And what is so wrong with the current time?

*in a much softer tone*

Celeste, please, for a while, just forget about the Goddess...just relax...
*she tries to shake the memories that seem to flood back... from Her. she gets closer to him and waits*
I... do not dance very well. The Voice... could not be touched...

*Taking her hand, Neut leads Celeste towards a somewhat clear area of the bar and proceeds to teach her to dance*

See, not so bad...you should allow yourself to have fun more often...

*grabs a guinness and starts upstairs*
wonder where Gael is...

*grabs himself a bottle of Rum and decides to head outside into the rain* its raining aweful hard here still yet tonight... wonder when its going to stop

*walks in... looks around at the wreakage... moves to the bar and takes a bottle off of the shelf. *
*while drinking, begins moving around the dark interior stopping at the piano. *

*Begins playing a slow, lonely tune.*

Well, hello Ju, how nice to see you...

OOC: a black snake machine as always, and I'm sitting right at the bar

Who are your friends?

OOC: a black snake machine as always, and I'm sitting right at the bar
Everyone in the club... the workers, the owners, even the patrons. that's the life of a bartender you know... everyone's a friend.

*switches to a jaunty tune on the piano*

May I phrase that differently: Have any close friends?

all my friends are close.

*begins playing the Blues*

*stops playing and turns to face the Snake.*
perhaps I can help you out if I knew what you're looking for.

*Turns back to the Piano and begins playing Bubblegum Rock*

*whirls in on light breeze* :confused: *wonders where everyone is....*

*Kuro helps herself to warm sake and relaxes in the silence...*

*a cloaked figure walks down the stairs*
where is everybody?

*wanders down* hello?

Hello Tink! I was wondering if something happened.... no one has been here today...

How are you doing?

hi Kuro, I'm ok thanks, you



*looks DF up and down* hello stranger

hm. least the owner is still around.
*smiles underneith the blue hood and makes his way to the remains of the bar*

*wonders about the silence....* Demonic Furbies, I don't believe we've met... I'm Kuro... Nice to meet you... *She looks down into her sake*

It's good to see you Tinks....

OOC: I thought maybe it ended last night since no one was here today...!!

*flicks the hood off and winks at Tink*
never could keep hidden from you for long. heya Tink.
*turns to Kuro and takes the hand*
name's DF.

hm. least the owner is still around.
*smiles underneith the blue hood and makes his way to the remains of the bar*
hi Tink, how are you?

oh well I'm just great thanks DF, you?

wonderful thanks, it's ever so nice to see you again Tink

nice to see you too DF, glad we had this little chat, bye

bye Tink

*smirks a bit* Aren't we chivalrous?! *grins* But I guess that's a good thing....

*flicks the hood off and winks at Tink*
never could keep hidden from you for long. heya Tink.
*turns to Kuro and takes the hand*
name's DF.
well I always keep my eyes open hoping that one day you might just grace us with your presence once again

you dont know the half of it...
sorry for doing the whole mysterious thing to you Tink. i just figured that since lasc came by a little while ago...

Hmmm.... I wonder what that was about....???? *sips more warmed sake*

OOC: Have I missed a lot again? I read thru last night and didn't see much and no posts today....???

Oh right... Tink you're helping Lasc w/a separate task are you not?

ooc : no, no. long history thing. i'm another one of the old timers making a reaperance for the end.

ic : *grabs a guinness and takes a seat at the bar*

ooc : no, no. long history thing. i'm another one of the old timers making a reaperance for the end.

Warm Guinness, or should I say room temperature Guinness? *heheheh* I always thought that odd...

meh. it gets the job done.
*shrugs and takes a sip*

you dont know the half of it...
sorry for doing the whole mysterious thing to you Tink. i just figured that since lasc came by a little while ago...
*cocks an eyebrow* Lasc came back so you thought you should ignore me...........?

no, figured you would be busy with other things. like upkeep of this place. i mean look at it; the walls are falling down.
*winks playfully at her and looks around the place*

I'm sorry if I'm a little confused here... Tink, are you helping Lasc with some other task unrelated to Vaga and Gael? *asks curiously* I swear he mentioned something like that a while ago.... *looks up*

ah, so she's in on the little lovers feud too. interesting.
on that subject, would you happen to know where i can find either Vaga or Gael?

