Odin Street Church: Sanctuary(#1639RA)
The tall stained glass windows of the old building flood the room with a dusty
light. Your ears hear every creak and bend as you step across the old wooden
floor. This once joyous place of worship has long since fallen into a state of
disrepair, yet through the dirt and the cobwebs the atmosphere remains bright
and comforting. A portion of the wooden floor is even broken away, revealing a
patch of wild flowers growing in the center of the room.
[Exits : (B)ack room, and (O)ut ]

>Ryan walks in. "Hey! And no, I didn't bring food this time, nobody seems to eat
it." o.-;
>Lyrae and Yuffie are sitting at the table eating fishcakes, with a kitty
munching on some too on the floor. She looksover at Ryan and chokes on her food
at that.
>Kitty is happily eatting some grilled fish. ^.^
>Lyrae *koffkoffahem* "Hi Ryan ^_^;"
>Yuffie continues to plow through her food with obvious delight. O^.^O
>Ryan takes a seat. He looks down, and asks, "Didn't know you had a cat."
>Lyrae sweatbeads at Yuffie, and looks at Ryan, "Well we didn't before today..
She seems to be lost, so Kim and I decided to take her in and help find her
owner."
>Ryan hmms. "Sounds like a good idea."
>Ryan . o O ( Of course, once you feed 'em, you'll never get rid of 'em )
>Lyrae quietly says, "Though.. I almost wish we don't find whoever it is."
>Ryan looks at Lyrae. "Have you given it a name? At least until you find out
it's owner?"
>Lyrae glances at Ryan, "I was thinking Shiroko, but Kim liked 'Kitty' better.
So we're calling her Kitty for now."
>Cloud steps into the building off the street.
>Cloud has arrived.
>Lyrae glances over and waves to Cloud as she finishes up her dinner
>Cloud knocks on the door, peering in. Seeing Lyrae, he enters. "Good evening."
>Lyrae smiles quietly, "Good evening Cloud."
>Kitty finishs up her fish...licking the plate clean than moving to curl up
under the table. -.-
>Lyrae reaches over and picks up the plate, smiling at the feline.
>Cloud walks over to Lyrae, holding out the disk. "... I'm returning this to
you."
>Lyrae blinks, her expression falling for a brief second before she pulls up a
smile and takes the disk, "...thanks." She looks around and tucks it into her
pocket.
>Lyrae clears her throat, "Either of you want anything to drink?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "... No, I'm fine"
>Cloud says, "... water." He looks over at Ryan, rubbing his chin.
>Lyrae glances towards Cloud, nodding and getting up, stepping over to the
fridge for one of the bottled waters.
>Yuffie finally finishes her salmon cake. *_*
>Lyrae grins at Yuffie, "Not too spicy was it?"
>Yuffie shakes her head. "Nope! Was just right!"
>Kitty stands up and quietly streachs under the table.
>Lyrae takes out a bottled water and nudges the fridge closed, "Good." She walks
towards Cloud, holding the bottle off, then erps, "Oops.. almost forgot to turn
off the oven."
>Cloud says, "..."
>Ryan looks over at Cloud. Okay, what have you got planned now, you schemer?
>Kitty walks out from under the table...and starts walking over toward the back
room....
>Lyrae sets the bottle on the table for him, keeping her smile plastered on her
face and steps over to the oven, reaching over and turning it off.
>Lyrae clasps her hands behind her back, leaning against the counter, tapping
her foot against the floor lightly, pondering.
>Cloud takes the bottle, and then looks carefully at Lyrae, before heading over
to sit next to Ryan as he drinks.
>Lyrae misses Cloud's look, pausing to get herself another soda n.n
>Felicia steps through the small door into the back room of the church.
>Felicia has left.
>You mumble, "Have you spoken to Janus yet?" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "Have ..... ..... to Janus ..... .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "... I didn't see him. Hmmm. What we need is someone to sneak in
and scout..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... ..... see him .. Hmmm .. What .....
need is someone ..... ..... in ..... ..... .. .. .." to Ryan.
>Lyrae pikus softly, glancing up. o O ( Did I just hear my brother's name? )
>You mumble, "Somehow, I don't think any of us qualify... wait..." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... .. ..... don't think any ..... us ..... .. ..
.. wait .. .. .." to Cloud.
>Ryan turns to look at Yuffie.
>You mumble, "Well, we have a distraction, at least" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... .. ..... have a ..... .. at least" to Cloud.
>Cloud turns to look at Yuffie. His eyes widen. Oh no... no. You've GOT to be
kidding.
>Cloud mumbles, "You're... joking." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "You're .. .. .. joking .." to Ryan.
>Lyrae glances at the gent's, then at Yuffie, and back to Ryan and Cloud. "..."
o O ( ? )
>Ryan looks at Yuffie again.
