Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RA)
The tall stained glass windows of the old building flood the room with a soft
light. Your ears hear every creak and bend as you step across the old wooden
floor. This once joyous place of worship has recently been cleaned,
refurbished, and remodeled into a fine place to live. The floors are dust
free, the pews are in straight lines, and even some of the old wood has been
removed and replaced. Electric lights hanging overhead hum with energy,
glowing at night, thanks to a small white generator located in the corner. A
personal computer is also located in that corner as well, with a sticker on the
side 'Property of Skuld'. A portion of the wooden floor is still broken away,
revealing a patch of wild flowers growing in the center of the room. It's a
cute little addition to the quaint atmosphere here.

>Derek looks up from his tea and grins, "Well, look what the cat dragged in.."
>Derek asks, "What're you looking for? Or, should I ask who?"
>Cloud steps into the building off the street.
>Cloud knocks on the door quietly.
>Lyrae stands at the table, folding the same towel over and over again until she
realizes it, and takes a different towel. She looks up at Derek's voice, then
looks towards the door again smiling vaguely towards Ryan and Cloud, "Come in
Cloud. Hello Ryan."
>Ryan hmmphs. "Some welcome. Sheesh, guy comes to bring you lunch, this's how you
say 'hi'?" He hefts up a big bag 'o fast food
>Kim looks up as visitors arrive
>Kim says, "Hey guys"
>Derek grins, "Lunch? Well, thank you then.." ^_^
>Ryan grumbles something as he tosses the bag at Derek with a smirk
>Lyrae's glance slides towards, and focuses on, Kim
Kim
A young girl, approximately 18 years of age you'd guess, is before your eyes.
Her complexion is fair with a gentle face and kind, yet colorless, eyes. Her
hair is a very deep blue, with loose bangs hanging slightly curled, framing her
face. A pair of long strands hang in front of her ears and down to her
shoulders, while the rest extends down to fully cover her back. Her overall
figure, for what you can tell, is very petite, with not too much to show off at
all.
Kim's outfit is one of the few showy ones she has in her closet, as it
actually attempts to accentuate her figure a bit rather than hide it. To begin
with, she has on a red, sleeveless shirt. It has two buttons at the top near
the collar, both of them undone, and is worn rather loosely on her torso, not
tucked in tightly at all. What it is tucked into is a black denim mini skirt,
held tightly at her waist with a matching black belt, but hanging comfortably
loose down almost to her knees. A plain black vest is worn over the shirt,
while a pair of white socks are on her feet. Though they can't be seen due to
the large black army style boots covering her feet. To finish off the outfit,
a black chinese style hat rests upon her head. Her eyes peek out from under
the brim to look at you as she smiles sweetly.

