** Some background: had a quick run in with Hex, where he iced me, but wasn't long
enough to note for a log before I had to run **
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.

[Things : Poster Advertisement ]
>Nuriko returns to normal with a shift of the screen angles. He shakes his head
sadly. "Tasuki... I know how you feel.. It seems pointless, and fustrating,
now that she's gone, but.." Falling silent, his eyes watch the cold unfeeling
concrete of the street. A wind blows chillingly from the South, foreboding the
sad events. "..but, we can't just give up now..and I refuse to say she's dead."
Raising his head, he looks at Tasuki, as if challenging him. "We have a
purpose, just as she does, and she wouldn't ever be able to die, without
fulfilling her destiny. Besides, nothing could kill that girl, not even
-him-.."
>Katt walks in from the south with a sneeze, and mumbling something about making
monkey fritters first chance she gets
>Joel licks his lips upon hearing Katt mumble, hearing the monkey fritters as
something else. "Oooh...Honey Crackers...I love those..." and looks over at
Katt, a smile spreading on his face. . o O (Whoa! Geez! Woohoo! Babe
alert!...she dun look that bright, though.)
>Mr. Joel should be so very, very glad Katt cannot read minds, oh yes. She
blinks, looking up (still a bit wet from that damned monkey's ice gun), looking
at the people present. Hmm, she focuses on Tasuki for a moment, probably knows
him.
>Tasuki is strangely enough back to normal as well. Poor Katt, she doesn't get
to see Tasuki freak out and become three feet tall. That's a sight reserved for
strangers and geeks like us players. o.o Annyyyhoooow, Tasuki nods solemnly,
folding his arms. "You know, even though she did tend to eat all my food, I did
like her..." He shakes his head, "She isn't dead. The cat thing told me
so...she's just, not here...and I really don't know where else she could be,
aside from Konan...or Kutou. -.-"
>Joel shrugs carelessly, taking off his glasses while looking at her again,
which does nothing for the view. So he puts his glasses back on, striding over
towards the Woran as he tries to get a nice conversation going, the little
nerd. "...Yo. My name's Joel....who the hell are you?...mmmm...you didn't hear
that; the one with the 'hell' in it that is. What I REALLY mean is, 'How are
you doing today, Miss?'. _THAT'S_ what I met. A heh heh..." Joel can hear his
brain applauding. . o O (Bra-_VO_. *sarcastic clapping*)
>Katt peers at Joel as the... well, weird man approaches. In case you were
wondering, no, you haven't made a good first impression. I guess it could be
worse, though, she hasn't decided to beat your skull in yet. "Say... what?"
>Joel holds his face in his hands, embarrassed. "...Hi, my name's Joel. How are
you? (I shoulda said that the FIRST time, but nooooo....)"
>Katt blinks, and blinks again, and a strange expression crosses her face. What
to make of this guy? Well, he's friendlier then the monkey, at least. "I'm...
chilly, but fine."
>Joel raises an eyebrow. "...your name's Chilly?"
>Joel . o O ( She means she is feeling cold at the moment, you goob. Oops. )
>Tasuki automatically responds to the side-conversation, pulling his coat off
and tossing it over to Katt. "This should keep you warm..." He then sideglances
at Nuriko. . o O (Maybe she didn't see that. c.c;)
>Katt peers at Joel again. Hoo-boy, this is going to take some work. "Erm... no.
I'm -Katt-, and I -feel- chilly."
>Katt, being too busy in boggling over Joel, doesn't notice the coat until it
lands on her head //.o' "Mrrph?"
>Joel says, "(OOC) Bah. Time for bed. At least I'll quit making myself look like
a geek. c.c"
>Katt (OOC) Aw, you;ve done enough of that already 'n.n'
>Joel (OOC) waves bye bye.
>Joel has disconnected.
>Nuriko looks over to Tasuki, looking so uncharacteristically thoughtful and
serious, and he smiles. "Tasuki.. you don't have to worry." Now gazing over at
the dimming skyline, he chuckles softly, a low feminine one. "I'm almost
willing to bet that she just hasn't come here yet. All of the Suzaku seishi
aren't here...so it would be strange to say that she had to be here now.."
Walking over to Tasuki, he flashes him a wry smile. "She's probably out
somewhere filling her stomach.. without a care in the world."
>Katt pulls Tasuki's coat off of her head, wrapping it around her shoulders.
