Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room
Tifa's Seventh Heaven Bar has a campy feeling to it, primarily constructed of dark wood with occasional items for decoration.  Several worn tables grace the area near the door, looking beaten up from years of patrons.  The bar is more well kept, stocked with a vast amount of alcoholic beverages and components for mixed drinks.  The room is just a tad dimly lit, feeling cozy and familiar at the same time.  Other areas of interest are the entrance to the kitchen, and a porch with some comfy chairs.  All in all, the Seventh Heaven is a nice tribute to what someone can put together for a business if they try.  A machine for a game similar to pinball sits on the less used side of the room, sporting an "Out of Order" sign.  Most of the damage that was obvious only a little while ago is now repaired with more permenant fixes, so the bar once again is back to it's former self.
Ryuji_Yamazaki has arrived.
Opal is sitting at a table, knocking back a glass of wine, when Ryuji enters. She looks over, and brightens! "Yamazaki-dono! There you are! Get over here and get boozed, would you? This boring town is intolerable!"
Yamazaki's frame barely fits through the doorway as he enters. He grunts quietly at a man standing by the doorway then turns to that familiar voice, eyebrow raised. "Eh, Opal..?" A sharp toothed grin forms on his face as he walks over to her table. "Sure! Heh, whats on the menu?" He grabs the back of a chair at her table and pulls it out then sits down.
Opal beams up to Ryuji, her smile dazzling like a gem. She laughs, pleased for the company, and gestures to the nearly empty bar. "Anything they can bring you! It's on me!" She waves a waitress over, holding up her now empty wine glass. While the waitress is heading over, Opal looks back to her guest. "What have you been up to?"
Yamazaki belts out a loud laugh as he 'slams!' his big open hand down to the table. *whump!* "GREAT!" He grabs a napkin out of the holder and begins to fiddle with it as he speaks in his trademark gruff tone. "I haven't done shit litte lady. Its been one of those weeks. Whats been keeping you busy?"
Opal's eyes widen as Ryuji *pounds* the table, then she giggles. She shrugs to his question and runs a hand through her long hair. "Stupid things. Paperwork. Looking to drink and party, but with no takers..." Her tone drops and she winks. "Until now!" The waitress comes by. She orders another big glass of wine, and then motions to Ryuji. "...And whatever the tough guy wants!"
Yamazaki grunts out. "Whiskey...and don't water it down." He closes his eyes and gives the waitress a wide grin.
Opal nods and smiles sweetly to the frightened waitress, already downing the wine that has been brought enthusiastically. "Oh, another for me... bring them in twos..." she calls out with a laugh. Then she turns to Ryuji and watches him toy with the napkin. "So, where's that nasty blade of yours? I was looking forward to taking a peek at it again." She studies his form, inwardly pleased. Yes, he's defenetly the right man to guard her.
Yamazaki yells over to the waitress as she heads eagerly to the bar to fetch the drinks. "HEY! Might as well just bring us each bottles!" When Opal speaks his mouth forms a small circle as his left eyebrow raises. "My blade..the hell? We just met..a little forward of you to want to look at..." He pauses then realizes what she really meant, he gives himself a hard slap to the side of his head and belts out in laughter. "Oh, you meant THIS!" With a quick and sudden movement he draws out his blade and stabs it into the table top. *SHNK!*
Opal laughs giddily as Ryuji plunges the blade into the table, nearly spilling her wine. Her eyes flash brightly, and she recovers and swigs from the glass. "It's beautiful!" She chirps, staring at it. She reaches a hand over and grabs the hilt, pulling upward. It doesn't pull out, and she speaks as she tries wiggling it and pulling. "I... heh... didn't mean that I wanted... rrr... to see... *hah!*" Her hand slips, and she just ends up laughing.
Yamazaki laughs and grabs the blade, pulls it out and hands it to Opal hilt first. "Try it on for size.." The waitress comes back, her eyes locking to the massive knife and widening. The poor frightened girl shakes threatening to drop the tray and stammers out something along the lines of "..not being paid enough for.." and manages to set the two bottles down on the table.
Opal takes the blade in her one palm from Ryuji, her lavendar eyes widening reverently at the huge object, looking even more intimidating in her small, feminine hand. She breathes with a smile, "It's great... wow, Yamazaki! Where did you get...?" She looks up and sees the look on the waitress' face. She suddenly laughs at the poor girl. "I'm not going to stick you, honey, you're bringing us booze, after all!" She gives her famous, charming wink. The waitress scurries off, and she shrugs and stares back to Ryuji. "Sheesh, no appreciation for steel." She smiles and tests the weight of the blade, impressed.
Lyrae has arrived.
Kim has arrived.
Lyrae arrives, with Kim following behind.
Kim says, "But she's a slave essentially."
Lyrae quietly says, "..She'll learn differently.."
Kim says, "I hope so."
Lyrae quietly says, "Just have faith Kim."
Opal takes the blade in her one palm from Ryuji, her lavendar eyes widening reverently at the huge object, looking even more intimidating in her small, feminine hand. She breathes with a smile, "It's great... wow, Yamazaki! Where did you get...?" She looks up and sees the look on the waitress' face. She suddenly laughs at the poor girl. "I'm not going to stick you, honey, you're bringing us booze, after all!" She gives her famous, charming wink. The waitress scurries off, and she shrugs and stares back to Ryuji. "Sheesh, no appreciation for steel." She smiles and tests the weight of the blade, impressed.
Lyrae, on her way out, stops short with a frown crossing her expression. That..name.. Yamazaki. She knows she knows it . . . from somewhere. Subtly, green eyes look past her strands of dark hair towards the table occupied by the two, and almost instinctively, she starts pressing herself and Kim towards the table by the door.
Kim blinks
Kim asks, "Ly-chan?"
Lyrae tugs Kim into the seat, and claims hers across from her friend. Immediately her voice lowers slightly, casual, "Nani?"
Kim asks, "Um...everything okay?"
Lyrae nods firmly.
Yamazaki cackles loudly as he grabs the bottle of whiskey and pours himself a shot. "Nah..not too many people do. Me..I love it to death." His sharp eyes watch Opal holding the blade then glances to the door over to Lyrae. But before her face registers recognition in his mind he looks back to his drinking partner, tosses back a shot then asks her through a hoarse achohol singed tone. "*cough* Heh..what do you use for protection..?"
Lyrae barely suppresses a cringe at the loud cackle, a pained expression crossing her face, before she quickly closes her eyes and places her hand as a shield over her face mostly. In the posture best suited for one who has a headache, or is extremely tired. If he can't see her, he won't recognize her, and that's a GOOD thing.
Kim raises an eyebrow
Kim taps a finger on the table.
Lyrae ignores the tapping. Heheh, hear no evil, see no evil, don'cha know. ^^;;
Kim says, "Hey..."
Lyrae peeks and eye open slightly, towards her friend. =.-
Opal follows the gaze of the guy in front of her... noting Lyrae. She keeps on smiling, though, and looking away as Ryuji does. She doesn't think anything of it, since he didn't. She sets down her wineglass, taking the bottle the waitress brought her, and pouring from it. She waits until she has her hands free to reach under the table, where she seems to be fiddling with her skirt. She produces three golden, small, opal-encrusted hair sticks. Little rods, with sharp edges. Her voice lowers, and she says warmly, "Well, I didn't wear them tonight... but I always carry these... handy and pretty, don't you think?" She starts to hand Ryuji his blade, and the sticks.
Kim rests her arms on the table, staring at Lyrae.
Lyrae . o O ( *whimper* )
Lyrae blinks.
Lyrae smiles! o O ( She remembered the sign language! )
Kim grins at the expression.
Lyrae's hand moves through a series of hand gestures, sign language-wise.
Kim pikus
Kim glances over at the other pair in the room a bit.
Kim rests her hand on her cheek, still leaning on the table.  Her other arm rests on the first.
Kim narrows her eyes slightly.
Lyrae nods silently to the unspoken signal, then pats the air subtly. 'Calm down.'
Yamazaki takes the blade back and stabs it back into the table *SHNNK!* then slams back another shot letting out a short cough. "Damn..smooth..*hack*" When Opal hands him a set of opal hair sticks his eyebrow raises, he expected her to draw a small pistol. "Hrm..this is it?" He stares at Opal, at times glancing around the bar looking for the young girl who had entered a few minutes ago.
Lyrae tries *not* to call attention to herself. She's uninteresting, really! Unnoticeable. Pay no attention to the grey clad girl in the corner. She keeps her hand shielding her face.
Kim is still staring at the pair out of the corner of her eye
Kim looks back at Lyrae
Lyrae looks back at Kim
Lyrae frowns slightly. Apparently the unspoken response was unacceptable..
Kim sighs
Opal pouts at first, tilting her head to his response. The moment he looks away, she moves forward with amazing speed, snatching the sticks away, and suddenly sticking them in the table only millimeters from his blade. *THOCK* Her eyes dance, as she starts to sit again, grabbing the bottle. She says, grinning innocently, "Yamazaki, I can't carry something like you have. I hold these in my stocking! People would think I had a..." before she can finish, she notes where he's looking, and she glances over. . o O (Old lover? One of them, maybe? Both? I wouldn't doubt it...) She giggles quietly.
Lyrae grins. That was more like it.
Kim sweatdrops for some reason.
Kim oocly says, "Hey!!" >.O
Yamazaki eye's widen. "Had a..???" He shakes his head glancing down to his now empty hand. "Damn..you're fast.." As he glances down to the sticks embedded in the table top he starts to chuckle..then bust out laughing, face clutched into his hand while the other beats on the table top.
Lyrae shakes her head just slightly.
Kim nods a bit
Lyrae frowns and taps the table once, signing, 'I thought you said you were going to be good?'
Kim rolls her eyes. 9_9
Lyrae o.-
Kim smirks
Lyrae =.=
Kim giggles
Lyrae giggles.
Longest poses vs shortest.
Opal stares at Yamazaki... "No kidding," she says with a wink, then starts laughing in turn as Ryuji does. She laughs and laughs, and then takes a big drink from her poured glass of wine. She laughs and almost falls out of her chair. She quiets a little, and glances over to the other two, smiling brightly for no apparent reason. Then she leans over, pulling her sticks from the table deftly, and reaching down under the table to tuck them away. She says more softly, still grinning, "If I carried that in my stocking..." she looks to the blade, "people would think I was a transvestite...." She giggles.
Kim looks at Lyrae
Lyrae raises an eyebrow silently at Kim.
Kim taptaptaps her finger on the table.
Lyrae @grins, and nods in silent agreement with whatever it was Kim just 'signed'. Apparently the feeling is mutual ^_^
Kim smiles
Lyrae signs, 'Quit smiling, you're going to make me laugh!'
Kim ^.^
Lyrae twitches, clamping a hand over her mouth.
Kim crosses her eyes just for good measure >_<
Lyrae chokes quietly.
Kim rollrolls her eyes then just GRINS at Lyae 9_9 <_< 6_6 >_> 9_9  ^_^
The poor tabletop, its littered in small stab wounds, little cracks from Yamazaki slamming his hand down, and spilled liquer. Ryuji almost sprays his drink as Opal makes her little 'trans' comment then takes a double take around him wondering who she smiled at. He then glances back to Opal as he refills his drink. "Man..my bottle must have a freakin' hole in it, half empty already...cheap.." His voice fades into muddled grumbling noises.
Lyrae blinkblinks and .. *squirms* with both hands over her mouth now.
Kim sticks her tounge out, still grinning happily.  She doesn't seem to mind the ruckus.  It happens enough in here.
Lyrae smothers another giggle, then resolutely turns AWAY from Kim, grinning all the while n.n;
Opal laughs warmly at Ryuji. She glances over her shoulder to Lyrae and Kim, and says to Ryuji cheerfully, -quite- loud enough to be heard, "Hey, Yamazaki-dono, are the ladies friends of yours? I'll invite them over and buy them drinks, if you want." She has noticed the little fun going on between the girls, and she absolutely loves cheer, even when it's aimed at her.
Lyrae whirls in the opposite direction so Yamazaki doesn't see her face, though the damage is done. She's giggling ever so softly. Thaaanks Kim ^_^
Kim pikus, glancing over at Opal again.
Kim grins to herself though.  She made Lyrae laugh.  Mission accomplished.
Yamazaki asks through slightly slurred speach. "Nani desu ka...?*hic*" His swaying form slowly turns towards Kim and Lyrae, his eyes squinting to make out the two blurs. "Who is...?"
Lyrae o O ( Maybe he WON'T recognize me.. )
Opal smiles brightly, exuding her giddiness. "The two pretty women over behind us..." she explains. She turns in her chair, after downing another glass of wine. She addresses Kim and Lyrae. "Hi! I'm Opal, you must be friends of Yamazaki, ne? Care to join us in a drink?"
