tavern (chance to relax))

Tsk. Afraid, hell no! *I watch as my applesauce gets heated.* It's not my ideal weather.

:Of course. well. the winter season has only just started you know there is still quite a while more of this so well have to get used to it one way or another. This isnt what im used to either."

Yea, a few more months. But November's gone so....*I stay quiet for awhile* Vash, what are you used to *I say somewhat quickly*

"zeik walking in the the tavern and looking around. he notices a number of his friends and heads towards them"

yoh guys whats going on

"zeik brushing the snow off his shoulder on to the floor away from everyone and pulling his goggles to his neck"

hey rion toss me a small sake please

"zeik grabbing the sake begins to drink it every so slowly and seating next to vash"

so whats the word on the street guys

Zeik, *I nod to him* The snow got you too huh?

"zeik turning to aeon in his swivel chair"

well where i come from it doesn't snow..hell there isnt really any type of weather changes like snow,rain and ect.

"zeik taking another sip from his bottle"

so i decided to indulge in it for once

"well the plce I come from..was.."
-_his head began to pound alittle.._-
"Well in the abyss we never got winter anyways usually nice spring weather once i arrived there."

-_vash looks to zeik . He hadent talk to him since there last fight quite a while back._-
"Im good of course zeik how have you been .?"
-_He said plain but elegantly."

Gah, fuck snow. *I take my applesauce as the man brings it out.* Thanks. *I take a spoonful and look at the window* It's amazing how that one thing, snow could make some people so happy....

"zeik taking another sip from his bottle lifts his head a little"

well im doing better then normal..i should be off somewhere being emo about some fucked up thing from my past...

"zeik going for another sip from his sake realizes that it's empty"

.but for some reason,i fill compelled to be happy

"zeik gesturing for rion to toss him another one"

hmp,i guess she is rubbing off on me

"sipping from his second bottle and looking to aeon"

yeah,you'd be surprised. i think zk loves the winter time

She is rubbing off on you? *I laugh* I assume you mean Kurai. *I take another spoonful of applesauce* I'm glad, I'll never have someone like that. I couldn't stand myself changing. I wonder why ZK likes winter...

"zeik sighing a bit,sits his bottle on the table"

well, neither do i...but i cant seem to shake it.

Maybe you just aren't meant to shake. Some things just are, regardless of what we want. She's meant to be rubbing off on you.

"O you have someone close to you zeik.. thats really great for you I suppose. Ive never really thought to much of things like that."
-_vash said at the thought he was alittle lifted himself. even though he had been down for quite sometimes. the holidays ment nothing to him._-

"zeik laughing a little to himself"

she means nothing to me at all

"zeik stand up and walks out and grabs his bottle"

i will not be held back but mere human emotions

"zeik walks out the tavern and into the cold of the nightmare"

'heh. 1st step is always denial zeik."
-_vash yells to him as he walked out the door. _-

My hood is pulled as far as possible over my head and my artic camo umbrella is opened above me. I notice from under the blue fur as Zeik comes out and I look into the tavern. I snicker quietly behind my mask as I sidle in. "Must be an old folks reunion~...," I mutter under my breath before standing on my tip toes to look over the counter. Being as I was in my younger state, it was harder for me to get the bartender's attention. "Strawberry milkshake please~." He gives me a weird look but gets it anyways.

He wasn't going to be able to deny it any longer, that's probably why he left. *I look over Sadira* Why don't you just grow up, then you can reach the counter.

I look up at him as I climb onto a barstool. "Well...Winter reminds me of children playing so I thought I'd let my inner child have some fun, but then I realized...I hate the cold. Now, common sense would say change back but I get my power from heat and I'm freezing so that's a no go~," I speak quickly before turning my attention to my shake. I sigh contentedly and pull a cake box from my bag. I open it and smile happily at the sight of the raspberry caramel cheesecake. I cut a slice and set the rest of the cake aside. I eat a piece and hum quietly.

Makes enough sense. *I look at the kiddy Sadira sitting down* You look like your really a child. *I begin to think* Luckily we don't have an mother figures in the Nightmare, they'd probably drag you out of here.

I look down at my cheesecake, tracing the swirls with my fork, a wistful look in my eyes. "Aa...It wouldn't be the first time happening...I was notorious in Heliopolis."

Heliopolis, your origins I presume?

I nod as I eat another piece of my slice. "Yup. The Village Hidden in the Sky~." I point up for emphasis as though we would look up and see the floating desert island. "Nightmare's really far from it so I wouldn't expect anyone here to have heard of it."

I've heard of many things, through various amounts of research and traveling with Skeith. Can't say that I've researched the place, but I have heard the name.

I make a sound of surprise before cutting another slice of cheesecake and offering Aeon some. "I see," I smile in remembrance of my home, "It was a really beautiful place. Sand everywhere, but the village leaders were able to create an oasis full of doom palms and lotuses. We even had a river with fish in it and despite how ancient it looks, it's totally run by technology. The village is able to float cause something under it is working against the earth's magnetism or something like that. I can't really remember, but my friend Tisam explained it to me." I look down at the counter, laughing quietly. "And even though we were so close to the sky, it was hot 24/7. We never had snow..."

Eldrant floats as well. I'm not sure if the mechanism was is the same as your Village, but Eldrant draws from the Chakra of the world and runs it through a "fan" of sorts. Two in the core of Eldrant one atop the other. One pushes the Chakra up the other pushes down causes Eldrant to be held in place. That's the main Floatation Core, we also had various alternates. Like in Winter the core was changed to incorporate Ice Chakra only. Which in turn made it snow. I'd say Eldrant was the perfect mix of the Shinobi world as well as the Technolgical world

But unlike your Village. Eldrant was run by technology and it was evident, although..because of the events that took place, I wonder how it runs now? Oh I'm sorry I've rambled. *I accept the cheesecake* You friend, he was pretty crafty with Technology? It'd be great to speak with someone whose knowledge on those subject matches, or even exceeds mine.