Well, they don't usually show up until later in the evening. I think Gael does not have much time left... *looks up sadly* And I think Noire has also become cyber... I'm not sure....

*Maybe he can give me some info* I was wondering...

i'm sorry, Noire?
*cocks an eyebow*
must be another new person.

no, figured you would be busy with other things. like upkeep of this place. i mean look at it; the walls are falling down.
*winks playfully at her and looks around the place*
tbh *whispers* I've given up with this place, it's beyond help now, I'll probably leave in a couple of days

I'm sorry if I'm a little confused here... Tink, are you helping Lasc with some other task unrelated to Vaga and Gael? *asks curiously* I swear he mentioned something like that a while ago.... *looks up*
yeah, I'm not really involved with the Gael and Vaga thing

The evenings and nights are completely different in this club... *sighs into sake* Constant battles.... Noire and Grey (OOC: Jhenova)... I think Grey convinced her to go w/Aryel...

OOC: I can't remember how to spell the names... Areyel Aryel, Azael, Aezel... eek!

*whispers back*
ya, thats probibly a smart thing to do.

ooc : i think you mean atreyu.

yeah, I'm not really involved with the Gael and Vaga thing


That's the only thing I am involved with (to some extent). So something completely different is going on during the days... with Lasc on some quest? Is this the case? *Kuro asks a bit confused* I'm surprised there's even a club left in the morning after the destruction during the night...

tbh *whispers* I've given up with this place, it's beyond help now, I'll probably leave in a couple of days

OOC... IS it THAT bad? I just started in @ nights, and I know you started the whole thing Tinks... It seems like there are at least 2, if not 3 storylines...

I wish I could tell you what was going on with Lasc, I have absolutely no idea

ooc : i happen to know a bit about whats going on. if you have any questions feel free to TG me.

*whispers back*
ya, thats probibly a smart thing to do.

ooc : i think you mean atreyu.

OOC.. TY.. I'm tired.... What's so bad about it now? Because there are noobs??? Everyone is a newbie at some point, right?

OOC... IS it THAT bad? I just started in @ nights, and I know you started the whole thing Tinks... It seems like there are at least 2, if not 3 storylines...
ooc: well PC is ending so i might as well leave, I have no idea how many storylines there is at the minute, the only reason I'm still here is for Lasc

ooc : i happen to know a bit about whats going on. if you have any questions feel free to TG me.

OOC: TY DF... It's much appreciated... I know it's ending soon and 2 new threads are starting... I'm going to be out for a couple weeks, so I kind of was hoping to at least catch the end of this... Then I'll go into the new thread not knowing WTF is going on!

ooc : whoa. quadruple. nice.

ic : *leans back against the bar and takes another gulp of guinness*

ooc: well PC is ending so i might as well leave, I have no idea how many storylines there is at the minute, the only reason I'm still here is for Lasc


OOC: Well, you don't have to leave, you know! Has it really gone downhill?

ooc : whoa. quadruple. nice.

ic : *leans back against the bar and takes another gulp of guinness*
*sits up on the bar next to him* so how's things?

*sigh*
things are bad Tink. this whole titan business is screwing with the entire planet. i can't imagine it can take much more.

ooc : whoa. quadruple. nice.

ic : *leans back against the bar and takes another gulp of guinness*

OOC: oops... sextuple post! My puter's wonky! :P

So DF, why do you come here? *sips sake and stops breeze... Kuro's hair stops flowing behind her*

OOC: Well, you don't have to leave, you know! Has it really gone downhill?
ooc: there's no point in me staying, by Monday PC will be gone, I may as well just leave

normally? for the company and the free beer. but right now i'm here to help an old friend. more than one actually.

*sigh*
things are bad Tink. this whole titan business is screwing with the entire planet. i can't imagine it can take much more.

It's falling completely apart... I want to meet Atreyu... Vaga won't let me... It's the only way to get to Azael (sp)... I want to meet him as well. In person... No minions...

