Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RA)
The tall stained glass windows of the old building flood the room with a dusty
light. Your ears hear every creak and bend as you step across the old wooden
floor. This once joyous place of worship has long since fallen into a state of
disrepair, yet through the dirt and the cobwebs the atmosphere remains bright
and comforting. A portion of the wooden floor is even broken away, revealing a
patch of wild flowers growing in the center of the room.

Odin Avenue [500]
Some of the homes here, unlinke those to the west, appear to have been erected
in rather recent years. Though larger than their elder counterparts, and
containing more modern accomidations, they are no less stylish and do not
detract from the appearance of their neighbours. The contrast might even be
considered healthy. Immediately to the east, a turn north and south and
estates with large mansions bordering it on the eastern edge of the walk mark
the end of Odin Avenue. Also, to your south here, through some wrought iron
gating..is quite oviously a cemetary. It isn't spooky as you think one should
be..far from it..it seems a peaceful, sunny area to be laid to rest.

Odin Avenue [400]
Odin Avenue is part of the zoned residential area of Midgaard, and 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. [OOC: In other words,
contact Bahamut for linking your home to this street.] A grocery store,
allowed to be here mearly for the convenience of the locality by the city
ordinance, takes up approximately two houselengths on the south side of the
avenue..customers move in and about getting the items they need for daily
survival.

** Usual walking scene cut **
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 beveragesand components for
mixed drinks. The room is just a tad dimly lit, feeling cozy and familliar 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 buisness 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.

Tyr Road [300]
The apartment buildings and hotels give way to smaller, less expensive and
privately owned buildings of like sort. Then those eventually dwindle to what
you find on either side of you now. Yes, various scents of delicious food of a
wide assortment of styles, flavours, and nationalities entices your olfactorial
senses..attempting to lure you in for a bite, or five. Make no mistake,
however. It doesn't come as cheap as those fast food places around southern
Tyr Road..though you'll definately appreciate the higher quality. At a point
up ahead, the road and street becomes an unpaved trail, towards the start of
the steep walls that the mountain atol surrounding Midgaard creates. A deep
gorge carved by forces long forgotten and lost to legend is to the west
here..and a suspension bridge has been erected so that pedestrians might take a
stroll across it to Sif Way to the east, and marvel at it.

gives chase, climbing up and into said nasty pipe. Blech.

Urd
She is Mini-Urd! Goddess of the Past and all things teensy-weensy! She's
about the size of a rodent, perhaps 8 inches from head to toe. Her long hair
is a beautiful mane of rippling silver and white, making her tanned, dusky skin
seem all the darker. She has big, bright eyes like polished jade. She's kind of
chubby, due to her SD-proportions, but that doesn't make her unattractive. in
face, she's really quite adorable. There are three small blue markings on her
face - triangles. One is just between her brows, while the other two are on
her cheekbones, seeming like decorative little tattoos or decals of some sort.
She wears a tiny dress to go on her tiny body. It's indigo in color, lined in
brown and orange tiger stripes. Her cape is blue as well, but lined in crimson.
Her chubby little legs poke out through slits on both sides of the long dress,
and her chibi-cleavage threatens any ecchi young boy with nose hemmorages. She
wears several bracelets and a pair of black leather fingerless gloves, but her
feet are bare.

>Mini-Urd says, "Yeah. Look at Belldandy."
>Kim snaps her head over to Belldandy in a mechanical manner. Rather creepy
looking, especially with that smiling face and those wicked glowing red eyes.
>Ryan takes another step back. "..."
>Mini-Urd . o O ( My suggestion potion's not even affecting her now. )
>Mini-Urd is the only one riding on you now, Ryan. (No hentai remarks please)
>Belldandy asks, "Kim, you.." She sighs and closes her eyes as she shakes her
head, "..you may have, but.. Kim, please stop smiling. Don't you see? You've
fallen to her level. She's dead, and you're happy for it. You don't feel even
the slightest bit of remorse for her, do you?"
