---

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Even the barmaid needs to sleep sometimes. The bar usually closes up late after all. So the bar is empty, its still not past noon, but for many people, that's pretty late time to sleep.

There was some disturbances though. From the backroom where her bed is setup, she can hear some rummaging in the bar. Maybe its a burglar?

She slides up to her feet, barefooted with not much more than her tanktop and panties on, as she moves toward the bar as quietly as possible, trying to creep up on any thieves lurking there...

Aerith has posed:
Only to find that no, it's not a thief.

On the contrary, someone was filling the shelves, once empty, with indoor planters filled with irises, deep purple in color. She hummed a tune to herself as she brushed her hand over each one, a sort of emerald sheen glowing from the soil wherever her hand passed. "About time you woke up, sleepyhead," she called out without looking in Tifa's direction. "I was wondering if you'd miss my surprise or not."

Pixi has posed:
Helping out somewhat was, Pixi, putting some plants in high places where Aerith couldn't reach. Pixi knew a few things about planting since she lived in a jungle most of her life, but what seemed to perk the plants up a bit more was her use of of the stick she had on her forearm. Many of the plants seemed to instantly respond to the mere presence of it nearby.

Pixi looked over to Tifa and smiled just a little bit to her. "All Aerith's idea, I'll admit. I just volunteered to help her out with it, Tifa." She says as she places a decorative plant behind the bar, her heels thumping against the floor.

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
Rinoa had wandered the Goug slums after returning here so soon after the gala event in Manhattan. She had hoped to find some friends during that event but was sadly disappointed. Eventually, feeling quite out of place and lost in the world, she had returned back to Tifa's Bar, finding something comforting in these familiar surroundings at least.

She knocks lightly on the door, before allowing herself in, if it's indeed open. Angelo seems to have no issues however, rushing in and glancing around for her favorite bar hostess..

Faruja Senra has posed:
Faruja, normally, would not be so wasteful with his time and energy as to make a wyvern flight to Goug for his current task. It would have been far simpler to write a letter and have a moogle take care of things. But, after some unfortunate news, he decided he needed space and lots of fresh air. The need to give one assistant to the Shard Seekers her pay was the perfect excuse to get out, with just himself and Arista for awhile. Thus, when he starts to approach the 7th Heaven, he's in remarkably better spirits than he'd previously been. Noting the time, he frowns. Would the Lady of the establishment be in? Barmaids do keep odd hours, after all.

The question gets its answer in th form of another long haired woman knocking on the door, then letting herself in. Faruja halts, caught between a sense of duty and politeness; tail wrapped tightly about his leg as he ponders the situation. Eventually, he strides forward after about five minutes, and he too makes a light rapping upon the door with a gauntleted knuckle.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart blinks a bit in surprise, but smiles "Oh, its you people." She leans down to greet Angelo too. She's not very well dressed right now though, but its all among girls...

At least until Faruja knocks at the door "... oh uhm... Rinoa, can you get that? I'll get dressed first." She scratches her head a bit as she walks backward into the backroom.

Aerith has posed:
Aerith pauses for a moment, the flowers within the planters she'd graced with her touch looking lively as the day they'd sprouted. "Oh, isn't that just the cutest thing ever!?" She jogged over to the dog and rubbed behind her ears. "And who, my dear, are you?"

Pixi has posed:
Pixi nods to Tifa. "Yeah. It's just us." She says before the raps on the door. She nods to Tifa again as she withdraws from the room before she sits down at the bar. She then walks her way over to the door and opens the door. "Hey Faruja. Come on in." She says greeting him at the door.

Kaydin has posed:
"First walking bunny women, now walking mouse men." A voice calls behind the man. Who the voice belonged to was a armored man, The helmet making his race hard to recognize. "Seems Tifas is becoming popular."

Faruja Senra has posed:
Outside, as Tifa withdraws to dress, Faruja stands in that slightly awkward way of someone waiting at a door and not quite certain if it will be answered or not. To his credit, he resists the urge to look into the windows. Who knows whether Tifa is decent or not?

As Pixi opens the door, Faruja opens his muzzle, already half bowed. "Good morn, M'Lady, and may the Lord bless all of your da..." Pause. A slow blink.

