> Miki is just a strange young lady with a bad fashion taste sipping tea. 

O.O

> Alys glances at the cloaked figure, and then at the orb. . o O (Wonder 

what that is...?)

> Raisa . o O ( Still nuttin' interesting.   -.- )

> Cloaked Lady hmms..."I suppose you're right.."

> Alys peers at the orb from a distance, trying to see if  there's any 

thing in it at all. . o O (She's probably a fake...o.o)

> Lyrae has arrived.

> Raisa looks up and waves. "Hiiiiii Lyrae!"   ^_^

> Alys takes a step forward to get out of the way of people walking 

in...and to get a better view of the orb.

> Cloaked Lady says, "What a pity...now I really do feel like setting 

something on fire."

> Lyrae steps in quietly, stretching stiff limbs. She blinkblinks and 

looks over to see who addressed her, and pikus, "Raisa, hi!" She smiles 

brightly.

> Lyrae blinks at the cloaked lady. o O ( Her again..the one who said 

Gunter was.. ) She shakes her head slightly and s t r e t c h e s

> Raisa nurses a soda, going back to looking bored.

> Lyrae snifs experimentally and wanders over to Raisa's table, "Mind if I 

join you?" She tucks her aspirin and cough syrup away.

> Alys shakes her head and dismisses the orb as a cheap lighting trick, 

then sits down at an empty table by herself.

> Raisa says, "Of course not!" She blinks. "You caught a cold?"   o.o

> Cloaked Lady snickers at something, and continues her conversation with 

the object.

> Lyrae nods, "Just a li'l bitty one.. I had a nice nap and I'm feeling a 

bit better now though." She tucks herself into the chair, "What's up?"

> Raisa sighs. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing."   ;_;

> Lyrae giggles quietly, "That's too bad. It is kinda quiet.. but see? I 

told you this bar wasn't as um..seedy as most. Last night was .....quite a 

surprise 9.9"

> Raisa sweatdrops. "So ka"   ^^;

> Lyrae quietly says, "You didn't think it was always like that did you?"

> Miki hmms, and goes to the library to try and find something. What, only 

a few know.

> Keiko has left.

> Raisa shrugs. "Only came once, wouldn't know."   o.o

> Lyrae coughs behind a hand, "Well that's true.. but it's not always like 

that. I think that girl was really drunk.  . . though who gave her alcohol is 

beyond me."

> Raisa nods. "That wasn't very nice, getting drunk in a bar like that."   

o.o

> Bolt stands up from his seat, leaning forward a little to address the 

cloaked lady, "It was good seeing you again... but I have another appointment 

to go to..."

> Cloaked Lady nods. "Travel safely."

> Lyrae blinkblinks, "Um. Yeaahh... I don't know who I feel more sorry 

for; Tifa, Alhana, Cloud or that drunkard herself.."

> Raisa snaps her fingers. "Ooooh... Cloud was that poor spikey-haired 

guy, right?? And Tifa and Alhana were the ones beating him up, right?"   ^^

> Bolt turns, heading for the doorway, with a brief nod in general back to 

the lady he was seated with.

> Bolt has left.

> Alys . o O ( People here have weird names...'Cloud...' o.o )

> Lyrae quietly says, "Um, right. Tifa was the brunette and Alhana was the 

redhead."

> Raisa nods. "Gotcha, gotcha. Both violent."   o.o

> Lyrae quietly says, "Um.. well.. I don't know if I'd say -violent- .. I 

mean um.. Well they both seem pretty nice but they were really upset.." She 

rests her chin on her hands, "And to be honest he kinda had it coming.. I mean 

sure he was trying to be polite about it, but..sometimes you just can't do 

things that way.."

> Raisa nods. "Oh..."

> Lyrae snifs, "Hrm. so what've you been doing? Just hanging out?"

> Raisa nods   ;_;

> Raisa . o O ( ... Among other things. )

> Lyrae giggles, then sighs faintly, "It really is too bad there's nothing 

to do :\"

> Lyrae quietly says, "I mean there aren't even any movie theatres around 

or anything.."

> Raisa nods again. "Soooo boring. I mean, even like the library is 

useless."

> Alys looks up, "Library?"

> Raisa scratches her head. "... Well, okay, I haven't actually SEEN it, 

but I heard it was bad."   -.-

> Lyrae pikus at Alys, then looks at Raisa, "There's a library here?"

> Raisa shrugs. "Probably, somewhere."

> Alys curses, . o O (Guess I won't be figuring out how I got here any 

time soon...>.< )
> Lyrae mmfs, "Geez I wonder what the people in charge were 

thinking.. no dance halls, no pool, no theatres.. >.<
> Raisa shrugs

> Lyrae sighs, "Well maybe things will pick up again later on t'nite.."

> Raisa nods   -.-

> Alys asks, "Know where you can get a map of this place?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "So where've you been staying? At ..oh what's it 

called.. Obelisk Tower? Or apartment..or whatever.."

> Lyrae glances at Alys, "Hai, it's at the town hall in the city square.."

> Raisa nods. "Hai, I'm not moved in all the way yet, though."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Yeah? Well if you need any help.." she lets the 

offer hang in mid-air.

> Raisa shakes her head. "I'm all set, really, yup."

> 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.

> [Players : Lyrae, Alys, and Kiwi ]

> [Sleepers: Chrono, Aerith, and Butz ]

> [Things  : None ]

> Alys just nods at that, and stands, walking to the door. "Thanks." She 

then slips out, without saying another word.

> Alys has left.

> Lyrae watches Alys go and looks back at Raisa, "Okay." She flexes her 

fingers, "I feel weird without my lyre..."

> Raisa mindlessly rubs her wrist. "Are they like expensive 'n stuff?"

> Lyrae eh? "Are what expensive.. lyres?"

> Raisa nods   ^_^   "Hey, Lyre, Lyrae, almost kinda the same, y'know?"   

^_^

> Lyrae giggles softly, "Yeah, it's kinda funny."

> Lyrae brushes a hand over her face, "Well.anyways, it really depends on 

who you buy them from, and what they're made of.. some are cheap but others can 

get really pricey."

> Raisa nods. "Oooohhhh...."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Mine was a birthday present.. on my sixteenth 

birthday in fact.. I think it was one of the more expensive ones."

> Raisa nods, then gets a serious expression on her face. Or tries to, but 

it comes off looking silly anyway. "When I see that mean guy again, I'll... 

