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.

Jessica
A young girl stands before you, apparently at the age of
ten, her body appears to be skinny, usual for a ten year
old girl. Her eyes are ice blue, they look around
cautiously and quietly, with no emotion in them. She
might be found smirking once in a while, but other then
that, this child reveals no current happiness. It appears
to be ripped from her a long time ago.. her hair is short,
blond, cut to end right below her neck. Her skin is fair,
if not just slightly pale, not of japanese heritage but
caucasian.
Her clothes appear to be borrowed, she wears a long
sleeved black shirt, buttoned up all but three buttons.
the sleeves are the shirt cover her hands a bit,
its obviously not hers. She wears a pair of loose black
shorts, ending around her knees. She walks around
barefooted, and to top the outfit off, carries a black
sheathe with an romanian sword in it with her at
all times. her nails are painted black to match her
clothes. She has kawaii fangs, if she actually shows
them.
Carrying:
GraveDigger
>Amelia (OOC) TOOOH!
>Jessica finishes her drink, quietly mumbling to herself but looking up to see
someone walk in that she hasn't met before. although not saying anything, she
just looks at him and then looks away agian.
Amelia
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... some girl
flying head-first into the ground. *WHAM!* Ow... that looks like it HURT!
As the young girl rescues her face from the cruel confines of gravity,
you can probably guess that, without the few flecks of dirt and pebbles on
it, she's probably got a pretty nice face. With her hair swept back
gracefully into two points, on either side of her head, and her bangs
neatly trimmed (okay, NOT so neatly), she almost looks like a princess.
Okay, that's a stretch. She's definitely not DRESSED like a
princess, wearing a plain white tunic, and matching pants, unadorned
except for a splash of pink piping around the collar and a thick, terry-
cloth cloak. The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up to the girl's elbows,
but other than that, she looks pretty average - not too tall, not too
short, and would blend right into the crowd if it happened to be the 12th
century AD or so.
By this time, the girl's finished getting back to her feet, and turns
to you with a broad grin. She makes a V motion with her fingers and
smiles brightly, "The Ally of Justice has arrived once again!"
Carrying:
>Ryan . o O ( Hrmm, Lyrae has more friends. Whatever. )
>Lyrae looks up at the 'heya!' and glances towards the door, "Ah, Konnichiwa
Ry." She smiles, "Have you met my friends, Jessica and Amelia?" Points at both,
respectively.
>Ryan walks over to the table. "Can't say that I have."
>Lyrae nudges the other spare chair out, "That can be fixed. Care to join us?"
*** Cloud goes OOC ***
>Amelia smiles over to Ryan, waving. "Hi!"
>Ryan sweatbeads a little, but takes a seat anyway ^^;
>Jessica doesn't look up to Ryan, unless actually spoken to, eathier shes just
cold, or anti-social towards men. eathier way, she doesn't say anything,
beginning to watch Amelia for no apparent reason.
>Amelia says, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Rye!"
>Ryan appends. "Ryan. Ryan Tabbot."
>Lyrae stifles a giggle at the sweatbead, then pikus. Oh ya, she's tending for
the moment. "Ah, want anything?" Out of the corner of her eye, she notices
Jessica's attention, and frowns a little worriedly.
>Lyrae blinks and stifles a giggle at 'Rye'.
>Amelia covers her mouth, blushing slightly. "Oh, okay... everyone has such
curious names here..."
>Cloud pages, "OOC because I' prepping to leave." to you.
>Lyrae comments lightly, "It gets curiouser, believe me."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "I was just going to grab something to drink,
myself..."
>Lyrae asks gently, "Ah, let me, I'm on duty - sort of - right now. What do you
want?"
>Amelia . o O ( Rye en Tabbot... he sounds to be of royalty as well... )
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles.
>Oh he's royal all right. A Royal pain in the ---
>Ryan waves dismissively. "Whatever's handy..." . o O ( Ask for liquor, but
there're kids here o.= )
>Ryan (OOC) will make the spoofer hurt. Later.
>Lyrae gets to her feet and heads over to the bar - fortunate Ryan hasn't
noticed that Jessica happens to be drinking red wine. And enjoying it
immensely, one might add. :) She half mutters something about people and not
being specific, getting a coca-cola, pouring it into a glass and adding a cube
of ice before returning to the table.
>Lyrae (OOC) ^^;
>Lyrae quietly says, "Here you go."
>Ryan nods to Lyrae. "Thanks, babe."
>Jessica yawns slightly for some reason, little fangs popping from behind her
lips. She rests her hands folded on the table afterwards, watching whatever she
can while remaining totally alienated from the guy at the table.
>Lyrae quietly says, "Ne have y-" she abruptly breaks off, having been about to
ask if he'd seen Kim lately. Good thing she did break off, cuz she gives Ryan
this -look- at the babe. Not a chiding one mind, more of a semi-amused one. o O
( Oh brother 9.9 )
>Ryan chuckles to himself.
