Cloud sat at his table, playing five card draw. He suspected the Dealer had rigged the deck, but couldn't prove it. Bet he's got a royal flush... he thought. He shifted the large sword that was strapped to his back around a bit, thinking. "I'll take three." he said, placing three of his cards on the table. The dealer gave him three in return. Cloud picked up the cards and smiled. "Call." the dealer said, not noticing Cloud smiling. "Straight," said the player to Cloud's right. The dealer smiled. "Full House," he said, moving to leave. "Not yet..." Cloud said to him, revealing his hand. "Four of a kind." He put down his cards, and left the table to go outside for fresh air. He walked out the door and stood there, as if waiting for something to happen. He walked down the street to go back to the 7th Heaven bar, when he looked up at what sounded like screaming. His eyes widened. He started to run, but wasn't fast enough. The thing crashed right down on him, knocking him out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aoshi's unbending gaze pierced the eyes of the person across from him, as though he could read his opponents mind just by looking at his eyes. He seemed to not blink at all for an entire minute, and the man across from him was beginning to sweat. "I-I-I'll see your fifty, and raise you fifty," the man across said shakily. Aoshi's stare doesn't waver as he pushes a large stack of coins forward. "I'll see that," Aoshi says calmly, his voice strong and resounding, yet controlled and almost soft, compared to his opponent's. "And raise you another fifty." The man across from him loostened the collar of his shirt, glancing nervously at the small number of people surrounding the table in a back room of the establishment. Though he was confident of his hand, he couldn't help but worry about what Aoshi had in store -- the man's gaze was cold as ice and sharp as the myriad of swords which adorned him. "See that..." the man begins nervously, trying in vein to read Aoshi's expressions. "And raise a hundred." "See, and raise two," Aoshi says, dropping a small roll of greenish papers onto the betting table. The man sitting across him gaped at the money tossed upon the table. "I...I... fold," the man says, tossing his cards onto the table to reveal a straight flush. Aoshi quickly and efficiently collects his winnings, then heads for the door. "Wait! Your cards!" the dealer called after him. "Keep 'em," Aoshi says. Without even bothering to turn, he flicks his five cards over to the table, where the people remaining pick them up to look at them. "Bloody hell! That bastard had a pair of bloody deuces!" one of them shouts. Aoshi couldn't help but grin as he left the casino, stopping suddenly as he reaches the exit. Something had crashed recently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent was back in the corner of the room. Five card draw was never his game. He was a fan of black jack. He spent a lot of time looking around realizing that he was not the only person dressed differently. He noticed to people, one of them covered with blades, somebody he had never seen. The other was a bit more familiar... Cloud Strife. After the fall of Sepiroth they went their seperate ways. When Cloud ran out at full speed, he decided to go too. He ran over and saw that Cloud was out and had something on his head. It looked like a girl. "Just what Cloud needs, more women," Vincent muttered to himself. Well hell with it he was poor and bored and an adventure sounded exactly what he needed to fix those two problems. |

Tiamat skiped out of Tifas Seventh Heaven, grinning at an old joke replaying in her mind. "Intersting..."She looks over the scene and her grin broadens. Green eyes twinkling she hops down the steps. She looks up and sees the broken shingle. "Very intersting..." Leaning on the railing, her chin in her hand, she stayed to watch the scene unfold. |
Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | The first thing Cloud saw when he came to was the concrete. He also realized that someone was on his back. He also realized there were about three people watching him. One was Vincent Valentine, a man he knew from about a few years ago. The other two he could not identify. He shifted slightly and managed to roll out from under the body. It was a girl. She began to come around. Cloud staggered around, not quite finding perfect balance.
"Who...are you?" he asked. OOC:onee-sama, go for it! ^^ gan batte! |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Kari struggled to regain clear vision again. After pushing aside her long, chocolate brown hair, she rubbed silvery eyes a few times, just for good measure. When her vision finally became unblurred, she noticed a young man in front of her. What odd hair... Kari thought to herself, looking up at the young man with spikey, golden hair. She stood up, but fell into the young man; her knees were weak. "Ah... I'm ... sorry..." Kari struggled to stand on her own and smooth her long, pink gown out. She wore a pink dress with a white cardigan, and a small black necklace around her neck. She smiled warmly and winked to the young man whom she'd bumped into. "I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself. My name is Kari.. and you are..?"[/i] |
| Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | Cloud smiled back at Kari.
"I am Cloud Strife." he said. He absent-mindedly ran his hand through his spiky, golden hair. His eyes, which glowed from his Mako infusion, looked around, noticing the others. A man and one other girl, neither of whom he recognized. "Er...you surprised me there, dropping in like that" he said. "Where'd you come from?" |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Kari's silvery eyes turned upwards, towards the stars. A small, fragile hand pointed upwards. "There." The wind blew gentley, her silky hair being tossed about her face.
"Why do you ask? Does it really matter?" |