Kim says, "No thanks. ^_-  THat's alright."
Lyrae . o O ( Friends .. is stretching it. ^_^;;;; )
Yamazaki looks back to Opal, rubbing his left eye. "The hell are you talking to..??" His trademark gruff voice barks as he takes another quick shot. "Someone I know is in here...?" The big man looks down and then back to his drinking buddy, a wide fanged grin now on his face. "Damn..more for the lil'*hic* party..drag em over!!"
In a page-pose to you and Ryuji_Yamazaki, Hino_Rei hugs. ^_^
Lyrae looks at Kim. The expression on her face is clearly a good natured, 'oh boy..'
Kim grins back at Lyrae
Kim moves her hand quickly, signing to her
Lyrae grins as she signs in return.
Kim nods
Lyrae glances back over to the other two. She then motions to Kim. Go on. You first.
Opal bats her eyelashes back at Ryuji. "Now, now, Yamazaki... they may be here to be alone. I won't be rude and interrupt..." she's getting tipsy, enjoying all of this immensely. She looks over to Lyrae, having not heard an answer from her. "Miss...? I would hate to think I missed buying you a drink if you wanted one." She's friendly, hm?
Kim shouts over to Yamazaki, "You sure there's enough for us?  You look like you've emptied the bar, big boy."
Lyrae nods demurely at Opal. Why not? She doesn't say a word though. She makes herself clear even without saying anything. she giggles softly at Kim.
Yamazaki giggles as he shakes his head, this last shot burning his throat harshly. "Man..good stuff..huh?" He half turns to Kim and Lyrae and motions over with his arm. "Sure...just got paid so as long as the bar can keep up with us..*hic* The MORE the merrier!!"
Lyrae sweatdrops with an honest grin, shoots Kim a 'This oughta be interesting' look
Kim stands up, "Sounds like fun." winking at Lyrae.
Lyrae giggles silently, getting up and walking with Kim over to the table. Where are the empty seats located? n.n
Opal beams, all the happier. The girl's a one-woman happy factory. She pushes out a couple of chairs from the table for the two. "Great! Thanks, ladies! Have a seat, ne?" She pours herself another glass and signals the waitress.
Lyrae um, sits ^_^  yeah. She dips her forward in thanks, with another bemused side-glance to Kim.
Kim says, "How kind of you to invite us to the party. ^_^"
Lyrae quietly says, "Arigatou." Hey, Ryuji's so plastered he's not likely to recognize her voice after all n.n
Kim has a seat as well
Yamazaki nods not looking at the two, his eyes are locked onto his whiskey bottle. "Sure..just save some for us..right Opal-dono?!" Once again tonight his massive hand slams onto the table top. *WHAM!*
Lyrae winces just ..slightly. How that table is managing to stay together is beyond her.
Kim says, "It's never too much with you, is it?" grinning at Yamazaki.
Lyrae grins.
Opal laughs loudly, asiding to the ladies, slighly inebriated, "...He could easily drink out this bar, don't you think?" She winks cheerfully, and nods to Ryuji. "You're doing quite well, hun." She chuckles, waiting for the waitress.  She looks at the two women. "Any clue what you'd like to drink? It's on me."
Lyrae glances at Kim. 'Uh..we're..not -really- going to ..drink.. are we?" She signs."
Lyrae nods in agreement with Opal, giggling faintly, then pikus, "..Drink?" Stalling techniques engaged.
Lyrae ems, "I'm not familiar with .. alcohol ^_^;"
Yamazaki pours a shot of whiskey and hands it over in Kim and Lyrae's direction. "Yeah..fill the tank!" He cackles and takes the bottle with his free hand, taking a deep drink,then slams the bottle down and chuckles watching Opal.
Kim shrugs to Lyrae. ^_^
Lyrae eeps softly at the whiskey, and.. passes it to Kim n.nV
Opal giggles at Ryuji, and then looks to the women, sipping from her glass. She says brighly, "Oh, you don't have to get drunk, mind you, just because we are.. but I would encourage it. It's been a great day, and now we have great company!" She beams. "Whatever you can think of... or I could order for you. I love Earth drinks!"
Ryan has arrived.
Kim picks up the glass, sniffing it lightly.
Lyrae grins with a slight sweatdrop. "Uh, w..why not. You order ^_^;;"
Kim says, "THey are the best. ^_-"
Lyrae and Kim are at the table with Ryuji and Opal, having a grand ol' time. ^^;
Ryan walks inside, looking a little drowsy. Gotta love those pain-killers, ne? He doesn't even notice Ryuji, or if he does, he doesn't care.
Lyrae glances at Kim >.>;;;
Kim glances at Lyrae <_<;
Kim holds up the drink.
Lyrae . o O ( Well if SHE's going to drink.. why not. )
Yamazaki laughs loudly and glances around at those to his table, Opal, and yes, Lyrae and Kim. Drunkedly he raises his bottle and says something, then slams back.
Lyrae wrinkles her nose, not noticing Ryan as she sweatdrops at Ryuji.
Lyrae nods to an unspoken statement from Kim, signing 'Okay okay.. no time like the present ^_^'
Lyrae eyes Opal curiously for a moment, wondering what she'll order.
Derek has arrived.
Ryan sits himself at the bar, and glances over at the ladies with a smirk, despite the little problem that came up earlier. He doesn't mention it now, simply stating, "'llo again, Lyrae, Kim."
Kim smiles nervously to her friend before looking back at the shot glass....and quickly shooting it back before she can have a second thought about it.  It only takes a few seconds for the reaction to occur as Kim's head leans back forward, tears filling her eyes, "Hooo!" ;_;  *coughcough*
Opal smiles and nods to the ladies. She turns to the waitress who has arrived. She motions to Kim, "She should enjoy a Mai Tai..." and then, as she glances to Lyrae, "And a Kahlua for my quiet friend, here. You know what the man and I will have." She leaves a huge stack of bills on the table, winking. The waitress nods nervously and starts to move on. She looks back to the two women, still tipsy. "I hope you'll enjoy what I have selected..."
Lyrae *grins* at the reaction, laughing aloud.
Lyrae looks at Opal, "Oh.. Okay sure ^_^;"
Kim says, "Huh?" wiping her eyes.
Derek shrugs his coat off, leaving it by the door. Looking over at the voices, he blinks O_o;
Cammy has arrived.
Kim swallows a few times, setting the glass back down on the table.
Ryan is sitting at the bar, watching the little scene, and noticably sweatdropping, now   n.n;
Derek . o O ( What the hell..? )
Kim says, "Dang. @_@"
Lyrae glances over from the table, waving a hand to Ryan briefly, then turns back to Kim. She giggles, again.
Lyrae quietly says, "Bottom's up dear? ^_^"
Cammy wanders in, glancing about.
Lyrae and Kim are seated at the table with Ryuji and Opal. Yes, Kim is drinking.
Ryan blinks, spotting Cammy as she walks in. He tries to look confident, despite the fact he was in the Hospital yesterday   n.n;   And yes, Kim's drinking.
Kim says, "Way up. @_@"
Cammy waves to Ryan, someone she recognizes. And Derek, too.
Lyrae giggles softly.
Yamazaki slams back another then blinks looking at his empty bottle of whiskey. "Sh*t..that went fast.." He waves an arm signaling for the waitress to come over. When she reluctantly does he whips out his arm, empty bottle in hand and barks. "Empty!!" He then chuckles and slaps her on the rump. "May I have another??" The waitress hrmphs and heads to the back for another bottle.
Derek walks over to the bar and sits down, still watching the little group.
Kim says, "Hey, man, why don'tcha try and watch those hands." o.- pointing at Yamazaki.
Lyrae grins, mildly waiting for her drink, and watching the verbal volleyball between Kim and Ryuji. Vastly amused.
Ryan smiles weakly at Cammy. He hasn't had anything to drink yet, apparently, so he tries his best to ignore Ryuji. "Haven't seen you around in a while..."
Derek looks over his shoulder and nods to Cammy before glancing back at Kim, one eyebrow arched up slightly..
Opal laughs loudly, and watches the waitress as she brings the drinks again, the bottles for her and Ryuji, and the two drinks she selected for the women. She takes another huge gulp from her glass, and giggles at Kim's words to her drinking buddy. "Thanks," she says to the poor waitress. Then she says to Ryuji, "Patience, Yamazaki-dono... it's coming. Breathe for a moment." She winks, and notices that there are others in the bar. What fun!
Derek isn't ignoring Ryuji, he saw him. It'd be rude to start something in the bar, though.
Lyrae eyes her drink suspiciously, like it's about to bite her, and passes the Mai Tai to Kim. ^_^
Cammy wanders over to Ryan. "What's up? You look terrible."
Kim says, "What's this?" rubbing her head
Lyrae quietly says, "A Mai Tai."
Lyrae picks up her drink, and sniffs it warily. *kaff* >.<
Ryan sweatdrops. "This? I've had worse, nothing to worry about..." Sad thing is, he's telling the truth. He keeps his eye on the other girls, every so often, to make sure nothing bad happens. We all know Lyrae's a trouble magnet, after all.
Kim picks hers up, looking at it while she massages her small headache.
Cammy smirks a little, "Uh-huh." Sitting on a stool, she stretches her shoulders and neck, head rolling around like a loose ball-bearing.
Kim doesn't know what you're talking about!  Lyrae's never gotten herself or anyone in trou--*ZAP*       *falls dead from lightning strike*
Lyrae simply.. downs about a quarter of the glass in one sitting, before spasming into a coughing fit.
Yamazaki glances to Opal rubbing his face and chuckling to Kim. "Take a breath...I've got something else to take.." He pushes himself away from the table and heads to the bathroom, kicking at the jukebox as he passes. "Crap..musik..*hic*"
Ryan smirks in reply. "Just got in trouble with an old friend... nothing to worry about." A truth, and a falsehood. "A lesson not to get in over your head, tho'"
Lyrae giggles.
Derek side glances at Ryan, hmphs softly, and then glares daggers at Ryuji's back until he's out of sight
Ryan can't do anything about it now... so why bother worrying?
Cammy says, "I'm never in over my head." She absently replies, obviously not quite all around.
Lyrae flushes pink and wipes at her eyes, giggling quietly to the two at the table, "An..an acquired tasste."
Derek looks over at the group. Did Lyrae just take..a drink? He looks a little surprised o_o
Opal laughs giddily at the eloquent sentiments of Yamazaki. She nods, and as he leaves, she looks to Lyrae and Kim. "I hope the drinks are okay... they taste pretty good to me. You two seem pretty popular with the men here..." Apparently, she's noticed things around the four of them. She winks, swigging another large gulp of wine. "Mmm..." She's getting setadily drunk, but all the more cheerful. "I'd buy them some, too. But I should watch -some- of my cash..."
Kim says, "Oh you know it." winking at Opal. ^_-
Lyrae snorts wryly, and abruptly sputters into a peal of giggles.
Kim sips her drink.
Ryan hmms. He'd buy it, but then again, he figures you have enough smarts not to walk into Nova Pandemonium   u.u;   "What've you been up to...? Heard you've been staying with... Yuffie?" The last part is said with hesitation.
Lyrae quietly says, "You don't wanna go flat broke now d'ya? *giggle*"
Kim coughs
Derek turns around at Opal's comment, then eyes Kim and Lyrae..
Kim says, "Heheh.  Not bad.  Not bad. ^_^"
Kim sips
Cammy says, "Yuffie's been living with me since... well... for a long time. She's..."
Lyrae giggles as she ..doesn't quite sip hers. "Kinda creamish.."
Ryan nods to Cammy, and listens, rather quietly for him, actually.
Lyrae looks over at Kim, "S'yers?"
Opal smiles at Kim and Lyrae, grinning. She says to Lyrae. "Oh, if you wanted something lighter, I could have gotten you a daquiri, or something. Very tasty drinks they have here..." She gulps down more and more wine. She beams cheerfully. "So, I didn't get your names, girls?"
Derek crosses his arms and keeps quiet for the time being..Ryuji's here, Kim and Lyrae are drinking. If something strange doesn't happen, it'll be a friggin' miracle..
Kim says, "Kinda fruity. ^.^"
Derek . o O ( Something about that one bothers me.. )
Kim looks at Opal and smiles, "Name's Kim." giving Opal a two finger salute. ^_-
Kim says, "Nice to meetcha."
Lyrae sticks a hand out to Opal, "L'rae. You?"
Derek . o O ( ..... )
Cammy says, ".. well, y'know. She's just been having a rough time of it lately.  Sometimes I wonder that she thinks I'm the only friend she has..."
