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 walks in, sweating nervously. He quickly scans the room >.> <.<
before walking in with a grin.
>Lyrae is leaning over the bar, her arms over her head.
>Ryan blinks. "S... something up?" . o O ( They worried about Yuffie? )
>Lyrae blinks, nearly jumping out of her seat as she looks up sharply and
brushes her hand across her face quickly as she puts a quick smile on,
searching for something to say and coming up with, ".....Good afternoon Ryan."
>Lyrae asks, "up..?"
>Ryan sweatdrops . o O ( THAT was forced. ) and takes a seat.
>Lyrae asks, "...can I get you anything?"
>Ryan hmms. "Just about anything with alcohol will do.'"
>Lyrae reaches a hand back automatically and takes out a bottle of sake. She'd
considered drinking it herself, but changed her mind.
>Lyrae asks, "Will this do..?"
>Cloud has arrived.
>Ryan nods to Lyrae
>Lyrae . o O ( Stay busy and you won't cry.. )
>Cloud tilts his head. "Ryan?" he asks as he descends down the stairs. "...
Lyrae. Derek..." he acknowledges.
>Lyrae leans back and gets a glass, setting that on the counter for Ryan..unless
he chugs it straight from the bottle.
>Ryan ventures to comment. "Yah?"
>Ryan takes it from the bottle, actually.
>Cloud asks, "... are we leaving today?"
>Lyrae looks towards Cloud, and again forces herself to smile cheerfully, "Hello
Cloud.."
>Ryan hmms. "Last I checked." >.> <.<
>Lyrae blinks quietly. o O ( Leaving? Gee, get decked by Alhana and he up and
leaves town.. )
>Cloud inclines his head, returning a faint smile. "Hello... how are you?" He
looks down, studying the floor.
>Oh no, not just decked... o.o
>Lyrae chirps softly, "I'm fine."
>Ryan swigs down the sake. He looks at Lyrae out of the corner of his eyes,
removing the bottle from his lips. "Talk about it, you're obviously upset..."
>Cloud looks up at Lyrae, then nods his head just a bit. "..." Yuffie?
>Lyrae blinkblinks and stifles a nearly hysterical giggle, shaking her head.
"..I should never have left.." she stares at the counter, "I wasn't there.. if
I had been there she wouldn't be in that condition..."
>Ryan frowns. "What're you talking about? How could you stop a car?"
>Derek steps in, "Hey has anyone seen.. Lyrae?"
>Derek mutters something and smacks his forehead with the palm of his hand,
"I've been looking all over for her and she's right here.." 9_9;
>Lyrae covers her face with both hands, choking back another sob, keeping her
voice level as she shakes her head, "No no no.. I mean when they got her back
to the church.. it was just like with my mother.. ...t..the blood was
everywhere a.. if I had -been- there .."
>Cloud says, "..." as he slowly brings a finger up to his lips, nodding over at
Lyrae.
>Ryan goes silent a moment . o O ( Damn... ) "Hey... Hey! Snap out of it. She
isn't gone yet, and even if she is a bit annoying, I'm not about to let any
friend of yours die that easy. Got that? And don't YOU go losing hope!"
>Lyrae leans over the bar, not hearing Derek's entrance as she utters an inhuman
wail, sounding like a dying animal, burying her face against her arms.
>Cloud quietly touches Lyrae's shoulder. "... There may be some hope..."
>Ryan . o O ( Damn, make me wish I got an MD too... )
>Derek heads in a beeline to the bar, sitting down across from Lyrae and leaning
his head down right in front of her, if she'd look up..
>Lyrae clenches her fists futily and takes a few deep breaths, trying to get
herself under control, staring at the counter silently.
>Cloud looks over at Ryan, urging him to say something else.
>Ryan doesn't have time to ponder why he became the figurehead. "Hey, me and
Cloud got a plan..." . o O ( I think. )
>Lyrae sits up after a moment, and brushes her hand over her face again, wiping
away the tears. "Plan?" She GYACKS quietly as she sees Derek there. o O (
When'd he show up? )
>Derek frowns, "Hello to you too.. I was looking for you all morning.." :/
>Lyrae blinks quietly, sighing softly, "..guess I shoulda left a note. Sorry."
>Ryan turns to Cloud. "Tell them . o O ( Me ) about the plan."
>Derek shakes his head, "Well, as long as you're safe.."
>Derek turns around and leans back against the bar, shoving his hands in his
jacket pockets
>Derek . o O ( ..... )
>Cloud mutters to himself, "... although where to find that bird is another
matter."
