> City Square: Fountain

> Nearer to the fountain still, the sound of the softly cascading water 

overcomes most any other noise besides the people sitting and chatting. There 

is a wrought iron barricade about the actual fountain, though it seems to be 

more placed to deter than to prevent climbing in, as anyone of moderate hieght 

could easily scale it. The statue of Odin atop the large fountain dwarfs most 

everything else in the area..as well the seven trees planted in a circle about 

the fountain.

Raisa> There are benches here as well, though of a marble variety rather than 

the wooden ones found farther out in the city square. There also seems to be 

less foot traffic here, apparently because of the lack of commerce. All in all, 

a serene place to enjoy the evening and perhaps meet with friends for a night 

on the town.

> [Exits : (C)ity Square ]

> [Players : Lyrae, and Yuffie ]

> [Sleepers: Alyx, Chrono, Rika, and Seventeen ]

> [Things : None ]


> Lyrae is currently playing a tango beat with her lute, and giggling at 

Yuffie.

> Raisa walks in from the street, yawning quite openly. Whe she sees there 

are other people here, she blushes and takes a seat on one of the benches.

> Yuffie is currently dancing the tango with an invisible partner, 

giggling to herself as her bandana tails bob to the beat. ^_^

> Lyrae giggles, shifting to a waltz..almost hitting a bad note as she 

realizes someone else just came in, and cuts her melody off halfway through as 

she manages a sheepish wave to Raisa.

> Yuffie stumbles into a waltz, then stops as Lyrae cuts the tune, losing 

her balance. x.x

> Lyrae pikupikus at Yuffie o.o;

> Raisa sweatdrops, blushing again. "I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to 

interrupt ^^;"

> Lyrae blushes a bit herself, incredibly embarrassed as she tucks her 

ankles under the bench she's sitting on, "Eh, no worry ne.. ano.. this is a 

public area after all .."

> Raisa smiles. "It was very good music, really, you don't need to 

stop..." ^_^

ra l lyr

> Lyrae

> A soft rustle of clothing draws your attention, and you see before you a 

girl of twenty years of age. Her complexion is pale, with the faintest hint of 

a tan doing little to enhance her looks, making her seem almost ghostly. Her 

black hair is grown long past her hips, having a healthy shine to it. Her eyes 

are an intense emerald color, her chiseled features giving her the appearance 

of a china doll. There is a dull, sad look in her eyes, though she tries to 

hide it more often than not.. at first guess, she seems to be holding herself 

back. Her mouth seems still to be turned into an eternal pout, or is it a 

worried one? She stands at about 5'6" or so, and her frame is slender, her 

curves filling out her figure attractively. Worn snugly on her right wrist you 

see a beautiful gold bracelet resembling golden vines, with a clasp for easy 

removal. On her left arm is a ruby armlet that almost seems to give off a 

reddish glow.

> 

> Her hair, left to cascade down her back gently, is styled freely, with 

the most of it curving around to her left shoulder, her hair falling in front 

of the left half of her face, despite her attempts to keep it in place. Noting 

your glance, she blushes nervously, blinking from behind the curtain of her 

hair. All in all, the effect gives her an almost..coquettish look.. Dressing 

for free movement with a smidge of comfort in mind, her choice of attire is 

still your basic black. A black strapless blouse, covered with a black leather 

jacket that hangs slightly off of her shoulders, covers her upper half, while a 

pair of snug fitting black jeans, matching socks and soft sole shoes complete 

her attire.

> Yuffie pinwheels her arms as she attempts to regain balance, finally 

succeeding after several moments.

> Lyrae blushes again, this time from the compliment as she ducks her 

head, "A..arigatou. It wasn't my best, ..it was just for fun really.."

> Lyrae glances at Yuffie, "Daijyoubu? o.o;"

> Yuffie nods, giving Lyrae a thumbs up. "Hai!" ^^;

> Raisa blinks and goes wide-eyed. "You can do better? How luuuucccckkky! 

I don't have any talents..."

> Lyrae nods at Yuffie and blinks at Raisa, "Ano.." she shakes her head, 

"Everyone has talents.."

> Lyrae smiles shyly at Raisa, "Ano, ..gomen I don't mean to be 

rude..demo.. who are you? I've never seen you around here before.."

> Raisa blushes. "... You're probably right. I did get an 'A' in 

science..." She smiles again. "Oh? My name's Raisa,and I haven't seen you 

around either..."

> Lyrae quietly says, "You're good in science? See? There you go.." she 

giggles, "I always did terribly in that class." she smiles, "Lyrae. This is my 

friend, Yuffie." she indicates the shinobi.

> Yuffie waves. ^_^ "Heya."

> Raisa giggles. A bit of an airhead... "Nice to meet you!" ^_^


** Bumped **


> Raisa sulks. "You didn't have to stop the music..." ;_;

> Lyrae ehs? "Oh, sorry.." She blushes and picks up the melody again.

> Raisa smiles ^_^

> Lyrae taps her foot to the beat as she switches to a different, smiling 

faintly, "Have you been in this city long?"

> Yuffie bobs slightly to the beat, too tired to really dance this time.

> Raisa shakes her head o.o; "A little more then a week. At least they 

give out maps."

> Lyrae giggles at Yuffie, "Ne, why dont' you sit down if you're tired."

> Lyrae blinks at Raisa and nods, "I know, it's really easy to get lost in 

this place @.@"

> Raisa nods o.o;

> Lyrae quietly says, "Mm.. my first day here I ran in circles *n.n* Until 

I got a map at least. Then I ran in circles only on occasion *giggle*"

> Raisa grins ^_^ "Haaaiiii... I heard all these old cities were like 

this, but I didn't expect to see it in practice..."

> Lyrae quietly says, "I wonder how old it is.. a lot of the buildings 

seem so..ancient o.o"

> Raisa says, "Probably REAL old. I heard the Romans built it!" She 

pauses. "... After they kicked the locals out =.="

> Lyrae asks, "Really? You met a historian?"

> Raisa says, "No, my parents made me read about this stupid place a month 

before we moved..."

> Gunter walks in from the city square.

> Gunter quietly walks up... looking around the area.

> Raisa sits, smiling ditzily, on a bench ^_^

> Lyrae quietly says, "Ohhhh, well that's better than me anyway.. I was 

just kinda tossed into this city without a word.. it's kinda fun to learn all 

this stuff though.."

> Lyrae sits on a bench near Raisa's with a lute in her lap.

> Raisa smiles and nods ^_^

> Gunter walks over towards the edge of the fountain.. avoiding the others 

as he begins taking off his boots.

> Raisa blinks O.o

> Raisa . o O ( Eeek! He's stripping! o.o )

> Gunter sits down gently on the edge of the fountain... facing the water 

as he slips his feet into it.

> Lyrae SWEATDROPS

> Lyrae glances at Raisa o.o;

> Yuffie sits down quickly. c.c

> Raisa blinks O.o;

> Raisa says, "Ano... can't you like, wash your feet at home? ^^"

> Gunter blinks a little.. then quietly looks over at Raisa.