I'll... kapowie him!"   ;_;

> Lyrae sweatdrops, "Mean guy?"

> Raisa elaborates. "At the fountain."

> Lyrae quietly says, "O-oh him.. well.. I don't think you have to worry 

about that.. supposedly he's dead..."

> Raisa blinks. "Deaaadd?"   o.o;

> Lyrae nods, "Hai, I found out last night. I don't understnad it, I mean 

he said he was leaving..."

> Raisa blinks again. "Omigawd, like, tell me what happened 'n stuff!"

> Lyrae quietly says, "I don't know what happened.. I mentioned his name 

and then some lady said that he was dead.. and on ethe way home I passed some 

charred corpse in the city square..."

> Raisa blanches   ;_;

> Raisa . o O ( Good riddens to that arrogant bastard. )

> Lyrae nods silently, "I ..guess I shouldn't have yelled at him.."

> Raisa nods   ;_;

> Kigou has arrived.

> Lyrae shakes her head, "Well it is a shame .. I wish I knew what 

happened though."

> Kigou bursts in, a wild, panicked look on his face.  "Lyrae!"

> Raisa looks up. "...?"

> Lyrae blinks, looking up sharply, "Kigou-kun? What is it? What's wrong?"

> Kigou rushes over to Lyrae, grabbing for her hand.  "We have to get back 

to the church, quick!  We need your cure materia... Yuffie's was hit by a car."

> Lyrae yerps as her hand gets grabbed and goes pale..wait, she already is 

pale.. she just looks horrified then, "Y..yuffie?!? Oh my god.." She jumps up 

and looks over her shoulder, "Come on Raisa!"

> Raisa gawks, bringing her hands to her mouth, and leaping to her feet to 

follow Lyrae

> You fall in line behind Lyrae. 

> Kigou offers to lead Lyrae.

> Lyrae falls in line behind Kigou. 

> Kigou tugs Lyrae along, racing back for the chuch.

> Kigou has left.

> Lyrae has left.

> Lyrae leaves, with you following after. 


** Walk cut, y'know the drill **

> 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.

> [Exits   : (S)ide door, (B)ack room, and (O)ut ]

> [Players : Lyrae, Kigou(Pup), Yuffie, and Kim ]

> Lyrae arrives, with Raisa following behind. 

> Kigou arrives, with Lyrae following behind. 

> [Sleepers: Derek, Eden, Janus, Shinayaka(Pup), Harlequin, Banpei-kun, 

and Skuld ]

> [Things  : None ]

> Lyrae stumbles along .. heels are not the best thing to run in.

> Kim. o O (I...I don't know if I'm helping her or killing her...I don't 

know what to do.  Yuffie....  Kigou, please hurry!!)

> Lyrae pantpants, being led by Kigou and leading Raisa as she runs in.

> Kim looks up suddenly, falling back from Yuffie's side where she had 

been trying to pump Yuffie's heart, covered in the girl's blood from carrying 

her here.

> ( As Kim places pressure on Yuffie's chest, the frothy mix of red and 

white bubbles forth from the dying shinobi's barely parted lips, a signature of 

severe internally bleeding. )

> Raisa follows several feet behind Lyrae, panting for breath   ;_;

> Kim's eyes shoot open wide as her face goes pale at the sight

> Kigou stumbles as he shoves the doors open.  "Hurry!  The materia!"

> Kim. o O (Oh my god.  Oh my god.  I was killing her!)

> Lyrae goes WHITE at Yuffie's condition.. staring in absolute shock.. o O 

( ... sn..snap out of it! I won't let her die .. ) She runs over to Yuffie and 

skids to a stop, dropping to her knees as she plces her hands over Yuffie,

> Raisa says, "Omigawd omigawd omigawd"

> Lyrae quietly says, "Cure 2.." o O ( Please work please work. . .) She 

whispers under her breath and sends the healing magic over the girl.

> Lyrae . o O ( F..Focus now.. it won't happen...not like last time.. )

> Kigou follows Lyrae, quickly going over the injuries he knew of.  "Two 

broken limbs, interally bleeding, concussion..." He watches the green light 

fall over Yuffie's body, hoping, waiting.  "... please... by Da-Chao, please..."

> Kim is backed up against another pew, looking on the verge of hysterics.

> Raisa just trembles in panic   ;_;

> Lyrae forces herself to shut off the emotional part of herself, as a 

neutral expression settles over her face, watching Yuffie in silence.

> The emerald light envelopes Yuffie's form, the limbs shifting and 

slipping back into place.  The sound of brittle snapping fills the air as the 

bones knit back together.  Then, the young shinobi's chest rises with a deep 

breath, then falls... and stops.

> Kim says, "........."

> Lyrae tilts her head and leans over, listening silently.

> Kigou goes pale, falling to his knees beside Yuffie.  "... come on... 

Da-Chao wouldn't let this happen..."

> Yuffie remains still, deathly still, her skin a pale shade of white.  

Though her body is whole, her chest no longer rises, nor does her heart beat... 

she seems, in all meanings of the word, dead.

> Raisa puts her hands to her mouth. "..."   ;_;

> Lyrae leans back, staring at Yuffie... then shakes her head, "No.." She 

whispers, and catches the girl by the shoulders, shaking her, "Yuffie.. wake 

up.."

> Yuffie is shaken, her head rolling listlessly to the side, limp.

> Lyrae shakes her a little harder, though her voice still lacks an 

emotional quality, "Yu-chan.. Yuffie wake up!"

> Kim hasn't moved since everyone arrived, staring with unblinking eyes at 

the lifeless girl.

> Lyrae shouts, "Damnit WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

> Kigou is kneeling on the ground, his eyes closed as he breaths 

shallowly, seemingly locked in prayer.

> Yuffie remains lifeless as she's shaken roughly by Lyrae, her shouts 

going unheard of by the girl.

> Lyrae pulls Yuffie up into her lap and holds her tightly, her head bowed 

over her silently. o O ( ..too late..again.. )

> Kigou continues to pray, his fingers laced together in a strange 

pattern, held just below his face.

> Lyrae just holds onto poor Yuffie silently, staring at the ground

> Kigou finally ends his prayer, opening his reddened eyes while lowering 

his hands. "...."

> Lyrae quietly says, "....."

> Kigou takes one look at Yuffie's unliving form, then shuts his eyes 

again, shaking his head.  He takes a shuddering breath, then faces Kim, 

standing tall.  "... what happened, exactly...?"