Seems to help, a little bit, but she doesn't have enough tact to say 'thanks'
>Tasuki rubs his forehead. Erf, trying to concentrate on too many things at once
makes Bandit brains go pfffft. He looks over his shoulder at Nuriko, smiling
faintly, "Yeah, 'course, Tamahome's here too, so she's probably worryin' about
him.."
>Nuriko nods, smiling. "You're probably right." He blinks, and leans over to
him. "By the way, Tasuki..." He looks curious.
>Katt is left in a quandry now. That weird kid ran off. She can't just walk up
to Tasuki and thank him, because that'd mean she had to take help from someone.
So, doing the only thing she can think of, she just hangs to the side to drip
dry.
>Tasuki huhs, his mouth hanging open slightly as he looks back at Nuriko
curiously. ?.?
>Nuriko griiins! "That was so sweet of you!!" He pokes Tasuki several times in
the sides to annoy him cheerfully. "I knew all that silly stuff about hating
women was nothing but a fraud to cover that bandity heart of gold." He puts his
hands on his waist and laughs. "Haha! ^_^ Tasuki, giving his coat to a girl!
Gotta tell Tamahome.. n.-" He says the last part in a stage whisper, easily
heard by Tasuki.
>Katt ears perk up at that one. Luckily for Tasuki, she didn't catch all of that
latter conversation, but she's beginning to get the gist of things over there
>Tasuki refolds his arms, to emphasize his stubbornness while he tries to sum up
a reasonable excuse. Ah, the perfect one. At least, he thinks so. "She was
freezing, it's only humane."
>Katt inches towards the pair, doing her best sneaking to get close enough to
listen in on this 'o.='
>By the way, he's blushing. Faintly.
>Nuriko nods sagely, smiling with closed eyes. "Sure...as you say, Tasuki...as
you say. ^_^" He flashes him the V sign, and remarks something underneath his
voice about his 'coming out'. n.-
>Tamahome arrives from the north.
>Tasuki begins to remark to Nuriko, until of course, Tamahome arrives. "Aw
s***...<.< >.>" Surrounded.
>Katt is NOT listening in on their conversation. No way, no how! Even if she is
wearing Tasuki's coat (she got attacked by ice before, y'see), and even if she
IS inching towards them to make out what they're saying 'o.-'
>Emeralda arrives from the Obelisk Apartments.
>Tamahome walks slowly down the street, holding a money pouch over his side. o.-
At first, he doesn't notice Tasuki...but, then, when he hears the
swearing....well, it could only be one person! He snaps his head over to him,
"Taaaasukiiiii.." He approaches. o.o
l tama
Tamahome
Before you stands a young man towering a bit above you with his light skin
complextion, and light colored eyes looking down upon you. He smiles gently
with a naiive look upon himself, while his handsome bluish hair flows gently
upon himself. His body appears slightly muscular yet also thin at the same
where he stands, but never can be totaly sure by appearance.
Currently he wears a martial arts sort of uniform within this truly horribly
written description. However, once people pay him enough ryou, he'll surely
write a better one for you all.
Carrying:
>Emeralda bolts on down the road.. *fwoosh*
>Emeralda leaves north.
>Tasuki rubs his forehead with his forearm. "Tamahome...uh....good evening!
...Nuriko's...been drinking a lot...don't pay attention to anything she says."
Please...o.o
>Tamahome blinks for a moment, and sweatdrops.."Nu..Nuriko?" He looks
around...and spots her..er, him! "...." . o O ( Would be nicer if it were
Miaka, but I'll live. ) "Aaaah, Nuriko! What gossip do we have on Tasuki this
evening?" he SMIRKS at Tasuki.
>Katt isn't here. She's the wind! Whoosh! The very essence of quie- *ahCHOO*
>Nuriko grins widely, and raises a hand, swiping his fist at Tasuki. Still
watching Tamahome, perhaps in a sense of concern, he waves a greeting
"Tamahome, long time no see! ^_^ " He decides to let the sight of Katt wearing
Tasuki's coat carry the message for him, since Tasuki had to be making excuses.
"Tasuki decided to share his wardrobe. n.- "
>Tasuki slaps his forehead...thirty or forty times. "See, that's why I hate
women. -.- You get chided just for being nice to them!"
>Tamahome hmmmmmms, "Reeeeaaaally?" he peers on over Tasuki, as he chuckles.
"So, even Tasuki can get a girlfriend, huh? And, I always thought he hated
women.. You sly dog! You were just holding out on us."
