Obelisk Apartments: Ground Floor

To the west, facing the street, there is a wide entrance area with a double set 
of revolving doors, both appropriate for entry or egress.  However, where you 
currently stand is more elevated.  A set of steps leading from that spacious 
hall unto this one, with cargo and service ramps running on either side of 
that.  Centered directly to the east is a very large reception desk, with 
several clerks waiting to serve residents, or prospective customers.  To the 
south, the wall is marred by the oaken door to the manager's office, while to 
either side of the desks are two elevators, and for the more physically adept, 
a stairwell.
[Exits   : (E)levator, (M)anager's Office[Locked], and (O)ut ]
[Players : Faris, Butz, Ryuji_Yamazaki, and Lyrae ]
[Things  : Sign: Get a Home! (tm) ]

Yamazaki opens his mouth to call out, but hesitates..his arm hairs have 
risen..somethings up. He casts a few looks around then looks back to the person 
heading to the door. Quietly he begins to follow.
Ryan blinks. Never a crowd down here.
Butz taps Faris's shoulder. "...Move out."
Yamazaki . o O ( Look out..... )
Lyrae is walking towards the door slowly, leisurely, forcing herself to stay 
calm.
Yamazaki quickens his pace walking faster..
Ryan assumes Ly-chan and Ryuji ain't hiding themselves?
Lyrae can't help but feel like she's in a really really bad dream.
Lyrae isn't, no ^_^
Faris stands up and walks over towarsd the cloaked figure, to work herself in 
between Lyrae and Ryuji. And pretty fast, too...
Yamazaki (OOC) nope..everyone else is.
Butz circles around Yamazaki as he passes by. Very leisurely.
Ryan follows Ryuji then, hands in his pockets, whistling to himself, ITCHING 
for the opportunity to bust heads    9.9
Yamazaki slows and watches these two who have suddenly come out of nowhere.
Lyrae looks towards Faris out of the corner of her eye as she gets between 
herself and Ryuji. She pauses for about a second, then continues walking, 
reaching the door and pushing it open..
Yamazaki says quietly, one hand in his pocket as he continues to advance on 
Lyrae dispite this diversion. "Evening...rrr..."
Ryan steps up behind Yamazaki. He doesn't do anything to make himself obvious 
to him, but he does wave to Lyrae, who is hopefully watching   ^_^
Butz quietly slips on kaiser knuckles. *crick*
Butz is already behind him, Ryan. c.c;
Yamazaki (OOC) ^^ Pain? wai wai!!!
Faris slows down her own walk just a little bit, to make sure she stays in 
between the pair. She looks back at Ryuji as he continues the advancing, once 
again reaching back to shift her bow slightly.
Ryan stands besides Butz then   c.c
Lyrae sweatdrops just slightly at Ryan's location for a moment. o O ( Here we 
go again.. )
Butz (OOC) is going to fight Ryuji on totally even terms. n.n Brawl for brawl, 
long knife against long knife.
Yamazaki suddenly stops in his tracks and stares forward..not looking at anyone 
around him.
Ryan (OOC) was hoping to make Ryuji sandwch   ;_;
Lyrae (OOC) grins
Butz matches Yamazaki's pace...including the immediate stop. He silently stands 
at attention. "...."
Butz (OOC) says, "Faris is between him and Lyrae, there'll be a sandwich yet." 
^^;
Yamazaki's muscles in his back tense up as his shoulders rise and fall with 
each deep breath. He takes his hand out of his pocket, shakes it then lets it 
hang limp to the side.
Faris has seen something like this before. . o O (....uh oh.) She frowns, 
tight-lipped, then narrows her eyes. To cast, or not to cast...?
Lyrae puts her full weight against the door and steps out. She's not so insane 
as to stay in the same room. She'll watch from a safe distance ..
Butz similarly draws a ninja knife, resembling a small katana.
Ryan will use his fists. Old-fashioned, he is. Now, whether to say hello first?
Ryan . o O ( Figgered there had to be at least one fight tonight. Been awfully 
quiet today. )
Yamazaki's eyes catch the flash of the blade, his eyes are trained to spot this 
but he makes no move. He just hums and looks at his arm which has begun to sway 
a bit from side to side.
Butz silently takes two steps backwards. More waiting.
Faris doesn't do quite as much waiting. She remembers that sonic attack. 
"Shiromahou Shell." she says softly, a green glow forming around her body and 
forming a barrier.
Ryan stays just out of punch range (Ryuji's punch range that is).    . o O 9 
Now, what's that lummox up to now? )
Butz took two steps beyond said range. ^^;
Yamazaki's cheek twitches as he take in two quick breaths, snorting somewhat. 
When he senses the energy shift his arm tenses then lashes out, the air rending 
as he strikes towards Faris. He meets the shield and swears letting out a snarl 
then leaping to the side. When he lands he widens his stance and looks at 
everyone surrounding him. Odd enough he just grins and places his hand back 
into his pocket to wait.
Faris still staggers backwards as the energy hits. Apparently, it isn't a  
