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.

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 [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.

Obelisk : Room 508 - Ryan's Apartment(#618R)



One word springs to mind as you walk into Ryan's apartment: cluttered. Stuff is 

strewn everywhere, from the multitude of shelves tht line the wall, to the 

comic books and CD's on the floor.

     The main room, which makes up most of the apartment, has apparently been 

relegated to storage duty. Aside from the King-sized bed, the desk, and the TV, 

all the rest of the furniture here is book shelves. As you look the shelves 

over, you see a roughly equal proportion of both scholarly texts (physics 

textbooks, archaeological logs, etc.), and comic books. How unusual. Hooked up 

to the TV is a wide variety of video game consoles, some no longer supported.

     The small kitchenette and bathroom are comparatively unremarkable.

>Ryan looks at Lyrae. "Do you know where they're holding her? Specific room?"

>Lyrae isn't staring back, she's still got her face covered.

>Derek goes over next to Lyrae, frowning

>Lyrae blinks and pulls her hands away, wiping away tears, "...Um. I didn't see 

her in the room," she stammers through sniffles, "But she's on the Research and 

*Chokes* Development level"

>Lyrae glomps onto Derek, sobbing pitifully

>Derek blinks and looks down, whatever he was about to say cut off..

>Ryan grabs some rope and a grappling hook, and tosses it at Derek. "We 

obviously won't be able to use the elevator..."

>Ryan asks, "What floor is that, Lyrae?"

>Belldandy pages, " Wait, that's not at the door, it's coming from

>Belldandy nods and looks over at Derek. And then at Lyrae. With a sigh, she 

shakes her head, "I found out more about the dagger as you asked, Derek."

>Ryan blinks. "Belldandy...? I'm sorry, but there's an immediate emergency..."

>Lyrae narrows her eyes slightly and slips out the door quietly.

>Lyrae stops following you you. 

>Derek goes over, "Hey, Lyrae, wait up a moment.." He puts and arm around her

Derek, "Lyrae, come here for a moment, please?"

Obelisk Apartments: Fifth Floor



Exactly as you'd expect.  The clean hallways of this floor are maintained by a

fragrant, potted plants also dispell any odors that might make their way inside

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.

Odin Avenue [300]



Odin Avenue is part of the zoned residential area of Midgaard, and while the 

homes this close to the city square might perhaps be made for a richer and more 

modern taste, there is no doubt that Odin Avenue, the east side, is for the old 

fashioned.  Historical old homes, some still lived in, some for sell, and some 

in various stages of degrade, neglect, and disrepair, can be found here for a 

modest sum for the average salary of a Midgaardian.  The Midgaard Housing 

Agency also makes it easier to set up a plan for you to own your own home.

Intersection: Odin/Sif



The old, antiquish homes of Eastern Odin part ways for a moment, to let more 

modern ones and private businesses have the right of way along Sif Way to the 

north and south.  In the distance to the west, the homes give way to the 

Midgaard City Square, while to the east, they continue on for as far as you can 

see..farther east, some of the older plots have yielded to newer, larger 

structures surrounding what appears to be a forested area.

Fenris Drive [200]



Fenris Drive is the home of those..questionable wealthy individuals and 

families.  They keep to themselves in their lush, private abodes..thus, the 

fences and stone walls here are all tall, and unforgiving.  Some of the gates 

have high-tech security systems attached to make sure noone unwelcome may 

enter.  Who knows what goes on inside those large houses?  But one thing's for 

sure..the residents of Fenris Drive are rarely seen in public.  To the west, 

you can see the intersection where Fenris meets with its 'cousin', 

Heimdall..and directly to the east, the street and road yields to the iron 

fencing surrounding a large borealic park and lake.

Ginsu_Kataki



Before you stands a young man within a black trenchcoat, which surrounds his 

skinny structured body, concealing anything which may be seen underneath.  

Although, it is noticed that he is wearing black gloves upon his hands, along 

with black boots upon his feet.  Also, the top of a black turtle neck shirt 

undreneath the trenchcoat.  Their hair appears to be a pitch black color, 

while their skin appears to be slightly pale.

>Ginsu Kataki unsheaths his sword afterward he notices the three enter, "Or, 

maybe you were delaying me.  They are here."

>Lyrae groans under her breath and curls up on the ground o O ( Failed AGAIN... 

they're too fast.. I could've... )

>Derek's sword makes a steely hiss as he draws it, "YOU!" Yep, he looks pretty 

pissed off..

>Ryan removes the saftey. He says, more than a tad sarcastically, "You have 5 

seconds to hand Lyrae and Kim over before you become a smoking boot..."

>Ginsu Kataki steps out slowly, as he watches them with a smirk. "I'm afraid... 

Lyrae does not wish to leave, and Kim was a present from her to Esmerelda... 

Sensou Enterprises new partner."

>Belldandy pauses a moment before she steps around the two gentlemen and starts 

walking towards Lyrae. In a calm voice, she calls to the girl, "Lyrae? Come 

over here with me, please?"

>Ryan says, "Well, you know, I wonder what Kim would say about that. 3 seconds."

>Lyrae looks at Belldandy uneasily, slowly crawling backwards with wide eyes.

>Ryan... waits for Belldandy. She seems better at this...

>Derek grits his teeth, "You lying bastard!" If you were stupid enough to be 

close enough to see his eyes, they're almost flickering more than normally..

>Ginsu Kataki smiles softly at Derek, "Lieing?  Lyrae...  Tell them."

>Lyrae looks at Ginsu, "Nani?"

>Belldandy smiles at Lyrae, "It's alright, you don't have to be afraid, Lyrae." 

She keeps walking towards her.

>Ginsu Kataki smirks again, as he says simply, "Tell them of your new 'job', 

Lyrae."

>Ryan says, mostly to Derek, "Don't believe anything either of them says... 

Lyrae's been brainwashed, and Bell-sama can back that up."

>Derek looks over at Belldandy, managing to blink..

>Lyrae narrows her eyes at Belldandy, "Stay away from me." she blinks at Kataki, 

and slowly gets to her feet, moving behind him as she utters, "I'm a Sensou 

reconaissance scout." She grips Kataki's arm tightly.

>Ryan fires a warning shot a few feet to Lyrae and Kataki's right. Tears up most 

of the pavement for a good 100 feet... "I am NOT in the mood for this, Kataki."

>Derek's eyes SNAP back to Lyrae and Kataki. He stares in disbelief, "No.." his 

hand grips his sword tightly, "NooooooOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" >_<

>Ryan . o O ( Whoa, woah! Calm down Derek... )

>Derek exclaims, "(OOC) Piss off, YOU calm down!"

>Lyrae blinks at the yell, as she inches behind Kataki quietly, closing her 

eyes. o O ( .... )

>Ryan (OOC) bidaahs Derek. "I have the gun. Want to take that back?"

>A moment after Ryan had sent his attack, gaurds from all around begin to come 

out from the shadows, and stand from high above the rooftops.  Kataki shakes his 

head, "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan...  I wouldn't try that if I were you.  Unless you have 

a wish to end your life so early."

>Ryan smiles. "Just making sure you aren't as stupid as you look."

>Lyrae quietly says, "....."

>Belldandy looks over at Derek and frowns. She also takes a step back . o O ( Oh 

my. He's actually using his gift? ) o.o;

>Ginsu Kataki smiles, while tilting his head slightly to the side.  For now, he 

says no orders to Lyrae, but he does speak to Ryan, "Myself?  Stupid?  I wasn't 

the one who fell for the trap which Lyrae helped lay for you all."

>Ryan takes a step forward. "I don't believe you for a minute, bastard." He 

takes another step. "You also seemed to have forgotten one key part, Kataki. Do 

you know what it is, or should I tell you?"

>Lyrae keeps her face hidden behind Kataki, biting her lower lip hard, her eyes 

misting slightly. o O ( .... )

>Derek scowls and suddenly thrusts his hand towards Kataki for some reason..even 

though he's a good distance away..

>Yuffie arrives from the west.

>Lyrae is currently hiding behind Kataki, Yuffie :) How's those footprints? :D

>Yuffie steps in, trailed by a small group of shinobi.  And Kigou was the one to 

be run-over. ;)

>Bad timing. Guards everywhere, a spoking hole in the ground from Ryan's blaster 

shot, and EVERYONE is tensed up. Well, maybe not Belldandy.

>Ginsu Kataki jerks his head slightly a bit, though even if he feels a bit of 

pain he takes it.  He is the top fighter of Sensou Enterprises after all, "Very 

stupid, whoever pulled that off.  Lyrae...  kill Derek Hunter." He says nothing 

to Ryan, though.

>Belldandy blinks and goes back over with Derek and Ryan, looking around the 

area with a worried frown.

>Lyrae blinks at the order, her eyes widening as she looks at Kataki, "No.. 

please not..."

>( One of the shinobi steps forward, whispering into Yuffie's ear.  The girl 

blinks, her gaze moving to Ryan.  She nods, then grins, not really taking 

notice of the general crowd. )

>Lyrae puts a hand to her head miserably.

>Ryan points his gun directly at Kataki. "You seem to forget. You may kill us, 

but I got my sights trained right on YOU, Kataki. You try to kill us, you die 

too. I proved my reflexes earlier...."

>Derek blinks, "Lyrae, no!"

>Ryan asks, "So... call off the goon squad?"

>Yuri arrives from the west.

>Ginsu Kataki repeats: "Lyrae... Kill Derek Hunter." and he smirks to Ryan, as 

he says simply, "You seem to forget our own defences yourself."

>Lyrae takes several steps back, shaking slightly as her free hand moves to her 

pocket..

>Yuffie whispers back to the ninja, pointing at Ryan.  The shinobi blinks, then 

nods, extracting a blow-dart gun from his belt.

>Ryan moves directly between Derek and Lyrae, slinging the blaster over his 

shoulder. Better thank me for this later, Derek...

>Derek exclaims, "Ryan, no, keep out of this!"

>The shinobi takes a breath, aiming with the blowgun... then spits a sleeping 

dart at Ryan.

>Yuri walks into the area, puzzling over a map while out on a patrol. "Where 

does THIS stree..." in hearing the commotion, she glances up.. O.O

>Lyrae shakes silently, her hand snapping upwards as she narrows her eyes at 

Ryan, holding the gun .. and yes, with tears in her eyes.

>Ryan says, "I'm already IN this, you idiot!" Poke. Wobble. Thud.    z.z

>Lyrae blinks o.o

>Derek growls and slams his fist towards Kataki again..

>Suddenly, three shinobi dashes forward, moving to grab Ryan and get him away... 

before anyone notices? ^_^;

>Yuri blinks, clearing her eyes as she immediately responds with the training 

she's been readied for. "3WA!!" she yells, "Nobody move!!" . o O (Like THAT'll 

work Yuri, for sure...)

>Not likely. Grabbing Ryan's easy, now that he's unconscious, but everyone's 

watching...

>Lyrae's right arm shakes as she pulls off three shots.. into the air. Gee, 

when'd her arm move that high?