Tamahome nudges Tasuki after, of course. ^_-
>Katt decides to get into the act, applying a little staff pressure to Tasuki's
noggin'. "You only helped me 'cause I LET you!"
>Tasuki then, of course, is bonked hard on the head. Twice over. @.@ "Hidoi..."
>Katt turns to Tamahome. "Girl... friend...?" Evil demonic glare of hateful
death shot towards Tamahome 'O.O'
>Tamahome smiles innocently. Hes innocent! Really! Well, probably not, but..
^_^
>Katt whams Tasuki a few (dozen) more times to prove her point. "He! Is! Not!
My! Boyfriend!"
>Tamahome tilts his head in adoration, "Awww... They look so... perfect
together. Don't you agree, Nuriko?" he SMIRKS. ^_^
>Tasuki swirls in place like a punch-drunken boxer, before passing out, waving
his tessen with a white linen tied to it.
>Nuriko awws, and he hes, leaning over to whisper in Tamahome's ear. "I agree.
^^ We'd better leave the two lovebirds alone... Apparently, they're into the
violent type of affection. n.-;;" He wraggles a finger at poor *whackwhack*ed
Tasuki.
>Katt really hopes Tamahome had clarity of mind to duck. Incoming!
>Tamahome stepsteps away. ^_^ he nodnods to Nuriko, "But, of course... Shall we
get a drink then, Nuriko? Talk about old times, and let these two lovers
alone. I'm sure someones going to have fuuuuuuun tonight!" he winks at Tasuki.
^_-
>Katt GRRRS, clenching her teeth, shoot dagger-eyed-glares, that sort of thing
. o O ( How'd he dodge!? )
>Tamahome dodged by stepping away. Easy. ^_- Should try using that technique
when you can see exactly whats coming for you sometime. It works wonders. ;)
>Tasuki hops to his feet about as quickly as he fell off of them, expanding the
fan (sans white flag), he throws a glare at Tamahome, "Lekka shien!" And
slices the fan through the air, sending a lovely blast of friendly fire at the
smirking money-grubber. n.n v
>Tamahome unfortunatly, didn't see that one coming, and goes POOF in a puff of
smoke. X.X
>Nuriko quickly sidesteps the fire, watching Tamahome burn. o.o;; "Anou.."
>Tasuki grins fangedly, patting the tessen against his shoulder, "I never miss.
n.n"
>Katt chuckles to herself as she slings her staff back over her shoulder.
>Tamahome wipes the black charkole off of him, and HRUMPHS at Tasuki. "Seems
SOMEONE is wanting a little dip in the fountain later. o.-"
>Katt bidaah's Tamahome, showing her well developed maturity.
>Tasuki chuckles heartily, well, nervously is a better word, "I fear no body of
water!" Please don't hurt me. o.o
>Tamahome smiiiiiiiiiiiiiles at Tasuki. "Reeeaaally? Lets go on for a swim
then, Tasuki. Show your new girl just how brave you are. Or are you.....
chicken? ^_^"
>Katt steps up to Tamahome, tapping him on the shoulder '-.-'
>Nuriko chuckles weakly, and waves for the fight to calm down for a bit. Boys
will be boys. "Anyway, we're together, let's go someplace to eat and talk!
n.n;" Light of reason, please make your presence known...
>Tamahome smiles sweetly at Katt. ^_^ "No offense. n.-" he then looks over
towards Nuriko afterwards, and chuckles, "Good idea actually.." Before nodding
seriously, "We do have alot to talk about, I'm sure....."
>Katt coughs, and says in an even tone, "I don't know if I wasn't clear enough
before, but... I am NOT his GIRLFRIEND!" There's the wind up... *ker-SWING*
>Tamahome POW, and falls back. x.x He sweatdrops, as he pushes himself back up.
"Yeesh, seems some girls don't have a sense of humour anymore. o.-;"
>Tasuki shakes his head, "No one's dumb enough...to, uh, swim in this weather.
o.o The water'd be freezing." He nods, almost believing himself.
>Katt slings the staff over her shoulder once again, looking rather smug. I do
believe she got her point across. Or, at least, you better hope so, for your
dental bills.
>Tamahome chuckles at Tasuki, "Really? Hrmm..Odd.. It seems like good weather
to me. Buuuut...if you choose to be a wimp.....^_^" He smiiiiiiles.