>Lyrae glances back at Jessica, glancing from her to Ryan for a second. o O (
Hrn. ) She files a thought away to bring up later with the girl, frowning
thoughtfully.
>Echartea has arrived.
>Echartea pads into the bar silently.....quickly glancing in all directions.
>Lyrae glances up, easing up from the table lightly o O ( Looks like breaktime's
over. ) "Konnichiwa." She remarks towards the incoming.
>Ryan is glad he didn't see those fangs. He isn't very fond of vampires 'n
stuff. No reason why, really...
>Echartea tailwaves to Lyrae. "G'day."
>Aw, but Jessica's a NICE Vampire. Really! Lyrae heads over to the bar, with a
single cough punctuating her arrival as she asks Echartea, "Can I get you
anything?"
>Amelia (OOC) Uh-huh... nice. That's why she's staring at me so much. n.n
>Amelia smiles back at Jessica, nervously. "I... um... you're Jessica, right?"
>Jessica stands up slowly from the table, taking note that now there are to many
people for her usual limit of spectators in a room. She pushes in her chair,
then bows to Amelia Lyrae, her ignorance to Ryan and anyone else astonding.
"..I have to see a few friends"
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Hey she gave me the same amount of attention and
didn't do a thing to me ^.-"
>yet
>Jessica (OOC) ^^;
>Jessica (OOC) can't help if shes emensely morbid
>And then, suddenly, Lyrae explodes!
>Lyrae glances at Jessica, "Okay, I'll see you around Jess. Take care." she
waves :)
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Oh my God! they killed Lyrae! You bastards!
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Aw fudge, I hate it when that happens. (pulls
herself together)"
>Amelia (OOC) groans
>Echartea shakes his head softly. "Nae thank you...just taking a break from
the daily grind..."
>Ryan grunts some sort of affirmative to Jessica. Yup, lotsa manners here.
>Lyrae (OOC) patpats Amelia ;)
>Jessica looks to Amelia and nods slowly, "..I am..." she then turns to exit for
now, making a few more notes to herself quietly. mumbling something, she walks
out slowly.
>Amelia n.n;
>Echartea sighs.
>Jessica heads out the front door.
>Amelia waves?
>Amelia says, "She's quiet, isn't she...?"
>Ryan . o O ( Why does Lyrae have to make friends with all the weirdoes? )
>Lyrae eyes Ryan at the grunt, then nods to Echartea, and picks her way back
over to the table. o O (Regress to caveman did we?) She eyes Ryan with an
impish look, but doesn't say anything. o O ( Short trip that'd be) At Jessica's
exit, she sighs sadly.. then looks at Amelia, "Hai.. she's had a hard
time..it's nothing personal."
>That includes you Ryan o.o
>( I ain't weird! I'm too COOL to be weird! )
>HA!
>Amelia says, "Oh... okay. I was just wondering..."
>You sure ain't heatin' up MY life...
>Thank god.
>Fine. See if I rescue you next time you get captured o.=
>Saving yourself, Ryan?
>Hidoii!!
>Echartea . o O ( ....humans...some, I can understand, some I cannot....too
strange. )
>Lyrae (OOC) giggles
>Echartea . o O ( Perhaps they think the same thing of me... )
>Lyrae hns, frowning slightly towards the door. o O ( .. Nah. ) She then asks
Amelia, "Ne, you were looking a little out of sorts earlier. Is everything all
right?"
>Cloud (OOC) waves... gotta go and catch some Zs... after I get home. >.<
>Echartea clicks quietly, "(OOC) Bye Cloud"
>Ryan rubs his chin, pondering something . o O ( I'll hafta ask Lyrae about
these two kids later. )
>Amelia asks, "Out of sorts? Er... well, that other sorceress... that guy. Do
you know Mr. Blue?"
>Ryan shakes his head. Not that teh question was addressed to him or anything.
>Lyrae blinks blankly at Amelia. "....Mr...Blue?" o O ( ...Okaaaay. ) "Iie,
afraid not. What about him?"
>Echartea clickyawns quietly, continually scanning the room.
>Amelia says, "He said that in the Magic Kingdom, there's no women... and that
if there ever was a woman who learned magic, she'd be publically beaten..."
>Lyrae erks o.o "That's a bit..harsh."
>Ryan . o O ( I need to find a etherscope... there's 5 or 6 new wizards or ogres
or whatever popping up daily... I have to track the singularity down... )
>Echartea clicks softly....he mrphs, and stretches, leaning back against the
bar. He lets his staff rest by the bar.
>Amelia says, "Er... well, he said that, and then... he wouldn't tell me where
his teacher went, and he made like he didn't want to talk to me..."
>Amelia blinkblinks over at Echartea, not having noticed him walk in. *piku*
>Lyrae wrinkles her nose, turning over that tidbit in her mind more times than
flapjacks. "Huh."
>Ryan speaks up, apparently interjecting into the conversation, "Who's this Blue
fellow, anyway? You know 'im Lyrae?"