>You mumble, "You're right, that would be too cruel." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "You're right .. ..... would be ..... ..... .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "... to them..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... them .. .. .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "To EVERYBODY" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... EVERYBODY" to Cloud.
>Cloud pauses, rethinking what he just said. Hmmm.
>Ryan crosses his arms and leans back in his pew, pondering.
>Lyrae . o O ( Everybody what? )
>Cloud mumbles, "... why not?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... not .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "You have to talk her into it." to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... ..... to talk ..... into ..... .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "Me? Why me...?" to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "Me .. ..... ..... .. .. .. .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "You seem to know her better. I only met her last night =.<" to
Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "You ..... ..... know ..... better .. I only met her
..... ..... ..... .. <" to Cloud.
>Lyrae shakes her head absently and walks over to collect Yuffie's plate,
turning to the small 'sink' to wash the plates.
>Cloud mumbles, "... you have a point." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... ..... a point .." to Ryan.
>Cloud looks over to Yuffie, waiting to watch her attention.
>Ryan nods to Cloud. "As always."
>Yuffie glances at Cloud, then blinks. o.o . o O ( Hey, it's the Spiky Haired
Guy. )
>Nice knowing you, Cloud
>Cloud beckons to Yuffie while Lyrae isn't looking.
>Lyrae has her back turned to the group, silently washing the plates.
>Yuffie blinks at Cloud, then looks around to see if he's gesturing to any other
beautiful, feminine, shinobi. *u.u* *ahem* Okay okay, fine, in Yuffie's
dreams. ;.;
>Yuffie stands up and walks on over to Cloud. "... erm... what?" o.o
>Cloud indicates a seat between him and Ryan, keeping an eye on Lyrae.
>Ryan slides AWAY from Cloud o.o
>Lyrae pays no mind to the conspirators.. she frowns at a scratch on a plate and
scrubs at it.
>Yuffie blinks at the seat, then at Cloud, then at Lyrae, then at the seat
again, then takes the seat. o.o
>Cloud says, "..."
>I mean literally. ^_^ She's holding it up! ^_^
>Yuffie taptaps her foot. c.c "Now what?"
>Cloud mumbles, "Listen, you're a ninja, right...?" to Yuffie Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "Listen .. ..... ..... ninja .. ..... .. .. .. .." to
Yuffie Ryan.
>Yuffie leans over, holding the chair out of the way. c.c She nods. c.c
Lyrae sighs softly as she dries the plate, humming softly.
>Cloud mumbles, "Hmmm. Does this means you're good at reconnaisance and sneaking
into places you shouldn't be...?" to Ryan Yuffie.
>Cloud mumbles, "Hmmm .. Does this ..... you're good ..... reconnaisance
and sneaking ..... ..... ..... shouldn't be .. .. .. .." to Ryan
Yuffie.
>Ryan listens innocently, twiddling his thumbs. No scheming here, nope nope
>Yuffie nodnods, then whispers. "... yeah... at least, I think I should be..."
c.c
>Lyrae finishes drying the dishes and walks in the trio's general direction..
not towards them per se, just going to check out the damage to the floor when
Yuffie fell out of the rafters. She shoots a curious glance towards them as she
passes..
>Cloud darts a look at Ryan. Hey, get in here!
>Ryan shakes his head slowly. Oh no, you're on your own.
>Yuffie looks rather strange, holding a chair behind her back while leaning
close to Cloud. o.o;
>Lyrae stops short, "Yuffie?"
>Cloud darts Yuffie a look. Don't say anything.
>Yuffie looks over at Lyrae, blinking. She crosses her hands behind her back,
trying to hide the chair. o.o
>Lyrae saw the chair. She looks puzzled, the mumbled conference forgotten, "Why
are you holding onto my chair? o.o"
>Ryan holds his head in his hand, and groans. "..."
>Yuffie speaks, blatantly. "Cause the Spiky Haired Dude wanted me to?" o.o
>Lyrae quietly says, "If you wanted to sit down, just sit down. You don't need
to take the chair with you, the pews are clean o O ( Now. )"
>Lyrae blinks, "I don't think he meant for you to ..actually physically pick it
up."
>Cloud slowly lowers his head. Why me, lord?
>Yuffie ohs, then sheepishly sets it down back between Cloud and Ryan. ^_^;
Actually, her aim is off and she tries to put it on Cloud. o.o
>Lyrae smiles and walks towards the front of the church, kneeling and checking
out the damage to the floor.
>Better you then me, Cloud
>>CRUNCH<
>Yuffie proceeds to try sitting on the chair, not even bothering to see if it
was placed right. c.c
>Lyrae blinks, lifting her head at the noise, "Yuffie.."
>Cloud slowly slides down the pew, looking like he's praying. With Yuffie trying
to climb on his head. @.@
>Yuffie struggles to seat herself upon the chair, glancing over at Lyrae. "Yes?"
^_^
>Yuffie is wearing extra heavy boots with spiky soles. :D
>Lyrae quietly says, "..The chair is supposed to be on the floor."