Ryan sweatdrops   . o O ( Drunk already   u.u; )
Ryan rubs the back of his neck as Cammy continues. "You... do know what she's been up to lately, don't you?"
Derek looks over at Ryan, probably having the same thought he is, and then watches Kim and Lyrae get tipsy
Kim takes a bit bigger sip of her Mai Tai.
Kim giggles n.n
Lyrae giggles.
Lyrae asks gently, "Enjoyin'?"
Kim looks at Lyrae o.o
Kim giggles n.n
Cammy replies, shortly, "Not really. It doesn't matter."
Lyrae asks gently, "What'sso funny?"
Kim says, "Nooooothing." looking away with an impish little grin.
Ryan frowns, for a moment. "She attacked a few of my friends. Willingly, from all the evidence I've seen..."
Opal offers her hand, grinning warmly. "Opal. Nice to meet the both of you. If you want to enjoy other drinks, let me know." She winks. She looks towards the bathroom, wondering when Ryuji will return. She giggles softly, and says conspiratorily to the two girls, "We should drink all we can before he gets back..."
Lyrae shakeshakes Opal's hand, and *giggles* "Yeah!"
Kim says, "Heheh.  More for us!" n.n
Lyrae giggles at Kim.
Lyrae quietly says, "Tha'll teachim t'..t.. Hm." SHe loses track of her thoughts. o.o
Derek stares at Lyrae. Never drink, huh?
Cammy shrugs. "Like I said, it doesn't matter. I'm not goin' to abandon her, like others have. She didn't abandon me."
Opal shakes the offered hand, and swigs yet more wine. She's going through it quick, and enjoying every drop. "It's my pleasure to meet you two," she bubbles. "It's always more fun to drink in a group."
Derek comments to Cammy without taking his attention from the other ladies, "I haven't abandoned her at all..she just has to find her own path.."
Ryan looks off to the side. "I'm going to say this straight... if she tries to hurt my friends again, I will fight her. I just can't have her running around hurting people. It's nothing personal, mind you, but..."
Kim says, "Yah, I'll say.  5 heads are better than...." she pauses to count heads.
Lyrae pikus and snatches hold of the thread of conversation, "Certainly seem's that way s'far." She giggles at Opal.
Kim says, "Oh, whatever." ^.^
Lyrae laughs at Kim, "Baaaka, you can't even count ^_^"
Kim exclaims, "Yah I can!"
Cammy says, "Nothing personal at all, Ryan.  I expect, knowing Yuffie, that we'll have to fight each other sometime." She doesn't really dignify Derek with a response. He hasn't even tried to visit her, after all.
Lyrae nudges Kim, "Can't not ^_^"
Kim says, "1..2....3.......4.....er....."
Lyrae giggles, "Ther'e're only Three .. four 'ncludin' me."
Ryan nods, and sighs. "Enough about that. Dammit, I'm not about to get depressed that easily!" Actually, he is, but that's another matter. He turns to the bartender and orders a beer. Nice and quick.
Lyrae giggles at Opal, "What 'm I th' only one?" Her tone turned plaintive, "C'n I have a reefilll?" She asks softly, with a giggle.
Cammy shakes her head a little and nods. "Anyways, I suppose, enough about that."
Kim says, "'scuse me Mz. college graduate. 9_9"
Derek closes his eyes, listening to the conversation with a rather sour expression -_-
Lyrae quietly says, "Tha's MISS college graduate to you." *giggles!*
Opal beams at Lyrae, nodding emphatically. "Refill it is!!" She laughs, and waves over the waitress. She's so very drunk now, but it just seems to enhance her mood. "I'm glad you're enjoying it!"
Kim says, "Well, exscuuuuuuuuuse me."
Lyrae giggles a bit giddily, half because of Opal's laughter, the other half at Kim's response, "She's jush.jus..just jealous." She informs Opal. n.n
Ryan nods and smirks in return (it's a faked smirk, but still...). "Besides, I'm not about to get all gloomy with a beautiful lady nearby, eh? Just wouldn't be right."
Opal laughs loudly, and says to the waitress, "Bring us another round, would you, dear?" She sets more money on the table.
Ryan smiles at Cammy. "Want to order something? I'll buy you a drink."
Lyrae asks gently, "SHould we save some for wassisname?"
Kim finishes off her drink, looking down into the glass o.-
Kim says, "S'all gone..."
Lyrae ;.; "All gone?"
Derek opens one eye. He looks at Kim, then at Lyrae. The eye closes again . o O ( They're friggin' sponges.. )
Lyrae states softly, "Waitaminute, there's another roun' comin'." She eyes her drink. Then Kim. ANd hugs her glass posseessively, "So you gotta wait for yers!"
Cammy says, "Eh? No, no alcohol for me, thanks, Ryan..."
Kim says, "I don't want that!  I'm gonna get a FULL glass. Nyah." ^.^
Kim giggles!
Lyrae sticks her tongue out at Kim, "Thppt!"
Lyrae giggles n.n
Kim says, "Thppppt!" n.n
Lyrae makes a face at Kim, "BIIH @.x"
Kim says, "WIsh I had a camera. *giggle!!*"
Ryan sweatdrops at the dynamic duo over there   ^^;
Lyrae *giggles*
Opal laughs loudly as the waitress returns with refills. "Thanks, hun," she says to the girl, and takes her bottle. "Bring more whiskey for the burly guy, okay?" She then sees the faces the girls are making at one another, and cackles again.
Ryan nods to Cammy. "A soda then, maybe? Up to you, 'course."
Cammy says, "... yeah, soda sounds okay."
Lyrae states softly, "Well you don't so s..suffer!" She turns back to Opal with a giggle as the refills are brought over, "S'great!"
Kim says, "Aaaaaaah." picking up her glass n.n
Lyrae slapslsaps Kim's hand n.n
Lyrae quietly says, "Tha's MINE."
Kim says, "No, that's mine! o.o"
Lyrae asks gently, "S'it got yer name on it?"
Kim asks, "S'got yer's?"
Kim grins
Lyrae giggles, "S'not th' point. Sides, I asked first. ^_^"
Kim says, "I asked second. ^_^"
Lyrae quietly says, "Well.. Second's are .. are.." *pause* "Gimme that!" n.n
Ryan orders a generic cola from the NPC wait-person for Cammy. He still seems a bit glum, even though he has a smile on his face. odd.
Kim grabs for the drink as well!
Cammy nudges Ryan. "Don't need to put up a big front, y'know."
Lyrae bapbapbaps Kim's arm, "Cheater! n.n"
Derek looks glum, and he's not trying to hide it one bit..
Kim sticks out her tounge, clutching the glass. n.n
Ryan sweatdrops. "Er... come again?"  ^^;  He takes a -long- swig of his beer.
Lyrae POINTS over Kim's shoulder, "Look 'ver there!"
There is a loud cracking sound from the bathroom then a pause. Minutes later Yamazaki wanders out, staggering in his footsteps with the air handryer in hand. He makes it back to the table and slumps down, dropping the electric unit to the floor, *thud* then grabs the bottle and pours another shot. "..what I miss...?" He asks wavering.
Cammy smirks, drinking her soda. "I can tell you're down 'bout somethin'."
Kim says, "WHere???" looking but not letting go
Lyrae looks at Ryuji, "John Travolta?"
Lyrae blinkblinks at Kim. ..then SNATCHES for the glass n.n
Ryan sweatdrops again, and sighs. "Yeah, you could say that."
Kim looks back at Lyrae, as she's still holding the glass.
Kim GRINS
Lyrae GRINS
Lyrae quietly says, "Hi."
Kim ^.^
Lyrae quietly says, "Gonna let go? n.n"
Kim ^.^
Ryan . o O ( Now I know why they don't drink often   c.c; )
*click* What was that? Strange..almost sounded like a camera going off..
Lyrae quietly says, "For me? n.n"
Kim ^.^
Kim suddenly darts her head forward, sipping from the glass while it's still on the table.
Lyrae meeps ;.;
Lyrae ;.;
Cammy says, "So. What's goin' on?" She kicks Ryan under the bar, just his foot, really.
Kim says, "Aaah." resting her chin on the table, smiling up at Lyrae n.n
Kim licks  her lips
Lyrae quietly says, "Fooey, yer no f..fun ;.;"
Opal cackles loudly at Yamazaki, and says in reference to the dryer, "Uhm. Yamazaki-dono, you were supposed to leave that there... I got you another bottle." She notices the women struggling. "Hey, I got you both a refill, no need to squabble!" She laughs at Lyrae. "Want some wine?"
Kim says, "I'sorry." n.n
Ryan erps, and sighs again. He's not about to relate the whole details of the last week, but does make a quick summary. "That old friend I mentioned before, the guy tried to kill me. Almost succeeded, too."
Cammy says, "Oh yeah? Who was that?" She kicks back the last of her soda, twirling the glass on the bartop so that the ice clinks around. "And why?"
Kim asks, "Want'er rest?"
*click*
Lyrae glances at Opal, "Sure!" She giggles, "An she's not any either." She stickes her tongue out at Kim, "No I don' wan' th'rest, you drank from it!"
Ryan replies, "The why would take far, far too long to explain. As for the who... don't think you know him, was a guy named Foil..."
Kim says, "Pah!  I don't have zeases. =_="
Lyrae squints at Kim.
Lyrae =.=
Kim says, "Er...dezises...er....sick stuff."
Lyrae quietly says, "Y'do too.."
Kim exclaims, "No way!"
Yamazaki raises an eyebrow at Opal and chuckles. "Huh? Oh...whoooo..man this stuff iz pretty good..." He trades drunken glances to Kim and Lyrae.
Lyrae raises her hand, "There's one ri' there." *TUGS Kim's nose*
Cammy says, "Foil? Like the fencing weapon?" She hmns. "No, can't say I do know him."
Kim says, "Aa!  My nose!"
Lyrae pulls her hand away, fisted, "Gotcher nose!" She cackles and then pikus, "Gods that joke's lame."
Ryan glances at Kim and Lyrae and pals, once again   . o O ( Didn't that big guy try to kidnap her before...?  c.c   O.o; )   He nods to Cammy. "Yeah... think it's an alias, but I'm not sure. He doesn't get around much."
Derek opens one eye to watch the drunken revelry -_o
Cammy says, "Probably not. Then again--I don't get around much either."
Kim says, "You better giv 'et back..." =.= wagging a finger at Lyrae
Opal laughs loudly again, knocking back her bottle, and grinning at Ryuji. "Great night, hm?" She looks back to the people not at the table.
Lyrae quietly says, "Y'wannit?"
Kim says, "Yaaaaaaah." =.=
Ryan smirks, a little. "Still surprised to hear you say that. An attractive lady liek you, all alone. It's a shame, really! Sad, sad." He takes another swig of his drink.
Lyrae quietly says, "Too bad, s'mine now. Ha ha ha." She giggles and snatches up her wine, squinting at it =.=
Kim pokepokes her no---*try again* pokes her no--*erf* pokes her no---*hmph!* pokes NEAR her nose! "Goes...right 'dere..."
Cammy smiles a little. "You're trying too hard again, Ryan."
Lyrae nyahs at Kim. n.n
Kim says, "Nyah." >_<
Lyrae quietly says, "Nyaaah. n.n"
Kim sits up
Kim smiles at Opal, "Hey, thanks fer the drinks." n.n
Derek glances at Opal for a moment. His eyes narrow a little, then close again..
Yamazaki pours another shot then raises his glass to drink, but something makes him pause. He blinks twice then takes a double take at Lyrae then lowers his glass, his tone switching low. "..you....."
Lyrae snifsnifs her new drink, and sips. She pikus and salutes Opal with her glass, "S'right!" n.n
Ryan glances at Cammy out of the corner of his eye. "Am not. You're a damn nice woman, y'know? Friendly, good looking, pleasant..." Okay, maybe he is. But he's not about to admit it.
Lyrae swings around to Ryuji with her outstretched hand *bip* "S'meeeeeeee!"
Lyrae giggles merrily.
Kim giggles
Kim says, "Don't hit." bapping Lyrae's shoulder n.n
Opal hears Lyrae and Kim, and smiles. "Sure!" She says cheerfully, then notices Ryuji... everything seems to be moving in slow motion for her. She sees Derek... she looks back... why does she suddenly feel apprehension?
Lyrae turns to Kim, "No fair! You hit! *bipbipbip*"
Kim *bipbipbipbip*
Lyrae *bipbipbips* back.
Kim gigglegiggles! n.n
Kim pinches Lyrae's nose suddenly!
Lyrae giggles, "Give Kim, I won't!" n.n
Lyrae ACKS!
Derek's eyes snap open, locking onto Ryuji. Nah, he doesn't look at all threatening..
