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

>Ryan steps in. "Hey, hey...!"
>Vincent sighs slightly at Cloud's reluctance for an explanation. Then, he turns
his attention to Minako and Ryan as they both arrive.
>Cloud would explain if he could. O.o
>Ryan doesn't like any discussion that begins with 'I'd explain if I could'
>Cloud (OOC) x.x Bleah.
>Minako moves over and jogs in place next to the bar, "Hiya. ^_^ Lemme get
something to drink. ^_^"
>Cloud says, "Coke?"
>Vincent looks over the young woman carefully, as she comes up to the bar, where
he too is standing, talking with Cloud. Then, his attention turns back to
Cloud as he says, "Please be considerate in the future of whom you give
information to."
>Minako shakeshakes her head, still jogging in place, obviously trying to keep
her heartrate up.
>Cloud asks, "... water?"
>Ryan blinks, slowly taking a seat at the bar. "...?"
Minako
Short bangs and a cascade of golden hair that extends as far as her hips frame
the face of this lovely young woman. The long tresses are held in check by an
almost everpresent bright red bow at the back of her head. She wears a pair of
orange stud earrings, little more than tiny dots of color at the lobes of her
ears...this girl has no need of excessive jewelry. Her large blue eyes sparkle
with the smile that's nearly always gracing her delicate lips. Apparently,
she's either not wearing any makeup atall, or she's applied it sparingly and
expertly enough that it's not in itself noticable. All this adds together to
make up the face of Minako Aino.
Today, Mina is out for a jog, it seems. She's wearing a loose orange
tanktop tucked into a pair of very short blue jogging shorts with little white
stripes down the sides. The attire leaves most of her legs bare, giving her
more freedom of movement as she runs. Completeing the outfit is a pair of
hitech running shoes and low socks.
Carrying:
>Cloud looks over at Vincent. "... hai."
>Minako shakeshakes her head again, "No...got any sports drinks?"
>Cloud says, "... no."
>Tifa has connected.
>Minako says, "...dang..."
>Minako asks, "Fruit punch?"
>Cloud says, "..." as he looks over at Tifa. "... Tifa? Do we have any fruit
punch?"
>Ryan raps his fingers on the bar, but refrains from asking spikey about why the
goth is here.
>Cloud looks over at Vincent. "Can we talk upstairs?"
>Vincent nods in reply to Cloud's request, waiting politely for the man to lead
the way.
>You mumble, "... Probably don't need me for this, do you?" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, ".. .. .. Probably ..... need me for this .. ..... you
.." to Cloud.
>Cloud frowns briefly, then looks at Vincent. "Can he come along?" He indicates
Ryan.
>Ryan smirks. "Doesn't matter to me. I can stay down here and entertain Tifa."
>Vincent shifts his attention to Ryan's presence, shrugging marginally in
response, "It doesn't matter."
>Cloud says, "..."
>Ryan just pushes the buttons...
>Cloud says, "... come on, Ryan."
>Ryan stands up
>Minako blinkablinkas.
>You fall in line behind Cloud.
>Tifa has disconnected.
>Minako gets abandoned. ;_;
>I'm sure Cloud still loves you c.c
>Cloud says, "(OOC) Ergh. You wanna watch OOCly? u.u"
>Vincent falls in line behind Cloud.
>Minako (OOC) shakeshakes her head, "'Sokay...I just had new targets logon...but
you owe me a kiss for this, Cloud. n.n"
>Cloud says, "(OOC) no I don't o.o"
>Ryan (OOC) cackles
>Cloud has left.
Cloud leaves, with you following after.
Seventh Heaven Bar - Upstairs Hallway
The upstairs hallway is a long thin passage that ends with a window on the
other side of the building. It's mostly free of decorations, and looks to be
built with less expensive wood then the downstairs area. Doorways lead off
into various rooms, most normally used for storage. One, however, bears the
label "Tifa's Room" on the door, and another next to it has a sheet of paper
tacked to it proclaiming, "Cloud's Room". Currently, the storage rooms have
been converted, as there's no longer as many things needing storage here.