> Lyrae whispers softly, "Ano... I really hope that's not what he's doing 

o.o animals drink out of that.."

> Raisa shudders. "Ewwww!"

> Yuffie stands up suddenly, smiling. "I'm gonna go see if Kim's back at 

the church, kay Lyrae?" ^_^

> Gunter hmphs... turning his head... his eyes flaring as he looks at the 

ground silently; the fountain spritzing Raisa with a misty spray.

> Raisa eeks as she gets all wet O.O

> Lyrae shouts, "Okay Yuff-HEY!"

> Lyrae quietly says, "That wasn't nice Gunter."

> Yuffie turns around to face Lyrae, blinking. "What?" o.o

> Lyrae looks at Yuffie, "Oh, sorry.. Not you, I was hey'ing at Gunter."

> Raisa whimpers. "OhmyGAWD, now my clothes are all wet!" ;_;

> Yuffie ohs, then waves. "Kay then. See ya!"

> Lyrae waves

> Lyrae gets up and walks over to Raisa, "Oh goodness..'"

> Gunter chuckles a bit... smiling at Raisa...

> Raisa isn't all THAt wet, but enough to make one uncomfortable ;_; 

"What're YOU laughing at!?"

> Lyrae places a hand against her hip, "You should apologize Gunter."

> Yuffie walks back to the city square.

> Yuffie has left.

> Gunter eeehs, "Go play your lyre..."

> Raisa bidaah's Gunter >.
> Lyrae crosses her arms, "What is your problem? You -used- to be so nice."

> Gunter smirks, "That's none of your damn business..."

> Lyrae hmfs, "Seems matters of the heart change people into real jerks." 

She looks at Raisa, "Have you got a change of clothes?"

> Gunter grits his teeth a bit... growling as he focuses his energies back 

into the water. He causes the water to spray up again... geysering at Lyrae. u.u

> Raisa sulks. "At home..." ;_;

> Lyrae squeaks as she gets drenched, and staggers back over a bench a 

couple of feet.. her poor lute getting soaked.

> Lyrae spits out a fountain of water and sits up again, soggy and 

incredibly unhappy, "You dummy!"

> Raisa stands up, huffing indigantly at Gunter >.Raisa> Lyrae quietly 

> Gunter cackles a bit, smiling, "Dummony?? What kind of an insult is 

that?"

> Lyrae quietly says, "I wouldn't stoop to your level. You're upset over 
something personal so you take it out on people who have nothing to do with it."

> Raisa doesn't know what's going on, but she nods to Lyrae -.-

> Gunter growls again, standing up with clenches fists. His eyes ripple 

with emotional energy.. the water on both Lyrae and Raisa frosting over and 

freezing a little, "Shut up!!!" u.u

> Raisa eeks! o.o

> Lyrae squeaks and shivers, "You ony want me to shut up cuz you know it's 

true!"

> Lyrae . o O ( Cold cold cold.. )

> Raisa exclaims, "You... you... meanie...!"

> Eponine walks in from the city square.

> Eponine has arrived.

> Lyrae is standing near Raisa and shivering, covered with frost, and so 

is Raisa.

> Gunter winces a bit.. trembling a little... he forces the layer of ice 

to freeze a little more; hardening, "Shut up!! You don't know anything!!"

> Raisa eeks again! o.o She grabs for Lyrae's hand, attempting to dra her 

away from this wierdo

> Eponine raises an eyebrow at Lyrae and Raisa...than looks over to Gunter 

as she hears his shouts. o O

> Lyrae brushes at the cold stuff irritably, nodding at Raisa's 

observation, eeking as it gets harder, shivering more, "You'd be surprised what 

I kno-" she eeps as she gets dragged off.

> Gunter swings his fist in anger, jerking it to the side and making the 

ice shatter and burst off of the two, "Screw off!! I'm leaving town anyways... 

you'll never have to deal with me again..."

> Eponine flinchs at the shattering nosie and watches as it rain down 

around the two females...

> Raisa eeks again o.o;

> Lyrae yeeps again at the ice shattering, getting nicked from a few, "Go 

ahead and run from your problems you.. you --" she doesn't even bother 

finishing that sentence, shivering as she gets dragged off.

> Lyrae falls in line behind you. 

> Raisa scuffles off, giving Gunter another bidah as she exits ;P

ra c

> You walk back to the Midgaard Square.

> City Square

> Welcome to the middle of the sleepy (yeah, right), humble mountain city 

of Midgaard. The peaks that surround the somewhat smallish sprawl of 

constructions about you appear a vibrant, cool purple at this distance..capped 

with off-white snow at the tops. Although the town itself recieves little 

precipitation from being sheltered by this atol of sheer rock, a cold wind does 

comb and filter its way through..providing a brisk, though arid, atmosphere.

Raisa> On the southwestern pointing end of town, a small, manmade pass in the 

mountain valley allows for easy access from the bustling world outside. To your 

north and west are the commercial districts..manufacturing, shipping, and 

selling various consumable goods. In the east, to the 'horizon', appear to be 

homes of various architectural influences..the more wealthy of said houses 

bordering a small alpine lake and park. To the south, the middle-class homes 

continue, thinning out just before the open gap to the highway beyond.

Raisa> As for where you stand..it is the Midgaard City Square..Several 

government offices and the larger buildings can be found on the sides of the 

slightly misnomered elliptical, cobblestoned intersection. No actual automobile 

traffic passes here, being routed through the side streets..this is a strictly 

pedestrian and bicycle zone. A large, granite fountain with a statue of Odin 

atop it towers nearly two stories prominantly in the center. There are also 

benches about for taking a quiet repose from the hustle of daily life.

> You depart to the south.

> Tyr Road [100]

> While still home to hotels and apartment buildings like its cousin to 

the north of the city square, the 100 block is less developed, allowing for a 

few more structures of commercial nature to have been installed. Among them are 

the inevitable fast food chains you would find near the off-ramp during any of 

your highway travels. Speaking of which..to your south..the road divides and 

loops about through the gap in the mountains to the highway below..the stepped 

cut-through here is quite a marvel of human feat and engineering.

> Raisa arrives, with Lyrae following behind.

g-guy?"

> Lyrae shivers silently, rubbing her arms, "U..used t-t-to be a 

f-f-friend.. he got his heart b-b-broken and now he's like that.."

> Raisa fishes through her pockets. "M-maybe I have something that will 

let us w-warm up..." o.o; She pulls out a pile of loose change, a wallet, some 

photos, a flashlight...

> Kiwi kwees. o o

> Kiwi looks at the people...

> Lyrae jogs in place, "G-G-Guess it w-w-wasn't such a g-g-great idea t-to 

make him angry.."

> Lyrae blinks at the kwee, "It's that l-little bird..'"

> Kiwi kwees, and looks at the two, rather curiously..and then paddles on 

over.

> Raisa turns on the flashlight, grinning. "T-these get a little hot over 

t-time..." She points the beam in Lyrae's face ^_^

> Lyrae blinks as she gets the flashlight shone in her face, "Eep! Hey!" 

