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  : None ]


>Ryan steps inside. "Hey hey!"

>Alex nods to Ryan. "Irasshaimase."

>Tatiana is sitting at a table, leaning over to Butz and examining something, 

half out of her chair, with her tail waving back and forth. She LIKES 

Sparklies. "Where did you acquire such a thing." Hearing Ryan's greeting, she 

blinks and quickly reclaims some of her dignity, and pulls away from Butz, to 

sit somewhat properly onher chair, and waving lightly to Ryan with a mild 

sweatbead.

>Tatiana . o O ( Idiot. Gawping over a sparkly trinket like a child. '-.-' )

>Tatiana . o O ( '<.<' But it is sparkly... )

>While a normal person might be upset by a tail, Ryan is far from a normal 

person. He's far too handsome to be normal, for one thing   *cough*  Anyway, he 

takes a seat at the bar.

>l tat



Tatiana



The woman before you stands at five feet and nine inches. Slanted violet-blue 

eyes sparkle merrily from out of the golden-tan face, as thin reddish blonde 

eyebrows, a colour matching the shade of her short, boyishly cut hair, arch at 

you questioningly. Her lips curve into a bemused smile, before her attention 

turns from you towards something else that catches her eye, seemingly searching 

for someone, or something, just out of reach.  Golden spiral horns sweep back 

from her head a short way, poking through the little sun hat she wears, looking 

more like a part of the hat's decoration.  her ears tilt to the sides from 

beneath her sun hat, twitching occasionally to catch the sounds around her 

intently. Overshadowing her slight form are a pair of beautiful golden draconic 

wings that extend from her shoulderblades, curving up towards her head, and 

then back down towards her calves, the ends of her wings holding very small 

poison barbs. Partially hidden beneath the glorious golden wings is a long 

draconic gold tail, which curvettes around her legs, whipping back and forth 

lazily, almost with a mind of its own.  She wears a pale gold sleevelees 

skinsuit, the neckline hugging her small bosom while the back sweeps downwards 

in a cut to accomodate her tail and wings. Unfortunately this shows off more of 

her flesh than she intends, but she apparently  doesn't mind. Her only 

accessory is a gold circlet with a strange symbol at the center, this piece 

dangling at the center of her forehead.  To ensure that she remains warm 

throughout the chilly nights, a pure white cloak is draped over her shoulders, 

and closed in front of her body, concealing it from view.


>Tatiana can't fathom why anyone would be upset by a tail of all things. She's a 

perfectly nice halfling if someone tried to get to know her, she's certain. As 

for the handsome - well she could argue that one down, but she wont because 

she's such a nice person. '9.9'

>Ryan is quite the handsome man. As for his PERSONALITY, well...

>The personality leaves much to be desired?

>There's way too much to go around   c.c

>Ryan flags Alex down. "Hey, can I have a beer or something?"

>Aerith has decided after all this time of sitting staring at the wall, that she 

wants a drink. So she gets up and sits at the bar as well.. A few seats away 

from Ryan of course. She gives Alex a small smile in greeting as she sits on 

the stool, swinging her legs from side to side as if she were a child and not 

big enough for her seat. Which most certainly isn't the case. "Can I have a 

whiskey please?" She's really not in the mood to be sober at the moment, so 

doesn't notice how -handsome- Ryan is. c.c

>Or thinks he is >:)

>Hey!

>Butz grins meekly. "Home...but not -quite- home." ^_^; He briefly undoes it and 

extends the brooch, losing its color as he takes draws it away from him. "I 

magicked it a bit to shift colors depending on the nature of the person." . o O 

( ...Knowing that it'd be green for me, and a crystal would suit my past 

nicely. n.n )

>It turns neon orange for Tatiana. j/k

>Alex nods to Ryan, filling a pint mug with draft for him setting it in front of 

the man. He nods to Aerith, taking down a tumbler. "WOuld you like Ice, 

m'lady?" he asks

>Tatiana says, "It changes colors?" She sits back, flexing her wings in thought. 

After a second, her eyes light up, "Ah, much like.." She wrinkles her brow, "A 

'mood ring'?" She pauses, "..wait, I believe those respond to body temperature."

>Tatiana (OOC) whistles innocently ^^

>Aerith shakes her head, then thinks better of it. Warm whisky isn't exactly 

good.. "Just one cube, if you would." Even if she's not in the best of moods, 

there's no reason she can't be nice to those around her. So the 'm'lady' 

comment is responded to with a warm smile.