>*Squawk* *chirp* Squeak!* 

>Yuffie blinkblinks, then grabs a handfull of smoke grenades, tossing them at 

the ground around the crowd. >.<

>Belldandy watches Derek calmly . o O ( He's building up a lot of emotion. ) 

Without a word, she starts walking towards Lyrae again, paying little heed to 

what else is going on.

>Ginsu Kataki turns her head slowly towards Lyrae, as he says softly, "Now 

Lyrae.  Kill him." And, of course many gaurds are pointing their guns at Ryan, 

so yeah they probably notice.  He then blinks again, as his gut jerks back 

slightly.  He snaps his head at Derek after, "Bad move."

>Lyrae pays no mind to Yuri, throwing her a panicked pleading glance as her 

expression shutters, hardening as her gun hand  swings on Belldandy, "That's 

far enough."

>Yuri STARES at the shinobi. "WHAT the..." and, not bothering with further 

questions, she fires a few shots in their direction, glancing at Derek in 

concern. o O (What kinda fun is /HE/ involved in?)

>Derek scowls angrily at Kataki, "Shut up.." he growls out.. -_-

>Ryan is... er... out of it. Thanks a LOT Yuffie. Sheesh.

>The silvery orbs roll along the ground... then explode in a faint hiss of smoke 

and obscuring dust.

>Ginsu Kataki smirks after, as he then says, "Change in plans, Lyrae.  Kill that 

girl.  I will handle Derek.... personaly."

>Hey, Godo ordered that Kim and the others bring back Yuffie, not Kigou.  Now he 

wants to thank the three, *personally* ;)

>Belldandy . o O ( Metal of the earth, hear my plea, loosen thy tension and 

accept this freedom! )

>Lyrae looks at Kataki, shaking slightly.

>Yuri . o O ( All I wanted was a date! ;_; well.. this'll do.  Good exercise for 

anyways, burn those calories! )

>Belldandy makes a gesture at the gun Lyrae's holding (OOC: which should fall 

apart nicely now.)

>Lyrae wrinkles her nose at the smoke, just as her gun falls apart, "Cheap Toys 

'R Us models.."

>Derek grips his weapon at the ready, watching Kataki with narrowed eyes..

>Okay, now the ninjas go for Ryan. ^_^

>Belldandy steps forward a few more feet, "Lyrae, why not come with me? We can 

go somewhere quiet and talk about things."

>Lyrae answers flatly, "No."

>Ryan is in absolutely no condition to complain   x.x   Gee, I always miss the 

fun stuff.

>Ginsu Kataki walks towards Derek after, as he keeps his sword drawn on his 

side. "One on one, Derek.  No guns, and no magic.  Do you agree to the terms?" 

. o O ( Except for perhaps one or two from me. )

>Derek scowls, "I don't use magic anymore.. And it's your funeral.."

>Yuri hesitates, glancing back and forth.  Finally she yells in Ginsu's general 

direction, with the normal tact you may expect from her, "HOLD IT! Just who the 

heck do you think you /ARE/ anyway!?"

>Lyrae keeps backing away from Belldandy.

>The ninjas merely tie Ryan up and place a homing beacon in his sock so they can 

find him later, when needed. ^_^  Then they scatter and follow Yuffie as she 

runs off... somewhere. O.o;

>Yuffie walks west.

>Ryan snores    z.z

>Belldandy holds her hand out towards Lyrae, "It's alright, I want to help you." 

. o O ( I might have to use a sleep spell if she panicks. )

>Lyrae growls quietly, keeping her distance from Belldandy as she directs her 

comment to Yuri, "Stay out of this.." A soft 'please' goes unheard.

>Lyrae makes a cutting motion at Belldandy, "I don't *WANT* to be helped. Least 

of all by the likes of /you/."

>Derek looks over quickly and BLINKS! . o O ( Yuri? Oh geez, why me? ) O_o;

>Ginsu Kataki draws his sword slowly, as he states to Yuri, "Head of the 

security division of Sensou Enterprises, and I also run the Midgaard division 

of it."  Although, he does not look to her, he just continues walking to Derek, 

as he says, "Funeral?  If you believe that, you are far too naiive.  Feel free 

to attack, Derek."

>Ryan has become one with the scenery   *snore*

>Yuri ponders that a moment, thoughtfully as she taps her lips in a rather 

ridiculous posture, given the circumstances. "Sensou? HEY! That's.. /THAT/ 

company!"

>Lyrae sweatdrops at Yuri.

>Derek holds his sword tightly with both hands, crouches, and then dashes at 

Kataki to engage him, preparing a thrust..

>Yuri glances at Lyrae, frustrated. "Stay out of it!? We can't just let a cute 

guy like Derek fight someone as UGLY as that it's just not right!" o.o

>Ryan would be beating all you villains with his unmatched skill! ... If he 

wasn't unconscious.

>Belldandy looks over at Derek . o O ( Good luck, Dancer. ) She looks back at 

Lyrae, "Please, Lyrae?" and motions her over with her hand.

>Yuri >.> at Ryan.. o O (He's kinda cute too.. more Kei's type.)

>Lyrae twirls around and snatches a gun away from the guard behind her, "I 

wasn't suggesting it." She snarls, firing once at Yuri, then again at Belldandy.

>Lyrae growls at Belldandy, "I told you once already, /no/."

>Belldandy turns her hand over, holding it out in front of her, and the shot 

stops in midair before falling to the ground.

>Yuri, unfortunately, just spent a second too long examining Ryan with the eyes 

of a girl looking for cute guys.  Just barely in time, she cartwheels backwards 

away from the blast, but as she comes back to her feet her eyes /WIDEN/. "My 

hair..." she whispers, touching a singed portion of her dark mane where the 

bolt just grazed it.

>Lyrae . o O ( Che. I need a dagger with the blood of the Hyne.." )"

>Ginsu Kataki SNAPS his sword quickly at Derek's, and HARD too.  However, even 

with such a hard swipe from underneath at the thrust, it didn't move his 

position even a bit.  This guy isn't going to be so easy, it seems....

>Ryan would get along quite well with Yuri, if he were moving

>Yuri whispers, "She shot my hair..."

>Lyrae looks at Yuri o O ( ... o.o )

>Yuri taps her earring, a light blinking from it. "KEI! I need backup!! 

......And eject Mughi's weapons pod!"

>Belldandy brings her other hand up to her chest, "Very well then, Lyrae." She 

closes her eyes and chants, "Spirits of the dream realm, answer my call, come 

forth upon the world of light to spread your passive rest!" Maybe she puts a 

little -too- much in it, because the sleep spell envelopes the entire area.

>Ryan would be charging though those lackeys with ease! If he weren't drugged. 

He's not bitter. He'd have to be awake to be bitter.

>Derek snarls at Kataki, his sword barely budging from the parry. He quickly 

whips the blade around and swings it upward towards Kataki's head..

>Yuri, firing a few shots from her petite hand blaster towards a few of the 

guards surrounding Lyrae, her face more serious than normal.  Or more irked.  

Something.  In the distance, a soft whine can begin to be heard coming from the 

air..

>Ginsu Kataki quickly snaps a sai out from his other side, and snaps it upwards 

towards the sword and easily blocks it.  Though, he doesn't strike just yet, 

even though he probably could easily kill Derek.  He wants his fun first....

op doesn't apparently, not that it matters

>Ryan mumbles in his sleep. "... Yes...  a... hot oil... rub... would be nice... 

Gina..."   z.z

>Several guards leaning on the roof slowly lean over and aim at poor Yuri and 

Bell. Yah, they feel big, picking on little girls (snort). However, two or 

three on the roof abruptly pitch forward and fall off the roof, landing on 

their kiesters, fast asleep, and a couple others. Lyrae however, is no nowhere 

to be seen. Having heard Bell's chant, and feeling a bit of the effects, she 

decided it would be best to back on out where she'd be safest.

>Derek quickly lets go of his sword, still holding it against Kataki's sai, and 

throws a punch at his shoulder..

>Derek lets one of his hands fall from gripping his sword, still locked with 

Kataki's sai, and throws a punch at his shoulder..

>Lyrae is really curled up in a circle of guards, trying to wake up ^_^ Oh 

wait.. those guards were being shot at by Yuri weren't they? Doh. Well okay, 

several of those take hits, but nothing fatal, fortunately, as those who can, 

return fire.

>Ginsu Kataki's face gains a smirk while he quickly ducks to the side of Derek 

with ease, and he doesn't really make too much of an attempt to make any attack 

just yet either.  For now, he lets Derek make all of the moves.

>Yuri EEEEEKS, rolling backwards away from the impending shots /just/ a hair 

before they hit, scorching the ground.  Glancing up with a roll of her eyes, 

her grim face quickly begins to smile as the harsh whine comes closer, 

revealing itself to be what /appears/ to be a rather LARGE sphere surrounded by 

a tripod, their thrusters firing as they lower towards the ground about 25-30 

meters away quickly.  On two sides of the tripod you can see cute little 

designs.. one appears to be that of an SD black panther, the other appears to 

be Yuri from the shoulders up, SD as well and holding out a V with her fingers 

and winking.  As the pod slams into the ground, the pavement cracks hard and 

the reverberations can be felt around the area.. not enough to unbalance 

anyone, just noticeable.  A hatch opens from it...

>Kei has arrived.

>Kei steps out of the pod, wielding a very very large blaster. One so big that 

she needs both her arms to hold it. She mutters briefly about a dumb cat's 

piloting, which is met with a loud growl from inside the pod.  Then she looks 

up at all of you and smiles widely,  aiming her blaster in a wide arc. "Hi!" 

she says in a very dangerously low sweet voice. "I'm Kei.  And if you so much 

as _blink_, you're _DEAD_!"

>Lyrae bites her hand HARD, x.x

>( One guard blinks. )

>Kei immediately FIRES, sending lots of ammos towards the guard.

>From the clear bubble inside the pod, anyone who looks will see a rather /BIG/ 

black panther with glowing eyes piloting the thing! Uncomfortably, it flashes a 

V at the bystanders.

>The guard goes down, and messily.

>Kei says, "I SAID don't BLINK!"

>Kei says, "Yuri! Where the hell're you?"

>Derek, without so much of a blink, whips a backfist towards Kataki's face, 

pulling it back whether it hits or not..

>Yuri runs right on past Kei, grumbling under her breath about someone DARING to 

shoot her hair! THE NERVE!! She ducks into the pod..

>Ryan is quite unconscious, through no fault of his own    z.z

>Ten guards look at each other, then at Kei and Yuri. And open fire *BLAMBLAM*

Belldandy looks around and starts walking over to where she saw Lyrae, not 

paying any attention to the firefight. And not getting hit either.

>Ginsu Kataki doesn't even blink, as he quickly snaps his sword out to block 

that 'backfist' while he ducks to the side.  He may not beat him, but if the 

backfist hits, it will hurt... ^_-

>With a low snarl, a figure springs past Belldandy, slashing at the goddess, 

then scampering back into the thick of the crowds.

>Kei dives, tumbling under the fire, yanking her blaster up to shoot at the 

guards, continuing to tumble. "Come on, you wanna wave those little guns at 

me??? I got a BIGGER one!!" *BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM*

>Yuri ducks back out of the pod.  Her outfit is.. to say the least, not a good 

omen, and QUITE obviously so.