perfect shield... but at least it helped dull a good deal of it. She shakes her 
head briefly, then edges the bow fully off her shoulder. He wants to play? 
Well... she can be ready for it, too.
Ryan thanks Ryuji for the opportunity to get midievil on his buttocks. Leaping 
back the second Ryuji's strike hits Faris' shield, he crouches low, adopting a 
stance commonly used by a certain spanish ninja uses (hey, it's worked in the 
past...). He leaps up, backwards, against the wall to give him a good view of 
the lobby, and to see what the other two will try first...
Butz calmly utters the words 'Kuromahouken Boltra' over his blade as he waits, 
and as Ryuji lunges swings the blade gracefully. A wave of electrical energy 
flashes out, erratic strands lancing at the ground as it approaches. He begins 
walking towards Ryuji, aiming for genuine combat.
Yamazaki laughs and beckons with his free hand. "Come attack me..."
That energy is coming your way, Cap'n. Wasn't just showing off. n.n
Cap'n Yamazaki's a bit slow on the uptake ^_-
Ryan laughs! "If you insist, troll!" With that, he kicks off from the wall, 
using the force to propel him feet-first towards Ryuji's head (right foot, if 
it matters, and should I mention he has steel-toed shoes? Nah). All, of course, 
AFTER Butz's attack goes through...
Faris reaches back, fingering the arrows, then finally snagging one and putting 
it to the bowstri8ng, nocking it and continuing to step along with Lyrae. "Let 
the big men handle this one." she says, almost casually.
Faris mumbles, "..  ..  ..  ..  .....  .....  .....  feel  .....  .....  .....  
then  .." to Lyrae.
Yamazaki's eyes fade replaced by deep fields of crimson. He steps to the side 
smoothly holding out his hand to graze over one of the oncoming waves of 
energy. The energy surround his hand then is absorbed. Ryuji grins then strikes 
out removing his hand from his pocket. A sphere of energy errupts from his palm 
resembling the same signature as the energy that Butz had sent to him. . o O 
(Better be careful though..that shit is tough to absorb..not sure if I can 
again..no matter, these punks are dead..heh heh...)
Lyrae sweatdrops and nods at Faris, then smother a nervous grin.
Lyrae mumbles, ".....  they  .....  .....  ..    ..  .." to Faris.
Ryan . o O ( This idjit frontin' around in the LOBBY. The NERVE! At least he 
coulda taken it to the STREET! Now, lets see how well my foot is attracted to 
his face... )
Faris nods at Lyrae, looking at Butz, then grinning.
Yamazaki (OOC) 's attack was aimed at ryan.
Faris mumbles, "Believe  me  ..  He's  handled  a  .....  .....  .....  one  
kidnapping  .....  .." to Lyrae.
Lyrae mumbles, "..  ..  O-okay  ..  ..  .....  .....  .....  the  fight>  ..... 
 just  .....  .....  to  see  people  getting  hurt  .....  of  the  kinds  of  
things  .....  attract  ..  .." to Faris.
Butz reaches striking range as Ryuji hurls the attack. With grim eyes his 
sword-arm lances forward, hammering the butt of the blade into his stomach with 
full force...like a blacksmith striker against the anvil.
Ryan erps as a sphere of energy flies at him! Great, you dunkopft, hard to 
maneuver in the air! Ryan takes the blast in the foot, wincing with pain as his 
leg is bathed in electric fire (that's GOTTA hurt!).... too bad for Ryuji, it 
didn't seem to slow him down
Faris watches the fight calmly, mostly straightfaced,. then looks at Lyrae, 
stepping back some again, nudging her towards the door.
Faris mumbles, "I  .....  .....  .....  the  .....  fellow  ..  .....  wasn't  
.....  ..  But  .....  know  that  Butz  can  handle  .....  lot  ..  And  
.....  is  .....  for  him  ..  .....  .." to Lyrae.
Yamazaki lets the blast run its course and is struck in the stomach by Butz. He 
stoops a bit and looks down at Butz letting out a growl. "Damn kid..." He moves 
his raised arm down quickly hammer striking at Butz with visious force. 
"SHYAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Lyrae mumbles, ".....  .....  .....  sure  .....  .....  .....  .....  ..  ..  
he  did  pretty  well  .....  the  guy  the  .....  night  ..  and  he  was  
hurt  .....  ..  .." to Faris.
Lyrae backs away towards the door at the nudging too.
Butz twists to the side as Yamazaki strikes, taking the blow in his side. The 
sound of a rib cracking meets the air, but the lad's expression doesn't change. 
With a small huff, he dashes into the opening Ryuji leaves with the arm-strike 
while casting aside his sword, thundering a combo of blows into him in return.
Ryan wonders what happened to his attack   >.>;   <.<;
Ryan levitates  *_*;
Butz (OOC) casts Gravity on Ryan. n.n
Lyrae (OOC) chokes and dies at that face
Faris would say more to Lyrae, but she knows the sound of a rib-crack. Her jaw 
snaps shut, and she looks over towards her friend abruptly, then to Ryuji, the 
bow raising and pointing slightly.