>Lyrae quietly says, "And..Cloud isn't a chair."
>Cloud sinks some more into the pew. Ow.
>Ryan promises to buy you asprin later o.=
>Yuffie blinks, turning to look at the chair and good ol' misbegotten hormonal
Cloud and OOPS! "Sorry!" She sweatdrops, then shifts the chair over to the
floor. ^^; c.c;
>Ryan sweatdrops again, placing his head in his hands
>Cloud will remain safely unconscious.
>Lyrae quietly says, "Is he okay? o.o He's not moving.."
>Ryan asks, "C... Cloud? You breathing?"
>Cloud cannot answer if he's unconscious. o.o
>Yuffie reaches over to poke Cloud. "Hey, Mister, wake up?" o_O;
>Lyrae gets to her feet and walks towards the group o.o
>Yuffie clamps a hand over Cloud's mouth and pinches his nostrils shut with the
other. o.o
>Lyrae quietly says, "Yuffie You're going to suffocate him.."
>Ryan blinks. "H... Hey!" He looks over at Lyrae. "Got any smelling salts, or
something?"
>Yuffie smiles! "But it'll wake him up since he needs oxygen!" ^_^
>Lyrae nods at Ryan and hurries into the bathroom.
>Ryan wrenches Yuffies hands free before she gives Cloud brain damage O.o;
>Cloud says, "... ...... .... ........................................"
>Yuffie yeeps as she's forced to let go, nearly tearing off Cloud's iddy biddy
nose in the process. 0.0
>Lyrae scoots out of the bathroom with the smelling saltss, kneels by Cloud's
head and waves it under his nose, "Wakey Wakey.."
>Yuffie reaches out to pluck the salts from Lyrae's hand and pour the contents
into Cloud's nose. c.c
>Ryan stops her, thankfully. See? I look out for Cloud. Now and then.
>Cloud wakes up... just in time to see Yuffie holding those salts. O_O!
>Lyrae looks down at Cloud, then at Yuffie o.-
>Cloud says, "..." as he slowly sits up, rubbing his head. "..."
>Yuffie begins to wonder if Cloud is in reality a Mime... or the Hero from
Secret of Mana. c.c
>Ryan elaborates, for Cloud. "She droped a chair on your head."
>Lyrae gets to her feet as Cloud starts moving about, and raps Yuffie lightly on
the head n.n
>Cloud says, "Oh..." He sighs, rubbing his head some more.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... ..... Yuffie ..... such a ..... idea .. .. .."
to Cloud.
>Lyrae quietly says, "Want some aspirin? We have somein the bathroom.."
>Cloud looks up at Lyrae, then nods quietly.
>Lyrae nods and takes the smelling salts back from Yuffie and heads off.
>Yuffie rubs her forehead, blinking. o.o
>Cloud mumbles, "... I think we should send her." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. I think ..... ..... send ..... .." to Ryan.
>You mumble, "If only to get her out of HERE" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... only ..... get ..... ..... of ....." to Cloud.
>Lyrae steps back out with the aspirin and a glass of water, walking over to
>Cloud to look up at him, holding 'em out. She pauses to look at Yuffie >.>;
>Cloud nods quietly, before reaching out to take the pain-relief kit. ".. thank
you, Lyrae."
>Yuffie is still rubbing her forehead. -.o
>Lyrae glances back at Cloud and manages a faint smile, nodding quietly as she
walks over to Yuffie, "What're you rubbing your forehead for still..?"
>Cloud gulps down the aspirin with his water, then puts the glass down on the
pew.
>Cloud mumbles, "You talk to her..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "You talk to ..... .. .. .." to Ryan.
>Yuffie lowers her hand, smiling at Lyrae. "Massaging." ^_^
>Lyrae pats Yuffie on the shoulder and grins, then pauses, "I think we should
get a throw rug to cover that for a bit.."
>Cloud starts picking splinters out of his hair.
>Ryan blinks at Cloud
>Lyrae taps her foot against the dented part of the floor.
>Cloud says, "...what?"
>Yuffie blinks. O.o "A throw rug for my forehead?" o.o
>Yuffie pictures herself wearing a rug on her face. 9.9
>Lyrae blinks at Yuffie and clamps a hand over her mouth, catching herself
before she busts into giggles
>Lyrae shakes her head, "Nono, I meant this.." *points at the floor*
>Yuffie eyes the floor, uneasily. "You want me to cover my forehead with the
floor?" @_@;
>Lyrae chokes
>Ryan groans. "..."
>Cloud mumbles, "She must have incredible luck to live so long with that kind
of..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... must ..... incredible ..... ..... live .....
..... ..... ..... kind of .. .. .." to Ryan.
>Ryan nods to Cloud
>Lyrae shakes her head, grinning faintly, "I meant cover the dent with a
throwrug.."
