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.

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.
Boy, certainly a different combination of clothing for this girl today. Her
snug blue jeans have been cut, turning the left leg into a pair of shorts, and
leaving the right long in that odd style. A sleeveless, small t-shirt is worn
over her upper half, tucked tightly into her pants, accentuating the tiny
exscuse she has for a chest. A black bandana is tied over her forhead, while a
pair of black, steel toed boots are on her feet. A ruby red armlet is worn
around her right arm as well, and her hair is pulled back in a tight ponytail,
her bangs pushed back, totally off her face.
Carrying:
Le'San(Pup), Emerald Armlet, and Midgaard City Map
>Ryan blinks =.=
>Kigou glances at Ryan, then turns back to Mai. "We can go whenever you're
ready." He hands over the boarding pass.
>Ryan crosses his arms. "... What about Cloud?"
>Mai takes the pass, nodding.
>Mai looks at Ryan, "Time is short."
>Ryan nods. "Be nice to have him, but..."
>Mai says, "...."
>Mai asks, "Did you think Cloud was coming too?"
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "That's the impression he gave me." . o O ( I'll
strangle him later =.= )
>Mai looks at Kigou
>Ryan removes his backback, dropping in the floor.
>Mai asks, "Well, Kigou?"
>Mai raises an eyebrow
>Mai looks at Ryan, "So what brings you by?"
>Ryan cracks his knuckles. "Simple. I'm going to help you."
>Mai says, "What? o.o"
>Mai asks, "How?"
>Ryan says, "What do you mean 'how'? o.o I've spend the last 7 years
outrunning mercenaries, dealing with local governments, spending weeks in
caves..."
>Mai asks, "You're sneaking into Wu-Tai too?"
>Ryan smirks. "Of course. Never been there . o O ( Hell, I don't even know
where it is... ) It'll certainly be worth it."
Mai sweatdrops
>Ryan crosses his arms. "Besides... I'm not about to let any of my friends... or
their friends... die that easily."
>Mai sighs
>Mai rubs a hand through her hair
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Hey, I'm Ryan Tabbot, what can go wrong?"
>Thunder rolls outside.
>Ryan =.=
>Ryan . o O ( Et tu, God? )
>Lightning flashes
>Ryan . o O ( Maybe I shoulda packed that blaster after all >.< )
>Mai asks, "This isn't a raid, Ryan. You know that, right?"
>Ryan nods. "It's a search mission. And nobody can find wierd junk better then
me." ^_^
>Mai asks, "How are you planning on getting into the city?"
>Ryan zips open the backpack, pulling out a hawiian shirt, a pair of sunglasses,
and a camera. "As a tourist!"
>Mai o.o;;;
>Mai hangs her head with a big drop on the back of her head, "We're dead."
>Ryan sweatdrops =.=
>Kigou sweatdrops, then sighs. "... well... actually, we *do* occasionally get
tourists... it's rare, but..."
>Mai says, "I suppose at worst he'll be a distraction. -.-;"
>Ryan says, "..."
>Mai says, "Well..." looking at Kigou
>Ryan . o O ( I'm so unloved ;_; )
>Kigou nods. "He could be useful."
>Ryan sweatdrops. "... Thanks."
>Derek steps into the building off the street.
>Derek arrives, with Lyrae following behind.
>Mai looks up at Derek and Lyrae.
>Ryan stands near the entrance, arms crosses, and a backpack on the floor
>Derek walks in behind Lyrae, closing the door behind him..
>Lyrae wanders in with her wrist clasped behind her back, "Oh good, you're still
here. I thought I'd miss you guys."
>Mai says, "Nope. Just in time."
>Lyrae blinks a couple times.
>Ryan . o O ( Maybe they'll think I'm competent. >.< )
>Not likely.
>You will all suffer.
>Lyrae blinks at Kim for a minute, then smiles.. "Good."
>Lyrae throws a glance towards the bedroom, then looks at Ryan, "Isn't Cloud
supposed to be going with you?"
>Mai asks, "When did he volunteer himself anyway?"
>Ryan says, "That's what I thought too, but he hasn't show up yet..."
>Mai says, "I didn't even know he knew we were going."
>Ryan . o O ( He's probably fleeing from Alhana and Tifa <.< )
>Lyrae quietly says, "I wonder what could have happened."
>Derek walks up beside Lyrae, glancing over at Ryan, "Well, if you run into
trouble, give a call if you can.."
>Janus has connected.
>Cloud steps into the building off the street.
>Cloud has arrived.
>Cloud hurries in with a knapsack, prepared for a journey.
** Kim idles and diconnects for a while, a whole BUNCH of OOC crap cut. To do
something during the wait, Ryan and Cloud head to the bar. **
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.

