Raisa> Urd comes in from the back room.
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX is lying down with a massive headache. >.Raisa> Urd asks,
"Banpei, hop to. Where's that credit card?"
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX says, "Adjust volume, please.."
Raisa> Urd shouts, although without any anger, "CARD! CREDIT CARD!... WHAT'S
WRONG, CAN'T YOU HEAR?"
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX passes out. X_X
Raisa> Urd pikus.
Raisa> Urd asks, "On the blink again?"
Raisa> Urd hmphs.
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX wakes up. "The.. alcohol has distorted neural network
pathways temporarily."
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX says, "Please do not talk loud.."
Raisa> Urd says, "Ohhh... hangover."
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX holds an ice pack to his forehead. -.-...
Raisa> Urd asks, "So where's that card at?"
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX holds up the card.
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX says, "Here."
Raisa> Urd says, "Gimmie it. I wanna go buy some things."
Raisa> Urd reaches for the card.
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX hands it over.
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX says, "Warning: do not exceed credit limit."
Raisa> Urd asks, "How does it work?"
Raisa> Urd asks, "Do I just show it?"
ra ;rolls over in her sleep. "..." z.z
Raisa> Raisa rolls over in her sleep. "..." z.z
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX says, "When ordering over telephone, speak number. At
store, show card."
Raisa> Urd asks, "Over telephone?"
Raisa> Banpei-kun RX says, "You can use catalouges and phone ordering as well."

Raisa> You exit the building, returning to the street.
Raisa> Odin Avenue [500]
Raisa> Some of the homes here, unlinke those to the west, appear to have been
erected in rather recent years. Though larger than their elder counterparts,
and containing more modern accomidations, they are no less stylish and do not
detract from the appearance of their neighbours. The contrast might even be
considered healthy. Immediately to the east, a turn north and south and
estates with large mansions bordering it on the eastern edge of the walk mark
the end of Odin Avenue. Also, to your south here, through some wrought iron
gating..is quite oviously a cemetary. It isn't spooky as you think one should
be..far from it..it seems a peaceful, sunny area to be laid to rest.

Raisa> Raisa is at the cemetary gate.
Raisa> Miki is walking by, looking around.

Raisa> You push the old iron bars open, stepping into the cemetary.
Raisa> Odin Street Cemetary
Raisa> As you step quietly into the cemetary, you feel a cold..though not
unpleasant, breeze pass by you, as if the spirits of the dead were walking
past. The sun's light surrounds the large area, with short blades of grass
covering the dirt. Slightly behind you, standing proudly in spite of its
condition, is the Odin Street church. You notice a large hole in the roof of
it, giving access to and from the cemetary if you're not entering from the
street. A narrow grey pathway navigates the area around the tombstones and
markers indicating various places where the dead are laid to rest, most with a
loving note from family and friends. Fresh flowers are laid upon each grave,
while several trees outline the area. Despite the peaceful seeming nature of
the cemetary, you get the distinct feeling that you're trespassing.. and that
you should leave. Quickly.

Raisa> Keiko Arrives on the grounds through the old iron gate.
Raisa> Kei has left.
Raisa> Miki walks in. . o O ( Gah. -.- Why am I in the middle of a cemetary? I
don't wanna be walking over a buncha stiff guys buried under three feet of
dirt. -.-
Raisa> Lyrae looks up and towards Miki. "Um.. Hello..?"
Raisa> Raisa waves to Lyrae, apparently unnoticing the morbid surroundings.
"Hiya, miss Lyrae!"
Raisa> Lyrae turns towards Raisa, shifting her grip on the lyre as she clasps
her hands behind her back, "Hello Raisa."
Raisa> Raisa looks back and forth. "What're sitting around here for Lyrae?"
Raisa> Miki decides to get out of here quickly. This place is giving her the
creeps, and god forbid anyone witnesses her get scared. O.O
Raisa> Keiko goes out to the street, passing through the large iron gates.
Raisa> Keiko has left.
Raisa> Lyrae blinks at Miki's quick exit, and looks back to Raisa, "I just
wanted to come out for some fresh air."
Raisa> Raisa nods to Lyrae, taking a seat on one of the larger tombstones. "Who
was that lady inside?"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "What lady? What did she look like?"
Raisa> Raisa says, "About this tall, light hair, dark skin..."
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Ohh, that's Belldandy's sister, Urd."
Raisa> Raisa nods o.o
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "I don't much like her, so I try to be anywhere she
isn't."
Raisa> Raisa nods again
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "I've been away a while. Anything been going on?
Yuffie awake yet..?"
Raisa> Raisa shakes her head -.-;
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "The others didn't get back yet..?"
Raisa> Raisa shakes her head again. "Uh-uh."
Raisa> Lyrae sighs, "What could be taking them so long?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "..well no matter, I suppose. They'll be back and
Yuffie will be fine." she turns away and reaches for a shovel.
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "What's the shovel for, Lyrae?"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "I thought.. it was high time I buried my past and
lived the way I should be living." She moves towards an empty area and places
the shovel down, stepping on it to turn up the soil.
Raisa> Raisa blinks again, not quite catching the metaphor
Raisa> Lyrae digs a smallish hole and unhooks the lyre at her hip, holding it
up to show Raisa.