Le'San(Pup), Emerald Armlet, and Midgaard City Map
>Cloud enters. "Good afternoon, everyone." He nods at everyone in greetings.
>Derek snags the bag out of the air and smiles, "What brings both of you here?
Still hiding?"
>Cloud says, "Hmmm? Hiding?" He looks at Ryan.
>Ryan crosses his arms. "Hmmph. Hiding from?"
>Kim blinks
>Lyrae glances towards the boys silently, setting her towel down as she walks
down the aisle towards Kim slowly, smiling.
>Derek peeks in the bag and nods, "Yeah, wasn't Tifa mad at you, Cloud?"
>Oooh! Generic freeze-dried hamburger substance!
>Kim looks up at Lyrae and smiles to her. ^_^
>Cloud shakes his head. "We worked it out."
>Ryan blinks at Derek. That boy just don't know when to be quiet.
>Lyrae smiles down at Kim, though there is a funny look in her eyes. "Say Kim,
why don't we go down to the store and get some sodas? I can show you where that
other..place.. was. The one I got this at I mean." She indicates her clothing.
Lyrae
Standing at about 5'6", the young woman before you regards you with a faint,
somewhat hesitant half-smile, her head tilting slightly. Her bright green eyes
sparkle with concealed emotions, a faintly bemused air surrounding her, her
normally pale complexion a touch darker from being out in the sun. Her long
hair is styled differently as well, cascading down past her hips, the shorter
parts of her hair framing her face on either side, hiding her ears, while her
bangs are styled sharply away from her face, then curling down towards the
center at a sharp angle.
She has abandoned her previous dark look, possibly temporarily, in favor of
something a notch more colorful; A long sleeved white velvet blouse is worn
over her torso, the neckline dipping downwards with a dark V' cut along the
black trim on the outer wear, exposing just a little bit of her cleavage,
keeping her modesty intact. A pair of snug-fitting navy blue denim jeans and a
pair of black western-style boots that reach her calves complete her outfit.
Her hands clasped behind her back, she holds a brown leather jacket about her
waist. Her only accessory appears to be a necklet of gold wrapped about her
neck, and a dangling white-gold cross hanging on a wide gold chain just below
that.
>Kim says, "Cool. I could definately use something to change in to. ^_^"
>Derek . o O ( Hrm, not much, but it is food.. )
>Kim stands up
>Derek looks over at Kim and Lyrae curiously
>Ryan takes a seat on one of the pews. "Have fun."
>Lyrae smiles and reaches for Kim's hand.
>Lyrae doesn't glance towards Ryan as she answers, "Oh I'm sure we will." She
smiles silently, "There's nothing like two girls out on the town."
>Cloud . o O ( ... ... ... )
>Lyrae closes her eyes, and opens them again, looking over out of the corner of
her eye, "I won't be long."
>Ryan hmms at that. Something fishy going on, but he doesn't argue... no proof.
>Kim takes Lyrae's hand
>Kim falls in line behind Lyrae.
>Derek blinks at Lyrae . o O ( )
>Kim says, "Let's shop! ^_^"
>Lyrae giggles, "Till we drop."
>Lyrae waves with her free hand, and walks out, half tugging, half leading Kim
behind her.
>Cloud mumbles, "... what's wrong with Lyrae?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... ..... with ..... .." to Ryan.
>Lyrae leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Lyrae leaves, with Kim following behind her.
>You mumble, "I have no idea... but somethin's going on." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "I have ..... idea .. .. .. ..... ..... ..... on .."
to Cloud.
>Cloud nods, looking towards Derek. He to blame?
>Ryan shrugs at Cloud
>Derek sighs and sets the food down. He doesn't feel very hungry anymore.. u_u
>Ryan decides to just ask. Easiest way to get answers. "Hey, Derek? Something up
with Lyrae?"
>Derek looks up and shrugs, "I wish I knew.. She's been acting strangely
lately.."
>Ryan hmmms . o O ( ... I just KNOW something's going on here. But WHAT!? )
>Cloud sighs. "Derek, how's Yuffie?"
>Derek says, "Kim said she was back to the way she was when we first met her. A
pain in the ass.."
>Ryan sweatdrops. "... That isn't saying much."
>Cloud asks, "Does she still have amnesia?"
>Derek shakes his head, "Not from what I heard. She's got her memory back.."
>Cloud sighs, crossing his arms. "And how is Lyrae? Derek... what happened at
Tifa's?"
>Ryan raises an eyebrow
>Derek arches an eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean? All that happened was