>Ryan catches a look at Aerith out of the corner of his eye, causing him to rub 

his chin in thought.   . o O ( Have I seen her before...? )

>Butz nods. "They have nothing to do with mood, hai. Though this doesn't shift 

with mood, it just shifts depending on the wearer." He extends it across the 

table gently. "You may have it if you wish, I can always work on another." ^_^;

>Alex nods to Aerith, placing a solitary cube of ice into the tumbler, then 

pouring two fingers worth into the glass setting it before her. "There you go."

>Ryan shrugs, and starts drinking   . o O ( Oh well, seems nice enough anyway. )

>l aerith



Aerith





A pretty young girl, fragile seeming and with an innocent radience to her. Her 

curly brown hair is held back by a pink hair ribbon, though the bangs part to 

each side of her face, being to short to combine with the rest of her hair. A 

simple pink cotton dress with buttons up the front and a red vest over the top 

of it, is all that makes up her attire. On her feet she wears a pair of no 

nonsense work boots, finding dress shoes to be far too uncomfortable for every 

day life. She carries a staff slung over her back, ready to be pulled out and 

used in case of a fight. It's then that the steel hard determination in her 

luminious green eyes become evident, taking away that fragile seeming to her.





Carrying:



>Tatiana blinks. Sparklie treasure!!!!! She visibly restrains from pouncing on 

it, instead picking up the crystal, "Are you quite certain?" o O ( '*.*' )

>Butz nods, but lifts the edge of his cloak. "No burden at all...unless of 

course, you have another preference..." He lifts a small flap in the lining, 

exposing a large pile of glistening jewels, varying kinds. Some ordinary, some 

rare, some so rare that they aren't even recognizable. ...Bad move, right?

>Aerith reaches out to lay her fingertips on the sides of the glass lighlty, 

nodding in thanks before slowly lifting it and taking a small sip. Her nose 

wrinkles mildly as she swallows that first almost unbearably strong sip. Of 

course, as soon as it begins to burn it's way slowly down her throat, she 

relaxes a great deal. Just let it do what it's supposed to. She catches Ryan 

glancing at her out of the corner of her eye and gives him a small nod of 

greeting before taking another sip. Hrm.. Well, her glass is nearly empty now. 

Darn. She places it back down on the bar, keeping one finger on the rim of the 

glass as her eyes turn back toward Alex, "Another, please."

>Oh yes. Very very bad move. Tatiana's attention snaps up from her pretty 

sparklie to the other pretty sparklies, violet eyes widening, and her tail 

lashing back and forth at a quicker pace.  She twitches a few times, her wings 

flexing involuntarily, unable to even fathom a response, her eyes glittering, 

fixated on the pretty sparklie treasures.

>Ryan just drinks in silence. Wow, that was a short pose.

>Tatiana (OOC) grins

>Alex looks at Aerith, evaluating, calculating, then nods, taking up the bottle 

again, pouring two more fingers into the tumbler.

>Aerith (OOC) sticks her tongue out. "I'm a bored aspiring writer, sue me."

>Butz looks up to Tatiana, grinning -very- nervously. "Erm...? As I was 

saying...your...preference...?" ^_^;;

>Ryan (OOC) Yeah, but I'm feelin' inadequate   ;.;

>Tatiana (OOC) grins and patpats :)

>Tatiana practically sprawls across the table, her hands gripping the edge of 

the table in an obvious attempt to stay put. "Uh.." She asks intelligently, 

unable to take her eyes off the treasures. "Preference?" '*.*' o O ( So many 

colors and sparklies! )

>Butz leans forward once more, ever the helpful gentleman. ^_^ ...What he 

doesn't know that the top fold is snagged around his neck right now. This could 

become a problem.

>Ryan sneaks a glance at Tatiana every now and then. Hmm, kinda cute. Tails are 

a plus, if you're creative. Hmmm indeed...

>Alex glances over towards the amusing scene atthe table, but whether the feline 

is amused or not cannot be told by his expression. Alex takes up another empty 

glass, wiping it down with his towel.

>Tatiana is unaware of Ryan's attention. Sparklies. Lot's n'lots of sparklies! 

Her tail very nearly vibrates, until it suddenly, with a will of it's own, 

wraps around the back of her chair and YANKS her backwards, good and hard. 

Subconscious reflexes, gotta love 'em. She sits back, turning her head to one 

side as her arms cross, and her eyes close. "E..Etou..I..really couldn't.." she 

manages. Is it your imagination or is she peeking at the sparklies out of the 

corner of her eye? 'o.-'

>Aerith smiles reassuringly in responce to Alex's thoughtfull glance. She's 

fine, really. And has money to pay for the drinks. There's no reason at all she 

shouldn't get drunk if she so wishes. Just to further allay his worries 

(Whatever they may be) she slips a 20 out of her pocket and lays it on the 

table. This one is drunk in the same amount of sips, though the face that came 

with the first drink doesn't reappear. "Just keep filling it till that doesn't 

cover it anymore, okay?"