Three rooms besides the guest room which fill the upstairs hallway look to have
been changed over, with locks on front of each for privacy.

>Vincent has arrived.
>Cloud arrives, with Ryan and Vincent following behind.
>Cloud looks back at the rest of you. Then he leans against the wall.
"Vincent..."
>Vincent stops, turning to face Cloud. He regards the man for a long moment,
before, "Yes?"
>Ryan stands to the side. He's here mostly so that he has a clue what will
happen when the trouble inevitably starts.
>Cloud asks, "... what do you know about her yourself?"
>Vincent shifts into a more relaxed postion as he answers, "She found me as I
was walking through the city." he says, "And asked me for information about
Jenova and Sephiroth."
>Ryan . o O ( There's that name again... who's this Sephiroth? )
>Vincent shifts into a more relaxed postion as he answers, "She found me as I
was walking through the city." he says, "And asked me for information about
Jenova and Sephiroth."
>Ryan . o O ( There's that name again... who's this Sephiroth? )
>Janus has arrived.
>Janus pushes his way up the stairs slowly, as he looks from person to person
for a brief moment before saying a word.
>Vincent is standing, facing Cloud and waiting for his reply on a comment just
made. He glances at Janus as the man enters, looking him over carefully.
>Janus looks over towards Cloud and Ryan _immediatly_ as he spots them there.
He smirks, "Didn't expect to find you two so quickly. Anyways, we have a trip
to take, to let you two know."
>Ryan blinks. "Come again?"
>Janus chuckles, "You know where we are going. Gotta wake up sleeping beauty.
Anyways, I found Lyrae and she understands now... So, we had best be going
soon. Like, tomorrow or the next day, possibly."
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Great... just great. You know my blaster won't be recharged
until the end of the week."
>Cloud asks, "... ... ..." as he rubs his head. What to say to either one of
them?
>Vincent gives Janus another long look, especially at the mention of another
'sleeper'. Then, he looks to Cloud, primarily for an answer in regards to
Janus' presence, and what he's talking about.
>Janus smirks, "Well, get whatever weapons you need anyways. This kinda
concerns existance as we know it.. So, if you wish to win this war, we had
better hurry."
>Ryan nods to Janus. "... Well, you know I'm in, if only to keep you two out of
trouble."
>Cloud looks over at Janus. "Who's the other sleeper?"
>Janus rubs his forehead.. "You forgot allready, Cloud?"
>Cloud asks, "... Kim?"
>Janus smirks, "Not exactly... Anyways, I'll let Ryan explain it to you later,
since at least he seems to remember. I gotta get things ready.."

>Cloud shrugs slightly. "No idea..."
>Vincent almost... appears annoyed at Cloud's ignorance about the woman, "Then
what made you decide that she was to be trusted with information regarding
Sephiroth and Jenova?"
>Ryan will ask questions about those two later. "..."
>Cloud says, "... her eyes... she had the eyes of..." He shakes his head. How
foolish that sounds.
>Vincent waits patiently. At Cloud's hesitance, he prompts, "The eyes of what?"
>Cloud says, "... a lost soul... "
>Vincent frowns. This time, however, he answers calmly, "Then you should have
been doubly cautious." Suddenly, he turns his attention to Ryan, "Do you have
anything to add on this matter?" Thinking, perhaps, that the man had come here
because he had some knowledge of the situation already.
>Ryan blinks at the sudden change of focus. "... I wish. I probably know less
then Asellus does..."
>Ryan . o O ( And happy-cheery here would likely like to keep it that way c.c )
>Vincent considers Ryan, "Then you know nothing in regards to Harken?"
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Harken? Well, I know she isn't human... a 'metal
demon' or some such... and she likes fighting. Or claims to."
>Vincent nods to that, then turns his attention back to Cloud, "Do you know of
anyone that knows more about this woman?"