Tifa locked her and me in the backroom for some reason. All we did was talk
until Janus let us out.." -_-
>Cloud shakes his head. "No... not Lyrae. ... Sato."
>Ryan blinks
>Derek blinks and frowns, "Oh, that." He blushes slightly and goes to reach
behind the altar, pulling out a wrapped bundle, "Someone killed her.." From the
cloth, he pulls out a dagger, "This was the murder weapon. Tifa let me take it
to see if I could trace it at all.."
>Derek holds up a plain looking dagger with a green materia set in the pommel.
>Anything really unusual about it?
>What kind of materia?
>Derek says, "(OOC) Nothing unusual, and the materia has been found out to be
Fire.."
>Ryan snaps his fingers. "DNA analysis."
>Cloud hmmms? "Do you know anyone who can do it, Ryan?"
>Ryan cracks his knuckles. "Hell, *I* could do it. Don't got the right
equipment, but I can get it..."
>Cloud nods. "How long would it take?"
>Ryan says, "Under a week... actual analasys takes a day or less, it's just
getting the equipment."
>Ryan . o O ( I should probably go see the appraiser to check on the gold...
9.9 )
>Derek thinks, "Uhm, actually, I think someone's already taking care of one
analysis.." . o O ( I think that's what Kei and Yuri were going to do.. )
>Ryan blinks, and nods to Derek. "Gotcha." Pause. "Who?"
>Derek sweatdrops, "Uhm, these two girls that I met the other day. Said they
were from law enforcement agency called the WWWA.." 9_9;
>Ryan blinks. "Never heard of it."
>Derek says, "They were pretty nice, and took care of things. Haven't heard or
seen them again since then though.."
>Cloud says, "I see." He looks at Ryan. Haven't heard of them either.
>Ryan . o O ( The UN make ANOTHER damned police force or something? )
>Derek scratches his cheek, "Actually, they said they were interplanetary...can
you believe it?" 9_9 ^_^;
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Go figure." . o O ( ... )
>Derek looks over and shrugs, "Anyway, they said they'd work on it. I'm just
trying to find out where this came from.."
>Ryan scowls. "How much you wanna bet it's from either Esmerelda or Sensou?"
>Derek nods, "I'm almost positive it is..but there's no clue as to who used it.."
>Ryan asks, "That's the trick, isn't it...?"
>Cloud hmmms, looking at the dagger. "Is it possible to trace who made it?"
>Lyrae steps into the building off the street.
>Ryan looks over his shoulder. "Heya again." He pauses. "Where's Kim?"
>Lyrae slips in the door and pushes it closed, her back to the rest of you
people, then blinks o O ( ..they're still here. ) She shuts the door firmly and
turns around with a bright smile, "Still shopping," she giggles.
>Ryan asks, "Where?"
>Derek looks up and nods to Lyrae as he gets to his feet, "Well, I think I'll go
get some practice in.."
>Lyrae quietly says, "At the store, I told you."
>Ryan rolls his eyes. "THAT"s descriptive.
>Lyrae blinks at Derek, ".." then chirps, "Okay!..."
>You mumble, "I may be getting paranoid... but SOMETHING's up." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "I may be ..... ..... .. .. .. ..... ..... up .." to
Cloud.
>Lyrae glances back at Ryan, catching herself before she narrows her eyes,
"There's a clothing store about an hour away, Hazy's I think it's called. We
caught a cab there and I came back since she wanted to stay a little longer."
>Derek . o O ( She's chipper, and actually came back without Kim?
I must be losing it.. )
>Cloud mumbles, "... What makes you think that?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... ..... you think ..... .." to Ryan.
>Lyrae crosses her arms, smiling widely, "Anyone want some tea?" She mentally
ERKS. o O ( ....I forgot to get the soda.. )
>You mumble, "Just ain't like her... dunno... and Kim probably still isn't
feeling too great. Maybe I am paranoid." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "Just ain't ..... ..... .. .. .. ..... .. .. .. and
..... ..... still ..... ..... too great .. ..... ..... am ..... .."
to Cloud.
>Cloud nods quietly.
>Ryan blinks. "Didn't have to agree so quickly, Cloud." o.-;
>Cloud mumbles, "Wait and see..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... ..... ..... .. .. .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "... I'll follow her if she goes anywhere else, just to be safe..."
to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, ".. .. .. I'll ..... her ..... ..... goes anywhere