>Mini-Urd looks at Ryan.. "You smell."
>Ryan narrows his eyes. "Thanks for reminding me."
>Mini-Urd says, "No problem."
>Kim says, "Not at all...."
>Kim says, "She's where she deserves to be....in a pool of her own blood..."
>Mini-Urd glances back over.
>Mini-Urd . o O ( Kim's gone bye-bye.. )
>Mini-Urd sighs.. "Let me take another crack at this, Bell.." She hops off
Ryan's shoulder.
>Mini-Urd POOFS! When the silvery smoke has cleared, she's full-sized again.
>Urd strides over to stand by Belldandy.
>Urd says, "Kim.. look at me."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "Hey, I'm not arguing, mind you, but you do
seem awfully... y'know... thrilled."
>Urd says, "Look into my eyes."
>Kim's eyes sliiiiiide over to Urd without moving her head.
>Urd says, "Listen to my voice."
>Kim says, "I hear you...."
>Belldandy . o O ( She's.. Berserker? )
>Ryan . o O ( Watiaminute... didn't Esmerelda have her heart or something? )
>Urd says, "The hate and anger inside you are NOT a part of you. They are going
to be thrust out of your body like poison is puked out of a person's stomach.
You're gonna be YOU again, and behave like the good person you ARE. It's going
to happen. Right NOW."
>Belldandy says, "(OOC) Or no ice cream for dessert."
>Kim says, "......"
>Urd holds a hand up to Belldandy.. o O ( Wait, Bell.. )
>Kim smiles, "....no...."
>Kim swings her arm back, the spike returning to her hand, "You want to control
me?!"
>Urd says, "This ain't normal.. o.o"
>Ryan blinks again. "Uh-oh."
>Urd . o O ( WHY didn't he get me that sake?... I'm too low on power... )
>Urd exclaims, "Kim, LISTEN TO ME!"
>Kim exclaims, "Just like her....seeking to rule my mind......well you
can't....NO ONE can!!!"
>Belldandy calmly steps over to put a gentle hand on Kim's other shoulder, "Kim,
we want to help you. Please, calm down?"
>Urd exclaims, "I'm trying to RESTORE your mind, you dink!"
>Ryan holds his his hands. "Woah woah woah, Kim"
>Kim exclaims, "I'll listen to no one!!!!!" dashing forward suddenly at Urd!
ponder Oh !@^*&!
>Ryan . o O ( Oh !@^*&! )
>Urd sighs.
>Urd waits for Kim to be ALMOST upon her....
>Kim drives the spike forward at the silver haired goddess, her eyes burning and
teeth clenched together tightly.
>Urd POOFS! When the silvery smoke has cleared, she's about 8 inches tall.
>Kim totally misses, stumbling forward as the target vanishes.
>Mini-Urd appears about where her head was, and drops on top of Kim's head as
she flies past, thru the space where Urd had been.
>Ryan slings the blaster off his shoulder and drops it on the ground. He
crouches down, ready to evade. Just in case
>Mini-Urd slides down onto Kim's shoulder and whisper's something in her ear..
>Kim grrrs
>"Excellent my little pupil.."
>Kim.........stops
>"It seems you've learned your last lesson well. Hatred."
>Belldandy gasps, taking a few steps back, "I knew it."
>Kim's eyes instantly lose their red glow, along with her choker.....she stares
blankly forward, her back to the voice....
>Kim says, "..........."
>Ryan freezes in place, his eyes narrowing
>Mini-Urd is holding onto Kim's shirt, kneeling on her shoulder, whispering to
her.
>Es's corpse suddenly stands to it's feet..but lifting up arrow straight errily
like levitation. Her arms cross as she smiles, covered in muck and blood.. a
hole rather pointedly in her chest...but the smirk on the corner of her
bloodied lips..unmistakable. She intones, "Too bad the goddesses Magilock on
me is running out..or I would have been dead." she taptaps the wound, "A
magnificent blow child..I have taught you well deary." she giggles hauntingly.