*sigh*
things are bad Tink. this whole titan business is screwing with the entire planet. i can't imagine it can take much more.
I really don't have a clue what's going on and I would much rather stay that way, I know things are bad and I'm really scared, I just need try and pretend like everything is normal

ooc: there's no point in me staying, by Monday PC will be gone, I may as well just leave

OOC: awwww.... :(

trust me. atreyu is not the type you just get to meet. you have to go through the proper channels. but i can't see why you'd want to meet him?

OOC: awwww.... :(
ooc: lol, i don't mind, it's time somebody else had a go at running things

ooc: lol, i don't mind, it's time somebody else had a go at running things


OOC: TG from me Tink

IC: I have my reasons... My OWN reasons... He seems to be the only one who can get me to Azael... I started with the "propper channels" and they wanted to make me "perfect". The offered me something I was born with anyway (wind, toxins, acid, poison, just through my breath or thinking about it)... but they thought I'd look lovely with a pair of extra arms... Ugh! They called me impure... I don't want to talk to those idiot minions... *getting a bit angry, Kuro's many blades start clanking in the wind*

the minions share the same beliefs as Atreyu. if they say thats what you should do, atreyu will do it to you, if he can.

the minions share the same beliefs as Atreyu. if they say thats what you should do, atreyu will do it to you, if he can.

That isn't my plan, and since I am able to become etherial and become the wind itself, usually toxic wind, I am not concerned about him trying to make me robotic... I only want to meet him because Vaga said it was the only way to meet Azael. Vaga said he would not allow me back if I left.

ya. Vaga can be pretty adament, but he has your best at heart. and meeting atreyu wont lead to Azael. he doesnt know where he is. if he did, he'd be concentrating on killing Azael rather than taking Vaga's fire token.

I was told the only way to Azael was through Atreyu. I personally couldn't care any less about Atreyu, other than that he's ruining everyone around me... Azael is the one I want to talk to... over sake perhaps? *chuckles*

*sigh*
you're just looking for trouble, arn't you. least you have the right town.

*sigh*
you're just looking for trouble, arn't you. least you have the right town.


Perhaps... but no one seems to have come up with an option I believe I could make happen... or at least try... *Azael is intelligent. As am I. He is manipulitive. As I can be. He is weak. I am not*

well, good luck with whatever you descide to do. we could use you back here on the home front though.

I think I'm gonna head off to bed, night Kuro


*hugs DF tightly* I know you're a busy man but if you get any free time at all before you have to leave again and you fancy keeping a poor, lonely girl company, you know where I am, if not, look after yourself and try to be careful *kisses him on the cheek and whispers in his ear* and just in case I never see you again, I love you *heads upstairs to bed*

*smiles at Tink and finishes off his bottle*
now, if you will excuse me Kuro, i have business to attend to.
*tosses the bottle out the window and heads up after Tink*

*Kuro finishes off her sake and her form fades into a light breeze out the door... I have a bad feeling. I can't be here tonight or ever again to help with anything... No matter what side I choose. And I haven't had the opportunity to choose. Says a prayer and hopes everyone will be safe and the world will not end, knowing everyone around her will be killed if it does, but Kuro will live on, as a breeze or solar storm moving on to another planet... sick of seeing worlds die, and beings die... Everyone has their own agenda and they are sticking to it. I can't help in a situation such as this. I thought maybe I could get the other tokens... trick Azael, should I be able to find him, and stop this madness. I don't believe there is a "chosen one"... It's a fantasy for those who have lost hope. A tear falls down her face sensing the horror that is to come... Complete destruction of the Earth or a nuclear winter type scenario... Good Bye my friends. I hope against hope I shall see you all alive again some day...*

OOC: Back in a couple weeks! Take care everyone! :fluffle:

*comes down the stairs, calm and collected, all but for the confused look in her eyes. she spent the night dancing last night... dancing! Of all things! With him! she remembers JuNii playing the piano. she goes to the piano and starts playing a soothing song from ages past*

*walks in to the sound of a piano*
OH GOD! i hate this type of music

*she turns to him and lifts a lock of hair, revealing a purple bump*

OOC:anything done to it?

ooc: besides the $3500 custom audio system? Not much...some off-road suspension parts, aftermarket brakes, Yokohama 31-10.50 tires, grill guard with a pair of ProComp 130W off-road lights, K&N air filter, custom tranny...that's bout it...