..... .. just ..... ..... ..... .. .. .." to Cloud.
>Lyrae smiles calmly, "Boys?" she looks at Ryan and Cloud, a few steps away,
"Can I pull you away from your..conference.. for an answer, by any chance?"
>Derek leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Ryan hmmms? "Got a question?"
>Lyrae inwardly grits her teeth and patiently repeats, "I asked you if you
wanted anything to drink."
>Cloud blinks, then shakes his head politely. "No thank you."
>Ryan blinks, rubbing his nose. "Oh. Had a soda when I got the fast food."
>Lyrae takes a step back, smiling brightly, "Okay then."
>Lyrae pauses to adjust her jacket slightly, glancing towards the window
silently for a moment.
>Ryan says, "Hey, tell Kim to see me when she gets back, I wanna ask her a few
things."
>Lyrae quietly says, "Oh, I don't think she'll be back for a while." she muses
idly.
>Cloud asks, "Hmmm? You mean she had that much energy left after... last night?"
>Lyrae looks at Cloud, "Oh that's not what I meant at all." She smiles.
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Well, she has to be back tonight. Can't shop ALL day,
store close eventually..." Yes, Ryan is paranoid. Hell, gods know you two have
gotten into loads of trouble before...
>Lyrae looks at Ryan, before she stuffs her hands in her jacket pockets and
sighs, (crossing her fingers in the pockets), "Well Kim was pretty upset over
the Yuffie thing.. She said she didn't really want to come back here until
Yuffie's gone. So she's staying at another place."
>Ryan frowns, then looks at Cloud. This ain't helping his suspicions much. "Tell
her to give me a call tonight, okay?"
>Lyrae nods at Ryan, "Sure okay."
>Ryan nods to Lyrae. "..."
>Lyrae smiles guilelessly at Ryan, "Something wrong?"
>Ryan shakes his head. "Nah, just want to talk to her."
>Lyrae quietly says, "Oh well I'll tell her anyway. I was going to go back and
check up on her myself. She doesn't really want to talk to anyone.."
>Ryan smirks. "Well, lets leave that decision up to her, okay?"
>Lyrae narrows her eyes for the briefest of seconds as she turns, waving a hand
lightly, "Well who else?"
>Lyrae steps lightly into the bedroom.
>Ryan scowls to himself when Lyrae isn't looking.
>Cloud says, "... maybe we should go with her."
>Ryan nods to Cloud as he leaps to his feet
>Lyrae steps back out with a suitcase, "I'll be back soon. This should be enough
for Kim to settle in."
>Ryan walks towards Lyrae. "Let me carry that for you."
>Cloud says, "...?" as he looks back at Ryan. "Settle in?"
>Lyrae looks at Cloud, "Well temporary. She's staying at a ..safehouse of sorts
that I found a few weeks ago. She'll be gone for a couple days until she's got
things sorted out." She holds the suitcase away from Ryan, smiling, "That's all
right, I can manage."
>Ryan smiles, but says insistantly, "Hey, this's what us muscleheads are for,
right?"
>Ryan . o O ( Warning, warning Will Robinson! )
>Lyrae looks at Ryan. Then smiles again, "Maybe but you two just relax. Besides,
this isn't the least bit heavy."
>Cloud nods. "We need to talk to Kim about... uh, what happened in Wu-Tai."
>Ryan smiles at Lyrae, and says, straight to the point, "Out with it, we both
know you're hiding something."
>Lyrae looks at Cloud, "Then it can wait until she comes back." She looks back
to Ryan, "I'm simply protecting my friend's privacy. SHe specifically said that
I not tell anyone where she's staying."
>Lyrae takes a step back, smiling sweetly, "Now if you'll excuse me, I really
must be off."
>Ryan scoffs. "Bull, girl. Last time you were like this you got involved with
that bitch Esmerelda."
>Lyrae narrows her eyes at Ryan. "...." And turns away, simply walking towards
the door, "You're being ridiculous."
>Cloud . o O ( ... ... ... )
>Ryan says, "Then let me follow and prove me wrong."
>Lyrae quietly says, "I think not. Kim'd be terribly upset with me, and I'm not
going to jeopardize a friendship," she looks over her shoulder as she pushes
open the door, "Because of /your/ paranoia."
>Cloud pulls Ryan aside. "She's right..."
>Ryan scowls at Lyrae, then at Cloud. "Fine, then. But I ain't helping either of
you when you dig your own graves. Again."
>Lyrae smiles brightly at Cloud. "Of course I am." o O ( ... )
>Ryan storms out.
>o
You exit the building, returning to the street.
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.