>Lyrae asks, "Bird?"
>Derek says, "Phoenix.."
>Lyrae blinks.
>Lyrae asks, "Phoenix? You're going with Kim and Kigou?"
page alhana=I think he means it too, as I've seen his char here on fairly
frequently ^_^
>Ryan nods . o O ( We are? =.= )
>Cloud nods quietly. "And Ryan too..."
>Derek blinks, looking at Cloud and Ryan . o O ( They are? Kim did say others
had offered..so I'm not really surprised.. )
>Lyrae rests her chin on one hand, "Kigou said it's in some place called WuTai."
>Ryan blinks . o O ( Don't remember that place, and I've been to countries
that aren't even on maps o.o )
>Cloud looks over at Lyrae, then tilts his head. "..." He brings his head to rub
it, then nods.
>Derek . o O ( If they're going, that'll probably be more than enough to find
one materia... )
>Lyrae asks, "When are you leaving?"
>Ryan cracks his knuckles. "Tonight. And have no fear, I haven't failed on an
expedition yet."
>Derek glances up, "For Yuffie's sake, don't break the streak now then.."
>Ryan says, in a dramatic tone, "I don't intend to."
>Lyrae smiles weakly, "Hai.. good luck on it."
>Cloud says, "..."
>Ryan speaks up. "Hey, uh, you actually got like plane tickets yet?"
>Cloud mumbles, "What we really need is Luck Plus materia..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "What ..... really need ..... Luck ..... materia .. ..
.." to Ryan.
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Speak for yourself."
>Derek hops off the stool and goes over to find some paper and something to
write with..
>Ryan raps his fingers on the bar. "So, do you need me to get tickets or not?"
>Cloud hmmmms, then shakes his head. "... if I'm correct, Kigou will make the
arrangements."
>Lyrae blinks.
>Ryan nods. . o O ( Good, that'll save me a few hundred =.= )
>Cloud rubs his head, then looks over to Lyrae. "Do you know where Kigou is now?"
>Derek sighs and starts to head for the door . o O ( Guess I'll just have to
call mom and dad.. )
>Ryan hmms, and crosses his arms. "... What kind of trouble do you think we'll
run into?" He just assumes there'll be trouble; it's a safe assumption in his
life.
>Lyrae blinks at Derek, then looks at Cloud, "Back at the church.. watching over
Yuffie I think."
>Derek has left.
>Cloud says, "... I have no idea. I've never been to WuTai."
>Lyrae taps her fingers against the bar, looking down as she listens.
>Ryan says, "Well, if they're all like Yuffie and her brother..." o.o
>Lyrae quietly says, "I think they're better.."
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Lyrae quietly says, "...at least that's what the impression I got.."
>Cloud . o O ( ... you hope. o.o )
>Ryan shudders o.o
>Derek has arrived.
>Derek walks back in, hands in his pockets, "....."
>Lyrae blinks and looks up, at Derek
>Cloud is holding his hand to his chin contemplating the... *gulp*... thought of
a village full of Yuffies.
>Ryan hmms . o O ( Well, I probably don't need to bring the blaster... )
>Derek sits down without really looking at anyone, "My folks say they'll see if
they can find any information and pass it along.."
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Folks?"
>Cloud says, "..."
>Derek does look up this time, "Yeah, folks...parents? Mom, Dad? I called them
up.."
>Ryan gives Derek a 'well DUH' look. "I meant, how'd they be able to find info?"
>Cloud asks, "... Derek... I thought your parents were farmers...?"
>Ryan goes back to downing sake straight from the bottle
>Lyrae blinkblinks at Ryan for a minute or two..then turns her attention to
Cloud and Derek.
>Ryan is not as bad a drunk as the ladies are, fortunately o.o
>Derek shakes his head, "My dad's a carpenter, and my mom pretty much knows
everyone in Kalm..they should be able to ask around and find something
out..maybe a rumor, but it could help. Since all of you are leaving for Wutai.."
>Ryan hmms. "Anything's worth a shot."
>Derek . o O ( And -someone's- gotta stay behind and look after things.. Lucky
me.. )
>Ryan . o O ( Lucky Derek... he gets to stay behind with the women o.o )
>Ryan has a one-track mind o.o
>Cloud says, "..."
>Ryan finishes off the bottle (!) , setting it aside. "Well then, better start
to get ready. Cloud, hope you have an idea of what to bring."