>Lyrae blinks back to the present, and glances at Ryan, "Iye.." o O ( Not yet
anyway. )
>Echartea sighs...closing his eyes slowly.
>Echartea decides not to say anything, as he doesn't really understand the
current situation
>Amelia says, "It's quite... odd. I wonder if this instructor's been kidnapped
as well..."
>Lyrae frowns, "How many have been kidnapped in total?"
>Lyrae . o O ( I'll bet she says somthing akin to 'lots'. )
>Amelia looks up for a moment, counting in her head... then looks back down
decisively.
>Amelia says, "Lots.", with a worried smile.
>Lyrae . o O ( I knew it. )
>Lyrae asks gently, "Ne, is one of those lots a friend of yours?"
>Echartea . o O ( I swear. The mindsignatures are flying left and right. )
>Amelia says, "Er... maybe... but I don't think so. I ran into Miss Lina a few
days ago..."
>Lyrae asks gently, "Lina?"
>Amelia says, "Er... yes, that's her name."
>Echartea hmmms
>Amelia says, "In fact, she showed up the morning after the first time I met
you..."
>Lyrae asks gently, "That same day?"
>Derek has arrived.
>Ryan sits at a table with Lyrae and Amelia
>Chibi-Derek walks in, carrying a rather thick tome under his arm..
>Lyrae is rather lost in thought by now. She's still contributing to the
conversation - when it's going - but beyond that, she's off in a world of her
own.
>Echartea leans back a little further..and falls forward, as his tail flukes
twitch.....causing his stool to dump him on the ground
>Echartea falls to the ground.
>THUD
>Kim has arrived.
>Ryan hasn't spotted Derek yet. He's listening to the discussion between Lyrae
and Amelia. And trying not to fall asleep.
>Chibi-Derek heads for a table and drops the book on it with another *THUD*
>Kim walks in and looks...in a word...filthy. ^_^ Though she certainly seems
happy.
>Ryan looks over at THAT little sound effect. "...? What're you up to now?"
>Echartea mutters angrily....picking himself up with a quiet sigh, and sitting
back down on his stool
>Chibi-Derek blinks, hopping into a chair and opening the book to where he had
it marked, "I'm looking up something Belldandy asked me to. You ever heard of
something called 'atma'?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Not offhand... I think... what context?"
>Amelia's been spaced out, gomen @_@
>Lyrae blinks at the multiple thuds, though something else catches her attention
before she can question it. In this case, Kim, "Oi o.o What'd you do, go let
kids bury you in the sand like Yuffie did?" Her left hand waves random patterns
in the air.
>Echartea looks towards Kim.
>Chibi-Derek looks over and waves to Kim with a smile before picking up the slip
of paper he used as a bookmark, "Uhm..atma..weapon?" 6_6
>Kim says, "Bleh, no way. o_o"
>Echartea smiles a little..."Heyla."
>Amelia blinkblinks at Kim, raising an eyebrow.
>Kim looks like she may have been working on a car or something.
>Lyrae asks gently, "Then why do you look like what Lucky just dug out of the
backyard?"
>Blue has arrived.
>Amelia n.n;;; at Lyrae.
>Ryan nods to Kim as well, though he doesn't have the courtesy to actually take
a look at her c.c "Atma weapon? I swear I've heard the term before, but I
don't know any details..."
>Kim says, "Glad to see you too, Lyrae." =_=
>l blue
Blue
This young man's appearance is better suited to that of a tarot card
portrait than a living, breathing human being. His features capture all
the qualities of marble without the stiffness of the stone, and his
eyes, though frequently shaded by his bangs, are the color of
sapphires. His white-blond hair catches gold highlights from time to
time; caught up in a high ponytail, it still falls past his waist,
sparkling chains of semiprecious stones threaded through the pale
strands. Four tiny chains hold a similar ornament in the center of his
forehead, half-hidden by erratic bangs. He is clad in an absurdly
elaborate calf-length robe, the sky-blue silk ending just below his
knees in a white ruff; underneath, he wears skintight blue trousers.
The breast of his tunic is embroidered with a golden sunburst pattern
which mirrors the gold amulet hanging about his throat. The only
concessions to practical attire about his person are the short knife
sheathed at his hip and the fur cloak flung over his shoulder. On the
whole, he seems pretty enough to be mistaken for a girl and rather
fragile; however, the challenging expression lurking about his eyes
suggests it would be unwise to mention these facts.
Carrying:
Region Map, and Midgaard City Map
>Lyrae giggles and gets to her feet, walking over, "Aw, you know I'm just
teasing you Kim." She hugs her friend tightly. n.n
>Chibi-Derek asks, "Well, I'm tryin' to find anything I can about it. So what're
you up to?"
>Kim doesn't hug back. o_o;
>Kim says, "Lyrae, some of this is grease."
>Lyrae quietly says, "Grease shmease, it'll wash off."