Raisa> Raisa looks at it. "Oohhh..."
Raisa> Lyrae smiles faintly and drops the lyre into the hole, "The past holds
nothing more for me."
Raisa> Raisa smiles. "That's a good way to think, Lyrae!" ^_^ . o O (
Especially since you just started a future as our minion! Tee hee! )
Raisa> Lyrae smiles back, "Thanks." She pushes the last of the dirt over the
ground and stomps on it a little.
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "There. That's that."
Raisa> Raisa smiles mindlessly ^_^
Raisa> Lyrae sweatdrops at the smile and brushes dirt off her hands, tossing
the shovel to one side, "Did you come out here looking for me?"
Raisa> Raisa nods. "Haven't seen you in aaaagggeeeesss!"
Raisa> Lyrae blinks and smiles faintly, "Oh. I went out of town to do some
shopping and I got lost, so I stayed at an inn to get directions."
Raisa> Raisa ooohhh's. "Shoulda told me first, Ida gone to get you!"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Oh, I wouldn't have wanted to put you out of your
way or anything. Besides, I wanted to see if I could find my way back without
bothering anyone here."
Raisa> Raisa sniffles. "It's okay, you don't need to do that, you got people
looking out for you!" . o O ( Sensou... )
Raisa> Lyrae nods slowly, and blinks at the sniffle, "Are you coming down with
a cold?"
Raisa> Raisa waves dismissively. "Nah. It's starting to get cold, though."
Raisa> Lyrae nods, "Do you want to go back in?"
Raisa> Raisa shakes her head. "That's okay, not THAt cold!"
Raisa> Lyrae smiles, "Okay." she clasps her hands behind her back. "You want to
go out for a bite to eat or something?" she nods her head towards the
tombstones, "We should let them rest. I'm sure they don't want to hear us
gabbing out here all day."
Raisa> Raisa smiles. "I'm sure they don't mind! It's not like they can
complain..." She pauses, then adds, "Dinner'd be GREAT! I'll pay!"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "You don't have to.. but all right." She looks
thoughtful, "There really is only one place to eat around here isn't there..or
do you know of any other places we can go?"
Raisa> Raisa rubs her nose. "Well, there's that cafe... or the bar..."
Raisa> Lyrae nods, "..but the bar specializes in drinks, not food." she sighs,
"I'm amazed there aren't any other places, .. shall we try the cafe?"
Raisa> Raisa nods ^_^
Raisa> You fall in line behind Lyrae.
Raisa> Lyrae goes out to the street, passing through the large iron gates.
Raisa> Lyrae has left.
Raisa> Lyrae leaves, with you following after.
** Walk cut **
Raisa> City Square
Raisa> 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.

Raisa> Main Room
Raisa> This is a sizable and comfy room of a relatively small cafe on the
corner of Thor East and Tyr. Tables are lined about neatly in an L
coordination about a likely L-shaped counter, where foot stools are placed for
extra seating. Behind the counter, a large cutout in the wall allows
communication between the registreers and the cooks, and the waitress or waiter
on duty moves back and forth from this room to the kitchen through a wooden
door placed to the side of it. Set into the northeastern corner, are two
public payphones, the restrooms, and some stairs, apparently leading up to an
apartment above. There is little to know decoration of the mostly
wood-furnished structure, and what there is seems to be following a 50s theme.
With a few nostalgic objects of yore, most notably a jukebox. (Use 'menu' and
'order' to order things.)

Raisa> Lyrae steps in, "I don't know why I expected anything to change in here."
Raisa> Raisa shrugs. "If it works, run with it, I guess..."
Raisa> Lyrae nods, "It would certainly seem to be the motto around here." She
finds a seat and slides into it.
Raisa> Raisa asks, "A lot of weird people running around the city, no?"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Definitely. Demons, Goddesses, Dragons.. things I
thought long dead or simply legend at best.."
Raisa> Raisa nods o.o; "Maybe daddy shoulda kept the job in Tokyo..."
Raisa> Lyrae pauses, and nods, "But you seem to be adapting pretty well here.."
She looks up, "Or is that an act?"
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Actually, half the people here scare me out of my wits."
o.o
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "They do? You don't look it .. you seem to just take
things in stride. Or at least you're handling it far better than me." she grins.
Raisa> Raisa blushes. "Well, hiding behind you isn't taking it very well." ^^;
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, "Hiding behind me? When did you do that? I've only seen
you lose your cool.. sort of.. once. That time that Gunter was bothering us in
the square."
Raisa> Raisa nods. "Actually, I got LOTS of cool then." -.-;
Raisa> Lyrae grins, "Well if you haven't been taunted by ghouls, picked on by
demons, or terrorized by dragons since then, I'd say you were really lucky."
Raisa> Raisa nods again o.o;
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, "Oh, we didn't even order o.o;"
Raisa> Raisa sweatdrops ^^;
Raisa> Lyrae blushes and giggles ^^;
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Well it's not like we have a lot of choice on the
menu.. coffee, fries, a burger or hot dogs.."
Raisa> Raisa stage-whispers to Lyrae, "Skip the hotdogs"
Raisa> Lyrae giggles and nods, "Is it true the waitresses eat the hotdogs
before delivering them? And right in front of you?"
