Sigurd

It probably not a good idea to ask her about the bacon straight away.  So instead he said, "Its dangerous to be out here at this time.  You should not walk around so carelessly.  It is a good way to get robbed.  When you walk, make sure that it appears you have a clear purpose for being where you are, or you will seem to be some hapless tourist."

Fran

Fran readied her spear and leveled it towards the crazy bearded hobo. "Everyone knows its dangerous, I'm strong enough that I can protect myself, don't worry. And pardon me for saying this, but your appearance isn't exactly stunning. You look just about right for a robber."

Saber

Why did she even bother with these two? The blond servant had to hold back any signs of displeaure from showing after hearing Grigori's thoughtless question, it sounded she wanted to squeeze all the knowledge of the Baroness. While she dd applaud the intention, her way of going about it left much to be desired. Such bluntness had no place in the courts of the high and mighty.

A small smile was all the blond woman supplied to the sudden strange feeling.

"Lady Valerie, let's not put a damper on things now. I'm sure there are many mutually beneficial gains for this, extending far beyond some mere exchanging of knowledge. But only if we keep things in their proper place."

[Thedoctor]

Molly

"How disappointing."

With that simple statement the maid turned around and walked away. The fool wasn't even worth playing with. She thought she had found something interesting for once but she had been wrong... that angered her. It grew like a steaming puddle deep down, it grew within her as she left him alone.

She would have to satisfy herself with something else.

[YOLF]

Sera

"Ack!" she yelped, her clothes chocking her as she was thrust upward.  She actually didn't mind being treated like this, so long as she didn't die.  Besides, he didn't look too bad with those fangs and that stare. 

"I am," she said, shuttering in fear.  "I am even better than the best healer.  Life and death are just states of being.  That is what I was trying to show you."

Raikou

The hybrid clicked his tongue and dropped her, leaving her fearful visage lost for a target. So existing as a wraith was no different from living? Was that why specters seemed to hide behind her silhoette, and what she wanted to prove in that interrupted moment of threat?

"States of being my ass," he scathingly commented, looking for the victim of her sudden mania, and turning to find him painfully whimpering on the ground. Raikou disregarded the sparks and fear flaring in the room, as well as the anxious person who ran in to hold the injured man, and stepped closer. "Life is not easily given, and death can't just be exchanged for it."

The words echoed behind him for Sera, and then hallow brilliance filled the bar. Raikou's wings unfurled into thin air, radiating power that could both heal and sear.

Sigurd

"Please do not hurt this frail old man," he said, holding his hands up in surrender.  "It appears we have both misjudged each other based on appearances.  Besides, despite your words, you are not afraid are you?"

His nose twitched as he took in another whiff of bacon.  It was like her sweat was made from the leftover cooking oil that came from the bacon.  But that can't be right.  Did she just stuff her clothes with the stuff?!

Sera

Sera let out a sigh, her breath suddenly becoming so cold that the spirit leaving her body was visible for a moment.  The soul shot next to the man, growing in shape until it resembled a boy in his mid teens.  He stood behind Sera, his naive eyes almost shimmering with worry.  He had black hair, a clean face and dressed pretty casually.  His clothes were nothing special, a T shirt and a pair of jeans.

"Sir! Please let me help," he said, placing his hand on Ray's shoulder.

Meanwhile, Sera ignored Ray's words, allowing her dismissive gaze to express her disappointment in him.  He didn't believe her, allowing his own biased world view to infest his actions with hypocrisy.

[YOLF]

Raikou

His teeth gnashed audiably against each other, and he slapped the hand of the boy off his shoulder. "I don't know you," he said, dismissing them and walking forward another step. The waiter holding her wounded coworker cried hesitantly, "W-wait!"

"Relax," Raikou sighed and faintly raised a smile. Light extended from his wings, pouring over them, and despite its aggressive aura, its weight was a comforting one. The man's wounded flesh and skin knitted itself together from the gashes as splinters fell off, in an instant restoring him and clearing the pain throbbing in his skull.

He let out a clearing groan and blinked in recognition, looking up at the punk-looking man who had seemingly healed them. "Wha...thank you?"

Raikou shrugged, letting the guy's partner fuss over him as the tension in the bar slightly subdued. His wings closed, disappearing along with the crimson pall they had cast, and dangerous eyes darted back to Sera.

Fran

Fran didn't lower her spear. She didn't like the way this guy was talking. It sounded really off. She couldn't quite place it. "What are you bothering me for, then? Are you hungry or something?" Fran used her powers to create a big pile of bacon and eggs behind him.

[SINIB]

Olga Marie

Marie could feel the tension going up in the room they'd retired to. Grigori's question had been far too to the point, Valerie seemed to have gotten desperately uncomfortable for some reason, and was furtively glancing around. Olga stood up to break the atmosphere. "Lady Valerie, would you like anything to eat or drink? If there's anything bothering you I'll make sure to deal with it in a heartbeat." She didn't particularly want to give away her secrets to a vampire, anyway. Especially one she didn't know.

[yinsukin]

Sigurd

Oh god.

A literal pile of bacon and eggs appeared behind him, as if gifted by the gods.  If she had done that to him before they started talking, he would have rushed the food without a second thought.  However, experience was his greatest adviser and he knew this was a trap.

