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

>Ryan shrugs. "Better'n nothing, I guess." He reaches forward to rub the bridge
of his nose. "Hey, um, like seen Lyrae around? Haven't talked to her in a few
days."
>Derek's sudden change of expression clearly indicates that was possibly the
WORST subject to bring up, Ryan. He hangs his head, his eyes almost completely
hidden by his hair as he mumbles, "No...I haven't seen her..."
>Ryan scowls. "... Then count me in as officially worried."
>Derek tenses a bit, his shoulders shaking for a moment before he calms back
down again . o O ( YOU'RE worried? )
>Ryan says, attempting to be reassuring, "Don't worry, she's tougher'n she
looks. Quite." Even if she IS a wierdness magnet.
>Derek is going to worry anyway...oh, yessiree...
>Ryan figured that much. "... Do you have any way to get in contact with her?
Phone? Beeper?"

the off chance one of them might be there..."

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.

Odin Street Church: Roof
Standing upon the roof of the building you can see for a fairly good distance.
This is one of the tallest buildings in the immediate area after all. A large
hole is in the ceiling here, with a fallen wooden beam extending out of it,
leading inside. Down below you can see the adjoining cemetary, and it seems
there's a path down to it along the side of the building.

Odin Street Church: Rafters
High above the floor, about 3 flights up, you gaze down at the climb you just
made and then around at the aging surroundings. The thin wooden strips you
walk on bend under your feet, threatening to give way at any moment and sending
you tumbling to the ground below. But, even though logic tells you to worry,
something else inside tells you that you're safe...it's strange. A large
section of the sloped ceiling is missing here, due to one of the beams having
fallen, destroying it, and allowing the sunlight to flood into the room.

Odin Street Church: Back Room
This room, once the most decrepit in the building, has been totally made over,
giving it a much more comfortable atmosphere to be in. The windows have all
been scrubbed and cleaned, allowing the light to enter through them, filling
the room. A small stove/oven has been brought in, along with a little
refrigerator. An old sink and countertop have been revealed in the cleaning,
now restored to working order. A wooden table has been placed in here as well
for meals.
The kitchen area is only half the room though. The other half is a very
intricate looking laboratory station, complete with bottles and beakers and
stuff even a Chem class wouldn't dare have. A purple curtain is pulled in
front of the lab, separating it from the rest of the room. As you look up at
the high ceiling, you notice the old broken stairs leading up high into the
rafters are no longer broken. They've been repaired as well, making the trip
to the roof much safer. Still after all this though, that large metallic
object lays up against one of the high walls, stretching nearly to the ceiling.
It could possibly be the old steeple of the church, but it's hard to tell,
given its current condition.

Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RCA)
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. 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,
glowing at night, thanks to a small white generator located in the corner. A
personal computer is also located in that corner as well, with a sticker on the
side 'Property of Skuld'. 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 atmosphere here.

Odin Street Church: Bedroom(#1886RA)
Hardly one'd expect to see a bedroom in a church, but there it is.. It's
obviously only just started out, as there is evidence of repair work being
done. Sawdust lies in little piles in a corner of the room and along the edges,
fresh cedar wood replacing the rotted wood that termites had chewed through. To
the right of the area that's been marked for a set of doors is a round table
made of mahogany, dusty and beaten up, but also in the process of repair. Four
chairs are placed, upside down, on this table. By the window, which overlooks
the cemetary, leaning against the wall are two raggedy mattresses with just
enough stuffing to be comfortable. The room itself, once you look around, is
fairly large, as if it had been a library at one point. Instead of books,
however, it seems to be plates and silverware on the shelves mostly. A dark
navy rug covers the wide area of the floor, with silver 'stars' woven into the
rug, resembling a starfield.

Odin Street Church: Bedroom Balcony(#1889RA)
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.