>Cloud mumbles, "Go talk to her." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... ..... ..... her .." to Ryan.
>A fly buzzes into the room...
>You mumble, "Yuffie...? Do I HAVE to? o.o;" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, "Yuffie .. .. .. .. ..... I ..... ..... .. o .. o;"
to Cloud.
>Cloud goes back to rubbing his hair.
>Yuffie glances at the fly, plucks a splinter from a pew, then flicks it at the
insect, pinning it to a painting. ^_^
>Cloud mumbles, "... remember the disk..." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... ..... disk .. .. .." to Ryan.
>Yuffie turns back to Lyrae. "Oh, okay. So what about my forehead?" ^^;
>Ryan sighs. "Hey, Yuffie...?" . o O ( I'm doomed. )
>Lyrae shakes her head at Yuffie, "Nothing." She blinks, glancing over at the
painting annd walks over to it, pulling the splinter out.
>Yuffie glances at Ryan. "Yah?" ^_^
>You mumble, "... What do we need her to do again once she's in?" to Cloud.
>Ryan mumbles, ".. .. .. ..... do ..... need her to do again once
she's ..... .." to Cloud.
>Cloud mumbles, "Find out where Lyrae's mother is.." to Ryan.
>Cloud mumbles, "..... ..... ..... ..... mother is .. .." to Ryan.
>Lyrae pauses, glancing towards Cloud.
>Ryan turns to Yuffie, forcing a grin ^_^;
>You mumble, "Hey, I know a place that has all SORTS of cool stuff..." to Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... .. ..... know a ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... cool ..... .. .. .." to Yuffie.
>Yuffie leans over, blinking at Ryan. "...... cool stuff? Really?" c.c
>Lyrae blinks at Cloud's look..then shrugs to herself and turns away again.
>You mumble, "Yeah, all sorts of nifty technology, guns, wierd stuff..." to
Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... .. ..... sorts of nifty ..... .. guns .. wierd
..... .. .. .." to Yuffie.
>Ryan winks at Yuffie
>Yuffie beams a smile at Ryan. "... where is this place?" *_*
>Ryan eheh's quietly...
>You mumble, "I'll tell you on one condition..." to Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... ..... you on one ..... .. .. .." to Yuffie.
>Lyrae glances over at Yuffie and Ryan, then Cloud. o O ( ...hn.. what's with
those three anyway? -.o )
>Yuffie nodnods. "What's the condition?" c.c
>It's Cloud's turn to look perfectly innocent.
>Yuffie doesn't whisper. n.n
>Ryan mumble a variety of epithets under his breath =.=
>You mumble, "They have a girl... kinda like Lyrae, but a bit older... you have
to get her out. If you can do that, you can swipe all you want." to Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "They ..... ..... ..... .. .. .. kinda ..... ..... ..
..... ..... bit older .. .. .. you have to ..... ..... out ..
..... you can ..... ..... .. you ..... swipe ..... you want .." to
Yuffie.
>Lyrae blinks.
>Yuffie blinks, curiously. "... that's it?" o.o
>Cloud stands up, heading towards Lyrae. "Ah... Lyrae? Er... ah..." *rubs his
head*
>Ryan nods
>Lyrae arches her right eyebrow at Cloud, "Mm?"
>Cloud is just trying to keep her distracted, honest! Ah, erm... "Where's Derek?"
>Yuffie taps her lips, thoughtfully. "Hrmn..." -.o
>Lyrae shakes her head, suitably distracted, "Derek? I don't know. Probably went
out for a walk or something." She blinks with a 'why are you asking -me-?' look.
>Cloud asks, "... ... ... do you know when he'll be back?"
>Yuffie SMILES at Ryan and nods! "I'll do it! I'll save the girl and loot the
place!" ^_^
>Yuffie <---- bounces really enthusiastically too. :D
>Lyrae shakes her head at ..... She looks at Yuffie.
>No, Tifa bounces. You jump.
>Cloud groans mentally at Yuffie's excuberation. He steps in front of Lyrae,
trying to hide Yuffie from view.
>Yuffie (OOC) BAPBAPBAPS the spoofer. ;.;
>Lyrae blinks and looks at Cloud
>Ryan sweatdrops. "Er... yes."
>Yuffie <---- hops then. =.=
>Cloud asks, "... excuse me?"
>Lyrae . o O ( What on earth is going on? )
>Lyrae quietly says, "...I don't know when Derek will be back." She clasps her
wrist behind her back o O ( -.- ))
>You mumble, "Think you can manage that?" to Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... you ..... ..... ..... .." to Yuffie.
>Cloud says, "Ah, hmm. I need to talk to him..."
>Yuffie nods at Ryan. "Yuppers. Will do!"
>Lyrae blinkblinks, her jade eyes darkening slightly. o O ( -.- ... ) She blinks
again, "Well if I see him I'll tell him you're looking for him."