>Derek looks at the table . o O ( She's probably still mad at me..and the deal
with Yuffie probably hasn't helped any.. )
>Cloud nods, looking upstairs.
>Lyrae watches the gents making preparations silently.
>Ryan hmms. "I suggest some rope, a pockteknife, a sturdy backpack, rations..."
>Derek suddenly chuckles, "Yeah, Cloud, take a pocketknife, that thing across
your back might not be enough.."
>Lyrae sweatdrops as she looks at Cloud's sword.
>Cloud says, "..."
>Ryan says, seriously, "Hey, I ain't kidding. I'm not talking about weapons
here. A small knife comes in might handy when you need to pry something open,
cutting small objects, that sort of thing."
>Derek seems to be the only one laughing..as per par..
>Lyrae is stifling her giggles, mind you <.<
>Derek sits up, "Ryan, he tried using his sword to cut the handcuffs Yuffie
attached herself to Lyrae with when she first got here.."
>Lyrae SWEATDROPS at the reminder.
>Ryan sweatdrops at that. "..." He looks at Cloud >.>
>Ryan says, "Okay, I'm the designated lockpicker then."
>Derek says, "Nah, just have Cloud slice it in half.."
>Ryan says, "Unless, of course, you're trying not to leave clues of your
presence."
>Lyrae lifts a hand to her mouth and smothers another giggle.
>Cloud says, "..."
>Eden has arrived.
>Ryan crosses his arms. "I've done stuff like this before, trust me..."
>Ryan . o O ( Well... maybe not looking for materia... but close enough =.= )
>Lyrae glances towards the door, lowering her hand again to tap out a soft rhytm
with her fingernails.
>Eden walks in. For once, she isn't in that odd bodysuit of hers.
>l eden
Eden
This girl stands off to one side of the gathering, demurely, not
quite timidly. She is young, no more than 17 or 18, and stands some
157cm(5'2"). Her hair, which falls thick and straight down her back
almost to her knees, is light brown and her distant, guarded eyes are
the blue of faded denim. She has a certain presence, an aura almost,
an impression of helplessness and of stricken innocence. She watches
what is happening around her, looks at the people nearby, but she keeps
a distance from it all, whether physical or metaphorical, seeming
always the outsider.
Eden is currently dressed very simply, in a long-sleeved white T-
shirt, dark grey pants, and simple white canvas shoes. The clothes are
loose-fitting, comfortable-looking, but not so much that they
completely obscure her slim but relatively generous figure, or her
precise grace of movement. She seems a young angel, a point of purity
trapped among shadows.
Carrying:
*** Eden notices you watching ***
>Lyrae quietly says, "Hello Eden.."
>Derek says, "Hey, how can you even be sure that guy's telling the truth? After
all, Phoenix is supposed to just be a legend..you might be searching for
something that doesn't exist anymore."
>Lyrae quietly says, "......"
>Derek says, "But hey, maybe I'm wrong.."
>Lyrae absently reaches up and starts braiding her hair.
>Ryan chuckles. "Hey, trust me, there's a lot more to 'legends' then you think."
>Cloud says, "... ... ..." as he looks over at Eden, and nods, before turning
back to Ryan.
>Ryan . o O ( Like Atlantis... and El Dorado... and that hidden arctic city... )
>Eden says, "Hello."
>Eden walks in and sits.
>Lyrae asks, "Can I get you anything?"
>Eden asks softly, "Yes. Could I have some tea?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "Hai." She turns away to prepare the drink.
>Ryan . o O ( I just hope we don't run into anything wierd on this trip.
Dangerous, I can deal with. But wierd... )
>Cloud nods quietly at Ryan, hesistantly. Then he asks, "... Ryan? I've heard of
most cities on this continent, but WuTai..."
>Lyrae walks over to Eden's table and sets the tea down, glancing over at Derek
briefly.
>Ryan shrugs at Cloud. "Not familiar with it myself. Maybe it's just a small
province somewhere..."
>Eden says, "Thank you." She sips at her tea.
>Lyrae nods at Eden with a faint smile.. then half turns to direct her comment
towards the rest of the room, "I'm going to go check up on Yuffie."
>Cloud reemphasizes. "On this continent."
>Ryan blinks, and nods slowly yo Lyrae. "..."
>Lyrae pulls up her hood and steps out.
>Lyrae frowns and pulls her hood up, concealing her appearance.
>Derek has gone back to looking at the table, his chair turned around so he can
lean forward against the back of it..