She puts a hand out to block it, "It's not v-very w-warm."

> You whisper, "OOC note: Gotcha. Guess who works with Sensou?" to Lyrae.

> Lyrae erps, wrinkles her nose and sneezes, just as the Kiwi scoots over.

>Lyrae pages, "DOH!!! n.n;" to you.

> Lyrae rubs at her eyes, still shivering. *snif*

> Raisa pulls the flashlight back. "S... sorry." ^^;

> Lyrae blinkblinkblinks a couple times, "That d-didn't help any."

> Raisa sweatdrops. "S... sorry. I guess it's just the bulb that gets 

hot..."

> Lyrae quietly says, "G-Gues so," She giggles quietly.

> Lyrae quietly says, "I kn-know, why don't we go to the b-bar? It's 

w-warm there"

> Raisa says, "I dunno... I don't like b-bars..."

> Lyrae asks, "W-Why n-not?"

> Raisa shrugs. "Well, i guess the bar works ^_^"

> Lyrae shivers, "O-Okay. It's j-just n-north of here *sneeze*"

> Raisa nods, chittering her teeth, turning off the flashlight and putting 

it away.

badly as she half jogs in place.

** Boring walk cut **

> Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room

> Tifa's Seventh Heaven Bar has a campy feeling to it, primarily 

constructed of dark wood with occasional items for decoration. Several worn 

tables grace the area near the door, looking beaten up from years of patrons. 

The bar is more well kept, stocked with a vast amount of alcoholic beverages 

and components for mixed drinks. The room is just a tad dimly lit, feeling cozy 

and familiar at the same time. Other areas of interest are the entrance to the 

kitchen, and a porch with some comfy chairs. All in all, the Seventh Heaven is 

a nice tribute to what someone can put together for a business if they try. A 

machine for a game similar to pinball sits on the less used side of the room, 

sporting an "Out of Order" sign. Most of the damage that was obvious only a 

little while ago is now repaired with more permenant fixes, so the bar once 

again is back to it's former self.

> [Exits : (B)ack Room, (K)itchen, (U)pstairs, and (O)ut ]

> [Players : Tifa, Minako, and Cloud ]

> [Sleepers: Butz ]

> [Things : None ]

> Raisa arrives, with Lyrae following behind. 

> Tifa leans back against the wall next to the stairwell, blinking still. 

She pinches her arm.

> Raisa runs in, Lyrae a short distance behind. "This the place?" ^_^

> Lyrae jogs in behind Raisa, shaking frost from her hair and shivering 

slightly. "This is it."

> Lyrae jogs in place, "Warm warm warm warm warm.."

> Raisa takes a seat, and shivers ^^;

> Cloud says, "... ... ..." as he reddens slightly. "... T-thank you." He 

turns away, greeting the company. "... hello."

> Tifa lets the people who just come in know, she's ICly standing at the 

wall next to the stairway watching Cloud and Minako.

> Lyrae huddles in her jacket, shivering quietly, "H-h-h-hi!"

> Minako reaches over and touches Cloud's cheek...she's VERY obviously 

drunk.

> Cloud hasn't noticed Tifa yet, really. He DOES notice Minako, however, 

which probably is not a good thing.

> Raisa sweatdrops. "H...hai, can I like get a soda?"

> Lyrae glances at Tifa, then over at Cloud and Minako, pausing enough to 

shiver.

> Tifa juuuuuust quietly STARES. She shakes her head a moment, trying NOT 

to look jealous, then erms. "Sure, what kind?" she asks, speaking up

> Cloud nods, moving just the wee bit way out of Minako's reach, taking a 

glass and reaching for the tap thingy... before looking up at Tifa's voice.

> Tifa mentally kicks herself, and bows to Lyrae and Raisa. "You look 

cool, Lyrae-san.."

> Lyrae shakes her head at Tifa, "C..C..Cold! T..T.Tea please."

> Raisa nods at Lyrae. "Some wierd guy f-froze us!" ;_;

> Tifa dashes to go grab some hot tea O.O

> Lyrae nodnodnods, "He r-r-r-ruined my l-lute." ;.;

> Tifa pauses only to CRANK the thermostat.

> Raisa shivers in her shorts and T-shirt ;_;

> Minako awwws as Cloud moves out of her reach, but hiccups and bides her 

time...then smiles and leans over the bar to goose Cloud's butt as he turns to 

operate the tap. ^_^

> Cloud sweatdrops just a bit at the tw... HEY!

> Tifa returns with a nice kettle and two cups.. "Here you go.." she sets 

it down. "Do you want anything else? I turned up the heat.."

> Minako giggles and smiles at Cloud. ^_^

> Raisa . o O ( Ano... they're all drunk! How shameless o.o )


** Bumped **

> Minako cups her chin in her hands and watches Cloud with a VERY 

predatory look now. She hiccups and smiles as she says, "...lemme get ann'oer 

'f thoshe..."

> Lyrae sneezes and nods at Tifa.

> Raisa . o O ( Ano... they're all drunk! o.o )

> Cloud coughs. "Tifa, let me get them?" He smiles at Minako, trying to 

give her the impression that it's not a sign of retreat, even though it is. O.O

> Lyrae . o O ( That girl's toasted o.o )

> Butz has connected.

> Tifa looks at Cloud.. No, she's going to let you dig your own grave, 

after she walked in on that. "Ah, you don't know where I keep them. Sorry, I'll 

be right back." She hurries off without another word, dissapearing upstairs.

> Raisa says, "C-change my order to tea too? ^^;"

> Tifa did bring two cups for a reason o.o

> Lyrae pulls at her shirt, "Ugh." She grips her cup and holds it like a 

life preserver, her hands shaking slightly as she sips the warm beverage.

> Butz looks up from whatever silent sanctuary he was seeking..for however 

many hours it was. o.o; And just watches.

> Lyrae is just sitting at a table, clinging to her previous tea, and 

dripping wet o O ( I hope I don't get a cold. )

> Tifa has left.

> Raisa . o O ( Ano...! This wasn't part of the job! ;_; )

> Minako giggles at Cloud's retreat, and pushes herself somewhat 

unsteadily up to sit on the bar...a little closer to Cloud now than before. ^_^ 

"...fixsh me anno'er drink, handshome? ^_^"

> Alhana has arrived.

> Cloud sweatdrops at Tifa's departure, and... at Minako.

> Lyrae quietly says, "Are you feeling warmer now Raisa?" she sweatdrops 

at Minako o.o O O ( Who gave her alcohol? )

> Lyrae sneezes again.

> Cloud says, "... I think you've had enough."

> Raisa takes tea, and guzzles it down, sighing heartily. Her clothes are 

still wet and cold, though ;_;

> Tifa has arrived.

> Tifa returns with a pile of clothing and several fluffy towels. "You can 

change in the back room.."

> Tifa, like, um, Minako is sitting on the counter. o.o

> Raisa beams. "Thank you!" ^_^

> Tifa is trying not to look in that direction >.Raisa> Lyrae blinks and 

smiles brightly at Tifa, "Thank you." She pushes wet hair out of her face.