Lyrae flails, "Led go ob by DOSE!"
Kim says, "Ha!  I got YOURS now. Nyah." ^.^
Lyrae states softly, "Dad hurds you dow!"
Kim slides her fingers off, keeping her fist clenched.
Lyrae covers her nose ;.;
Cammy smirks at Ryan. "Sure, sure... so you say. Anyway. You've got a girl."
Lyrae *giggles*
Kim says, "You snooze and looze yer nose." n.n
Lyrae asks gently, "Strade?"
Kim says, "Wha? ^_^"
Lyrae quietly says, "Yer nose fer mine n.n"
Kim says, "Hmmm..." tapping her chin
Lyrae =.=
Kim says, "I'll...think about it..."
Ryan closes his eyes. "And what, that keeps me from flattering other women? Life is hard enough as it is. Not like I'm asking you out on a date or anything... just nice to talk, y'know?"
Yamazaki rubs his eyes then shakes his head bringing some sobriety back to him. "You...I know you." He gives his knife embedded into the table top a quick glance then looks to Opal. "Whaz..the matter...?"
Lyrae states softly, "Timesup, Give!"
Cammy says, "Nah. Besides--I know you're not a slimeball or nothin'." She smiles and pats Ryan on the shoulder. "There's hope for you yet."
Opal looks a little confused, and looks back to Derek, then to Ryan. She smiles faintly, then looks back to Ryuji. "You know those guys?" She asks, smiling drunkedly, before grinning back at the two women.
Ryan hmmphs, and chuckles. "So I hear."
Kim giggles! bumping herself into Lyrae, putting her arm around her. n.n
Kim says, "Nooooo." shaking her head n.n
Lyrae slips her arm around Kim's waist, and giggles, "Fine, then prepare t'be tickled!" Her other hand snaps over to her friend's waist and she proceeds to tickle her furiously. n.n
Cammy hehs softly and smiles, looking out one of the windows.
Kim says, "Aaa! This is not time or *giggle!!* place! *gigglegiggle!*"
Kim says, "Take this!" retaliating with her own tickling.
Hino_Rei has arrived.
Lyrae quietly says, "Y'shoulda thoughta tha' b'fore y'took m'nose! EEEEP! Re..retaliation'sno fair!!!! *GIGGLES*"
Somewhere on the muck, Sypha has connected.
Yamazaki's eyebrow quirks up at Opal as he asks, "Who, what guys...*hic*" Slowly he looks to Lyrae then blinks hard slamming his hand to the table. "YOU! Now I remember!!" Then he narrows his eyes and turns towards Derek and Ryan.
Rei looks around (Sugoi!  Lots of peoples!)
*click*
Ryan is sitting at the bar with Cammy, being one of the least-drunk people here   ^^;
Kim says, "Is too!  Is tooooooooooooo!" falling right out of her chair, and likely taking Lyrae down with her.
Derek is giving Ryuji the 'Stare o' Death'..
Lyrae quietly says, "AAA!! *THUD* x.x"
Cammy is the least drunk. However, Derek over there is certainly the most sober.
Lyrae quietly says, "Ittaaaaaaii *giggle*"
*click*
Kim gigglegiggles n.n
Ryan looks over his shoulder as Ryuji gets angry. C'mon... try something... i dare ya...
Lyrae looks down, "Hello down there n.n"
Cammy nudges Ryan. "Looks like big, bad 'n ugly over there wants something."
Opal sits drunkenly at the table with Ryuji, Kim and Lyrae. She hears Yamazaki, and her eyebrows raise..... notices Derek's stare at Ryuji... and her usually beaming smile starts to fade. No... no... this isn't happening, here.... she stands up, and blurts to Derek, "WHAT?! Why are you staring? That's rude!"
Derek would wave to Rei, he's a little focused at the moment..
Kim says, "Who down there?" ^.^
Ryan turns back to Cammy. "Do tell. Maybe he'll have enough sense not to try something in here, hmm? Tifa nearly killed the last guy who did." He chuckles a moment.
Lyrae is completely and blissfully oblivious to Ryuji n.n She blinkblinks, however, when she hears Opal's outburst, and looks up blearily, "Aw.." She looks down to Kim, "Party's over ;.;."
Rei's mouth drops open as she stares at Opal, "You!"
Kim says, "Wanna go have our own? n.n"
Ryan . o O ( Why do I suddenly get a bad feeling?   u.u; )
Yamazaki slowly rises from his seat, glances over his shoulder to Opal then back to Derek and Ryan. His mouth upturned into a sharp dangerous grin.
Derek glances at Opal, his voice calm and rather serious, "I don't think I have business with you, miss. Perhaps you should sit down before you fall over, you've had a bit to drink.."
Cammy says, "Yes, well... Tifa doesn't appear to be here. And you're not in all that great shape yourself." She pushes off from the bar, striding towards Yama-chan.
Lyrae quietly says, "Sure, get up firs'." Of course she's the one sprawled across Kim, so that might be difficult.
Ryan glances at Cammy   . o O ( Hope she'll be okay if trouble starts... )  Ryan doesn't exactly know Cammy's as good or better than him in combat. But we won't tell him.
Opal starts to shift in mood. It's pretty scary, she starts to look very, very dangerous, her lips upturning wickedly. She hears Rei, but ignores her for a second. She says to Derek, "If you cared who minded their business, sir, you wouldn't have been gawking at my friends!" She then looks back to Rei, and smiles, almost in a friendly manner. "Oh, its you." She muses. "Great timing, honey."
Lyrae doesn't budge from her spot; she's still pretty happy n.n
Ryan finishes off his beer. He's not going to waste perfectly good alcohol in a potential violent situation   u.u
Kim nudgenudges Lyrae, not minding at all she's still laying on the floor, "Remember that bottle?" n.n
Derek doesn't care if Opal turns into Tammy Fae Baker, he's not in the mood to deal with her
Rei blinkblinks (What's going on here...) she then see's Yamazaki and realizes what Derek's all upset about.
Lyrae mewls sleepily, "Mm? Bottle? You still thirsty?"
Kim says, "AT Charlie's house. n.n"
Derek looks back to Ryuji, "About time you crawled out from your rock, Yamazaki.."
Kim grins!
Ryan facepalms   . o O ( Not NOW, Derek... )
Lyrae quietly says, "I think Charlie drank-ed it..." She lurches off Kim finally, realizing she was keeping her friend from getting up.
Kim says, "Whaaaaaaaaaat?" sitting up.
Cammy smiles over at Derek. "Oh, hush up. The big boy's mine, this time around. I haven't had a good dance in a long time."
Kim says, "But that was ours." :<
Derek says, "Cammy..sit your butt down with Ryan there, I owe him from long ago.."
Ryan cracks his knuckles. He may be in bandages, but he's ready to kick butt if need be. "Hey! No fighting in Tifa's place, eh? If you're going to start trouble, take it outside. That means you too, Derek. This place has been torn up enough..."
Kim says, "Cammy?" =.= recognizing the name.
Derek doesn't smile, either. Nope, not in a good mood..
Yamazaki stops laughing as he notices Cammy walking over. He raises his eyebrow and lets out a grunt then turns back to Derek and Ryan. "Ooooooh, please tell me that you are gonna hurt me.. Eh?" He laughs outloud at Cammy and turns to her. "Sorry..already have a full table of lovely ladies..but.." He glances to Cammy's legs. "With stems like those I am sure that you can find some fun at the strip bar..might offer ya a job!"
Kim hiccups
Lyrae grins, "I'll tell Charlie t'get another." She stands up and *whapwhaps Opal and Ryuji on the back in turn* C'ya!" She trots out *THUD* into the wall.. backs away.. and this time goes out the door."
Lyrae heads out the front door.
Lyrae has left.
Kim says, "Hey, wait!!" shouting at Lyrae as she scrambles to her feet
Kim heads out the front door.
Kim has left.
Ryan . o O ( Okay, I'll let Cammy have a whack at him first. Rude SOB   o.= )
Derek doesn't look at Ryan, "I know that, Ryan."
Cammy waves Derek off, smiling pleasantly as she approaches Yamazaki. "Sure. I'm a dancer, didn't y' know? Unfotunately, these tables aren't open. If you want to have some fun, you'll have to go elsewhere."
Opal hears Derek, and Cammy, her eyes narrow. "No dice, people. He's with me... minding his own business, until you got nosy. You have to take me on, too." She reaches down to the side of her skirt, for some reason, her face becoming almost scary... eyes narrowing. "It's bad taste to interrupt a celebration..."
Ryan stes his glass aside, and leans back on his stool. He scans the area for potential non-combatants... Opal and Rei immediately stick out. Not a place to start a fight...
Yamazaki (OOC) asks that if people attack..do one at a time. Take turns what ever so we can keep up." ^_^"
Rei o O (He's with her?  What's his connection to the dark moon clan....)
Derek glances at Opal, "Sorry, lady. You can have him back when we're done with him.."
Yamazaki asks. "Oh? Well...you talk tough..but first." He kneels down to the floor, staying there for a few seconds then starts to chuckle. Then there is a loud wail as he suddenly straightens up, handryer in hand, eyes wide and tongue hanging out. "ERAAAAH!" He looks to Derek and shotguns the thing right at him.
Opal says angrily, her eyes flaring at Derek, "You didn't hear me apparently---*" The things flies by her, and she blinks. . o O (What the?!!)
Rei blinkblinks.
Just as quickly, Cammy's foot shoots out, snap-kicking at Ryuji's wrist, trying to deflect his aim out the door, or at least away from Derek.
Ryan blinks, and facepalms. Not in the bar! Ryan'll get blamed for it again! Doofus. First things first, let Derek and Cammy turn his face into something resembling oatmeal, and then toss the lug out. Of course, Ryan can show off some of his new special moves (being beaten on by Metal Demons makes one inventive, y'see) if Ryuji doesn't take it outside.
Derek's hand snaps up, and the dryer stops in midair about a foot from his face. Suddenly falling to the floor, he glares at Ryuji, "Too bad you didn't stay drunk and ignorant. I was just keeping an eye on you until you recognized Lyrae.."
Yamazaki glares at Cammy then reaches behind him, freeing his knife from the table top, then spinning full circle slashing out at her with the blade. "SHYAAH!"
Rei O.O!
Opal can tell where Ryuji is aiming, and knows what has occured. She reaches suddenly into her skirt, pulling out three, sharp, rod-like hair sticks, and glaring at Derek, awaiting his next move. "She was fine, sir," she answers Derek for Ryuji. "...all was well, until people couldn't leave well enough alone..."
Ryan has a task at hand. Get the bystanders out of here, if Ryuji won't take it outside. He jogs over to Rei, ducking any flying projectiles, and says hastily, "I think it's time to leave, hmmm?"
Cammy leans backwards, also taking a step or two, as the tip of the blade rakes her chin, drawing a thin red line that flowers with some blood. She smiles, a slow, unfeeling smile, as she continues her backwards lean by twisting her body around and snapping her right foot upwards towards Ryuji's chin.
Ryan tries to sound pleasant, but considering the situation, and Ryan's beaten-up mug, he just looks stupid   ^^;
Rei blinkblinks at Ryan (I can't let Opal out of my sight!  Gotta find out what that guy's doing with her...) "Um...how bout I just step back a little?"
Derek looks over at Opal, then the sticks. His expression doesn't change, "You're still here?" He brings one hand up by his shoulder and then extends his hand at Opal, "Sleep.." (OOC: Just what it sounds like, put someone out for a good while, unless they have resistance)
Ryan sweatdrops. "Hide behind a table or something?"   ^^;   Yes, he actually said that. With that out of the way, he circles around the room, trying to get behind Ryuji while he's busy with Derek and Cammy.
Rei shrugs and takes a few steps back keeping an eye out.
Yamazaki finishes the slashing motion then brings his arm back, blocking the kick with his forearm but because he is off balance from his attack he stumbles a few steps to the side. "HEH! Good kick lil girl.." He closes his blade and puts his hand in is pocket licking his lips. Taking a step forward he punches at Cammy's stomach with his free hand then roundhouse kicks at her head. "GRN!"
Cammy grunts, doubling over Ryuji's stomach punch, which, incidentally, drops her below Ryuji's roundhouse--for now. She isn't as hurt as she seems, though, and she's fast. Damn fast, which is why Ryuji finds her coming up from her ducking position, while his leg is in the recovery arc from his kick, with a hard palm shot aimed to his chin.
Ryan steps around Ryuji, assuming the big fellow doesn't notice. He seems a bit occupied, so it shouldn't be TOO hard. In theory. Of course, Ryan thought it'd be easy to sneak into Nova Pandemonium, too.
