Sol, after what seemed to be an eternity underground, burst through the flooring of the teahouse.
'Ugh..finally..I reached the surface....looks like I'm in the teahouse..oh well..time to run back to the fight area, and better do it fast..before Hayate makes me pay for the damages..'
Sol immediately sprinted out of the teahouse, heading for the streets.

In Kyouko's mind, the image that Kokyou got up groggily to was reminiscent of some time ago...wait! She had a vision of this the day they had arrived!
Thank [OoC Haruhi], she had thought something much more sinister had caused the wreckage.
Kokyou looked around, and turned towards what was once known as "the door", to see Ayasaki Hayate standing there with his mouth open, eyes wide and the new china teapot he just bought dropped from his trembling hands onto the floor.
clink.
Kokyou was still pretty dizzy from the collusion, and she just sat there for a few moments more taking in everything that had happened with her legs wide open and Sierra lying unconscious next to her.
Wide open? Oh they were, revealing..
"CLOSE THEM YOU IDIOT, PERVERT, THAT'S MY BODY YOU KNOW?!" Kyouko seemed stupefied, completely so. Except for her mouth of course.
snap.
Hayate backed away from the house slowly, his mind automatically replaying what had happened so many times before.
"I'M SORRY, NAGI-OJOU SAMA!!!!" he screamed, and ran away at top speed.
Ahhhh, no time for playing.
Kokyou dragged Sierra up the stairs admist Kyouko's rage and fury, and upon finding the bathroom she unceremoniously dropped Sierra inside the bathtub and turned on the water while putting in the plug.
If what she guessed was right, the water should not only awaken the water spirit, but also aid her recovery. One thing was for sure though; she was out of this fight.
When the water level had risen to Sierra's neck, she turned it off just in case the water spirit...couldn't breathe underwater. [OoC: Lol.]
Her job done, Kokyou jumped out of the nearby window and was soon right on her way back to the battlezone.

((OoC: Hey, what the hell just happened? >_>))
Mm.. calming. Where am I... I feel like something important is happening... What should I do... I want to go home....[/b]
The Undine didn't stir in her tub of warm water.
I feel like I could float right now...[/b]
And suddenly, she was floating. Sierra blinked in shock. She was staring at herself in the bathtub. She could sense Kyouko's presence.
'I must have blacked out while trying to protect myself during that battle... and Kyouko took me to the Tea House.' Sierra said to herself. But her body wasn't moving. Sierra looked at her physical form float peacefully in the water. Then she looked at herself. There was nothing.
'I am a spirit again! But why is my body still there? Where did my power go?'
Sierra willed herself to float into her body. As soon as her (invisible) form came in contact with it, she hit a barrier, and was forced away.
'Waahhhhh....' Sierra wailed as she flew through several walls. 'I can't get back into my body!'
The Undine listened for the familiar whisperings of the spirits, but she was alone. Could no one see what was happening to her?
'Is it possible that my body is rejecting me for putting it through such strain? Granted, it's only weeks old... not even at that rebellious teenage stage yet...'
Sierra pondered her situation worriedly, while floating in a random direction. Eventually, she floated through the final wall and into the outside world.
'I should let the other me rest...' Sierra wilted in spirit form. 'The first time getting targeted... the first time to experience fear of pain... I guess I wasn't very fair to my body...'
She floated further. 'I hope no one decides that they want to take a bath... ((gulp))'
'But what can I do? No one can see me... I can't even see myself.' Sierra concentrated on the familiar streams of magic that flowed along the earth. She wanted to see what she was capable of.
Sierra glowed. She flickered at first, but then a steady blue ball of light materialized in the sky.
"Ooh, mommy, a fairy!" She heard a little boy squeal. Beside him, his mother's jaw hit the ground.
'Oh, so that's how it works..' Sierra calculated while floating through walls and trees. 'How would this be helpful?' She deactivated her glow.
'I wonder if I can float inside humans? What would happen if I glowed inside a human? Would they lose their sight?'