Lyrae looks towards the sound of something snapping. She didn't like the sound 
of that one bit.
Yamazaki finishes striking at Butz then reels back to hit again but is struck 
by Ryan and knocked back out of the way of Butz as he moves in.
Yamazaki (OOC) there..sorry thought you fell Ryan.
Ryan (OOC) no prob
Yamazaki . o O ( Damn two on one eh? GOOD!! )
Butz adjusts his attack...mentally sighing at the loss of the opportunity. 
Instead he uses his momentum slide forward while doing a leg sweep, and if 
successful, drive his elbow *HARD* into the groin.
Ryan (OOC) returns, and LAUGHS, tried a similar move last time   n.n;
Lyrae (OOC) grins
Ryan doesn't have time to snicker at the fact that elbows are just SOOO 
attracted to Ryuji's 'nads... his foot hurts like heck now. He simply pushes 
off of Ryuji's head (adding insult to injury to insult), hopfully getting 
himself away from the ogre and putting some distance between them, to let Butz 
go to town...
Yamazaki lands on one knee sliding slightly on the smooth floor. He is in mid 
recovery when Butz moves in sweeping his leg out from under him causing him to 
fall forward. Luckily to avoid the shot to his Yamazaki's but unable to avoid 
the strike altogether and taking it to the back of the neck. He howls grabbing 
his neck and leaps back slashing out with a quickly drawn knife. 
*SLASH**SLASH**SLASH*
Faris looks over at Lyrae. "Well Get going." She half-steps, catching Lyrae 
with her hip and giving a strong shove towards the door3way.
Lyrae doesn't even have time to let out a squeak as she gets hip bumped out the 
room @.@
Lyrae (OOC) sticks around to watch the fun :)
Butz follows the blade strike backwards, easing his arms into position around 
Ryuji's and easing the motion to a stop between his two fingers, in samuraii 
fashion. He hammers the elbow of the bladeholding hand into Ryuji's arm while 
wrenching the blade away, forcing him to either release the blade or suffer a 
broken arm. (hopefully)
Ryan does a few flips in the air before landing with a dramatic pose. The fact 
he winces afterwards kinda ruins the effect, but, oh well... at least Butz can 
handle this for the moment
Once Lyrae is gone, Faris is able to ease up a little bit, stepping to the 
doorway and raising her bow, sighting along the arrow at her target. Still, she 
doesn't release, just keeping careful aim.
Ryan . o O ( Maybe... get Lyrae out of this guy's sight. These two can handle 
him... )
Ryan (OOC) wonders if Faris will take the dancer class, just for him?   *_*
Lyrae (OOC) -.o n.n;
Butz (OOC) once again, puts his CG Amano-clone up to it. n.n
Yamazaki's eyes narrow as Butz tries to take his knife from him, his look is 
very much like that of the foolish master trying to steal his dogs meal. He 
grimaces arm shaking under the strike but he keeps his hold on the blade as 
well as jerking his arm to the side stepping backwards. "Let go you candy 
ass!!!!" He keeps walking backwards as he swings his arm violently from side to 
side, then suddenly brings his knee up to strike at Butz, possibly to aid in 
prying him loose.
Faris (OOC) hmms. Actually.. maybew not a bad idea... 9o9 o/~
Faris (OOC) does the Tempting Tango. ~_~
Ryan uses Butz's distraction of Ryuji to circle around the room, towards the 
door, exiting and doing his patented Maiden Snatch (tm) on Lyrae. "Yoink! Hope 
you don't mind, but this isn't safe..."   . o O ( Damn my leg hurts   ;_; )
Ryan (OOC) *_*
Faris says, "(OOC) Gonna stay and watch anyway, you two? ;)"
Ryan (OOC) was gonna head to the bar, but I'll make a quick puppet first   o.-
Faris (OOC) grins. "Up to you."
Lyrae @yeeps at the snatch. Owie.
Butz has both arms around Ryuji's, facing the other direction, and definately 
is in a position to argue that. Instead of snapping the arm, however, he tries 
to use the motion to stand on his leg and swing him over his shoulder...driving 
him hard into the ground, possibly wrenching the blade out of his hand, 
knocking the wind from him, -and- snapping the arm, in that order of 
likelyhood. In doing this however, the knee would slam into his head and he'd 
come down on top of Yamazaki. x.x
Well this gets interesting, Ryuji is taken by surprise and is flipped loosing 
his blade finaly but not without taking his aggressor down with him. He lands 
swearing then rolls back a bit and into a low stance, hand to the ground and 
crouched on one knee. "Spunky...see if that holds up kid...heh heh...heh.." He 
rises and runs towards Butz to football tackle, but for added damage his chi 
has flared up surrounding his body in a dark crimson glow.
Ryan (OOC) screws it. I'll get a log later   >.<
Lyrae falls in line behind you. 
However, our little bow-lady has had her time to aim, and now, Faris has drawn 
a proper bead on her target. *snap* She releases the arrow, flying fast and 
true towards one of Ryuji's legs.
Ryan zips off. Let the major characters battle the villain.
o
You walk out.