>Cloud exclaims, "Ryan, wait!"
>Cloud pulls you aside. "Trail her without her seeing you."
>Lyrae steps out of the church.
>Ryan paces across the street, cursing to himself. He blinks. "I'm two steps
ahead of you, spikey." With that, he's gone. Poof.

either gentleman.
>Lyrae leaves east.

You depart to the east.
Intersection: Odin/Heimdall
If not for the fact that you're still walking on streets, you might think that
you were suddenly trekking along a country road. The cityscape definately
widens out along Heimdall road, which acts as the eastern intercept boundary
for many roads, byways, streets, and avenues. Along the eastern side of it,
however, and in most parts of the west of it, the lots are of a lush green
grass, bordered by walls of varying hieght, density, and material. The estates
each boast a sizable manor therein, usually accompanied threplete with a paved
driveway, leading to the Jaguar or Mercedes in the large two door parking
garage.

doesn't see anyone, simply walking north.

Entrance
As you gaze high above before you, you notice a tall building towering high
above you from where you stand. Each floor appears to have one-way windows,
as you can not appear to see inside-- although, they can certainly see out of
them. You notice the building is still newly built, as the windows shine
brightly before you.
The enterance is done with two large blue doorways, which actually appear to
have see-through glass, so you can actually see inside at that very position.
They do not appear to be locked, but they do appear to be closed at this
moment in time. Over top of the enterance, appears to be large writing of
the name of the building, which entitles, "Sensou Enterprises".
There appears to be a few people in trenchcoats walking about inside, whome
also wear buisness suits underneath, with sunglasses upon their heads. There
also appears to be a couple of them walking about within the enterance.
Although, these "people in trenchcoats" do not appear to be too friendly
either, so you may not wish to mess with them. Some of them appear to be
using cel phones, or talking amongst themselves about the building as well,
or inside of it.

>Lyrae looks at one of the guards, "See that no one else enters. I don't trust
Kenny any farther than I can throw him." The guard nods and plants his feet in
front of the door as Lyrae passes through.
>Ryan drops down on the guard from above, planting his feet firmly on his
cranium. "Pardon me, coming through."
>And the ensign guard goes down. Of course the other guards do hear, and
immediately look over as Ryan slips into the building, right after Lyrae does.
>Lyrae walks up towards the doorway, and then pushes the doors open afterwards.
>inside
You walk up towards the doorway, and then you push the doors open after. You
appear to get a few glances from the men within the trenchcoats as you enter as
well.
Lobby (1st Floor)
You look all about you once you enter the room before you, which appears to
be not only the lobby, but also the first floor of the building which you are
currently inside. You look about and notice it is very well decorated, with
a few paintings along the walls which appear to be from an entirely different
world, and are not reconizable for anyone from this world. You also notice
many potted plants all about the sides as well, and near the elevators as
well. Again, the plants also appear to not be entirely native to this world
either, but then not alot with this building does. Something seems odd about
this building.
You look off to the side and notice a counter there, where a female clerk,
and a male clerk, appear to be standing there for whomever wishes to ask any
questions. There also appears to be many men all about within trenchcoats,
which also appear to be wearing buisness suits underneath, with sunglasses
upon them as well.
Within the back of the room, you notice four elevators there waiting for
anyone whome requires use of them, but you mostly just notice employees going
in and out of them for some reason. Maybe most of the floors are locked out
to just employees, perhaps?

>Lyrae turns around, as well as about twenty other guards. "What are you doing
here?"
>Ryan puts his hands on his hips. "Proving my point, girl." He looks around...
great, they're armed... he can get away, but not with Lyrae. "Now where's Kim?"
>Lyrae tilts her head to one side as her eyes lighten to a pale green, her
demeanor shifting slightly, "Point? Silly boy.. you really shouldn't have come
here."
>Ryan blinks. "Awwww maaan... what the hell'd they do to you now?" He
immediately goes into a defensive stance, feet spread, hands forward.
>Lyrae places a hand on her hip, giggling lightly, "That's no concern of yours.
Ryan. But if you really -must- know.. papa just showed me just how MUCH he
cared." She giggles
>Ryan scowls. "I see." Safe to presume there are guards between us?
>Lyrae (OOC) bingo ^_^
>Lyrae blinks .. twice.. and puts a hand to her head, grimacing.
>Ryan immediately crouches down, springing backwards in a flip, kicking off
against the wall with a push forceful enough to carry him next to Lyrae . o O
( Good thing I watched that Vega guy in action... he has some good moves )
>As you move, the guards immediately aim their guns (at least five of them do),
and fire.
>Ryan doesn't seem to care. He's Ryan Tabbot, with beyond-Olympic-levewl speed
and reflexes. If they're yuman, they won't have a prayer to hit him until he
lands... though he'll have to move quick once he does if he doesn't want to get
shot. What's Lyrae doing?
>Lyrae was staring in confusion; however now, she is backing away behind the
firing guards, her eyes glowing a bright green as she suddnely snaps, "DON'T
HURT HIM!"
>Ryan blinks and pauses, just long enough for the guards to do so if they don't
follow orders.
>Lyrae puts a hand to her head, and puts more distance in, "Shoot to maim if you
must." She adds in a hoarse voice, "But -don't- kill him."
>The guards look at Lyrae -.- and then back to Ryan, shrug, and resume firing o
O ( Freak kid. )
>Ryan blinks again. Whatever reprieve he got, it's over now. He IMMEDIATELY
grabs for Lyrae's waist, ducks to avoid the first burst, and repeats his prior
stunt. Too bad he's slower now...
>You GRAB ..and encounter mist..? Yep. Mist. Mist in the form of a girl, who
simply stands, her outline 'looking' down at you.
>The guard nearest the Misted Lyrae however, swings his gun at the back of
Ryan's head.
>Ryan completes his motion then, without Lyrae. Too late now... might as well
escape with information, if not her.
>Apparently the guards haven't figured it out yet. Ryan gets clocked on the back
of the noggin', but a swift reverse kick at that guy's grion should take care
of him. Too bad Ryan just took a bullet in the shoulder... that'll slow him
down.
>The guard goes down, and his partner cries out, "Don't let him escape!" While
another voice snarls, "Let him go." This voice came from Lyrae's direction, as
two guards flank her when she abruptly collapses. The other guards, glare after
the fleeing Ryan, but don't pursue. They have other things to worry about, and
they're certain he won't be returning.
>Ryan runs like his butt's on fire.