> Butz just..sighs..at Minako. e.e . o ( A bit young to be a drunkard. )

> Alhana walks down, her footsteps slowing as she reaches the bottom of 

the stairs. o O ( What in the... )

> Lyrae gets to her feet, wiggling her fingers, "I think I have 

frostbite.."

> Raisa runs over to grab a change of clothes, saying something to Lyrae 

as she passes ^_^

> Lyrae hms?

> Lyrae and Raisa are soaking wet, mind Alhana ^_^

> You whisper, "'Accidentally' spill your tea dear. I want to watch. . o O 

( Lets see if that drug worked )" to Lyrae.

> Cloud quietly reaches to take Minako's glass away from the counter.

> Tifa erms.. "...Let me see?"

> Butz snarfs a fan out of somewhere and fans himself. "..A -wee- bit hot 

in here today." n.n;

> Minako grabs for Cloud's hand, placing it on her knee and smiling. ^_^

> Yes, the room is VERY hot. Tifa has a good heater and the thermostat is 

set at.. 110.

> And the temperature is about to get much much hotter when Tifa and 

Alhana sees this. x.x

> Curiously enough, normal heat doesn't bother the lad. Different kind of 

heat, in this case. c.c

> Raisa is making her exit no thankyouverymuch

> Lyrae hits her hand against her cup, knocking it over and into her lap. 

Luckily it was cooled, "EEP!"

> Tifa has already seen. She saw Minako GOOSE Cloud, oh, yes.

> Raisa stops just befor entering the backroom. "Eeek! Lyrae!" o.o

> Alhana's eyes WIDEN in surprise at the rather direct gesture, just 

before their emerald depths narrow quickly, taking both Cloud and Minako into 

account. Oh yes.. there will be a reckoning.

> Cloud says, "... ... .... ... ... ... ..." and tries to pull his hand 

away. "I have work..."

> Tifa acks.. "Oh dear.."

> Raisa . o O ( ... ^_^ )

> Lyrae jumps to her feet and mops up the tea with a napkin, pushing wet 

hair out of her way, "Sorry!"

> Tifa tries to concentrate on Lyrae, really she does. "Don't worry about 

it! I'll clean up, you go change.. We'll hang your clothing in front of the 

heater when you're done."

> Butz puts the fan away, seriously considering a riot shield in its place.

> Minako hiccups again, rubbing the back of Cloud's hand and keeping it 

pinned (unless he REALLY tries to pull free). She just smiles at Cloud and 

says, "...ishn't a good bartender shupposhed to shpend time with people?"

> Raisa walks into the backroom, humming to herself (OOC but remains here 

to watch the devestation o.o)

> Butz pipes up, "Not really, unless there's a picture of a ladies finger 

beckoning on the sign outside."

> Tifa picks up Lyrae's cup to help clean up.. And it shatters in her 

hand. The sound of ceramic imploding is rather shrill in the room. . o O 

(Spending time with people, hm?)

> Lyrae glances up at Tifa, and focuses on anything but the scene at the 

bar, sweatdropping slightly more, as she sneezes again, "Okay." She meeps, 

"Tifa?!"

> Cloud says, "... ... ... Ah, I'm not a bartender... I... uh, I'm just 

watching the bar for... Tifa."

> Tifa looks down and ACKS O.O "A..Ah, excuse me!" She looks around for a 

towel.

> Lyrae hands Tifa the towel she'd handed her.

> Alhana walks over to the bar, pointedly ignoring (or trying to) Cloud 

and his.. friend. Looking at Tifa, she watches her with a considering look. o O 

( And she's doing nothing about this...? )

> Minako hiccups again, "...you mean you don't work here?"

> Tifa nods thankfully, and goes to removing teacup peices from her hand. 

At least THAT makes it MUCH easier not to pay attention to the bar. The pained 

look on her face isn't due to the teacup, however.

> Raisa walks out of the backroom, now wearing a hideously mismatched 

sweatshirt and sweatpants. "All better!" ^_^

> Tifa. o O ($*( Lyrae sweatdrops at Raisa, "My turn." She drips her way 

into the
> Butz twirls his finger in the air a few times and brings it to 

his lips, casually tossing it to the side. By some odd coincidence, this is in 

Minako's direction. o.o

> Tifa glances back at Cloud, frowning. She doesn't look cheery by ANY 

stretch of the imagination, which is rare.

> Raisa takes her seat again, idly sipping her tea, and beginning to 

wonder why it's getting so hot o.o

> Alhana casts a scathing look towards Cloud, eyes clearly showing her 

displeasure, before turning towards Tifa..

> Alhana mumbles, "..... ..... ..... ..... is ..... tramp ..... there 

anyway .. .. .." to Tifa.

> Tifa allows herself to look disgusted before looking at the floor and 

replying.

> Tifa mumbles, "..... have ..... idea .. She ..... ..... ..... ..... got 

downstairs .. ..... ..... she looks ..... ....." to Alhana.

> Raisa waves a hand. "Ano... what's going on?" ^^

> Cloud says, "(OOC) It was just ONE Pina Colada, I swear. o.o"

> Tifa continues to pick ceramic out of her hand. "...Why don't you ask 

him?"

> Minako opens her mouth to say something...and no sound comes out. She 

blinks, then tries again...still no sound. Frowning, she looks upset for a 

moment, then GRINS and her arms shoot out to GRAB Cloud by the sides of the 

head so she can pull him into a DEEP kiss. ^_^

> Lyrae steps out again, with another sneeze as she starts toweling her 

hair.

> Tifa looks back JUST in time to watch O.O

> Raisa says, "Ano..." o.o

> Cloud o.o o.o as he gets pulled in, like a deer caught in headlights. 

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

> Butz d'ohs. x.x; . o O ( A fat lot of good that did. )

> Lyrae currently has her head bowed and is focused on toweling her hair 

dry. She is -not- looking that way thanks.

> Alhana STARES... another glass she was just picking up hits the floor 

with a resounding crash, which she doesn't seem to hear herself. Watching in 

utter horror which slowly melts to sheer rage, a crimson glow touches her face.

> Raisa sweatdrops. ^^;

> Butz does the air-flicker thing. x.x; (Raise the shields, Mister Scott.)

> Tifa drops the other teacup mere seconds after Alahana drops her glass.

> Lyrae blinks at the sound of glassware breaking o O ( That's never a 

good sign. )

> Minako just does her best to hold Cloud in place and kiss him silly. ^_^

> Butz snaps his fingers, innocently swapping his stool for one a few down 

with a small poof of smoke.

> Raisa puts her hands to her mouth . o O ( This is fun to watch! )

> Tifa doesn't go into a rage, oh no.. She just gets very quiet.. Gravely 

silent.. Ooh, deadly silent. She looks down, then abruptly goes to walk quickly 

out the front door.

> Raisa waves to Lyrae. "Over here!"