> Lyrae keeps her head bowed over Yuffie, holding her like an oversized 

doll.

> Kim's head slowly turns up to face Kigou, totally pale, eyes wide, wow 

she looks stable.

> Kim says, "....A car...."

> Raisa sits on a pew, halfway in shock

> Kigou keeps his temper in check, wearing a mask of cool calm.  "... how 

did it happen?  Was it a drunk driver?  Why wasn't Yuffie looking out for 

herself?"

> Kim says, ".....it was my fault...."

> Lyrae cradles Yuffie gently, her left hand absently smoothing her hair.

> Kigou clenches his jaws, lips tightening.  "... how so...?"

> Kim says, ".....I made her run.....she didn't see......"

> Kim says, ".....was too fast....." looking away from Kigou, back to 

Yuffie.

> Kigou stares at Kim, silently, his jaws clenching further.  "... what 

did you do to make her run?"

> Kim stops responding now, just staring at Yuffie.

> Kigou raises his voice, his anger showing through a crack in his mask.  

"....  what did you do to make her run?"

> Kim doesn't speak or move.

> Lyrae blinks . . "Yuffie.." She looks up, her eyes wide as she suddenly 

stares at the girl.

> Raisa . o O ( Now this is interesting... )

> Lyrae quietly says, "M..m..matte..s..she's not dead.."

> Kigou pauses, turning to Lyrae.  "N-nani?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "(OOC) Is there a hospital around here? I don't 

remember seeing one >.> 
> Kim says, "WHat?!" shooting forward, putting herself next to Lyrae, in front
 of Yuffie

> Lyrae quietly says, "She's ...barely alive.. comatose..."

> Lyrae quietly says, "I can still feel her.."

> Kim says, "Yuffie.....Yuffie come back."

> Lyrae brushes her hand over Yuffie's face, "But barely.." She bites her 

lip, "I wish this materia worked better on her.."

> Kim says, "Barely's enough."

> Kim says, "That means there's still hope."

> Kigou looks down at Yuffie's body, letting out a breath of relief, his 

anger fleeing... but only slightly.  "... how can we help her?"

> Lyrae keeps Yuffie cradled in her arms, "....I don't know."

> Kim asks, "What if we had more materia?"

> Lyrae asks, "More materia?"

> Kigou glances at the sack clipped to his belt, then at Eden's sleeping 

form, then at his sister. "...."

> Kim says, "I..I don't know...I'm just guessing."

> Lyrae quietly says, "I wish there /was/ a materia that could bring her 

out of this.."

> Kigou pauses for a moment, drawing a finger along his chin as he thinks. 

"... are you sure about that?"

> Kim looks up at Kigou

> Kim asks, "WHat do you mean?"

> Kigou sighs, furrowing his brow.  ".. I recall studying on a certain 

materia that might be able to help... but it may be only a myth." He shakes his 

head slightly.  "... I'm not eve sure if it's possible to find summon materia 

anymore, let alone the one we would need."

> Lyrae loks at Kigou silently.

> Kim jumps to her feet, "I don't care if it's a children's fairy tale, if 

it's a possibility we have to investigate it."

> Soreth steps into the building off the street.

> Soreth has arrived.

> Yuffie is lying limp in Lyrae's arms, her skin deathly pale.

> Kim is covered in blood on her arms and shirt.

> Soreth pokes his head cautiously in the door, having been attacked a few 

times before when entering a church, and also mindful that something that isn't 

his business might be going on.

> Lyrae looks over her shoulder silently at Soreth, and speaks hoarsely, 

"...Yes?"

> Kim says, "Tell me, Kigou."

> Kigou nods, quickly.  "You're right... we'll have to ask others to see 

if they know about it as well."  He stops, trying to remember.  "... I'm not 

sure on the exact name, but the myth spoke of a bird of fire, which could 

revive those who were at the very brink of death..."

> Soreth blinks at the apparent carnage.

> Kim asks, "....how do we go about finding it?"

> Raisa listens intently... though she seems to be almost in shock herself

> Soreth asks, "What in the name of the Lordsss...?"

> Lyrae looks at Soreth, "..our friend was hit by a car.." she answers 

quietly.

> Soreth blinks. "I'm sorry..."

> Kigou sighs, shoulders slumping.  "... that's just it... I don't 

know..." He glances at Yuffie's body, then speaks again, remembering.  "Wait... 

I do remember another passage.  Something about the materia being forged by the 

ashes of a dying phoenix..."

> Soreth. o O ( I could offer to help... but would they be offended? )

> Kim asks, "The legendary bird?"

> Lyrae nods at Soreth in acknowledgement, "..So am I.."

> Soreth closes his eyes and examines Yuffie's Pattern... (OOC: getting a 

reading on how badly injured)

> Kigou nods, slightly.  "... I believe so..."

> Kim says, "...we'd better get started."

> Raisa . o O ( This is an interesting arrival... )

> Yuffie is barely what you can even describe as alive.  Her mind is shut 

down, as is her body, but there is a residual life force left, which clings to 

the mortal realm.  Effectively, it's a coma, like Lyrae says. ;)

> And it's enough to keep Kim out of living vegetable state.

> Soreth. o O ( Damn. I can't do much for her like that.... They may also 

try to kill me if I attempt anythign with magik... )

> Soreth clears his throat. "..."

> Kigou nods, wearily.  "Where can we begin?  ... I can't return to 

Wu-Tai, though they may have some information... if they find out about 

Yuffie's condition..." He trails off, going pale.

> Lyrae glances at Soreth.

> Kim asks, "What if I go?"

> Soreth says, extremely queitly, "I may be able to help..."

> Kim snaps her head over to Soreth

> Lyrae asks, "Help?"

> Kigou blinks, looking surprised.  "... you?  But how?"  He follows Kim's 

gaze, looking at Soreth.

> Soreth asks, "Do you have any.... objectionssss to magik?"

> Soreth. o O ( Specifically, the kind practiced by otherwordly snakes? )

> Lyrae asks, "What kind of magic?"

> Lyrae looks at her materia silently.

> Soreth hisses, "I think.... I can help ssstrengthen your friend's 

Pattern..."

> Lyrae asks, "How?"

> Soreth hisses, "I do not think that you have the time to lisssten to a 

full explanation."

> Soreth hisses, "Ssssuffice to sssay, I can help with no ssside 

effectsss.."