>Ryan reaches down... slowly... to recover the rifle
>Mini-Urd . o O ( Oh Lord.. it's time for a retreat.. )
>Ryan . o O ( I knew she wasn't dead yet... )
>Kim's senses continue to store information. Hearing, sight, touch, etc. Her
mind will comprehend them later though. This is just too much.
>Belldandy asks, "You manipulated her, Esmerelda. Are you happy now? Driven her
over the edge to become more like yourself?"
>Kim reaches up slowly as her eyes remain locked in that dead gaze....her
fingers slooowly close around the little Urd.
>Es-chan comments to Kim, "And now..I believe you have the proof you need? Call
me a monster deary? Look at your OWN handy work?" as she lifts her broken arm
loosely..the wound CLEAN through her chest..blood all along her beautiful
frame...she grins, a trickle of blood running down her lips, "...Now try to
deny it...try to deny it that inside..deep inside... you ARE just -like- me.
And it feels -gooooood-.." giggling once more. Also answering Belldandy with
that statement.
>Kim doesn't squeeze her, just picks her up, holding her gently, bringing her to
her front where her other hand holds her as well.
>Ryan hefts up the rifle, sighting it on Esmerelda, thumb reaching up to release
the saftey. "Belldandy, Urd, get Kim out of her."
>Mini-Urd says, "Kim... don't listen to her... don't listen to anyone but your
own heart and soul, hon.."
>Kim stands up straight....
>Mini-Urd . o O ( Kamisama... help her. )
>Mini-Urd . o O ( Onegai. )
>Kim turns, spinning on her heels to face Es, and breaking into a run, straight
at her.
>Mini-Urd o_o
>Ryan . o O ( Oh !^@*! )
>Mini-Urd exclaims, "Kim? KIM?? Wrong waaaaaay!"
>Belldandy blinks and throws a quick barrier between Kim and Esmerelda, "Kim,
stop!"
>Kim, though, at the last minute, leaps! up and over Es, crashing through a
stream of flowing filth-water (Though it somehow turns clean around Kim when
she touches it. Dirtying again after she passes through it) and into the small
pipe she entered the room through, dashing through it and away from the scene.
>Mini-Urd clutches onto Kim's hands.. "Kim, it has to be YOUR choice! Not mine!
Do the right thing!"
>Mini-Urd shouted that juat before the leap.
>Belldandy blinks, wide-eyed, her hands still out in front of her o.o;
>Urd falls in line behind Kim.
>Kim leaves, with Urd following behind her.
>Es-chan simply..giggles ^_^
>Belldandy turns and faces Esmerelda, trying to sense if she still has Kim's
heart captive.
>Ryan slowly sidesteps in front of Belldandy, making himself a nice shield. He
peers through the sight at Esmerelda. "Don't move. You know I'll fire if you
try something."
>Es-chan does indeed. As she taptaps her chest, "Sorry deary. like I said..the
holywar is on." she glances to Ryan, "Don't worry..I won't try...a thing." as
she simply disappears. Fading out of existance.
>Belldandy puts a hand on Ryan's arm, "Esmerelda.." Then she actually scowls.
>Ryan scowls at Esmerelda, never dropping the bead on her until she vanishes
completely...
>Esmerelda teleports out of the room.
>Esmerelda has left.
>Ryan says, "..."
>Belldandy says, "Come on, we've gotto go after Kim."
>Ryan nods to Belldandy. "Where do you think she'd go?" He slings the rifle over
his shoulder
>Belldandy says, "Back into the sewers would be my guess. Hurry, before they get
too far."
>Belldandy falls in line behind you.
Sewer system
You see nothing special.

[Things : None ]
>Ryan arrives, with Belldandy following behind.
>Urd is guiding Kim down a passage, and both of them look a bit unsteady.
>Ryan staggers out of Esmerelda's hiding place, yelling down the sewers, "KIM!!"