>Ryan . o O ( This is probably a VERY bad idea... )
>You mumble, "Well, it's called Sensou enterprises, and they have real good
security..." to Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "Well .. it's ..... Sensou ..... .. and they .....
..... ..... security .. .. .." to Yuffie.
>Cloud says, "Hmm-hmmm!" trying to make enough noise to cover up Ryan and
Yuffie's conversation. "Oh... er... what about Janus?"
>Cloud is really reaching now, isn't he, Lyrae?
>Ayup.
>Yuffie blinks. "What's Zen So?" o.o
>Yep. Lyrae takes a half step backwards as Cloud's voice raises just slightly.
"Janus? I think he went to the p.." She pauses.. o O ( Zen So? Some sort of
Philosophy..? )
>Ryan grits his teeth =.=
>Cloud says, "... to the where?"
>You mumble, "Sensou enterprises, a big company" to Yuffie.
>Ryan mumbles, "..... enterprises .. a ..... ....." to Yuffie.
>Lyrae glances back at Cloud, "Oh, to the p.." She blinks again. o O (
...enterprises? )
>Cloud exclaims, "The... where?" Come on, Yuffie, get a clue and lower your
voice!
>Lyrae blinks, "The Park."
>Yuffie turns to face Cloud, smiling. "Ryan said the Sense-O Enterprise or
something." ^_^
>Ryan clutches his head in his hands and curses blue murder under his breath
>.<
>Cloud . o O ( ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! )
>Cloud turns to Yuffie, smiling. "Oh?"
>Alhana has arrived.
>Lyrae asks, "What was that?"
>Alhana slips in quietly from the front door, closing it behind her without a
sound..
>Yuffie nods. "Yeah... funny, name, eh?" She rubs her neck. "I'm gonna go raid
it for stuff and help someone out."
>Lyrae crosses her arms, blinking. o O ( Raid what? )
>Ryan beats his head on the pew >.<
>Cloud makes a SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! motion with his lips, turning his back on
Lyrae.
>Lyrae blinks. o.o -.-;
>Yuffie continues to explain about what she and Ryan was talking about. "You
see, they want me to go infiltrate this place with me awe-inspiring ninja
skills." :D
>Derek has connected.
>Lyrae turns to Alhana, missing Yuffie's explanation, "Hi Alhana."
>Alhana blinks... o O ( What's going on..? The people down the street described
Cloud perfectly, but why would he be in a church...? )
>Ryan beats his head on the pew harder
>Cloud would join Ryan if he could. *groans inwardly*
>Alhana smiles faintly at Lyrae, inclining her head. No point in being subtle
now. "Hi, Lyrae.."
>Cloud tilts his head, looking over at Alhana. "..." Phew.
>Lyrae smiles faintly right back, then looking at the conspirators. -.o
>Derek sits up suddenly, totally awake, as Ryan bangs his head off the pew . o O
( Someone at the door? ) o_o
>Lyrae leans against the wall, looking at the ceiling. 9.9 "...."
>Alhana walks over to Cloud, nodding to him. "Strife.." she says simply in
acknowledgement.
>Derek looks over, "Oh, it's just you guys.." He yawns and stretches, then rakes
his fingers through his hair to try and get it into some resemblence of order..
>Ryan sits up, forehead bruised x.x
>Cloud asks, "... Starbreeze." He blinks, turning to look at Derek. "..." Not at
the park, eh?
>Lyrae thought he was out, what do you want from me? o.o
>Alhana just sort of -stares- at Ryan momentarily. "....What the hell's with
you?" she asks undiplomatically, hands on her hips.
>Derek rubs at his eyes as he stands up, glancing around, "Hey, what's goin' on?"
>Lyrae . o O ( They're all nuts if you ask me -.-; )
>Lyrae looks at Ryan/Cloud/Yuffie, "Good question." She mutters under her breath.
>Cloud looks over, then walks over to Derek, a serious look on his face. Hope
this goes better than Yuffie.
>Lyrae sighs softly and walks to the back of the room, setting about doing stuff.
>Ryan exhales. No reason to be secret now. He exclaims, in a loud voice, "Yes
Yuffie, we want you to gfo to Sensou and break someone out."
>Yuffie nods. "You already told me that." o.o
>Cloud sits down next to Derek just as Ryan shouts that out.
>Lyrae didn't hear it in any case ^_-
>Cloud mumbles, "..... .. ah .. .. .. ..... ..... ..... ..... .." to
Derek.
>Ryan says, "Can you do it? Sensou's on Fenris"
>Derek blinks and then nods to Cloud once..
>Alhana frowns, glancing at Cloud, a look of surprise on her face. "Cloud.. are
you out of your MIND!?! Sending a girl into that nest of bastards like Kataki??"
>Derek mumbles, "..... ..... .. ..... .. what's the ..... ..... .." to
Cloud.