>Raptor has arrived.
>Chrono has left.
>Zabel quietly walks inside... nibbling a bit on his cigarette as he walks to
the bar, "Evenin' gents... any news for the day?"
>Haruka has arrived.
>Haruka enters silently, her eyes scanning the room before falling on Usagi
>Usagi hurries over to a table and sits down.
>Zabel hmms... pulling out his cigarette and flicking it at the two zombiefies
males, "To hell with ya then, mates..." He smiles and turns around to focus on
Usagi and Haruka, "... any of you ladies know of anything interesting going on
this evening?"
>Cloud stands at the side, murmuring to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "Have you talked to Kim yet?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... ..... talked ..... Kim yet .." to Ryan.
>Haruka shakes her head and is impressed that Zabel got the gender correct the
first time
>Usagi sighs and lays her school bag on the ground and half lies on the table
top. =\
>You mumble, "A bit earlier... she seemed surprised when I showed up." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... ..... ..... .. .. .. ..... ..... ..... when I
showed ..... .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "Sorry, I hadn't the chance to tell her yet about you..." to
Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... .. I ..... the chance to tell her ..... .....
..... .. .. .." to Ryan.
>Ryan looks around the room . o O ( Seems like a usual bunch tonight. )
>Usagi pouts and looks like she's about to cry as she whines. "Can someone just
tell me where the arcade is..."
>Haruka slides into the shadows as she leans against the wall, folding her arms
as she lowers her head
>Cloud looks up, from his conversation with Ryan, and shakes his head at Usagi
before turning back to discuss grave matters.
>Katsuo has arrived.
>Zabel glances over at Haruka as she avoids the group... then looks to Usagi and
smiles toothily, "Well... I'm not quite sure if there is an arcade around
here... but do you like music, luv?"
>Katsuo walks in quietly, his arms tucked behind his back.
>Zabel's gaze looks to Katsuo as he nods in a faint greeting.. turning his
attentions back to Usagi.
>Usagi sits up still pouting. (Everyone is going to be worried about where I
am...) She looks over toward Zabel as she replys, "Yes...I like music..." She
starts to look away from him again...stops...her eyebrow twitching and she
looks back at him quickly. o O "Gesh! You're awfully tall!! And pale...and your
eyes are..." o O (Erp....ummm just pick up your bag and leave...)
>Usagi reachs down for her bag and starts to stand. o O;
>Katsuo quickly sweeps his gaze across the room, hoping to spot a potential
client.
>Ryan digs through his backpack, pulling out a handheld GPS system. "..."
>Zabel slips his coat off and heavily drops it across a nearby table. He pulls
a chair out and grins at the young girl, "Hey hey... its not like your taking
me home to show your mother or anything. Strangers come in all shapes 'n'
sizes, doll..." He sits down quietly and pulls his guitar from his back.
>Cloud mumbles, "What is that?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "What is that .." to Ryan.
>Haruka continues to stands in a shadowy corner of the room, her eyes fixed on
Usagi
>Usagi reminds standing...lifting her bag to hug to her chest as she stares at
him. "My name isn't doll."
>Katsuo glances over at the sound of a girl's voice, freezing up for a moment.
He chokes, breath cutting off... then quickly backpedals to the far side of the
room.
>Cloud briefly winces at the sight of Usagi. Too similar to the other girl from
a couple nights ago.
>Zabel leans back in his chair and positioning his guitar gently in his hands as
he smirks at Usagi, "... oh, I see. Well a pleasure, than, Usagi... the
name's Zabel and I'm a musician. Didn't you ever learn most of us artsy types
are weird anyways?" He snickers softly... gently plucking out a couple cords
and getting warmed up.
>Haruka glances at KAtsuo as he enters, shifting her eyes from him to Usagi
>Ryan fiddles with the gadget . o O ( According to this, I'm in Antarctica...
=.= )
>Katsuo has his back pressed up against a wall as he struggles for a breath, his
phobia in full control. He shuts his eyes tightly, doing his best to calm
himself while his facial tattoos glint, for a moment.
>Usagi says, "Well....I guess so...but I've never met a musician before. So I
really won't know."
>A light bulb somewhere in the room goes out, fizzing.
>Ryan looks down as his devices fizzles and pops o.o "Eeeek! 500$ down the
tubes!" ;_;
>Haruka flicks Katsuo's card back to him, it lands at his feet.
>Ryan shakes the now broken thing. "Because *rattle* Kim had some business to
attend to..."
>Zabel chuckles softly, "Well, well... must be a first to everything then, I
suppose." He leans back in the chair... the wood creaking a bit as he begins a
slow, soft tune, "Don't worry... I don't bite. Its not polite."
>Katsuo finally calms himself to some extent, then blinks, looking down at the