>l yuri



Yuri



The extremely pretty young lady before you is wearing a /very/ daring outfit, 

to say the least. Or a uniform, as the case is.  Perhaps five and a half feet 

tall, her long blue-black hair flows down to the small of her back, with a few 

locks falling forefront to her shoulders.  The top of her outfit is best 

described as something between a halter and a bikini top with a small collar, 

made of some type of yellow plastic looking material and lined in red.  The 

ensemble is cut DARINGLY low to reveal quite a bit of her ample bosom, her 

fairly pale white skin contrasting with the bright material.  The 'bottom' of 

the outfit is very similar to a bikini bottom as well although a bit higher 

upon her hips and slim waist.  Like the top, the material here is a bright 

yellow outlined in red and very form- fitting.  A horizontal oval of sorts is 

cut out of either side of the bottom, revealing a little more skin. Her outfit 

is presently made all the more unusual by the powered suit she's wearing! Just 

below her thighs on either side, two matching multi-loading rather heavy 

looking missile racks are attached via yellow straps snug about her upper legs 

and waist, with a pair of ammo lines feeding from each of the packs to the pack 

on her back.  This pack, attaching over each shoulder like armor, includes 

quite the arsenal needed for the work of the Lovely Angels.  A multitude of 

additional straps are about her waist, hips and shoulders to balance out the 

weight. Each shoulder of the pack appears to contain various hidden 

compartents, their contents not immediately obvious, while a pair of meter-long 

straight wings are unfolded at an angle up and towards each side of her, for 

the thrusters contained within the pack.  Over her head, a communique set 

includes an antenna next to her left ear, and a microphone reaching to just 

before her mouth upon the other side.  While a thick, silver bracelet encircles 

her upper left arm in a bizarre fashion statement, there's no mistaking the 

rather /large/ automatic rifle held in her hands, far and away different from 

her ordinarily petite handgun.  With a wink from her angelic face, there's 

little doubt she's ready for more than a little action.

Carrying:

WWWA Blaster, and Utility Belt[Unlocked]


>l kei



Kei



A voluptuous redhead in a red-trimmed yellow bikini, Kei is one half of the 

infamous WWWA trouble-shooting team known as the Lovely Angels.  Short-trimmed 

hair tumbles about her face, held out of her eyes solely by a blue headband.

A holster to her side contains a large, bulky gun. The second you notice, Kei's 

hand goes down to the gun, keeping a wary eye on you.

Carrying:

Kei's WWWA Identification, WWWA blaster, and Midgaard City Map


>Derek's wristband hits the edge of the sword, and there a noticable , 

like metal hitting metal. "Bastard.." he yanks his arm back, "What'd you do to 

her?"

>"GYACK! She's a lunatic!" "DEMONS! They're DEMONS I tell ya!" Those guards that 

can, duck behind cover and continue firing. The more skilled snipers aim from 

the roof, sighting our Lovely Angels while the others keep them distracted.

Kei reaches into her skimpy outfit. Come on, where did she leave the frag 

grenade?

>What's a frag grenade? c.c

>Ryan is SOOOO outclassed he doesn't even notice it. Though that may be because 

he's unconscious.

>A grenade that explodes, sending thousands of little shrapnel everywhere. 

You'll end up looking like a porcupine.

>Oh how lovely..

>Belldandy turns to follow what jumped at her, the swipe seemingly passing right 

through her.

>Ginsu Kataki smirks at Derek, while he says, "Me?  Nothing.  Lyrae joined us 

out of choice, Derek.  It seems she prefers the company over you, doesn't it?" 

>He SWINGS his sword then towards Derek's side while he laughs.

>Ryan is a body here! No grenades near the unconscious guy, please! Please?

>Belldandy sighs . o O ( The others can take care of themselves. This needs to 

be done. )

>Another figure, this one female, scrambles towards Ryan and tugtugs him 

backwards. Lyrae(?) is standing by the fire hydrant, silent.

>Yuri, diving to the side and falling to her knees, winks once in Derek's 

general direction.. whether he sees her or not.. and throws her card at a group 

of guards, a low humm filling the air behind it. (OOC if you don't know what 

that is from the series.. imagine a little metal credit card thingie, sharper 

than piano wire, and is thrown a lot like the Chakhram thingie from Xena.)

>( One gaurd pulls out a grenade, "Oooooh, bubbie... Lets knock everyone 

unconcious with this and pull that unconcious boy away and FRISK him! *_*" )

>Derek (OOC) DIES LAUGHING

>Yuri (OOC) LAUGHS!!!

>Ryan (OOC) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

>Ryan (OOC) The spoofer SHALL DIE

>Derek (OOC) runs over to Mukki and Bubbie, "Psst, see Kataki over there? I 

heard he likes the two of you!"

>Lyrae (OOC) ROTFLMAO at the spoofer

>Kei can't find the frag grenade, darn it. "YURI! HURRY UP!!!" she shouts as she 

continues to make target practice out of guards... and probably anyone else who 

even LOOKS hostile.

>Ginsu Kataki (OOC) @.@ at Derek.

>Yuri doesn't even remember who shot her hair, just that one of the bad guys 

did.  Therefore, they die. ^.^

>Ryan is a very tempting target. Um, somebody drag me out of ground zero? 

Bell-sama? Derek?   ;_;

>Several guards @DUCK the card. Thank god that thing isn't very accurate.. 

however one guard does stand sooner than he should, and the card, on it's happy 

trail back, gets slashed across the neck

>The figure is pulling Ryan out of range

>Kei duuucks. "Yuri! Not the Bloody Card(tm)!!!" she shouts back, as she 

continues to fire wildly.

>Belldandy stands in the middle of a firefight, looking around for Lyrae.

Derek snaps his sword around, reversing his hold on his sword to parry the 

strike. He GLARES at Kataki, his eyes flashing as he growls..

>Whoever it is that was tugging Ryan away, leaves him in an alley a few blocks 

down.

>Ryan hopes it's not Mukki, but he isn't complaining at this point   x.x

>Yuri catches her card, tucking it back into a pocket.  Glancing up at some of 

the guards on a rooftop, she winks at them as well before.. leaning back.. both 

missile packs of her power suit unload towards them! And, naturally, miss 

completely.. slamming into the next building down, which in turn begins to 

crumble like it was just hit by a demolitions team from hell.  The noise is, as 

you may expect, considerable.

>The guards on the roof sweatdrop and LAUGHS, then snipshot at Yuri and Kei 

s'more

>Ginsu Kataki blinks slightly, as he is SMACKED back a bit of a ways.  He 

_FROWNS_, "Not very smart........ Derek Hunter." He holds his sword forward, as 

he then slides his fingers along one materia. "......Bolt3." And, suddenly, a 

HUGE explosion of lightning STRIKES down onto Derek.  And, lightening and metal 

don't mix well, ne?

>Yuri sweatdrops... "......Oopsie."

>Derek seems to get slammed by the bolt..but as the flash fades, he's still 

standing, his sword glowing rather brightly, "No magic, huh?"

>Kei aieessssss as the top of her bikini gets clipped. "HEY! Not on the first 

date!" She growls, dashing for the building, reaching down her bodysuit's 

bottom to find that dagnabit frag grenade!

>Someone aims a grenade launcher down at the ground.. and fires.

>Yuri EEEKS at the incoming sniper shots, diving in a roll to the other side of 

the pod.  Inside it, Mughi claps two paws over his eyes, mournfully growling.

>Yuri (OOC) winks at Kei.

>Belldandy says, "(OOC) Oh my. o.o;"

>Ginsu Kataki slides his Sai away afters, while he smirks, "Easily fixed," and 

he pulls out his gun, "These bullets can get through almost anything.  Even you 

probably can not stop this, Derek." He points the gun at Derek after, and he 

walks towards him.  Yes, hes loaded to the bear with weapons.

>Something suddenly SLAMS into Kataki's side

>Kei pulls out a nice fraggin' grenade, her back hugging the wall as she looks 

up. She brings the grenade to her mouth, pulls out the pin with her teeth, and 

then hurls the fragging thing up onto the rooftop.

>*tickticktick* Look ma, it's raining body parts..

>Derek clenches his teeth . o O ( Bastard.. I hope I practiced enough.. )

>Ginsu Kataki pulls the trigger the _second_ before he is slammed into, and it 

flies off towards Derek, but right after he is SLAMED to the side.  He skids 

along the ground, but keeps his balance.  It's going to take alot more to beat 

this guy.

>Ryan is at least out of the way now   z.z

>Yuri, coming around the pod, glares balefully at the mongrel on the rooftop 

firing at her, her hair, and everyone else! "HEY!!".  The left shoulder of her 

suit unpacks itself, a long tube pulling out of it and straight up, which 

unfolds forward twice, revealing what seems to be a half-barrel.  A rather 

RIDICULOUSLY oversized shell slides into place on the railgun, an SD picture of 

Yuri on the side of it.

>Lyrae looks over at Kataki.

>Derek screams and thrusts his palm outward, the bullet suddenly taking another 

course as it deflects off of some unseen barrier..

>( One of the snipers SWEATDROPS at Yuri. "Oh bloody hell.." )

>Derek (OOC) O_o

>Kei grins, holding her large blaster very close to her chest, almost like she 

was ready to kiss it. "My baby... just hold on a little longer..." before she 

suddenly spins around to point the blaster at Kataki. "ALL RIGHT, MISTER, HOLD 

IT RIGHT THERE BEFORE I BLOW YOU OUTTA YOUR BOOTS!"

>Yuri, an amused pout on her lips, FIRES! The shell lobs itself directly towards 

the guards on that roof, a smoke trail spiraling behind it peacefully...

>Derek (OOC) knows that line! He pulls out the Alhana plushie he grabbed from 

Ryan's place and pulls the string, "What the bloody hell?"

>Ryan (OOC) giggles   ^^;

>Yuri (OOC) o_O

>Ryan (OOC) In-joke

>Lyrae (OOC) *GIGGLES*

>Kei (OOC) o_o

>Ginsu Kataki frowns at Derek, while the bullet SNAPS through another gaurds 

head.  He steps back afterwards, as he nods to the gaurds. "Send the asshole to 

oblivion." Then, a few of the gaurds aim their guns at Derek.........  And, 

yes, Kataki ignores Kei.

>Belldandy scans the area, trying to keep an eye on things. As she hears Derek 

yell, she looks over . o O ( He used the shield? He's a fast learner. o.o )

>There's a noise from the rooftop much akin to a mouse's squeak when it sees a 

cat, as the people on the rooftop SCRAMBLE off the roof any way they can, as 

the shell flies up towards them

>Kei starts firing at Kataki, howling maniacally like a goddess of destruction, 

baby, it's destrucity! *_*

>Lyrae (OOC) .. o.o at Kei. Mother I'm scared..

>Derek looks at the guards and holds his sword in front of him, parallel to the 

ground. Snapping his eyes at them, his sword flashes again, "BOLT3!" Snapping 

the sword into both hands, he swings it at them, lightning arcing out at the 

guards..