>Lyrae looks up from theo ther part of the church o O ( Jeez they sure are loud
now..Wonder what they're arguing about? )
>Ryan turns to look at Alhana. "That is why we'll be causing a distraction at
the front door."
>Ryan . o O ( Now, anyway x.x )
>Yuffie blinks as she listens, quietly. o.o
>Lyrae pauses and pokes her head out of the back, "Hey guys I need to restock on
drinks, I'll be back in a little bit."
>Lyrae . o O ( There, now they can yell/scream/whatever as long as they like.
-.- )
>Lyrae leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Lyrae has left.
>Cloud groans, deciding to continue talking to Derek, and praying Alhana doesn't
come over and yell in his face. "Derek, Ryan and I... we're talking about
breaking Lyrae's mother out of Sensou."
>Ryan bows his head. "..."
>Derek watches Lyrae as she heads out . o O ( Hope she'll be..wha? ) He stares
at Cloud, "What, are you out of your friggin' mind, Cloud?!?" Nah, he'll yell
for her, "No way, her mom's been dead for years now, that can't be her!" -_-
>Cloud says, "..." as he looks over at Ryan. "We saw the evidence..."
>Derek gets to his feet, regarding Cloud with his gaze, "You honestly think that
this would help Lyrae out? You'd send her into shock, you idiot! No way, I'm
not helping.."
>Alhana stares at Cloud as well as though he's lost his mind. "Strife, are
those spikes weighing down on your head again?? She's said before, her mother's
been dead for years!! You have any idea how much that would hurt her to see..."
she blinks at Derek. o.o
>Ryan says, plainly. "She is not dead."
>Ryan says, "And I'm NOT going to leave her in Sensou's hands."
>Cloud nods... "They're doing... things to her..."
>Derek says, "Dammit, that CAN'T be her mom! She's dead! That's got to be a
clone or something.."
>Ryan exhales. "... Either way... we can't leave her."
>Yuffie sits down and starts doodling on the floor with a marker. c.c
>Cloud nods quietly. "... Lyrae already... knows."
>Cloud looks over at Ryan for confirmation.
>Ryan nods to Cloud. '...
>Derek crosses his arms, "You're crazy.. Abso-friggin'-lutely crazy."
>Cloud says, "... she saw the evidence, Derek. She was the one who got it..."
>Derek scowls, "Who's idea was this then?"
>Alhana stares at Cloud a long moment, fists upon her hips. Her deep green eyes
watch him closely, betraying little enough of what she's feeling except perhaps
anger. At last she says, turning towards the door and speaking over her
shoulder, "...Fine. You go try showing off your testosterones, boys. I'm going
to go talk to Lyrae. Have fun, Strife.. I hope this doesn't hurt her any more
than she's already been through."
>Alhana leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Alhana has left.
>Derek . o O ( There's no way it was her.. )
>Cloud says, "... I don't know. Lyrae came back to the bar holding the disk..."
>Ryan nods to Cloud. "Which she got from Sensou. Somehow."
>Derek asks, "Cloud, who's idea was it to try and get this person who's supposed
to be her mother out of there?"
>Cloud looks at Ryan. "Er... we both... but... you should have seen the
evidence, Derek."
>Ryan pulls out his laptop. "Who has the disk now?"
>Cloud says, "... Lyrae." . o O ( I returned it back to her. x.x )
>Ryan frowns.
>Cloud says, "I don't want to go back and ask her for it." He looks at Derek.
>Derek continues to scowl, "Fine. I'll go see what the hell this is all about."
>Cloud nods, looking at Yuffie.
>Derek straps his sword across his back and heads out the doors..
>Derek leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Derek has left.
>Yuffie is drawing an SD Cloud. ^_^ With horns and fangs. o.o
>Ryan says, "... This isn't going well."
>Cloud sighs. "... should Yuffie go anyway, for reconnaisance?"
>Ryan says, "Lyrae won't like it."
>Cloud asks, "... any ideas?"
>Yuffie now proceeds to doodle Ryan with a large baseball bat, beating in
Cloud's spiky hair and horns. c.c
>Ryan doesn't stop Yuffie <.<
>Ryan sighs, and nods to Cloud
>Cloud rubs his head. "... thank you Yuffie. Ah... anytime you're ready to go."
>Yuffie looks up at Cloud, capping her pen. "Want me to go now?" ^_^
>Cloud . o O ( Yes, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase! O.O )
>Cloud says, ".. no, go ahead, rest first."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck ^^;
>Yuffie rubs the back of her neck, imitating Ryan. "But I'm not tired." n.n
>Ryan narrows his eyes =.=
>Lyrae steps into the building off the street.
>Lyrae has arrived.
>Lyrae stalks in, her eyes narrowed, "Cloud?"
>Ryan blinks and looks up as Lyrae reenters
>Lyrae places her hands on her hips, leaning her weight to her left as she drums
her finger along her thigh, frowning.
>Cloud says, "... yes?"