Ryan . o O ( Woah, Cammy's better than I though   O.o;   Nice technique, too... )
Opal blinks at Derek... for a moment, she sways a little, her eyes closing. But mental attacks are NOT a good idea, where this lady is concerned. Her eyes widen, her crescent moon flaring,  as she suddenly seems to lose sanity. "...No.... NOOOO!" She screams, tears rising to her eyes, and she sweeps her hand out, bellowing at Derek. "F**K YOU!!" "Opal FIIIIRE!!" From the three sticks, a blast of neon blue flame energy goes streaking towards Derek. Apparently, he hit a nerve.
Ryan erps, and stops in his tracks. Ryuji can wait... Cammy has him covered. Evil magic-using wizard ladies are another thing entirely   o.o;
Rei acks!  "Look out!"
Derek blinks at the attack. Instead of dodging, he actually runs right AT it, headed right for Opal. Some of the flame flickers around him, but doesn't seem to be doing as much damage as it should. Still dashing, he tries to run right into her . o O ( Gotta take this outside! )
Yamazaki's eyes widen at Cammy's speed, he isn't fast enough to dodge and takes the hit on the jaw. "KRRR!"*CRACK* He falls back then rolls away from Cammy rubbing his jaw and spitting blood. His head sways side to side then reels back as he clutches his forehead laughing loudly. "WAAAHAAAHAAAAAA---*" Suddenly he stops and blinks, hearing Opal and glancing over to her. "You alright....?" When she lets loose with the fire his eyes widen as he snickers. "Krr..heh..heh.." Then belts out in laughter again. "EYAAAHAAHAAA!"
Cammy takes advantage of Yamazaki's distraction with Opal. Through the pain in her gut, she launches herself on her powerful legs, taking two steps and leaping at Yamazaki, her body twisting in midair, putting all of her weight and considerable momentum behind a reverse thrust kick aimed for Ryuji's forehead, shouting at Ryuji, "Don't forget about ME!"
Ryan stops to reassess the situation Well, THIS is going well   o.o  . o O ( First things first, take the ogre down. )  Ryan, still attempting to get behind Ryuji, tries to get a grip on the map. Torso preferrably, but knowing Ryuji, Ryan will settle for an arm. All he needs is a little leverage to toss him out the window (windows are easily replaced, y'see), and get this out in the street. Maybe he'll get lucky and grab him after Cammy's kick 'distracts' him...
Opal's tears pour down her cheeks, as the man runs at her. She hears Yamazaki, and smiles slightly through her tears. But how could this man (Derek) try to do that to her? How dare he?! Her eyes reveal her sudden lack of sanity, and as Derek runs at her, she hurls the sharp rods at him in defense, eyes widening as she leaps back into the table.
Yamazaki is in mid-laughter then turns to meet Cammy's kick with crossed arms. Being drunk and off balance he takes the hit and is tossed back, right into the waiting Ryan. Now one of two things is going to happen here, either he'll take Ryan with him, or sail past. Either way he is going out the window, and hard.
Derek skids to a stop as the rods are thrown, slightly singed from the mystical flame attack. With one smooth motion he draws his sword and tries to knock the rods out of the air. Two get batted aside but his misjudges on the third and barely manages to move his head out of the way, the dart slicing his cheek. "Okay, that's about enough.." he narrows his eyes at Opal and gives her a pretty strong telekinetic shove towards the door. Gee, how well can one brace themselves on a table?
Cammy lands altogether too gracefully, after she rebounds off of Yamazaki's arms, ending in a low crouch...
Ryan probably masses less than Yamazaki, even though Ryan's a pretty big fellow himself. Tabbot pancakes, anyone?
 Rei who happens to have moved away from the door and over to the window EEEKS! knowing what's coming next and dives out of the way of flying patrons.
Eden has arrived.
Eden backs into the bar, confusedly watching something outside the front doors.
Ryan flys out the window, followed by (with) the pummeled Yamazaki. Apparently, he was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time   @.x
Eden spins arouns hearing the crash. O.O
Ryan heads out the front door.
Ryan has left.
Cait_Sith has arrived.
Opal feels the telekinetic blast as Yamazaki goes flying. So much happening at once, and she's still so drunk. She would indeed fly out the door, except that she landed -into- the table, and the blast forced her against it. Both her and the table go sliding back towards the doorway, maybe into Eden, if the poor incoming doesn't move. But the table catches the doorway, and she is slammed backwards onto it. She gives a loud cry of pain, and falls outside....
Cammy glances at Derek, "Are you ---" She shakes her head and heads out the door after Yamazaki, the crazy witch, and the flirt.
Cammy heads out the front door.
Cammy has left.
Derek blinks as people come running in..and then go flying out..
You leave 7th heaven destined again for the chaos of the city.

Tyr Road [300]
The apartment buildings and hotels give way to smaller, less expensive and privately owned buildings of like sort.  Then those eventually dwindle to what you find on either side of you now.  Yes, various scents of delicious food of a wide assortment of styles, flavours, and nationalities entices your olfactorial senses..attempting to lure you in for a bite, or five.  Make no mistake, however.  It doesn't come as cheap as those fast food places around southern Tyr Road..though you'll definately appreciate the higher quality.  At a point up ahead, the road and street becomes an unpaved trail, towards the start of the steep walls that the mountain atol surrounding Midgaard creates.  A deep gorge carved by forces long forgotten and lost to legend is to the west here..and a suspension bridge has been erected so that pedestrians might take a stroll across it to Sif Way to the east, and marvel at it.
Derek comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
Derek has arrived.
Ryan . o O ( And these were my good pants, too... damn road burn... ...! What the...!? )
Hino_Rei comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
Hino_Rei has arrived.
Ryan turns to look at the beast and the Callan. Out of the frying pan...?
Cammy smirks at Ryan. "You stay down, Ryan, you're hurt." Then she glances at what he's looking at.
Opal is knocked outside, and she lies on her back. Seeing Yamazaki outside, she tries to stand, glaring at the doorway, skinned knees and bruises showing. She seems ready for more...
Eden comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
Eden has arrived.
Ryan (OOC) was ICly followed by Ryuji. He just hasn't popped out yet  n.n;
Derek runs out, still carrying his sword. Bringing his hand up by his shoulder again, he mumbles, "Reflect.."
Well, it's still bigger than a panther. Callan admits defeat, however, and releases the beast's leg. Her tail twitches. Nah, Ryan, they don't look like much of a threat right now. If they're tearing up anything, it's each other--though they're not really doing any -damage-.
Cait_Sith comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
Cait_Sith has arrived.
The galian beast is only playing with Callan, nothing really much... oh!! What's this? The beast suddenly looks up as Ryan makes his noticeable exit.  He quickly tries to break away from Callan, backing away from the new crowd suspiciously. Growling, too... but not making to attack.
Ryan is just upset with having a Metal Demon and a rampaging lycanthrope chewing on each other in the street.
Ryan sweatdrops   . o O ( Lovely... )  He stands up, dusting himself off while Ryuji is dazed. "Eheh..."
Callan's attention catches on something else, too: Derek. Yay! She bounds in his direction--and... stumbles over his narcoleptic corpse as he disconnects? Oops. ^^
Cammy smirks at Ryan. "You sure do know how to show a girl a good time, boyo."
Rei just sorta steps back and out of the way, making sure she can sneak off in case there's a need for a quick henshin.
Derek slides to a stop, watching Opal, "Not bad.. Got any more tricks?"
Opal glares horribly at Derek. She pants through tears, "You... you bastard... leave me alone. Leave Yamazaki alone..." She starts to move back towards her friend that flew out the window.
Ryan mentions, "I just have this knack of meeting the right people..."
Eden steps out again, having dodged the mass exodus. She looks over the scene in astonishment, trying to make some sense of it all.
Cait Sith ums. "What just happened here?"
Derek says, "Sorry, lady..you attacked me first.."
Cammy glances at Opal. "Uh, lady, I'm the one who beat your boyfriend up."
Ryan cracks his knuckles, keeping a CLOSE eye on Ryuji, Callan, and the beast. "Just a bar fight... I think..."
Rei (Oh please please please let him be just her boyfriend and not what I think...)
The galian beast stays well back. Cait by himself is one thing, but all these folks from last night, plus some?! He doesn't think that he's gonna be heading any closer... though any little sort of thing is about to set him off.
Callan dissolves into a blackish puddle, then re-forms as that waifish girl that sometimes walks the streets. "Derek!" she chimes merrily.
Ryan has stood up while you were stunned, Ryuji
Derek doesn't notice Callan until she yells at him. He looks over, sword in hand, and shakes his head, "Not now, Callan..stay back.."
Cammy is standing--not quite over you, but close to it, Yama-chan, her arms crossed.
Cait Sith notices the big hulking guy arriving...
Callan falters and halts, disappointed. She gives Derek a hurt look, and mutters, "I'll bet you don't even -like- bananas" as she turns back toward Galie.
Ryan rubs the back of his neck. Dealing with the ogre is one thing, but he doesn;t want to fight a metal demon AND Vincent TOO. At least, not while wounded. "Hoo-boy..."
Yamazaki lands and shakes his head and slowly rises.scraping off bits of broken glass and wood from the windowframe. He glances to Cammy and rises up suddenly with an uppercut.
Derek answers, "That's not it..I'm just busy right now.." He tightens his grip on his weapon . o O ( Man, I hate fighting girls.. )
Ryan suddenly turns on his right heel, jabbing out with his hand to try to catch Ryuji's punch in his palm. "Enough already! Cripes!"
Cait Sith . o O ( Man, where's Tifa when you need her? )
Callan scuffs a bare foot on the pavement, and shuffles over to set a hand on the Galian beast's arm. "Puckernuts." She's in sulk-mode, now.
Making out with Cloud, that's where.
Nah, Cloud doesn't have the guts to do that.
Cammy halts her reaction when Ryan attempts to stop Ryuji's punch. Moving in--hey, Special Forces doesn't know the meaning of the word 'fair'--she flashes a quick roundhouse aimed at Ryuji's head.
Opal glares at Derek. She does -not- seem happy at all. She yells tearfully at him, "Liar!!! You aimed a mental attack at ME! What, is forced sleep not considered an attack because it didn't WORK?!" She holds her hands out in front of her, looking desperate, riled. This is obviously not what she wanted. "You... You couldn't leave well enough alone..." she sobs, noting Yamazaki still in action. "You ruined a great night!" Her crescent moon flashes, and she spins away from Derek, looking at Cammy and Ryan. "Leave Yamazaki alone!" She cries, suddenly flaring, a lavendar burst of energy coming from her crescent, aimed at the pair.
Cammy's head snaps around as the burst of energy flares towards her and Ryan. Mid-kick, she twists, painfully, on her grounded foot, knocking Ryan backwards enough so that she takes the brunt of the attack upon herself. And boy, does she take it.
Cait Sith's ears flatten. "Zoiks! =oo= "
The galian beast makes as close to a consoling noise as possible and nuzzles Callan's side. He's here, no worries. At the suddenly energy burst Opal sends out, however, he growls with a note of fear, looking up sharply to make sure it's not directed at him... before he takes off.
Callan yelps, and chases after the beast, calling, "Oniisama! Waaaait!"
Galian Beast leaves north.
Galian Beast has left.
Callan has left.
Galian Beast leaves, with Callan following behind him.
Derek doesn't pay much attention to the words, the Sleep spell was meant to put her out of action WITHOUT a fight. But nooo, she went nuts. As Opal attacks Ryan and Cammy, he runs at her, trying to tackle her while her attention is on the two..
Rei (ARGH!  I want to help!  But if I attack Opal, Sapphire will think everything I've said is a lie!!  What do I do!!  Oh please let Derek handle this...)
Yamazaki's widen as the energy blast comes towards them. He cackles clutching his forehead and falls back.
Ryan hasn't made a single attack yet; all his moves have been to slow the fight down. Odd for him, admittedly, not that it helps in this case. As Ryan was keeping his eyes on Ryuji, he doesn't even notice the energy blast until Cammy nudges him out of the way. He curses, loudly, his grip on Ryuji's hand loosening. "Cammy!" He's not about to have ALL his friends be wounded, mind you... Enraged, he swings his now-unoccupied fist in a backhand at Ryuji's face. Ryan only wants to deal with one foe at a time, thanks...
Cait Sith . o O ( That boy ain't right =oo= )
Opal gets tackled, howling in her rage. Apparently, she's at her worst when she's scared, panicked, and confused. She's all three, currently. Feeling the man on her, she gives out a horrible, high-pitched wail of terror, of rage. She just isn't right in the head anyway, and this is yet another sensitive area for her. Derek's practically got a sixth sense about these things. But one phrase repeats over and over in her head as she starts to turn to face him, energy blasts coming from her violently, sporadically from her crescent. "ALONE!! LEAVE Me ALONE!! Don't... PLEASE!"