>Amelia smiles weakly, scratching her head. . o O ( Such strange people... )
>Lyrae . o O ( and if it doesn't I'll buy a new outfit, no biggie. )
>Ryan rubs his chin. "Not much, actually. I've got a plan set to deal with
selling off the treasure... I'm waiting for investors to contact me."
>Blue pays little mind to the others in the bar, stalking over to Amelia a bit
stiffly.
>Chibi-Derek says, "Actually, grease needs a special cleaner to get it off
completely. My dad told me that.."
>Echartea stretches....shaking his head quietly.
>Amelia o_o; at Blue. "Mr. Blue! You came back!"
>Kim shrugs ^_^; and hugs Lyrae back.
>Kim says, "Your call."
>Chibi-Derek puts his marker back in the book and turns in his seat, "And what
were you doing, Kim?"
>Lyrae pikus at the side commentary from the...kid. She blinks a few times,
wrinkling her brow in though, and comments, intelligently. "Ah." At Amelia's
cry, she looks over to Blue as she gets hugged.
>Ryan finally actually takes a look a Kim . o O ( Sheesh, when'd she become
an auto mechanic? )
>Echartea looks around...turning back around, leaning against the bar.
>Chibi-Derek swings his feet back and forth, since they don't quite reach the
floor..
>Amelia's seated at a table, supposedly with Lyrae and Ryan nearby...
>Kim says, "Working." ^_- winking at Derek
>Kim pikus o.o
>Kim -_-; . o O (...how...short.)
>Chibi-Derek asks, "I can see that, but on what?"
>Blue asks, "... ... Just Blue, all right? May I sit down?"
>Lyrae reaches up and ruffles Kim's hair.
>Chibi-Derek hops down from his chair, shoving his hands in his pockets
>Amelia glances over at Lyrae, then smiles back to Blue and nods. "I suppose
so..."
>Lyrae brings her hand away o.o "eww.."
>Kim makes a face at Lyrae =_= then looks back at Derek, "Have we met, kid?" o.o
>Chibi-Derek chuckles, "She did warn you.."
>Ryan ker-squints in Blue's general direction . o O ( Ah, so THAT's Blue. )
>Blue follows Amelia's glance, and hesitates. "If I'm interrupting something, it
can wait."
>It's travel-size Derek!
>Blue . o O ( I'm not sure this is a good idea, anyway, with so many people
around.... )
>Kim giggles! n.n (ooc)
>Lyrae giggles at Kim, sweatbeads at the kid and wanders back over to her table
in time to overhear Blue's comment, "Iye, you're not interrupting anything."
>Chibi-Derek says, "(OOC) Anyone who tries stuffing me in a suitcase gets hurt..
>_o"
>Kim puts Derek in the glove compartment ^_^ (ooc)
>Ryan (OOC) puts his luggage away ;.;
>Lyrae (OOC) puts Derek in the trunk.
>Kim says, "Mine! Mine!" o.o tugging the arms (ooc)
>Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Okay yours yours *lets go* o.o"
>Amelia shakes her head to Blue, "We can go somewhere else if you like..."
>Chibi-Derek smiles at Kim, "Met? Yeah, you could say that." ^_^ Boy, is he
grinning..
>Kim puts her hands on her hips, looking down at the kid. =.=
>Ryan taptaps his chin. Hmm. Should he tell on Derek?
>Lyrae places a hand against her hip lightly, her fingers encountering the metal
of her flute. ..She eeps o.o o O ( Oh god..please god no ) She pulls the
instrument out and eyes the grease all over. Countdown to overreaction ..
3...2.. 1.. She belts out a scream and pelts out the door.
>Kim asks, "Well?"
>Lyrae heads out the front door.
>Echartea frowns
>Kim O.O!
>Kim blinkblinks
>Kim says, "Ano...."
>Chibi-Derek holds a hand up and waves for Kim to kneel. He nearly gets run over
by Lyrae, "Hey!" >_>
>Blue winces a bit bitterly, and sinks into the chair opposite Amelia. "I can
listen here as well as anywhere. And I have found it is best to always keep
one's eyes open."
>Ryan blinks at Lyrae's little freak-out. "...?"
>Echartea sighs
>Amelia glances over at the others, blinking. ^^:
>Amelia's been zoned out since Blue came in... is there something going on?
>Echartea just...remains curled up on his stool
>Kim rubs a hand behind her head o.o
>Chibi-Derek says, "Kim, maybe you should get cleaned up soon? I can find some
cleaning solution and we can see about finding her.."
>Blue leans forward, studying Amelia intently. "Tell me."
>Amelia says, "Er... well... tell you? Tell you what?" She blinks cluelessly.
>Blue says, "Everything. Where you grew up. What they taught you. Why they
taught women as well as men, despite your obvious flightiness."
>Kim looks down at the kid, "What?" =.=
>Ryan tries to divide his listening between Amelia and Blue, and Kim and Derek.
It doesn't work as well as he was hoping >.> <.< ^.^
>Amelia asks, "My... my obvious flightiness...?"