>Ryan should show you the pile of gold he has sitting in his apartment. Too bad 

he hasn't made the cennection between your behavior and little shiny things yet.

>Tatiana . o O ( Sparklies '@.@' '*.*' So many sparklies.. )

>Tatiana (OOC) Ooohs, gold '*.*'

>Ryan (OOC) It's good to be the treasure hunter   ^.^

>Tatiana (OOC) '*.*'

>Aerith (OOC) is glad she left her necklace and earrings off today c.c;

>Aerith says, "(OOC) Gold and rubies sparkle alot."

>Tatiana (OOC) isn't that bad!! Honest!!! ;.; Really! Believe me!.. HEY!!

>Butz sweatdrops, but percieves the problem. Fortunately, he's the modest, 

generous sort, and he reaches in a handful and spreads it out in front of her 

across the table. "There you go, hope you find them to your liking." ^_^;;

>Methinks Butz now has a friend for life.

>Definitely *gigle*. Tatiana's tail uncurls from the table and lashes back and 

forth again.. slowly at first, and just the tip. The one eye widens at the 

jewels given her, and her posture eases somewhat. Somehow she manages to 

restrain herself from grabbing her treasure and running off to hoard it 

somewhere. With manneres befit the princess she is, she sweetly asks, (with a 

slight trace of regret), "I.. are you quite sure you wish to gift me with such 

things?"

>Butz shakes his head, "That's alright, I've found the gold coinage that is my 

standard currency from home is worth a good amount here, I shan't be needing 

them. You can even have the rest if you really want." n.n; Did he just 

say...gold coins? No, wait, he just offered to give the remaining two thirds of 

the pouch. o.o;;

>Ryan already has two girlfriends, so luckily for the ladies present, you have 

little to worry about. Ryan, on the other hand, has a lot to worry about.

>Aerith (OOC) coughs. c.c; "Not like we're throwing ourselves at ya n.-"

>Tatiana's wings twitch again as she forces herself to sit still, incredulous. 

She bites her lower lip a few times and taptaps her feet against the floor 

rapidly before shaking her head, the circlet jingling with her movements. "I..I 

couldn't possibly --"

>Ryan (OOC) n.-  That's because I haven't turned on the Ryan charm yet

>Tatiana (OOC) giggles, "True :)"

>Tatiana (OOC) bahs, "Charm schmarm :)"

>Alex glances at the twenty, nodding again to the lady. He knows not what would 

cause one to drown their thoughts in whiskey. He awaits the emptying of the 

glass again, then pours Aerith a double, setting the bottle down within reach. 

He glances at the table again, then to Ryan, before returning his attention to 

the lady. . o O ( I will never understand the human need to forget... ) He 

looks at the bottle of whiskey, checking the prrof, looking at Aerith, 

calculating how much she can safely consume.

>Butz shrugs, drawing out a small pouch which he dumps the contents into, then 

sweeps the table jems into it, closing the draw-string. He leans over and 

presses it into her hands. "Yes you can. ^_^; Princesses and jewels go well 

together, last I knew." The sad thing is, it's not intentional flattery, he 

sees it as proper mannerism.

>Ryan's ears perk up. Why... that sounds like... a pile of jewels! Treasure 

sense... tingling! He slowly... very slowly turns his head to peek at the two 

of you out of the corner of his eye, and begins to wonder who the hell you must 

be to be tossing gems around like that. "...?"

>Tatiana blinks. Oh lord. He said Princess didn't he. She shoots Butz a quick 

chiding look, before quickly shaking it off. Thosepresent are likely not to 

make the connection. She closes her taloned fingers around the drawstring a 

little possessively, and bows gratefully, "My many thanks to you Sir Butz. May 

the Light smile upon you for your kindness."

>Tatiana's tail twitches. Treasure sense ..tingling. Stranger's attention on HER 

hoard. She looks over her shoulder slowly, meeting his gaze. She doesn't SAY 

it, but the look on her face is akin to, 'MY sparklies. MINE MINE MINE!'

>Aerith surprisingly can hold quite a bit. See, those little voices she's always 

hearing make sure of that. After she finishes the last glass filled, she gazes 

warily at the bottle herself. Ah, why not. With a perfectly steady hand she 

refills her own glass this time, filling the entire cup. Much better.

