what's going on.
I've got some lady nuzzling me, Lyrae's going bonkers again... )
>Lyrae is not!
>Lyrae falls in line behind Vincent.
>Lyrae . o O ( ...all my fault.... )
>Ryan blinks as he gets poked. "Hrmm? Oh... um... yeah." Have to keep Derek out
of trouble, too.
>Eden nods slowly, and queitly asks, "Ryan?"
>You were saying, Lyrae?
>Ryan blinks turning to Eden. "...?"
>Eden asks softly, "Let's go?"
>..this doesnt count as bonkers you silly person ^_^
>Oh yes, you're ~perfectly~ sane -.-;
>Ryan nods to Eden, and dashes off to the south. He'll interrogate Lyrae later.
>s
You depart to the south.
** Walk cut **
Midgaard Hospital: Operation Room
Bare, antiseptic smelling and almost spooky. The lights of the operating room
seem to be focused upon specific places, leaving some parts in apparent shadow.
These places where the light illuminates are the places where incoming patients
go; placed under the grueling light so that doctors and nurses may work to save
their lives. A small room rests within an alcove; a ready room, for scrubbing
and donning of various sanitized equipment. Shelves and cabinets abound in the
room, storing to the ready hand any emergency supplies that might be called
for. A set of double doors leads out into the main corridor, and back to the
main part of the hospital.

>Ryan peeks his head in. Security? What security?
>Doctor Karigan nods, then goes to check Kim's medical chart.
>Mukki MD rushes in to grapply Ryan to the ground. THAT security!
>( I hate you o.o )
>Eden arrives from the outside corridor.
>Ryan blinks, scanning the scene (and the crowd). "What the...?"
>Derek would've taken them out himself, Ryan. He sits down carefully on the edge
of Kim's bed, resting his hand close to hers..
>Maruah arrives from the outside corridor.
>Yuffie slowly steps over to the side of Kim's bed, then sits down...
>Welcome to the ER, refreshments are to your left.
>Eden follows in immediately behind Ryan.
>Doctor Karigan's lips thin in a frown. "It appears she fell off a cliff...
she's suffering from broken bones as well as ruptured organs."
>Cait Sith winces...
>Ryan blinks as the Doc elaborates. "What? Where? When? How?" o.o And
sometimes 'why'?
>Derek asks, "Fell off...a cliff?"
>Doctor Karigan blinks in surprise. "... wait a moment..." She looks up at the
group, blinking. "... why were you referring to this person as a 'she'?"
>Maruah slips in somewhere in the last of the line. As she presses herself
against a far wall to escape too much notice, her ears perk to catch all of the
converstation.
>Derek asks, "Uhm...cause she is?"
>Ryan . o O ( Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? ;.; )
>Doctor Karigan knows she did it, until she read a spot on the chart. She
shakes her head. "No, the patient is apparantly male."
>Ryan's jaw drops at THAT little comment. "... Come again?"
>Cait Sith huhs? "A guy? That can't be!"
>Yuffie doesn't seem fazed by this. She just sits by Kim's bed, staring at her.
>Eden stares at the doctor, and murmurs, "but...."
>Derek's eyebrow twitches . o O ( ....... )
>Kim is bandaged, and laying covered in bed.
>Ryan blinks . o O ( Might explain a little bit ) O.o; He glances at
Yuffie c.c;
>Doctor Karigan nods again. "He was suspected of being a female at first, but
the nurses discovered otherwise." She continues to read the medical chart,
seeming equally as surprised.
>Derek shakes his head, "It doesn't matter. She..he..Kim's hurt. And I want to
know how she got this way.."
>Derek says, "Er...you know what I mean.."
>Ryan just resigns himself to being a gawker for this little scene O.o;
>Doctor Karigan looks up at Derek. "There is no information on how she achieved
this condition, other then that she fell off a cliff. It's noted that the
canine dragged her in."
>Cait Sith rubs the back of his head...
>Kim looks like something the dog dragged in. Yep.
>Ryan just sweatdrops. Is there any reason why there are two states of being
around here, 'nothing', and 'manic'?
>Yuffie whispers faintly to Kim, not seeming to notice anything else. "... what
>happened, Kim? What happened to you...?"
>Kim would answer if she could.....
>Eden quietly asks no one in particular, "How severe are her injuries?"
>Doctor Karigan sighs. "... we're not sure... but hopefully, she will live..."
>Eden nods slowly.
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck, commenting quietly, "Why can't stuff like this
happen in evenly space intervals?" He meant to think that, but... oh well.
>Cait Sith nods. "Well, of course..."
>Cait Sith . o O ( This is no place to be throwing magic around...her injuries
are probably too serious for me to do any good at this point... )
>Maruah mms, moving closer to Ryan again. He seems so depressed... ;.; She must
figure out a way to cheer up the person she's deemed 'Friend for the Day.'
>Ryan blinks as Maruah moves closer, but he's too confused to complain.
>The Sword is currently leaning against the far wall. Out of the way
>The Sword . o O ( Where am I? Musta used to much energy.. Wait a second..
Jumpin Jesus.. Shen are in here!.. )
>The heart monitor continues to beep softly in the background.
>Yuffie reaches out to place a hand against Kim's bandaged cheek. "... Kim?
Can you hear me?"
>Doctor Karigan will kill George Clooney on sight. *_*
>*beep*...*beep*...*beep*......
>Maruah is just about to nuzzle against Ryan again, Foil-ken. Nothing to be
worried about. n.- She's only trying to do her best at comforting the poor,
confused man.
>Kim-.\
>The Sword . o O ( Damnit! I must've lost track..FRACK Gotta get ahold of Kim
again 'for it's too late.. I'll deal with the Shen later.. )
>Eden has disconnected.
>Ryan is confused more then poor, actually. So he gets nuzzled u.u;
>Derek blinks and looks over at something he sees . o O ( Foil? ) He gets up and
walks over to pick up the sword carefully..
>The Sword is easily picked up.
>Derek . o O ( Hmph...I think I'll refrain from talking to it for now. The Doc
might admit me if I did.. )
>Eden has connected.
>Doctor Karigan met talking underclothing before... but that's an entirely
different story for an entirely different day.
>Ryan glances around the room . o O ( Quite a rogue's gallery...) before
looking down at Maruah. For lack of anything better to do, he gives her a pat
on the head o.o; n.n;
>Eden . o O ( What di I reconnect to? )
>Maruah curls up near Ryan's feet, swishing her tail around his legs, if left to
her own designs. She giggles quietly at the petting. ^n.n^
>Yuffie moves her hand over Kim's, her expression strained. "... please answer
me..."
>Ryan has a new pet! Or something. O.o; Luckily (or not), he keeps his
attention on the discussion at hand.
>Derek walks back over to Kim's bedside, standing next to Yuffie, "Doc..I think
this qualifies as an emergency.."
>Doctor Karigan turns to Derek, blinking. "... are you sure about this?"