>Amelia lowers her eyes slightly, smile fading. "I was not the one who ran away
from the conversation..."
>Chibi-Derek blinks, "Hey, it was just a suggestion, Kim. No need to get
upset.." He rubs the back of his head, "It's me, Derek.." 9_9
>Kim pikus o.o
>Kim o.o
>Blue shrugs smoothly, and holds up a thin book. "I had to double-check
something." . o O ( Besides, I prefer to have fits of confusion in private...
o.o; )
>Ryan hmmphs. Now he won't have the fun of blowing Derek's cover -.-;
>Kim squats down, looking at the kid. o.-
>Amelia looks up again, curiously trying to ascertain the contents of the book
by its cover.
>Chibi-Derek crosses his arms, smiling sheepishly, "Surprise?" ^^
>Amelia is just that naive, to judge a book by its cover ;b
>Kim says, "Don't lie to me, kid." =.=
>Echartea sighs..taking up his staff, and scratching his beaktip
>Ryan coughs. "He's telling the truth, Kim." Boy, it sucks to be Derek, ne?
>Chibi-Derek glances over, just now noticing Echartea . o O ( Whoa.. o_o ) Then
he looks back to Kim, "It is me, Kim. Want me to prove it?"
>Kim says, "Sure kid, you do that. o.="
>The book is embossed with gold, rather archaic-looking script which declares
imperiously: University Regulations
>Echartea stretches......remaining silently curled up at the bar..
>Chibi-Derek says, "Okay, what should I tell you about? How about the times I
tried helping you and Lyrae with Esmerelda? Or when I healed Yuffie at the
hospital? Oh, I know..maybe I should talk about how Lyrae went and broke my
heart? Go ahead, pick one, 'little sister'.."
>Amelia studies the book cover, glancing back at Blue quizzically. "And then...?"
>Kim raises an eyebrow
>Ryan facepalms. And people say I have no tact.
>Kim points at Derek....
>Kim o.-
>( I don't. But that's beyond the point c.c )
>Kim says, "WHat'd you do? Shrink in the wash?" o.o
>Blue says, "And I was correct. It has been standard protocol for as long as
anyone remembers not to admit females to the University."
>Chibi-Derek SWEATDROPS, "Er...one of Skuld's machines shorted out . o O ( I
think.. ) and made me younger..ten years, according to Belldandy." 9_9
>Kim says, "You're so...so....." o.o "Short."
>Chibi-Derek says, "Hey, I didn't hit my growth spurt until I was 15! u_u"
>Amelia nods quietly, and slowly. "H...hai. But... what about this Magic
Kingdom? Isn't there more to the Kingdom than just the University?"
>Ryan can't help but snicker to himself at that little quip ^^
>Blue shrugs. "I suppose. But that part's not important."
>It's right next to Epcot.
>Blue (OOC) : . o O ( Why do they always make remarks like that...? O_O )
>Because it's so EASY?
>Oh....shut up. -.-
>Yah!
>It's fun!
>Whee!
>With the university there, it gives whole new meaning to, "I'm going to
Disneyland!"
>..... ......
>.......
>Echartea rubs his temples
>There's a hotel called the Disney Institute....
>Amelia asks, "... it's not?"
>Memo to me: Don't mention the mouse problem in the Magic Kingdom. The results
might be catastrophic.
>Blue looks blank. "Why would it be?"
>Amelia scratches her head... "Demo... you said if any woman was caught with
magic in the Kingdom, they would be flayed publically... not the University..."
>Kim grins
>Kim asks, "So...you're....what? Thirteen?"
>Ryan stands up, walking over to Kim and Derek. "Hmm... make a damn good little
leaguer, I'd say." n.n
>Kim says, "Or a boy scout. ^_^"
>Echartea rubs his melon, and mutters quietly under his breath, "Confound...I'm
getting a headache.."
>Ryan nods. "Exactly!"
>Kim says, "Wow. We could have fun with you, big b--little bro. n.n"
>Chibi-Derek nods to Kim and smirkss at Ryan, "Hmph..I went to the park and had
five different girls tell me I was cute!" ^_^
>Kim ^_^;
>Ryan sweatdrops o.=;
>Blue says, "I beg your pardon; I meant in view of all the students. It's right
here on page ninety-six.... just a footnote." He closes the book with a shrug.
"I can't say I know what would happen to her, after that. It's never happened."
>Chibi-Derek says, "They were about your age too, Ryan.."
>Ryan tries to give the kid a noogie. "Yeah, but something tells me you ain't
getting any dates."
>Kim says, "What a little stud." ^_^; *patpats Derek's head*
>Kim pulls her hand back so as not to get noogies <.<
>Chibi-Derek sweatdrops, "Skuld said this isn't permanent, ya know."
>Amelia frowns... "It's still a very unjust guideline, my father would never
allow such a rule to come about."
>Chibi-Derek errs, "And I'm not a stud, Kim.. What the heck did you say that
for?" *o_o*
>Famous last words, Derek.