*a cloaked figure walks downstairs and makes for the bar*

*enters the club through the back door. Observes the people in the bar room, before passively asking...*

Have you guys seen anything of mine, lying around the place?

*she turns to him and lifts a lock of hair, revealing a purple bump*

*Chuckling, he replies*
You should really put ice on that, you know.

*enters the club through the back door. Observes the people in the bar room, before passively asking...*

Have you guys seen anything of mine, lying around the place?


*she turns to Planners*
Missing a body part or something?

OOC:nice, i have '00 dodge neon with a fart tip, lol

*looks at Celeste, then RA seeing who will make eye contact first*

Ya actually, I kind miss my chest, but I doubt I'd ever find it.
*looks at Celeste, then RA seeing who will make eye contact first*

*she looks up at his chest, remembering the shooting, and then at what's left of his face...she looks away quickly*

*walks across the room, to sit down one of the large chairs, next to the fireplace. He turns the chair, so that he can see the others clearly*

*she throws her hands in the air*
This is impossible. I hope the kitchen fridge still has power...
*she goes into the kitchen, in search of ice*

*she turns to Planners*
Missing a body part or something?


*she turns to stare at Neut and goes behind what remains of the bar to find the bar fridge...*


*Neut walks over to Celeste holding something behind his back. As he draws near, he reveals that he's carrying a baggie with a few cubes of ice inside.*

Celeste, here's some ice... *he says softly as he offers the baggie to Celeste*

*pretends to jump out of chair, and starts to slowly move across the room shadowfighting. He pretends to punch RA, before withdrawing and then reapproaches pretending to hold a sword underneath RA's chin*

*Neut walks over to Celeste holding something behind his back. As he draws near, he reveals that he's carrying a baggie with a few cubes of ice inside.*

Celeste, here's some ice... *he says softly as he offers the baggie to Celeste*

Thanks...
*she applies the ice to her bruise and goes back into the bar*

*she takes the bag, hesitantly looking up and away again*
Thanks...
*she applies the ice to her bruise and goes back into the bar*

*slowly, Neut follows Celeste back into the bar, turns, and retreats back to his corner where he sits in his normal fashion. His voice filters into her mind*

You are welcome to come sit with me if you would like, Celeste

*smirks and grabs a bottle of guinness, taking a seat at the bar*

*slowly, Neut follows Celeste back into the bar, turns, and retreats back to his corner where he sits in his normal fashion. His voice filters into her mind*

*she goes to the bar, rummages to find the ingredients to her drink, mixes it and goes to sit with Neut. she sips her drink*
... Thank you for teaching me how to dance... last night

... Thank you for teaching me how to dance... last night

*grinning at her, he replies*

You're welcome, Celeste. I've had many dance partners, few were as quick to learn as you. Did you sleep well last night?

*Saint Omen rubs his fingertips across the bar knowingly...a tear falls down his cheek...*

Guinness, please...

*grabs another guinness and hands it to the man*
there ya go stranger.

Thank you, sir...

*he pulls his hood down over his face...*

*grinning at her, he replies*

You're welcome, Celeste. I've had many dance partners, few were as quick to learn as you. Did you sleep well last night?

*she sips her drink, holding the ice to her forehead, trying to smile*
Yes, thank you. Quite... calm and peaceful actually.

*She yawned and stepped out of the shadows quietly. Grabbing a bottle of rum, she crossd directly to the window and took up the familiar position of staring out into the storm.*

*she sips her drink, holding the ice to her forehead, trying to smile*
Yes, thank you. Quite... calm and peaceful actually.


Ahh, perhaps you need to dance more often...

**deep within the caves, Vaga takes a break from work. all throughout the caves he had been preparing for the final battle. he had "convinced" the goblins that it was in their best interest to aid him. on the majority of the cave walls, tribal symbols now could be found. He pokes out of the cave opening on the cliff and jumps of, levitating himself up on top of the cliff. for a moment, he just stood there and looked in the direction of the club a few flashes of lightning illuminate his figure against the turbulant sky; then he turns and heads into the forest instead**

Ahh, perhaps you need to dance more often...