> Lyrae quietly says, "We have only your word on that."

> Kim says, "....."

> Kigou eyes the snake person, inquisitively.  ".... will it revive her 

fully, or just buy us time...?"

> Lyrae looks back down at Yuffie silently. "....." Then at Kigou and Kim.

> Soreth hisses, "Correct. All I can give you isss my word."

> Soreth hisses, "Even were I a Lord, I could not revive her. But I can 

buy you time. Much time, posssssibly."

> Kim says, ".....even if we could find the materia she may be dead by 

time we do.....if we can lengthen her life....I think we should take that 

chance....."

> Soreth sits silently, waiting for the decision.

> Kigou nods, quickly.  "... you hhave my acceptance, as her brother."

> Soreth nods and slithers forwards.

> Raisa sits quietly, almost blending into the background amidst all this 

chaos

> Lyrae holds Yuffie silently as she watches Soreth approach.

> Soreth opens his wings slowly, partly wrapping Yuffie in them, quite 

gently.

> Lyrae simply watches, silent.

> Soreth concentrates, weaving, strengthening some lines... partly 

clearing a few foci.

> Kigou watches closely, his arms crossed while he wears a severe 

expression on his face.

> Soreth begins to transfer a very small portion of life energy, keeping 

it severly controlled and focused. Any with the gift to do so may see it as a 

slight shimmering in the air.

> Kim stares at Soreth, her hands clenches tightly at her sides.  Her 

expression is one of strength, in solid control of her emotions.   Quite a 

polar opposite from a few moments ago.

> Soreth furls his wings back, gently lowering Yuffie. He blinks several 

times, shaking his head from side to side. "There. I have done what I can."

> Kim asks, "Is she stable?"

> Yuffie's body seems to be breathing now, though not strong, but at least 

it's somewhat detectable.

> Soreth hisses, "Yesss..."

> Kim nods

> Soreth searches Yuffie's Pattern, looking for any evidence of a mistake, 

or....other.

> Lyrae shifts her grip on Yuffie, getting ready to pick her up.

> Soreth nods. "Yesss."

> Kim says, "Lyrae, put her in the bedroom."

> Lyrae gives Kim a 'where else would I put her?' look and gets to her 

feet with the shinobi.

> Lyrae offers to lead Yuffie.

> Lyrae stops leading you. 

> Yuffie falls in line behind Lyrae. 

> Lyrae leaves the room through the side door.

> Lyrae has left.

> Yuffie has left.

> Lyrae leaves, with Yuffie following behind her. 

> Soreth sighs and sags to one side.

> Kim looks at Soreth, "Thank you..."

> Soreth hisses, "You are welcome..."

> Kigou nods in thanks to Soreth as well, keeping it non-verbal.

> A little green ball of light falls to the ground from behind Soreth and 

rolls over to Kim's feet. It coalesces into a small green gem.

> Kim blinks, looking down, picking up the gem.

> Kim asks, "What is this?"

> Soreth hisses, "There... hold that and ask for help if you need it."

> Kim asks, "A communicator?"

> Soreth hisses, "Somewhat. It will only work oncssse, I warn you."

> Kim nods

> Kim says, "I understand."

> Soreth shakes his head from side to side again. "I mussst rest now. Fare 

well."

> Soreth has left.

> Raisa sits quietly. "..."

> Kim looks back at Kigou.

> Kigou returns Kim's gaze, remaining silent . o O (  .... if I find that 

you caused this... )

> Lyrae comes out of the side door.

> Lyrae has arrived.

> Kim looks over to Lyrae

> Lyrae closes the door quietly and sighs, leaning against it with her 

eyes closed.

> Kim looks down

> Kim says, "Kigou, let's not waste time."

> Kigou nods, firmly.  "Let's go... maybe one of your friends may know of 

the materia."

> Kim says, "...."

> Kim nods, "Yes.  I know who to ask."

> Kim leaves, with Kigou following behind Kim. 

> Lyrae makes herself semi comfortable on one of the pews and will wait. 

Nothing else to do really.

> Raisa waits a moment, until everyone leaves. "... Your friends, Hai?"

> Lyrae blinkblinks and looks over, "Hai.."

> Raisa asks, innocently, "Kim, right? I saw Yuffie last night... who was 

the snake?"   o.o

> Lyrae quietly says, "Kim, hai.. the snake? Actually I don't know who 

that is.. he wasn't one of my friends."

> Raisa oohhhh's. "So, like, tell me, what was your family life like?" 

Odd, how she's asking questions like this, after seeing all that.

> Lyrae blinks a little, "...Why?" She looks puzzled.

> Raisa smiles. "Because I waannnnt to know!" She beams. "And like, what 

you've been doing since you got here too, you're soooo interesting..."   ^_^

> Lyrae quietly says, "Eh?" she sweatdrops and blushes slightly, "I.. I'm 

not that interesting really. I just get by."

> Raisa pleads, "Teeellll me."   o.o   Oddly, it wasn't phrased in the 

form of a question...

> Raisa . o O ( ... Is the drug still working? )

> Lyrae asks, "What do you want to know first?"

> Raisa beams. "Like, that Cloud guy, who got beat up? What's he up to?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "I don't think he's up to anything. He just watches 

the bar for Tifa sometimes. Though after what happened last night, he's 

probably going to try to make amends with them."

> Raisa . o O ( ... Boooorrrriiinnnnggg )

> Lyrae pikus.

> Raisa rests her head on her hands. "And, like, what about that lady 

Belldandy? Haven't seen her yet, but I heard her mentioned before."   ^_^

> Lyrae hrmms, "Dunno, I haven't seen her since that night we went up to 

Sensou. She said she was gonna be right behind us. She must have come back real 

late."

> Raisa oooohh's. "Right behind? How?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "Well when we were leaving she said she had to do 

something and would be right behind us.."

> Raisa hmms. "Oh well, that's good."   ^_^

> Lyrae pikus, "Um, yeah."

> Raisa leans back in her pew   . o O ( Hmmph, she barely knows 

ANYTHING... this's getting me nowhere... )

> Lyrae sighs faintly.

> Raisa asks, coyly, "... Do you have any other family here?"   ^_^

> Lyrae quietly says, "My brother Janus is here with me."

> Lyrae doesn't say a word about her mom and dad however >.>;

> Raisa asks, "Janus? What a funny name. What's he up to?"