You pull the doors open as you walk outside of the lobby, and back outside of
the actual building. A few of the men within trenchcoats look towards you for
a moment as you leave.

Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RA)
The tall stained glass windows of the old building flood the room with a soft
light. Your ears hear every creak and bend as you step across the old wooden
floor. This once joyous place of worship has recently been cleaned,
refurbished, and remodeled into a fine place to live. The floors are dust
free, the pews are in straight lines, and even some of the old wood has been
removed and replaced. Electric lights hanging overhead hum with energy,
glowing at night, thanks to a small white generator located in the corner. A
personal computer is also located in that corner as well, with a sticker on the
side 'Property of Skuld'. A portion of the wooden floor is still broken away,
revealing a patch of wild flowers growing in the center of the room. It's a
cute little addition to the quaint atmosphere here.

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.

"Officially closed, death in the family. Will reopen soon." However, the door

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.

>Cloud looks up. "Ryan?" He stares briefly, then ducks under the bar to grab the
first aid kit before coming towards him.
>Ryan curses a blue streak, still clutching his shoulder. "She went to Sensou..."
>Ryan . o O ( Dammit dammit dammit! I got too cocky back there... that HURT! )
>Cloud comes over with the first aid kid. "What happened?" he says as he opens
the kit, pulling out the bandages...
>Ryan exclaims, wincing, "I got SHOT you id- !" He pauses to recover his senses.
"They got Lyrae under thair control, somehow... and they probably got Kim, too,
now..."
>Cloud pauses. "Shot?" He frowns, then reaches for the tweezers.
>Ryan nods to Cloud, letting him take the bullet out. Ths is not a
do-it-yourself job
>Cloud stuffs a rolled up napkin in Ryan's mouth. "This might hurt."
>Ryan grits his teeth. "Just do it."
>Cloud probes inside the wound with the tweezers. Ouchie.
>Ryan winces, but it seems like he's done this before. Luckily, Cloud probably
knows what he's doing, SOLDIER training and all.
>Cloud extracts the bullets, then stands up, "Be right back."
>Ryan leans back in his chair. He's taken worse, but not recently. "Don't take
to long..."
>Cloud heads over to get a nice small bottle of whiskey.
>Ryan . o O ( Dammit... why does that girl always get caught in stuff like this?
)
>Ryan . o O ( Janus ain't gonna be pleased... but that's HIS problem. )
>Cloud comes back. He starts to pour whiskey onto a cloth napkin, then applies
it to your wound.
>Cloud says a bit late, "This might sting."
>Ryan winces again. "I hate it when I get shot..." He curses again; the bone's
cracked, though not broken through. "I guess my paranoia pays off..."
>Cloud nods, handing you the rest of the bottle. "Here, have a drink." He stands
up. Gonna cauterize the wound. Where's the hot poker rod?
>Ryan takes a long swig. "How the hell we gonna get 'em OUT, now? If Lyrae even
wants to come..."
>Cloud heads into the kitchen.
>Cloud calls out from the kitchen, "Ryan, would you come in here?"
>Ryan stands up, following cloud into the kitchen. "What is it?"
>Cloud says, "We're going to cauterize your wound." He stands in the kitchen,
heating up the tip of his sword atop the stove.
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Hoo-boy." . o O ( Could he find anything a little less
