As Kamin returned to the main hall after depositing her bag in the room, she noticed everyone was standing in the exact same position as before, only this time staring intently at each other.
"Uh, guys, let's all try to be friends, yeah? The atmosphere around here is seriously..." Kamin trailed off as no one moved.
"...I guess I'll be off for the armoury, then..." Kamin slowly made her way to the front door.

Oh no I think I got spotted...
fixedName put the process in a background queue, and changed the chomping into a foreground task.
I will need to be very prepared...

Kyouko woke up to find herself exactly where she was in the chair.
Amazing, she had not been attached through the night.
Some competition this was.

"Wait! Kamin where are you wandering off to?"
And I thought we would have good teamplay. Really, is she being suicidal; into the night alone.
Tsubasa turns to the rest who remain stiff.
I guess I'll go after her then. I hope loli-chan doesn't screw our lodging up. Rather, wreck it.

Which party should I follow?
Those sitting still don't look too proactive. Not much data to gather
fixedName slowly turned to leave, but suddenly he thought about the bill.
He left the money next to his plate and inconspicuously followed Tsubasa.

Really, those people.
Kamin had no wish to be around people who would randomly fight each other inside a teahouse, of all places.
"Teahouses are for drinking tea and making friends, not fighting." Kamin remarked to no one in particular.
Well, maybe the armoury will have a good gun or two.

This is troubling. Out of all places she has to head to the armoury plagued with bandits. A group of random people. Whatever.
Tsubasa kept her pace. It had been so long since she felt this flustered. Her sixth wing twitched.
Omen upon omen. Oh my.

'Everyone's leaving huh? I think I should follow them, they might know the place better than me and that armoury might have a map and maybe some loot to steal too.'
Sol stood up and quietly stalk the party that left, being cautious not to be discovered. Hoping he won't get caught into a dangerous situation though, his intuition is telling him he will.

Ayasaki Hayate - Owner, Machigai Tea House
Ahh, they forgot the bill...
Hayate wasn't very enthusiastic about Maria finding out about him forgetting to ask the customers to pay again. They had a lot of money, yes, but she said it was a life skill he had to learn, something about "A fool and his money are soon parted".
Ahh, well...
"Ah damnit, can't anyone get a good night's sleep around here anymore..." Hayate turned to the staircase, where the man staying in the corner room was grumbling.
"Ah, you're up. Hey, wait, what're you-" Hayate watched apprehensively as the man picked up his M4A1 from behind the kitchen counter.
"I've had enough. I'm gonna kill these [bleep] once and for all."
"You really shouldn't use expletives, you know, it's not very nice... oh, and see if you can get the bill for me!"
Hayate went back to making teacakes, whistling away as if nothing was wrong in the world.

Better catch up quickly
fixedName ran to Tsubasa and properly introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm fixedName. I was watching just now and decided to follow you."

Everyone left. Go after them... We feel something ominous.
"Oh! I have to hurry. You will help me, will you not?"
You are close to us--where power is greatest. We will help you.
Sierra made sure that no one would notice--most of them had left, and retrieved the water from her pouch to assist her pursuit. With its help, she rose as elegantly as if she had always been human.
"Good-bye Hayate. I will taste your tea another time." She smiled and sprinted out effortlessly.

The teahouse is mostly empty.
No one's here. I guess I should be moving if i have to learn more.

((OoC: Waking up after being pwned by sleepy bullets. ^^))
..a...
..rra...
What was that sound..? Whispering... Sierra's head spun slightly. It was an unfamiliar feeling. What had happened?
Sierra... SIERRA...
It took a moment to realize that the spirits were calling her frantically. They were back, it seemed. It took another moment for her to feel her surroundings. From the scent of the moisture in the air, she was back at the tea house. From the trajectory of the wind, she wasn't on ground level.
You're back at the tea house... We were worried about you.. Once the moon came back.. You were like this... A myriad of voices bunched together. They must be really worried to be so out of sync.
Sierra opened her eyes. It was dawn. The light in the room was dim, but it hurt her eyes. The dull throb in her head was fading, but not completely.
"What moon?"
It was the full moon.. The spirits flitted nervously. It seems the effects of the Undine stream finally affected your human form.
The girl sighed. "It's fine. The effects should wear off soon. Please.. help me regain myself until then.." As she said this, Sierra twitched nervously. The magical surge that accompanied each full moon was a delight for all magical water beings, but her human body was not reacting well to the excess--it was like being intoxicated.
She sat up slowly and walked to the door to her room, relying heavily on water to move.
The others are stirring. You might want to.. ease up.. on the water...
Sierra complied tiredly, returning some to her pouch so only a few moist droplets remained, and stumbled into the hallway. She took a moment's rest against the wall and looked around at the other closed doors. Hayate must have carried everyone back. She would have to thank him later.
You should rest and wait for the others...
"Yeah.." Sierra mumbled sleepily and slid down to the ground, next to her open door.
Don't rest on the ground!!
"Just a minute.." She was more off balance than she thought. But resting here and on the bed made no difference, only that this spot had more favorable acoustics--she could hear everything that went on. She usually slept outside anyway.