>Nuriko's hand rests upon the wall of a nearby building, tapping on it
impatiently. His face a tad annoyed, he doesn't really do anything extreme,
because this boyish bantering was good for the spirit. But, all good things
must come to an end. "Taasuki...Tamahooomee.. let's go?"
>Tasuki glances at Nuriko, "Hai, hai, let's go eat." Whoo, convenient excuse to
avoid Tamahome. n.n
>Katt waves her hand. "Hey! HEY! You're forgetting something!"
>Tasuki glances at Katt, "You want to come too?"
>Tamahome nods towards Nuriko afterwards, gaining a serious look upon him once
again. He'll let Tasuki survive through this ordeal...for now. He then
follows on over towards Nuriko afterwards, "Perhaps we had better."
>Tifa arrives from the south.
>Tifa wanders past o.o
>Katt sweatdrops . o O ( Idiot, I was just going to give 'im his jacket
back...) She ponders this a moment, then asks, "... What are you going to do?"
>Tifa leaves north.
>Tasuki glances over at Katt, "You want to come with us?"
>Katt steps over to Tasuki. "I dunno. Where are you going?"
>Nuriko falls in line behind Tamahome.
>Tasuki falls in line behind Tamahome.
>Tasuki shrugs, "Just gonna get somethin' to eat, I guess. You coming?"
>Katt hmmphs. "Don't see why not. But you're paying." '-.-'
>You fall in line behind Tasuki.
>Tasuki shakes his head, "Tamahome's payin', he's the moneymaker of us."
>Katt shrugs. "As long as it isn't me."
>Tamahome o.- at Tasuki. "Oi... I'm saving that money. -.-"
>Katt smiles at Tamahome. "Not anymore!" *beamsmileinnocentbeam*
>Tasuki asks, "You can spare food money for your friends, can't you?"
>Tamahome says, "Besides, your the thief.. well, bandit, but close enough!
...so, you can pay for me, Tasuki! Thanks, pal!" he pats his back, then walks
on towards the north with a grin on his face. ^_^
>Tasuki exclaims, "Hey! I don't have a single ryou on me, you jerk!"
>Tamahome just continues walking north. n.n
>Tamahome leaves north.
>Tasuki leaves, with you following after.

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.
[Exits : (B)ack Room, (K)itchen, (U)pstairs, and (O)ut ]
Tasuki arrives, with Katt following behind.
Tamahome arrives, with Nuriko and Tasuki following behind.

[Things : None ]
>Tifa @.@ over at Alex and then O.O at the gem. "Wow.. Sugoi!" ^_^
>Ryan snatches the gem up, holding it towards Tifa. "Here ya go, for damages,
tab, that sort of thing." Crimminy, the darn ruby's at least an inch and a half
across O_o
>Tifa pockets it! "Hai, arigato!" ^-^
>Tifa is all smiles.. Yay, money!
>Tamahome pushes the door open as he walks inside, smiling as he moves on over
towards a table. ^_^
>Ryan . o O ( Saved! Now, just don't ask about what she did with Cloud last
night, and you're home free, Tabbot! )
>Tamahome (OOC) snatches! Yay, money! *_*
>Alex continues to wipe a glass behind the bar. "Guess I should inform you thatI
have taken over bartending duties.."
>Katt looks around the place . o O ( Hmm, haven't been in here in a while )
>Tasuki follows Tamahome, taking a seat accross from him. Of course, that way
he's out of whacking/grabbing and tossing in river/lynching range. "So, bring
out the money, man. Too bad Hotohori isn't around..."
>Ryan attempts to slip out while Tifa is blinded by the large crystal @_@
>Tamahome smirks at Tasuki. "And, I had thought you suddenly volunteered to pay.
^_-" He sits down himself, of course.
>Tifa ohhs.. "You didn't have to, Alexander-san.." ^_^
>Tifa snags Ryan by the collar o.o; I have to talk to you!
>Ryan stops right at the door. "Erk..." o_o "Um, yeah?"
>Alex nods to Tifa. "So many times I had arrived in this room to find no one
serving. I do not mind. Plus, it would repay you for the room I am renting."
>Katt takes a seat, as far as possible from Tasuki and company while remaining
on the same table 'o.-'
>Tasuki peers at Tamahome, "Too cheap to pay for dinner, huh?"
>Tifa mumbles, "..... you even ..... ..... .. ..... happened .." to Ryan.