> Lyrae hrms, wrinkling her brow in thought, "Is it a funny name?" She 

shakes her head, "The last I heard...he said something about a plan for getting 

'mom' out of Sensou.."

> Raisa blinks. "Oh! That's interesting! Did he say how?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "He didn't give me specific details.. I don't think 

even he knows all the details. Um. I know Sato Amai, the scientist who 

defected, is going to help out, and he's going to use Shinayaka as a 

distraction.." She frowns.

> Raisa asks, "Oohhhhh... Shinayaka?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "Shinayaka is a ..a.. I forget what he's called.. 

he's kinda like ..made of rubber.. he's one of my friends from the company. He 

came here with me when we left Sensou that night because he doesn't like it 

there anymore."

> Raisa nods. "Those Sensou guys must be really mean."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Not -all- of them, but yeah.. there are a lot of 

people there who have no hearts."

> Raisa comments, "I'd hate to meet one of THEM." Giggle    ^_^

> Lyrae quietly says, "You and me both. I've had more interaction with 

them than I care to."

> Raisa says, "Hai."

> Lyrae grins quietly, "Oh.. do you want anything to drink?" o O ( Kami 

knows I could use something.. )

> Raisa blinks. "Hai! What do you have?"   ^_^

> Lyrae asks, "Um.. tea?"

> Raisa says, "That's fine."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Okay." She gets up and walks towards the back of 

the room.

> Lyrae checks the heat on the kettle, setting it on to boil, "Uhm.. 

ginseng, green tea..mint..camomile?.."

> Raisa hmms. "Green tea."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Okay."

> Lyrae preps the cup for green tea and clasps her wrist behind her back, 

bouncing anxiously on her toes o O ( Keep busy and you won't cry, keep busy and 

you won't cry... )

> Raisa . o O ( I don't remember reading about that Yuffie girl in my 

report... I guess I don't need to be concerned about her yet. )

> Lyrae snatches up the kettle the minute it starts to whistle and pours 

two cups of tea, her hands shaking slightly, "..Tea's ready." She picks up the 

cups and walks back over to where you're sitting.

> Raisa smiles. "Arigato!"

> Lyrae quietly says, "You're welcome." she sits.. well more likely kinda 

gracefully collapses.. in her pew, taking a sip. "How is it?"

> Vega steps into the building off the street.

> Vega has arrived.

> Vega sets his hand against the door, knocking softly twice.

> Raisa idly comments, "Sheesh, you'd think a big old abandoned church 

would keep people away..."

> Lyrae jumpst oher feet, and looks over at Vega, "Hai?.."

> Lyrae blinks at Raisa and grins a bit.

> Vega looks at the woman within. "I beg your pardon. But I believe my cat 

may have come through here? I saw a picture on a flyer of her?"

> Lyrae blinks, "Ano... what does she look like?"

> Felicia comes out of the side door.

> Kitty walks in from the side room.

> Lyrae glances over at the feline, leaning against the pew with a cup of 

tea in hand.

> Vega smiles, letting his fingers motion slightly. "She's white. All 

over. Rather vocal..does a great deal of meowing. Green eyes. And a cap of dark 

fur?"

> Kitty pads in quietly looking around.

> Kitty notices Vega's voice. ^^

> Raisa . o O ( Forget about the cat, who's this guy?   ^_^ )

> Lyrae quietly says, "Sounds like the cat we found.."

> Lyrae glances over at Kitty, "Is that her?"

> Kitty further into the room. (About time....what took him?)

> Vega looks over at the cat, then smiles. "Yews, I believe so." He bends 

smoothly at the knees, holding out his arm. The other, you notice, is bound 

against his body in a splint, or a sling. "Come here then."

> Lyrae blinks, "Ano.. you're hurt?"

> Kitty glances up to Lyrae...than pads over to Vega meowing. ^^

> Vega looks to Lyrae, then smiles at her. "It is nothing, Seniorita. A 

scratch, that's being taken care of." He scratches the cat under the chin. "My, 

but you've taken good care of her."

> Kitty purrs at the scratching.

> Raisa just watches the exchange quietly.

> Lyrae quietly says, "...Well she really is a sweet animal.."

> Lyrae quietly says, "You're very lucky to have her."

> Vega nods, looking up and smiling at Lyrae. "You've kept good care of 

her. I thank you for it."

> Lyrae smiles quietly, "Ano.. if I may ask... what's your name?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "Oh..and it was no trouble"

> Vega smiles, setting his hand to his chest and half-bowing. "I am Vega 

La Selda."

> Lyrae smiles back graciusly, "Lyrae Sensou.." She indicates Raisa with a 

free hand, "That's my friend, Raisa.."

> Raisa smiles at the two

> Lyrae bites her lip and fidgets a second, glancing into her teacup, 

"Um.. I..I was wondering..."

> Vega nods to Lyrae, then to Raisa. "A pleasure to meet the both of you." 

He scoops his arm under the cat, carefully lifting her. "But I should get her 

back to the house, and get a proper name tag on her." He hms? and looks at 

Lyrae. "Yes?"

> Lyrae blushes faintly, a bit embarrased to ask.. "W..Well.. I was 

wondering if .. maybe we could come by and see her sometime...?"

> Kitty mewos as she's lifted up and glances over to Lyrae.

> Lyrae glances over towards the bedroom o O ( Just don't think about 

it... )

> Vega smiles. "I'm certain something could be arranged for that." he 

says. "When I am not busy at the Dojo and at home, maybe."

> Lyrae nods quietly, "Oh..hai I didn't mean to ..well intrude on 

anything."

> Raisa smiles at Vega and the kyuute kitty    n.n

> Vega smiles and shakes his head. "It is no trouble, really." He shifts 

the cat and nods at them. "As I said, I'm certain something can be worked out."

> Kitty mewos and nuzzles her head against his chest. ^^

> Lyrae nodnods quietly. "...Oh.. I forgot something.."

> Lyrae sets her teacup down and runs towards the minifridge.

> Vega hmms? He looks at the leaving girl, shifting the cat slightly to a 

more comfortable spot for both.

> Lyrae kneels and takes out a little wrapped package, then walks back to 

Vega and Kitty, "I'd gotten this a little while ago for her.. here, you can 

give itto her for her dinner. She really likes salmon, it seems.."

> Raisa comments, "Finicky cat." She smiles.

> Lyrae giggles quietly.

> Kim steps into the building off the street.

> Kim arrives, with Kigou following behind. 