Raisa> Raisa nods to Lyrae -.-;
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Unbelievable. How do they keep their jobs?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs n.n;
Raisa> Lyrae shakes her head, "I suppose it isn't important. But they better
not eat my food.." She orders from the waitress.
Raisa> Raisa waits for Lyrae to learn n.n;
Raisa> Lyrae orders a hamburger. Kaori-chan smiles, "One hamburger, coming up!"
Raisa> Kaori-chan yells in back to the cook, "Hamburger!" The cook nods,
"Hamburger.."
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, "What's that look for?"
Raisa> Kaori-chan finally comes out, Lyrae's hamburger in hand, and sets it
before her, "There ya are, sugar."
Raisa> Raisa shrugs. "Nothing. Just be glad you didn't get the hot dogs."
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Well I wasn't going to give them a reason to eat my
food." ^_^
Raisa> Raisa flags down Kaori-chan, and she smiles, "French fries, eh? One
moment."
Raisa> Kaori-chan yells in back to the cook, "Order of fries!" The cook nods
in acknowledgement.
Raisa> Kaori-chan brings the french fries to Raisa, "There ya go."
Raisa> Raisa beams *_*
Raisa> Lyrae eyes the waitresses warily a moment, then giggles at the look on
Raisa's face. "You really like fries huh?"
Raisa> Raisa smiles. "With ketchup!" She holds up the bottle! ^_^
Raisa> Lyrae giggles again, "I can't say I blame you. I love fries too." she
picks a pickle off her hamburger.
Raisa> Raisa downs the fries, 5-6 at a time
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, and eats her hamburger at a much more sedate pace, despite
the fact that she'd love to scarf it down in one gulp.
ra :grins happily ^^
Raisa> Raisa grins happily ^^
Raisa> Lyrae giggles and almost chokes on a bite. She coughs briefly, and takes
a sip of a glass of water.
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Mou... you okay?"
Raisa> Lyrae coughcoughs, "I'm fine." she coughs again, "I must have taken too
big a bite." She grins, "I think hamburgers are my favorite food.. aside from
Japanese or Chinese food anyway."
Raisa> Raisa nods ^_^ "But western food is so much thicker..." She pauses,
trying to articulate this. "Fills you up faster!"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Really? I haven't had any western food.. .what's it
like?"
Raisa> Raisa lectures, "Well, they seem to like big hunks of meat, straight!
Like hamburgers..."
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Straight? You mean..raw?"
Raisa> Raisa squints. "No, cooked... just with nothing on it, just sides."
Raisa> Lyrae exclaims, "Oh!"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Sounds kind of..bland.."
Raisa> Raisa elaborates, "Well, they use lots of salt, and pepper, and even
leave most of the fat on!"

CaptainKirby
Enter our infinitely intrepid hero, Captain Kirby. Defender of
Truth, Justice, and the American Cheese! This boy is some kind of weird
cross between Watterson's Spaceman Spiff and Nintendo's Kirby. (The one
with white, poofy skin not pink.) Shall I continue my @description?
No? Too late. You already looked.
One of the shortest little fools you ever did see, Captain Kirby
stands tall at only 2 feet tall. He's a GMM. (Grown Man Midget) but has
the look of a Spaceman(Spacebum) due to his skin(?)-tight blue gloves and
boots and to his Spaceman Spiff Goggles. (For those heathens who don't read
Calvin and Hobbes, A black mask which the 'eyes' are opaque white polygons
which change to show the owner's mood.) Also is his matching dark-green
utility belt, containing everything from Cheese Whiz to a Demise-O-Bomb.
Grinning back up at you moronically, Captain Kirby displays possible
megalomania by announcing, "I...am >>CAPTAIN<< -=-(*!KIRBY!*)-=-"
Very weird. I sure wish he'd put that Space-Age laser back in his
belt. Eep. (Would you like YOUR atoms erased today??) >;)
Carrying:
OOC Button: Don't be afraid if my weapons have twinky names(Like Mordonic
Mercator Moleculizer) Most are just plain lasers I give fancy names to for

>Kataki nods. "I'd assume you don't. But my friend here seems to be under the
assumption you are going to eat her, for some odd reason, I happen to have
better sense, and I know you aren't going to eat her, because if you do, I'd
have to cleave you in half." He points at Kirby, and looks at Luna, "See? He
means no harm."
>Luna sniffles..but nods. She's still a bit scared. Slowly, she pulls herself
up, and curtseys to Kirby..."I'm...sorry, sir..."
>Haunter LOOKS at CK like that. "Haunter." c_c
>CaptainKirby makes a strange gesture. "That's alright. I get that on all
organic planets." and grins at Kataki, deciding to take the, ah, 'Cleave you in
Half' statement as a joke, not a threat. Sorta. Kinda. Maybe.

Jigglypuff of some sort... nah.)

is going to, uh...get something really bad done to him. [OOC]
>Takeshi (OOC) couldn't help it. ^^
>Magus looks up after settling slowly to the pavement, focusing his cold, red
eyes upon the figure of Luna. He speaks up in his deep, malevolent voice,
apparently deliberately attempting to attract attention. "Good evening, madam."