>There's a big doodle on the ground with marker. :D It depicts an SD Ryan
beating in an SD Cloud's spiky hair and horns. c.c
>Lyrae glances at the doodle on the ground and sweatbeads, then looks at Cloud,
..her annoyed expression shifting to to a neutral one.
>Lyrae quietly says, "Just what's going on? -.-"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck, letting Cloud handle this o.o;
>Cloud says, "... ah, er..." He rubs his head, looking at Ryan. "It... it's
Tifa's birthday soon, and..."
>Lyrae blinks, "Tifa's birthday?"
>Lyrae frowns a little, puzzled, "Then..what was with the secrecy.." She
indicats Yuffie and Ryan.
>Lyrae . o O ( -.- It's not like I KNOW the girl that well anyway. )
>Cloud says, "... we, uh, wanted to surprise her."
>Ryan shrugs meekly n.n;;;;
>Lyrae asks, "..... When is it?"
>Lyrae . o O ( -.- *taptap* )
>Yuffie glances at Cloud. "We did?" o.o
>Ryan looks at Cloud >.>;
>Lyrae looks at Yuffie.. then at Ryan.
>Cloud says, "... Thursday."
>Ryan . o O ( We're ALL doomed ^^;;; )
>Lyrae quietly says, "How nice..." She doesn't look like she buys it.
>Cloud sweatdrops just a bit.
>Lyrae . o O ( *sigh* )
>Ryan grins, the same type of grin a small child gives when they're caught with
the hand in the cookee jar
>Lyrae looks at Ryan, then Cloud..then Yuffie, "I'm going back out."
>Lyrae leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Lyrae has left.
>Ryan twiddles his thumbs. "..." ^^;
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Ryan says, "You may want to be out of town on Thursday."
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Yuffie o.o
>Cloud rubs his neck, sighing.
>Ryan just kinda grins warily
>Yuffie stands up and walks up behind Cloud to rub his neck. o.o
>Ryan blinks o.o;
>Cloud blinks. "... Yuffie...?"
>Yuffie pokepokes and rubs. o.o "Yah?" o.o
>Cloud says, "What are you doing?"
>Yuffie smiles. "Rubbing your neck. I'm bored." ^_^
>Cloud says, "... ... ... thank you. But I... ah, I can do this." *rubs his neck
some more*
>Yuffie blinks, then sighs. "Oh, okay." She lets go and walks over to a pew
and begins to carve into the back of it. c.c
>With her TEETH! BWA-HAHAHAHA... erm... I mean with a nail. c.c
>Ryan blinks. "H... hey! Don't deface the furniture!"
>Cloud asks, "... Yuffie. Ah... if you're bored, perhaps you should... check the
territory?"
>Yuffie continues to carve. c.c "But it's dark now, and I don't have any
night-vision goggles." c.c
>Cloud asks, "... where are yours, then?"
>Ryan holds his head in his hands again.
>Yuffie shrugs. "Dunno if I ever had any."
>Cloud says, "I thought Ninjas had excellent night vision..."
>Yuffie smiles, grinning at Cloud. "Oh! We do! But these days most of us
prefer hi-technology to help us out a bit with that kinda thing. I mean, I can
see in the dark, but it gives me a headache." c.c
>Ryan says, "... ... ..."
>Cloud says, "... get some aspirin."
>Yuffie holds out her hand for a bottle of aspirin. o.o
>Cloud points to the bathroom.
>Yuffie blinks, then goes to the bathroom. o_O;
>*slam*
>*clank*
>Ryan looks at Cloud. "..."
>*silence*
>*FLUSH*
>*click*
>Ryan looks at Cloud again. "..."
>Yuffie walks back out of the bathroom, then heads for Cloud. "Okay. So
where's the aspirin?" o.o
>Cloud says, "... in the medical cabinet."
>Yuffie blinks. "Where's that?" o.o
>Cloud points right back at the bathroom.
>Yuffie looks at the bathroom, then sighs. "But I already went!"
>Ryan sweatdrops o.o;
>Cloud says, "... the medical cabinet's in the bathroom."
>Yuffie pauses for a moment, then puts two and two together! "OH! Okay!" ^_^
She trots back into the bathroom and shuts the door.
>*grip*
>*tug* *tug*
>*YANK*
>*tug* *tug*
>*WRENCH* *crack* *WHAM*
>Cloud . o O ( ... ... ... )
>*click*
>Ryan . o O ( ... ... ... )
>Cloud . o O ( ... she didn't just try to take the medicine cabinet out of the
bathroom, did she...? )
>Yuffie walks back in, the medical cabinet hefted over one shoulder. o.o
"Okay."
>Cloud says, "... ... ..." . o O ( ... ... ... )
>Ryan puts his head in his hands and groans, as usual.
>Yuffie gives the medical cabinet a quick rattle, sticking her tongue out the
side of her mouth. ;a
>Cloud asks, "... you couldn't open the medical cabinet?"