> Lyrae *toweltoweltowels* as she walks towards her table. or near there. 

o O ( It's awfully quiet.. did Tifa kill them? )

> Lyrae blinks as she hears Raisa's voice and follows it.

> Cloud manages to disengage himself about a minute after his brain 

processes that this is a very bad thing.

> Alhana, with the typical reactions you may expect from one who trained 

within SOLDIER for a time, snaps out of her trance after several long moments 

of shock. Her reaction is, at best, predictable as, shoulders shaking with 

unsuppressed rage, she walks over to Cloud. In a DEATHLY quiet voice, she 

utters that one name with clear, undisguised hostility. "Cloud....?"

> Raisa stage-whispers to Lyrae, "Are they doing what I THINK They're 

doing?"

> Raisa . o O ( I'm going to like this job ^_^ )

> Lyrae gets a chill up her spine at the tone in Alhana's voice and leans 

over to Raisa, "Ano.." she whispers softly, "I ..think so? I wonder who's idea 

it was to give that girl alcohol.."

> Cloud says, "... ... ..." Oh gods. x.x

> Butz . o O ( Why..does all of this have to happen when I'm awake? o.o )

> Raisa shrugs, apparently unawares of the upcoming apocalypse. n.n

> Minako frowns and grumps a bit as Cloud pulls away, then smiles and gets 

another idea...

> Tifa opens the front door, walks outside in stock silence, and SLAMS it. 

The entire bar reverberates with the sound, and the door is, erm, a little 

lopsided on it's hinges. A picture frame behind the bar falls off of it's hook 

and shatters.

> Tifa has left.

> Alhana asks in an all too deathly quiet voice, "... ... Did you give 

this girl alcohol....?" Not that it matters a great deal one way or the other, 

the price will be paid. All the same, she seems unsurprised and undisturbed by 

Tifa's exit.

> Butz winces. x.x

> Cloud says, "..."

> Lyrae flinches slightly at Tifa's exit, and eases into her chair. 

Then..thinks better of it.

> Lyrae mumbles, "I think maybe we should leave.. it could get bloody o.o" 

to Raisa.

> Lyrae mumbles, "I think ..... ..... ..... ..... .. .. it could get 

bloody o .. o" to Raisa.

> Minako hiccups as she looks about...searching for something...

> You mumble, "But this should be FUN to watch! ^_^" to Lyrae.

> Raisa mumbles, "..... ..... ..... be ..... to ..... .. .. ....." to 

Lyrae.

> Raisa seems sincere ^_^

> Lyrae mumbles, "Fun? I think ALhana's about to kill Cloud. Or at least 

deliver grievous bodily harm. I don't wanna get caught in the crossfire o.o;" 

to Raisa.

> Lyrae mumbles, "Fun .. ..... think ..... ..... ..... kill Cloud .. ..... 

..... least deliver grievous ..... ..... .. I ..... ..... get caught ..... the 

..... o .. o;" to Raisa.

> Alhana's left hand, closing around a nearby glass of one drink or 

another, clenches tightly about it. Taking a deep breath which does absolutely 

nothing to steady her, she flings the contents into Cloud's face.. then, 

immediately afterwards, finding that not nearly satisfactory enough, she 

follows through with a right hook. This deserves considerably more than a 

simple slap. Following that, she turns on her heels and storms out behind 

Tifa.. slamming the door so hard on her own way out, the second time right in a 

row, one of the hinges breaks clear off of the wall.

> You mumble, "But *I* want to watch. Sit quietly." to Lyrae.

> Raisa mumbles, "But ..... ..... to ..... .. Sit ..... .." to Lyrae.

> Butz decides now is a good time to make his exit. He snaps his fingers, 

and a rather curious lance of electricity hops from object to object and out 

the door. A few moments later, it becomes evident he's missing. n.n;

> Alhana has left.

> Raisa frowns for a moment. -.-

> Butz has left.

> Minako smiles as she spots a radio at the end of the bar, sliding down 

to start fiddling with the controls...

> Cloud quietly stand there, with liquid dripping down his face. ...

> Lyrae sits quietly in any case even tho the show's over.

> Cloud slowly falls over. @.@

> Raisa sulks . o O ( They all left ;_; )

> Lyrae eeps and gets to her feet, walking over to Cloud o O ( she's got a 

good arm but........... he kinda had it coming. I mean really.. )

> Minako blinks and hops over the bar and sits on Cloud's chest...looking 

down at him, "...hey...handshome...wake up..."

> Cloud will quietly lie there and contemplate how Death is such a sweet 

thing really.

> Lyrae reaches for the back of Minako's shirt.

> Minako's shirt gets grabbed. She blinks and looks back over at Lyrae...

> Raisa giggles ^^

> Lyrae starts pulling Minako off Cloud, "Haven't you caused enough 

trouble?"

> Minako tries to pull free (though being drunk, her coordination and 

strength are a little on the unreliable side), "...Hey...get your own...I shaw 

him firsht......"

> Lyrae erps and shifts her grip, slipping her arms under Minako's and 

bodily hauling her back and away from Cloud, "Mou, you need to sober up, bad."

> Raisa giggles again ^^

> Lyrae sweatdrops at Raisa

> Raisa says, coyly, to Lyrae "Could you get me some more tea?"

> Butz has arrived.

> Lyrae blinks at Raisa, "Eh?" she blinkblinks, "Hai.. Just a second."

> Lyrae pulls Minako to the far side of the bar and sits her down, "Stay 

there and sober up."

> Raisa beams innocently ^_^

> Marlene has arrived.

> Lyrae walks back to where Cloud's blissfully out cold and tugs him out 

of harms way, where you'd have to pass her to get to him, and puts the water on.

> Minako has connected.

> Derek has arrived.

> Lyrae pulls Minako to the far side of the bar and sits her down, "Stay 

there and sober up."

> Minako has disconnected.

> The kawaii bolt of lightening bounds back to its seat and reforms into 

an eccentric lad. Immediately he plants his forehead on the bar. "...Why me?"

Cloud pages, "Much, scythewoman. *dies*" to Alhana, Alhazad, Harken and you.

> Minako stands back on her rather unsteady feet, "...but I'm perfectly 

SOBER!"

> Derek blinks, "Lyrae, what..?" >_> Raisa> Lyrae pikus at the....kawaii 

bolt of lightning..?

> Raisa just grins happily ^_^

> Lyrae pours the tea for Raisa and looks up at Derek with a smile, her 

hair still soaking wet, and currently in clothing that ain't hers (not in the 

desc). "Ano.. just a little problem..this girl got drunk.."

> Butz sweatdrops. -.-; . o O ( ..NOW I'm scared. )

> Minako loses her balance and drops uncerimoniously on her butt...and 

just sits there and begins to cry, "...he got me drunk...he led me on..."

> Lyrae walks over towards Raisa and sets the tea down, "Ano.. that doesn't 
sound like Cl
> Derek rubs the back of his head, "Uhm..right. Why're you dressed like that?" 
He walks over and gives the back of her top a little tug..