>Rachel nods. "I'm learning to keep that in mind, here. I just wish I could
find someone to explain more of this 'magic' crap to me -- what it can and
can't do, what its limits are, how to stop it..."
>Ryan shakes his head. "Like I've said, it isn't my specialty... there's a WIDE
variety of types, and each has their own strengths and weaknesses, but they're
hard to tell apart if you aren't one of them."
>Rachel says, "Makes it damn tough to assess threat levels."
>Ryan nods. "Only real way to do it is to watch them in action, preferably NOT
as the target, as assess what they can do." He inhales. "As for Esmerelda... we
can't kill her now, even though we want to."
>Rachel says, "I'm not to the point of wanting to _kill_ _ANyone_, yet. Not
something I do, if I can help it."
>Ryan shakes his head. "More to it then that. She has some sort of hold over
Kim... if Esmerelda dies, she goes down with her."
>Rachel looks at you puzzledly. "How?"
>Ryan sighs. "I'm not sure of the details, but it's some sort of reciprocal
curse... any injury on Esmerelda happens to Kim too, but not vice versa."
>Rachel says sarcastically, "How _comvenient_ for Esmerelda."
>Ryan nods. "Exactly. That's part of her tactical genius I mentioned." He
pauses, then looks up. "I'm... gonna check on Derek."
>Ryan (OOC) makes Esmerelda out to sound like a twink, but she isn't. She's just
a very good plotter ;)
>Rachel asks, "Um, before you do?"
>Ryan hmms, looking over at Rachel?
>Rachel OOC wasn't thinking she was a twink at all. The sarcasm was entirely IC.
>Rachel says, "I need to ask what might be a sensitive question..."
>Ryan (OOC) Just making sure n.n I don't want to give her an undeserved OOC
bad name.
>Ryan blinks, pondering what it could be. "... Shoot."
>Rachel asks, "Ryan... Who's together with who around here? Before, in the
middle of all this, I say the wrong thing and upset someone? Or, for that
matter, flirt with the wrong guy and make an enemy of his girlfriend without
meaning to?"
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Eheh... you're REALLY asking the wrong person. But I can give
ya my opinion, if ya'd like."
>Rachel asks, "Please do?"
>Ryan sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Well... Derek really likes
Lyrae... I dunno if it's THAT kinda like, but it's my first bet. They just
won't admit, and I dunno if they even realize it. As for Cloud... he's a bit of
a cold fish, but seems to like Tifa well enough."
>Rachel nods. "Tifa and Could are obvious. I was more meaning the crowd that
lives or hangs out here at the church."
>Ryan blinks, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well... Belldandy and her sisters
don't seemed concerned about that kinda thing. Yuffie is... well... Yuffie. And
I can't speak for you and Eden."
>Rachel says, "I'm unnattached. And Eden is, well, I'm not sure. Depends on
how serious the thing was she had with someone back home, and how likely she
thinks it is that we'll ever get back."
>Ryan blinks, raising an eyebrow as he puts his foot on the ladder
>Rachel sees your blink. "What?"
>Ryan shakes his head. "... Just wondering about how bad it must be to displaced
like this."
>Rachel says, "Very odd. Really hard, the first few days."
>Derek has arrived.
>Ryan nods, slowly. "... I'll be down in a sec."

you go upstairs to the balcony
Odin Street Church: Bedroom Balcony(#1889RA)
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.

Odin Street Church: Bedroom(#1886RA)
Hardly one'd expect to see a bedroom in a church, but there it is.. It's
obviously only just started out, as there is evidence of repair work being
done. Sawdust lies in little piles in a corner of the room and along the edges,
fresh cedar wood replacing the rotted wood that termites had chewed through. To
the right of the area that's been marked for a set of doors is a round table
made of mahogany, dusty and beaten up, but also in the process of repair. Four
chairs are placed, upside down, on this table. By the window, which overlooks
the cemetary, leaning against the wall are two raggedy mattresses with just
enough stuffing to be comfortable. The room itself, once you look around, is
fairly large, as if it had been a library at one point. Instead of books,
however, it seems to be plates and silverware on the shelves mostly. A dark
navy rug covers the wide area of the floor, with silver 'stars' woven into the
rug, resembling a starfield.

about any other options..
>Rachel says, "If she's been gone 48 hours, we could file a Missing Persons
report with the police..."
>Kim says, "...."
>Ryan pauses, then shakes his head. "I doubt that would help."

it..and now is neither.."

Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RCA)
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. 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,
glowing at night, thanks to a small white generator located in the corner. A
personal computer is also located in that corner as well, with a sticker on the
side 'Property of Skuld'. 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 atmosphere here.