*she smiles and sips her drink again, careful not to look at him*

*she smiles and sips her drink again, careful not to look at him*


Would you care to dance, Celeste?

Would you care to dance, Celeste?

*she looks around at the other patrons, then looks back at Neut and shakes her head*
It... may not be the best time for that....

*the Saint watched nonchalantly as she strode across the room. he drank his pint and fingered his sword almost absently. his mission was simple...destroy her and all who follow her. and yet...he was strangely, drawn to her side...*

Some things never change...

*he knew he would die soon...very soon...it was only a matter of who wanted to come along for the ride...*

Barkeep! Another Guinness...per favore...

*she looks around at the other patrons, then looks back at Neut and shakes her head*
It... may not be the best time for that....

*Noticing her discomfort at the possibility of the other patrons watching her, Neut flashes a warm smile*

Perhaps...we could go to a different room?

*moves away from RA and continues his awkward shadow duel*

*slides over another one*
take it easy, eh? the night is still young yet.

*Noticing her discomfort at the possibility of the other patrons watching her, Neut flashes a warm smile*

Perhaps...we could go to a different room?

*she blushes and takes the ice bag away from her forehead*
Wh... the library, maybe? the ballroom, it still standing?

*slides over another one*
take it easy, eh? the night is still young yet.
Very young, indeed...

Thanks for the Guinness...

*he eyes the barkeep suspiciously...*

You and I, barkeeper...we seek the same ending to this madness...no?

*slides over another one*
take it easy, eh? the night is still young yet.


ooc: feelin a bit...Schizo...tonight?

*she blushes and takes the ice bag away from her forehead*
Wh... the library, maybe? the ballroom, it still standing?

*Neut wipes away a drop of water from her forehead*

The library will do...

*Neut stands up and extends his hand to Celeste*

Shall we?

ooc : well, you know he had to make an appearance.:rolleyes:

*He composes himself and stares down his foe. His movements become quicker and more complex. His expression is more serious, then his now familiar carefree attitude.*

ooc : edit your post so it quotes DF rather than Vaga.

*Neut wipes away a drop of water from her forehead*

The library will do...

*Neut stands up and extends his hand to Celeste*

Shall we?


*she gets up, shifting the ice bag from one hand to the other, and then stops, looking at the bag, eyes wide. she then grins sheepishly*

*Neut wipes away a drop of water from her forehead*

The library will do...

*Neut stands up and extends his hand to Celeste*

Shall we?

ooc: Isn't it burnt to the ground, or partially?

*she gets up, shifting the ice bag from one hand to the other, and then stops, looking at the bag, eyes wide. she then grins sheepishly*


*He chuckles...*

Yes, you could have already...but...you needed to realize it for yourself...

*Neut winks at Celeste, and then breaks out into a soft laughter*

Let's head to the library now, shall we?

ooc : edit your post so it quotes DF rather than Vaga.ooc:
Done.

My response kind of takes on a whole new meaning now...doesn't matter...I'll go with it...

ooc : oh well. stupid puppets.

ic : *cocks an eyebrow at the stranger*
how do you figure?

*He chuckles...*

Yes, you could have already...but...you needed to realize it for yourself...

*Neut winks at Celeste, and then breaks out into a soft laughter*

Let's head to the library now, shall we?

*she closes her eyes, find Her calm center. She can feel Her power coursing through her body, energizing and healing. to an attentive eye, she might seem like she glows. she relunctanly lets go and opens her eyes. without touching her forehead, she knows the bruise and bump are gone*

*the joisting becomes more dramatic, starts climbing over chairs, around the grand piano, under tables. His adversary is not backing down, this is a fight to the death*

You want to see an end to this madness, do you not? So do I.

Why, you might ask, do I care? Who the hell am I...?

Valid questions...valid questions I cannot answer...not yet...

First we must destroy the evil that has this place in it's grasp...

And we will, my friend...we will...