>Ryan raises an eyebrow, catching Cloud's meaning now. "..."
>Lyrae has left.
>Derek closes his eyes and mutters something..
>Ryan hmms. "... Better make sure you're prepared then."
>Cloud asks, "... winter clothes?"
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Dunno about that, but a jacket couldn't hurt."
>Eden asks softly, "How cold does it get here?"
>Ryan scratches his had. "A bit below freezing, I believe... haven't been here
long enough to know for sure."
>Risk has arrived.
>Risk arrives, with Pikachu following behind.
>Eden nods. "I will need a jacket next."
>l risk
Risk
This young lady's ...about 20ish. 5'9" tall. And has a tough, developed build,
looking like someone who works out much. Her hair's a soft brown, with darker
highlights. Though cute, it doesn't look like something that's combed every
day. Her bangs are short, but still long enough to bounce infront of her eyes.
The rest of her hair is held back in a length of ruffly pink silk with trailing
ties. Her hair sprouts out from the pony tail, and goes down to about her hip
level. Determined is the best way to describe her eyes at times, but hopeless
at others. They're a saphire blue, and not outlined or accintuated by any
makeup. Though her lips are pink enough sometimes, and her cheeks blushed
enough at other times to give the impression of make up.
She wears a stylish little blue tanktop made from silk, that's tucked into
a pair of flashy green and blue spandex shorts. Over that, to add to her
'tough' look, is a worn black, maybe leather jacket. The jacket has various
straps and buckles on it, and is strapped down about elbow level, exposing her
forearms. It's worn loose in front, letting the corners trail, and the cool
collar cover her neck.
On the back of the jacket, in faded gold outline is a symbol of a small
flame.
She wears fingerless red gloves, with white padded squares on the back,
and heavy duty red boots with white buckles on them, too, making a nice
matching pair.
Carrying:
Heaven Crasher(Pup)
Heaven Crasher
A sword that's almost always in it's sheath. It has a broad, plain curving
cross guard with three bolts at even intervals on it, a Half circle piece of
iron formed in the middle joining the handle, and the blade. The handle is a
thick leather wrapped, 1 foot long length of ...firmness? err. On the end's a
cylindrical little shaped chunk of metal. The whole handle is one fashioned
piece of metal, and the blade is another. When the blade is visible, it's
glowing white, with darker letters spelling across the blade of the weapon
'Neamh a' Milleadh' (gailic). It's a big claymore, basicly. With a three inch
thick blade, that's at least a yard long. The sheath it's usually in is made of
thick brown..well..it's almost leather, but it looks and feels alot harder,
perhaps the hide of some really really tough beast. It's often held over the
owners shoulder with a leather strap.
Carrying:
>Pikachu hops up and down on Risk's shoulder.. waving his arms happily, "Pika
chu!"
>Derek suddenly gets to his feet, shoves his chair in, and storms out the door..
-_-
>Derek has left.
>Cloud says, "..." after Derek.
>Ryan watches Derek storm out. He looks at Cloud. "...?" o.o
>Eden looks to the door, and blinks at Pikachu.
>Cloud says, "..." as he shrugs his shoulders.
>Risk-chan walks in from the outside, making sure to close the door behind her,
and wearing a cat sized electric mouse on her shoulder,"Awesome! We find,
Mouse. Now we see if have good food. n.n", she erks, quickly moving aside to
make way for all the people suddenly rushing out it. o.o;
>Cloud rubs his neck, looking over to Risk. "Is there something I can do for
you?"
>Pikachu pikapikas at Cloud indignantly, at least Cloud can't understand him. ^^
>Ryan exhales. "What's eating him...?"
>Eden says quietly, "Hello, Risk."
>Risk-chan nods at Ryan, then to Cloud,"Eating. ^^ We eating him. Food?"
>Cloud tilts his head back towards Ryan. "... no idea." He pauses, trying to
decipher Risk's words. ..." Huh?"
>Ryan was referring to Derek, but he lets that slide. "Hey, Cloud, I'm heading
home to prepare. Hold the fort."
>Risk-chan does a double take, not having recognized Eden with normal clothes
on, and waves her hand up into the air enthusiasticly yet keeping still enough
to not knock off the kawaii buzz-rat. Feeling it necessary to wave even though
she's not that far away,"GOOD EVENING, Miss Eden!!"
>Cloud nods at Ryan... Then BLINKS at Risk.
>Eden sits back at the loud greeting. o.o
>Ryan . o O ( Somebody needs to eat less sugar )