>Blue frowns faintly. "What makes you say that? What's wrong with it?"
>Kim says, "Because you said you got a lot of girls saying you were cute o.o"
>Amelia says, "What's wrong with it? Women are inherently better at magic than
men."
>Elmdor has arrived.
>Elmdor steps inside... taking a look around. c.c
>Chibi-Derek says, "Yeah, but..it makes me feel.... like Ryan here."
>Kim says, "Oh..." o.o
>Amelia continues on, despite interruptions, "Whether it comes to making cooking
spells, or combative spells, or especially healing magic, women have more of an
affinity for the waves of magic... they can work it to their will much more
fluidly than men can..."
>Kim puts her hands on Derek's shoulders, bowing her head, 'Gomenasai." -.-"
>Ryan swats Derek on the back of the head -.-
>Kim grins o_-
>Kim stands up
>Blue's eyes widen incredulously. "I beg you pardon, madam. You're entirely in
the wrong. The situation, in fact, is precisely the opposite: Only men are born
with the ability to work magic. Women are as dead to it as any mech." He winces
abruptly, his somewhat pompous spiel brought to a halt. "...Or so we were
taught."
>Kim says, "Well I gotta go take a shower. See you guys later. ^_^"
>Chibi-Derek grins at Kim before he gets smacked by Ryan, "Ow! What, you don't
think you're a stud, Ryan?"
>Chibi-Derek smirks, "Kinda seems like it to me sometimes.."
>Kim says, "He certainly is with the boys." patting Ryan's shoulder as she walks
by ^.^
>Amelia frowns... "That's just not true! I'll prove it to you!"
>Elmdor blinks a couple times upon hearing Amelia... then smirks a bit, "...
looks like we have yet another ignorant, biased person. Or.. two actually."
as he looks at Blue.
>Amelia steps back from the table, standing up.
>Ryan smirks at Derek. "Nice save."
>Ryan stalks after Kim o.o
>Blue holds up a hand. "No, thank you. Last time someone said that, the bar was
almost destroyed. I think the owners would prefer if it stayed intact."
>Kim puts her hands behind her head, walking backwards with a smirk. n.n
>Kim giggles
>Kim exclaims, "Later!"
>Amelia says, "Chikara no moto, shinjitsu no... ano... it's just lighting..."
>Kim heads out the front door.
>Ryan . o O ( Must... resist... urge to strangle...! )
>Amelia smiles. "Really! It won't hurt a thing!"
>Blue casts a cold, disdainful glance at Elmdor, but dismisses him as
insignificant as he turns back to Amelia. "Lightning, indoors, madam?"
>Blue . o O ( So. Maybe women -can- use magic. But if they have this little
sense, it's no wonder they weren't taught it... )
>Amelia says, "LighTING, not lightNING...", emphatically stamping her foot.
"And besides, if what you said is true it wouldn't work anyways..."
>Elmdor yawns a little... walking towards the bar as he comments towards
Amelia, "... of course I would say women are much more irrational with
magic... expecially during a certain time of the month." u.u He then sits down
on a stool... watching the two arguing persons. o.-
>Blue sighs. "Several days ago I watched my professor blast a hole in a mountain
larger than this city. I'm willing to acknowledge that you *can* spellcast. But
I am dubious as to its effects."
>Chibi-Derek grins at Ryan, "So...want me to see if any of those girls were
single?" ^_^
>Amelia waves her hands fluidly, "And besides, it's not like I'm incompetent at
magic or anything, it's not gonna come out anything like lightning or a flare
arrow or..." ... but yup, she just triggered a magic word, and *FLIT* a flaming
arrow appears from her hand and streaks across the room, embedding itself in
the wall.
>Ryan cracks his knuckles. When did Ryan become comic relief!? As Derek speaks
up, he glances over his shoulder, peering at him incredulously.
>Amelia EEPS, as she obviously wasn't expecting her half-finished spell to
finish itself o.o;
>Silly boy. Ryan has ALWAYS been comic relief....
>Uh-huh... just show us your Hadoken again, Ryan ;b
>!@^*!( no, I'm the HERO here!
>Blue folds his arms behind his back. "I rest my case."
>Chibi-Derek smirks, "They might wander by the park again. I was playing
football with some of their little brothers."
>Amelia twinkles her nose and extinguises the flaming arrow, breathing a heavy sigh.
"If you hadn't agitated me, I might not've cast that!"
>Blue says, "Control, madam, is essential at all times. Without it all the
skill in the world is worth nothing."
>Ryan would reply to Derek, but first he has to peer at Amelia as if she
suddenly grew a tail or something. "Hey! No fire shards inside!"
>Elmdor chuckles a bit and decides to just watch... leaning back against the
bar and tapping his boot on his stool. n.n
>Amelia frowns again, turning back towards Blue. "Even still, we have much more
control over magic when we're concentrating on it... that's one thing I learned
from Miss Lina, if nothing else..."