>Tifa releases Ryan ^_^;
>Ryan gives a thumbs up. "Gotcha." n.n;;;;
>Tifa nods.. "I really apprriciate it.." ^^
>Ryan doesn't BELIEVE you, but... he'll be tactful enough not to say anything
n.n;;
>Alex nods to Tifa.
>Tamahome smirks at Tasuki, "Oh, fine... Just to keep you from crying, Tasuki."
>Ryan zips out the door, saying as he does so, "That gem should be more then
enough to pay for structural repairs and stuff."
>Tifa will strangle you if you think it, Ryan o.o;
>Tifa exclaims, "Hai, arigato!!"
>Consider me strangled, then o.o;
>Ryan is gone! Whoosh!
>Ryan heads out the front door.
>Tifa bouncies up to the bar, happy.. Someone paid their damn bar tab ^^
>Tasuki is poor enough as not to be insulted by Tamahome's comment. c.c And he's
not about to give up the ruby he has hidden away somewhere.
>Alex wipes the glass clean, setting it on the rack.
>Katt runs her index finger in a circle on the table. "I just want... a soda,
and maybe some chips."
>Tasuki says, "Gimme a bottle of sake, and some tempura prawns, Tamahome. n.n"
>Tifa glances over at the rowdy table o' seishi.. "What can I get for you?" She
calls.
>Katt ain't no seishi! But she sure is rowdy!
>Alex overheard the sake request, getting a bottle of sake prepared...
>Tamahome smirks, and looks on over towards Tifa, "Just some rice, and sake...
And, for the rest, give them what they want as well." he signals towards the
others sitting with him.
>Katt already ordered, so she waits patiently. Well, relatively patiently. That
means she doesn't break any furniture.
>Tasuki snaps his fingers, repeating his order. "Sake and tempura prawns. n.n"
>Tifa nodnods.. And goes back to the kitchen to get the orders ready, trusting
Alexander to the sake.
>Alex's tail opens the refridgerator while he heats up the sake, removing a can
of soda, setting it on the counter next to a glass of ice
>Katt is still a bit damp from the little run in with Hex, but Tasuki's coat
seems to have helped. Not that she'd admit it.
>Tamahome just....smiles, as he waits patiently. ^_^
>Tifa returns with all the food shortly, setting down plates.
>Katt beams, digging into her chips in a rather unladylike fashion. Well, talk
about simple pleasures.
>Tasuki grabs his plate and begins to scarf down. Mmm, nice fried prawns. Those
fangs must facilitate his eating. o.o
>l me
Katt(#708PB$)
-=O=- -=-=- -= Katt =- -=-=- -=O=-
Hmm, now this is one interesting lady, that's for sure. She's definately in the
petite category, about 5'1", and her build is slight; lean and toned. Her
figure is excellent, if you prefer athletic women, with just the right amount
of curvature. However, the first thing to strike your eyes is probably the fact
she's a feline. Not entirely mind you, but the resemblance is more than
coincidental. Her ears are furry, pointed cat ears, and tiger stripes mark her
cheeks. Further down, below the waist, she's covered in tiger-striped fur; her
toes are clawed, and a bushy tail sways behind her. Looking towards her face
you see that she could be considered attractive, if more towards 'cute' then
'beautiful'. Her wide brown eyes meet yours, and close-cut red hair frames her
face.
Her outfit is conservative... well, not conservative as in old-fashioned, but
conservative in the 'wear as little as possible to allow free movement' school
of fashion design. The central piece is the blue halter top she wears. It's
tied around the back of her neck, and held down by a broad leather belt. Her
hands are protected by fingerless purple gloves, the back of the knuckles
studded with brass, perhaps to make an effective striking surface. As you look
downwards, you see she doesn't wear a skirt or slacks (*bop* Hentai! The fur is
more then enough!), but purple thigh boots cover her feet. They're toeless, so
her clawed feet can peek through, and they flare out at the top.
Carrying: (Currency: 534 plushies)
Staff(#1828), and Midgaard City Map(#798)
>Alex finishes heating the sake, reaching over and opening the soda, pouring it
over the ice. He takes up a tray of sake cups and the bottle, then the glass of
soda and the can, carrying ot overto the table.
>Tifa sits down on a barstool and kicks back. Oye, she's tired.
>Tamahome looks at the food for a few moments at first, as he gains a serious
look upon himself. He doesn't say a word, though. . o O ( If Miaka were
here...she'd of finished her food, and mine by now....... Damn it, Nakago..