>Aerith (OOC) snickers

>Ryan doesn't seem interested in the gems, actually. At least, not anymore. His 

gaze darts between Butz (who he's seen before), and your figure.   n.-

>Butz beams pleasantly and nods. He's done his good deed for the day! n.n

With Ryan's attention no longer on her jewels ..wait.. that sounds wrong. 

Nevertheless, she relaxes somewhat, her possessive glance clearing into a more 

puzzled one. Poor naiive halfling hasn't the foggiest idea why the strange 

other gentleman was looking at her figure. *blinkblink* She glances at Butz.

>Tatiana (OOC) winks at Aerith. She *likes* pretty sparklies :)

>Alex does not stop the lady from filling her glass, but when she dows, he takes 

the bottle, recapping it and setting it back amongst the others, keeping an eye 

on Aerith. Never know how a human that is no longer sober may act.

>Ryan (OOC) pulls out a disco ball! "Dance for me! BUWAHAHAHA!"

>Tatiana (OOC) '*.*' Now *THAT's* a sparklie! *leaps up and grabs the ball, 

rushing off to hoard it with the rest of her treasures.*

>Butz tones down slightly as Tatiana returns her gaze to him. He just nods 

politely. ^_^

>Ryan stops watching the two. He knows Butz... or, at least, knows he won't try 

to kill him. As for the girl, seems harmless enough.

>Tatiana doesn't tone down. Nice man gave her pretty sparklies! She absolutely 

*glows* . Her tail dances all on its own. A subtly 

draconic victory dance 'n.n'V

>Ryan will make the connection eventually. Not that he'll do anything about it. 

Last thing he needs is to give away gold   >.>  <.<

>Tatiana (OOC) hmfs at Ryan. Cheapskate. '-.-'

>Aerith scowls slightly. Her, get rowdy? Ha! Please.. She's a flower girl. 

What's she going to do? But she has a full glass (A small glass, but full) and 

instead turns her attention toward steadily draining it. Drunk, who's drunk? 

*hic*

>Do. not. get. Aerith. mad.    o.o

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) You're going to force us to buy flowers, that's what! 

"Listen are you gonna BUY a flower or do I have to cram it down your throat!!""

Somewhere on the muck, Rachel has connected.

>Tatiana resists the urge to paw through her pretty presents, instead standing 

from the table and pushing her cloak aside to belt the pouch in place, taking 

the momentary pause to stretch her wings a little.

>Alex never accused Aerith of becoming rowdy. Perhaps a little loud, maybe 

passing out, or a myriad many other things, of which rowdy is a possibility, 

but he has not accused anyone of anything. But nevertheless, he keeps an eye on 

the lady.

>Ryan does his impression of a moody drunk, sipping his beer in silence. Well, 

okay, maybe not moody. He does have two cute girls within watching distance.

>Butz stretches his broad back, his tightly muscled frame briefly visible 

underneath the baggy tunic folds. Actually, his timing is getting better on 

whatever sense, he matches Tatiana in stride as she stretches as well.

>Rachel has arrived.

>Make that three.

>Rachel comes down the stairs and into the bar.

>Tatiana chuckles softly at that, before pulling her wings in again. Mustn't 

stretch -too- fully. She does a little hop just to hear the combined jingle of 

her pretty sparklies and her circlet, and as her tail curvettes out of the way, 

returns to the chair. 'n.n' She's a happy halfling.

>Ryan, surrounded by cute women. And life is good. Even if one of them isn't 

human, and the other is drunk   c.c

>Tatiana (OOC) doesn't ask for much; just a ruby or two..

>Rachel . o O ( Another one with wings? )

>Tatiana looks up as she hears someone else entering the bar, and glances 

towards Rachel. Her tail twitches of it's own violition once or twice, before 

she raises one hand to salute the woman in greeting 'n.n'

>But.. But.. She -wants- to pass out! Though from that look Alex is giving her, 

he's not going to give her anything else to drink. It's amazing how even the 

nicest people can become shifty when partially drunk. Aerith's emerald eyes 

glance sidelong at Ryan, curiously, as she wonders if it's possible to hit him 

up for a drink. Hrm..

>Alex nods to Rachel, indicating with a glance to Aerith, then the bottle of 

whiske off to the side.

>Butz sips from his glass, refilling Tatiana's from the bottle while her head is 

turned. n.n

>Tatiana . o O ( Treasure treasure.. Whee!! '*.*' )

>Ryan would certainly buy a girl a drink, but he ain't the bartender, you know. 

He may be smart, talented, sexy... *cough* but he can't control the barkeep.