>Ginsu Kataki steps behind a few gaurds, whome happen to take the shots for him. 

 He pushes his way through towards the company, as he looks to Lyrae and says, 

"The mission is a failure.  Come, Lyrae." And, then he pushes his way into the 

company building right after.

>Yuri, turning away from the rooftops, /stares/ in horror at Derek's situation. 

She mutters, "...He's too CUTE to die yet!" >.< flicking a switch on her gun, 

the current magazine drops to the ground.  Flicking another switch, the stock 

suddenly springs out and locks into place, the barrel sliding back just a bit.  

Slamming another magazine of armor piercing teflon hollowpoints into it, she 

flips it to full auto and just begins FIRING on any guards she sees whatsoever! 

"Much too cute!"

>Ryan slowly begins to wake up. "...? ... ... ...?"

>Kei's wild eyes spins towards whoever Kataki was directing that towards. 

Lyrae...? She spins to aim the blaster. "Hey, chick, where do you think you're 

going???"

>Belldandy suddenly appears at the doors, right after Kataki goes in.

>Lyrae looks down at Ryan.

>Ryan is still a useless lump at this point   x.x

>Like that's anything new?

>Lyrae hasn't gone anywhere yet. She pulled Ryan out harms way. She looks away 

from the useless lump, looking towards Kei. "...."

>Kei exclaims, "Drop the hunk and reach for the sky, chick, you ain't going 

nowhere!"

>Pan arrives from the west.

>Lyrae quietly says, "....."

>Pan-chan waves

>Yuri ejects her magazine from the automatic rifle as soon as it's depleted, 

slaps another into place, and just continues unloading.  She's looking more 

than a little annoyed at this point! Barring any guards pointing towards her or 

Derek, she focuses a little more on Kataki's position, the shells slamming 

through the concrete building easily enough. o O (Someone that ugly shouldn't 

be able to leave, says so in the rulebooks!)

>Lyrae glances away from Ryan, still kneeling beside him, towards Pan.

Of course, plenty of gaurds are protecting Lyrae eitherway, they move to stand 

in front of her and point their guns towards Kei.  While, a few others whome 

remain standing toss their grenades down towards Derek.

>Derek pants, catching his breath for a moment before yelling after someone, 

"Kataki! Get back here you bastard, I'm not done with you yet!" He reaches up 

and wipes at his nose, which happens to be bleeding a little..

>Ryan exclaims, "... Lookit... the .... pretty ... ... birdies!"

>Pan-chan blinks?

>Lyrae looks back at Ryan. "...."

>Ryan is quite dazed. The drug seems to be wearing off, but it isn't doing it 

quickly.

>Derek blinks at the incoming, "Oh sh#@!" He swings a backfist at the grenades, 

which suddenly fly off in other directions, mostly at the building..

>Kei starts firing immediately at Lyrae, aiming at taking out a few guards while 

running forward, diving into a somersault...

>Belldandy blinks as she sees Kei and starts running over, holding out a hand 

pleadingly, "No, don't hurt her!"

>Yuri SQUEAKS as one of the grenades heads towards her! Halting her fire, she 

begins to dive to the side out of harms way, but the grenade goes off too close 

by.  The weapons pod is rocked by it, and Yuri herself slams right on into the 

nearby brick wall.. x_x

>Lyrae lets out a yelp as her body suddenly shimmers, mist surrounding her as 

her solid form dissipates, the bullets passing through o O ( Too close! )

Two guards kick the bucket.

>That leaves what.. five guards left ^_^

>Immediatly, a bunch of the gaurds try to tug at Lyrae from behind and pull her 

to safty, towards the company building, which shouldn't be too far.  But, many 

of the gaurds remain in front of Lyrae, and blasts their guns at Kei.

>Pan-chan looks around, amazingly avoiding any stray bullet or weapon while she 

tries to figure out who's who.

>Derek looks over and blinks, "Yuri?" He runs over to check on her . o O ( That 

looked like it hurt.. )

>Kei bellows, "Outta way, sister!" as she dashes for Ryan/Lyrae, banging past 

Belldandy, leaping up and howling like a demon, firing!

>Ryan can almost see again now. Still immobile, and groggy   z.z

>Belldandy lets Kei run by her and then looks towards the building. She seems to 

vanish from sight..

>Kim has arrived.

>( As Yuri hits the ground a little too hard, falling forward, the force of the 

hit jolts the suit's control system.  While Derek's in mid-motion towards her, 

the remaining 3 explosive shells on the railgun slide into place.. and fire!! 

Spiraling their trails towards the building across the way, whatever it is... )

>The white mist shimmers, panicking at Kei's advance, and with a shriek, 

suddenly streaks upwards.

>Ryan is currently unconscious

>Lyrae is nowhere to be seen.

>Kim SKIDS! to a stop as she comes running out of the Sensou building.

>Kim. o O (What the...?!)

>Pan-chan wanders over to Ryan, who seems to need help.

>Yuri blinks up at Derek, her eyes unfocused.  The railgun slides back into 

place on the suit, now that it's expended.  "De.. Derek..?" she manages, 

starting to fall forward with a sigh, eyes closed..

>Kei dashes forward, diving forward to skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid on the ground, 

digging in her high heels, coming to a stop next to Ryan, holding her gun up at 

the mist.

>It seems many of the gaurds have also allready escaped too.  Hrmmm...

>Ryan . o O ( Wah... whas goin' on...? )

>Derek erks and looks around, checking to see if there's any immediate danger..

>Mist just.. hovers above everything.

>Pan-chan arrives at Ryan's side, and looks up at Kei.

>Kim. o O (I should've stayed in the lab) o.o;

>Keiko arrives from inside Fenris Park.

>Esmerelda teleports into the room.

>The three shells hit the office building just across the street, slamming 

through the concrete and steel structures.  There's a pause of momentary 

silence, then a horrible /CRASH/ as the center of the building explodes!! The 

superstructure holds, but about 4 floors are completely blown out, furniture 

and walls and glass raining down on all sides of it.

>Ryan is unconscious, with Kei and Pan over him

>Kim just stands in front of the Sensou building, watching with wide eyes.

Es-chan saunters on out from Sensou Enterprizes.  Restraightens her business 

suit.  She glances up as she notices the complete destruction . o O (ah.  I was 

wondering what the ruckus was about) as he bits and pieces fall down around her.

Belldandy reappears by Derek and sighs, "There's nothing I can do now, I'm 

afraid. She won't listen."

>Yuri mumbles, ".....  ..  ..  ..  .....  ..  ..  .....  mean  to  ..  ..  are  

you  .....  .." to Derek.

>Kim looks over her shoulder at Es and then back at the mess.

>Miki walks out, blinking. O.O;;;

>Belldandy's eyes move over to Esmerelda, then at Kim. She frowns.

>Ginsu Kataki (OOC) Oh, and Esmerelda... nobody from the company are around, 

except for a bunch of dead bodies all about. ^_^

>Yuri (OOC) hi^5's Kei. :-)

>Kei spins, straddling Ryan, protecting him as she looks for more baddies to 

shoot. *.*

>Es-chan OOC One of these days you'll listen to me Katty n.n  Don't say I didn't 

warn ya ^_-

>Ginsu Kataki (OOC) I just had to have some fun by doing something other than 

manipulation and emotional abuse. ^_^

?Derek (OOC) >_> at Ryan and snorts ^_^

>Mist is just..there, above the alley Kei and Ryan and whoever else are in.

op I am SOOO doomed

>Ryan (OOC) I am SOOO doomed

>Mist (OOC) *giggles*

>Miki says, "What in tarnation's goin' on? O.o;; I could hear the shootin' all 

the way back to-" She looks at the mess, then pales.

>Pan-chan look down into Ryan's eyes, wondering how he can 'sleep' with all the 

noise going on.

>Es-chan hrmms as she watches..assiding to Kim, "Tell me deary.. do you have any 

idea what is going on?"  As she brushes off some glass from her shoulder

>Kim says, "No.  I was trying to figure that out myself." rubbing the back of 

her neck. >.>;

>Derek blinks and nods to Yuri before he stands and scowls towards Esmerelda..

>Derek asks, "Kim, what the hell are you doing?"

>Es-chan ooooohs and smiles.  Folding her arms behind her back as she watches 

this strange destruction and death.  Smiling around happily.  Waiting for 

someone to explain before returning to her experiments.

>Kim looks over at Derek, and phews as she spots someone she recognizes, running 

over to him.

>Yuri touches the back of her head delicately. o O (Itaaaaaaaai!! I'll have to 

wash my hair again!!) A little dizzily she blinks at Esmerelda and the other 

newcomers.

>Kim says, "Am I"*boom*"late?" >.>;

>Miki then walks off. O.O;;

>Mist floats around in random circles..

>Keiko walks west.

>Kei grins, hugging her blaster, looking around. Her smile fades a bit. Uh oh... 

did we shoot anyone innocent?

>Es-chan holds out a hand to Kim, "Oh darn.. she got away." then pulls her hand 

back. ^_^  Thats about how much effort she puts into Kim retrival

>Dr. Diggers arrives in a warn glow of light! As the light fades, Dr. Diggers stands, arms 

crossed behind his back, as he scans the area.

>Es-chan looks around for Kataki.  Wondering where he is so she can say 'I told 

you so' a few dozen times over.

>Derek narrows his eyes at Kim for a moment before looking at Belldandy..

>Derek mumbles, "Can  .....  check  .....  ..  .....  .....  did  something  

.....  Lyrae  ..  .....  .....  .....  .....  do  something  to  .....  .." to 

Belldandy.

>Dr. Diggers . o O ( Gina said Ryan and a few of his friends may have been in 

trouble... it appears I was correct is arriving at this moment. )

>Belldandy glances at Derek and then regards Kim, "Kim, dear, can you come over 

here with me for a moment?"

>Pan-chan tries to move Ryan to a safer place by hefting him onto her back.  She 

does it easily, indicating she's stronger than she looks.

>Ryan is still quite unconscious, thankyouverymuch

>Ryan offers no resistance

>Kei gets off Ryan first, of course. "Hey kid, what're you doing?"

>Es-chan looks around happily at the carnage..inhales deeply ^_^  Still 

searching for signs of that blundering fool Kataki

>Kim says, "Sure."

>Pan-chan carries Ryan to some place that hasn't been blown up yet.  "Sleeping 

man need better place to sleep."

>Dr. Diggers walks towards Esmerelda   . o O ( A strong... and dark... aura... )

>Kei looks distracted, then grumbles something, turning around. "Will somebody 

tell me what happened here?!?!?!"

>Ryan doesn't seem able to elaborate    x.x

>Derek looks around, still gripping his sword tightly . o O ( Lyrae..I didn't 

see her go anywhere.. )

>Kim plugs her ears, following Belldandy.

>Ginsu Kataki isn't around, Es. o.-

>Kim falls in line behind Belldandy. 

>Belldandy says, "Excuse us a moment, Derek."

>Pan-chan carries Ryan over to Dr. Diggers, who looks like a trustworthy 

fatherly type.

>Belldandy walks west.

>Belldandy leaves, with Kim following behind her. 