Raisa> Raisa nods o.o;
>Kataki straightens his vest, and mutters about crazy bullet-magnets and walking
marshmellows messing up his day, and moves over next to a random building near
the group, just now noticing Magus. <_< .... o_o; O_O
Raisa> Lyrae looks sick to her stomach. "Gross."
>CaptainKirby opens up his magazine, interrupted for the trillionth time in a
single minute, and starts on an article again. And is interrupted a
trillion-and-one times, hearing Magus. "Hi, dude."
>Luna smiles slightly, looking a bit exhausted, and curtseys to Magus..."Good
evening, sir.."
Raisa> Raisa nods. "Shock shock!" >.<
>Haunter vanishes entirely from view, and
reappears next to Kirby, giving him a thorough inspection.
>Takeshi looks over to Magus, now noticing him also. "Um.. hi?"
>Luna looks at Kirby...but curiously, now...o O (Aww...kawaii!)
>Remo turns a page
>Magus strides towards Luna, his cloak flowing out behind him. "I believe we got
off on the wrong foot, before..." His tone of voice doesn't seem to support
that statement...
>Kataki's expression darkens considerably.
Raisa> Lyrae quickly drinks her water to settle her stomach
>Luna blinks at Magus..."We..did? o.o Oh...well...I try not to hold grudges,
sir...^^;"
>CaptainKirby gives the dog one weird lookin' grin, baring all his teeth,
including a lot of teeth, in some demonic grin. "Hi, puppy." And gives it a
more civilized smile then goes back to his magazine.
>Magus smiles at Luna, a fierce, predatory gesture. "I don't believe I even
caught your name..."
>Haunter grins at CK. "Haunter!" and drifts back over next to Kataki,
>CaptainKirby turns to Kataki, actually giving him eye-contact. "Cool pet.
What's it called?"
>Luna says, "Oh! I'm sorry...how rude of me...^^; My name is Luna...^^"
>Magus stops directly in front of Luna, looking down upon her... the gesture
obvious... "A lovely name..."
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, *glurf* "Oh by the way!"
>Luna curtseys again, and smiles. n.n; "Why, thank you, sir..."
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Ya?"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "I don't know if it was in the paper or not.. did you
hear about a woman named Sato Amai being killed?"
>Magus continues. "I am slightly... aggrivated at your interference before...
though, perhaps, it was unavoidable? Or am I mistaken?"
Raisa> Raisa blanches o.o
Raisa> Lyrae hrms at the reaction, "You didn't?"
>CaptainKirby looks over at Magus, then Kataki, lip-synching the words, "Can you
understand what in holy spoot this guy is talking about?"
Raisa> Raisa pauses. "I... heard about it..."
>Luna seems to contemplate that...o.o "It was probably unavoidable...I hate
people be picked on.."
>Kataki's eyes move towards CK, his eyes dripping dark emotion...which are
quickly beaten down, and he smiles pleasantly at Kirby. "Haunter...his name is
Haunter." He doesn't respond further to the lip-synch. MAybe he didn't pick up
on it.
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "You did?"
>Luna, still frightened by things, grabs onto Takeshi's arm, lightly. o.o;
>Takeshi watches Magus, curious as to what he's trying to get to. c.c
>Magus ignores the little Captain like the worm he feels him to be. Though he
doesn't state as such in as many words, mind you. He contines to Luna, "You
should have questioned farther into the nature of the people being 'picked on'
before you interfered..." he opens his eyes wide, as if in anger, but
continues, "What's done is done."
Raisa> Raisa nods ;_;
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Did you know her?"
Raisa> Raisa shakes her head. "But I heard about... it... even so" ;_;
>CaptainKirby slinks over to Kataki, showing earnest interest in Haunter. "Man,
I've only seen something even similar to that before was in a graveyard." And
looks up at Kataki. "...where'd you get it?"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Derek told me he ... he saw the body. He said it
wasn't pretty.. whatever it was that the murderer did to her."
Raisa> Raisa blanches even further ;_; . o O ( Heh heh heh! )
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be talking about this kind
of thing should I. o O ( ... but why do I feel like I know something about it?
)"
Raisa> Raisa puts her hands to her mouth. "... Not while eating a hamburger."
;_;
Raisa> Lyrae smiles, "I do apologize Raisa." She bows her head sheepishly.
>Kataki looks at Kirby, the dark storm behind his eyes plainly visible,
yet...not. "...Actually...you COULD say I got him from a graeyard."
Raisa> Raisa smiles. "It's okay, not your fault..." ^_^
Raisa> Raisa . o O ( So to speak. )
Raisa> Lyrae taps her finger on the table lightly, "Well yeah.."
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "But it's not exactly the kind of topic one brings
up for dinner conversation."
Raisa> Raisa nods o.o;
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "So what have you been doing?"
Raisa> Raisa smiles. "Studying, mostly!"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Studying for what?"
Raisa> Raisa says, "Everything, apparently." x.x
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Are you applying for college here?"
Raisa> Raisa squints. "I dunno if there evenIS a college here."
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Well I think there is an academy; Remember?
Kazuma-kun said he was a student at.. Gateway was it?"
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "I dunno... that a college or prep school?"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "I don't know. I was under the impression it was a
college.. but we should ask Kazuma if you're interested in joining them." She
pauses, "But if you aren't studying for your education, what are you studying
for?"
Raisa> Raisa rubs her nose. "Well, that won't be until next year anyway."