Tyr Road [200](#228RL)

The 200 block of Tyr Road is almost exclusively fancy hotels and high-rise 
apartment buildings.  Available in a wide range of designs, from the mundane 
box-shape, to more architecturally enthralling towers such as 'The Obelisk'.  
Housing this close to the middle of everything isn't cheap, but it isn't as 
expensive as owning your own home farther out to the east, either.  The area is 
also clean..and a few commercial buildings are scattered about..though they're 
rather limited.

Lyrae is appreciative, believe me ^_^

You depart to the north.


Intersection: Thor/Tyr

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

Tyr Road [300]

The apartment buildings and hotels give way to smaller, less expensive and 
privately owned buildings of like sort.  Then those eventually dwindle to what 
you find on either side of you now.  Yes, various scents of delicious food of a 
wide assortment of styles, flavours, and nationalities entices your olfactorial 
senses..attempting to lure you in for a bite, or five.  Make no mistake, 
however.  It doesn't come as cheap as those fast food places around southern 
Tyr Road..though you'll definately appreciate the higher quality.  At a point 
up ahead, the road and street becomes an unpaved trail, towards the start of 
the steep walls that the mountain atol surrounding Midgaard creates.  A deep 
gorge carved by forces long forgotten and lost to legend is to the west 
here..and a suspension bridge has been erected so that pedestrians might take a 
stroll across it to Sif Way to the east, and marvel at it.

Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room

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

Ryan zips in, Lyrae in arms, and his leg singed. A story's a-waiting, that's 
for sure.
Lyrae holds as still as she can.
Eden looks up, blinking. "Ryan?"
Tasuki rubs his forehead. >.<
Rachel looks at the incomings from her seat on a barstool.  She hops off and 
heads toward them.  "Are you all right?  Is _she_ all right?  What happened?"
Ryan gently sets Lyrae down in a seat, before cursing to himself and mumbling 
about someone fetching an icepack   >.<
Rachel nods.  "Right.  I'll get one."
Eden stands quickly, and hurries over. "What happened?"
Lyrae winces just slightly, before giving Ryan a concerned look for a moment. o 
O ( I hope those two will be okay. )
Ryan spits out, between 'owies', "That big ogre tried to kidnap Lyrae. Again."
Lyrae grimaces quietly, sitting tense in her chair.
Rachel runs in back, coming back a few seconds later with a ZIplock bag full of 
ice cubes and a roll of paper towels.  "Here.  Now tell me what happened.  And 
if I need to call an ambulance."
Eden says, "What big ogre?" She looks over Lyrae's injuries.
Ryan shakes his head. "No, I'm okay, just a few burns." Wince. Second degree. 
"Didn't catch his name, but two guys were taking care of him..."
Rachel asks, "Maybe you're okay -- what about her?"
Lyrae just stays perfectly still. As noted in her desc, just the ribs and arm 
are most noticeable of her injuries. She looks towards Rachel, "I'm fine.."
Ryan looks at Lyrae. "... Those're old injuries."
Lyrae . o O ( Who *IS* that guy? .. )
Eden asks softly, "Lyrae, perhaps you should lie down?"
Lyrae tenses a little at Ryan, then erks at Eden, going white for a second 
before she quickly shakes her head, "No no, I'm fine."
Tasuki ever so slowly realizes that someone is injured. o.o He stands from his 
position at the counter, and lumbers over to the group, "Wha happened...?"
Eden says, "It looks very painful."
Ryan thumbs out the door. "Some big thug ambushed us in the lobby. Can ya 
believe that? Can even go without a fight in yer HOME!" He winces again. 
"Idiot."
Lyrae tenses just slightly, "Only when I laugh." she attempts a smile for Eden, 
and shakes her head at Tasuki, falling silent as Ryan bellows the answer.
Eden nods..
Tasuki says, "Big thug, huh?" He cracks his knuckles, . o O (I could go for a 
nice fight right now...wish I could see straight. u.u)
Ryan goes to stand up. "Should probably go back and make sure they take him 
down..."
Rachel asks, "You want help?"
Tasuki says, "I'll come with. n.n"
Ryan shakes his head. "No, need someone here to watch Lyrae..."
Eden says, "I can stay."
Lyrae smiles weakly.
Ryan nods to Eden, then glances at Rachel
You mumble, "Can you suit up in time?" to Rachel.
Ryan mumbles, ".....  you  suit  .....  in  time  .." to Rachel.
Rachel nods.  "Just take me two minutes."
Ryan nods to Rachel. "We'll wait."
Rachel turns and heads for the stairs.
Rachel has left.
Eden asks softly, "Lyrae, can I help clean the cuts, at least?"
Tasuki grins a bit,"This is gonna kick some major @$$. n.n"
Lyrae blinks at Eden, then eyes her hands. "Yeah I guess.." She slowly gets to 
her feet, grimacing slightly.
Eden goes to get a wet cloth and the first aid kit from the bartender.
Hardsuit Red has arrived.
Ryan looks down at his leg   . o O ( Good, no third-degree burns... no need to 
worry yet )
Hardsuit Red says, "Ready."
Lyrae looks at the trio about to leave a bit worriedly - then turns and follows 
Eden quietly.
Eden asks softly, "OOC, is anyone in this room not injured?"
Ryan nods to the hardsuit, then glances at Tasuki. He says, in his most cool 
authority voice, "Move out!"
Lyrae (OOC) grins
Ryan (OOC) Rachel, methinks   n.n;
Hardsuit Red says to Eden, "I'll leave the moto outside in case you need 
backup."
Tasuki turns to look at Rachel, then GYAAAAAAAS!, "MONSTER!"
Ryan sweatdrops at Tasuki's reaction. "..." Facepalm.
Eden leads Lyrae over to a table. "Sit here?"
Tasuki (OOC) isn't hurt...physically. o.o
Tasuki (OOC) is suffering from a hangover. n.n
Ryan (OOC) Pshaw. Walk it off!
Lyrae leaps about two feet back from the yell, white as a sheet. o.o;;;;
Hardsuit Red falls in line behind you. 
Lyrae stops following you you. 
Eden winces a bit at the shout. "It is armor."
Ryan stares at Tauki. "coming or not?"
Lyrae . o O ( Ow! .. Jeez. )
Lyrae walks over to the table and sits where Eden indicated, gingerly.
Tasuki pants, pointing at the monster, sweat dripping down the side of his 
head...at least until Eden explains. "Oh...armor." . o O (Just #@$^ing armor.) 
u.u "I was testing your reactions!"
Tasuki falls in line behind you. 
Ryan sweatdrops   . o O ( So much for my grand departure... )

Obelisk Apartments: Ground Floor

To the west, facing the street, there is a wide entrance area with a double set 
of revolving doors, both appropriate for entry or egress.  However, where you 
currently stand is more elevated.  A set of steps leading from that spacious 
hall unto this one, with cargo and service ramps running on either side of 
that.  Centered directly to the east is a very large reception desk, with 
several clerks waiting to serve residents, or prospective customers.  To the 
south, the wall is marred by the oaken door to the manager's office, while to 
either side of the desks are two elevators, and for the more physically adept, 
a stairwell.