>Blue raises an eyebrow. "You're her student, as well?"
>Elmdor rolls his eyes and grumbles, "Come on... what makes a female differant
than a male besides mams and inverted genitals?" u.u
>Blue . o O ( Pity Lina doesn't take her own advice.... )
>Ryan glances at Elmdor. Wow, even -Ryan- isn't THAT tactless o.-
>Amelia blinkblinks, almost processing what Blue had to say before wheeling on
Elmdor, irritated. "There's a world of difference! At least we have the tact
to keep such thoughts to ourselves!"
>Blue sets a hand on Amelia's shoulder, and advises, "Pay him no mind. He's
obviously an uneducated heathen."
>Elmdor shrugs a bit and smirks, "I keep nothing to myself in the case of
someone claiming dominance. You prove to me that the entire female sex is
better adapted to magic and I'll apologize."
>Chibi-Derek looks over at Elmdor . o O ( Cripes, even Ryan isn't that
tactless.. )
>Ryan stifles a chuckle at Blue's quip, and takes a seat again.
>Amelia frowns... "It's just obvious, in our world... for every five male
sorcerer's there's fifteen females..."
>Amelia says, "... and to claim that such an outnumbering is merely an error in
statistics is just... crazy."
>Blue stares with a mixture of disbelief and confusion at Amelia.
>Chibi-Derek goes over and starts reading his book again . o O ( Hmmm, what's
this about stars? Dang.. )
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck . o O ( Well, i don't know nothing about
magic... no comment here... )
>Amelia returns to her usual smile, putting her hands on her hips.
>Elmdor chuckles a bit and grins, "Maybe because women cannot seem to find a
better occupation besides housewives, barmaids, gardeners, part-timers and
mages? Please... don't open yourself up to such things. I'm defending
humankind and your trying to stress that just because of your sex you have an
advantage. Maybe most males are just brought up with too much physical sport
and most females read to many books. But there is no difference with 'anyone'
who has their heart dedicated in the art."
>Amelia nods! "I agree wholeheartedly! If you follow your heart you can do
anything you want to!"
>Blue gives Elmdor another one of those flat, cold glances. o O ( What's wrong
with reading...? )
>Amelia (OOC) giggles
>Ryan blinks. And blinks again. Hrmm, that sounded... somewhat... kinda... okay
O.o
>Amelia blinkblinks. "What's wrong with becoming a mage?"
>Elmdor nods to Amelia, "... then you also know that all it takes is faith to
fuel your magic. A male body is just as capable as a female body. So reword
what you were protesting... something more along the lines of; females are
usually more influenced towards the side of magic than males."
>Amelia blinks. "That is what I said, isn't it?"
>Blue puts in, "She would still be incorrect. You're only arguing the semantics
of a false belief."
>Amelia narrows her eyes, "I would not be incorrect, what he just said is true!"
>Ryan looks around for his coke. Hrmm, left it at Blue's and Amelia's table. And
he don't feel like moving. So, in an attempt at recreation, he puts his feet up
on the table, and leans back in his chair.
>Elmdor chuckles a bit, "No... an affinity for magic is more than your parents
not pressuring physical combat or sport on you enough. And I am a practiced
mage myself. Nothing is wrong with it."
>Amelia snatches up her coke off the table and takes a big slurp. ... wait,
didn't she have ginger ale?
>Chibi-Derek . o O ( Paladin? What the heck is this? )
>Blue says, "Not in my experience, madam, nor that of my previous professors."
Amelia o.o;
>Amelia says, "You went to a school where they'd burn women at the stake, of
course they wouldn't 'influence' women towards magic..."
>Elmdor blinks a bit... looking at Blue. o.o
>Amelia clenches her fist, looking skyward... "In the ideal society of my home,
where both men, women, and creatures of all races and species can peacefully
coexist, all people are granted equal rights to the higher learnings of magic
and justice..."
>Blue explains patiently, "I was using an example only, madam. As I said, there
are no records of such action actually being taken; no woman would wish to
enroll in the University in any case, without the talent to back up her
ambitions."
>Elmdor nods to Amelia, "Sounds good to me... my mother and father worked
diligently to train me in both sides of physical and mental attributes. I may
not be the best but in the terms of a Red Mage and Samurai, I am not lacking at
all."
>Amelia doesn't hear any of you, she's too busy clutching her fist to her chest
and murmuring.... "Otou-san..."
>Ryan . o O ( Out of towners. Ohy. )
>Chibi-Derek sighs and leans his head down on the opened book . o O ( I'm never
going to find anything at this rate.. ) -_-
>Blue frowns faintly at Amelia's sudden introverted streak, and stands, pushing
his chair back from the table. "I can see this discussion is a waste of your
time, madam. I'll catch you some other time."
>Gourry has arrived.
>Amelia blinkblinks, looking back cluelessly at Blue. "Eh? A waste of my
time...? Why do you say that?"
>Amelia said 'waste', really.