'Ugh...dammit my head hurts..what the hell just happened anyways? Why are there bandages wrapped around my head?'
Sol woke up and looked at his surroundings, he was lying on a bed in a small room which is lacking of anything out of the ordinary.
Ok...where the hell am I? The last thing I remember was that I'm gonna be killed by a grenade and the next thing I know I'm here...
Better get out and find out where I am.
Sol got out of the bed, only to stumble to the floor.
Woah..I better be careful, seems I haven't recovered from whatever that happened.
He got up and proceed to open the door.

Ayasaki Hayate
The fight had been broken up, and the people involved were all back in their rooms, rapidly healing, soon to awake from their forced sleep.
"Well, that's settled then." Hayate turned back to the person behind him.
"Thanks for your help with the healing. I can't say how much you've been helping with this free service."
The young lady giggled. "It's natural to want to help people, you don't have to be so apologetic and all. Besides, my father's supporting my efforts to learn healing, so it's all good."
She started to go upstairs. "I should go check on them, now. You coming along?"
Hayate mildly declined, and went back to wiping glasses. A healer was best left to do her job.

Ooh, headache... Is there some Panadol around here...?
Kamin slowly opened her eyes, and found herself back in one of the teahouse's upper rooms. Her suitcase stood in the corner.
I wonder what happened. And my legs... they're not hurting anymore...
Kamin looked down, and was surprised to see that the wounds had completely disappeared. She tried to move her legs - and found them good as new. As though the fight last night had never happened.
I wonder... Maybe I should go check out how the others are doing.
Kamin stood, and wandered out of the doorway into the hall.

Sol and Kamin are up.
Sierra looked up as the two of them opened their doors. Kamin looked fine, thank goodness. The dark-haired boy named Sol (according to the sea), appeared to be a little shaken, but still doing better than she was.
She straightened on the floor again. It seemed she was on the ground a lot these day--though it was for a different reason today. Water droplets on her skin quivered with effort.
"Good morning." Sierra greeted the two of them softly. Her voice didn't have the strength she intended, but it was still audible.
"I hope you are both well."

She's lying on the floor again.
Kamin was feeling pretty good, but it seemed the other two weren't doing as well.
"I'm fine. How're you? And are the others okay?" Kamin asked. "It seems someone healed me last night."

fixedName woke up, lamenting his organic component's incapability to withstand pain.
Couldn't I have been attached to someone fitter?
He saw Tsubasa lying somewhere near.
Better let my organic component rest better. It seems beat.
He waited for Tsubasa to come round.

"Umm..good morning to you too I guess? and I'm fine"
Sol tries not to look at any of them and quickly went down the stairs he saw near the corner, finding himself to be in the teahouse.
'The teahouse eh? Wonder how I ended up back here..ugh..better not think too much about it..my head still hurts..I should get something to eat too.'
He then proceeds to find Hayate for some food.

Healer
She was heading up the staircase when the mysterious black-haired lad appeared, coming down.
"Ah, hello. I healed your wounds. You took quite a beating back there, several third degree burns, a bit of internal bleeding here and there where the concussion caused your bones and muscle to collide."
She smiled at the person.
"I'm Konoe Konoka, resident healer of this area. Hayate's downstairs if you want breakfast."

"I did? I don't remember anything that happened, and man..that's pretty serious, the others are up, you may want to talk to them"
Sol continues to look for Hayate.
"And thanks for your help"

Post by RaineScarlet on Dec 20, 2008 15:11:21 GMT 8
Sierra stared after Sol, who had brushed quickly past her and Kamin without much conversation. Now there was one who didn't like to talk.
Something must have happened in his life to create that distance. Sierra and the sea concurred.
"If the others have not awoken yet, it would be best to allow them their rest." She answered Kamin absentmindedly.
Someone else had met Sol on the way up the stairs. The voice was young and feminine. She had a soothing aura around her--Sierra enjoyed it very much.. as if they both had something similar.
Time to stand up again.
Sierra felt only marginally better as the excess stream of magic oozed away. She swerved to the side a bit before the water caught her and walked a short distance away to greet the female with the pleasant aura. She didn't want to be rude to Kamin and leave her standing too far behind, so Sierra only stopped when she was within sight of the girl. Sol had already left to seek breakfast.
"Hello. I heard you were the one who healed everyone. I-I'm really grateful..."
Sierra pursed her lips. I'm also slightly jealous that I couldn't do the same for everyone... but... I will get stronger.. right..?

Konoe Konoka
"It's alright... you're a spirit, right? A water spirit, and water is associated with healing... the one who healed Kamin's wounds was you, right?"
Konoka giggled. "Sorry, Hayate told me about all of you... He's an awfully sharp person, but unfortunately he has a tendency to hurt people's feelings... Please carry on downstairs, Hayate's prepared breakfast."
Konoka proceeded on ahead.
"I'll be with you shortly..."

||OoC: I'M STILL HERE. REALLY. (pls don't forget me)
Moridin looked upon the scene.
It appears that they've woken up. Certainly took them a while.
He walked at a leisurely pace down the stairs, and started on the breakfast Hayate had prepared for them.
Hm. It appears that so far, no one is able to stand up to a real knight. This would be a good time to ask.
"Hayate, do you know where are able to train?"