[Things  : Sign: Get a Home! (tm) ]

Ryan storms in the front door, with reinforcements even! "Hi there, miss me?"
Yamazaki (OOC) just released a wave of chi.
( Rachel deploys her shield.  The bulk on the suit's right forearm unfolds into 
a fair-sized protective surface. )
It's a good thing that Faris had that shield up. As it is, she's still struck, 
staggering backwards with a cry of pain. Her aim is thrown off, arrow striking 
the wall behind Ryuji. She staggers back, head shaking as she tries to regain 
her balance and awareness.
Butz (OOC) says, "Meaning that they'd probably get thrown right back out of the 
door." x.X
Ryan gets battered right after his finishes his less-then-dramatic-entrance, 
falling to the side of the door, momentarily stunned    x_x
Yamazaki (OOC) lols
Hardsuit Red staggers a bit, but manages to keep its footing.  Gyros -- Gotta 
love 'em.  ^_-
Tasuki gets flung back into Rachel's shield. -.- Some safety device. "God damn, 
that hurts like a *****. >.<"
Ryan feels he doesn't need to say who the bad guy is. Should be obvious. Oooh, 
pretty stars!
Hardsuit Red shouts at Ryuji, in an electronically-altered voice, "Freeze!"
Butz dashes backwards a bit, then throws himself forward...through the wave. 
His body stands the ravages and continues to drill his way through, collapsing 
to his knees as he reaches the other side. His eyes flicker green as he slams his 
fist into the ground as he crumples, screaming two words that immediately send 
sirens racing through Faris's head to Duck and Cover. "Kuromahou...FLARE!!!" 
The ground beneath Yamazaki erupts in an explosion with the same radius as his 
chi blast.
Yamazaki says, "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" He shakes his head as the rush of burning 
energy is finaly released from his body. With a hard tug he wrenches his hand 
free from the holes in the tiles and staggers back towards the door. When he 
hears a voice he stops and looks over, eyebrow raised. "What the ****? A dammed 
talking toaster? Blow off and make a poptart..ugh.." He swoons a bit clutching 
his head. At this moment Butz's attack rips into the room sending Ryuji off 
into the receptionists desk. Needless to say there isn't much left to the desk.
Faris does just that, in fact. Her eyes widen, and she staggers rapidly 
backwards towards the door. Eh? Other people? "GET BACK!" She yells at the 
folks there. Juuuuuust in case. Of course, also just in case, she does have 
another arrow nocked and ready.
Ryan shakes his head, his vision clearing. Wow, even more devestation. Dammit, 
now his rent will go up! He'll be ou of it for the rest of the 'round' though. 
Do I smell 'target'?
Hardsuit Red braces against the explosion, and waits to see if the target is 
still moving after that.
Yamazaki (OOC) is gonna get you Lyrae for being so hard to snag. :p
Lucky (OOC) stepsteps. n.nV
Hardsuit Red . o O ( So much as twitch and you're miine, creep... )
Faris (OOC) giggles. "You keep grabbing her with people around!"
Tasuki's eyes widen at all the firepower being thrown about. o.o And he thought 
the tessen was special. Hey, he wants in on this! ...but maybe later. He ducks 
behind the hardsuit, you know. Human flesh doesn't do well against all this. o.o
Butz is...somewhat spent. That's pretty damn certain. Still, he crawls onto his 
hands and knees and continues crawling forward. (Our little wind elemental here 
should try applying for an Energizer battery.)
Splintered wood flies in every which direction as Ryuji shoots his arms up to 
free himself. "Kiku ze..."(I felt that one) Slowly he sits up resting his 
forearm against his knee and looks around, his clothes tattered and face 
bloodied.
Hardsuit Red fires, a blue-white electrical-looking discharge from the fairing 
atop its left forearm.
Ryan staggers back to his feet. He's gonna be bruised ALL over, but luckily, he 
isn't bleeding. A least, not externally. He inhales, taking a defensive stance 
as he observes the situation
Yamazaki looks over calmly but the approaching discharge triggers his survival 
instinct. With a howl he leaps up and just out of the way..too much for 
tonight. He comes to stop by one of the chairs in the hallway, hoists it up and 
gingerly tosses the thing towards the general direction of everyone.
Tasuki . o O ( I'm in way over my head. -.- Why couldn't the Suzaku No Miko 
just come to my world like that monk said she was supposed to? -.- )