*With a sigh, she stepped outside. Atreyu had warned her. Opinion of her would change. They were shallow and opinionated. Spreading her wings, she took to flight, using tk when the living wing became to wet to support her. He would be waiting..*

OOC: Sorry guys, I had plans of stirring stuff up a bit, but I pushed myself waaay too hard today. Literally until the point where I passed out. So my arms look like several small kittens were hanging there but couldn't quite hold on, I can barely walk unassisted from muscle fatigue, and I feel surprizingly like I just survived a car crash. So it's sleepy time for me, and hopefully we can play later. Maybe I'll hurt less tomorrow.

*Neut gently takes hold of Celeste's hand and begins pulling her towards the library*

*she follows him. as they near the library, she takes the lead, gently caressing what is left of the door. she tries to push, but has to shove it open. the room is a mess. her sanctuary. ruined. she sighs*

ooc take care Gael!

Haha, I'll get you yet, fowl scum.
*His right hand begins to work furiously, amazingly he was able to jump halfway across the room, landing on a table. *
I am not done yet.

*she follows him. as they near the library, she takes the lead, gently caressing what is left of the door. she tries to push, but has to shove it open. the room is a mess. her sanctuary. ruined. she sighs*

*Neut grins...Celeste's perception changes and she sees the library as it used to be.*

Better...?

... right. as far as i can tell, the evil in this place has just flown the coup.
*smirks to himself and looks out into the storm as Gael disappears*
so it starts.

**vaga came to the grove that he had once used as a training ground. the round was now just a miz of ash and mud, but the large stone at the center of the clearing still stood intact. he walked over to it and climbed on top. he sat in a meditative position and let himself free, opening his beinng to the environment around him. he felt each raindrop before it hit, saw each flash of lightning before it struck. he felt Gael as she passed over the forest and knew she was gone from him for good**
it is done then. when next we meet, it shall be as enemies.

*Neut grins...Celeste's perception changes and she sees the library as it used to be.*

Better...?

*she looks around, her eyes glowing and full of tears*
Is this real?

*she looks around, her eyes glowing and full of tears*
Is this real?

Well...no. Perhaps with a lot of work it can look this way again... You were so sad when you saw the destruction here...I wanted...to help. So...I altered your perception of the room to how you remember it...

I am hit
*he glances at his left shoulder and then staggers backwards*
You've striked first, but I am not done, far from it.
*charges forward, swirling in circles, determined to finish his adversary*

*takes a sip of his drink and watches Jerry's theatrics*
wonder what that lad is up to...

Well...no. Perhaps with a lot of work it can look this way again... You were so sad when you saw the destruction here...I wanted...to help. So...I altered your perception of the room to how you remember it...

*she looks at him, her green eyes very bright and thankful... and sad*
Thank you, Neut... but please, take it away. I need to find a new library. I've always taken refuge in libraries, for some reason... but this one needs to die

*she looks at him, her green eyes very bright and thankful... and sad*
Thank you, Neut... but please, take it away. I need to find a new library. I've always taken refuge in libraries, for some reason...

As you wish...

*In a flash, Celeste's perception is returned to normal.*

Still care to dance?

*he lands his first blow, knocking his opponent to the ground*
You've fought well, but this is your end. Any final words*
*Standing in the centre of the room, he pretends to have his foot on the shadow's stomach, pointing his make believe sword at its chin*

As you wish...

*In a flash, Celeste's perception is returned to normal.*

Still care to dance?

*she offers a slight smile*
No music?
*she sighs*
Actually, seeing the library like this... i think i'd just like to go back to my room... and talk.

*she stops at they reach the staircase, looking at Jerry quizzically. she turns to look at Neut*
Would you mind warching over me tonight?
*she turns to look again at Jerry's theatrics before going up*

*chuckling, he follows after her*

Of course, Celeste...

[she walked in out of the rain and seated herself at the bar. lowering the hood on her black cloak, long red hair tumbled down her back.]

hello, everyone.

Is that all? Is that all you have left?
*He aggressively stabs his make believe opponent.*
Farewell....

*Looks up at the newcomer.*
Ah, hello friend...

[she smiled at Planners.]

my name is Jira... is there a bartender here? I'd like to get a red wine.. or can I just get one myself?

*she walked in out of the rain and seated herself at the bar. lowering the hood on her black cloak, long red hair tumbled down her back.*

hello, everyone.*picking the last of melted cheese out of his fur, Nekone turned to the stranger*

Hello...