>Kei strides over to Yuri, her arms crossed, nestling the blaster between her 

ample chest. "What happened?"

>Es-chan decides to wait for the group to scamper off before returning within 

the building.  Watching the others ^_^ . o O (At least this will give Sensou a 

wakeup call.  hehehe.. and of course.. my position will rise once he realizes 

what an idiot Kataki has been ^_^)

>Dr. Diggers smiles down at Pan. "Thank you, but I don't think this is a safe 

place for young children.... even talented ones."

>Mist watches the group below her, more than a little frightened of the psycho 

redhead. Maybe if she stays where she is they'll all go away .. o.o

>Kei exclaims, "(OOC) I'm NOT A PSYCHO!"

>Derek keeps looking for a few minutes before he slams his sword into the 

pavement, cleaving it rather easily, "Dammit!" He rakes his fingers through his 

hair.. -_-

>Ryan (OOC) would beg to differ. Not ICly, but still...

>Mist (OOC) giggles

>Pan-chan lloks up at Dr. Diggers, and says "Sleeping man need place to sleep."

Dr. Diggers nods to Pan, and waves his hand over Ryan.

>Es-chan glances up at the Mist..smiles . o O (A trick she learned quite well it 

seems.. *giggle*.  My my.  It would seem Sensou has another favor to thank me 

for)

>Yuri blinks up at Kei, "A bunch of UGLY guys were trying to shoot down the cute 

guys and innocents!" Her eyes turn angry, even mortified. "And one of them shot 

my HAIR!"

>Mist 'blinks', turning her attention towards Esmerelda o O ( .... )

Dr. Diggers> Ryan has left.





Obelisk : Room 508 - Ryan's Apartment(#618R)



One word springs to mind as you walk into Ryan's apartment: cluttered. Stuff is 

strewn everywhere, from the multitude of shelves tht line the wall, to the 

comic books and CD's on the floor.

     The main room, which makes up most of the apartment, has apparently been 

relegated to storage duty. Aside from the King-sized bed, the desk, and the TV, 

all the rest of the furniture here is book shelves. As you look the shelves 

over, you see a roughly equal proportion of both scholarly texts (physics 

textbooks, archaeological logs, etc.), and comic books. How unusual. Hooked up 

to the TV is a wide variety of video game consoles, some no longer supported.

     The small kitchenette and bathroom are comparatively unremarkable.

[Exits   : (O)ut ]

[Things  : Backpack(#2158), and Midgaard City Map(#1293) ]


Dr. Diggers> Es-chan smiles up at the Mist knowingly.

Dr. Diggers> Kei darts a look at Esmerelda. "What do you think of that one, Yuri?"

Dr. Diggers> Mist swirls in a circular pattern briefly before calming

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan looks up at Dr. Diggers with big eyes. "Ooo... that neat."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri looks to Esmerelda, her eyes crossing as she makes an 

indelicate sound. "No fashion sense."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers smiles at Pan. "Perhaps you could learn to do that 

with a little practice." He looks up, scanning the area.

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan smiles absently at Yuri and Kei . o O (Hrmm.. my my..what 

have we here..)

Dr. Diggers> Derek scowls and looks towards the building, reaching up to wipe 

the blood that's trickling from his nose . o O ( Rrrrrrrrrrr...bastards! )

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan says, "Hai. Me one day learn from Ogee-sama."

Dr. Diggers> Kei eyes the Mist warily. "And that's... the girl who was damn 

hell up to no good."

Dr. Diggers> Mist tucks itself into a cloudball.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri blinks, turning her eyes away from Esmerelda long enough to 

look where Kei's indicating. "Kei.." she begins, her voice placating, "..That's 

fog."

Dr. Diggers> Mist tucks itself into a cloudball.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers reaches out to put a hand on Pan-chan's head. "But 

this isn't the time to be staying around here. Why don't you run off to 

somplace safer?"

Dr. Diggers> Kei exclaims, "That's NOT fog! I tell you, the girl turned into 

that!"

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan asks, "It not safe?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods to Pan

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan asks, "Bad people here?"

Dr. Diggers> Mist is innocent harmless fog! It/She drifts calmly in the air, 

watching silently, sadly. For a moment a pair of green eyes blink in the mist, 

before vanishing again.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri makes a face as, a little more seriously, she looks at the 

mist. "How could a girl turn into.." she pauses. "Wait.." another pause. "SHE 

SHOT MY HAIR!" she yells, outraged.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods again to Pan. "But they won't be here for long." 

He looks up, to Esmerelda. "Will they?"

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan waggles a finger at the innocent fog

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan says, "Me want to fight bad men when me older."

Dr. Diggers> Derek blinks and looks at Kei and Yuri, then looks up as well . o 

O ( That's.. ) O_o;

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan gives Dr Diggers a curious glance for a moment...smiling 

as she looks back up to the fog.

Dr. Diggers> Mist swirls around Esmerelda briefly and returns to its place, 

slinking back into the alley.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers smiles. "A worthy ambition, I must admit, but you are 

a little young." He smiles, trying not to be patronizing... but he doesn't want 

to see the kid hurt.

Dr. Diggers> Kei grins suddenly. "I know. Where's that time-triggering 

concussion grenade, Yuri?"

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan smiles as the fog slinks away.. lowers her hand.

Dr. Diggers> Kei starts patting Yuri. "Where did you put it?"

Dr. Diggers> Kei exclaims, "C'mon, hurry up, get that grenade out!"

Dr. Diggers> Yuri stands up, shaking her head in disgust. Pressing a button on 

the front of her suit, the expended armor she's wearing unlatches, falling to 

the ground, leaving her in her normal WWWA outfit. She lays a hand on Derek's 

shoulder, still shaking her head from the earlier hit. "Derek..?"

Dr. Diggers> Yuri glances at Kei, nodding towards the nearby weapons pod 

piloted by Mughi. "In there!"

Dr. Diggers> Kei grumbles, then starts running for the weapons pod.

d :takes a step back from Pan, and continues walking towards Esmerelda.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers takes a step back from Pan, and continues walking 

towards Esmerelda.

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan gives Dr Diggers an indignant glance as he approaches. 

Wondering what his beef is..

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan blinks and looks around again.

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan frowns at Dr Diggers as he approaches. Apparently catching 

wind of what he is.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers walks next to Esmerelda. "Interesting meeting you 

here."

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan answers Dr Diggers as she assides, "Fancy meeting you at
 all deary."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri looks about at the destruction of the surrounding area and 

buildings, hands on her hips. "Oops..."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers looks at Esmerelda... scanning her aura... "I wonder 

if you could have caused this?"

Dr. Diggers> Mist floats in front of Esmerelda just slightly.. 'blinks' and 

looks around at the gathered, before suddenly SAILING past Kei and Yuri, 

circling them briefly and shoots past into the distance.

Dr. Diggers> Derek tries to follow the mist >_> 9_9 <_<
Dr. Diggers> Es-chan smiles as the Mist flies off. Then looks back to Dr 
Diggers, "Does it LOOK like I caused this?" she smirks

Dr. Diggers> Kei comes back, armed to the teeth, an bandolier full of grenades 

strapped across her chest. She yells, "Okay! Ready or not, here I come!!!"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "You do seem to be enjoying it."

Dr. Diggers> Derek blinks at Yuri's comment and turns around, nose still 

bleeding slightly as he looks at the two trouble consultants.. O_o

Dr. Diggers> Kei is of course carrying her big badass blaster too. *.*

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan comments, "Doesn't mean I caused it deary. Besides..that 

one over there looks far more destructive that I." she gestures to Kei over 

there

Dr. Diggers> Lyrae walks west.

Dr. Diggers> Kei blinks, looking for the mist. "HEY!"

Dr. Diggers> Yuri blinks questioningly after the mist, glancing at Derek. Then 

after the rapidly escaping mist. She echoes, "HEY!"

Dr. Diggers> Kei dashes off after it. "No you DON'T!"

Dr. Diggers> Kei walks west.

Dr. Diggers> Derek erks at Kei and holds out a hand, "No, wait!" too late..

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan answers to whom it may concern, "Someone had best stop her 

before she levels half the city.." ^_^ as she hohums..rocking back and forth on 

her heels

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Then you wouldn't mind stepping out for a few 

minutes? Things have been awfully busy lately, apparently."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri signals to Mughi to take off and get out of the area, turning 

to Derek. The yellow pod lifts up into the area, thrusters firing, and takes 

off in the distance, that rather /strange/ black panther still piloting it.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( ... This is quite a cataclysm. )

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan looks to Dr Diggers, "Deary actually I would. I have 

things I must attend to."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods to Esmerelda. "Then be careful. I'd hate to have 

to run into you again."

Dr. Diggers> Derek scowls and slams his sword into his scabbard -_-

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan comments, "So would I deary." as she waves the good Dr 

away. Then glances back into the building . o O (Now where did Kataki go off 

too..or better yet..I might as well speak to Mr Sensou about this... debaucle. 

*giggle*)

Dr. Diggers> Pan-chan bye-waves as she flies back home

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma arrives from inside Fenris Park.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers turns from Esmerelda, walking towards Derek . o O ( So 

evil... )

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma walks along, whistling to himself with hands in his 

pockets. ^_^

Dr. Diggers> Pan has left.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri rakes her hair back over her shoulders again, looking quite 

irritated once more at the singe in her hair. About to speak to Derek, she 

instead watches Dr. Diggers..

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan smiles venomously over her shoulder..giggling to herself 

as she then begins walking in Kataki's direction ^_^

Dr. Diggers> Derek looks over at Doc too (OOC: Marty! You have to get up to 88 

miles per hour!) and blinks, "Were you just talking to her?" he glacnes over at 

Esmerelda

Dr. Diggers> Es-chan enters Sensou Enterprizes.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers looks around at a few of the blasted buildings, dead 

bodies, and other such travesties. He shakes his head and sighs.

Dr. Diggers> Derek . o O ( Guy looks familiar for some reason.. )

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma pauses, looking about and fishing...uhm...a red chinese 

yo-yo from his pocket. . o O ( Hazumi-chan's in detention right now...it can't 

be her... )

Dr. Diggers> Ginsu_Kataki leaves, with Esmerelda following behind him. 

Dr. Diggers> Derek looks over at Yuri and rubs the back of his head, "Uhm, 
maybe we should go after Kei. She looked pretty riled up, and I'd hate for her
 to accidentally hurt someone.."

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma looks for someone who's vertical and asks, "Er...any idea 

what's going on here?"

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, eyes wide, nods to Derek. Holstering her sidearm, she nods 

quickly, "She's.. always that way, but yeah we probably should." Even under the 

circumstances, she offers a small smile for Derek.. n_n

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers looks over at Kazuma. "A small violent confrontation, 

but it seems to have ended now, at least here."

Dr. Diggers> Derek nods back, looking off as there are several shots fired a 

few blocks away. He sighs, "Great.."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( I wonder if there are any others like that 

dragon in this city... it would explain the massive accumulation of power here. 

)

Dr. Diggers> Yuri rolls her eyes, "Figures.." she mutters under her breath. 