>Tatiana, upon turning her attention back to her table companion, and her drink, 

notices that said glass has been refilled. She almost forgot about that in the 

thrill of sparklies."Thank you Sir Butz." She smiles.

>Don't forget egotistical ^_^

>VERY egotistical   n.n

>Tatiana (OOC) giggles

>Butz nods politely with a smile of his own, reclining back in his chair a bit 

to relax.

>Rachel walks up to Ryan, then, and, glancing toward Aerith, says, "Hi.  Who's 

your friend?"

>Tatiana, with some difficulty, keeps her attention *of* her presents. She can 

feel the pouch resting against her hip, that's enough for her for now. Her mind 

wanders on its own little journey for a few minutes, until suddenly screeching 

to a halt, and swings back to Butz. She reaches over, and taptaps the table in 

front of him to get his attention. 'o.o'

>Alex picks up the bottle of whiskey again, pouring another two fingers into it, 

which uses the last of the twenty she latd down. He picks up the bill, putting 

it in the till.

>Ryan blinks, looking up from his drink. He replies, trying to be nice, really, 

"I'm afraid I don't know her."

>Butz only has to look up slightly to orient on her eyes. He nods? o.o

>Rachel asks, "Oh.  How're you, then?"

>Cloud has arrived.

>Tatiana blinkblinks said eyes intently, maybe she's gonna ask for more 

sparklies! ..But no, she's off on a different subject entirely, her deep voice 

thoughtful as she asks, "Legendary demons?" Came right out of the blue with 

that one huh? Betcha thought she forgot about that little slip up. Of course 

she didn't exactly shriek out those two little words, so it may or may not be 

likely that it is overheard.

>Ryan smiles, fairly genuinely. "Pretty good. Been trying to find a market for 

that damn gold, though. Got my swiss account set up, but it's a pain to try to 

turn it into cash..."

>Alex nods to the new arrival, recognizing him as the one that usually is with 

the proprietess.

>Tatiana's left ear twitches, and her attention snaps towards Ryan.

>Tatiana exclaims, "(OOC) I'll give it a good home Ryan! Give it to me!!!"

>Ryan (OOC) does want to have something in return. Y'know, to pay RENT and 

stuff?   n.n;

>Hm. Information about demons.. or gold. Monsters or sparklies. Monster..or 

sparklies..

>Tatiana exclaims, "(OOC) I can pay!!"

>Ryan (OOC) hmms    c.c

>Rachel says, "I could imagine that selling all that would be a trick."

>Cloud climbs down the stairs quietly, steps creaking.

>Tatiana (OOC) wave subliminal messages in front of Ryan's face. 'Give the 

halfling the gold'

>Ryan (OOC) Must... give... halfling the glod...   *blink*   But I don't have 

any glod!

>Tatiana's eyes dart from Ryan and Rachel to Butz. Back, and forth. Kind of like 

a spectator at a pingpong tournament. Her tail starts acting up again, lashing 

back and forth in agitation. But wait, she's not a greedy dragonling. Really! 

...she..just likes sparklies..

>Tatiana (OOC) wipes jam off the message, 'gold gold! give halfling gold!' :)

>Butz nods with a sweatdrop, speaking slightly lower. He does seem to trust her, 

after all. Rather thoroughly one might speculate, if he so humbly bestows 

mounds of jewels to her. "...Omega, Shinryu, Twin-Tania...nasty creatures 

sealed back at home, because of their power." He sighs fantly, shaking his 

head...causing a rather large pouch at his waist to jingle. Hrm, he did mention 

that his gold currency was worth quite an amount around here...so maybe...

>Aerith swirls her glass around and watches the last sip of the amber liquid 

slosh inside the glass. Ah well.. Maybe she should appeal to the bartenders 

sense of..yeah right. Okay folks, the flower girl is pissed. She turns her 

attention fully on Alex, about to chew him out.. But, ah, another drink. There 

we go, that's all she wanted. She lifts her glass once more and glances toward 

Rachel and Ryan who are muttering over her. "What's there to know about me? I'm 

just a pathetic slob who's parents are dead, had her boyfriend run out on her, 

and got chased after by two goonish guys. And.." She turns to glance at Cloud, 

snorting softly. "There's one of em now. Nothing to know about me at all." So 

having said in a drunken rage, she tilts her head back and gulps down her drink.

>Aerith (OOC) spams you all

>Ryan (OOC) AUGH! MY EYES!   @_@

>Cloud (OOC) @.@

>Cloud says, "................." as he recognizes Aerith from a couple weeks 

ago. He sighs, shaking his head at the goonish comment.