OOC: FYI, Nekone is a large humanoid panther.

*picking the last of melted cheese out of his fur, Nekone turned to the stranger*

Hello...

OOC: FYI, Nekone is a large humanoid panther.

ooc: all righty, thanks for letting me know. :)

ic: what's new with everyone?

[indicates the wreck of the club]

and what happened here?

You could get a wine yourself, but if you don't mind
*grabs a bottle from behind the bar and hands it to Jira*
Here you go.

ooc: all righty, thanks for letting me know. :)

ic: what's new with everyone?

*indicates the wreck of the club*

and what happened here?well, I just tried a... Peiza? and found that Melted cheeze and fur really don't mix well...

the wreakage is caused by the current Storyline... the Elemental Titans are running amok and forces are being arrayed against them.

Hello Nekone, ya pizza is messy.

You could get a wine yourself, but if you don't mind
*grabs a bottle from behind the bar and hands it to Jira*
Here you go.

[she grins and grabs a glass, pouring herself some from the bottle.]

thanks... I'm sorry, I don't remember you telling me your name.

Where are my manners? My name is Jerry.

[Jira looks at the cheese in Nekone's fur and laughs.]

Let me know if you need any help.

ooc: all right... I figured as much from the reading I did of the PC... but just figured I'd ask anyway ic.

*she grins and grabs a glass, pouring herself some from the bottle.*

thanks... I'm sorry, I don't remember you telling me your name.
*Ears Droop in embarrasement*
Sorry... please call me Nekone...
*extends furry hand towards Jira.*

Where are my manners? My name is Jerry.

all right, Jerry then.

[she takes a sip of her red wine, and reaches out and shakes Nekone's hand.]

nice to meet you both!

*gets a drink of a whiskey for himself, but dejectedly sets it down on the bar. Instead of drinking*

[she glances at the bottle set on the counter, then to Jerry.]

Not thirsty
*you notice the three large holes in his chest and his unhealthy skin*
Not really been myself, since I came back.

[she looks at the holes and at his skin, and grins.]

you may want to get that checked out sometime... ;) I've actually seen worse. you see a lot of... interesting things when you're a healer... but other than that...

[she stands and stretches, yawning.]

I'm exhausted... I think I'm going to go to sleep.

[curling up in a chair by the fireplace, she pulls her cloak over her to keep warm.]

Good night, everyone...

ooc: gtg... later all.

ooc: g'night

*smiles at Nekone than stares out at the storm*

There must be someone that would arrive soon, there had to be.

*Comes downstairs... sighs, and goes to the piano*
*starts playing some ragtime.*

[she uncurls from the chair and stretches. looking around, she sees JuNii playing at the piano.]

g'morning.

well good morning to you... miss...?

well good morning to you... miss...?

[she grins]

sorry... you can call me Jira. what's your name?

well... I think I'm going to go for a walk. I'll see you later!

[she pulls her cloak on and lowers the hood, quickly braiding her long red hair. she walks out the door into the somewhat sunny day.]

[she grins]

sorry... you can call me Jira. what's your name?Ju... enjoy your walk.

*Kuro breezes over to see the club a disaster... again, no one here, she warms some sake, sits down and has a drink in silence, among the mess...*

*wanders downstairs* hey Kuro

*Kuro breezes over to see the club a disaster... again, no one here, she warms some sake, sits down and has a drink in silence, among the mess...**plays a slow waltz at the piano.*

Hello... both of you... I thought I was alone here... *smiles* Looks like I missed a bit of a fight last evening? *cocks eyebrow*
*sigh* looks that way

OOC: Ju, I put in a char. for a new RP... I saw you were in there too... It had just a couple people posting their chars... Do remember what it is, because I forgot to subscribe... :rolleyes:Found it, Corrupted and Conflicted is the thread... clicky (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=413826)

OOC: TY... I found it also... Is this actually a go?