"Let's go!"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers raises a hand. "Perhaps I could ask why this started 

before you go?"

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma looks in the direction of the sound and raises an eyebrow, 

nodding to the old dude.

Dr. Diggers> Derek falls in line behind Yuri. 

Dr. Diggers> Derek looks over his shoulder to the Doc, "Someone brainwashed a 

friend of mine and Ryan's! We tried to get her back, but no go.."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers clenches his fist. "That is most unfortunate... Is she 

with the company now?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers turns to look at the only slightly-dinged building c.c

Dr. Diggers> Derek scowls, eyes narrowing dangerously, "It looks like it.." -_-

Dr. Diggers> Yuri ehehehe's at the doctor.. giggling just a little too quickly. 

"EEEEeeeeeh just gettin' the bad guys!" with that, she grabs Derek's hand and, 

tugging him along, quite obviously not wanting to explain her hair getting 

shot. ^^

Dr. Diggers> Yuri (OOC) took out every building surrounding it /except/ the 

Sensou one. x_X

Dr. Diggers> Derek erks and gets pulled off >>>>>....>>>>> d 'Perhaps I should 

foll..." c.c . o O ( No patience. )

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Perhaps I should foll..." c.c . o O ( No 

patience. )

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma turns to the Doctor and shrugs a bit. o.o?

Dr. Diggers> Yuri isn't a very patient girl, no.. -.n but you're more than 

welcome to follow along, doc!

Dr. Diggers> Yuri walks west.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri leaves, with Derek following behind her. 

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers sweatdrops. This is a very unusual situation to walk 

into.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Pardon me."

Dr. Diggers> You walk west.

Dr. Diggers> Intersection: Fenris/Heimdall

Dr. Diggers> The epitomes of wealth and fortune meet at the intersection of 

Fenris Drive and Heimdall Street. Perhaps the oddest thing you can make of this 

crossing of paths, is the mutual respect of the two neighborhoods for an 

ancient black stone statue of a dragon god whose name has been long forgotten, 

except in the spirit of those that placed it here long ago in elder times. The 

road at the spot where it is has been purposely kept at a distance, and is 

surrounded by fresh flowers, and heavy duty steel railing despite the sparse 

traffic. Maybe those who paid for all this think that by protecting the visage 

of this arcane god that he will bring to them more wealth? Or maybe it's 

something more than that..but nonetheless, it's there, and from what you can 

make of it..the sculpture will continue to be for a long time to come.

Dr. Diggers> [Exits : (E)ast, (W)est, (S)outh, and (N)orth ]

Dr. Diggers> [Players : Derek, Yuri, Kei, Kim, Belldandy, and Yuffie ]

Dr. Diggers> [Things : Bahamut Statue ]

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma walks in from the east.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma has arrived.

Dr. Diggers> *ticktick* goes Kei's bandolier. Kei's unconscious, seeming to 

have been hit by lightning.

Dr. Diggers> Derek gets pulled along by Yuri ^_^;

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma says, "Woah, woah, guy! What the..."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri runs in from the east, tugging Derek along by his hand at a 

light run.. which probably does all kinds of interesting things for her outfit. 

She stares at the new crowd. O_o

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers follows at a more leisurely pace then those two.

Dr. Diggers> Kim exclaims, "This is a blast area...in other words, RUN!!!!"

Dr. Diggers> Derek gets pulled along by Yuri ^_^; (OOC: *_*)

Dr. Diggers> Kei is still wearing the bandolier.

Dr. Diggers> Derek blinks, "What the hell?" O_o Looking at Kei, he urks, "Is 

that thing ticking?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers scans the area, focusing in on Belldandy suddenly, 

freezing in place, as if not expecting something. He quickly shakes it off, 

asking rather hastily, "Quickly, what is going on?"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy exclaims, "Derek, get it off her, I'm going after Lyrae!"

Dr. Diggers> Why yes, all those lovely grenades on the bandoliers are ticking. 

Not good, considered she was armed to the teeth with time-triggered thingys.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy leaves west.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma blinkblinks at Yuri's outfit, then is distracted by 'blast 

area'. "...oh criminy. Ah...anyone know how to turn 'em off?"

Dr. Diggers> Kim >.<
Dr. Diggers> Derek pushes past Yuri, '''scuse me!" He whips out his sword to 

cut the bandolier off, hurrying as fast as he can.."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers strides towards Kei. "Get the bandolier off her."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie falls in line behind Kim. 

Dr. Diggers> Yuri rolls her eyes at Kei, tapping her foot on the ground 

impatiently. "A little too eager, hmmm?" -.o

Dr. Diggers> Kim runs! with the ninja in tow

Dr. Diggers> Kim leaves, with Yuffie following behind Kim. 

Dr. Diggers> Derek scowls, "No @#$!@!!!" He slices through the strap and pulls 

it away from Kei, "What now?" o_o;

Dr. Diggers> Yuri looks at Derek, "Uhm.." raising her arm up juuust a little 

bit, she points her index finger towards a relatively empty area waaaay down 

the road. "...throw them?" she says impishly.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma pauses to consider the devistation. "Can we throw them far 

enough? o.o"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers adds, whether you care to or not, "Wait! Someone else 

could get hurt, hand them to me, quickly!"

Dr. Diggers> Derek looks over at Yuri as if she just the most ingenious idea in 

the world. He pulls his arm back and then STOPS, staring at the Doc, "Say WHAT? 

Hell, if you're sure.." 

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma rolls up his sleeves. . o O ( If whatever this guy is up to 

fails, I'm going to have to try something...I doubt I can handle something that 

can do _that_ much damage... )

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods hastily to Derek.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, standing right next to Derek, just sort of watches the doc. 

^^; "Ano...". o O (I'M TOO YOUNG AND CUTE TO DIE, /especially/ single!!)

Dr. Diggers> Derek looks at Yuri, then at the doc. He chivalrously steps 

between her and the grenades, "So throw them already, or do something!"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers stands over the grenades, extending his hands forward. 

A shimmering sphere surrounds the little spheres of death, right before they 

soar upwards.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma's eyes follow the bandolier up as he whistles low.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, her cheeks pinkening at Derek's fairly obvious gesture, 

watches him a second.. then watches the now flying bandolier. o_O

Dr. Diggers> Yuri . o O ( That'd.. make a great new weapons system. *_* )

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( I hope the explosions are manageable... the 

shield can't hold back nuclear blasts. )

Dr. Diggers> Kei moans a little, stirring.

d :maintains his position... how much time was left on that detonator?

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers maintains his position... how much time was left on 

that detonator?

Dr. Diggers> Ever seen what an A-Bomb looks like?

Dr. Diggers> Derek blinks, kneeling down by Kei, "Hey, Kei! How powerful are 

those things that were on your bandolier?"

Dr. Diggers> Kei moans slightly. "... eh? s'concussion frag grenades..."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers goes wide-eyed at the flash. "... It was probably a 

good idea you didn't throw those."

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma shields his eyes with his forearm and gets an immediate 

tan. "..."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri was, /quite/ unfortunately, staring directly up at the far 

away hovering grenades when they go off. Shutting her eyes, momentarily 

blinded, she winces, stepping forward with a trip.. and falls right on against 

Derek, throwing her arms around him before she hits the ground.

Dr. Diggers> Derek 9_9 "Uhm, yeah, you're probably right.. I think raining 

shrapnel would be pretty bad if-*" He BLINKS and catches Yuri *O_o*

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma leans over Kei. "Y'ok there?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "I will refrain from asking why you were 

carrying those in leiu of why the fight started to begin with."

Dr. Diggers> Derek glances down carefully, "Uhmm..you okay?"

Dr. Diggers> Yuri rubs her eyes with a free hand, opening them to meet Derek's. 

Blushing a little, realizing how close she is to him, she just manages a nod. 

"I'm alright.." she certainly doesn't pull away, though.

Dr. Diggers> Kei sighs, moving slightly, bringing an hand to her forehead and 

inhaling deeply. "Oooooh..."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers releases his prior position now, letting out a hearty 

sigh. He turns to face Derek and Yuri (Dirty Pair is becoming a much more 

appropriate moniker). "Are you alright?"

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma kneels in front of Kei, looking up. "Folks, she might need 

a doctor." Turning back to the redhead, he asks, "Hey, miss...you back in the 

land of the living?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, taking Kazuma's words literally, "I am a doctor, 

yes."

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma says, "You are? C'mon over here; you've got a patient." He 

grins. "Smooth move with the bomb, by the way. ^_^"

Dr. Diggers> Derek blushes, feeling his ears getting warm, "Uhm..right.." He 

looks down to see how things are going with Kei..

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( A Dragon... and a Goddess? Something very 

unusual is ging on here. Ryan is way out of his league... )

Dr. Diggers> Kei rubs her head, sighing. She looks up into Kazuma's eyes with 

big wide tear-filled eyes. "What ...?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods to Kazuma, turning away from the lascviciously 

posed couple to kneel down by Kei.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma winks to Kei. "Hey, it's ok. Bomb's defused...sorta...and 

there's a doctor in the house. So don't try to get up, yet."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers puts his hands on Kei's head. Go figure. Any notable 

injuries?

Dr. Diggers> Yuri hesitates juust a moment in looking at Derek.. o O (He's 

cute.. *n.n*;) but, her more professional side takes over as she kneels next to 

Kei a little reluctantly.

Dr. Diggers> Kei groans. Just a concussion. @.@ She can tell by the way her 

brain's floating aimlessly around her head...

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "She should be fine, though rest will certainly 

help."

Dr. Diggers> Derek reaches up and scratches the back of his head . o O ( *9_9* )

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma nods to Diggers, and looks about for something to carry her 

in. "Anybody have a car or something around here? There's got to be a better 

place to rest than on concrete."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers stands back up. "... And you should know better than 

to use such heavy hardware in a residential area."

Dr. Diggers> Kei says, "... damn........" as she struggles to her feet, with 

support.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma asks, "Woah, careful...ok...now that everyone's alive and 

all high explosives have been dealt with...?" It's a tenative question. "...can 

someone tell me what happened to a large part of the city?"

Dr. Diggers> Derek sighs and flexes his fingers, just now noticing the blood on 

them from wiping his upper lip, "What the?" o_o;

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers asks, "I'm afraid that I'm not certain, except that a 

large amount of off-world explosives was used." To Kei and Yuri. "You DID get a 

liscence with the FBI before you brought those on-world, did you?"

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, looking Kei over with a critical eye, decides for herself 

she'll be just fine and glances towards the doctor and Kazuma.. and Derek in 

particular. She blinks at the doctor, ".........FBI?" she asks weakly.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma asks, "...did you just say 'off-world'?"

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma scratches the back of his head with one hand, the other at 

his hip.

Dr. Diggers> Derek checks himself over . o O ( I don't think I got tagged at 

all.. Doesn't hurt anywhere except for this headache.. )

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers sighs. Apparently not. "Try to use a more 

approrpriately scaled ordinance in the future."

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma. o O ( ...it _is_ doubtful that those outfits originated on 

this planet... )

Dr. Diggers> Well... maybe in Paris.