"I am," he answered honestly, still holding his hand where she could see them.  "Although, I am more curious than anything.  You must be either amazingly strong or insanely naive to wander back here, much less be so calm when confronting a scary old man like myself.  But putting my own personal assumptions aside, are you hiding food under your clothes?"

In a way he already knew the answer.  This woman must have power over food or something, perhaps similar to that one weird dream he had when he passed out hungry, of a woman taking the form of his dead wife, using magic to create all of his favorite foods.

Medaka

"Don't worry," she said with a bright reassuring smile.  "I won't break anything else.  I'll be sure to train outside."


It didn't take long for Medaka to finish the window.  After all, she had learned how to do these sorts of things when she was vary young.  So she sat there, looking at the window from outside, checking for anything she had missed.

Sera

"Yes, but thats because im dead," the boy said, watching the miracle of healing unfold before him.  He stood there and let the weight of his words sink in.  In the meantime, Sera silently stared back at Ray, her frown slowly morphing into a weak pout.  She crossed her arms and began tapping her toe, as if she was impatiently waiting for something to happen.  Neither of them seemed to care about what was going on in the bar.

Fran

Fran's face soured. "Don't make weird assumptions about people. Of course I don't do weird stuff like that. It's because of how I smell, isn't it!" The young girl scowled at him. She lowered her spear a bit though.

[EmbreFrosste]

Medaka

Adrienne

Adrienne was out walking through the area, making her rounds through the streets, trying to familiarize herself with the area. She spotted Medaka sitting outside looking at a window and was immediately made aware of her strangely... distractingly obvious air of authority and superiority, yet there she was, just sitting on the ground outside, doing nothing remotely intimidating (yet). Also why is she just sitting there? Well, it looks like it's time to find out.

Adrienne walked over to Medaka, and cheerily asked, "So, what's going on over here?" as she simultaneously took a seat on the ground next to her, about two strides away so as not to invade her personal space.

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

"Why don't you just crank it in?"

A familiar voice called out from behind the skeleton that was picking a bone..... from the barrel. It was Neptune of course, who appeared to be highly amused at his conundrum. It wasn't every day you saw a skeleton loot a barrel for spare limbs, this would count as a first even for her, and she had seen a lot of strange stuff.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

"Oh so you want to face me." Her face lit up as if she had realized something funny, something very funny to her but not so much for poor Joe. "Am I correct to assume you are free to move however you like while defending? Since you never mentioned any specific rules for that."

She then gave him her brightest smile. "I will look forward to it, last time you were truly wonderful to look at Joe." She didn't rise to the provocation in the slightest, instead encouraging  him on to do his best, no better than his best. "We can do it now, why don't you try and score over there...." She motioned towards the one to their left. "...And I'll defend it."

[Kat]

Swims-With-Salmons

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind." She noticed the girl's modesty. Was it lack of confidence or low self-esteem or she was genuinely that humble about her own abilities? Anyway, it was auspicious that she didn't fall into hubris that many practicioners of magic and sorcery displayed. And she had a husband or boyfriend at her side who supported emotionally her. So yeah, she wasn't worried about the couple's attitude.

"If we don't find a good place to observe them, I know some tricks that maybe could let us observe closer. It'd take some time and the method is not as secure as your familiar. In some way, at least. It'd hinge on whether our 'prey' would think that cockroach or rat spirits are beneath her notice. But that's out of question if she's too paranoid or goes out of her way to kill weaker beings like them." She explained the more risky alternative they had. "I personally think we should stick to the current plan as much as we can unless we run into complications."

As for the vantage point... "Hmmmm." The shifter used her Gift to enhance her vision and look for a good place. "Do you think that's a good place too, sir?" She adressed Shirou as she pointed at what she found after few moments of observation.

[yinsukin]

Joe

Oh I don't think I like that look, he thought as his grin wavered and Jeanne's confidence rose.

He paused, thinking about how he should answer the question.  Then, he gave her a   "Yeah.... if you don't have the ball you can move freely.  But if stealing the ball results in an attack on the person, that is considered a foul."

Strangely enough, Jeanne didn't come off as super competitive, even as she challenged him to get passed her.  Well, she did but almost like a coach or trainer trying to spur on their student.  But then again, maybe it was her disarmingly warm smile that stirred something within him, completely changing the context of her challenge.  He would help Sakura recruit teammates in a second, after this was settled.

"Uhhh thanks," he said, unsure of how to take the compliment.  There was still a warm feeling he got from her words and her smile.  "I don't mind helping you practice, but this won't count towards anything.  The actual game is where we will settle things."

Instead of letting her respond, he immediately tried to rush past her, his increased dribbling pace signaling his intent.  He was actually slightly slower since he had to worry about maintaining his ball control but hopefully catching her by surprise would be enough to pass her.

Medaka

"Hmm?" Medaka asked turning her head towards an unfamiliar voice.

It was a boy who appeared to be in his late teens to early 20s.  He was a bit of a baby face, but it was the kind of younger look that made him appear cute.  She got on her hands and knees, closing the distance between the two.  Of course, from this angle, it would be easy to see her massive J cup sized breasts swaying back and forth as her shoulders and back contracted.  "There is no need to be so shy," she said, looking up at him with a smile.  "I am merely fixing a window that I broke.  May I ask who you are?"