card at his feet. He leans over to pick it up, glancing over at Haruka
curiously. "... did you d-drop this?" . o O ( Stupid stutter. >.< Damn all
women! o_o )
>Haruka shakes her head as she murmurs softly, "Just returning it to you."
>Usagi looks away from Zabel to take note of all others in the room...
>Ryan looks at Haruka, then Usagi =.o . o O ( Aren't they underage? )
>Cloud mumbles, "What is it?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "What is ..... .." to Ryan.
>Ryan blinks and looks up. "Hmm?"
>Cloud follows Ryan's gaze...
>Ryan shakes the expensive electronics some more o.-;
>Zabel hits a couple hard, minor chords... lacing the soft, meloncholy tune with
a couple hard moments.
>Katsuo hides the card in his cloak, then slowly walks over to Haruka, obviously
taking the farthest route from Usagi. "... ah... wh-why?"
>Usagi watchs Cloud and Ryan as they look at her. o O She looks back blushing.
(Dreamy..)
>Haruka says, "Because I don't need it now..."
>Usagi ^_^ (And they were looking at me too...) *beam*
>Cloud . o O ( Uh oh... she's behaving like Minako... )
>Ryan stuffs it back in his backpack. "!@*!... Maybe my compass still works"
o.-;
>Katsuo's facial tattoos glint again, for a moment.
>Some anonymous patron suddenly spills his drink on accident, cursing.
>Ryan's compass goes wacko. He pulls his hair >.<
>Zabel yawns softly and continues playing... plucking at the metallic strings as
the quiet melody buzzes around him, "Boring.. boring night. I've gotta find
something fun to do..."
>Katsuo whispers, "Is your equipment going hay-wire just cause, or are you
playing with Katsuo's bad-luck aura? ^_^" to you.
>Cloud blinks, turning back to Ryan, removing his nervous gaze from Usagi. "Let
me see it..."
>You whisper, "Well, the compass is because of your aura. The GPS system was
just junk n.-" to Katsuo.
>Haruka sighs as she shakes her head (Typical...)
>Usagi sorta regains herself...enough that she can do something other than
daydream of her marrying Ryan and Cloud....something like blink. ^_^
>Ryan hands Cloud the compass. It's expensive-looking and rugged, but basically,
a magnet on a stick.
>Katsuo blinks, then nods, too jittery to push any further. "Ok-kay."
Cloud examines the compass...
>Katsuo walks over to the bar, unsteadily. "G-give me something to drink
please..." He glances nervously towards the only 'visibly' female person in
the room, repressing a shudder. >.<
>Usagi lets out a heartful sigh and finally returns to the real world and
watching Zabel for a while.
>Usagi asks, "Are you in a band?"
>Cloud looks towards Ryan, then hands the compass to him... and steps away,
removing himself (and that big metal sword) away from Ryan.
>Katsuo's facial tattoos gleam for a moment...
>Ryan takes the compass back. "Working now..."
>Haruka continues to watch Usagi though her attention seems to fal primarily on
Katsuo and his glinting tattoos
>Zabel's fingers move a bit complicatedly for a moment as he runs down along the
strings and back up them. He glances up at Usagi a little, "I am a band,
luv... well, me and my drummer."
>Ryan blinks . o O ( Waitaminute... the needle's pointing south =.= )
>Katsuo clears his throat again, then gently raps his knuckles across the
bartop. "Hello? O-one drink please... anything, j-just something strong."
>Usagi oohs. "What's the band's name?"
>Ryan shakes the compass before stuffing it back in his backpack. "!^%@!*!("
>Zabel chuckles softly and drags his hands down towards the base of the guitar's
neck... "Hmmm... no name. When you're as good as me... you use your own name."
>Cloud rubs the back of his head, turning to survey the rest of the room. He
crosses his arms, and sigh. Still waiting...
>Zabel grumbles softly, "You don't hear well.. do ya, kid? Zabel..."
>Ryan pulls out a bayonet. "Okay, maybe THIS won't go haywire." o.-
>Cloud says, "... Ryan..."
>Cloud . o O ( Where did he pull that from? )
>Usagi blinks. "Kid...? I'm not a kid..."
>Katsuo sighs, placing his forehead against the bartop. With a grumble, he
suddenly stands and slides over the bar to get himself a drink. >-VV-<
>The backpack has a lot of room.
>Cloud mumbles, "Put that away. We should go see if Kim's back." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "Put that away .. We ..... go see ..... Kim's .....
.." to Ryan.
>Zabel begins play stairway to heaven and grinning in sick glee, "Heh... trust
me.. you're a kid to me, luv."
>Katsuo blinks as he hears the song, the contents of his newly poured cup
sloshing out slightly. o.o;
>Cloud narrows his eyes at Zabel's attitude, making a note to avoid him. He
isn't particularly a fan of that music anyway.
>Usagi =\
>Ryan blinks, and nods to Cloud, sheathing the bayonet in one of the backpack's
pockets. ^_^
>Ryan doesn't think Cloud would like ANY music =.= Well, maybe choir...
>Nah, Cloud would just LOVE kareoke... we *all* know that. ~\o .......... ~\o
>Cloud shakes his head. No time, not with Yuffie dying... He heads out the door
abruptly.
>Cloud has left.
>Usagi pouts crossing her arms and looking away from Zabel.