Kaydin's voice goes unnoticed for a good thirty seconds. "...Lady Pixi?" Cough. Well! Folding his ears back, he straightens up, trying to regain the shattered pieces of composure and dignity.

"Erm...apologies, apologies, 'tis quite a surprise to see you. But a pleasant one! Yes, yes, thank you. So long as the Lady of the establishment has no objections. Pray I have not woken her from well-deserved slumber."

The rat's in the process of holding the door, nevermind Pixi was the one who opened it, for the bunny Lady when his brain picks up Kaydin. What a strange morning.

"...That would be 'nezumi, Ser, to tell it properly. Good morn, and may the Lord bless you." A bow to the man, and he steps inside.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart comes back out shortly after, honestly she doesn't wear that much more, but its her usual clothes at least. She waves to Faruja with a smile "Come on in, we're not really open, but apparently my friends here wanted to surprise me." she giggles at that, looking at all of the flowers around her bar now "This is so coloerful~'

Aerith has posed:
Again, Aerith responds without a glance in Tifa's direction. "Thanks. I did say I'd repay the favor..." Part of her wanted to /sell/ these to her, but it was a gift. Something nice to pretty the place up. She stood and glanced toward the door. "Oh, more people? This place sure is popular, isn't it?"

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
Rinoa blinks at Tifa, seeing as she's only half dressed. "Ooh, Tifa..So sorry! I didnt mean to barge in on you like that.." she giggles a bit, turning towards the door as she sees a somewhat male figure starting to enter. Oh wait, two male figures!

She tries to cover Tifa's retreating form from the two men at the door as much as she can. "Oh, hey you two, sorry, barmaid will be right back. It's still pretty early afterall.." Still, she has to stare at Faruja a while longer, rubbing her eyes.

"Wow, a talking rat?" She chuckles, "I guess after everything else I've seen in this world..." With a slow shake of her head, she steps back to let them in, a wry smile playing on her face. "Ahh, but nice to see you have manners! Nice to meet you, Ser Nezumi!" she says, returning the bow, unsure what a 'Nezumi' is, or if that's his name even. Then she spies Kaydin and her smile fades just a tad. She's still not sure what to think of him, but she does give him a polite nod and bow. "ahh, hello again.."

Finally, glancing back at Pixi, she smiles and nods to her as well. "Morning, Pixi! And who is your friend?" She smiles at Aerith and nods as Angelo walks up to the girl, sniffing her curiously. "Ahh, that is Angelo, and my name is Rinoa. She really seems to like you, sure you can pet her."

Pixi has posed:
Pixi grins down to the mouse that is with her. "His name is Faruja Senra. He's one of the knights of a place called Burmecia, I believe. I'm pretty sure Nezumi is his Wyvern that he flies around on. Correct me if I'm wrong, Faruja." She says softly to Rinoa. "Faruja, this is Rinoa, and Aerith is the woman with the flow...."

Pixi doesn't get to finish her sentence, as darkness literally materilizes almost right next to Aerith. BLood red eyes stares straight at Aerith as it steps closer and, just as quick as it appeared, it grabs Aerith and immediately shatters a window leaping out of the bar.

With Pixi almost rgith behind it yelling 'HEARTLESS!'

Aerith has posed:
The back of her neck tingles. Her hair stands on end. Her feet refuse to move as her heart tightens in her chest. Fear gripped Aerith, an invisible hand squeezing her, rooting her to the spot. "No...."

In the next instant, several things happen at once. The world slows to a crawl as Pixi's eyes widen, a pair of arms wrap around the flower girl's torso, and she lets out a bone-chilling, blood-curdling scream of terror as she gets taken without a moment's notice.

Time speeds up again, the scream bouncing off the walls as she gets snatched through a window, glass sprinkling the floor and the ground outside.

This... was her nightmare come to life.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart acks as Aerith gets captured like that "Can't we get a moment alone, damn heartless!" She's none too happy that her friend got captured too. She jumps over the counter and right at the now broken window after it "Leave her alone!" She'd be more amicable to those that entered... but understandably, there'll be time for that later.