Dr. Diggers> Kei stumbles over to Yuri, panting.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, her eyes just a little challenging, rummages in her utility 

belt for a moment, "Here..."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri hands Yuri's WWWA Identification to Dr. Diggers.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri glances at Kei.. o_O "Kei??"

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma says, "Hey, lady...you might want to take it easy."

d l Yuri's WWWA Identification

Dr. Diggers> Yuri's WWWA Identification

Dr. Diggers> The card is white with a magnetic strip on the back for data reads.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers raises an eyebrow . o O ( Oh dear. )

Dr. Diggers> Kei says, "... I... am... going... to... kill... that girl with 

the big ninja star..."

Dr. Diggers> Derek sniffs and then blinks . o O ( Waitasec.. ) He checks his 

upper lip again and feels some of the dried blood . o O ( How the heck..? )

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma smacks his forehead.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, turning from the doctor, looks to Derek with a concerned 

frown, "Heeey, you alright?"

Dr. Diggers> Kei groans, throwing an arm across Yuri's shoulder.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers hands Yuri's WWWA Identification to Yuri.

Dr. Diggers> Yuri, blinking, looks to Kei again. "Kei!" she puts a supportive 

arm around her waist.. o O (She must really /have/ been hurt.) she nods to the 

doctor, re-accepting the identification and pushing it into her belt.

Dr. Diggers> Kazuma puts his hands in his pockets. He has a lot of questions, 

but this...well, seems like a bad time.

Dr. Diggers> Kei . o O ( If I ever find *ow my head* that girl... 

*riiiiiiiiiiing* x.x )

Dr. Diggers> Derek nods, "Yeah, just have a nosebleed for some reason.."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "It seems to be a concussion... it doesn't seem 

serious, but I recommend some painkillers."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers hands Yuri a card. "Excuse me... but I have something 

else to attend to. If there's any more trouble, don't hesitate to call, first."

Dr. Diggers> Yuri blinks, accepting the card. "H.. hai." o_o she glances at the 

card...

Dr. Diggers> You whisper, "Name: Dr. Theodore Diggers, Parapsychologist and MD. 

*gives phone number*" to Yuri.

Dr. Diggers> Kei staggers, waving a hand at Dr. Diggers. "Whatever, doc... 

we're trouble-consultants, we can handle it."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "... Try to avoid the overkill next time."


** Walk cut **

Dr. Diggers> Thor Boulevard [500]

Dr. Diggers> Thor Boulevard is as quiet a neighbourhood as you would expect in 

a small city. The houses are closely spaced, but not crowded, and large enough 

for a middle class family to live comfortably. They are newer than those found 

on Thor's sister street, Odin Avenue, but still have a rustic look about them. 

A few, as you walk by, appear to be under remodeling, or still under 

construction, though those that look like they'll be fine homes to live in when 

they become available. The Midgaard Housing Agency could probably help you land 

a place here, if you're looking for a home. A small, unpaved path leads south 

to a more wealthy part of town, Fenris Drive.

Dr. Diggers> [Exits : (S)outh, (E)ast, and (W)est ]

Dr. Diggers> [Players : Rika, Yuffie, Kim, and Belldandy ]

Dr. Diggers> [Things : None ]

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan finally speak out to Belldandy, in a slow tone. "Yes, 

why don't you quit it... if the girls want to fight, let them...."

Dr. Diggers> Kim doesn't react to Yuffie throwing the dagger, figuring it would 

do that.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( A dragon AND a goddess within the same city 

block... something very unusual is happening. )

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie lets out a snarl, then holds out a materia, this one a 

dark, shimmering green. "Drop the shield, or else I'll burn you to Hell!"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers clears his throat. "Excuse me a moment... may I ask 

what is going on?"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks over as if she knew Rika was there, "There's 

someone on the rooftops firing things at them, that's why."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy frowns sadly at Yuffie, "Put that down, dear. I mean you 

no harm."

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "Yuffie...didn't you hear what she said? Someone is 

firing at you. Let's get out of the open if you want to continue."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie grimaces, then slowly lowers the materia, grudginly 

nodding. "... fine..."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie glances at the roof tops after a moment. "..."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy waves her hand, lowering the shields.

Dr. Diggers> Kim stops leading Yuffie.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan frowns, scanning the rooftops quickly, her eyes gleaming 

faintly in the moonlight; almost like a cat's would.

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie pauses for a moment, then turns to Kim, wearing a neutral 

expression as she asks her, "... Father said you're a water elemental... is 

that true?"

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "...boy, word gets around.."

Dr. Diggers> You mumble, "I would like to speak with you later... but you seem 

to be occupied." to Belldandy.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers mumbles, "I ..... ..... to ..... ..... you ..... .. .. 

.. but you seem ..... ..... ..... .." to Belldandy.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy glances at Doctor Diggers and nods politely, "Of course."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie asks, "... well...?"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers looks up, towards the rooftops, for no real reason...

Dr. Diggers> Kim nods

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "Yes, it's true."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie smiles suddenly, raising the materia again. "Then good." 

The materia glows as she concentrates, grinning viciously at Kim. "Fire1. 

Fire2."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers waves a hand as a shimmering field appears between Kim 

and Yuffie. "There will be none of that."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie frowns as the fires surround the field, licking at its 

edges instead of evaporating her target. "DAMNIT!" She turns to Dr. Diggers, 

growling. "Why can't anyone leave me to my business here?!"

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan frowns, pointing one hand at Diggers. A small black 

cloud appears in his face; all the inky blackness of midnight in it, as well as 

a stifling effect. "Oh, let them play... I want to watch."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Because, if that business involves hurting 

other people, it isn't just your business."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks over, "Rika, stop that."

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "Yuffie, hurting me isn't going to help you."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers frowns as his vision is obscured. "It's not a problem. 

A darkness spell is easily countered, if necessary." . o O ( Besides... arua 

magic is directed through auras... not visual sight )

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie glances from Belldandy to Rika, then turns back to Kim, 

crossing her arms. "... you don't know that..." She smiles slightly, only to 

have her expression turn to one of surprise as a splotch of red blossoms on her 

stomach.

Dr. Diggers> Kim blinks

Dr. Diggers> Kim asks, "What?"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy blinks and hurries over, "Yuffie?" o.o;

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie looks down, rubbing a hand over the color, only to have her 

hand come away crimson. "... n... nani?" She blinks, turning around...

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers extends his hands to his side, scanning the region for 

any magic effects. Belldandy is almost blinding... but he focuses.

Dr. Diggers> Kim moves towards Yuffie

Dr. Diggers> The young shinobi jerks back as three more spots of red suddenly 

appear on her body.

Dr. Diggers> Kim exclaims, "Yuffie!"

Dr. Diggers> Kim steps in front of her now

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy throws up a shield around the three of them quickly.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan blinks, her eyes widening. "Oh... my... she's hurt 

again..." She moves over as well, standing before Kim and Yuffie as she scans 

around quickly. "Hurry up and help her, girl!'"

Dr. Diggers> Atop a building, the third shinobi of Yuffie's group hides a 

smile, lifting back her mako-rifle.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy helps lower Yuffie to the ground carefully, cursing her 

own carelessness mentally.

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie looks down at herself, an almost curious expression on her 

face as she examines the blood on her hand. "... how...?" She seems to be 

partially in shock, eyes somewhat glazed.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, in a voice unlike his prior tone, "I cannot 

tolerate murder... Whoever is responsible cannot escape, please surrender now, 

there has been enough violence tonight."

Dr. Diggers> Kim looks around while Belldandy tends to Yuffie's wounds

Dr. Diggers> Kim exclaims, "Show yourself, coward!"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy puts her hands gently on Yuffie's abdomen and murmurs a 

spell under her breath, almost sounding like a song as her hands suddenly glow 

brightly.

Dr. Diggers> From the rooftops, there's the sound of metal clashing against 

metal as two figures suddenly appear.

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "...." focusing in on the sound and the figures.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers focuses on the auras... how many figures...?

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan looks intently towards the noise, her eyes narrowing as 

they gleam once again; her genes allowing her eyes to pierce the darkness.

Dr. Diggers> Another figure appears behind the first, lancing a small tanto 

into his side. Despite this, the wounded one continues unward, disarming and 

impaling his opponent with his blade.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy's hair streams upward as if caught by some gentle 

breeze, her hands hidden by the healing light.

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "..." watching

Yuffie pages, "3 now. :)" to you.

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie shifts lightly as her wounds seal up, the mako poisoning 

siphoning away.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers frowns, pausing a moment to dispel Rika's earlier 

enchantment.

Dr. Diggers> The wounded figure lurches, nearly falling to his knees as he 

pulls the tanto from his side. Suddenly, the one that stabbed him leaps 

forwards, only to be knocked off the building with a swift kick.

Dr. Diggers> With a sickening thud, the figure hits the ground, revealing 

herself to be a now-deceased shinobi.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy opens her eyes to examine Yuffie, finishing the spell 

with a soft sigh.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers frowns. Senseless murder...

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "...." looking back up at the roof

Dr. Diggers> The wounded shinobi finally does fall to his knees, clutching at 

his side while he desperately tries to bandage his wound.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan frowns, studying the roof intently as small metal claws 

pop from the devices on each hand, and she slowly begins scaling the building 

via the claws; heading up towards th wounded figure.

Dr. Diggers> Kim. o O (Faithful)

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie drops Kigou.

Dr. Diggers> Kigou is slowly bandaging his side, bearing several more wounds 

from what appears to have been earlier battles. His clothing is torn and 

ragged, multiple cuts and scrapes marring his form.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks over, wiping her brow, "Please, guard Yuffie." She 

gets to her feet and begins to fly up towards the roof.

Dr. Diggers> Kim nods, kneeling down next to Yuffie.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan arrives at the rooftop in rapid order, leaping the ledge 

to move at the downed man quickly; a hand glowing with a faint golden light, 

maybe a spell being prepared.

Dr. Diggers> Kigou looks up at Rika, warily, then lets out a breath. "... is 

she alive...?"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy lands on the rooftop and almost instantly recognizes the 

figure. She hurries over, "Rika, wait!"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers moves over to Kim and Yuffie, apparently appointing 

himself a guard.

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie takes a deep breath as she regains consciousness, opening 

her dazed eyes.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy puts a hand on Kigou's shoulder, "You're hurt. Let me 

help you."

Dr. Diggers> Kim is looking up at Belldandy and Kigou, still kneeling beside 

Yuffie

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan releases the spell as she nears Kigou, and a stream of 

glittering light moves from her hand to the wound; beginning to slowly heal it. 

"Yes... she is. And you have some explaining to do...."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou nods, wearily, looking as if he's had *quite* a rough day. 

"... of course..."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou suddenly looks up. "... but first, I have to see Yuffie."

d ponder ......