What the hell did you do...... )
>Katt gets a nice rythmn going. Eat chips, eat chips, chew, swallow, chug soda,
repeat
>Alex returns to the bar, wiping it down with a towel.
>Nuriko glances around at the bar, and flashes a wide grin at Tasuki and
Tamahome. It sure has been a long time. It was great to see them again. He
then considers the little ruckus on the street, and hmmms.. could it... had
it....yep, probably. He turns around, and yanks the makeup and powder out of
his pocket, bapping his face with it. After checking himself in the mirror, he
smiles, and sets down to his order of wine and ... Tamahome's look disturbs
him. "Tamahome..?"
>Tamahome blinks for a moment as he hears someone calling his name, and he
quickly snaps back into reality. He shakes his head quickly afterwards, and
looks on over towards Nuriko right after.. He blinks again, and frowns. "There
is something you should probably know, Nuriko..."
>Tasuki flashes a smile at Katt between prawns. n.n He then continues eating, a
bit ignorant of Tamahome and Nuriko, at least for now. He remains content,
eating.
>Katt is too content in eating to notice the angst, or Tasuki's attention. She
is kinda cute, wearing Tasuki's jacket like that. And the first one to say so
will be in a world 'o hurt.
>Katt . o O ( What IS a prawn anyway? '9.9' )
>Nuriko smiles, if somewhat sadly. "I know." His eyes seem to hold Tamahome's
in a kinship of sorrow and sympathy, violet hair drifting down to play in his
line of sight, lighting upon Tamahome's serious demeanor. "Do you want to talk
about it? "
>Tasuki finishes off his last prawn, and idly plays with the crispy, greasy
tail. He glances over at Tamahome and blinks, "..."
>Tamahome frowns afterwards, as he looks towards the table...not touching his
food, nor sake. But, he certainly does at least reply towards Nuriko. "So, I
assume Tasuki told you that Nakago is here as well? ....That..." He clenches
his fists tightly afterwards, as he grits his teeth, "...That the bastard says
he killed Miaka?"
>Katt freezes in her tracks. That's the same type of talk that was slung around
when those two were duking it out with that blond idiot a few days ago. "...?"
>Alex takes up another empty glass, wiping it clean, his ears turned slightly
towards the occupied table, listening idly...
>Tasuki shakes his head, "Tamahome, Miaka isn't..." He bites his lip, easy
enough to say, but, he's not sure if it's good to mention Miaka around Tamahome
at all. His eyes fall on the sake bottle (not the cups, mind you), and he
reaches over to grab it.
>Tifa tries not to listen as she sips on her water.. Not that the table is
really quiet, mind you.. Oh well. Bartenders hear everything.
>Alexander mumbles, "..... ..... ..... ..... you of ..... current
whereabouts ..... ..... mecha ..... last night .." to Tifa.
>Tifa mumbles, "Iie .. ..... ..... hear anything ..... all .. .. It's
..... ..... thing the ..... wasn't ..... .. ..... ..... looked nasty
.." to Alexander.
>Katt looks back, and forth. She would really want to ask who this Miaka is, but
she has a distinct feeling that would be a bad thing to do right now. "..."
>Alexander mumbles, "..... ..... fight .. they ..... the remaining .....
.. ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... fourth ..... ..... ..... outside
.. ..... ..... ..... should ..... ever ..... .." to Tifa.
>Tifa mumbles, "..... .. .. ..... you for ..... me .." to Alexander.
>Alex nods to Tifa.
>Tifa sips at her water.
>Alexander mumbles, "..... feel that it is best to ..... ..... .....
up-to-date ..... any potential problems ..... ..... or property .." to
Tifa.
>Nuriko looks at Tamahome, as he appears to have been brought to near the
breaking point already. "Tamahome.." He closes his eyes, trying not to let his
own sadness and fustration overwhelm him...no...that would be disastrous. He
reopens them, lavender eyes gazing at the bitter man. "Tamahome, do you
_really_....think she's dead?" The cat's abilities be damned...no ones were
closer than two destined lovers...
>Tifa smiles to Alexander and nods. "Hai, Alexander-san, I appriciate it."
>Tasuki flashes another sheepish smile at Katt, trying to distract her from the
conversation. At least he thinks she probably isn't enjoying it.