intimidating? )
>Nah, it's not as much fun.
>Ryan waits for Cloud to get it over with. Don't you just have like a cure
materia or something?
>Yes, I do, but this is still more fun. *_*
>Cloud quietly points the sword. "Hold still." The white-hot tip burns...
>Ryan grits his teeth @.o
>Cloud quietly says, "Cure."
>( A nice warm glow surrounds Ryan, healing and sealing the wound. Gee, why
bother with heating the sword? )
>Ryan . o O ( ... He has a sick sense of humor @.-; )
>( So true. )
>Ryan rubs his shoulder. "... Those sure come in handy." . o O ( Even the bone
seems okay now. ) "We'll need to find Derek and Janus."
>Cloud nods quietly, waiting for the sword to cool off before putting it back in
his scabbard. "... What did you mean, control? What did you see?"
>Ryan elaborates, "They were following her orders. She willingly, so to speak,
walked in there."
>Cloud shakes his head. "... What about Kim?"
>Ryan looks directly at Cloud. "They have her already, I'm sure of that."
>Cloud frowns. "... Does this means we're going to have to break in?"
>Ryan says, "Unless you have an appointment."
>Cloud says, "And just how do you expect to get an appointment?"
>Ryan blinks. "That was sarcastic, of COURSE we're breaking in."
>Ryan thinks out loud. "They'll be expecting us, though... and they might not
even be there when we arrive."
>Cloud hmmmmms. "The doors will be guarded."
>Ryan asks, "Who said anything about going in the doors?"
>Cloud smiles just a bit. "Through the sewer system, then?"
>Ryan says, "Or through an upper story window. Sewers sound like the best
option, though." . o O ( Sewer sloshing..? AGAIN!? )
>Cloud asks, "And just how did you expect to get thru an upper story window?"
>Ryan blinks at Cloud. "Climb, of course. The sewer is the better plan, though."
He pauses. "I recommend a wetsuit, though..."
>Cloud says, "... ... ... we'll need to talk with Derek and Janus." He pauses.
"If those two will still talk with each other."
>Ryan says, "They better. If they don't, screw 'em, this is too important... I
just hope Janus can keep calm."
>Cloud nods. "Just the four of us... and Tifa?"
>Ryan says, "Only if she wants to come... I'd rather not have her involved,
though."
>What, no Alhana?
>Cloud's SCARED of 'er now c.c
>Cloud nods. "Alhana too, perhaps."
>Ryan nods. "This ain't gonna be pretty."
>Cloud smiles slightly. What... four against the whole of Sensou? This could be
interesting.
>Ryan grins. He doesn't care about the goon sqaud, as long as he's expecting it.
It's just Kataki, or any of the execs that got him worried...
>Cloud says, "So what do you say is the next step... get blueprints of Sensou?"
Forget Yuffie. She'll make ballocks of scouting. o.o
>Ryan says, "I'd like too, but it probably isn't that simple... I doubt they
keep them at the local library." . o O ( At least, not correct ones. )
>Cloud nods. "What about City Hall?"
>Ryan says, "Worth a shot, but it'd be safe to bet anything valuable isn't
mapped."
>Cloud nods. "Isn't there anyone who can get into Sensou easily...?"
>Ryan scoffs. "Lyrae, apparently."
>Cloud asks, "... Janus?"
>Ryan says, "They don't exactly like him much. Kataki wants him dead, last I
checked."
>Cloud asks, "... Anyone else affilated with Sensou?"
>Ryan says, "There's that Shinayaka guy... and Sat-" He blinks. "... Never mind."
>Cloud asks, "... Shinayaka?"
>Ryan says, "Heard him mentioned before... another defector, apparently."
>Cloud hmmms. "Maybe we should talk to Janus before we talk to Derek."