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( ...... )

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie rubs her temples, cussing under her breath. Apparantly, 

it's still the 'old' Yuffie... *sigh*

Dr. Diggers> Kim doesn't even look down at Yuffie.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan pauses, looking to Belldandy warily as she nods. "Yes... 

you can see her..." She then looks to Belldandy again, as if awaiting some sort 

of protestation.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy nods and looks at Rika for a moment before offering both 

her and Kigou a hand, "Here, let me get us back down."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou takes Belldandy's hand, smiling slightly. "Thank you."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy steps off the roof and floats there, waiting for the 

other two.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan walks over to Belldandy, taking the other hand after 

only a moment's hesitation. . o O (I wonder if she'll drop me....)

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy smiles, "Come on, you won't fall."

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan shrugs, turning her head so as not to look at the 

Goddess. "........"

Dr. Diggers> Kigou follows, quietly.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( Fascinating... )

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan speaks faintly. "Take us down, then... the man needs to 

talk to the girl."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks at Kigou and Rika before nodding and slowly 

lowering the three of them back to the ground. "There we are."

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan immediately pulls her hand away from Belldandy, slowly 

walking over to kneel next to Yuffie without a word of thanks to the Goddess. 

"Girl... someone wants to talk to you...."

Dr. Diggers> Kim stands up as the others arrive, moving away from Yuffie.

d :crosses his arms behind his back, silently observing.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers crosses his arms behind his back, silently observing.

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie blinks, looking up. "... who...?" She glances over at 

Kigou, then grins. "Hey! You're safe! I thought the others imprisoned you or 

something..."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy puts a hand to her temple . o O ( I'm getting a little 

tired after all this. )

Dr. Diggers> Kigou shakes his head, wearing a smile as he walks up to Yuffie, 

kneeling down beside her. "Hai... I was able to escape, Sis..." He pauses for a 

moment, then asks, "... do you know how many people hate you?"

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie blinks, then nods, smiling. "Actually, yeah. Most of the 

people in Wu-Tai... why?"

Dr. Diggers> Kigou frowns slightly. "... so you did know..." He glances over at 

Kim, examing her for a moment... then turns back to Yuffie. "... Sis, I just 

want to say something to you..."

Dr. Diggers> Kim has her back to the others, her arms crossed.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy glances at Doctor Diggers, "Can you watch over them? I 

need to go rest now."

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie nods. "Well then, spit it out." She sits up, rolling her 

eyes.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers blinks, and nods to Belldandy. "I will see what I can 

do."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou gently lifts his padded arm, the gem imbedded over its fist 

glowing a faint red as it hums. "... I'll never forget you, Sis... sayonara." 

Then, he quickly backhands Yuffie in the temple, with the studded portion of 

his armguard.

Dr. Diggers> Kim spins around as she hears the sound of the gem colliding with 

Yuffie's skull.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan blinks, quickly tackling Kigou after his blow lands. 

"Someone.... help the girl!! What did you do, you jerk?!"

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers reaches towards Kigou and Yuffie. "Forcewall." Nowhere 

near fast enough to stop him, but hopefully enough to keep him from doing 

anything further.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy blinks at Kigou and gasps, "Kigou, what are you doing?" 

o.o;

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "....."

Dr. Diggers> Kim looks at Yuffie

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie falls to the ground, limply, a dripple of blood peeking out 

from her nose. Her brother kneels over her, breathing heavily. "... it had to 

be done... I'm sorry, but it had to be done..."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy hurries to Yuffie's side again and checks the extent of 

her injuries this time.

Dr. Diggers> Kim clenches her fists at her sides, closing her eyes.

Dr. Diggers> A fire hydrant at the corner of the sidewalk begins to shake.

d "I do not know what the situation is, but there is no need for that kid of 

reaction.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "I do not know what the situation is, but there 

is no need for that kid of reaction."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou looks up quickly, then shakes his head. "Don't worry! She'll 

live!"

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan scowls, slapping at Kigou's face. "You tricked us!!! How 

can you tell us not to worry after hitting her like that?!"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy asks, "Kigou, what did you do and why did you do it?"

Dr. Diggers> Kigou takes the slap, flinching. He sighs, then turns to 

Belldandy. "... I destroyed her current psyche... and I did it, because... I 

couldn't allow her to go on like that."

Dr. Diggers> A loud shattering of concrete and the bursting of pipes collides 

with the sound of the splashing of water as the hydrant rockets into the air, 

the pillar of water following it out of the street, curving in the air like a 

giant snake.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers tenses at that. With luck, it won't go any further.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan blinks, momentarily looking away from Kigou towards the 

water display with wide eyes. "What's... that....?" oo

Dr. Diggers> A giant snake serves as a good description as that's the shape the 

water takes, holding its form behind the tensing Kim.

Dr. Diggers> Kigou glances over at the large snake of water, furrowing his 

brow. "... Leviathan?"

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan looks back to Belldandy. "Make sure you keep Yuffie safe 

from whatever that is...." She then looks back to the snake, sliding over 

quickly to stand before Bell, Kigou, and Yuffie; looking to Kim. "....did you 

do this....?"

Dr. Diggers> Kim opens her eyes, still standing away from the others, looking a 

bit enraged. She's put up with QUITE a bit o' stuff today, and seeing her 

friend get decked in the head by her brother is just about all her mind wants 

to take.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( I wasn't expecting a warm welcome, but this IS 

a bit much. )

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan speaks again, though a bit more softly. "....girl....?"

Dr. Diggers> Kim's water snake holds its position behind her, like she doesn't 

know what she wants to do with it. She may be in rage, but she's not homocidal.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks over, her voice gentle and calming, "Kim, she's 

alright, Kigou just knocked her out."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou winces slightly at Belldandy's understatement.

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "Why?..." her voice shaky.

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks at Kigou questioningly.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Perhaps... it would be best for everyone 

involved to explain why they are here, and what their goals are. Once that has 

become obvious, it will be easier to sort things out."

Dr. Diggers> Thank you, Spock.

Dr. Diggers> n.n

Dr. Diggers> You're welcom... hey! I'm trying to help here!

Dr. Diggers> Help is...illogical...

Dr. Diggers> Kigou nods, slightly. "... I'll go first." He sighs slightly. "... 

earlier today, I left for Wu-Tai, to return Yuffie home... I was intercepted by 

several guards, and was temporarily captured while the other three left for 

somewhere with Yuffie. I was able to escape and track them down... I later 

found out that they had planned to assassinate my sister, after taking her back 

to the city."

Dr. Diggers> Kim listens, the snake still behind her.

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan frowns as she keeps her gaze locked onto Kim now. 

"...mine are one in the same.... I am here as an extension of Marller-sama's 

will... that is all anyone needs to know. Yuffie just surprised me... I have 

been trying to heal her, when she was comatose... I didn't know she awakened."

d :nods. "I am here because my daughter expressed concern over Ryan Tabbot... 

well justified by the damage that seems to have been caused. All I want is to 

make sure nobody else gets hurt tonight.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods. "I am here because my daughter expressed concern 

over Ryan Tabbot... well justified by the damage that seems to have been 

caused. All I want is to make sure nobody else gets hurt tonight."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou nods, wondering if he should continue.

Dr. Diggers> Kim isn't talking, so you might as well fill the silence, Kigou. :)

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy says, "I've been assigned to keep an eye on the 

situation in this area. Yggdrasil warned of a possibly cataclysmic disturbance 

that might take place in the near future."

Dr. Diggers> Is this the future?

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers hmms at that, but doesn't comment...

Dr. Diggers> Kigou takes the chance to continue. "... after I found out about 

Yuffie... and the planned assassination, I left to save her. I met one of the 

group, and learned more about Yuffie... more then I really wanted." He glances 

at his sister. "... that finally convinced me to do what I did."

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan asks, "What was it that upset you, then, Kigou....?"

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "To kill her...."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou shakes his head quickly at Kim's words. "No... not 

technically... but... her mind is dead now. Shattered..." He sighs, then turns 

to Rika. "... it was the fact thaht she had no friends.. everyone back home 

hated her, and she knew it. Yet, she didn't mind... in fact, she liked it... 

and more then that, she has no real conscious... she'll continue to make 

enemies out of everyone, and that's a life I can't allow my sister to live."

Dr. Diggers> Kim exclaims, "You made her a vegitable!"

Dr. Diggers> The snake rises up.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers frowns. . o O ( Patience, elemental, please... ) 

"Describe the effect."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou looks at Kim, firmly. "... it's better then her living a 

life that isn't even worth living."

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan says, "Oh.... I guess something happened while she was 

out.... maybe he did the right thing, girl...."

Dr. Diggers> Kim exclaims, "She may as well be dead!!"

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy puts a hand to Yuffie's forehead, "I think I can help 

her."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou moves to speak to Kim, then suddenly turns to Belldandy, 

surprised. "No!"

Dr. Diggers> Kim puts her hands on her head, "She already died once...why did 

you have to do it again?..."

Dr. Diggers> Hey, the Phoenix materia is at level 4, so cool your jets!

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks at Kigou, "No what? Kigou, her psyche was 

shattered, yes, but there's not just one. I can sense at least two distinct 

ones."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers goes wide-eyed. "..."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy looks around, "Let's get her back to the church for now, 

and into bed."

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "...."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou blinks in confusion. "... two....?"

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan nods. "Yes... you should take her back to rest. Do what 

you can for her... and please calm down girl... make the water go back down...."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy nods, sighing wearily, "Yes, Kigou. Well, two main ones."

Dr. Diggers> Kim sits down on the ground, still holding her head

Dr. Diggers> Kim says, "I can't do this again.." curling into a pull with her 

knees to her chest as the snake suddenly opens its mouth and DIVES straight 

down, engulfing Kim, and splashing upon the ground, returning to plain water, 

leaving only the broken hydrant spraying a stream into the street.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers frowns. "..."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou wears a surprised expression, the days events a bit too much 

for him. "...."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy . o O ( Kim. The poor girl. )

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan gasps. "She's... gone.... oh, dear...." o.o

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers . o O ( ... I may have to stay here longer then I 

planned to. Things are far too wrong. )

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy kneels down and carefully lifts Yuffie's limp form up, 

not seeming to have any trouble. "I'm taking her to the church then."

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy offers to lead Yuffie.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods to Belldandy

Dr. Diggers> Yuffie falls in line behind Belldandy. 

Dr. Diggers> Belldandy leaves, with Yuffie following behind her. 

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers looks at Kigou, then at Rika, and shakes his head.

Dr. Diggers> Kigou sighs, standing. "... I've found out that I'm no longer part 

of the Kisaragi clan, and that I was exiled from Wu-Tai in the first place..."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Most unfortunate... I've never been fond of 

tight clans, and this, unfortunately, doesn't help my predjudices."

Dr. Diggers> Rika-chan asks, "Still.... your place is with your sister... why 

didn't you go with her, Kigou...?"

Dr. Diggers> Kim has connected.

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers nods. "I apologize, but it is late, and I must assist 

the police and fire departments..."

Dr. Diggers> Kigou looks up. "... she is no longer my sister... I've killed the 

person that was my sister. We are no longer related anyhow, where family-line 

is concerned."

Dr. Diggers> Dr. Diggers says, "Have faith, Kigou. Everything isn't over yet."