>Cloud exclaims, "(OOC) SOMEBODY'S SPOOFING MUKKI AND THAT PERSON IS SO DEAD
WHEN I GET MY MITTS ON HIM!!!"
>Mukki gives Cloud a sly wink, rubbing a large hand along his sleek, well-oiled
man skin. "C'mere... lemme give you a free... hey!" Mukki blinks, then pouts,
placing his fists on his hips. "Oh Honey Buns! Come back!" He struts towards
the lavatory.
>Ryan (OOC) Isn't me o.o You're tormented enough by Al and Tif
>Charlie (OOC) kowai o.o
>Ryan stage-whispers to Ki... er, Mai, "What's the plan for when we arrive?"
>Cloud shoves every large object to bar the door, bringing his sword in play.
First thing to peer in gets the choppy choppy.
>Mai says, "...ditch Cloud and his little friend?" =.=;;;
>Ryan looks over his shoulder. "Yes." o.o
>Ryan asks, "Then?"
>A little boy knocks on the door to the men's lavoratory, "Hey mister! I gotta

>GO AWAY!
>"But I really GOTTA!"
>Mai sighs
>Ryan twiddles his thumbs. "... Hoo-kay."

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*inhale* "MOMMEEEEEEE!!!!

>Ryan says, "He can be the distraction."
>The li'l boy beats on the door with tiny fists ;.;

>Which sword? c.c
>Ryan says, "20$"
>The really long one.
>Not specific enough. c.c

and pulls the boy in fast and then *clickclickclicklock*

>Ryan stage-whispers to Mai, "Is he always this popular?"
>Mai says, "First time I've seen him chased by large bodybuilders in pumps.
Maybe he usually does this in private."
>Ryan shrugs o.o
>Cloud says, "(OOC) x.x x.x x.x Why does everyone want to torment me? x.x"

>The Stewardesses are all currently laughing their butts off while watching the

over again, pointing out certain scenes.

>Cloud says, "(OOC) The never-ending story. x.x"
>Mukki's arms open wide to Cloud as he places his legs together and extending
his bottom in his sexiest little pose, awaiting the incoming lad as he's thrown
out of the lavatory. "I'll catch you, honeybuns!"
>Ryan . o O ( Maybe he'd have been better off with Tifa and Alhana. at least
they're women -.-; )
>A voice sounds on the intercom, starting as a giggle before finally steadying
out, slightly. "ETA in... *chuckle*... in... *interrupting sounds of
laughter*... ETA in 1 hour." The message is followed by a series of laughter,
and a playback of the clip. "... because I'm... busy..." Then more laughter,
and silence.
>Charlie (OOC) giggles
>Ryan twiddles his thumbs. o.o . o O ( Good thing I'm packing a .44 )
>Cloud *ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMS off*
>We didn't even get peanuts!
>Mukki blinks, giving his tush the a kawaii wiggle, then straightens up,
crossing his arms. "Oh poo!" His pout is replaced by a broad grin as a
sparkle twinkles in his eye. "Oh! I guess Honey Buns likes to play hard to
get! Mmmmmm!" He claps his hands together, giggling, then makes chase!
>Cloud exclaims, "(OOC) ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"
>A waitress walks out, staggering as she smothers her giggles, "P..peanuts