>Alex (OOC) is standing behind the bar.

>Tatiana's ear twitches again as she hears a *creak* and she sits up a bit more, 

glancing towards the man who walks down the stairs. Her ears droop slightly, a 

guarded expression crossing her face. Then she hears a jingle again and her 

attention is back on Butz. Wah! Life is cruel. . Gold on one side, jewels on 

another side, and a warrior behind! HIDOI!!!! However, she did get names of 

said beasties, and at least that gives her some time to  consider more 

questions, as the soap opera unfolds at the bar. Let's seeeeeeee...

>Cloud says, "(OOC) Oh my god, war of the dueling megaposers. x.x"

>Ryan (OOC) Please, PLEASE be lazy like me   x.x

>Tatiana muses quietly to Butz, "Merely sealed, not destroyed?"

>Tatiana exclaims, "(OOC) SORRY!!"

>Ryan (OOC) n.n

>Cloud (OOC) grins. n.n

>Tatiana (OOC) can't help it, when she gets creative she gets lengthy.. ';.;'

>Butz (OOC) snugs Tat. "Don't worry about it, I didn't even mind Ne--I mean, 

Aerith's." c.c

>Ryan nods to Rachel. "Yeah. Well, selling gold isn't too bad... there's always 

a market. It's just that selling a LOT of gold is HARD."

>Tatiana (OOC) giggles, "Well just the same I'll ..JEEZ Ryan you're making it 

hard for me to focus on the conversation about beasties ..."

>Ryan (OOC) smirks   n.n

>Vincent has arrived.

>*chaching* Those three little words set off Tatiana's treasure alarm, and her 

attention bounces back to Ryan ..But she's not one to be rude, so she is 

careful to give Butz equal attention.

>Alex glances at the new arrival. "Irasshaimase."

>Ryan continues, completely unaware that he's attracting her attention. Irionic, 

ne? "The trouble is, if you dump too much into the market at once, it all loses 

value."

>Butz is a warrior...a rather mighty one at that. It's just that he prefers to 

cover it with baggy clothing, and likes it that way. "Well...they -were-, but 

then they were released. So we had to destroy them." He isn't the dim sort, 

however, he reaches into the bag and jingles gold, look at that glint! 

"...Mi'lady, if you have a liking for this, you can have your fill of it after 

we take our leave if it helps you any. It means little to me...I -like- 

roughing it." ^_^;

>Ryan is a warrior. And prefers to show it off with tight clothing   c.c

>Vincent steps into the crowded room quietly. Just like always, and he then 

moves further into the place, looking around to see who's here. He stops in an 

out of the way place, deciding to continue the act of standing, for now, while 

he watches.

>Tatiana's tail lashes in agitation, though the rest of her body language 

doesn't bely her feelings. She doesn't even have Yen (or whatever currency is) 

signs are at that. She blinkblinks. Monsters? What monsters? Bar? What bar? 

People? What people? Sparrrrklliiiieeeess.... However she pulls herself 

together.. somewhat.. "Th..that's quite all right."

>Alex is a warrior, and a var. But he has no need to display his prowess.

>Tatiana (OOC) meeps. did it again.

>Aerith finishes the last drink and slips off her stool.. Grabbing ahold of her 

staff with both hands to steady herself a moment as the room spins. Ooh, there 

we go. Got a nice buzz going. She should be fairly bombed by the time she gets 

home. Juuust needs to make it there first. She starts tromping toward the 

door.. Then blinks in surprise as Vincent comes through it. Oh great. She sighs 

and flumps down into another chair, muttering softly to herself as she proceeds 

to smack her head on the table.

>Butz (OOC) hugs. n.n

>Tatiana is a warrior. Sort of. But she wears the tight clothes just to move 

easier. n.n

>Cloud is standing somewhere in the middle of the room, not really willing to 

approach the bar, due to Aerith's being a weepy drunk, bemoaning her lack of 

boyfriend, parents, and the fact that she's just fingered him as a goon.

>Tatiana (OOC) hugs ^^;

>Ryan turns his attention from Rachel to the drunk Cetra, and the new arrivals. 

"...?"

>Alex looks over to Vincent. "May I get you anything, sir?" he asks, then 

glances at the lady's reaction to the arrival, frowning slightly... At least,  

you think it is a frown

>Tatiana blinks, glancing at Aerith curiously. Here's something for a change in 

subject, as she taps the table in front of Butz again, "Is this a ritual?" She 

indicates Aerith, as she sips her wine.