Raisa> Raisa . o O ( And hopefully you'll all be dead by then. -.- )
>Luna holds Takeshi's arm, tightly. Scaredly. o.o;;;; She nods to Magus. "I'm
sorry..but...even so, it's not right..they weren't bothering you..."
>Magus narrows his eyes. "sometimes it is wise to take proactive measures..."
>Remo looks up from his newspaper
>Kataki continues to seethe quietly in Magus' general direction.
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Ohh, well yes true.."
>Luna says, "Proactive? o.o; I'm sorry...I don't know that word..but I won't
just sit by and watch people harrassed like that..."
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Have you got a job yet?"
>Magus hmmphs, crossing his arms. The girl is apparently astoundingly
uninformed. He says, not caring who listens in, "But that was an impressive
talent you showed before..."
Raisa> Raisa smiles, then blinks, then gets a straight face. "Umm..."
>Luna o.o "Oh...my singing? ^^; Thank you.."
Raisa> Lyrae waits patiently.
Raisa> Raisa smiles warily. "Kinda."
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Oh really? What do you do?" o O ( Kinda? )
Raisa> Raisa elaborates, "Well, do odd jobs, now and then..."
>Magus raises an eyebrow. "Many uses it has..."
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "For the same company your father works with?"
>Luna shrugs, a little..n.n; "It's a gift, I suppose..but it requires a lot of
practice. ^^"
>Magus smiles in his disconerting way. "Quite handy..." He narrows his eyes.
"Especially the violent uses..."
>Haunter hrms, floating next to Kataki. "Haunter!" n_n
Raisa> Raisa says, "That, and for a few small shops here and there, too ^^;"
>Takeshi as this point, says something to Magus. "So why are you so intersted in
it?"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "That's good; I was wondering what you were doing
when you weren't by the church and all." She giggles.
>Magus ignores Takeshi, waiting for Luna's response.
Raisa> Raisa blushes. "Duh, I do have a life, y'know?" ^_^
Raisa> Lyrae giggles and blushes, "Oh I know, I didn't mean to imply that you
didn't.."
>Luna blinks..."I..well..it's all that I've got.."
>Kataki mutters, quietly. "My my, how civil are we..." He suddenly begins
watching Remo.
>Magus smiles again, though it doesn't seem any more reassuring. "I appreciate
the enlightenment. Do try to stay out of conflicts that dont involve you, next
time, however..." On that note, he turns, and starts to walk off.
>Luna sighs, a bit annoyedly, and says, softly, "I won't, when people are being
harrassed."
>Takeshi steps up, closer to Magus. "However what?"
>Magus says, in a direct tone, right befoe he leaves the area, "You should be
more careful who you classify as 'people'."
** Magus exits **
Raisa> Raisa giggles."That's okay, it's easy to think that around here..."
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Well I suppose you're right," she giggles.
Raisa> Raisa sighs. "I wonder what all the weirdoes do for fun." ;_;
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "That depends. What kind of weirdoes are you talking
about?"
Raisa> Raisa pauses. "There's a wide variety, isn't there..." 9.9
Raisa> Lyrae nods and giggles.
Raisa> Raisa joins her in the giggling. "Seriously, what's with this place?
Dragons, robots, wizards? As-if." 9.9
Raisa> Lyrae giggles, "You left out the goddesses and demons." She shakes her
head, "Oh, and flying reptiles. It's bizarre really. I would never have
expected to see half of the things I did."
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Mou... missed those!" o.o;
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "You never saw them? Wait.. you were there for the
snake weren't you? He helped stabilize Yuffie."
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Oh yeah... that winged thingie. I thought you were
classifying him under 'dragon'." 9.9
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Oh no. Should I have?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs o.o;
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "I didn't consider him a dragon at least.. and I
know there are two dragons in this city that look nothing like him already."
Raisa> Raisa oohhh's. "Two?"
Raisa> Lyrae nods, "I haven't seen either of them in ages, and I hope to keep
it that way."
Raisa> Raisa nods -.- . o O ( I wasn't told about TWO of 'em c.c )
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "You're very luckynot to have run into them Raisa.
o.o"
Raisa> Raisa nods -.-
Raisa> Lyrae blinks at the face, "Is something wrong?"
Raisa> Raisa shakes her head. "I guess meeting a dragon would be interesting,
y'know?"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Try bone-chillingly frightening.." she shudders as
a chill runs up her spine.
Raisa> Raisa blinks o.o
Raisa> Lyrae shakes her head and smiles apologetically.
Raisa> Raisa peers at Lyrae, then resumes her smiling. "Did they have names or
anythin'?"
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, "Who?"
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "The dragons, silly!"
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, "OH! Well I only have the name of one of them."
Raisa> Raisa listens patiently for the name o.o
Raisa> CaptainKirby walks in from the street outside.
Raisa> CaptainKirby has arrived.
Raisa> Raisa is chatting with Lyrae-san ^^
Raisa> Lyrae opens her mouth to answer, only to blink and fall slightly silent
as someone else enters, smiling and nodding a polite greeting towards him.
Raisa> CaptainKirby came to the cafe ICly to...ah...order a coffee, yeah...
Raisa> Raisa blinks, looking over her shoulder at the... erm... midget?