>Vincent thinks he does, but is reserving that fact for himself. Perhaps there
is some more information that could be obtained through a safer source, after
all.
>Ryan . o O ( Yeesh. I can tell he holds me in high regard O_o )
>Cloud says, "... Astrid, perhaps."
>Vincent mms, "I know of him." he glances at Ryan, then to Cloud again, "Is he
of the same demon race as Harken? Or only one that knows of her?"
>Cloud says, "... no, but when Harken spoke, she mentioned that he reported to
her..."
>Ryan says, "... The same race, from what I heard. But a much better temperment."
>Ryan looks at Cloud. "Of course, I may be wrong."
>Vincent nods, then looks at Ryan as he speaks, "This Astrid has spoken to me
about wishing to merely live here. What is Harken's temprament like? Besides
the desire to fight, of course."
>Ryan crosses his arms. "It varies... and I mean a LOT. Sometimes she's almost
nice, but other times..."
>Cloud looks at Ryan. "Yesterday, when you mentioned your name..."
>Ryan nods. "... She flew of the handle"
>Vincent frowns as he listens, "Is your name known?" he runs through his memory,
matching up the name 'Ryan' from the meeting with Lyrae the other night, to the
man.
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"
>Vincent fixes Ryan with that wonderfully intense gaze of his, "If she reacted
as badly to your name, then perhaps there is a reason for it?"
>Ryan sweatdrops. "... I think she was having a flashback to something else."
>Vincent nods again, "Then you have no idea why she reacted that way/"
>Ryan shakes his head. "Excpet that she apparently knew another Ryan... who got
killed. She wasn't exactly rolling out the details, you know."
>Cloud nods. "She mentioned three other humans...?"
>Ryan says, "A Ryan, supposedly deceased, a Jack... herself..."
>Vincent mms, "What else happened?" this question is given in general, for
either man to answer.
>Ryan replies, "I only came in on the tail end of it." He's lying, not that it
matters.
>Cloud shakes his head. "After she gained control of herself, she... told us
that the living metal was coming."
>Ryan elaborates, "Which probably means the 'metal demons'."
>Cloud nods.
>Vincent nods as well. "Thank you for the information." he says. Then he turns
around, stepping toward the stairway with the intent of leaving.
>Cloud calls after you, "Vincent...?"
>Ryan . o O ( Boy, that guy just inspires trust c.c )
>Cloud says, "... we think the ship in the sky is related to the metal demons."
>Ryan nods slowly. "It is definately artificial..."
>Vincent turns again, "Yes?" Of course, he couldn't care less if he inspired
trust. That's the best part about his life. He fully intends that people make
their own opinions on his nature, instead of trying to shape it for them. But,
since Ryan doesn't think that aloud or nothing, he doesn't exactly comment. He
nods, instead, to what is said, "I see." he pauses, "Is there something you
wish for me to do about it?" Asked in all politeness born of one that is only
asking for, well, politeness sake. Not as if he really -cared- or something. c.c
>Ryan raises his eyebrow, commenting rather sarcastically, "Gee, usually, the
thought of a miles-long potentially-hostile spacecraft in earth orbit usually
makes people worried."
>Vincent fixes Ryan with another look, again, "Would it help if I did just...
worry? Or would it be more productive to find out what I can do about the fact?"
>Cloud asks, "... what can you do?"
>Ryan crosses his arms, not responding to that. At least openly. . o O ( Cold
!@^(!) )
>Vincent turns to Cloud now, "I don't know. That is why I was asking."
>Cloud says, "..." as he looks over at Ryan.
>Ryan comments, "... Actually, we don't know what to do either."
>Vincent nods slowly, "Then I will wait for now." he says, "If you find out any
more information regarding Harken, please let me know?" he looks at Cloud in
specific for the last comment.
>Cloud nods at Vincent quietly.
>Ryan doesn't comment. -.-
>Pikachu has arrived.