> Vega nods, taking the package and carefully transferring it to his slung 

hand. "I will remember that."  he says, chuckling. "She always has had rich 

appetites."

> Kim looks back at Kigou

> Lyrae smiles weakly, "Hai.. but she's worth it.." She looks up and 

swallows, "Kim.. we found Kitty's owner."

> Kim blinks, looking at Lyrae

> Kim asks, "What?"

> Lyrae asks, "Rather, he found us... did you have any luck..?"

> Kim says, "....sort of."

> Lyrae asks, "Nani?"

> Kim glances at Vega

> Kim pikus

> Kim. o O (Hey, I know him.)

> Kigou glances at Vega, silently.

> Raisa sits quietly, a slight smile on her face.

> Vega nods at the people, each in turn. "I thank you for taking such good 

care of her." he repeats. "But I should soon be bring her back to the house." 

His right arm is bound against his body, in either a brace, or a sling.

> Kim nods

> Kim says, "We were happy to do it, sir."

> Lyrae nods, "Hai.. so long kitty. . sayonara Vega-san." she waves her 

free hand.

> Felicia falls in line behind Vega. 

> Kim says, "Byebye, Kitty.  Be good."

> Vega bows slightly to Lyrae. "I'll make sure there's time for you to 

visit her." He smiles and turns to head out the door.

> Kitty starts sniffing at the package of salmon. ^^

> Lyrae quietly says, "Arigatou.."

> Kigou waves a greeting, vaguely remembering the feline.

> Kitty mewos and her tail sways behind her happily.

> Vega leaves the building, stepping outside.

> Kim. o O (......this night sucks.....)

> Kim looks at Kigou again, "Kigou.  When should we begin?"

> Kigou looks at Kim, as if sizing her up.  "... first, how are you at 

stealth?"

> Kim says, "I've had limited practice in the field."

> Kim says, "But I'm no rookie to it"

> Kigou nods, slightly.  "... show me what you can do so far..."

> Lyrae clasps her hands in her lap, silent.

> Raisa just listens. "..."

> Kim blinks

> Kim asks, "How?"

> Kigou says, "... show me how silently you can move.  You need to be able 

to get over almost any obstical without a disturbance... the grounds 

surrounding Wu-Tai are littered with broken leaves, simulating a minor alarm 

system..."

> Kim nods

> Kim turns and begins to walk across the wooden floor, causing a creak on 

the first step. >.<
> Kigou seems to remain calm, except for that wee sweatdrop.  "...."

> Raisa smiles, slightly

> Kim says, "I'm not used to doing this on varying surfaces."

> Kigou nods, then glances at Lyrae.  "... do you have any old bulbs?  Or 

new ones, if no old burnt ones are available?"

> Kim blinks

> Kim asks, "bulbs?"

> Lyrae gets up without a word and walks over towards a box.

> Kigou remains silent, seeming to ignore Kim's question while waiting for 

the light bulbs.

> Lyrae rummages about and gathers up about five bulbs, walking back 

towards Kigou, "Here."

> Kigou takes the bulbs, then crushes them, before scattering the broken 

bits across the floor of the church in a thick line.  "... you must cross 

that... without making a noise..."

> Lyrae meeps o.o

> Kim o.o;

> Kim. o O (This is going to hurt.)

> Lyrae looks at Kim. "...'"

> Kim takes a deep breath

> Kim. o O (I just...need to be light on by feet.  Don't support all my 

weight on them....)

> Kim. o O (...great...)

> Kigou watches carefully, his arms crossed. [ooc: Back by the way. :D ]

> Kim puts one foot out on the smashed glass, slowly rising off of her 

other, and quickly swinging it around in front into the glass as well, 

freezing.  As she stands, her eyes shut, she amazingly doesn't make a single 

crack.

> Kigou actually feels impressed, but doesn't allow it to show.

> Lyrae pikus quietly.

> Kim *gulps*

> Raisa watches quite intently

> Kim raises her back foot to take another step, going very slowly...too 

slowly, as too much weight is left on her front foot, which goes down on the 

glass *crackshatter*

> Kim winces, biting her lip.

> Lyrae winces.

> Kigou sighs, shaking his head.  "... you'll have to keep trying... most 

of the ninjas posted as guards around Wu-Tai are trained to have sensitive 

ears..."

> Kim nods

> Kim says, "I won't give up."

> Kim brings  her foot down on the glass, removing her other from the 

shattered spot, placing it in front.  Again, no cracks.

> Kigou nods, silently.

> Kim steps again, faster this time to bring her foot down.  The technique 

seems to work as no shattering is heard.

> Kim steps again and again, moving across the glass in silence.  You can 

tell though, despite her doing it right, she's very nervous, trying not to 

shake.

> Raisa . o O ( I wonder how long it takes before she tears her foot open? 

)

> Lyrae places a hand on her bracelet silently.

> Glad you mentioned it, Raisa. ;)  This *might* be painful if you step 

wrong. c.c

> Kim takes step after step, moving awkwardly, but silently forward.

> Lyrae watches intently. A bit nervously too.

> Kim's luck doesn't last forever though, as a wrong footing upon the 

glass sends her foot slipping, and her falling backwards.  Luckily, she manages 

to catch herself with a hand, but ooh, that crunching glass sound.  That can't 

be comfortable.

> Raisa doesn't comment, showing only the typical interest of a person 

watching someone walk on broken glass

> Lyrae winces sympathetically

> Kigou's expression remains cold.  "... keep trying..."

> Kim nods

> Kim says, "Yes, sir..."

> Lyrae quietly says, "....."

> Kim gets back to her feet, brushing the glass off of her palm, and 

picking a piece of two out, but she trys to hide that from view.

> Kim begins to walk again, varying from silence to shatter, but for the 

most part manages to stay quiet.

> Lyrae winces at each shattering noise.

> Kim is obviously improving as she moves back and forth along the short 

path.

> Kigou continues to watch this as time passes, until finally, he deems 

Kim fit to sneak past the dried leaves littering Wu-Tai.  "... okay, that's 

enough... we'll start on the next part after a small break."  He steps forward 

to clean up the broken light bulbs, leaning over and scooping them into his 

hand, slowly.

> Kim falls foward off the glass, thumping onto the floor, "Thank you." @.@

> Kim. o O (My feet hurt)

> Lyrae gets up and walks over towards Kim, offering her bracelet outwards 

in silent questioning

> Kim blinks at Lyrae, looking at the bracelet

> Kim says, "..."