Raisa> Lyrae . o O ( Goodness that's the shortest vertically challenged person
I've ever seen. )
Raisa> CaptainKirby walks in, as inconspicious as possible, taking a seat at a
table without saying a word, resting in the booth while not even bothering to
look at the menu, who instead just eats rations out of his utility belt. How
rude.
Raisa> Lyrae slowly turns back to Raisa and blinks at her for a few minutes.
Then she shakes her head and frowns. o O ( ..what was I saying again? )
Raisa> Raisa stage-whispers to Lyrae, "Mou... that's the SHORTEST guy I've ever
seen!"
Raisa> Lyrae nods slowly and raises a finger to her lips, "Shh, you don't wnat
to offend him do you? I think the politically correct word is 'vertically
challenged'." She stage-whispers back.
Raisa> CaptainKirby gotta go. See you on later tonight if I don't fall asleep.
Raisa> CaptainKirby has disconnected.
Raisa> Raisa nods to Lyrae as the weird guy leaves o.o;
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "Think we offended him?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs ^^;
Raisa> Lyrae shakes hre head, "Oh well, not our problem I suppose."
Raisa> Raisa nods
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "What were we talking about?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs o.o
Raisa> Lyrae shakes her head, "Well I suppose it was nothing special. Do you
want to head back or go somewhere else?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs. "Up to you..."
Raisa> Lyrae shakes her head, "I don't mind either way really."
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Make up your mind! Gee, don't be so wishy-washy, I
thought you were going to be more determined 'n stuff!"
Raisa> Lyrae blinks, crossing her arms, "Who are you calling wishy-washy?"
Raisa> Raisa points at you. "You! 'I don't mind either way, really', what kinda
answer is that!?" She inhales. "But it's up to you, really." ^^;
Raisa> Lyrae frowns, "I'm not wishy-washy in the least!" she taps her foot
against the ground o O ( Wishy-washy indeed! )
Raisa> Raisa pouts. "I'm sorry Miss Lyrae!" ;_;
Raisa> Lyrae blinks and sighs 9.9 "That's okay Raisa. Ne, how come you call me
'Miss Lyrae'..like Shinayaka does?"
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Can't a girl be polite?" ;_;
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Of course but.. it's just not necessary really."
Raisa> Raisa nods ^_^ "Okay!"
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "In fact, I'd prefer it :)"
Raisa> Raisa blushes. "Hai, Miss Lyrae!"
Raisa> Lyrae waves a finger, "Just 'Lyrae'." She giggles.
Raisa> Raisa blushes again. "Hai."
Raisa> Lyrae giggles quietly.
Raisa> Raisa rubs her nose. "Ano, weren't we going to do something?"
Raisa> Lyrae asks gently, "We were? Oh! Right. Do you want to go to the bar?"
Raisa> Raisa shrugs. "Why not. Something might be going on, y'know."
Raisa> Lyrae quietly says, "Okay."
Raisa> You fall in line behind Lyrae.
** Walk cut **
Raisa> Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room
Raisa> 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.
Raisa> [Exits : (B)ack Room, (K)itchen, (U)pstairs, and (O)ut ]
Raisa> [Players : Lyrae, Tifa, Kei, Yuri, and Derek ]
Raisa> [Things : None ]
Raisa> Lyrae arrives, with Raisa following behind.
Raisa> Derek blinks and rubs the back of his head, "Uhm, she went out, Tifa.."
Raisa> Lyrae walks in with Raisa, smiling.
Raisa> Tifa smiles knowingly ^_^ "Oh. I see.. Sorry for mentioniong her in
front of compa-Oh,. hi Lyrae-san!"
Raisa> Raisa tags behind Lyrae like a puppy ^^;
Raisa> Lyrae adjusts her jacket and gives Raisa an odd look..sweatdrops
slightly and then turns to Tifa, "Hello Tifa!"
Raisa> Kei blinks, turning to eye Lyrae with an analytical look. Hmmmmm...
Raisa> Derek looks over...and goes pale as a sheet o_o
Raisa> Yuri had just been about to resume sitting next to Derek, a hand on his
shoulder as she moved about the chair. She freezes in place, glancing
thoughtfully at Lyrae with the same almost gauging look. -.o
Raisa> Raisa waves 'hi' to Derek! ^_^
Raisa> Tifa is standing with her arms folded, and was speaking to Derek and his
two babes.
Raisa> Lyrae blinks. Once. Her smile remains on her face as she clasps her
hands behind her back.. balling them into fists and hiding that fact. Counts to
ten and brings her hands back in front of her, adjusting her jacket, "Good
evening everyone!" She chirps.
Raisa> Lyrae . o O ( What. Is. Going. On? -.- )
Raisa> Derek freezes..there's no way he can get out of this..just try to
minimize the damage. He waves, slipping his arm free from Kei's, "Heya.. Uhm,
Lyrae, I'd like you to meet Kei and Yuri. They're new in town and asked for
help. I was just telling them about the area.." ^_^; . o O ( I'm so dead.. )
Raisa> Kei grins, waving. "Hello!" She stands up, grinning, and slips out her
WWWA card (where IS she hiding it?)
Raisa> Raisa giggles, putting her hand to her mouth ^_^
Raisa> Kei hands Kei's WWWA Identification to Lyrae.