What he saw surprised him, and even his normally stone-cold expression softened. What appeared was a beautiful young lady; a surprise, as even after the fall her appearance wasn't marred in any way. He walked forward, the myriad of bladed weapons upon his person shaking slightly as he offered his hand to the young lady.
"Answers will come with time," he said calmly. His voice had a peculiar air about it, as though speaking in a comforting manner gave him difficulty. He glanced at the girl, a genuine look of both concern and reverence visible in his eyes. "More importantly at this time is that you are unharmed; that was quite the fall you had." |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Kari heard the sounds of multiple weapons hitting one another behind her. Frightened, she quickly turned around, stepping back and running into Cloud. Seeing a warm look in his eyes, she smiled warmly to him and took his hand.
"I appreciate your concern.. Most everyone else I've met is just after me..." Her silvery eyes clouded over. "But, in any case, I suppose I need to find somewhere to stay, yes? Have you any idea of an inn that I may be able to stay at?" |
| Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | Cloud nodded.
"There are several places around here good for hiding..." he said, gesturing with one hand to the area around. "The 7th Heaven, the bar over there, has a place in it that should do fine..." If Cloud was going to say more, he didn't get the chance to say it, since several fireballs began to rain from the sky and crash to the ground around them. From them burst twenty demonic forms, like mutated Blood TastesOOC:demon hounds and oriented on Kari. "Oh shit..." he said, drawing his enormous Buster Sword. Slicing the first in two, he shouted to Aoshi and Vincent, plus whoever else was listening. "Guard her! She's their target!" |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | The young Cetra gasped, her knees growing weak. I should've known that they'd come after me, even here... She thought to herself, stepping back a few steps. A tall man blocked her way. He smirked evilly, wrapping a clawed hand around her throat. Kari gasped for air as the demon lifted her into the air, choking her.
"S...omeone.. he....lp..." Tears fell from her silvery eyes as she struggled to break free of his grasp, attempting to pry his hand away with weak fingers. |
| Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | Cloud heard the muffled plea. He sliced another three apart and turned toward Kari. Running up, he went to slice the Demon in half.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Demon Krisen tightened his grip on the hated Cetra's neck. Just a few more minutes... he thought. A few minutes was nothing to him, he had the patience of the inanimate; a thousand years did not matter, if that was how long it would take to complete his goal. His red eyes shined with malicious glee. Soon, it would all be over. He noted a minor presence behind him. A human, wielding a large sword. Krisen caught the blade in his free hand, tossed it one way and grabbed the human by his trenchcoat. He whirled the man around, releasing his grip on the trenchcoat and replacing it on the mans collar. Turning his head, he looked eye to eye with the mortal. "Don't...ever...try...that...again!" he snarled. He maintained eye contact with the man while he continued to choke the girl. OOC:i'm done. this gives dan the chance to save kristin. fun, ne? |
| Digithe Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 884 | Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2004 7:37 pm | Characters: All for this theme; By Digithe: This theme, Any theme Aoshi's facial expressions changed instantly, dropping any trace of warmth and becoming cold as a mountain of ice. The glare of his eyes alone suddenly became frightening enough to give a person a heartattack. He reached up with his right arm and grabbed the long-bladed sword which seemed to magically hover there, and held it's long handle in both his hands. A large ruby-like crystal embedded in the base of the hilt gave off a soft, eerie glow, which caused his hands to look as though they were covered in blood.
Faster than one could blink an eye, he had disappeared and reappeared a meter or so away from the demon. Time seemed to slow down as he practically hovered in mid-air. He clenched the hilt, then sliced upwards, dragging the weapon's curiously lengthy blade through the demon. A heartbeat later, he was back on the ground, holding his weapon off to the side, the blade dripping with the demon's blood. His expression didn't change as he stood up, lowering the sword so that the blade hung millimeters above the ground. The demon immediately relinquished its grip on its captors, and staggered backwards as it tried to maintain its balance with its' top half severed in two. It was not dead, nor would it be for some time due to its demonic nature, but it definately was not happy. Aoshi spat off to the side, and wiped the gore from his sword before returning it to its place upon his back. |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Kari put her delicate hands on her neck, taking large gasps of air into her lungs. For a few minutes she sat there, trying to calm herself down. After a few moments had passed she looked up to the tall man with many swords. "I... I don't know how to thank you... They would've killed me, I'm sure of it." The young Cetra struggled to stay balanced on weak knees. She bowed deeply, falling down onto the ground as she did so.
She was unconcious. |
| Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | The Demon Krisen reformed his body, as was in his demonic powers. He gave Aoshi a look of pure hatred.
"You..." he spat, glaring evily at the Blademaster. "I won't forget this, Xarian! I'll make sure you see her sufffer and die!" He gestured at the fallen Cetra. "You were lucky once, you will not be so again!" He turned to the others. "And now,' he said, "The real fun begins..." He gestured at the 20 odd beasts behind him and they dissolved. He formed them into a large ball, and shaped it into a larger Demon. Setting to the ground, he turned back to the odd assortment of opponents. "A good bye present..." he said, voice filled with malicious glee. "A demon called a Mageranter. Deadly type. Have fun!" He vanished and the beast snarled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cloud looked at the monster. It was maybe 7 feet off the ground, had four razor clawed paws, and one hell of a nasty set of teeth. He turned to the girl he had seen before. "If you can help us," he shouted, "By all means, help away!" His trenchcoat billowed as he sprinted for his fallen weapon. Retrieving it, he leveled the massive blade at the monstrosity. "Let's go..." he muttered to himself. |

Tiamat, staring wide eyed, hurries down the steps and kneels by Kari then moves her under the stairs so she doesn't get hurt. She draws a sabber and runs over to the rest of them. "I'm not sure how much I can help but I'll try..." |