> Kim shakes her head

> Kim says, "No thank you, Lyrae."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Okay.."

> Kim smiles, "Gotta be strong."

> Kigou dumps the bits into a nearby trash receptacle, then glances at 

Kim.  "... what about your fighting skills?"

> Kim says, "Those...are actually fairly well developed thanks to 

Esmerelda."

> Kim says, "But only if I'm near water."

> Raisa raises an eyebrow

> Lyrae quietly says, "..."

> Kigou frowns slightly.  "... how so?"

> Kim says, "I can use it to my advantage...."

> Kigou crosses his arms again.  "Well, there is a large stream running 

through Wu-Tai..."  He pauses, then speaks again.  "Can you show me how?"

> Kim says, "....."

> Kim glances towards Lyrae

> Lyrae glances at Kim.

> Raptor steps into the building off the street.

> Raptor has arrived.

> Kim looks back at Kigou, "Can you get me a drink?"

> Kigou blinks at the question, then nods.  "... okay... what do you want? 

 A glass of water?" He almost grins.

> Zabel walks in quietly... puffing on a cigarette as he looks around with 

an inspecting smirk.

> Lyrae glances towards the incoming, and gets to her feet silently. "No 

smoking in hre please."

> Kim nods, "Of course."

> Kim glances towards the new arrival.

> Kim asks, "Can we help you?"

> Lyrae . o O ( Big fellah. )

> Raisa lies back on a pew, looking moderately bored...

> Kigou walks off, entering the kitchen for a moment.  When he returns, he 

holds out a glass of water for Kim.

> Kim takes the glass, nodding thanks to Kigou before looking back at the 

very...big..man.

> Zabel hmms...  then flicks the cigarette out and mashes it with his 

boot, "Terribly sorry, luv...  I forgot where I was.  Heh..."

> Kim says, "No littering either, sir."

> Lyrae sweatdrops, nodding silently at the apology, then again at Kim's 

comment

> Zabel hmphs...  booting at the nic-stick until its a poweder on the 

floor, "Picky and prude... just as I thought in a church.  Anyways...  either 

of you fillies got a bit of sancuary for a travelling fella?"

> Kim o.o; glancing at Lyrae

ra ponder ...

> Raisa . o O ( ... )

> Lyrae arches an eyebrow slightly at Zabel. "To one who defiles a church, 

I am afraid not sir. Perhaps you should look into a hotel."

> Kim looks back to Zabel.

> Zabel hmms curiously at the woman in black, "Well you sure as hell are 

not a nun...  though I guess modern ways give forth to modern customs."  He 

looks around a bit, "...  I'll just borrow a hole out back."

> Kim. o O (I suppose we don't own the cemetary)

> Lyrae quietly says, "I'm afraid that is private property."

> Kim blinks at Lyrae

> Kim. o O (Hm.  I guess we do.

> Zabel smirks a bit, "Ohhh, I see...  so the church now casts out 

travellers and considers hollow ground private in a city such as this?  What is 

the world coming to...."  He snickers a bit at the thought and turns towards 

the door, "...  I doubt you'll even notice I'm there, anyways."

> Lyrae chews on her lip. o O ( I hate to be rude to someone who is in 

need.. but )

> Lyrae quietly says, "It's not quite a church, sir. But our home."

> Raisa watches quite quietly... almost blending into the background...

> Kigou takes a step forward, his expression cold.  "Please Sir, leave.  

We are training for something important, upon which the life of my sister, and 

their friend, hangs in the balance.  Please do not interfere."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Regardless, you are correct.. provided you don't 

cause trouble. There really isn't any room here I'm afraid."

> Zabel flicks out another cigarette, "Plenty of room in the dug holes out 

back...  but you refused me.  I'm a simple man.. am I not picky?"  He looks 

over his shoulder at the group... then at Kigou, "...  don't start, boy....  I 

can tolerate the sting of a woman but hostility of a man in a sancuary such as 

this is quite a sacrelige."

> Lyrae waves a hand at Kigou, and walks over to Zabel, looking up, up at 

him, "Hmm."

> Lyrae asks, "What kind of person would actually want to sleep in a 

cemetary, I wonder?"

> Zabel turns around to face Lyrae as he brings his hands intwards and 

opens his coat to reveal absolutely no pockets save for a coat one with his 

pack of cigarettes, "A poor one... one that travels... who cannot find enough 

work for a room this late a night... and is desperate for a place to rest.  Any 

more questions?  Feels like the inquisition, luv.."

> Kim says, "Hey, if you wanna sleep in dirt, go right ahead."

> Lyrae sighs softly, "My apologies sir. I mean no offense, but.." She 

looks over her shoulder briefly, and back up to Zabel, "We have a habit of 

attracting trouble, or trouble makers, and I wouldn't want you to get caught in 

the crossfire."

> Kim crosses her arms

> Zabel hmms and turns, taking Kim's words as a more than pleasant 

invitation on his part, "Well I can see why with such attitudes and 

inspection...  people come to churches for reason y'know.. not to be run off by 

'training' and 'lack of space'.  Or even the way they look...  God judges... 

isnt that right?"

> Kim says, "This place was abandoned as a church long before we found it"

> Zabel hmmms, "That's nice...  so you are the one's trespassing on God's 

ground.  Then I'll ask Him for permission to sleep here... good evenin' 

aussie... gents.."

> Lyrae sighs softly, feeling her headache coming back, "Sir, I apologize 

for my rudeness, and any other rudeness presented to you, however we have all 

had a trying night, and our patience is less than what it would be. If you wish 

to rest for one night, sleep as youwill."

> Lyrae smiles wryly, "And this is our property in truth. I bought it 

several weeks ago."

> Raisa says, "..."

> Kim looks at Lyrae o.o

> Kim. o O (We own it?)

> Kim scratches her head

> Kim. o O (I never get told anything.) 9.9;;;

> Kim ^_^;

> Lyrae bows gracefully, "I'm rarely one to turn someone in need away, and 

I don't wish to continue arguing .."

> When'd Kim turn into Ryan?

> Kim says, "Aug!  Nooo! @_@ (ooc)"

> When she fell into  the Ryannichuan. c.c

> Hah!