Raisa> Tifa doesn't look terribly pleased herself, but she's smiling politely.
"Ne Lyrae-san, can I get you anything?" ^_^
Raisa> Lyrae smiles brightly, walking towards Kei and reaches a hand out
towards her, "Hello there!" She pauses, taking the card and looks at it.
Raisa> Yuri, set in motion once again at Derek's words, stands up completely
from her half crouch. Smiling companionably, she nods to Lyrae. "It's nice to
meet you.." . o O ( HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!! ;.; well... who knows. ) pulling
her own card out, she offers it instead to Tifa, the owner of the
establishment... her movements almost mechanical as her eyes regard Derek
several times, almost burning holes into his back.
Raisa> Yuri hands Yuri's WWWA Identification to Tifa.
Raisa> Lyrae blinks at the card, "Trouble Consultant?" She hands it back to Kei.
Raisa> Derek indicates Lyrae, "This is Lyrae, she's a very close friend of
mine..and one of the people Esmerelda had ahold of, like I told you about.."
Raisa> Tifa looks at the ID, examining it carefully.
Raisa> Lyrae hands Kei's WWWA Identification to Kei.
Raisa> Tifa. o O (Wonder if they'd be able to help with the murder..)
Raisa> Lyrae glances towards the stairway for a brief moment, frowning and
shuddering slightly.
Raisa> Tifa takes a moment to memorize the employee number, then hands it back.
Raisa> Tifa hands Yuri's WWWA Identification to Yuri.
Raisa> Tifa. o O (Lovely angel? o.o)
Raisa> Yuri . o O ( She's just a friend! n.n )
Raisa> Lyrae sobers quietly at the mention of Esmerelda's name and reaches to
her hip - wait. Lyre's gone.
Raisa> Raisa stage-whispers to Lyrae, "Mou... Mr. Derek's real popular with the
ladies!" c.c
Raisa> Kei grins. "The planetary authorities sometimes run into problems they
can't handle. Problems usually mean crime. That's where the WWWA comes in."
Raisa> Lyrae nods at Raisa, answering calmly, "Isn't he thought?"
Raisa> Lyrae looks at Kei, "Well it's a good thing then. We could use
authorities around here."
Raisa> Yuri, all smiles once again, regards Tifa and anyone else nearby in
general. "We were sent here for general investigative purposes, due to the
problems that have been recently reported." . o O ( Nice way of saying we have
no clue what we're doing here! )
Raisa> Derek blinks . o O ( %@! Wait, did she just say..? ) "Uhm, planetary?"
>_>
Raisa> Tifa asks, "P..Planetary? O.O You mean there are more then one?"
Raisa> Raisa begins to soak the conversation in...
Raisa> Raisa . o O ( This could be a problem. )
Raisa> Kei grins. "Yuri and I are the WWWA's top team of trouble consultants.
Our official code name is Lovely Angels, y'know, after our space ship." She
looks over at Tifa. "Sure! Just look out there."
Raisa> Yuri, glancing at Derek, smiles a bit further than necessary as she nods
firmly. "Hai! We aid in the problems of the more than 3000 planets within the
regulated colonies of United...." her voice trails off, her eyebrow twitching,
"...waaaait a sec...."
Raisa> Lyrae blinks.
Raisa> Tifa O.O and just stares. What are you two on?
Raisa> Kei asks, "... What?"
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Ano...? Are you two crazy?" O.o
Raisa> Tifa says, "...How much have you given them to drink, Derek-san? ^^;"
Raisa> Kei says, "Hell no!" . o O ( We passed all the psychological exams. )
Raisa> Lyrae shoots Derek a brief questioning look. Then back to the others.
Raisa> Derek . o O ( Well, I guess it's possible. Belldandy and her sisters
sure aren't from around here.. )
Raisa> Derek scratches his cheek, "Just one glass, Tifa.." 9_9
Raisa> Raisa blinks. "Oh..." o.o . o O ( ... I'll have to tell him about
this. Just in case. )
Raisa> Yuri glances towards Kei, shrugging her shoulders in incredulity. "NONE
of you have ever heard of the WWWA?"
Raisa> Tifa says, "Nope.. ^^;"
Raisa> Raisa shakes her head o.o;
Raisa> Derek says, "Uhm..I think I said that when you first showed me your
cards, Yuri.."
Raisa> Kei blinks. . o O ( Finally. Some planet that hasn't heard of us. ) She
grins in relief.
Raisa> Tifa's bar does not look like the height of technological sophistication.
Raisa> Lyrae shifts slightly, slipping her hands in her pockets.
Raisa> But... but... There's the pinball machine!
Raisa> Kei looks over at Yuri. "Maybe it's just the big cities that might've
heard of us?"
Raisa> That doesn't work unless you want to go to the basement ^^;
Raisa> Tifa says, "...This is the big city ^^;"
Raisa> Yuri sweatdrops at Kei, "B.. but this is just about the biggest city on
this planet, one of them anyway..." . o O ( Wait... if they haven't heard of us
*OR* the WWWA... )
Raisa> Raisa asks, "Ano, you said you got a spaceship? Can I see/ Can I?"
Raisa> Yuri falls to her knees with a wail, her hair falling all about her.
She pounds one fist on the floor, "THEY SENT US TO THE WRONG PLANET!!"