> Lyrae pikumeeps and steps back, "Hey I'm still wet, I'll get you wet 

too." She runs a hand through her damp hair.

> Raisa giggles ^_^

> Minako just keeps bawling...

> Lyrae sweatdrops at Minako.

> Derek looks over at the distraught girl and blinks, looking at Lyrae 

questioningly, "Her?"

> Lyrae nodnods.

> Cloud stays comfortably unconscious.

> Ford teleports into the room.

> Ford has arrived.

> Minako crawls to her feet and stumbles unsteadily over towards the 

unconscious Cloud...

> Ford strolls in, grinning madly. ^_^

> Lyrae plants herself in front of Cloud.

> Derek scratches the back of his head, "Hey, miss? Maybe you should sit 

down, you'd probably feel better."

> Marlene tends bar like a good little eight year old.

> Lyrae anos softly, glancing around for some safe place to put him so the 

drunken looney doesn't get him.

> Raisa giggles every so often ^_^

> Minako falls against Lyrae, grabbing the other woman's shirt to catch 

herself...and going into another fit of bawling...

> Derek just now notices Cloud, "What happened to him?" O_o;

> Ford glances at Cloud. He speaks the one word that comes to his mind, 

"Stoned," then he turns to Minako, "Desperate."

> Lyrae squeaks and catches hold of Minako, sweatdropping slightly, as she 

responds to Derek, "Alhana decked him."

> Derek looks over his shoulder, "Thank you for the expert analysis, 

doctor.." No, no sarcasm there..

> Ford finishes his saunter to his stool and nimbly places his posterior 

on the sitting apparatus. "...So, would-be ladies and gentlemen, what's 

tonight's scenario."

> Raisa says, "The lady there got drunk and hit on the guy. and the guy 

just got hit." ^_^

> Lyrae patpats Minako gently and guides her to a table, "Ne just..sit 

down okay?"

> Minako, in the rather frank and uninhibited manner of the drunk calls 

things like she sees them. She stands up straighter and grabs Lyrae by the 

chest, "...you've got breasts..."

> Marlene scurries up with a glass of milk, handing it to Minako.

> Raisa giggles!

> Marlene meeps, and sets it down NEXT to the occupied Minako then ^^

> Derek blinks. Several times, in fact *O_o*

> Marlene goes to sweeping up all the ceramic and glass on the floor then 

n.n

> Derek exclaims, "O..oy!"

> Lyrae EEEPS and blushes, "A..ano NE!" She tugs at Minako's hands *o.o*

> Obviously this situation is typical to the...stoogie? "Ahh, so in other 

words she copped an 'intoxicating' feel on the young gentleman whom I had to 

show how to make a decent drink the other day, and an envious buffalo 

stampeeded him.

> Minako has about the same inflection in her voice as someone would have 

if they poked thier head outside and said 'it's dark'.

> Derek goes over and gently pulls Minako away and tries guiding her to a 

chair, "Why don't you just take a rest here, okay?" *^_^*

> Lyrae glances over at Raisa, wondering just what's so damn funny *o.o*

> Minako patpats Derek's chest as she lets herself get led away, "...you 

don't have breasts."

> Cloud stays blissfully unconscious.

> Raisa giggles. She seems genuinely amused. It IS kinda funny... to an 

observer... ^_^

> Derek blushes, but quickly recovers and smirks, "Boy, you're a smart 

one, aren't you? I'm not a woman, that's why.."

> Lyrae walks over to Cloud and pikus a bit. *scritch* "Should I bring him 

to his room? o.o;"

> Ford glances around. No reply? Bah. So he decides for the first time 

this month to do something helpful. He hops from his stool and walks over to 

Cloud, setting his satchel down and begins to set up shop.

> Lyrae looks at Ford, "Ano, what are you doing?"

> Marlene has left.

> Minako smiles and nodnods happily at the praise, "I'm a woman. ^_^" She 

reaches down and untucks her shirt, gripping the bottom hem and starts to pull 

it up as she says, "See? I've got breasts!"

> Ford idly dinkers around with a few vials in which he drains into a 

small bowl. He gives Lyrae a scowl, looking offended. "What does it looks like? 

I'm mixing a..." A small boom deafens out the rest of the reply.

> Kim has arrived.

> Kim arrives, with Yuffie following behind. 

> Lyrae blinks at the *boom* "A what?"

> Good. You're just in time to see Minako drunkenly flash the bar.

> Kim walks in with her hands in her pockets, with Yuffie following her.

> Raisa blinks o.o

> Lyrae blinks at Minako's statement and looks up, "EEP!"

> Derek erks and tries stopping Minako, "Th-that's okay! I believe you!" 

***O_O***

> Yuffie's eyes are red and puffy, and her knee is scraped, but she 

doesn't appear to be sad anymore.

> Minako struggles with Derek, trying to pull the shirt up...she's showing 

a lot of midriff, but for the moment, that's all..."...lemme show you..."

> Kim blinks, raising an eyebrow

> Ford glances at the bowl, missing the display of flesh he would've 

simply made a smart remark about anyway. He raises it to Cloud's nose. "...A 

drink."

> Lyrae looks at Minako, "Ara.. Stop that!"

> Lyrae glances at Ford, "What is that?"

> Raisa watches everything with an amused grin ^_^

> Kim asks, "New girlfriend, Derek?"

> Derek gyahs and holds onto Minako's wrists gently, "I said I believe 

you, so stop it!" ***@_@***

> Derek sweatdrops -_-;

> Cloud bolts upright. @.@ GYAH. O.O

> Yuffie blinks at everyone, still sniffling. o.o

> Minako blinks and looks right at Derek, tears welling up in her eyes, 

"...you don't want to see my breasts?"

> Lyrae Meeps and hops backwards at Cloud's quick movement, missing Kim's 

question.

> Lyrae twitches.

> Kim ^_^;

> Kim says, "This is why minors shouldn't drink....."

> Derek...face it...there's no good answer to this...anything you say will 

be used against you.

> Raisa giggles. It's slightly disturbing ^_^

> Ford idly watches Cloud figuratively go from kissing the carpet to 

imbedding his head in the ceiling. "I see you're up bright and early."

> Marlene has arrived.

> Derek turns bright red. He starts to open his mouth to say something, 

closes it, and then says, "I'm sure they're very nice, but I'm going to have to 

say no. Now please pull your shirt back down?" ^^;

> Kazuma has arrived.

> Cloud is trying to clear his nose after ... after... whatever it is that 

Ford did to his sinuses. x.x

> Ford is sitting in front of Cloud, who is now awake. He's holding a 

bottle of something where his head used to be. n.n;

> Yuffie contents herself to ignore most of the strange stuff, looking up 

at Kim and remembering her words . o O ( ... but I don't want to remember... )

> Lyrae pats Cloud on the back lightly, glancing over at Raisa 

incredulously from time to time.

> Kazuma-kun saunters in, looking about at the place. His hands are in his 

pockets, and under his right arm are a few school books.

> Marlene trudges downstairs, walking up to Cloud. She tugs on his pants 

leg.