IC: *So quiet in here today sips sake and looks down*

*starts attempting to tidy around a bit*

Let me help you with that... *feels a little stupid drinking while Tink is cleaning up*

thanks, not really much point but it's something to do, don't think i can just sit around doing nothing at the minute

*grins* You could drink! *chuckles*

thanks, not really much point but it's something to do, don't think i can just sit around doing nothing at the minute*Starts playing "Pink Panther"*
why... something bothering you?

*laughs* well I've been trying to cut down but I don't see what harm a couple of glasses *coughbottlescough* of wine could do me now and tidying up really is quite pointless *hops over the bar, and grabs a bottle of wine and couple of glasses* care to join me?

*Starts playing "Pink Panther"*

just this place

Any Shiraz back there??? I've had so much warm sake over the week I could use a change. *laughs*

*takes glass* Thank you. *looks up @ Tink and Ju* I haven't been here at the club that long, and other than trying not to be killed at night, it's been wonderful. *grins*

yeah, the annoying thing about this place is people only try to kill you when you don't wanna die, when you do they won't leave you to get on with it, though I guess the last bit turned out to be more of a blessing in the end

gladly.

I don't know who the other guy is but you should definately listen to DF when he says not to meet Atreyu

I was told I could only get to Azael through Atreyu... That is the only reason I wanted to meet him. I believe myself to be relatively safe from Atreyu as I can "demolecularize", if that' is the word? De-materialize into wind laced with poison... I'm not concerned about becoming robotic...

how many people were corrupted by that... Daemon?
I don't know

I... just don't fear him... if he isn't the way to Azael, Atreyu is not worth my time anyway....

--At the base of the crater, several rocks shifted slightly.--

"What are we going to do? They are too strong for us."

"We should wait a while for them to weaken."

"Those fools! They are the only obstacle. The rest are of no consequence."

"That is where you are wrong. They could be useful to destroy them."

"We must crush them all!"

"You are too hasty. Their death must be slow."

"No. They must be made to destroy each other. Preferably while the Titans walk."

"No, they must be made to destroy each other in the most damaging way"

"Enough! We must discuss the plan."
The area became quiet as a figure appeared.
"As you all know, the Tokens are critical to this world's fall. We must either capture them, unite them under a fiend, or destroy them, it matters not. Once that happens, this world will fall, and the rest will fall like dominoes."
An image of the world, ruined, appeared and a shockwave emitted from it, knocjing down the dominoes that had suddenly appeared

"So, how are we to get are hands on them?"

"We do not need to get our hands on them, we just need fools affected by you"

"Or we could make them fall to us and do it for us."

"But who? All that can would not help."

"As I said before, we shall make them fall"

"But who?"

"I have a target in mind, but first we must learn more of the relation between Gael and Nekone."

"But what good will that do? It will not help our cause."

"As I said, I have a plan."

"If it involves making others backstabing painfully, you have my support."

"Boss?"

"You have my support...if you tell me what it is..."

*In the club, Cyberist waited for those crucial to the plan...*

In the room Celeste and Nekone had left him Stag sat up suddenly, his lungs filled with daggers. He took a huge laboured breath after breathing shallowly for what seemed like an age
'...Ow......good lord....what happened.....' he stood up dizzily and almost immiadiatly his marks flared up-
Red?
He looked around wildly, somthing was really wrong, somthing didn't belong in the club, somthing powerful, and it was hurting him like firebrands

*she wakes up in Neut's arms, slowly regaining conciousness. As she wakes up, memories from the night before come flooding back... She remembers Neut walking her back to her room and then her changing into her night clothes while Neut sat and watched... reminiscing to Neut about the library...remembering many days and nights spent in one with Phil to alleviate her loneliness... and isolation. she slowly opens her eyes*

Good morning, Celeste...

Did you sleep well?

He walked painfully downstairs almost blind with a feeling of wrongness, he was sensitive to these things he knew, but he'd never felt this before. His body was being invaded with unfamiliar energy and he almost retched. He noticed Cyberist stnding in the bar and his vision narrowed. Was it.....him?
'What?....What are you?' He asked steadying himself against the bar

EDIT:
OOC: The lads beggered off :confused: :(

Stag looked down into his palm where he had gripped the river stone two days ago and noticed....a shard was embedded in it... It glowed when he touched it with his other hand. Was this what was causing the feeling? Or the man in the bar?