>Urd hears the echoing voice and shouts, "We're down here!"
>Urd stops moving.
>Ryan sloshes through the sewers towards the voice, Bell-sama in tow. Big
Belldandy, or Chibi-Bell-chan?
>Belldandy (OOC) is normal size. Eeek, her dress! 6.6;;;
>Urd holds onto Kim with one arm around her..
>Ryan (OOC) DAMN YOU, ESMERELDA! You ruined her dress! @.<
>Urd mumbles, "..... on .. hon .. .. ..... gonna be ..... ..... ..
..... can teleport ..... home .." to Kim.
>Kim nods shakily
>Ryan turns the corner, Kim and Urd now in sight. "There should be a manhole
cover around here somewhere..."
>Urd slaps her forehead.. "Manhole.. Ugh... I wasn't THINKing."
>Belldandy smiles as she sees Urd and Kim and calls over to them, "Wait there,
we'll be there as soon as we can!"
>Urd asks, "Belldandy, you okay? How'd you guys get away from that big skank?"
>Belldandy nods to Ryan, "See if you can find it, I'm going to check on them."
She floats up out of the muck and flies over to the two, "Are you both alright?"
>Ryan exclaims, "We didn't get away. SHE did."
>Kim is shaking, gripping Urd to stay on her feet, her eyes are wide and staring
straight ahead. Somehow though, she nods to Belldandy's question.
>Urd says, "I've lost more strength, Belldandy.. I'm about to collapse.. I need
sake.." -.-
>Urd says, "Can you take Kim..? I need to go small... It'll conserve my
vitality..."
>Ryan walks over to Kim, being the designated person-taker, apparently
>Belldandy slips her arm around Kim and nods, "Hold on, Urd, we'll be home soon."
>Urd POOFS! When the silvery smoke has cleared, she's about 8 inches tall.
>Mini-Urd sort of putteringly floats up to Belldandy... about halfway.. then
starts to descend.. "Awwwww bugger.."
>Kim reaches out, catching Urd.
>Mini-Urd says, "Domo, kiddo.." -.-
>Kim keeps her other hand gripped on Ryan's shirt, since he got to her first.
>Ryan looks around for a handy manhold cover. Aha! One about 20' away.
>Belldandy walks with Kim, and as she looks up at the manhole cover, she makes a
gesture at it and it flips open.
>Mini-Urd holds onto Kim's wrist, sitting astride the side of her thumb.. -.-
>Kim wraps her fingers around Urd, holding her like you would hold an ice cream
cone. At least she's gentle though, if not shaking continuously.
>Urd falls in line behind you.
>Mini-Urd starts to doze half-asleep in Kim's hand.
>Mini-Urd . o O ( I need saaaaake... saaake... =.= )
>Kim falls in line behind you.

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

>Remo blinks as the crowd of people arrive
>They came out of a sewer manhole, too.
>There's a soft *clang* as a manhole cover sides open. Ryan crawls out, gasping
for clean air. He gives Kim a hand, carefully pulling her out.
>Remo o.O
>P-U!
>Mini-Urd is 8 inches tall, and held in Kim's free hand.
>Ryan . o O ( !@(! I need a shower )
>Kim climbs out, crawling forward out of the hole on her hand and elbow, holding
a mini-Urd in her left hand.
>Remo sniffs, and shrugs as Al and Guido stand by his side
>Belldandy looks around, wrinkles her nose, and looks down at herself. She
blushes softly and then seems to make gesture with her hand. The stink is gone
instantly somehow . o O ( That should do until we can clean up. )
>Ryan grins weakly as he starts to head east, group in tow
** Group heads back to the Church **
Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RA)
The tall stained glass windows of the old building flood the room with a dusty
light. Your ears hear every creak and bend as you step across the old wooden
floor. This once joyous place of worship has long since fallen into a state of
disrepair, yet through the dirt and the cobwebs the atmosphere remains bright
and comforting. A portion of the wooden floor is even broken away, revealing a
patch of wild flowers growing in the center of the room.