>Yuffie blinks at Cloud, looking up. o.o "What, I thought you wanted me to
bring this with me. o.o"
>Cloud says, "..."
>Derek steps into the building off the street.
>Derek has arrived.
>Ryan has his head in his hands. Yuffie carries the medical cabinet
>Derek comes back in, looking around. He blinks, "Hey, isn't Lyrae here?"
>Yuffie is standing before Cloud, hefting the medical cabinet, once part of the
bathroom, on her shoulder. o.o
>Ryan blinks and looks up, and around
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Cloud looks back over at Derek, then slowly shakes his head.
>Derek suddenly scowls, "What happened? I know she came back here, so somebody
TALK!" -_-
>Yuffie glances at Derek. "I haven't seen her since earlier." o.o
>Ryan blinks and turns to Cloud. "..."
>Bits of plaster fall from the medical cabinet.
>Cloud says, "... She came back, and then left, that's all I know."
>Derek says, "Why did she leave again? There must be a reason.."
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck. "..."
>Yuffie blinks. "Maybe she was hungry?" o.o
>Cloud imitates Ryan's motion.
>Yuffie glances at Cloud, then Ryan, then joins in! *rub* *rub* *rub* n.n
>Derek hisses and whirls around, going right back out the doors, yelling out,
"Idiots!"
>Derek leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Derek has left.
>Cloud sighs.
>Cloud . o O ( ... )
>Ryan bows his head. "..."
>Yuffie sighs and bows her head in memorex imitation.
>Cloud says, "... maybe we should get going before we get into any more
trouble." He heads over to the medicine cabinet.
>Yuffie rattles the medicine cabinet. c.c
Cloud reaches out to open the cabinet.
>It seems jammed shut. o.o
>My... look at those finger marks marring the hinges. O.o;
>Cloud pounds on the cabinet. o.o
>Ryan sweatdrops -.-
>Yuffie blinks as Cloud pounds on the cabinet, then steps to the side. "Hey,
whatcha trying to do?" o.o
>Cloud says, "... get the aspirin."
>Cloud steps towards the cabinet again, reaching out to tug on it.
>Yuffie blinkblinks, then ohs! "Well, why didn't you just ask?" She tugs the
cabinet out of Cloud's reach, then sets it on the ground. Initiate Beating
Process. *CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG* >.<
>Ryan holds his head in his hands
>Yuffie continues to beat into the cabinet, smashing the door in after about
eighteen punches. -.o
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Ryan says, "... ... ..."
>Cloud stares at Yuffie with growing credulity.
>Yuffie pulls out the battered bottle of aspirin, it's contents mostly scattered
around in the inside of the cabinet, then holds it out to Cloud. "Here you go!"
>Cloud takes the bottle... takes two aspirin, then wordlessly hands it over to
Ryan.
>Yuffie would've just sliced the hinges if she had the full backpack up her
brain, but... well... there was a bit of damage and... *sniff*
>Ryan accepts @.@
>Cloud pops the aspirin. Straight.
>Cloud rubs his neck. "Ah, in any case, you have the aspirin for any headaches,
Yuffie. Ready to go...?"
>Yuffie holds up her hand. "One moment! Have you seen my cash box?"
>Ryan blinks
>Cloud says, "... what cash box?"
>Yuffie says, "The one Lyrae put all my stuff into. o.o"
>Cloud says, "... I don't know."
>Ryan says, "....."
>Yuffie pouts! "Mou! I need it with me when I go!" ;_;
>Cloud rubs his neck. "Where did you last see it?"
>Yuffie shrugs. ^_^; "Lyrae had it."
>Ryan says, "....."
>Cloud sighs. "Find Lyrae and ask her for it?"
>Yuffie blinkblinks. o.o "Where is she?" ^^;
>Cloud says, "... you're a ninja. Track her."
>Ryan stares blankly o.o
>Yuffie smiles and nods. "Okay then!" She hops to her feet, then runs out
without another word.
>Yuffie leaves the building, stepping outside.
>Yuffie has left.
>Ryan slowly... turns... to.. look... at... Cloud
>Cloud says, "... ... ..." and slowly rubs his neck. "... this... might not have
been a good idea."
>Ryan says, "I would have to agree."
>Cloud says, "... but if she can cause them even half as much trouble as she did
recently..."
>Ryan nods. He pauses. "And I still think you should leave town on Thursday."
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Cloud says, "... and take Tifa too..." musingly.
>Ryan says, "Hadn't thought of that."
>Cloud says, "... right."
>Cloud says, "I'll have to." He rubs his neck, sighing.
>Ryan crosses his arms. "Of course, you'll also need to find an excuse to tell
Tifa."
>Cloud says, "... ... ..."
>Ryan nods to Cloud. He stands up, and walks for the door. "I am going to bed."
x.x
>Cloud says, "... good night."