Faruja Senra has posed:
"Dear, wonderful Lady, the pleasure is mine entirely! Your own are quite impeccable. Temple Knight Faruja Senra of the Most Holy Church of Saint Ajora, at your service." The ratling introduces, before finally crossing the threshold of the bar. His gaze rests, in turn, on the floor, or towards the general direction of Rinoa, Aerith, and Pixi. When Tifa calls out, his ears perk.

The barmaid too gets a bow. "Good morn to you, Lady Lockhart! Lord bless, brave Dame. Mmm, quite the gathering indeed.

Pixi gets a look, a clawed hand rising. "Erm...not quite. That would be Lady Arist..."

SUDDENLY HEARTLESS! And they stole the flower girl!!!

"DEMON!!! Loose thy hands from round the Lady!" Faruja yells, years of military training having him spring into action right beside his fellow Dragoon. Exiting through the window himself in a mighty Jump, spear yoinked from his back and already glowing, and with fellow do-gooders alongside, the chase is on!

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
It happens so fast! One moment Rinoa is smiling and nodding at Faruja and Aerith as Angelo rubs against her leg. The next minute she knows, those darned heartless burst through the window and capture the flower girl, leaping out of the bar.

"Aerith..No!" She reaches out an arm, and at a moment's notice, Angelo jumps out the window in pursuit of the nice girl and the heartless who snatched her, Rinoa not far behind. "Come back here! Let her go!"

Kaydin has posed:
Kaydin watches the goings on quietly until the heartless comes and takes off out the door since he was halfway in and would draw his own sword, the black blade beginning to glow with a dark power. Despite being heavily armored it seemed the knight could move quite quickly.

Pixi has posed:
For some reason, the Heartseeker makes an immediate beeline for outside of Goug and trying to go through the front gates, carrying Aerith upon it's shoulder in a most undignified fashion. However, it's quite fast on it's feet, outrunning most of the rest of the rest of the people in Seventh Heaven. The exception being Pixi. Thanks to her long strides and her natural speed causes her to speed past the heartless rather quickly and trip it up with a quick punch to it's stomach......or where it's stomach would be. It doubles over and drops Aerith on the spot, long enough for everyone else to catch up and attack.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart is pretty fast too at least, but Pixi is like on wings. She's used to the woods after all, while Tifa's more about tredging concrete. She rushes through the street toward the gate "Aerith!" she doesn't know if the girl is okay, but she didn't look okay when she got caught. Those eyes showed a deep scar being opened up, at least to her.

She grrs and as Pixi stops it, and she slides to a stop between in and Aerith, shield the girl as she moves in for a flurry of attacks, opening up the hostilities toward it. She's not about to let leave unscathed either.

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
Rinoa continues to chase after the heartless, Angelo far ahead of her as he barks and snarls at the wicked heartless. "What are they going to do with her..?" She scratches her head, still knowing very little about these heartless creatures, aside for their affinity for darkness.

It seems Pixi manages to out run them all, even Angelo, but fortunately she manages to free Aerith from it's grip. Rinoa's pretty fast herself so it doesn't take her long to reach the two girls, kneeling by Aerith's side. "Aerith, are you alright?" She scans quickly over her body, searching for signs of injury.

Angelo meanwhile, growls and snarls at the heartless, rushing at them as he attempts to bite and claw at them.

Kaydin has posed:
Kaydin runs after and when Pixi manages to stop it. He leaps into the air, leaping up high before coming down where Tifa was, and like the woman, using himself to shield the flower girl as he attacks with a slash from that black sword.

Faruja Senra has posed:
Dark armor? Glowing black blade? Well, if it isn't his far less holy counterpart! Kaydin gets a brief narrowing of Faruja's red eye, before he returns to the task at claw. He'll not protest but so much; the Church has it's own Dark Knights as well, albeit many viewed suspiciously.

The ratling, again, has pause to regret the armor. Thankfully, though, Pixi divests girl from vile abomination, and the ratling is quick to usher back Aerith behind himself and Tifa. With so many engaged in outright melee, the Templar takes a moment to begin casting protective spells, a white aura surrounding his hands as he does so. Soon enough, green shields briefly flash over the bodies of the front-line combatants, the Protect spell to anyone familiar with white magic.