> Kim grins :> (ooc)

> Zabel lights his new cigarette and puffs a bit, "Mmm.. nice catch... a 

church, that is.  Though I'm sure you'll be damned to hell for purchasing holy 

ground... as well as the one who sold it; but, no matter.  Now is the time of 

us Darkstalkers..."  He turns and grins... botting the door open behind him as 

he waves, ".. rest in peace lovlies..."

> Lyrae quietly says, "Pleasant evening to you as well. Sir."

> Kim blinks

> Kim. o O (Darkstalkers?)

> Lyrae quietly says, "And I'm already damned to hell."

> Raptor leaves the building, stepping outside.

> Raptor has left.

> Kim raises her hand . o O (Me too)

> Kigou blinks at Lyrae, curiously.  "... nani?"

> Raisa says, "Unusual fellow."

> Lyrae pulls the door shut and sighs, rubbing her forehead, "Nothing 

Kigou-kun. Dono't mind me." she walks down the path towards the kitchen, "My 

headache's coming back.."

> Kim says, "The pills are in your room, Lyrae."

> Kigou nods, then turns back to Kim.  "... well?"

> Lyrae shakes her head, "I took them with me when I went out this 

evening."

> Kim says, "Ah"

> Kim says, "You shouldn't be going out if you're ill you know."

> Lyrae quietly says, "I was feeling well enough to."

> Kim smiles

> Kim says, "My medication worked. n.n"

> Kim says, "I am a success as a nurse."

> Lyrae coughs, "Yeah." *snif*

> Kim says, "Hey, I'm still new at it." ^_^;

> Lyrae chuckles.

> Kim looks back at Kigou

> Kim says, "Alright."

> Raisa just... watches. With a smirk.

> Kim puts one hand on her hip, holding the glass out with the other hand.

> Lyrae steps back out with her glass of water

> The glass shakes a bit, the water sloshing about, which may seem odd to 

some since Kim's hand isn't moving.  The water extends out of the glass, 

defying known laws of physics, growing and forming into a human sized hand, 

which extends to Kigou, "Shake?"

> Kigou blinks at the hand, then reaches out to shake it.  "... is the the 

extent of your abilities?"

> Kim says, "Hardly"

> Lyrae quietly says, "...."

> Kim says, "It's just a demonstration."

> Lyrae sits in her pew and sighs faintly.

> Kim says, "I can manipulate water."

> Kim says, "And when submerged in it, I can synchronize with it."

> Raisa listens quietly...

> Kigou blinks, then nods.  "Well... you might gain an element of surprise 

with that.  Show me any combative techniques you can use with water..."

> Kim shakes her head

> Kim says, "Not in here."

> Raisa . o O ( ... I wasn't informed of this. Not in detail. )

> The hand retreats back to the glass.

> Kim says, "I can't create it out of thin air.  It has to be present for 

me to work with it."

> Kigou nods.  "Well... what can you do *without* the aid of water?"

> Kim says, "I wouldn't attack inside my home anyway unless it was under 

seige."

> Kim says, "Not much, really."

> Kim says, "I'm not a fighter.  I wasn't raised as one."

> Kim says, "My training has been very limited."

> Kigou sighs, shaking his head.  "... we might have to come up with a 

disguise for you... if you apply as a student, you may be able to get past the 

first series of guard patrols."

> Lyrae gets to her feet, "I'm going to put this away.."

> Kim blinks, "Apply?"

> Lyrae pardons herself, stepping into the bedroom.

> Lyrae leaves the room through the side door.

> Lyrae has left.

> Kigou nods.  "We'll have to forge you a quick application... it 

shouldn't be too hard..."

> Kim says, "Now I'm going undercover...."

> Kigou does grin at that, nodding.  "... just like a real shinobi..." ;)

> Kim says, "Heh."

> Kim says, "Whatever it takes."

> Kigou waves you over as he gets out a sheet of paper.  "... best we 

start your application... I have only a few connections I can use within 

Wu-Tai, but I'll be able to get this in so you'll be able to pass the guards..."

> Kim nods, walking over to Kigou.

> Kim asks, "Do I get a uniform?"

> Kigou shakes his head.  "No, but for now, anything that vaguely 

resembles a shinobi outfit would suffice..."

> Kim says, "darn.  I don't think my skirt counts."

> Kigou almost laughs.  "I'd suggest baggy black pants, with soft boots 

laced over the cuffs."

> Kim holds up her steel toed black boot, "This ok?"

> Kim says, "I only have blue jeans for pants."

> Kigou blinks, then sweatdrops, finally realizing why you had so much 

trouble at first during the 'glass' training.  "... ah... erm... well, you'd 

make an untraditional shinobi, but I guess that's the same as Yuffie." He nods.

> Kim nods

> Kim asks, "So what's this application need?"

> Kigou hands the paper to Kim. "Well, essentially, your name, family 

name, any significant others, your will, whatever previous training you've had, 

anyone who can vouch for you, and your reasons for applying."  He pauses for a 

moment, then holds out the pen as well.  "I suggest you lie through your teeth."

> Kim says, "Aye aye, sir." taking the pen

> Kim asks, "When do you need this by?"

> Raisa . o O ( 'Your will'? )

> Raisa giggles for no real reason

> Kim looks over at Raisa

> Kim. o O (I forgot she was there.  *blink* That's the girl from the lake)

> Kim asks, "Kigou?"

> Kigou blinks, then ohs, shaking his head as he leaves his thoughts.  

"... within the hour, if you want to enter Wu-Tai tomorrow..."

> Kim nods

> Lyrae comes out of the side door.

> Lyrae has arrived.

> Lyrae walks out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

> Kim looks at the paper, pondering what to write

> Kim says, "When you say will...."

> Kim asks, "Do you mean like...if I die kinda will?"

> Lyrae finishes making the hangover remedy and steps back into bedroom. 

Stubbornly ignoring anything else.

> Lyrae leaves the room through the side door.

> Lyrae has left.

> Kigou pauses... then clears his throat, nodding.

> Kim says, "Greeeat."

> Kim taptaps the pen on her chin

> Raisa just keeps watching. Might get creepy if she wasn't so pleasant.   

^_^

> Kim writes on the paper

> Kim hms

> Kim asks, "How's this look?"

> Kim hands Wu-Tai Application to Kigou.

> Kigou reads it over, making sure that enough of it *isn't* true so that 

the Wu-Tai people won't be able to track Kim if she does succeed.

> Kim puts her hands behind her head

> Raisa yawns, and falls asleep, right on the pew

> Kim glances at Raisa

> Kim. o O (Another house guest)