>Gourry waves, ^_^
>Amelia oocly waves to Gourry, having missed him earlier o.o;
>Ryan would offer to help Derek. If he were, like, a helpful person. But since
he isn't, he just leans back in his chair, half-dozing.
>Gourry (OOC) patpats. n.n;
>Blue says, "It's quite obvious."
>Elmdor says, "(OOC) Hey Ryan! Being a 'hero' means more than beating up the
jerks! u.u Didn't you ever watch G.I. Joe?! >.< c.c;"
>Ryan (OOC) Bah, G.I. Joe was a bunch of wussies
>Elmdor (OOC) cackles. n.n
>Ryan (OOC) 'Knowing is half the battle'. Yeah right. I say, beating the other
guy's FACE in is ALLA the battle >.<
>Amelia blinks. "What's quite obvious?"
>Amelia (OOC) "Ah, you are so wise, Ryan-san *.*"
>Ryan (OOC) poses! *_*
>Blue says, "(OOC) Now you've done it, Amelia. There'll be no living with him,
now."
>Gourry says, "What's obvious?" He steps up near Amelia. o.o
>Elmdor says, "(OOC) Wise like the potatoe chip. o.-"
>Amelia (OOC) "Can you walk my dog for me?"
>Ryan (OOC) .......
>Blue says, "You look as though you have other things on your mind."
>Amelia waves halfway to Gourry, turning back to Blue for the answer. *piku*
>Elmdor says, "(OOC) And them things are flakey. c.c"
>Amelia smiles brightly. "Other things on my mind? There's nothing else on my
mind, it's clear as a summer day!"
>Elmdor says, "(OOC) And greasy and salty and too much is bad for you! n.n"
>Chibi-Derek flips a few more pages . o O ( More Paladin
stuff..crystals...airships? Cooool. Hmmm, another mention of crystals.. )
>Ryan (OOC) He's just jealous n.-
>Blue . o O ( ...And possibly as empty as the sky on such a day. )
>Zelgadis has arrived.
>l zel
Zelgadis
You see before you Zelgadis Greywars. He stands around 5'9, and dressed head
to toe in white. He also wears a long white cape, with a hood and mask. If her
were to ever remove said things, you would see that his face is blue.. with
grey stones sticking out from his cheekbones and his chin, among other places
on his face. By his side is a sword with a golden sword guard, and a long brown
sheath. He appears to be just about ready for anything. His face, assuming it
is visible, is set in a very neutral expression. almost as if it were carved
from stone.
Carrying:
Midgaard City Map
>Amelia says, "So when could you introduce me to your teacher, Mr. Blue?"
>Ryan sits at a table, lounging quite professionally. z.z
>Elmdor looks up from the bar... then smiles a bit and waves to Zel, "Good
evening..."
>Gourry . o O ( Wasn't he learning under Lina? o.O )
>Blue raises an eyebrow. "I thought we had established that we shared the same
teacher."
>Blue (OOC) clutches Gourry's shirt and CRIES. "Yes. God help me. I'm not going
to SURVIVE the apprenticeship! Save me!!"
>Amelia blinks. "We did?" She counts on her fingers... "You're studying under
Dr.Esselbaumer?"
>Blue shakes his head, the jewels in his hair catching the light as he moves.
"No; Lina Inverse."
>Amelia shields her eyes, wincing... "mabushi-sugiii..."
>Ryan starts snoring. Obnoxious !@&*!(. At least he's quiet about it. x.x
>Zelgadis walks in...
>Amelia says, "Hontou?! Miss Lina is really your professor as well?! She told
me she didn't usually teach people..."
>Amelia says, "SHe... she said that I was her first student ever..."
>Blue casts a sideways glance at the apparent drunkard, but has long since
learned his lesson regarding people who spend too much time in bars. Let him
sleep.
>Gourry says, "You are, Amelia. n.n Blue here is her second."
>Blue shrugs. "She claims she is not a practiced teacher; perhaps she made an
exception."
>Amelia snifs, wiping a tear away from her eye. "And the training was so
intense, but I learned so very much..."
>Ryan isn't sleeping. He's... plotting in silence. Yeah.
>Uh-HUH.
>Plotters aren't ever silent, they're always making those vreeee vrooo noises.
>Zelgadis asks, "Hello, Elmdor. How are you?"
>Elmdor smiles, "Not too bad... and you, Zel? How is your... wife to be?"
>Elmdor. o O ( I cannot believe I forgot her name. ) >.<
>Amelia waves to Zelgadis with a slight smile, turning back to Blue. "So... how
long have you been studying?"
>Blue glances at Gourry. "I don't believe I caught your name, the other day." He
answers Amelia, "All my life."
>Zelgadis says, "She's fine. We still haven't decided on a date yet.I'll let you
know as soon as we do."
>Amelia says, "I mean under Miss Lina's school."
>Chibi-Derek turns a few more pages . o O ( This is strange..I'm gonna talk to
that old man about suggesting this book.. (