Eden breaks finally from her hesitation, and into motion....straight into the fight, naturally, toward Opal and Derek.
Cait Sith takes cover, waiving his participation for now, not really sure what to do... =oo=
Rei descretely stays in the shadows and watches.
Derek sure is glad he cast that Reflect spell! Those blasts that come anywhere near him are bounced right back. He doesn't do anything as she wails, actually looking rather calm. "Lady, calm down! I'm not going to hurt you, just keep quiet, got it?"
Derek . o O ( Dammit, she's practically frantic.. )
Cammy is, rather belatedly at this point, flung violently from where she was back into the wall of the 7th Heaven, slumped against the wall and smoking with the remnants of lavender energy.
Opal is beyond reason, now. The blasts keep coming, keep blasting her, jolting her body as everything becomes even more horrible for her. Eyes wide, streaming with tears, Derek's words of 'keep quiet' repeat over and over... it only seems to make things worse, and then she's screaming bloody murder, flailing for what she thinks is her life. "NOOO! NO! NO! NO!!!!! DON'T!! GOD!!!" She cries and screams! "GET OFF!! GET OFFFF! DIAMOND-SAAAAMAA!! HELPPPP!" Blood starts to show at the corners of her lips as the defensive blasts keep zotting her. "YAMAZAKI!!! HELLLP!" She starts struggling with all of her might against Derek. "DON'T!!!"
Ryan is NOT in a good mood now. No siree bob. If Ryuji doesn't go down fast, Ryan will get a bit more violent... One thing you do not do around Ryan is beat up his lady friends. Probably a conditioned response from hanging around Gina so much.
Derek mutters a curse and then does something different, "Cure!" His Restore materia glows and casts the healing spell at Opal.
Derek (OOC) Actually a Cure2..saying Cure Two would sound silly..
Eden skids to a stop before Derek and Opal, not knowing what to do next. She then notices Cammy, who is downed under less bizarre circumstances, and hurries nervously to her instead.
Opal keeps screaming, flailing. The materia starts to do it's work, but the blasts keep coming and coming as she tries to free herself from Derek. "NOOOOOO!" The energy becomes red in color, hotter, more intense, almost crimson. She suddenly freezes in place, eyes wide, and she goes limp, and starts whimpering, voice fading out. "Why... why... why... why... please... why... why... don't... Yamazaki... don't... don't hurt... Ryuji..." the tears course down her cheeks, and she goes into seizures.
Ryan . o O ( Dammit, will somebody tell me what's going on!? )
Cammy is, ah, kinda crisp and out of it, having smacked the back of her head on the wall. It hurt, yessirree, but better she's out than injured and able.
Cait Sith watches the carnage, particularly Opal. "That girl's going crazy! =oo= ".
Derek winces as his defensive spell fades, taking a few of the blasts dead on. A trickle of blood begins to run down from the corner of his mouth, but he keeps Opal pinned, "Dammit.." One more thing to try, and he hopes it works. "Stop.." he says simply, aiming the spell at Opal (OOC: Freezes all actions, but not fatal. Like a super paralysis..)
Eden stretches Cammy carefully out to a more normal position, checking her over injury or shock.
Cait Sith waddles closer again, to Eden and Cammy, to perhaps assist in healing...
Cammy is shocked. Injuries? Bumps, bruises, some contusions and whatnot, but nothing too serious. She's just a little joggled and crisped by a fireblast.
Cait Sith totes his megaphone. "How's she lookin', Eden? Need any extra help with first aid?"
Yamazaki takes the shot, holding his face and shaking his head. Then his head dart over in Opal's direction, hearing her cry. Suddenly something happens, his teeth grit tight as his massive shoulders begin to rise and fall. His eye twitches as he says low. "O..Opal.....hrrrhrrrr..." Seeing her panicking causes something to stir in him, he leans forward staring to the ground, eyes wide as he gasps for breath and shakes.
Eden sees to what simple treatments she can do on her own, then looks up to Cait Sith, nodding quickly. "She's not in real danger, I don't think, but if you can help it would be good."
Ryan doesn't press his attack. Not yet, at least... Ryuji seems to be calming down. Boy, is Ryan going to be surprised, eh? Regardless, he looms over the man, ready to put the smackdown on his if Ryuji tries anything else. And he isn't giving him a very pleasant look, either, all snarls and scowls.
Cait Sith nods, raising his megaphone. A green 'gem' glows, and he then points the megaphone at Cammy. "Restoration, heal!" A green shimmer comes from the end of the megaphone and reaches out for Cammy, falling upon her and working on her wounds...
Opal's crescent flashes at Derek's command. The secretary of the mentalist dark moon prince isn't very susceptible to magick. To physical attacks, absolutely. But she does stop moving... tears pouring from her, she sobs quietly, and whispers... "Fine... fine.... fine... quick. Just quick... leave... Ryuji. Ryuji." Her voice becomes a loud whimper. "Ryuji! RYUJI." She then goes still. Totally still. Her eyes close, and she ceases any movement at all.
 Cammy groans softly, rubbing her eyes as she sits up. "Ah, damn, what's this..."
Cait Sith lowers his megaphone once he's done casting. "Magic! =^-= "
Rei silently watches, (Oh no....I hope she's not hurt to bad...)
Cammy hisses, "Great, I feel sunburned all over..." She stands up, rotating joints and the like, glancing over to the Opal Situation. "...."
Cait Sith flicks an ear... "Err...you're welcome... =oo=; "
Derek winces, those blasts sure didn't tickle. He scowls, and then holds his hand out over Opal's face. Attack? "Cure.." He casts another healing spell on her and then pushes himself to his feet, holding his side
Cammy says, "Huh? Oh, thanks..." Another "..."
Kino_Makoto arrives from the south.
Kino_Makoto has arrived.
Cait Sith grins and looks around...
Cait Sith (OOC) =^^=;
Eden says, "Thank you, Cait Sith.."
Ryan would be over there with Cammy if he could, but he's about to be beaten up by Ryuji in all likelyhood. He'll make it up with a date later maybe, if you'll visit him in the ICu  n.n;
Cait Sith smiles. "No problem! =^^= "
Rei rushes over to Derek for the first time leaving her hiding place, "Are you ok?"
Yamazaki falls forward catching himself with a hand, the sound of his heartbeat and blood rushing flooding his ears. . o (What?? This hasn't happened before...NO! The blood...) Slowly he sways from side to side, on all fours, then clutches his chest as he brings himself to his feet. When he looks over to Opal he sees that she is still now and that Derek is over her. There is a pause then a loud inhuman roar as Yamazaki reels his head back and screams. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" He clutches the sides of his head then shoots his arms up spitting out a spray of blood then looks to Derek, smoke billowing from his mouth as his glowing red eyes lock onto the man, his form panting and seizuring.
Eden stares at Yamazaki, wide-eyed.
Mako turns in horror at the scream and then suddenly notices Derek and Rei. "Derek! Rei!" She runs immediatly over to them. "What's going on?"
Cammy stares at Yamazaki, then, though she be tired and hurt, heads for Ryan. He's a friend. Sure, he ogles her all the time, but he's still a friend, and that doesn't look like Happy Fun Yama.
Derek looks down at the quiet, still form of Opal, and then reaches up to wipe the trickle of blood away from the corner of his mouth. Glancing over at Rei, he nods and then notices Ryuji. Uh oh. That doesn't look good. He grips his sword tightly and mutters, "Cure.."
Cait Sith ducks behind his Mog, peeking over the top of its head. . o O ( Now that boy *really* ain't right! )
Opal feels the strange force trying to aid her. Her eyes fly open... maybe at that, maybe at Ryuji's howl. The man is no longer pinning her, but it ceases to matter. She doesn't even look in his direction now. She tries to scramble to her feet, bleeding, staggering. She sees Ryuji, sees Cammy, and starts hobbling forward. "Yamazaki!" She cries out hoarsely. "Don't! Calm down!!"
Ryan takes a step back. "What the...!?"  . o O ( What the hell is he, a bloody demon!? )   Ryan's not about to let this fight continue, though... Opal is neutralized, so Ryuji is the only threat remaining. He narrows his eyes, and snarls, "I said to STAY DOWN! Omega thunder crash!" Yes, Ryan is actually naming his special moves now. And no, he isn't listening to Opal. All he does is draw his right fist back, then simply launch an uppercut at Ryuji's chin. At supersonic speeds. You can tell from the sonic boom. That'll probably sting if it hits.
Yamazaki's head darts over to Ryan he uppercuts at him, a maddened look in his eyes. The uppercut nails Ryuji causing him to stumble back, but rather than the big man falling his form flashes a crimson color. He spasms then rushes forward at Ryan with an uppercut, his body sliding forward and a faint trail of crimson following from his rising fist. "ITAI!!!!" Blood and smoke rushes from his mouth as he screams.
Opal feels herself growing stronger, more stable. None of this changes where her scrambled mind, is however. Still moving forward towards Ryan and Ryuji, she shakes her head, looking about to start panicking again. "Ryuji!! Please!" She starts to walk more easily, quicker. "Yamazaki!"
Derek blinks, yelling a warning that probably won't help, "Ryan, look out!"
Ryan doesn't even stand a chance. Normally, he might be able to pull a move like that off no sweat, but Ryan's injured now... and he managed to throw his shoulder out doing that. Ouch. Well, it won't hurt as much as what Ryuji's trying... Ryan throws his left arm up to block the uppercut. Ryan's reflexes prove to be in top shape, it seems - the uppercut is blocked. But it doesn't help... there's a *crunch*, and Ryan goes SAILING back, a good 20 feet, only to skid along the pavement, arm broken. Ouchie. It wasn't enough to knock him out, apparently, as he sits up slowly...
Cammy says, "RYAN!!!" Cammy's turn. She screams, a dangerous, dangerous blue fire flaring into her eyes as she reaches beyond consciousness. Backstep. Touch the wall. Push off it and launch her body at Ryuji's gut, feet first, twirling around like a corkscrew and body awash in actinic blue flames...
Eden says, "Ryan!" She again (foolishly) rushes forward toward the fight.
Derek watches Ryan earn some Frequent Flyer miles and then glares at Ryuji. "Girls..please step back.." he says quietly to Makoto and Rei before walking towards the berserk nutcase. After two steps, he touches his fist to his chest, "Haste.."
Ryan manages to hobble back to his feet. This? Compared to the thrashing Harken and Foil gave him, this is nothing. He wipes his cheek with his right hand, letting his left dangle at his side. His mood is not improving much, that's for sure. "That... HURT."
Rei looks over to Mako-chan and takes a few steps back, hardly doing any good really, but at least it's something.
Yamazaki brings his fist down and turns to look at the others, his body hunched as he snarls. At times his head spasms to the side as he twitches, eyes red and blood streaming endlessly from his mouth. As Cammy corkscrews towards her he leaps back and near to where Opal is running to. His body is now on all fours as he punches the ground and cackles. "Gyeeheeheeeheeeee..."
Cait Sith watches in near disbelief! . o O ( These guys are strong! Are they more than plain people? )
Cait Sith . o O ( If they are, it might take some strong intervention! But I don't wanna kill anyone! )
Opal sees Cammy move, sees Yamazaki coming flying towards her. Maybe showing just how foolish she can be, she suddenly cries out in tears, and leaps at him, tackling on top of him, wrapping her arms around him, around his exposed back.
Eden runs up beside Derek, quickly stopping, and watching the fight anxiously. "Get back, Ryan...."
Somewhere on the muck, Haruka has connected.
Cammy crashes into the ground where Ryuji was. Explosion of psychokinetic flames. *BOOM*  At the center, is Cammy, fixated on Ryuji, she smiles, the sort of smile that Ryuji would give, and approaches the big man, her hands bursting with blue flames..
Haruka arrives from the south.
Haruka has arrived.
Rei stands next to Makoto watching a heck of a fight.
Derek is waiting for Cammy to either beat Ryuji's face in or get sent flying..
Haruka walks up the street silently, her hands in the pockets of her jacket
Ryan blinks, taking a step back   . o O ( I -definately- underestimated her... that has to be chi...? )   For haruka's knowledge, Ryan is hanging back from a fight, his left arm hanging limply by his side.
Yamazaki looks up as Opal wraps her arms around him. He stops laughing, his eyes open wide from surprise. He stands up quickly and reaches around himself to grab Opal.
Haruka stops not to far from the crowd, her eyes darting from person to person curiously, cautiously
Cait Sith stares...
Ezekiel arrives from the south.
Ezekiel has arrived.