>Ryan arrives, with Belldandy, Kim, and Urd following behind.
>Mini-Urd murmurs, "sake.."
>Ryan helps to set Kim down on a pew, if she's still shakey. He quips, "I doubt
anyone's gonna sell me drinks now"
>Belldandy asks, "Urd, don't you have some in the back?"
>Mini-Urd shakes her head.. "Nnn.. no... usedit.."
>Ryan sighs. "Lemme take a shower first, then I'll go get you some..."
>Mini-Urd says, "Mm.."
>Mini-Urd says, "Two.."
>Belldandy shakes her head, "There's no time to get cleaned up. I'll be back."
>Belldandy stops following you you.
>Ryan blinks, and turns to Belldandy. "Be careful, she's still around."
>Mini-Urd lies in Kim's hand, whereas Kim is lying on a pew.
>Mini-Urd is hovering on the edge of consciousness.
>Belldandy leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Belldandy has left.
>Kim is laying down (So I've been told) staring straight up at the ceiling.
Still holding mini-Urd.
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck . o O ( Can't do anything until Belldandy gets
back... and this place has a bathroom, heard Derek working on the plumbing
before. )
>Belldandy steps into the building off the street.
>Belldandy has arrived.
>Belldandy runs back in, carrying a brown paper bag in her arms. She pants as
she stops near Urd, "F..found some, Urd." Looks like she ran the whole way.
Both ways.
>Ryan looks at Belldandy. "Are you okay?"
>Kim holds up Urd, opening her hand.
>Mini-Urd =.=
>Mini-Urd holds her arms out.. "Gimmie.."
>Ryan looks at the group. "I'm going to go shower up, okay? Back in a minute."
He heads for the backroom (but will hang around here to watch)
>Belldandy nods and sets the bag down, pulling out a bottle and popping it open
quickly, "Y-yes, I'm fine. Just a little winded is all. Here you go, Urd."
>Mini-Urd sits up.. seems like the movement itself is difficult for her.
>Mini-Urd says, "I can't... I can't go big again.. just give me a few drops...
first.."
>Kim's arm just holds Urd up, unmoving. Pretty much none of her is moving right
now. When did she blink last?
>Belldandy asks, "Al-alright, Urd." She holds her thumb over the top and starts
to let it drip out slowly, "Like this?"
>Mini-Urd tilts her head back and opens her mouth..
>Mini-Urd drinks as the droplets drip down..
>Mini-Urd POOFS! When the silvery smoke has cleared, she's full-sized again.
>Urd grabs the bottle and holds it to her lips, chugging it now..
>Belldandy n.n;
>Urd dropped to the floor when she changed, btw.
>Urd wouldn't wanna break anyone's arm.. n.-
>There's the sound of running water in the background, and off-key singing.
>Urd drinks fully two-thirds of the big bottle of sake before she finally lets
it down and takes a breath.
>Urd says, "Aaaaaaaaahhhh..."
>Urd looks like someone who just had a 6-pack of gatorade after 2 weeks in the
desert.
>Belldandy smiles softly at her sister, then notices Kim. She goes to sit next
to her, putting a hand on her shoulder, "Kim?"
>Urd leans over and hugs Belldandy... "I owe you one.."
>Urd's breath rivals the smell on her boots.
>Urd crawls over to another pew and hauls herself into it, sitting to nurse her
bottle of sake..
>Urd takes a drink every few seconds..
>Ryan sings the themes to a variety of action flicks while in the shower.
Thankfully, there are several walls between you and him.
>Belldandy blinks and glances over towards the operetta, perhaps wincing just a
little bit n.n;
>Kim doesn't react to belldandy, lowering her arm back down, resting both hands
on her stomach.
>Urd swigs more sake. She looks intent on finishing the whole bottle.
>And we're talking like 2 liters here.
>Belldandy bought three of them too n.n;
>Urd already has her eyes on the bag, planning ahead.