"Ouch...... That hurt..."
Rosietta limped into the tea house. Something happened that was even beyond her own understanding.
"I can still recall it. I remember hearing some kind of incantation then a spell being activated...
"Ôὸ óõìâüëáéïí äéáêïíῆôù ìïß, ἡ êñõóôÜëëéíç âáóßëåéá! ἘðéãåíçèÞôù, ôáἰþíéïí ἔñåâïò, áἱþíéå êñýóôáëëå! ÐÜóáéò æùáῖò ôὸí ἴóïí èÜíáôïí, ὃò ἀôáñáîßá!"
Ah yes so thats what it was... But what does it even mean... Maybe someone would know..."
"Hey is there anyone here that understands Greek?" Rosietta shyly raised her voice so that others can actually hear it.

Tsubasa had woken up to hear the same words being muttered all over again. The same greek spell.
"I want blood.."
Tsubasa unconsciously muttered to herself. Then with realization hitting her;
"That signature ice spell."
It wasn't an official lose to break her ego, but she didn't feel the least bit strengthened through that fight, whereas all the early fights she had gone through did more. But the worst for now was her insatiable thirst she had tried to curb with water and her disgust for having drank blood - again.

...What happened?
Venser got up groggily, massaging his temples. The last thing he remembered was the battle taking a turn for the south, then....nothing. It looked like he'd woken up in the teahouse, with the others who had been involved in the battle around him.
I guess we bit off more than we could chew. It would be more prudent to start small in future.
Ascertaining that all his belongings were on him, he got up and exited the teahouse, making a beeline for the town square.

Tsubasa felt hot inside. She had extended too much energy. She felt very much like laughing while trying to keep her lucid front on.
"Excuse me."
Tsubasa flew out of the teahouse.
Two ancient spells in a row. And my signature fire spell.
Tsubasa couldn't sustain her body under the heat. She didn't notice it, but she was as though sizzling.
"Kamin's blood was delicious."
Tsubasa bit her bloodstained hand.

That was bad... we all got frozen.
Not much to do now, I suppose.
He chased Finder back into its carrier.

'Ugh..what the hell just happened....and why am I back at the teahouse?
Sol jumps out from the bed, only to shiver from the cold thereafter.
'Gah..what the hell..why is it so cold....geez..everything is so blurry..'

Sierra in her spirit form sensed everyone being brought back to the Tea House, where her body was still lying in that random bathtub.
'That power surge I felt... It was all ice. That must have hit them.' The spirit flickered in anxiety. There was something familiar about that particular strain of magic.
'Eternal... glacier...?' She pondered while adjusting her floating direction.
She eventually ended up in the bathroom, after passing through several walls where the others rested in, or where they were departing.
'My body... Will you accept me this time?' Sierra whispered and floated in.
I'm sorry...[/b]

"Machigai Tea House..."
Somehow the name sounded ridiculous to Yuki, but he could not quite pin down where the joke was. He giggled nonetheless. Pushing open the door, he took a seat and looked around. It was certainly more normal in here than out in the streets, where there was still a huge block of ice slowly melting away. He would probably have to ask about it here. It just seemed to be the type of place where one asked questions and had them answered, simply because the owner was a nice person.
There were already things he could tell about the ice that he had encountered. First off, there was no doubt that it was caused by magic, but that was easy. There was no way technology could create that kind of thing. Second of all, that was in no way ordinary pure ice made from water. Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide were all frozen solid as well, and that essentially meant one thing. The initial temperature of the spell had been zero Kelvin, or Absolute Zero.
Absolute Zero. That defied the very laws of thermodynamics, and while he was no magician, Yuki knew that it was astonishingly powerful magic that had wrought that spell. Magic that approached the Sorceries in sheer power if not in versatility. The one who had casted the spell was surely far beyond human, and the thought made Yuki smile.
If he could reach thing kind of power some day... That would be great.