> Kim is standing there just watching...at least it looks like she is. Her 

stare is pretty blank; like something else is on her mind.

> Minako starts to cry again, "You think I'm UGHLYYYYYY!!!"

> Cloud blinkblinks, looking over at Marlene, not really registering much 

else.

> Kazuma-kun whistles a bit, taking in most of the weirdness as if it were 

second nature, then blinks at Minako.

> Ford hands Cloud a bottle of nostril drops. "..You'll need to take one 

of these every five minutes for the next hour. If you don't, oh well, you'll 

just have to deal without your sense of smell."

> Derek sweatdrops, "I didn't say that.." ^_^;;;

> Marlene says quietly to Cloud, "Tifa-neechan called, she's sick and 

won't be home a while."

> Lyrae SWEATDROPS again and looks over at Kazuma, still a little wet as 

she waves sheepishly..then to Kim and Yuffie as she sees them.

> Cloud says, "... ... ..." as he holds his head. "... thank you Ma... 

wait. Where is she?"

> Derek says, "I just asked that you please not show me your..yuh.. Uhm.."

> Derek *9_9*

> Kim says, "Breasts, Derek."

> Ford then proceeds to down the bottle of whatever it was that made Cloud 

jump up. Finding this seat on the floor comfy, he slouches back and makes 

himself more comfy.

> Minako exclaims, "My BREASTS! You think they're UGHLYYY!!!!!!!"

> Raisa stops laughing now... the jokes getting old. No wait, a chuckle at 

that.

> Kim scratches her head

> Kim. o O (Why did I come here again?)

> Kim. o O (Oh yah.)

> Kim glances back at Yuffie

> Derek twitches, "I was getting to that, Kim.." *x_x*

> Yuffie is smiling straight at Kim's face. ^_^

> Cloud looks quietly down at the bottle he's holding, then over to 

Marlene, before peering at everyone else.

> Marlene hmms at Cloud. "She didn't say." she blinks innocently.

> Kim looks at Derek without changing her expression to Yuffie, "maybe 

next year." *smirk*

> Derek hangs his head . o O ( This isn't my day.. )

> Derek looks over at Kim, one eyebrow arched like 'what did you say?' O_o;

> Yuffie blinks, having not been listening to anything. o.o "Huh?"

> Minako leans forward and bawls into the table...

> Kim smiles innocently. ^_^

> Bolt has arrived.

> Bolt arrives, with Kiwi and Aerith following behind. 

> Kazuma-kun drops his books down on a table with a smirk. . o O ( The 

last time I heard someone shout 'breasts!' that loud...well, I can't remember; 

but I bet I looked. )

> Cloud says, "... did she leave a number, Marlene?" as he turns back 

towards her.

> Derek rubs the back of his neck and pats Minako on the shoulder, "Hey, 

hey, I didn't say anything about being ugly, I just asked that you not pull 

your shirt up!" ^_^;;;

> Ford considers throwing a match in a bottle of gargle-blaster. Sure, 

it'd take out the entire building complex, but he's survived worse..armageddon 

to name one. o.o

> Kim says, "She just wants to show off for you, Derek. n.n"

> Cloaked Lady glances around at everyone from under her hood, and 

snickers. She's amused at something, obviously.

> Marlene nods, then whispers, "I'm not supposed to give it to you."

> Cloud says, "... ... ..."

> Bolt steps into the bar, a few steps ahead of Aerith and the cloaked 

lady. He turns, looking at the two of them, "This is the place," he says 

casually, shrugging just a little as he heads over for a table.

> Cloud sighs slowly, rubbing his head. He looks towards everyone else...

> Raisa sips her tea ^_^

> Marlene holds up the paper she wrote the number on and tears it up 

happily into little confetti ^-^ "I can follow instructions!"

> Cloaked Lady nods, and walks over after him. "Awfully uncultured. All 

the same, if it has good drinks...I'm all for it!"

> Kim looks around the room

> Ford snickers at Marlene. "Cute kid." ^_^

> Lyrae turns her head and sneezes again.

> Aerith glances over at the cloaked lady, a grin spreading across her 

face as if she were pleased at something. She turns that grin upon the unwary 

Bolt, nodding once, "Oh yes, thanks for showing us. Would you like a drink or 

something? It's the least I can do to repay you."

> Kim. o O (Crowded. Reminds me of home now)

> Marlene says, "And she wants Kim-san to watch over the bar? I think it's 

what she said.. But I don't remember."

> Yuffie looks at all the people, the most she's yet seen in one place. o.o

> Kim blinks, hearing her name O.o

> Minako's tears stop on a dime and she smiles up to Derek, "Maybe some 

other time, ne? ^_^" With that, she wraps her arms around him and starts 

cuddling up to him. ^_^

> Kazuma-kun orders a meal and soda, and leans back to watch the 

(interesting) room.

> Kim looks at Marlene and Cloud, "Uh, what?" o.o

> Cloud says, "... ... ..." at Marlene. "Why did you do that?"

> Derek gyaks, "Whaaaaaa???" *@_@*

> Marlene beams! "Because she said if Cloud didn't ask for the number to 

tear it up! And you didn't say please!" ^-^

> Cloaked Lady pulls out a chair, and then turns to Bolt, saying, "I'm not 

used to...these...sort of places. Where's the waiter? Or is this one of those 

self-serve type bars...?"

> Lyrae looks at Minako and Derek and grits her teeth, her fingers digging 

into the counter.

> Derek blinks and pulls his arms free, "Hey, will you stop it?!? Let go, 

you should be resting!" @_@;

> Ford glances at Cloud and tsks quietly. "Sorry kid, looks like your girl 

stepped out on you. How 'bout a game of Ol' Janx Spirit to take your mind off 

things?" n.-

> Cloud says, "... I asked for the number."

> Minako's grip is like iron now...she's not letting go of her cuddlebunny 

for ANYTHING...a crowbar MIGHT pry her off...MAYBE.

> Bolt ehs, looking around, "There was a bartender the other night." He 

replies to both the ladies that addressed him. Then, he looks over, 

carefully... looking for the person that might be on duty, tonight. o.-

> Yuffie looks from Marlene, to Cloud, then to Kim, then keeps her gaze 

there. o.o "Anou, what's going on?" ^_^;

> Kim's eyes slide over to Lyrae, sweatdropping at her expression

> Raisa takes another sip of tea, blending into the background compared to 

these wierdoes n.n

> Lyrae bristles.

> Kazuma-kun. o O ( ...if that girl were any more forward...she'd be 

horizontal. )

> Kim looks at Yuffie, "Apparently, the end of the world....or something." 

o.o;

> The door to the bar is hanging on one hinge, that's where the bartender 

went o.o

> Lyrae is behind the bar right now n.n;;

> Lyrae blinks at Bolt, pulling her gaze from Minako and Derek, "Can I 

help you?"

> Yuffie blinks. o_o "... the Apoclypse?" She looks around, furtively. c.c 

"I don't see that legendary sword anywhere..." She pauses. o.o "Or do you mean 

Ragnorak?" ^^;

> Marlene sticks her tounge out. "Poppa always says when you ask for 

something you say please!"