>Kim breaths calmly through her nose, staring at the ceiling.
>Ryan sings off-key, "o/~ Here he comes, here comes speeeeeed raaacceeer..."
>Belldandy frowns, giving Kim a gentle shake, "Kim?" . o O ( Poor dear is in
shock. )
>Urd winces.. "I .... I feel ill..."
>Belldandy (OOC) @smites Ryan for blasphemy against Speed! >.<
>Kim shakes, turning her head towards Belldandy slowly.
>Urd says, "Someone go shut up whosever singing.."
>Marller steps into the building off the street.
>Marller has arrived.
>Ryan is in the back room, taking a shower, and singing off-key
>Urd is sittin gin a pew in the front of the church, guzzling sake.
>Skuld has connected.
>Ryan is in the back room, taking a shower, and singing off-key
>Marller apparently likes to make a noticiable entrance. The old doors to the
church *slam* open, the result of a large gust of wind, which stirs up dust as
it continues to blow past the singular figure silhoutted in the entryway:
Marller.
>l marller
Marller
Disrupting the natural harmony of the very air around her, indeed almost
tearing it by her mere existance, is a chillingly beautiful young woman.
Appearing to be no older then her earlier twenties, her face nevertheless
bears with it all the hardened, smirking contempt of one who knows the
business of evil, and finds it much to her liking. Dark, reddish-brown
eyes gaze with a hint of amusement, complimented by the blood-red
markings on her face, like a warrior's facepaint, but somehow more
permanent. Framed by a wild mane of dirty-blonde hair, the unease of her
appearance is only amplified by the occassional peek of what would seem
to be fangs, from behind her red-painted lips.
Her attire is a bit unusual as well. A jacket of supple, black leather,
trimmed with a firey red and black pattern, hangs open to reveal a
snowy white blouse, sporting a rather daring cut; open in a V to her
waist, revealing a good deal of her darkly tanned skin. Her lower body is
clad in a pair of baggy black pants, ending halfway down her shins, leaving
room for a bone anklet above each of her boots, which are again made of
leather, this time in a classy white. A white duster-cape hangs from her
waist to nearly her ankles in back, and a set of assorted gold, silver, and
bone bracelets adorn her wrists and complete the outfit.
Carrying:
**> Marller saw you looking at them. <**
>Urd looks back at the entrance.. and laughs... n.n "HAHAAAA!!!... ain't THIS
timing?"
>Ryan sings off-key in the shower, "o/~ ..."
>Belldandy doesn't look up, she's checking on Kim, "Could you please shut the
door?"
>Someone in here smells like sewage.
>Urd says, "Ask Marller. She opened it."
>Skuld blinks, waking up in front of a small generator in the corner of the room
Marller, her arms folded across herself, takes a single step inside. "Tsk,
such a rude reception for an old acquaintance."
>Skuld looks over her shoulder, "Oh great, who invited her?"
>Kim looks back at the ceiling. O.O
>Urd asks, "Skuld, where's that 'Totally Funkadelic Disco' album CD you bought?"
>Urd gets up and ambles toward a brown bag over by Belldandy and Kim.
Belldandy looks up, "Marller?" She sighs and shakes her head . o O ( Such a
long evening this is turning out to be. )
>Urd leans down and gets another bottle of sake from the bag, popping the cap
off.
>Ryan continues to sing (badly) in the shower, "o/~ Traannnssformers...
Moooreee then meets the eeeyyeee...."
>Urd asks, "Marller, no offense hon, but we're done battling evil tonight. We
open again at 11 a.m. Check back then, okay?"
>Skuld covers her ears, "Aaa. Is something dying back there?" @.@
>Marller makes a half-frown, half-snarl, baring a bit of her fangs at that
remark. "Watch it, Urd. I didn't come here to have to put you in your place."
>Belldandy asks calmly, "Then why are you here?"
>Skuld says, "Can't be for anything good."