>Cloud's getting homocidal o.o >.>
>I think that's how Cloud shows his appreciation! The louder the scream, the
happier he is! ^_^
>Cloud fortunately can run faster in boots than Mukki in high-heels. -.-
>Charlie (OOC) ROTFL
>Cloud (OOC) OMNISLASHES EVERYONE! x.x
>Mai mutters, "And it's Cloud rounding the first bend of the deck with Mr.
Personality in a close second closing in fast..."
>Finally, an island begins to show FAR in the horizon, just a tiny dot against
the great blue sea.
>The airship speeds up to make an emergency stop as its Captain began choking on
a bag of peanuts due to severe laughing.
>Mai says, "Are...we there yet?...."
>The airship FINALLY lands. Most all the males have already jumped ship a while
ago, though.
>The stewardess' and the captain..heck the entire staff, are all laughing their

>Cloud has arrived.
>Kim has arrived.
>Ryan disembarks. Quickly.
>Cloud disembarks miles ahead of Ryan.
>The Pagoda lords has arrived.
>Ryan is decked out in full 'tourista' gear. Yup, yup, he blends right in, yup

The Island
It's a big island... tropical, full of monsters and stuff, with Wu-Tai
somewhere on it. c.c
[Exits : none ]
[Players : The Pagoda lords(Pup), Kim, and Cloud ]
[Things : None ]
>Mai walks off separate from Ryan....NOW...they're strangers.
>Ryan sulks ;_;
>Ryan . o O ( Oh well, she's a bit young. Now... where to first? )
>You discover that the air base is smack dab in the center of the island....
there's only three directions to head in. The beach, the jungle, or the
mountains...
>Mai looks around
>Ryan pulls out his compass. It's working now! "Hey... Uh, anyway, where's the
city?"
>Mai reaches into a belt pouch, pulling out a map. -.-
>Mai rolls up the paper, slipping it back into her pouch, as she heads off away
from the landing pad...looks like she's heading for the mountains.
>Woah... they got maps of this place?
>In Kim's pouch :D
>Cloud is long gone.. into the jungle.
>( As Mai trudges through the mountains, she eventually comes across a long,
rickety bridge. Before it, stands a pair of Wu-Tai guards, dressed for the
cool mountain atmosphere. )
>Cloud, on the otherhand, finds himself attacked by a hord of forest chocobos.
o.o;
>Ryan takes pictures ^_^
>Cloud works on capturing a chocobo. o.o
>Mai. o O (My first test)
>Mai tugs her shirt a bit and smiles calmly as she walks towards the guards,
fists clenched at her sides.
>( One of the guards steps forward, the gravel beneath his feet crunching
faintly. "Halt. State your name and purpose for coming here." )
>Ryan follows Mai, about 5 minutes behind, to help avoid suspicion.
>Mai stops, casually, placing her hands on her hips as she looks up at the guard
with a confident smirk, "Korin Mai. I'm here because I'm TRYING to get my butt
to Wu-Tai and apply as a student. Someone seems to have gotten in my way
though."
>Mai says, "If you could sir?" ^_^ smiling sweetly, motioning for him to move
aside.
>The guard glances back at his partner, who in turn nods. He steps aside,
giving a curt nod. "Go along now. We need more good ninjas... and, maybe I'll
check up on you sometime, Miss." He winks. o_o;
>Mai snickers, winking back, "I'll be waiting, cutie." reaching up and tickling
the man's chin as she walks on by.
>Ryan follows after 'Mai', a few minutes later. He stops in front of the guards,
camera at his eye, and takes a picture. *FLASH*
>The guard blinks at Mai, then blushes slightly as he turns to his partner,
wearing a goofy smile. His partner in turn gives him a thumbs up, the two too
smug now to even notice Ryan.
>Mai sets em up...and they knock Ryan right down. ^_^
>Ryan casually walks by, playing idiot well enough to keep from looking
dangerous. A hawiian shirt? Ugh.
>Cloud has left.
>Mai oocly says, "We lose our Cloudy?" >.>
>The vegetation says, "(OOC) He's gone ahead. :) Caught a chocobo, so just rides
it without a need for bridges."