Psst! Yama-chan, Yama-chan! You've gotta psycho-hose-beast in the shape of a shapely girl stalking after you. Recognize the smile? It's yours, after all.  And she's closing in.
Kazuma has arrived.
Kazuma walks by, whistling.
Ezekiel seems to wander up but keep at a distance...  not quite sure what such a large group of people are doing and not sure he wants to find out. c.c
Haruka shrugs to herself as she steps around the crowd, heading into the cafe. She obvously has no concern for a personal fight
Opal's eyes widen at Cammy, even as Ryuji grabs her. She looks pretty darned spooked by all of this. She shakes her head, and says in a shaky whisper to Ryuji, "Run.... run." She won't move from at him, won't let go, not until he does just that.
Crunch.. crunch... crunch... the sound of gravel under foot. She's closer... moving with deliberate slowness, those burning hands ready to reach out and -touch- someone...
Haruka has left.
Derek blinks as Ryuji grabs Opal, half expecting him to throw her at some building..
Ryan takes another step back   . o O ( This... is getting out of hand )  He shouts, in a rather futile gesture, "Cammy!?"
Yamazaki switches his hand placement and grabs Opal by the neck, the muscles in his arm coiling tight as his grip tightens slowly. He shakes his head and stares with a zombified expression. ".... .... !"
Kazuma blinks as a woman whose hands are on fire walks past him. He stops, which isn't unusual, really.
Cait Sith erks to himself! . o O ( This is not looking good! I think I ought to do something... )
Cammy halts her forward stride, and--with barely a crouch--springs upon Ryuji, glowing hands outstretched as she dives for his throat, ignoring Opal as a non-threat.  She heard something snap in Ryan's body, and she wants to hear the same from Ryuji. Preferably his neck.
Ryan takes a step forward this time.  . o O ( - Definately- not good... )
Kazuma pulls a red chinese yo-yo out of a jacket pocket as he takes in the scene. . o O ( ...man, I hope the babe with the pigtails isn't the bad guy. ) ^_^
Eden is standing by Ryan, almost frozen in place as she stares on at the fight.
Cait Sith . o O ( Maybe that girl can do it...I just hope she won't need another healing... )
Opal's eyes keep widening as Cammy approaches, like in some horror film. She feels his hand on her neck, tightening... tightening... she feels herself starting to lose it again... "N-No..." she rumbles. She screams, piteously, as Cammy lunges. "NOOOO! STOP! IYA DAAA!" She blasts again, red energy coming from her crescent, blazing towards Cammy, towards anyone that jars her position. This guy she's defending could break her like a twig, and may on instinct, and she knows it.
 
Now, normally, blasts like that would take Cammy out. Skills or no skills. But, you see, she's kinda... er... turbocharged right now. And the blasts only slow her down, as she bats them down, into the ground, with her own hands, ignoring the pain of the clashing energies. It does, however, force her to abort her fullbody lunge, instead coming to a halt about an arm's length from Ryuji.
Derek actually steps back. This is definitely getting out of hand. He winces and gingerly touches his side again..
Ezekiel has disconnected.
Ryan is at a loss for what to do now. Both Ryuji and Cammy have gone bonkers, and Ryan's already gotten tagged by Ryuji already. Not a good situation for our hero. While he'd normally just switch to kicks, Ryuji has a hostage now. Not good indeed. So, Ryan just repeats his useless gesture. "Cammy!?"
Cait Sith replaces a green gem with another on his megaphone... . o O ( Maybe I can slow this madness down before it snowballs too much... )
Yamazaki blinks as the blast from Opal rips past his head and over his shoulder. "..??" A quick grunt is all he manages as he turns around slowly his grip still around Opals throat, but luckily not tight enough yet to strangle the girl, but still enough that he isn't letting go. He looks to Cammy and takes a step back, wiping blood from his lips. Its a good thing he wasn't startled, he handles the girl like a doll and any movment might have had deadly results.
Kazuma palms the yo-yo, tossing it into the air with a spin and catching it on it's suddenly quite-significantly-longer spike. Hefting it like a staff, tucked under his arm, he says cheerfully to Ryuji, "Hey, you know, I just got here, but...holding a girl like that, I just have to ask...you got a chiropractor's license, bub?" He takes a step over towards the blonde woman who just got zapped, and says more quietly, "You ok, ojou-chan?"
Cait Sith raises his megaphone to the sky, and the green gem begins to glow, along with a blue one right next to it...he concentrates...
Ryan decides to do -something-. Only thing he can do, really... Ryuji has a @%!& -hostage-. He charges forward - towards Cammy. If she attacks Ryuji, the girl... even though she blasted Cammy before... might get killed. Ryan likes beating people up, but he isn't a murderer, and he doesn't like seeing people get killed. As he closes in, he reaches out with his right hand, and tries to grab Cammy's shoulder. "Snap out of it, dammit!"
Opal looks to Cammy, breathing audibly through her choked throat. She whispers hoarsely, crying again. "P-please. Stop. I... we just came for a drink... please..." She doesn't dare move, though her crescent glows without blasting. She moves her wide eyes to Ryuji. "Please. Stop. Yamazaki. ...You'll kill me... I just wanted to party, you know?" She tries to smile.
Eden runs forward after Ryan, alarmed. "Wait!"
Derek sheathes his sword, he probably won't be using it anyway. The bleeding at the corner of his lip hasn't stopped yet so he reaches up with his thumb to wipe it off
Ryan is not known for his common sense, no.
Contact. Bing! Cammy spins around. New threat. Action? Attack. She snaps a hard punch at Ryan's face--that stops literally a half-inch away from his nose as she realizes who she was about to attack... and just like that, all the fire, the anger buzzing through her head like a cloud of angry, venomous insects fades away--and with the withdrawal, it's as if someone cut a switch in Cammy's head, because she suddenly just slumps forward, limply.
Cait Sith points his megaphone at the carnage. "Esuna!" A blizzard of yellow sparkles begins to rush for Opal, Yamazaki, and Cammy...this spell is a remover of negative effects and statuses...Cait Sith hopes this will calm these three down...
Kazuma lets Ryan handle Cammy. "Hey, blondie..." Obviously speaking to Ryuji, the thumbs towards Ryan and Cammy. "Good guys are busy. Drop the girl and take off while we're distracted and stuff, ok? Anything happens to her, I guarantee we get a lot more focused."
Derek looks at Kazuma, snorts, and then crosses his arms..
Yamazaki stares into Opal's eyes with his ablaze with a dark crimson color. As Cammy suddenly attacks Ryan he is startled and steps back, his free hand drawing his knife out of instinct. Then suddenly he stops, his hand opens wide dropping the blade to the ground where it sticks. He then glances to Opal again and stares, the smoke has ceased and his breathing has slowed somewhat, as if he was slowly coming out of his state.
Ryan doesn't even flinch as the punch is leveled... I guess he can stand being beat up, as long as it's for a good cause. Or maybe he knew Cammy would snap out of it... either way, he was already there, luckily, to catch Cammy. Seeing Ryuji looming there... even if he isn't attacking... he drags Cammy backwards, even using his broken left arm to lift her up. "Dammit dammit dammit...!"
Ezekiel watches for a couple moments... finding things a bit too hectic for him to even begin to get involved.  He shies off and turns to head back down the street.
Derek looks over at Ryan and sighs, then walks towards him, "Hey..hold still so I can take care of your arm.."
Kazuma blinks a few times at Ryuji and Opal, having paused dangerously as the knife was drawn. . o O ( ...is there a history of insanity in your family? I'd call that a big yes. )
Eden takes hold of Cammy to help. "Ryan, be careful!"
Cammy is like a sack of grain, Ryan. And probably heavier than she looks. But don't get the wrong idea, it's all muscle. o_
Ryan snaps, "I AM holdin' still!" He's still holding on to Cammy, hoping she'll recover quickly.
Kazuma OOC doesn't go berzerk, except on the dance floor.
Opal feels another kind of a magick coming over her. She is, again, pretty resistant to it, though it has some effect. Of course, she wasn't freaking out anymore, she was hoping for a calm. Her crescent stops glowing, and she looks back at Ryuji, her eyelids drooping slightly, no longer wide. She whispers softly, soothingly to Ryuji, still obviously tensed. "...Ryuji. Ryuji-dono. We came to drink, ne? Please... you're killing me. I tried to help you. Please..."
Cait Sith lowers his megaphone, observing the result...
Jill arrives from the south.
Jill has arrived.
Kazuma lets the lady talk, though remains ready, quite willing, and able to clout the fellow upside the head if he goes for the knife on the ground.
Ezekiel glances at Jill as she walks up, "Ummm...  lots of weird shit going on.  I'm getting the hell out of here." o.o;
Derek smirks, "Yeah, yeah.." He holds his right hand over Ryan's arm, "Cure." Cure2, again. Not many left..
Jill says, "...."
Ryan doesn't visibly change, except for the nifty green squaresoft sparklies. The fracture wasn't compound to begin with, luckily, so it heals clean. He still doesn't let go of Cammy until he knows she's alright. Going from berserk to unconscious is not necessarily an imrpovement.
Cammy is, however, quite unconscious. It might be best to get her somewhere she can lie down. On something soft, comfortable, and fairly supportive.
Ezekiel leaves south.
Ezekiel has left.
Ryan carries Cammy back into the bar, then. Things seemed to have calmed down out here... and Derek and company can handle it if it flares up again.
Ryan has left.
Cammy has left.
Ryan leaves, with Cammy following behind him.
Eden has left.
Derek sighs, "There." He looks over, remembering Makoto and Rei, and slowly walks over, "Evening..ladies.." His smile is slightly pained.
Yamazaki shakes his head then looks around as his body begins to tingle from a new sensation. His eyes flutter shut as he swoons and falls to one knee, but he keeps his hand around Opal's neck, though it is now a weak grip. Slowly his eyes open and stare at Opal again confused, the red glowing hue starting to flicker away, his breathing has also slowed.

Demando appears suddenly in levitation, fading in like a mirage.
Kazuma hefts the hammer over one shoulder, and hmmms. He asks softly to Opal, "...you ok here, kid?"
Mako eyes wide with concern races over to Derek. "Derek! Are you all right?!"
Cait Sith . o O ( Hmmm...well, I guess the spell did all it can... )
Rei's eye's which were fastened to Opal and Yamazaki turn to Derek suddenly in concern. "Are you ok?" and races after Makoto
Derek nods, "Yep..just a few bruises.." He gives a thumbs up, "I'll be fine."
Mako examines Derek in concern. "Are you sure?"
Derek says, "Of course. Lemme just go get my jacket.."
Diamond phases into form in the air, eyes wide and very, very angry. "Opal!!" He blurts. He sees the whole scene... and his secretary in the grip of the man he paid! He phases out, in, right next to Yamazaki. Snapping his arm out, he *snatches* the limp, startled girl from Ryuji's loose grip, taking her in his arms.
Opal blinks, and feels herself getting grabbed.
Rei blinkblinks at seeing Diamond enter.
Mako turns at the sudden noise and gasps when she sees Diamond.
Cait Sith . o O ( Who *are* these people? )
Derek looks over at Diamond. Awww, man. This guy had better just be here for Opal..
Jill is watching and looking very confused.
Yamazaki stares at the spot where Opal was at just a few seconds ago, he doesn't move, frozen in a hypnotic state.
Kazuma steps backwards at Diamond's entrance...'accidently' kicking the knife into a convienent alley.
Derek walks over to the door of the Seventh Heaven and just reaches inside for his coat. He removes his sword scabbard, slips it on, and then resecures his weapon..
Opal looks up, and her eyes fill with tears. "Diamond-sama... please. It's not his fault."
Kazuma whistles to himself, rocking back and forth on his heels. "I'll let you folks work this one out. Hope you're ok, ojou-san. ^_^"
Kazuma has left.

Diamond's eyes are filled with rage as he looks down at Ryuji. He starts to levitate out, sparing a glance to Rei and Mako, before whispering to Opal harshly, "Silence!"
Derek looks up at the levitation, standing near Makoto and Rei..
Rei's eyes don't leave Diamond as she watches him and Opal intently.
Jill is just staring at the whole weird scene.
Yamazaki slowly blinks, the glow fading from his eyes. Slowly he looks around then leans down coughing harshly.
Rei (He knows that mad man....this is not good....)
Opal whispers, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry... it's nobody's fault... please don't leave him here, my Prince."
Cait Sith . o O ( Color me clueless! )
Mako watches Diamond and Opal intently and then shifts her eyes to Ryuji. (So they have a new friend? What are they up to.......?)
Diamond gives Opal a piercing look, shaking his head at her as he starts to lose form, her in his arms. "Silence yourself," he commands her. "I didn't pay *you* to protect *him!*" He sighs. "If he is lucky, he will live until I send brother for him."