>Tifa looks down at her glass, swirling the water.. The icecubes clink against
the sides chimingly. "If the bar was destroyed, I don't know what I'd do."
>Katt rubs the bridge of her nose. Well, nobody ever claimed that Katt has a
wealth of common sense. "Ah... sorry... but... who is Miaka?"
>Tasuki says, "Miaka is Tamahome's love...and..." He casts a glance at Nuriko,
"Nuriko-san's and my friend."
>Alex nods to Tifa. "As one of your employees, I will make it a priority that
such never occurs, at the cost of my life."
>Tifa shakes her head. "It's nice of you, but a buisness isn't worth anyone's
life. " She perks up slightly, "Besides, I have plenty of friends and Cloud,
I'm sure I'd live.."
>Katt rubs the bridge of her nose, eventually working up enough mettle to
respond, rather meekly, "... Oh."
>Tamahome's eyes are now closed shut. Clamped shut, rather. He grits his
fingertips into the edge of the table, as he hears Nurikos words.."You think...
I would actually believe him?" he asks in a cold tone of voice. "Miaka... Will
come here... soon... I just know it.. Her regular... smiling face. And, that
is why I am still earning money... to provide for her when she does." He then
clasps his right hand around the sake of his own, as he smirks. He looks over
towards Nuriko right after, with his eyes reopened...yet, seemingly ready to
burst into tears. Yet, his inner strength, and pride, keeps him from doing so.
"She will come... I feel it." And, then, he chugs down the sake.
>Alex bows slightly. "But it is a var's lot to lay down his life for his
employer, if such a cause is there."
>Katt looks up, at Tamahome, then at Tasuki. "And who was that... Nagako?...
jerk?"
>Tifa shakes her head.. "You're welcome to board here so long as you want to ..
You don't need to work or anything, I'm not strict about anything like that..
Although I do appriciate the effort. I don't know what a var is, demo, no
matter what happens to the bar, I'll be okay.. I've got some savings."
>Alex nods again. "Var is short for cultivar. It is what I am. But I shall still
seeto itthat no permanent damage is done to this location, as long as I am able
to."
>Nuriko nods to Tamahome, his eyes still watching him, as he glugs down the
sake. With a shake of the head, he smiles, no longer a sad one, but a somewhat
relieved one. If Tamahome still held it in his heart that Miaka still
lived...still existed.. then she was alive still. This was certain. Reaching
over, Nuriko grabs a glass of wine, and sips it somewhat heartily, the tension
relaxing from his body. "And we'll be waiting right behind you...right
Tasuki?" Winks at Tasuki. n.-
>Tasuki eh-hehs, and decides how exactly to phrase it. "....." Whoo, listen to
those gears. "Well, he's a dumb @#^! jerk who is trying to !@#% his own
homeland over, because I think he's pissed off at the emperor or something. And
he's tryin' to kill us, so we don't get in his way...we're the Suzaku Seishi. I
told you my name was Genrou, but...I'm the Suzaku Seishi Tasuki." He looks at
Nuriko, blinking confusedly, "Uh...?"
>Nuriko starts cracking his knuckles. "Right, Tasuki? n.n"
>Tasuki rubs his forehead, "Right what? o.o"
>Tifa nods.. "I appricate it.." She beams warmly at Alexander.
>Katt listens intently to Tasuki. She understands the basics, but since she's
lacking on the details (Suzaku?), it all doesn't quite fit together. Seeing as
how the tension in here is thick enough to cut with a chainsaw, she doesn't
press the issue further, only replying, "Idiot, beat up on sight, gotcha."
>Alex finishes wiping the glass, setting it in the rack with the rest of the
clean ones. "Although, I am not typical of most vars... I'm the last remaining
member of a prototype strain... But I still hold to some of my programming."
>Tasuki glances at Katt, shaking his head emphatically, "No! You could never
handle him, Katt." Of course, whatever impending facial damage is coming from
Nuriko, Tasuki is totally ignorant to it.
>Tamahome blinks, and then chuckles lightly at Nuriko, as he sweatdrops
slightly. "Its okay, Nuriko... Really. But... Thanks." He then looks off
towards the side afterwards...hoping...just *hoping* that the young girl will
run through that door, smiling cheerfully as she always does. . o O ( Miaka...
You are fine, aren't you? Where are you? )
>Tasuki says, "(OOC) We need a Miaka. u.u"
>Katt jerks to her feet. "You underestimating me again!?" She reaches for that
staff, but decides better of it... she doesn't want to pay for property damage.