Faris gets her composure back, once the Flare has run its course. She starts 
edging her way over towards Butz carefully, the bow being snapped up and slung 
onto her shoulder once again. She's more intent on Butz, at the moment.
Ryan gets beaned by a chair. It just ain't his night.
Hardsuit Red catches the chair at the last moment, Ryan.  You're safe.  ^_-
Ryan exhales
Butz is on his knees again. He stands to his feet, casually flicking his hand 
outwards in Ryuji's direction as he regains his composure. "...Jikuumahou 
Comet." To make up for Ryan's chence hit of debris--or not, due to the 
hardsuit's intervention, flaming rocks manifest out of the air all around 
Butz's 'target', and take their turns attempting to slam into him one second 
after another.
Hardsuit Red throws the chair back at Yamazaki.  Hard.
Tasuki . o O ( Well, my as well put my bit in too... )
Faris shakes her head as she finally gets over to Butz's side. "You know, I 
thought you said we wanted to go easy on things like that..."
Ryan wipes a trickle of blood from his chin   . o O ( Dammit, bit my tongue... 
that guy is goin' DOWN )    Once again, however, the poor mortal has to wait 
until the megadeath spells and chi blasts finish getting tossed around. Le sigh.
Butz (OOC) says, "Throw one chair, you've suddenly got debris showering you 
from everywhere. Maybe there is some merit to the golden rule."
Butz coughs a bit of blood as he dusts himself off, shaking his head. "...And I 
also said, if you're up against someone where you have to match the odds, let 
it flow."
Megadeath spells, chi blasts and chairs/debris, Ryan. You missed that last one 
:)
Oh yes, can't forget the chairs. Too bad I left my blaster at home...
Tasuki says, "This is for ruining a nice chair!" He throws his gaze at Ryuji, 
once the hardsuit moves out of his way. He whips his tessen out, slicing at the 
air, while facing the monster. "Lekka shien!!" Flames burst out of nowhere, the 
inferno burning everything in its path. Including innocents. Watch out for the 
hothead. o.o
Ryan, thankfully, won't get hit by THAT attack   -.-;
Faris turns her body, offering a shoulder to Butz. "You. Sit. You're all but 
worn out. You don't need to be throwing anything else like that."
Hardsuit Red dodges Tasuki's attack, barely.  . o O ( Great.  Ally's more 
dangerous than the target. )
Yamazaki swats the chair to the side then starts to make for the door, pelted 
by Butz's attack. Once at the door however he feels the heat and mutters one 
single word. "..shit...." The flames burn around him and paired with the other 
attack he is sent flying through the doorway rather than running through it. 
"Kyaaah!!!' *SMASH*"
Ryan . o O ( Can everyone around here create fire outta thin air but ME!?   
o.=; )
Butz (OOC) says, "Yeah, RIGHT." x.X
Butz nods, nothing wrong with common sense. He lets himself drop to his knees, 
then kicks back...lying on the ground while catching his breath.
Yamazaki (OOC) is outside now.
Faris lets Butz go. Heck, he can get the chance to rest up a minute, as she 
straightens to squint at the door. Drat. He got away. Oh well... gives her a 
chance to grit her teeth and slap the flat of her palm against her hip. Ow. Ow. 
Pain.
Tasuki realizes his one...well, the one mistake he realizes he made, which is 
standing in front of the door. He gets smacked to the ground by a flying Ryuji, 
and rolls for a bit, smacking into the wall by the door. u.x
Ryan would give chase, but Ryuji looked like he got spanked enough already. 
"E... everyone okay?"
Alive? Yes. Alright? Give her time. "I'm fine." Faris says, waving a hand some.
Tasuki sits up for a second, feeling his face. Of course... "That bastard broke 
my ****ing nose!" He holds the rather bloodied nose in place. -.-
Someone yells from outside followed by a woman's scream.
Ryan curses, "Dammit, what does it take to STOP that gu-" He looks out the door?
Yamazaki says, "(OOC) If anyone is going out you can just pose..to save on 
having everyone leave the room. Sound ok? ^^"
Faris (OOC) nods. "That works."
Yamazaki (OOC) will just pose from here. :)
Ryan is just looking, for the moment, unless he spots trouble
Butz responds in a Cloudish manner, "...." He's busy focussing on restoring his 
spent stores of energy, thanks.
Hardsuit Red says, "I'm fine... Damn!"  And jumpjets out through the door.