Levitating slowly, Prince Demando fades away in a series of soft, dark flashes.
Cait Sith huhs. "Well...that was odd..."
Jill asks, hoping someone can answer, "What was that all about?"
Rei gives Makoto a serious look, (Pay him......damn.  We've got trouble)
Derek sighs and shakes his head. He's not even in the mood to go kick Ryuji's tail up and down the street anymore. Lightly touching his ribs again, he closes one eye . o O ( Lovely..and they were still sore from last night.. ) Turning to Makoto and Rei, he puts on a smile, "Either of you in the mood for a bite to eat?"
Foil_Riposte has arrived.
Sheila has arrived.
Foil_Riposte arrives, with Sheila following behind.
Mako watches Ryuji and then glances at Rei as if to say  What is going on?
Foil_Riposte mumbles, "As  .....  .....  .....  ..  ..  it's  pretty  .....  .....  .....  .." to Sheila.
Foil leads Sheila around the crowd and further into the City.
Derek looks over at the people walking in, looking a little roughed up and even singed..
Yamazaki crawls forward then collapses. His body is still as he lies there, breathing shallow.
Sheila follows Foil along, but side glances at the people for a brief moment before turning her attention back to her guide.
There is a bright flash, then Sapphire's image as it fades into view in a flicker of white light.
Safiiru has arrived.
Foil gives Derek a small smile as he walks by.  Chuckling a bit..but doesn't involve himself.  As he just walks on by.. hands in his pockets.
Rei sighs and glances downward. (Could it be Diamond's lying to us.  Does he really want peace....?)
Mako turns towards Derek ,all thought of Ryuji temporarily wiped form her mind. She watches him for a moment, eyes glittering with concern and then suddenly leaps at him, wrapping her arms around his neck in a tight embrace.
Derek blinks, watching Foil for a moment. He doesn't recognize him, and right now that's probably a good thing..
Foil simply walks on
Foil_Riposte leaves south.
Foil_Riposte has left.
Sheila has left.
Foil_Riposte leaves, with Sheila following behind him.
Derek erks as Makoto throws herself at him, making a face at the sudden pain in his side. He bears with it, even chuckling, "Hey..it's okay.."
Jill looks more confused than ever.
Yamazaki doesn't move, unconsious and utterly worn out.
Sapphire's image flickers into view over head. Slowly he lowers to the ground and walks over to Ryuji, his eyes locked to the man glaring. "Monster...!"
Cait Sith just blinks...
Mako buries her head in Derek's chest. "I was so worried! When I saw you standing there like that........I just......"
Jill says, "......"
Rei blinks and looks up seeing Sapphire, she takes a few intent steps forward passing Derek and Makoto.
Sapphire opens his hand and holds it over Ryuji, dark energy begining to flicker around his fingers. "You let her get harmed!!"
Derek reaches up and pats Makoto lightly on the back, "Hnn..I'm okay, Makoto. I've been worse off than this before.."
Yamazaki is pretty much helpless, he doesn't stir.
Rei stops a few yards from the two and watches, listening carefully...
Rachel comes out of the 7th Heaven Bar.
Rachel has arrived.
Derek blinks, looking over at Ryuji and Sapphire. He's not about to go and stop the guy..
Mako nods to Derek and then turns around slowly,sensing a large power taking shape.
Rachel exclaims, "Derek!  You're needed inside!"
Jill turns and flees. @_@
Jill leaves south.
Jill has left.
Derek looks over quickly at Rachel, "Right!" He turns and pats Makoto's cheek, "I'll catch up with you later, okay?" Then he runs off..
Rachel looks quickly about to see what she's just walked into.
Cait Sith is about as active as a recovering patient... . o O (Uhh...duhh, I had Jell-O today...)
Sapphire closes his eyes as he takes a calming breath. "This is unforgivable.." When he opens his eyes again they are on Ryuji's form, dark energy shifting from his fingers and to the still man's body to lift him up.
Derek has left.
Yamazaki's body slowly rises, easily lifted by the unseen force.
Rachel has left.
Rei watches curiously..
Mako's eyes watch Derek dissapear and then she turns and walks over to where Rei is standing.
Sapphire closes his eyes and turns away, waving his arm out to send the man's body at the nearby wall.
Rei blinkblinks
Mako watches in amazement. She whispers to Rei, "What is going on?"
Yamazaki's body levitates then is sent hurtling into the wall with brutal force. Bricks and other debris are sent flying on impact. *WHUMP!* Then his body falls limp to the ground, pelted with the loosened bricks.
Rei slowly shakes her head, "I'm not sure if I know myself..."
Mako jumps as Ryuji hits the wall, her body shaking.
Sapphire closes his fist and lowers it, he summons a teleporting spell on Ryuji as he turns back to look at the man before he disappears.
Cait Sith is stunned as well as confused, effectively paralyzed from any action... . o O ( This is too much! Too much! =OO= )
Yamazaki's image flashes, dark energy surrounding it. Then he vanishes in a flash of bright light.
Ryuji_Yamazaki teleports out of the room.
Diamond arrives.
Sapphire looks over to Rei, head bowed. "I..I am sorry you had to see this. I will find you later." He looks into Rei's eyes as his image flickers then fades in a flash of white.
The image of Sapphire flashes, then fades to white as he teleports away..
Safiiru has left.
Mako turns to Rei curiously. "What was that about?"
Rei sighs, "It's a long story.  I'm not even completely sure what happened myself."
Diamond finds substance, slowly levitating downward until his feet touch the ground. He looks towards the restaurant, and begins to walk in, calmly.

Seventh Heaven Bar - Main Room
Tifa's Seventh Heaven Bar has a campy feeling to it, primarily constructed of dark wood with occasional items for decoration.  Several worn tables grace the area near the door, looking beaten up from years of patrons.  The bar is more well kept, stocked with a vast amount of alcoholic beverages and components for mixed drinks.  The room is just a tad dimly lit, feeling cozy and familiar at the same time.  Other areas of interest are the entrance to the kitchen, and a porch with some comfy chairs.  All in all, the Seventh Heaven is a nice tribute to what someone can put together for a business if they try.  A machine for a game similar to pinball sits on the less used side of the room, sporting an "Out of Order" sign.  Most of the damage that was obvious only a little while ago is now repaired with more permenant fixes, so the bar once again is back to it's former self.
Kazuma looks over at Demando. "Dude, your girlfriend ok?"
Ryan sits next to Cammy, who is positioned on a seat in one of the booths. Derek and Kazuma are nearby.
Ryan . o O ( Great, more weirdoes... )
Diamond slowly steps inside the probably debris-filled room. He blinks at Kazuma, and shakes his head at the man. "She is not my girlfriend." He states dryly. "She is my employee." He scans around the room... as if searching for someone.
Rachel is watching the others nervously.
Kazuma shrugs. "You employee ok?"
Cammy takes a deep breath, her head tilting backwards... all the bruises and such she earned in her fight with Ryuji fade away.  But--some of them still remain--about half of them. Curious, that.  Cammy rubs her eyes.  "Thanks, Derek. I think I better get home before Yuffie freaks out."
Diamond spots Derek, just as he sees an opal crusted hair stick. He leans down to take it, as he hears Cammy addressing the person he's looking for. "You." He says in his deep tone to Derek, walking forward.
Ryan narrows his eyes at that, and shakes his head. "Just as long as you think you're okay." He exhales, and mentions, "Mind if I stop by tomorrow? I'd like to speak to Yuffie, and make sure you're okay..."
Cammy says, "Uh--I guess, Ryan. If you want." She slips out of the booth, and gives a quick, if not entirely truthful, smile, to Ryan and Rachel and Derek. "Thanks, to all of you."
Derek looks up after the spell takes effect. He certainly looks tired after all of this, "Yeah?"
Cammy heads out the front door.
Cammy has left.
Somewhere on the muck, Rubeus has connected.
Ryan stands up, and shakes his head. Something funky is up with that girl...
Kazuma ^_^ "Well...that was pretty f***ed up."
Kazuma looks over at Ryan. "I think she liked you, Ryan. She didn't kick you in the nuts."
Diamond nods, his eyes pausing to watch Cammy as she exits. Then he looks over and nods in answer to Kazuma before resuming. He says softly to Derek, "I was told that the damage here was done by my employee, in addition to injury inflicted to others. I am here to compensate, in any manner I can."
Ryan smirks at Kazuma. "Yeah, she only nearly punched me in the face." He looks over at Diamond as he speaks, unsure what to make of the offer.
Derek blinks at that and then looks back at Ryan. Turning back to Diamond, he points out, "Well, paying to have the window replaced would be nice.."
Kazuma looks over at Diamond, "That, and your employee deserves a few days off. ^_^"
Ryan . o O ( She went berserk, though... never saw her like that before... was so much like Cloud, that time... )
Derek sighs tiredly, "Anyway, why don't you talk to my friends here, mister? I need to go get some rest.."
Diamond nods simply, and pulls a nice, large wad of bills, and sets it on the counter. He says to Kazuma, turning, "The foolish child had no notions of her 'friend's past vendettas, and thought him an innocent man." He then nods to Derek
Diamond turns to leave, then, with no further explanations.
Kazuma whistles at the cash, and nods to Diamond. "Poor kid."
Derek heads out the front door.
Derek has left.
You leave 7th heaven destined again for the chaos of the city.
Tyr Road [300]
Rei o O (Guess I'm not going in after all...)
Diamond steps out of the restaurant, a very blank look on his face.
Cait Sith shares that blank look...
Rei's smile at Cait fades as her dark eyes move towards Diamond watching his every move.
Cait Sith . o O ( Hmmm...Rei must not like that guy... )
Derek glances over and waves, looking much more tired than when he went in. He still smiles as he approaches Makoto and Rei, "Sorry about that, had to help someone out.."
Diamond notices Rei, Cait and Kino. He stops briefly, staring at Rei, but saying nothing. "...."
Mako smiles up at him. "It's ok. Is everything all right?"
Rei doesn't notice Derek as she meets Diamond's gaze.
Derek nods, "Yeah, I was going to go patch myself up now.."
Diamond locks eyes with Rei, standing still. He keeps her in his icy gaze, his emotionless stare.
Mako's eyes sparkle with concern. "Oh you poor thing. Does it hurt?"
Rei's bold nature shines through as she meets Diamond's steely gaze.  Her dark eyes search his for some sort of explination but don't give a hint of accusation for the events that have occured tonight.
Cait Sith . o O ( That Derek...just a ladies' man! Gee...I wonder whatever happened to Skuld? )
Derek smiles, "Just a little..nothing serious." He just got hit point blank with one of Opal's attacks, no big deal..
Diamond's eyebrows slowly lift, and his low voice softly carries towards Rei. "Good evening, Hino Rei."
Derek glances over at Diamond when he addresses Rei . o O ( Does this guy know them? )
Mako carefully examines Derek, not buying his medical analysis. "Are you sure?"
Rei blinks at the broken silence.  She stands there for a moment before giving a curt nod, "Good evening, Prince Diamond."
Mako turns to Rei and Diamond and watches them silently.
Diamond isn't going to waste time. His voice is a deep monotone, and he asks bluntly, "Are you injured?"
Derek turns back to smile at Makoto. Whoops, bad idea moving that quickly. He winces, but covers it up with a smile, "Sure I'm sure.."
Mako smiles at Derek and then turns back to Diamond and Rei.
Rei adresses Diamond.  Doubts running through her mind over the Dark Moon clan's intentions in this world once more. "No, thankyou.  However.....my friend was slightly injured."
Derek glances at Rei, being a little stubborn, "I'll be fine, really.."
Rei doesn't return Derek's glace, her eyes fixated on Diamond.
Honey arrives from the south.
Honey has arrived.
Honey has left.
Diamond isn't sure which friend she means, but he's pretty sure it is probably Derek. He nods, his expression calm. "I do apologize for Opal's behavior. She has a number of... problems. I fear that this situation has brought the worst in her. I do hope it will never occur again."
Derek . o O ( Yeah, no %@#$ Sherlock.. )
Mako takes a hesitant step in Diamond's direction, her eyes examining his face for anything that might reveal his intentions.
Cait Sith . o O ( You win the Understatement of the Year Award! =^^= )
Rei gazes at Diamond, her stance straight and tense at speaking with a former enemy.  If there's one thing Rei will not accept, it's the injurying of her friends...and it shows.  "As do I."
Mako nods. face.
Diamond's gaze move from Rei to Mako for a moment, then back again. He starts to move upward, levitating slowly. He says nothing more, no readable emotion on his face.
Levitating slowly, Prince Demando fades away in a series of soft, dark flashes.
Demado has left.