'Bad idea to follow them anymore..danger always comes..'
Sol exited the teahouse, avoiding Hayate, looking for some stuffs to do..alone.
'But it could be just me..'

Machigai Tea House Owner, Ayasaki Hayate[/u]
"Ara, a customer."
The owner of Machigai Tea House, and also 95th Knight of the Round Table, Ayasaki Hayate appeared from inside the kitchen, wondering if this customer would pay. The ones that were sleeping in their rooms at the moment had not paid during their first visit, and that was a fairly unpleasant time, to be sure.
"Would you like a drink?"

((OoC: Ok, it has been a lot of posts already *points to Courier missions k*))
Sierra blinked. She was back in her body... except she had even less mobility than before. Her limbs flopped uselessly in her tub until she wrapped herself in water to move.
"I need to work on my human component.." Sierra muttered. Her mind was more capable of dealing with the stress, but her body was not yet accustomed to the adrenaline rush that accompanied fear.
Her clothes were wet, but a quick flick of her finger removed all the water from them, leaving them fluffly and dry.
There are more newcomers here. The others left on their own on missions.
Oh I see. I wonder if these newcomers need help in the Round Table as well?[/b]
She reached the stairs.
Unfortunately, she wasn't paying much attention.
"Oop." She yelped as she tripped over absolutely nothing and tumbled down the stairs.
Before the landing at the bottom could result in a premature death, she summoned a bubble of thick water and mist to cushion her fall.
Not again...[/b]

Yuki's eyes followed the owner silently as he made his appearance, only answering when he asked a question. He could already tell that this man was stronger than himself, and yet was nothing before whoever it was that cast the Absolute Zero spell. There was little doubt that this man was a Knight though, despite his utter lack of killing intent.
"Uh... Yeah. Get me a tea to go, please. More importantly, I would like to ask about that huge chunk of ice outside. Oh, and are there any places to train?"
Yuki was being concise right now, because he was in a hurry to get to places. He was in a hurry to get stronger, and prove his worth to the world. He had to hurry and get strong, because courage was not the only thing that was worth something in this world, though without it nothing was worth anything.

Having witnessed the brief burst of action that occurred in the teahouse, Daisuke felt rather eager to join in the action.
But not now. Not in this state.
He then heard another voice nearby.
"...I would like to ask about that huge chunk of ice outside. Oh, and are there any places to train?"
He tracked the voice to another customer, this one dressed in black armour. Clearly, this person was ready for combat, though in a similar situation as he is.
No harm asking...
Daisuke moved over to the armoured customer.
"...May I join you?"

Constantine finally regained his senses. He tried to move, and found that he couldn't.
"Why do I always forget to put water resistance on this thing!?"
Dry.
Of its own accord, his glaive sent searing waves of electricity through the surface of his armour, boiling off all the water and jump-starting the system.
"Thanks."
He got out of the teahouse and tried to get as far away from the rest as possible. Trouble seemed to find them. Easily.
Still, he needed something to do.

Ayasaki Hayate
"Ara, that chunk of ice..." Hayate looked at the large, slowly-melting ice block that numerous ice companies were now chipping away at, putting into refrigerated trucks and driving off with.
"That's what happens when too much property damage happens during a roundtable battle. Granted it's a fighting arena, but people stay here too... the 90th team did go a bit overboard with their support units."
An AC-135 gunship wasn't overboard, it was overkill. And trying to support with an MLRS - even more so. Plus hundreds of thousands in insurance claims.
"The job of high-ranking knights is to contain the battles of the lower-ranking knights. Usually when you get high-ranking and the battles become really explosive the battles are done in mostly desolate areas, to prevent too many casualties."
He turned to the teapot, which had now brewed the cup of tea for the takeaway customer.
"There's a few training spots, but they're usually only open for training after their problems are solved. Ask around, they would probably know a few. Also, there's the Tiger Dojo just down the road from here..."
Suddenly, a person entirely covered in black zoomed into the teahouse, and plonked himself onto the wall.
Moments later, Marisa appeared in the distance, her face red with fury. "Stop! Thief, ze~! Only I can steal stuff! How dares you steals from me ze~!" She reached into her apron and started to pull something out.
Hayate's eyes widened.
"No, Marisa, wait-"
"MASTER SPARK!"
Instantly, a beam of light blasted through the centre of the teahouse, leaving a huge gaping hole where the roof used to be. The sound of ionizing air particles filled the air.
The person clothed in black ran out through the back door and disappeared.
"He got away, ze~" Marisa plonked herself down on a chair, and started to pull tea for herself from Hayate's teapot.
Hayate stared.