"For your information, I fought a demon lord, with my friends! Nothing's
impossible, and don't you forget it!"
>Nuriko smiles at Tasuki, one hand hidden from Tamahome's sight, which abruptly
is encased in a red glowing gauntlet. "We're going to be right beside him,
waiting for Miaka...right, Tasuki?" He's still smiling cheerfully, but that
gauntlet... But when Tamahome speaks, it fades away, and he looks over at
Tamahome, not speaking...
>Tasuki pikus, "Of course..." He looks at Tamahome, "Dude, if you want to talk
or anything, you just have to ask...I *have* been worrying about you. I mean,
who else do I have to barbeque...?"
>Katt fumes to herself . o O ( That idiot isn't even listening to me... well,
that's FINE by ME. ) She slips off the jacket, tossing it (rather violently)
at the much maligned Tasuki's head, as she turns and heads for the door . o
O ( I dunno about this Miaka girl, but if all they're doing is sitting around
moping and getting beat up NOTHING good'll happen! )
>Alex turns and looks towards the commotion atthe table, watching the angry
feline stalk off...
>Tamahome continues looking off to the side...towards the window, as his eyes
seek out towards the depths of the darkness in the night. He then quickly
brings the rest of the sake to his lips after, and drinks it down. And, in
reply to Tasuki's comment, he looks over towards him afterwards, "Don't
worry...I'm fine. Allright? Just don't worry... She'll be fine." Wait..She'll
be fine? Wasn't this about him? Anyways, he sweatdrops slightly, then sips
the rest of his sake, before setting it down. "Besides, Tasuki...You are no
match for me anyways, so you wouldn't get very many chances. ^_-"
>Tasuki begins to get severe mental feedback! Too much info at once. >.< "Wait,
Katt-chan!" He hops up, knocking his seat over as he does so. He glances
nervously at Nuriko and Tamahome, then walks over to Katt, trying not to
imagine the looks Nuriko and Tamahome could possibly be giving him.
>Katt is already heading out the door. If you're willing to sacrifice some
dignity, you can probably catch her 'n.-' (player needs sleep, though, so
try to be quick...)
>o
You leave 7th heaven destined again for the chaos of the city.
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.
[Exits : (N)orth, Tifa's Seventh Heaven (7), (T)ransit Station, Path (D)own
to the Gorge, Suspension (B)ridge, and (S)outh ]
[Sleepers: Fei, Motoroid Red(Pup), Elhaym, and Hammer ]
[Things : None ]
>Tasuki comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
>Katt is busy making dents in streetlamps, passing motor vehicles, brick
walls... that sort of thing. Seems a mite frustrated.
>Tasuki bumbles out the door, "Katt...errr..." He just *now* realizes that he's
standing outside, and following you. o.o
>Katt turns on her heels to face you. Judging from the way her tail isn't
lashing, but just standing straight, she isn't angry, or surprised, at least.
That'll save you some money on analgesics. "What!?"
>Tasuki says, "I'm sorry, for...uh, well, Nakago...he's..." He sighs, scratching
the side of his forehead. Explanations aren't his forte, especially not
tonight. "I just don't want you to get hurt..."
>Katt crosses her arms under her chest. She glances to the side, oddly avoiding
eye contact. Hmm. "I'm.. not THAT easy to hurt, y'know. How about I just tell
you if I see him, then we beat the snot out of him as a group?"
>Tasuki takes a meek step forward, "Well, I've always been loud, you know that,
and I always say what I feel. I love you. You're not like other girls, hey,
you're cute, but you don't try and emphasize it. You can stand up for yourself,
I don't have to worry about you a lot...though this feeling I have makes me
want to, I mean. If you were gone...then the person that I think I love would
be gone...you know what I mean." He sighs, rubbing his left fang nervously with
a tongue. "Just don't do anything rash if you do see him...He probably knows
who you are, now..."
>Hoo-boy. I do believe you broke something important. Katt snaps her head to
look at you, at that second sentence. The rest of that speech sinks in, slowly,
but is mostly glazed over in her head. Katt's tail lashes back and forth as an
expression of... anger?... crosses her face. She turns her head, murmuring
"Idiot" to herself, before she turns and runs off.
>Tasuki looks down, "Yeah, that's what I thought, too." He repeats the word, for
emphasis, "Idiot..."
>Katt is gone... (To bed! Ha! @_@ )