>Cloud looks over at the new arrival, then nods towards him, deciding to 

approach him, as that would likely be the safest course of action for now. "... 

Good evening, Vincent."

>Ryan . o O ( Well, business is picking up again, at least. About time for 

anotehr fight in here   >.>  <.<; )

>Vincent shakes his head slightly, declining the offer for service, turning his 

attention inevitably over toward Aerith. He doesn't make any move to approach 

her, noting the condition she is sporting. c.c He then turns to Cloud as the 

young man greets him, "Good evening." he states in reply.

>Tatiana won't start a fight. Well unless someone tries stealing her sparklies.

>Cloud casts a meaningful glance towards Aerith as he asks Vincent, "... What 

brings you here?"

>Alcohol?

>Butz shakes his head with a sweatdrop. "...No...I'm afraid not, mi'lady." After 

a moment, his eyes light up. Monsters from the void, Shinryu...? Aha! A true 

gift worth of royalty. ^_^ But that can wait for awhile.

>His feet.

>Opa. She controls his every thought and deed, you know.

>His long sleek legs, covered by those tiiiight little pants 

an...*coughchokeahem*

>Vincent says, "(OOC) Aerith! o.o"

>Tatiana blinks at the sudden lighting in Butz's eyes,  looking puzzled.

>Tatiana (OOC) @.@

>Aerith (OOC) didn't do that one @.@

>... The great taste of TANG!

>Cloud (OOC) o.o

>Aerith says, "(OOC) I did the pants one. Not the Opa one o.o;"

>Alex (OOC) just chuckles

>Vincent says, "(OOC) Butz did Opa? o.o"

>Cloud (OOC) checks the time idles. BUTZ!

>Butz (OOC) snickers and raises a hand. n.n;;

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) Oh jeez I thought you mean one of the boys did the pants 

one. That's damn scary.."

>Vincent (OOC) snickers.

>Aerith (OOC) is a boy. ;)

>Aerith (OOC) j/ks

>Aerith says, "(OOC) I am on Kaze at least. Lalala.."

>Tatiana (OOC) 'o.o' "Are you TRYING to give me a heart attack Aerith? '@.@'"

>Cloud says, "(OOC) What BOY would even pants Vincent? o.o >.<"

>Rachel observes...

>Cloud says, "(OOC) ... Other than Butz."

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) Halfling reserves comment thank you very much 'o.o'"

>Aerith asks, "(OOC) Cid?"

>Alex observes as well, cleaning another glass. . o O ( Something is about to 

happen... )

>Ryan tears his attention away from the... chaos, and turns back to Rachel. 

"It'll probably take a good deal of time, unless you know a fence here. Or 

something."

>Butz grins, speaking in a low tone. n.n; "Well, before we take our leave for 

the evening I need to show you something...alone."

>What's in his pants, probably?

>Vincent follows the progress of the meaningful glance toward Aerith.  He shakes 

his head to that, and then only gives a bit of a shrug in answer, "I have just 

come here."

>Cloud (OOC) @.@

>Vincent (OOC) o_o;

>Butz (OOC) did the Opa one, Cloud. Aerith did the pants one. Get yer facts 

straight. n.n

>Cloud says, "(OOC) ........................................ Sure. o.o"

>But..but that would mean she has to leave the person who's got the other 

lotsn'lots of gold! ';.;' Tatiana blinks, "Ah? Oh, certainly."

>Aerith takes a deep breath and lets it out, sighing in self pity. She lifts her 

head and blurrily waves at the two goons. Cute goons now that she thinks of 

it.. Ack, what is she thinking? Maybe she did have too much to drink.

>Of course, just for a few seconds, Ryan may find himself the recipient of a 

very intense stares, from the halfling. o O ( If I'm quick I can see whatever 

it is he wants to show me and get back here before the muscleman sells his gold 

'o.o')

>Cloud nods, indicating the bar with a nod, as he turns to walk over towards 

that direction.

>Ryan still hasn't noticed Tatiana's interest. Idiot.

>Cloud pauses, looking over and almost sheepishly waving at Aerith in response.

>Tatiana has turn her attention back to Butz well before he even considered 

glancing towards her, in any case. Her tail continues to lash back and forth, 

more lazily than agitatedly by now.

>Tatiana . o O ( At first guess I had thought him a fighter, but..with such a 

lack of attention, perhaps I was mistaken. 'o.o' )

>Alex looks up at Cloud as he approaches the bar. "What can I get for you, sir?" 

he asks

>Ryan has Rachel standing next to him. He has LOTS of attention. Just in the 

wrong places   c.c

>Tatiana will just have to pounce at you from out of nowhere for the gold. .. 

well okay so she wouldn't actually do that..