Kamin had long since entered the teahouse, and was sitting in the corner when the whole incident had happened.
The first thing she did was to pick the bits of roof out of her hair.
"Okay, Marisa, what did he steal?"

Yuki had been about to thank Hayate for that valuable information when a man had charged in, quickly followed by a woman who yelled accusations of thievery and blew a massive source of natural sunlight into Machigai Tea House. It was probably overkill, no matter who the thief was, but then again, perhaps the level of people living in and around the Round Table was simply high enough to warrant giant explosions everywhere, even against petty thieves.
"Erm... Okay, I think who he is and where he would probably be headed is slightly more important than what he stole. Unless it's some world ending bomb or something of the sort."
Getting up from his seat, Yuki poked a straw into his tea and headed towards the back door, sticking his head out and looking around for any signs of the thief.
"Well, he's good and gone..."
The armoured newbie shrugged and closed the door, looking at Marisa somewhat boredly.

"He stole my prototype for a world-ending bomb ze~." Marisa said nonchalantly.
"I've been working on it for a few days now ze, got a few sitting around in my shop but 'tis the latest one. When the TNT core explodes the concentrated magic ether surrounding it is forced out through twenty mini-Hakkeros, which creates enough power to offset the world's axis and killing everyone with the shockwave ze~."
She sipped her tea.
"I've still got a few more sitting around but that's the one that's the most developed ze~. Maybe I should go back and redevelop those or somethings, that one doesn't have enough power yet."

The sudden introduction of a giant laser into the teahouse caught Daisuke off-guard. He shortly came to the conclusion that it probably would not be a wise choice to loiter in a single area.
He quickly finished what was left of his tea, paid the bill, and left the teahouse.

Yuki facepalmed, and sighed dramatically. A world ending bomb, really? Of all the times to be right, this had to be it. It was ridiculous really, but what could he do about it? It was, after all, a world ending bomb, and somebody had to go get it back before it was sold to the highest bidder and used to blow up the whole world or something.
"So, erm... Could you think of anyone who would want to steal your bombs? And while we're at it, could somebody explain to me why we let a person like that walk the streets? Oh, and how the hell do you know when your bombs have enough power?"
Yuki sank into his seat, trying to make sense of it all.

Man alive, I really need a rest. That fight was way more trouble than it was worth.
Heading back into town from the train station, Venser headed for the teahouse, figuring he'd be able to unwind and recover from the ordeal he'd just been through.
Instead he found a gaping hole in the roof.
That doesn't bode well. Whatever, it isn't as if I've got anywhere else to go to.
Bracing himself for the worst, he walked into the damaged establishment and approached the shopkeeper.
"Could I hope to get a decent rest and a meal here?"

Kirisame Magic Shop Owner, Kirisame Marisa
"Why wouldn't we have people like that wandering around? This IS the Roundtable, after all, ze~." Marisa sipped her tea.
"There's been severals organisations trying to steals my weapons, because everyones knows that Kirisame Magic Shop makes the best bombs ze~." She started juggling three small green balls that were glowing rather threateningly. "These heres, for example, will together generates a tri-directional lasers that decimates everything for a fifty-click radius."
She took out a slip of paper, and passed it to Yuki. "Here, this is a list of organisations that've wanteds to buy stuffs from me ze~."