>From the stairs a noise is heard..."Pikup!!" followed by a zap of electricity,
rising up from below.
>Pikachu hops up a few more stairs, coming into view. It looks pretty
miserable. ';.;'
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikup!!" hopping slightly as another zap of electricity
surrounds its body.
>Ryan blinks, looking over at the electric rat. "...?"
>Cloud says, "..." as he looks at Pikachu. He backs away just a bit.
>Vincent begins to turn again, to leave. As the small noise and the electricity
issue forth, he tenses, waiting for the possibility of an attack. And -then-,
as Pikachu appears, he relaxes, slightly. Still on the ready.
>Pikachu sniffles ';.;'
>Pikachu pikas, "Pi...!" quickly covering its mouth with its hands. 'o.o'
>Pikachu '>.<'
>Pikachu shakes
>Cloud says, "..." as he looks at Ryan.
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "...?"
>Vincent regards the pikachu carefully. As the pattern of noise and lightning
repeats, he frowns a little, glancing at Cloud, "I believe that it has the
hiccups." he states. Placidly. Very placidly.
>Pikachu pikas, "PIKUP!!" *Zap!!* it would probably be wise to back away from it.
>Ryan facefaults @_@
>Pikachu's ears droop /;.;\
>Cloud says, "... oh." He watches the little creature. And backs away.
>Vincent takes a few steps back. Goaded ones, too, cause, being the
theoretically closest to the thing probably caught him in the fringe of that
last zap. "Do you know what it is?" he asks Cloud again.
>Pikachu pikas, "Chu..." patheticly. ';.;'
>Cloud shakes his head. "It came in today, so I gave it some water..."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikup!" '>.<' *zap*
>Ryan Sweatdrops. "Great..."
>You page-pose, "Ryan won't be around long himself, actually." to Vega
>Vincent considers the pikachu again. The 'chu' seemingly triggering off a bit
of a reaction to a memory. He addresses it, carefully speaking slowly to be
easily understood, "Can you understand me?"
>Cloud says, "... ... ... maybe if it holds its breath?", looking at Ryan.
>Pikachu pauses, looking at Vincent.
>Pikachu nods
>Cloud looks over to Vincent as soon as he speaks to the thing.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pi."
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikup!" *hopzap!* ';.;'
>Ryan nearly leaps back as the thing discharages watts into his personal space
O_o
>Vincent hms. Another slight, wary step is taken away from the being, and a
glance is given to Cloud again before he addresses the pikachu once more, "Have
you tried to hold your breath?" using Cloud's suggestion.
>Pikachu nods ';.;' "Pi Pikachu."
>Vincent turns to Cloud again, "And you only gave the creature water?"
>Cloud nods. "..."
>Pikachu points at Cloud, "Pika pi pikachu. Pika Pi pi." ';.;'
>Cloud blinks at the Pikachu.
>Pikachu sticks out its tounge and shakes its head, making a face like something
tastes bad.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pikup!" *hopzap*
>Ryan sweatdrops, commenting, "Feed 'em once and you never get rid of 'em..."
>Cloud looks over at Ryan. "I didn't feed it."
>Cloud backs away from that thing some more.
>Pikachu pikas, "Pika pi!!"
>Vincent looks down again, "It doesn't appreciate water?" he looks at Cloud
again, "Are you certain that is what it was?"
>Pikachu. o O (You gave me weird water!)
>Ryan shrugs. "Same difference. I'm heading out... Going to try some more
obseravtions on the craft."
>Pikachu hops towards Cloud, "Pikup!" *pausezap!*
>Cloud nods. "Water. I pressed the water button on the spout."
>Pikachu shakeshakes its head, stalking towards Cloud, looking angered. "Pika..."
>Vincent hms, "Perhpas it drank to fast?" he looks down at the pikachu as it...
charges? He steps to the side, "It seems to disagree." he comments dryly.
>Ryan shakes his head, departing without further comment.