Raisa> Raisa blinks O.o
Raisa> Lyrae takes a step back.
Raisa> Derek looks down at Yuri, "What? Who?.." O_o
Raisa> Tifa tosses back her ponytail sheepishly. "Where were you trying to go?"
Raisa> Kei grins, taking Derek's arm. "Oh come on, Yuri, it's not that bad.
They've got cute guys here too."
Raisa> Raisa stage-whispers to Lyrae, "They seem dangerously unstable..." o.o;
Raisa> Lyrae nods at Raisa silently.
Raisa> Tifa raiiiiises her eyebrows and glances over at Lyrae.
Raisa> Derek O_O;;; and turns a nice deep red, "Uhm, Kei..? Could you..ah, not
push up against me..? Please..?" *@_@*
Raisa> Yuri, glancing up at Kei, ponders that a moment.. then, her cheeks
dimpling, nods firmly and stands up with a spring in her step. "True enough!"
*^_^* "We need a vacation anyway, and besides, I think they could use the help
around here."
Raisa> Lyrae just drums her fingers lightly against the space her lyre used to
be, smiling slowly, "Tifa, might I trouble you for some tea?"
Raisa> Yuri ~.~ at Kei, muttering something under her breath about trying to
take ALL the men.
Raisa> Tifa nods.. "Sure.. " she promptly dissapears to go make some, since
she HAD been in bed until she heard the commotion..
Raisa> Kei grins, ignoring Derek. How can a guy not want Kei pushing up against
him? "Right, that's the spirit, Yuri! We can start with Sensou!"
Raisa> Lyrae tenses, looking sharply towards Kei, "Se..Sensou?"
Raisa> Raisa half-cowers behind Lyrae, her hand at her mouth c.c
Raisa> Derek looks over nervously at Lyrae and nods, "I..uhm, told them about
some of the problems going on.."
Raisa> Lyrae absently turns towards Raisa and comforts the girl, "Oh?"
Lyrae pages, "No kidding ^_^" to you.
Raisa> Derek sighs, "There's something I didn't tell you about, Kei. You see,
Lyrae and her brother Janus are..or were the heads of Sensou enterprises. That
was before their supposedly dead father and one of his underlings took over.
The company's been up to no good ever since.."
Raisa> Raisa listens, deathly quiet...
Raisa> Yuri nods firmly to Kei, crossing her arms under her.. ample, fairly
apparent chest. "Right! We'll need our powered suits, a rail gun, several
missile packs, a few spare clips, some explosives and demolitions, a sniper
rifle or two, electromagnetic jamming..." her voice trails off as she casually
lists such RIDICULOUS equipment, regarding Lyrae with an all new speculative
look at Derek's words.
Raisa> Kei scratches her head. "Huh?" She looks towards Lyrae. "You mean she's
one of them?"
Raisa> Lyrae narrows her eyes, which flash brightly for a moment, "I most
certainly am NOT!"
Raisa> Raisa . o O ( Oh dear. They could be trouble, if they aren't insane
o.o )
Raisa> Lyrae @shudders.
Raisa> Derek shakes his head, "No, no! Lyrae's not anything like the folks at
Sensou now!" o_o;;
Raisa> Kei grins. "Didn't think so, that'd make it easier." She maintains a
glomp on Derek, nestling his arm between her bosom. "So who's running it now,
a zombie?"
Raisa> Tifa returns with Lyrae's tea (She hasn't been eavesdropping, noooo! ^.-)
Raisa> Lyrae takes the tea a bit tensely, "My father."
Raisa> Raisa sweatdrops -.-;
Raisa> Derek sweatdrops and looks at the ceiling, "No, her dad..and that
bastard Kataki.." 9_9
Raisa> Yuri bristles a little at Kei's attentions, clearly frustrated. Trying
not to outwardly show it TOO much.. and failing miserably.. she sighs
melodramatically. "So her father's running this company now, through terror and
bribes and illegal operations.. sounds just like the operation on Valos 4..."
he voice trails off near the end, however, as her eyes keep flickering towards
Kei and Derek. >.>
Raisa> Yuri . o O ( He's CUTE! )
Raisa> Lyrae bites her lip hard and stares silently at her teacup, her thoughts
elsewhere.
Raisa> Lyrae looks at Yuri, "That. And murder."
Raisa> Tifa coughs, hearing that word.. THe upstairs hall STILL has
bloodstains..
Raisa> Raisa stifles a giggle at the 'murder' statement -.-
Raisa> Derek casts a quick glance over at Raisa . o O ( ? )
Raisa> Lyrae sets her cup down and bites her lip.
Raisa> Lyrae . o O ( Why do I have the feeling.. I shouldn't be here?.. )
Raisa> Kei says, "Murder?"
Raisa> Tifa abruptly turns to face one of the walls so her expression can't be
seen. -_-;
Raisa> Derek . o O ( I've got a BAD feeling about this... )
Raisa> Lyrae nods, edging towards the door.
Raisa> Raisa has a somber expression on her face. really. ;_;
Raisa> Kei looks over at Yuri, involuntarily tightening her grip on Derek's arm.
Raisa> Derek blinks, "Going back to the church, Lyrae?"
** Then... I gotta quit 9.9 **