Ryan decides to follow Rachel. Might as well TRY to be useful this fight...
Faris is following for that door, although without the jumpjets. She's just 
using good ol' walking power. What more needs to be known?
Tasuki hops to his feet after popping his nose into place. u.u He then follows 
out the door. . o O (I'm going to put this ***** on ice.)
Outside a woman looks horrified on as Ryuji holds a man by the throat.
Yamazaki says, "Back it off..." *cough*
Eden walks in from outside through the revolving door.
Eden arrives, with Lyrae following behind. 
Hardsuit Red says, menacingly, "Let him go, creep.  Do it NOW!"
Ryan skids to a halt. "!^@!() coward... put him down..."
Tasuki says, "Let the guy die! If we don"
Eden looks in, Lyrae not yet visible behind her.
Tasuki says, "Let the guy die! If we don't kill this @$$hole now, he'll just 
hurt more people. >.<"
Lyrae doesn't intend to let herself =get= visible either. n.n
Faris glancews at Tasuki. "You're nuts,." She shakes her head, voice going a 
little lower. "I can get him away... or at least slow him down." she says, 
softly.
Hardsuit Red says to Tasuki, without looking away from the target, "No one 
asked you, idiot."
Ryan doesn't bother to reply to that    . o O ( I can take that troll down... 
but not before he kills that guy... )
Yamazaki looks over laughing maniacly. "You want him..fine..take him." With a 
brutal swipe of his blade he opens the mans stomach and tosses him to the 
ground. "GYEEHEEHEEEEEE!" The woman screams as Ryuji races past her knocking 
her down and heads off down an alley. He will be lost in the streets and 
unfound for now.
Hardsuit Red . o O ( Shit... )
Tasuki says, "I told you!" >.<
Tasuki says, "He was gonna kill him anyways. Too desparate. -.-"
Hardsuit Red patches into the cellphone network and calls 911.
Yamazaki says, "(OOC) Up to you if the man lives...I'll stick around for a bit 
OOC if you don't mind." :)
Ryan whips out his cellphone, shouting, "TRACK HIM." He flips it open, and 
finds it luckily undamaged. Calls 911...
*** Yamazaki goes OOC ***
Faris steps back from the door, shaking her head as she turns back to Butz 
again. "You know," she says, looking at the suit, then at Tasuki. "...you 
weren't exactly helpful in that." She then, calmly, walks over to offer Butz a 
hand.
Faris also glances at Ryan. "Will the man make it, do you think?" She wasn't 
close enough to get a look... not as close as the others were.
Eden runs up toward the fallen man, dropping down beside him.
Lyrae (OOC) watches 911 get simultaneous calls from Ryan and Rachel both n.n
Butz stands shakily, making his way towards the man. Kneeling, he places a palm 
to the temples. "...Shiromahou Curega..." The wound slowly closes, and the body 
is actually more healthy than it was before Ryuji decided to make him a part of 
his evening's entertainment. Butz stands, looking far more dizzy than he was 
earier. "...*erp*..."
Ryan says, "IF a doctor gets here in time..."   . o O ( !@^! disembowled... 
I'll KILL that !@^*! ogre )
Lyrae, with one hand against her ribs, follows Eden.
Faris looks up at Ryan. Well, that sounds different. "Get away from her. Give 
me room." All of a sudden, she sounds more urgent. "is it that bad?"
Hardsuit Red calls 911 and cancels the response.
Eden blinkblinks at the healing, then looks over him to be sure. "Are you all 
right?"
Lyrae steps backwards, looking at Butz, then at the others.
Tasuki walks over to the man, to help him, but then blinks into surprise as the 
wound is healed...seemingly out of nowhere. "The hell...?" He sheathes his 
tessen. . o O (I need a drink...)
Ryan (OOC) Aw, hell with it. Say I waited around until things cleared up, then 
went to sleep. You you all later (EXCEPT Ryuji   o.=; )
Hardsuit Red whispers, "Gee, you're a fun date..." to you.
Yamazaki (OOC) :p
Butz makes his way to the outside wall, which he leans against. Taking measured 
breaths, he closes his eyes and once more attempts to gather himself. 
Replenishing your energy only to spend it again isn't a healthy practace.
Faris shakes her head, looking at Butz. "You know, I could have done that as 
easily as you could have." She says it in a tone that suggests she could swat 
him right now. "Easier, in fact." Limp. Limp.
Eden stands up stiffly, relieved to see that the man is now unhurt.
You page, ""Yeah, unfortunately."   c.c" to Rachel.
Butz (OOC) glomps da oaf. u.u "Take care, beefy."