>Another bridge looms in the horizon, this time unguarded. It looks rickety,
almost ready to fall apart.
>Mai. o O (Oh this should be fun)
>Ryan hangs the camera around his neck . o O ( D'oh! I don't wanna get wet
x.x )
>Mai stops at the edge of the bridge, looking out at it.
>The bridge creaks as it sways uneasily.
>Mai sighs
>Mai. o O (Hopefully that stealth stuff really WILL keep me light on me feet)
>Mai wastes no more time, moving out onto the bridge, using her newly gained
skill to scoot quickly over the wood.
>The moment Mai sets a foot on the bridge, then entire then loses its support
and plummets towards the river below!
>Ryan is too far away to help o.o
>Mai O.O!!! "Aaa!" scrambling in the air, grasping at the useless wood as she
plummets down down down....into the river...*splash*
>Ryan gets to the edge of the valley/ravine/whatever now, having heard something
crack and splinter in the distance. How far down is it?
>You've played FF7, ne? ;) Imagine the highest point on the mountain... c.c
>Ryan . o O ( I don't got rope that long! o.o )
>The water below...calming as the ripples from the falling bridge and person
drift away...suddenly begins to bubble and churn, until at amazing a speed, a
pillar of water RISES from the river, stretching up up up, to the other side of
the chasm, with Mai standing on top of it.
>Ryan blinks o.o; . o O ( Oh yeah, she can do that. Good thing I didn't
dive in. )
>Mai hops off of the pillar, brushing herself off, not even wet. -.-
>Kigou would be *so* proud. ;.; "Ah, Grasshoppa', you have done well."
>Mai glances over her shoulder slightly. =.-
>Ryan . o O ( Wait... now how do I get across... =.= Oh yeah! The rope! )
>Suddenly, a large metallic tortoise creature looms up behind Ryan. ^=v=^
>Mai walks onward....as the pillar extends again, creating a dripping bridge
over the chasm.
>Ryan looks over his shoulder. "Great."
>The Adamantite monster lets out a billowing ROAR, then charges the man!
>Mai >.< looking back at the roar o.o
>Mai. o O (Uh oh)
>Ryan jumps away o.o Luckily, he's watched two ninja in recent months... .
o O ( Hooboy )
>Mai. o O (Baka, use the bridge. Get over here.) o.o;
>Ryan . o O ( Plan... plan... Aha! Stand in front of the gorge and make it
charge me! )
>Ryan hmms. Better plan. He runs for the bridge o.o
>The Adamantite turns, roars again, then charges for Ryan once more.
>Ryan runs as fast as he can. Which is pretty fast. Hopefully faster than
turtle-fast. o.o
>Mai snaps her fingers, causing the bridge to collapse under Ryan's feet as he
passes over it.
>The Adamantite falls as it loses its ground, plummeting into the rushing waters
below.
>Ryan . o O ( Well, it was KINDA like my plan o.o )
>Meanwhile, back in Wu-Tai, Cloud knocks out a drunken shinobi.
>Mai phews. -.-; quickly turning around, jogging to get some distance from Ryan.
>Ryan scampers off the bridge, with the turtle thing either on the other side,
or in the gorge. "Interesting willife."
>Finally, after several more bridges and a few more guards, you come across a
large open area, filled with dried, cracked leaves. Beyond that lies the town
walls of Wu-Tai.
>Mai stops at the entrance to the open area.
>Mai says, "...."
>Mai grins
>Mai. o O (Security)
>Mai starts to step forward...then stops...
>Ryan stays some distance behind Kim, as before . o O ( Hmm... broken into
worse. Lets see how my disguise holds up. )
>Mai hms...
>Mai. o O (*visions of her feet shattering the already broken glass*)
>Mai -.- . o O (No room for mistakes this time)
>Mai puts her foot down off the leaves, reaching back for her staff.
>Mai grips it tightly and mmphs! as she pitches it into the air like a
javelin...sending it up up up...and down down down, thudding into the ground,
sticking straight up like a flag pole.
>The staff thuds into the ground, sinking *deep* for some reason, until only a
good foot sticks out.