You exit the building, returning to the street.
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.

>Ryan sneers... "Dammit! Details, lots, NOW."
>Eden follows, confused.
>Derek sighs, "I overheard Kim talking to this Charlie person..she said
something about someone being stubborn, and then sounded really worried. I
didn't hear much, then Kim just crushed the phone in her hand and started
shaking. She turned into this...thing and went out through the wall.." -_-
>Ryan grits his teeth. "Dammit... and no sign of her?"
>Derek shakes his head, "She's a water element, remember? She could be anywhere
by now if she went into the water system..."
>Ryan nods. "That's what I'm worried about..."
>Ryan pulls his hair. "Why can't those two just stay out of trouble!?"
>Derek nods back in disgust, "I have to try and find this Charlie.. And for
that, I need the phone book."
>Eden says, "I don't know."
>Derek pages, "Hey, we were just wondering why the two of you can't stay out of
trouble? ^_^" to Kim, Lyrae and you.

>Kim pages, "We're both just insane, really." to Derek, Lyrae and you.
>Lyrae pages, "No really, I was born for this work n.n" to Derek, Kim and you.

City Square
Welcome to the middle of the sleepy (yeah, right), humble mountain city of
Midgaard. The peaks that surround the somewhat smallish sprawl of
constructions about you appear a vibrant, cool purple at this distance..capped
with off-white snow at the tops. Although the town itself recieves little
precipitation from being sheltered by this atol of sheer rock, a cold wind does
comb and filter its way through..providing a brisk, though arid, atmosphere.
On the southwestern pointing end of town, a small, manmade pass in the
mountain valley allows for easy access from the bustling world outside. To
your north and west are the commercial districts..manufacturing, shipping, and
selling various consumable goods. In the east, to the 'horizon', appear to be
homes of various architectural influences..the more wealthy of said houses
bordering a small alpine lake and park. To the south, the middle-class homes
continue, thinning out just before the open gap to the highway beyond.
As for where you stand..it is the Midgaard City Square..Several government
offices and the larger buildings can be found on the sides of the slightly
misnomered elliptical, cobblestoned intersection. No actual automobile traffic
passes here, being routed through the side streets..this is a strictly
pedestrian and bicycle zone. A large, granite fountain with a statue of Odin
atop it towers nearly two stories prominantly in the center. There are also
benches about for taking a quiet repose from the hustle of daily life.

>Nabiki asks, "What's wrong with this guy Charlie?"
>Cloud nods, pausing to look back at Nabiki. "... no idea." He looks back at
Ryan.
>Ryan shrugs. "How should I know? Kim just went cookoo after talking to him."
>Nabiki shrugs, "Maybe they're old friends?"
>Cloud shakes his head. "By the way, Ryan? When did Lyrae disappear?"
>Ryan sighs. "... That's the trick, we don't know. Nobody's seen her in two
days, though."
>Cloud sighs... "Well... maybe if we split up and look around?"
>Nabiki . o O ( They're not making any sense... )
>Nabiki asks, "Didn't you say you saw her at some church just today?"
>Ryan nods to Cloud. "... That's what we were doing. Sorta."
>Ryan turns to look at Nibiki. "Eh?"
>Nabiki points to Cloud. "I thought that's what he said?"
>Cloud says, "... No. I saw Kim at the shrine next to the church."
>Nabiki says, "Oh... I guess I misunderstood."
>Ryan rubs his nose, then turns to Eden and Rachel. "Well, it's a plan at least.
To the shrine!"
>Cloud sighs. "Maybe I should come with you. I know the people staying there."
>Ryan glances back at the motoroid. "I don't think you'd fit."
>Cloud sighs. "I'll meet you there, then."
>Nabiki quietly watches the rest of the scene play out.
>Derek pages, "I've got a baaaaaaaaaad feeling about this suddenly.." to you.
>Ryan nods to Cloud (and Nabiki, but you just KNOW he's humoring you)
>Nabiki seems unconcerned, leaning up against the wall and waving.
>Nabiki says, "Thanks for helping me out."
>Nabiki smiles and prepares to head off in her own direction.
>Cloud heads off back to the shrine.
>Cloud leaves east.
>Nabiki turns and heads off to the north.
>Nabiki leaves north.