>Marller uncrosses her arms and steps further inside, the convenient special
effects dying down of course. Running a finger across a dusty pew, she
mutters, "My, you *are* slumming, aren't you..." She shakes her head. "Merely
to pay a visit to old...friends. A social call, if you will."
>Skuld turns back to her device, blinking
>Skuld. o O (When did I finish this thing?)
>Belldandy exclaims, "(OOC) Dust? In the place I'm staying? Unheard of!"
>Lyrae has arrived.
>Ryan is in the back room, taking a shower, and singing off-key
>Marller asks, "By the way...what's with the banshee in the back?"
>There's the sound of water being turned off. thankfully.
>Urd asks, "Araaa.... are we all just going to stare at each other?"
>Urd sips her sake.
>Marller mns. "Staring at second-rate goddess' for too long hurts my eyes. I'm
still curious about the banshee."
>Ryan peeks his head out the door. "What's going on out there?"
>Belldandy says, "I'm trying to find out if Kim's alright or not, Urd. We may
have to try the switch after all.."
>Urd scowls at Marller about the second-class goddess remark.
>Marller looks up at Ryan as he peeks out. "So is -this- the banshee with the
horrible wail?"
>Ryan narrows his eyes. "HEY! Who you calling a bansh-" . o O ( Waitaminute,
she's the one who killed all those guards o.o ) He smirks slightly. "o/~
Let me just get something decent on..."
>Urd sips from her sake bottle once more, then ahhs, and sets it on an unused
pew seat.
>Urd says, "I feel much better."
>Skuld taptaps her generator o.o
>Belldandy glances over at Ryan, blushing a little bit before he ducks back out
of sight.
>Marller frowns, eyeing the guy as he shifts sentiments so abruptly...o O ( He
*does* look familiar....hrrmn...)
>Urd asks, "C'mon in, Marller. Pull up a pew. Have a hymnal, whydon'tcha?"
>Skuld looks around at the glowing electric lights on the ceiling.
>Skuld. o O (I guess I finished it last night...) o.o
>Skuld. o O (I'm so smart. I did it in my sleep!) n.n
>Urd gestures broadly around the room, "Ye shall dwell in the house of the
lord." ^^
>Urd . o O ( That should sicken her adequately. )
>Skuld stands up, walking away from the humming device. ^_^
>Belldandy gives Urd a look, then tries to use a minor spell to hopefully make
Kim drowsy enough to fall asleep.
>Ryan rummages around in the backroom . o O ( Uh-oh, I didn't bring a change
of clothes... )
>Urd pages, "This should be amusing. The ony person who's put anything back
there is me. You might find something of mine back there.. ;)" to you.
>You page-pose, "Ryan noticed. Not my style o.-;" to Urd
>Urd pages, "Though squeezing into anything I'd wear might be a chore." to you.
>Marller smirks, just a bit. "I'd sooner raze the place to the ground then
utter such drivel. Though.." Pacing down one row, her head slightly held
down, her words trail off, then continue again. "I am, curious, as to what has
brought you to this squallid little city. Such wonderful chaos is not usually
a goddess' choice of environs..."
>Urd says, "I sort of like the street names, myself.."
>Skuld says, "There's a nice ice cream shop around the corner."
>Ryan . o O ( Damn, only things back here are women's clothes o.-; Guess I'll
just have to use my outfit, and wash again when I get home... )
>Urd looks over at Belldandy, "Did you notice, imouto? There's a road here named
for you."
>Belldandy blinks as she looks over, "There is? I must not have been in that
area yet." n.n
>Urd says, "It's up north a ways."
>Kim's eyelids flutter, then squint shut tightly, before opening wide yet again.
Urd says, "They spelled it the old way, though. Verthandi."
>Marller nods..."I suppose that is true...the foreplanners were more respectful
of your little pantheon then many have been..."
>Belldandy says, "You know, I'm still put out about how that person did that. He
must've been hard of hearing."