> Kim says, "Uh...yah.. That one. n.n;"

> Cloaked Lady growls, softly, and bangs the table, causing it to rise up 

on one side, and shake. She's about to say something, but then sees Lyrae 

turning her attention to Bolt, and calms down.

> Kim looks back to the bar, walking around behind it.

> Derek pushes..or tries to, "Hey, lady, I don't even know you! Now..let 

go, I mean it!" *x_x*

> Ford glances at Kim. "End of the World? AGAIN?!"

> Yuffie's eyes go wide! 0.0 "The real Ragnorak?" She looks around again. 

"Where's that esper?" *_*

> Cloud slowly puts his hand to his head. @.@

> Kim looks at Ford, "Well, history often repeats itself." :)

> Lyrae SWEATDROPS at the cloaked lady, "Ano?" She looks at the group.

> Kim blinks at Yuffie o.o . o O (Esper?)

> Minako looks up at Derek and smiles, "I'm Minako. You're cute. ^_^ Now 

we know each other. ^_^"

> Kim looks at Lyrae, "Need any help back here?" ^_^;

> Raisa chuckles n.n

> Bolt glances to the side, "Brielle..." there's a bit of a 'eh-heh' 

expression on his face, as he addresses the cloaked lady, "It's all right... 

and yeah, I guess a drink would be nice." he begins to make his way through the 

crowd to the bar, "What will you guys want?" he asks of both 'Brielle' and 

Aerith.

> Cloaked Lady shifts, to look at Lyrae, and says in a tone that doesn't 

sound like it's used to being told, "No", "You will get me a bottle of 

Chardonnay, and you will do it right now. You will bring with it a nice brandy 

glass, and a few cherries. Now."

> Yuffie looks down again, deep in thought. "Or does she mean Ragnorak the 

sword too." -.o

> Kazuma-kun says, "Ano na, minna-san. If it were the end of the world, 

I'm sure someone would have been notified. ^_^ Daaaaaaijoubu. ^_^ v"

> Marlene runs around hyperactively, just to make things more chaotic. "My 

daddy is the best!"

> Derek groans and carefully starts to try prying Minako's death grip 

apart..

> Kim narrows her eyes, listening to the cloaked lady with her back to her.

> Lyrae sweatdrops at Marlene.

> Kim says, "I'll get it..." stepping past Lyrae.

> Aerith mms softly and reaches out to tap on the cloaked lady's arm, 

"Uhm, ma'am? No offense, but you could be just a -tad- friendlier you know." ^^;

> Derek exclaims, "That's..nice, Minako.. Ack, stop squeezin'!"

> Lyrae narrows her eyes towards Derek and Minako briefly, then blinks at 

the other woman's rudeness. And pikus at Kim walks past her for the drink.

> Kim. o O (Where are those dirty drinking glasses?)

> Yuffie follows close beside Kim, almost like an obedient puppy. o.o

> Minako's grope...I mean grip, won't be pried off by anything less than 

the jaws of life...she cuddles happily, fondling any portions of Derek's 

anatomy she can get her hands on. ^_^

> Kim kneels down behind the bar, fetching the bottle and a nice unwashed 

glass, polishing it with her vest to remove the spots. n.n

> Cloaked Lady blinks, and nods to Aerith, then turning back to Lyrae. 

"Oh, dear...I suppose I was a bit harsh. I do apologize..I'm not very 

accustomed to the mannerisms and such here. This is how we do things, where I 

come from."

> Cloud sweatdrops a bit at Minako's behavior, and slowly works on picking 

up the confetti. As much as he can.

> Kim drops two cherrys into the glass from a bowl of them under the 

counter, standing up and walking over to the table.

> Raisa just keeps watching n.n

> Kazuma-kun walks up to Minako and Derek, blinkblinking...then ahs!, 

going offscreen for a moment and returning with a screen which blocks the two 

from the audience's view. . o O ( This is a family show, after all. )

> Kim says, "Here ya go." putting the two items in her hands down.

> Yuffie watches Kim, then quickly gets out a small red sphere, which 

looks like a cherry. c.c She sneaks it towards the glass, hoping to drop it in. 

-.o

> Lyrae nods at the Cloaked Lady, "That's okay. Everyone needs to adjust 

ne n.n;"

> *plink* in it goes

> Marlene hops up on a table, standing up on top of it. "Neechan is gone, 

I can stay up late and do what I want!" She announces to the room.

> Kim smiles to the Cloaked Lady, "Enjoy your drink." ^_^

> Kazuma-kun asks at the bar, winking at Lyrae, "Can I get a refill on 

this soda when you get a chance? ^_-"

> Derek turns dark red, "Hey, what do you think you're doin'?!?" *O_o*

> Bolt reaches the bar, looking at Lyrae and Kim, grinning a bit at the 

both of them, "I'll take a straight glass of whiskey, please?" he looks over 

the crowd to Aerith, "Hey, what did you want?"

> Yuffie . o O ( I wonder what that sphere does? ^_^ )

> Ford lazily tosses a towel to Derek, or at least throws it in his 

general direction. He can get her off if he knows how to use it. ^_^ He can 

also use it to persuade her that she really doesn't need that change of 

underclothes. But that's beside the point, really.

> Kim lets Yuffie continue to follow her, not even noticing her little 

addition to the drink.

> Cloud finishes picking up the little bits of paper. Tucking them away in 

a pocket, he heads over to Marlene, gently reaching to pick her off the counter.

> Kazuma-kun peeks behind the screen to answer Derek. "Hey, man...none of 

my business, but I'd seriously consider a new venue. It's not a spectator 

sport...well, unless you're in shinjuku." ^_-

> Marlene pouts crankily.

> Cloaked Lady looks closely at the glass, and then looks back to Kim. 

"I'm not fooled. I know what I see before me. I apologized to your friend, now 

please bring me a clean glass, as you should've done in the first place."

> Aerith chews on her lower lip for a moment, then grins widely as she 

decides. She opens her mouth to answer, then glances around the rest of the 

bar. Well, it is a bit loud..she should probably speak up so that Bolt can hear 

her. So she does so, her voice lifting above the crowd. "I want a Sex on the 

Beach!"

> Raisa giggles ^_^

> Lyrae blinks at Kazuma and smiles faintly, forcing herself to pay 

attention to the customers, "Hai." She refills his glass and then scoots over 

to bring a whiskey to Bolt.

> Cloaked Lady empties the cherries and cherry-shaped object onto a small 

slider on the table, and looks to Aerith and Bolt. "You two can have at 

these...I don't want them.."

> Lyrae stumbles a bit

> Kim says, "Boy, picky picky -.-"

> Cloud slowly turns to look at Aerith. "..."

> Kim takes the glass, going back behind the counter.

> Kim. o O (Rats)

> Kazuma-kun waits for a drink, noting to Aerith, "...man, if I had a 100Y 

for every time I've said that!"