Then, the Burmecian whistles loudly, piercing the morning air. With great flaps of her wings, the twelve foot long white wyvern flaps her way down from the sky, landing and issuing a warning roar to the Heartless. She just had her morning hunt interrupted. Guess who's on the menu~

Aerith has posed:
Aerith lands in a disgraceful heap, her teeth clenched, the tips of her eyebrows angled upward in pain. Less out of being dropped and more out of the constant pressure inside. She managed to open her eyes just enough to watch Pixi face down the giant shadow, and forced herself to stand.

She was fortunate enough to have her staff with her when she'd been taken... if she'd lost that, who knows what would have happened? So it was that she used it to prop herself up, pointed it toward the creature, and made her best attempt at forcing the pain and anguish from her mind.

The materia, all of them, came to life, lighting up like so many dials on a switchboard. Then, she aimed. "I'm fine..." Her voice lacked any anger or frustration. "...Now if you would please move."

Then she let fly.

Pixi has posed:
The Heartless was caught completely by surprise by Pixi's attack. However, it's still quick on it's feet even as it's surrounded. Dodging just about every attack, the surprise in it's eyes are quite evident when suddenly, it explodes!!!! It bounces twice on the ground before getting up and going after Aerith and Pixi, who managed to hit it.....

Pixi has posed:
Grunting as she's hit, Pixi takes a second to catch her breath from the assault, before leaping into the air. While up there, she takes the stick from her gauntlet, gives it a twist, and extends it into a full spear, and even extending a few chains from it to try and hit the heartless.

Aerith has posed:
Aerith's eyes widen as Tifa takes the hit for her, and she quickly makes an attempt to intervene... but then changes her mind. No, there's a better idea... she taps the end of her staff onto the ground, forcing a different materia to light up, and points it toward Tifa's direction, and then to the armored man still barring a clear path between her and the Heartless.

Faruja Senra has posed:
Wince. Fire. It just /has/ to be fire doesn't it? Faruja tears a hand he doesn't even remember moving to his bandage-covered eye, trying to not think of those horrible, horrible dolls burning everything he ever cared about...

This manifests in a desire to make the Heartless before him cease existing. Thrusting his spear in the air, he's content to stand with Kaydin in the 'guarding the Lady' position. "It is known as a Heartless. A vile, unholy demon that eats people and worlds alike in their passing! Show it no mercy! It's very existance is an afront to the Lord!" His proclaimation serves just as well as an incantation it seems, holy energy manifesting first a blade of holy lightning from the ground beneath the Heartless, followed by a crescent of purple and falling shards of ice.

As for the great wyvern? She simply yawns, and curls up for the moment. Faruja glares. "/ARISTA/! You have /work/ to do!!!" The scaley one pretends to not hear.

Kaydin has posed:
Kaydin readies his sword and swings it once, sending a wave of black energy at the heartless before sending another wave of energy. Then he tosses his sword and catches it's chain, beginning to swing it so hard and fast now it was a black blur before hurling the sword hard up at the heartless now.

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
Rinoa blinks, standing back as Aerith climbs to her feet and strikes at the heartless with her powerful magic. "Wow..." Who is that girl, anyways? But she doesn't have much time to talk further as it rushes at Tifa and Pixi, attempting to strike them down.

"Angelo, to me!" She whistles to the dog, and he jumps on her blaster edge, combining with her fire spell as she launches the attack at the heartless. When Angelo lands to safety, she follows with several more bursts of fire.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart has mvoed in front of Aerith to intercept the attack. The barmaid is pretty tough, and she saw that Aerith seems to be able to wield magic after her first attack, usually mages are more squishy, right? She brings herself in front of the attack, arms crossed in front of herself, shielding herself from the flames. She seems to come out of it strong too, practically unhurt.

She nods to Aerith's spell "Thanks~" and then moves in for the next attack. Since it's pretty evasive, she might need to concentrate on more precise attacks some more.

Pixi has posed:
The Heartseeker is finally hit by a physical attack by Tifa, kicked twice and punched before hit by another fire attack and a shot from Angelo. It roars at the top of it's lungs, or so it seems and goes after both Tifa and Rinoa this time.....trying to tear them apart.