>Mai grins
>Mai. o O (Well well, quicksand.)
>Mai. o O (Kagou left this part out.)
>Ryan . o O ( Quicksand? I can get across that... if nobody's looking. It'll
take a bit... )
>Mai glances around
>Mai. o O (They must have guards around here...)
>It's not quicksand, but our adventurers don't know that, now do they? ^_~
>That'd be too easy. Luckily, Kim goes first.
>Mai ahems, "Hey!!"
>Mai puts her hands on her hips, looking around.
>Nary a sound. *whistle* Seems no one's around at this time of night... maybe?
>Mai-.-;
>Mai. o O (Okay, Plan B.)
>Mai moves forward, attempting to use her stealth skills to get to her staff.
>Ryan stays back, circling around the outer walls of the city, seeing if there's
any obvious entrances.
>Isn't the wall on the other side of the leaves?
>Back in the chuch, Kigou suddenly sitting up. "I forgot to tell Kim about..."
>Whatever.
>The ground beneath Mai suddenly breaks, the hidden pitfall revealing itself to
the adventurers.
>Back in the chuch, Kigou sighs, sitting back down. "... the new changes Father
mentioned..."
>Or Mai, at least. Once again, Ryan is utterly useless.
>Mai instincts react to the loss of support, pushing off of the shattered
remains of the ground, grasping forward for anything solid. Hey, it's the
staff.
>The staff provides effective support, helping Kim to remain partially above the
pit. However, the contents of the pit prove to be something entirely
unexpected...
>The tired guard blinks, surprised that someone actually fell through for once.
"... um... uh... halt, intruder?" He raises his gun, pointing at Kim.
>Ryan sees Kim fall once again. Showing his impeccable timing, he runs foward,
hoping to do something useful! Odd, the leaves aren't cracking under his steps,
even though he's running
>Ryan . o O ( D'oh, Guard =.= )
>Mai looks down, grasping the pole tightly
>Mai says, "Well THERE you are."
>Mai asks, "I was gonna say, they expect you to wait out here all night for an
escort?"
>The guard blinks, but doesn't lower his gun. "Eh?"
>Ryan hears Kim talking. Talking = not dead. He hangs back.
>Mai says, "The name's Mai. Mai Korin. I'm a new student here." ^_^
>Mai asks, "Now are you gonna lead me inside and introduce me or do you expect
me to just walk in totally rude?"
>Ryan . o O ( ... She's good. )
>The guard blinks, then sighs, lowering his gun. "Damnit, Kid. Don't you know
to take the clear route through the 'Leaf Trap'? He sighs, then opens up a
hidden door within the pit, revealing a network of tunnels. "C'mon, let's
go..."
>Mai says, "Hey, I applied late. I hardly ever read my mail. -_-"
>Kim falls in line behind The Pagoda lords.
>Mai shakes her staff lose, falling into the pit.
>Ryan scratches his head, and looks down the hole. "...?" Any other guards,
obstacles, etc., obvious?
>Just more pit-traps dotting the grounds. Of course, you can always take the
tunnels through the open pit.
>Ryan . o O ( Sounds like a plan. )
>Ryan jumps in, a minute or so after Mai and company have left. Just long enough
to be able to follow... hopefully.
>The Pagoda lords teleports out of the room.
>The Pagoda lords leaves, with you following after.
Wu-Tai
You see nothing special.

>Hey look it's Mukki!
>Ryan O.O;
>Oh, wait, make that Muzzy.
>Ryan O.O;
>Darn.
>Okay, the guard leads Kim to the Training School. ^_^;
>The School Rules are this: Be in by curfew, and make *all* your classes, or be
punished. c.c
>Ryan just kinda... wanders in then. Real sneaky-like.
>Mai says, "Nice place. A real boot camp."
>The guard nods, then turns to leave. "Don't get lost in one of the traps
again, okay?"
>Ryan . o O ( What kinda town is this? o.= )
>Mai heads into her bunk for some rest.
>Ryan hmmphs, and sleeps under a foundation. Whee.
>Ryan . o O ( Why do I always end up like this. Better be treasure here too.
=.= )
>Ryan . o O ( Why didn't Kigou come, anyway? =.= )
>Ee's a chicken.