their lives. A small room rests within an alcove; a ready room, for scrubbing
and donning of various sanitized equipment. Shelves and cabinets abound in the
room, storing to the ready hand any emergency supplies that might be called
for. A set of double doors leads out into the main corridor, and back to the
main part of the hospital.

>Doctor Karigan steps up to the patient's bed, checking her over. "... she's
healed, physically... but... something's still wrong. Her life signs are still
weak."
>Cait Sith flicks an ear...
>Maruah tries to get closer to Kim's bed. She wants to get a better look at the
woman that is and isn't healed. o.o
>Yuffie squeezes Kim's hand, tighter. "... damnit! You're better now... so why
can't you wake up?!"
>Ryan erps, and tries to keep Maruah away. Well, actually, he doesn't really
have a plan how to, he just kinda tries to grab the collar of her shirt.
>Cait Sith motions to Yuffie. "Easy...be gentle..."
>Maruah ducks and hops forward. Er, yeah... toward Kim's bed. This just -might-
put her enough off balance so that she sorta, kinda... tumbles on top of the
poor girl... guy... hmm.... Well, fortunately, such points hardly matter to
Maruah's view of the world. ^n.n^
>Ryan erps o.o;
>Yuffie is startled by the sudden appearence of Maruah in her field of vision.
"H-hey! Get off of Kim!!"
>Cait Sith blinks?
>Derek blinks, "Yuffie, calm..erk.." O_o
>Derek sighs and looks over at the sword in his hand, "Foil..I hope you're awake
so I don't sound silly doing this.."
>Doctor Karigan glances at Derek.
>The Sword doesn't answer.
>The Sword is a Sword. What do you expect it to do? Talk? Dr.. lock that man
up. He's taken leave of his senses.
>Maruah didn't mean to, really. Okay, well, she did mean to. It got her to her
goal, at least. She smiles happily at Yuffie, "Don't worry, I know she's not
dead. I just wanna see." Let's see how many people react to that little memory
trigger. ^^;; She looks into Kim's face carefully. o.-
>There's a cat riding on top of a giant marshmellow. I think the Doc's too
worried about her own sanity.
>Good point
>Ryan erks again. Okay, someone coherent do something O.o;
>Doctor Karigan blinks at Derek. "Is that a sentient sword or a possessed
object?"
>Derek looks back at the Doc, "Both, I think..he's being a pain in the ass now,
though." At Maruah's comment, he blinks and asks her, "You know she's not dead?
How's that?"
>Doctor Karigan nods slightly, peering at the sword with apparant interest.
>Derek . o O ( Kim...what happened to you? )
>Derek blinks again and looks back at Ryan, "Hey..you have Lyrae's number, don't
you?"
>Maruah shakes her head. It's a reference thing, Derek. Something that she'd
think that Yuffie would know. ^.^; Still on the bed, she crawls up closer to
Kim's face, sniffing delicately. o.-
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Things... seem to be under control. I have to go check on a
few things (OOC: read, log off), but keep me informed."
>Ryan zips out.
>o