Pixi has posed:
Seeing the HEartless up in the air with her, Pixi flashes up next to the monster and begins a rather nasty flurry of attacks, trying to really hurt the thing now. The irony is that now she's using the spear, more and more in her attacks......

Kaydin has posed:
Kaydin catches his sword in mid air by the chain as it falls and swings it once more. He then hurls it at the heatless before leaping up after it, and grabs his sword to bring it down ontop of the heartless with two hands, trying to cleave into it.

Aerith has posed:
Aerith's eyes widened as the Heartless reared back and unleashed an assault that defied logic. Rinoa took the worst of it, and thus was the only thing the flowergirl saw. She tapped the staff on the ground twice until a materia glowed a bright green, then pointed it toward the brunette.

Faruja Senra has posed:
Faruja, upon seeing the beast turn to Rinoa, makes a quick leap to try to defend her. Unfortunately, he's but a moment too late, and poor Rinoa is pummeled! Warding off the beast with his spear, the ratling as well starts to employ magic, though not borne from materia. So too does the lazy scaled one perk up her snout, almost disdainfully blowing healing breath Rinoa's way.

"Behind me, M'Lady. Dark Ser, Lady Lockhart, see to our new friend's defense if you please!"

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
"Got it!" Rinoa's eyes light up hopefully as the combination of Angelo's launched attack plus her fire magic hit the heartless. Still, it seems to have angered it more than weakenned it..When it roars in anger, Rinoa winces as she anticipates the massive comets that come crashing down on her.

Usually quick on her feet, she swiftly rolls to the side, but gets hit nonetheless, causing her clothing to singe as she screams in agony, singing her skin.

Angelo whines, running to her master's side, showering her in protective energy.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart manages to jump out of the way, and drag its attention away from Aerith for a moment as well, so only her and Rinoa got attacked by it this time. Rinoa seems to have taken it badly, but there's many healers this time. So Tifa can stay on the offensive.

She keeps attacking in with repeated attacks, since going for precision seems to work better, that monster is pretty quick after all.

Pixi has posed:
The heartless grunts in pain as it's hit by so many attacks. However, the Heartseeker goes after Pixi again, even though it's being hit by everyone around it.

Aerith has posed:
Good. She was okay... and now it was time to finish this. She could see only one way this would end. The question was, would they be able to manage it?

The energy in the air was overwhelming. She could use that. Aerith glanced toward the others and lifted her staff. "We're going to finish this!" No time to explain. "On my signal, hit it at the exact spot I cast at, with everything you've got!"

Without further warning, she pointed her right hand toward the soul eater and fired off three spheres of ice... which promptly exploded all over the front of the thing's belly. "Go, now!!" Ice made things brittle. If it could be hit, and frozen, it could be broken!

Pixi has posed:
Pixi's really in a bad way, but as the heartseeker rushes her, she blurrs out of it's way. The Heartseeker looks confused for a second as Pixi goes after it with her spear, following it with a kick to it's chin and.....with her tattoo glowing brightly, a single solitary punch that will explode with holy energy if it connects....

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart watches it going for Pixi... Perfect, an opening. She clenches her fist, concentrating her energies into her hand. Soon its glowing with a pure yellow light, like the sun. Its explosive energy, ready to be released. And Aerith freezes it over with her spell, even better, she's going to shatter it to pieces!

She takes a single step back, and then jumps forward, bringing the glowing fist straight down into it as she vaults over it, releasing the energy that creates a down of energy around it, as if she had released a bomb.

Faruja Senra has posed:
Faruja can't help but like Aerith's plan. 'Throw everything you have at it until it dies'. He'll have to make a mental note to offer a position as a Temple Wizardess some time. "Quite!" Thrusting his spear in the air, light forms above the beast, descending to add just that much more Holy into an already quite Holy attack thanks to the likes of Tifa and Pixi. The ice helps too. A shame he's so low on mana at this point!

Arista is on her haunches now, and walking forward. She's happy to assist in the destruction of the beast, waiting for the smoke of everyone's attacks to clear. Teeth flash, and should any bit of the Heartless be left, it'll greedily be consumed by the wyvern.