>Butz smiles, finishing off the rest of his wine. He leans back in his chair 

once more, reclining with a long stretch. Again, that hidden frame is briefly 

reviealed as the tunic slides up, this time for a bit of a moment.

>Vincent, lacking anything better to do, follows Cloud toward the bar. Much, 

much slower progress than the former. Just because there's new faces present in 

the bar, and he wants to get a better look at them. Butz, Tatiana... just a 

casual once over.

>Forunate glancing. While one can easily be fooled into taking Butz for a timid, 

ordinary lad, as he stretches, a tightly framed tone of muscle is evident. One 

who hides such things might have his reasons.

>Tatiana matches Vincent's casual once over for one of her own, at relatively 

the same time. Then again she's giving everyone once overs, for a total of six 

once overs. Memorizing faces, and the like.

>Ryan (OOC) Butz is trying to compete with me. Heh. Feeling inadequate? *flexes*

>Alex is being the usual bartender. He gave the once-overs when the individuals 

entered the bar, his training making only once pass necessary for memorization.

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) It's the war of the testosterone '9.9'"

>Butz (OOC) says, "No, if I was I'd go dragon wrestling. Erk, waita--" @.@

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) LOOKS at Butz 'o.o'"

>Alex (OOC) gives Butz and Ryan their estrogen shots.

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) You're picking on my poor kindred? ';.;'"

>Butz (OOC) says, "No...Shinryu is a -bad- dwagon." ^^;

>Ryan (OOC) blinks   o.o   Is my hair okay?

>Alex says, "(OOC) Sure, Johny Bravo."

>Tatiana says, "(OOC) Oh n.n"

>Cloud continues walking back towards the bar, seating himself to order a 

whiskey on the rocks, as he turns the stool back towards the general room.

>Alex takes down a tumbler, tossing a couple of ice cubes into it, then a few 

fingers worth of whiskey, placing the glass in front of Cloud.

>Cloud nods, taking the whiskey, eyeing Aerith. In a low whisper, he asks the 

bartender, "How much has she had?"

>Ryan runs his hand through his hair. "Well, it's not that big a deal, actually. 

It'll just take forever to work through."

>Tatiana sideglances at Ryan again.

>Alex wipes a glass, and responds in a low voice, "Three standard glassfuls of 

whiskey, a double, then a full glass she served herself."

>Aerith has taken to giggling softly. Oh, they're talking about her are they? 

She doesn't need to hear them herself to know this.. Because she just knows and 

those helpfull little voices confirm it.

>Tatiana turns back to her wine glass, taking another sip. o O ( Hm...wonder how 

much currency I will have to part with for the gold... )

>Tatiana frowns slightly o O ( Bah, seems a silly concept to pay for treasure.. 

but he came by it first, drat it. )

>Ryan rubs his chin, making another glance towards Aerith, and the less-sexy men.

>Cloud nods, sipping, waiting for Vincent to approach the bar so he can order 

him a drink, trying to keep an eye on Aerith out of the corner of his eyes.

>Butz does not consider himself 'sexy'...thank you for playing. He watches 

Tatiana idly, sweatdropping. "So...you have an eye for things that glitter, 

hmm?"

>Good! No competition   n.n

>Tatiana sets her glass down. o O ( Pah, I'll ..deal with it later. ) She blinks 

and sweatbeads with a somewhat haughty air. Her? An eye for things that 

glitter? What an absurd notion. "Ah.." She answers, then changes subjects 

sheepishly, tugging at her hat, "You had something you wished to show me did 

you not?"

>Butz pats Tatiana's shoulder reassuringly. n.n; "...Well, yes, whenever you 

have a moment."

>Tatiana ehehs. She glances at Ryan 'o.o' o O ( Hm. ) Then back to Butz, 'n.n' 

"I have a moment to spare, surely." o O ( I have lots of moments. He gave me 

sparklies 'o.o' )

>Vincent takes a seat next to Cloud. He turns his attention on down the bar to 

Aerith once again, now that he's all settled in for the moment.  He muses over 

the decision; should he approach her and ask about certain matters, or just 

leave well enough alone? He decides on the latter, for now.

>Aerith doesn't really give Vincent much choice on that anyhow, as she's now 

staggering up from her seat to wobbly head for the door. One step.. another.. 

Yes, it looks as if she might actually make it outside.

>Butz nods politely. "Well...whenever, then." ^_^;

>Ryan stands up, and walks over to the door. None of the discussions here really 

concern him anyway, so...

>o

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