>Urd says, "Stone deaf is more like it. I don't even remember what it was he
called me."
>Urd snaps her fingers. "Urthr."
>Urd says, "That was it."
>Belldandy smiles, folding her hands on her lap. Her eyes glance at Kim a moment
. o O ( It didn't work? Oh my. )
>Marller shrugs a bit, and raises her palms. "It still explains very little
though. I doubt you bothered to come here to admire such trivial historic
details. And without Belldandy's little slave, at that."
>Ryan stagger out of the bathroom, his clothes still reeking. At least Ryan
himself is clean.
>Marller looks up as Ryan comes back in. "Or maybe you found a new one, is that
it?"
>Ryan blinks. "Huh?" He slings the blaster off his shoulder. "Dunno why you're
here, but don't go trying to blow any of us up, y'know?"
>Belldandy looks up at Marller, "Keiichi? Oh no, he's around. We just told him
we would be gone for a little while." Her brows draw down a little, "And he's
not a slave, Marller."
>Ryan stands away fromthe rest, blaster leveled at Marller. Oh, and his clothes
REEk of sewer.
>Marller *glints* at Ryan, letting her eyes glow a darker red for a moment. "If
I wanted to blow you up, little mortal, I'd already have your entrails
scattered on the walls. Don't worry yourself. Yet." Turning her glance back
to Belldandy, she ahs, and nods, as if in understanding. "I see. You're
two-timing him with this little guttersnipe then. Brav-*o*, Belldandy. I
didn't think you had it in you."
>Ryan hmmphs, but doesn't drop his aim.
>Urd strides toward Marller.. "Aw, do you really have to be leaving so soon?"
Where'd she get that idea?.. well, she's got it, anyway..
>Urd gestures, and the doors of the church open back up.. "And we were SO
enjoying your visit.."
>Marller turns to face the approaching goddess, smirking again. "I suppose I
can tell when I'm not wanted. Very well."
>Marller moves to brush past Urd. "Don't think the matter has dropped, though.
I -will- learn why you've come here. And it'll be so much more entertaining
ruining your little lives then asking after them anyway."
>Ryan . o O ( Lovely, ANOTHER maniacal superhuman -.- )
>Urd asks, "Yes, yes.. I'm sure. We'll do lunch sometime, okay?"
>Urd wavies.. ^_^ "Drive safe, y'hear?"
>Belldandy sighs softly.
>Marller strides up the center asle, once she reaches it, and turns again once
she's at the entryway. "And a good evening to you Belldandy, and little
Skuld." She spares another, momentary glint at Ryan, but no such courtesy as a
vocal goodbye for him. "Enjoy your peaceful nights while you *have* them."
>Marller turns, and departs, slamming the doors with a *crash* behind her.
>Marller leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Marller has left.
>Urd says, "Byyyy-yeeee.."
>Urd rolls her eyes and comes back down the aisle.. "Good riddance, drama queen."
>Urd snatches up her bottle from the pew where she left it.. "Tomorrow I'm
puttin gup a fresh ward, Bell."
>Ryan says, "Why do all the wierdos cluster around me? O.o;"
>Belldandy nods, trying the spell again with Kim, a little stronger this time .
o O ( Poor dear, she could use some sleep. )
>Kim mmns, sitting up as Belldandy trys again.
>Ryan looks around. "... Now that she's gone, I'm heading home to change."
>Skuld pinches her nose, "Thank goodness."
>Ryan narrows his eyes. . o O ( I run all over the place saving these people,
and what do I get? No respect. )
>Kim would thank you lots...if she were a part of the real world right now. :)
>Belldandy nods, looking over, "I'll wash out our things tomorrow." She looks
over at Ryan and smiles softly, "Thank you for your assistance."
>Ryan smiles. "Don't mention it. If I wasn't doing this, I'd have nothing to do
all evening."
>Skuld says, "Eesh. You guys smell like you were playing in a sewer." >.<
>Ryan narrows his eyes again, and walks out, mumbling