Faruja Senra has posed:
Faruja ignores the sounds of feasting scaled one, and starts in on healing his companions, starting with Rinoa, Tifa, and Pixi, looking over each woman in turn as he judiciously applies white magic with the aide of a few ethers to keep him going.

Rinoa Heartilly has posed:
Rinoa cringes, still recoiling from the attack..Until Aerith's and Faruja's healing magics wash over her, and the lets the soothing magic ease the burning pain..Enough that she's back on her feet in a heartbeat, glaring up at the heartless.

"Thanks! Let's finish it!" glaring up at the heartless, she waves a hand in front of her, summoning a powerful wind and blades of light to slash at the heartless, followed by a shot from her blaster edge, this time glowing with pure white energy.

Kaydin has posed:
Kaydin readies his sword to attack but everyone else goes and hits the beast. So he remains near Aerith, keeping close to her, and keeping an eye out for other things which may target the Flower girl, his blue green eyes can seen through the eye slots by the healer since he was close.

Pixi has posed:
The Heartseeker that seemed so bold now is now wispy dark matter that is blasted, frozzen and impacted into the ground by the combined attacks. It would normally be knocked out by now, but RInoa and Faruja seem to think that Knocking it out isn't enough. It's energy doesn't disperse fast enough before Faruja and Rinoa hit it even harder, and make it's energy disperse a lot more forcefully.....in the form of an explosion.

Pixi has posed:
Pixi lands, finally from her jump and sighs softly. "Are you all right, Aerith?" She says quietly. Not only is her tattoo glowing a lot more brightly than before, but she's still holding her spear in her right hand.......

Aerith has posed:
Aerith nodded. "You know... I knew that did something, as well as that stick. Didn't know it was a spear, though." She sighed and glanced toward the smoldering remains of the Heartless. "I don't understand... why did it want me, and not anyone else? It could have just attacked us all, but... it /wanted/ me. I could feel it."

Kaydin has posed:
"The Heartless are attracted to those with powerful and pure hearts. It is also attracted to those of incredible darkness." Kaydin says as he sheathes his weapon, looking to Aerith. "Or it could be someone wants you specifically and can be controlling this particular heartless." He says as he looks to where it was.

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart walks back toward Aerith, shaking her head. She blinks at Kaydin though, that always seems to know so much "Well guess Aerith's heart is a good one. Mine must be filthy, they don't come after me that forcibly." She kids. She really doesn't care that she's not their target either, she's almost grateful even. "Hm, maybe someone wants her too, they didn't attack her, they just carried her off somewhere. I wonder where."

Aerith has posed:
Aerith shook her head. "No." Her response cut into what anyone else had to say. Rude yes, but she'd already ruled the supposition out. "If it were working for someone, they'd be nearby to pick me up or spirit me away. They'd know their ploy failed by now, too, and would have sent something else right away. This thing... /wanted/ me, for itself, not for anyone else."

Pixi has posed:
Pixi tilts her head at Aerith as she mentions the spear, and her tattoo. She does listen to Aerith and smile a bit. "If you have a pure heart, Aerith, then these heartless....things, will probably come after you again." However, she then lowers herself to a knee and bows her head. "And they will not get you as long as I draw breath." She doesn't say much more, but keeps her head lowered....

Kaydin has posed:
"Then your heart attracted it. Either way, I dont think it would be wise to let you be alone after this." Kaydin says as Pixi then speaks and he nods to her. "She is right. And it would be for the best that she remains at your side. I would but most outside Baron are wary of the Dark Knights. Even in Baron we are regarded with some wary.'

Tifa Lockhart has posed:
Tifa Lockhart walks over to Aerith "Well, shall we head back home? Well the bar if you want, unless you rather go elsewhere." She wouldn't blame her either, after all of this. Tifa is used to fighting, but she doesn't know about Aerith.

Pixi has posed:
Pixi rises off of her knees in front of Aerith and follows her into the bar.....after collapsing her spear back to it's stick form. She imagines she'l have to explain about the spear to Aerith later, as well to Tifa and Rinoa as well. But for now, they would rest, peacefully......

For now.
