Finding that everyone had departed from the room she shrugged and reached blindly for her drink bring it to her lips. Sipping the contents of her wine flute, she wrinkled her nosed finding that all alchoholic conent of her drink had been cleansed from the glass with her spell. Shrugging she rose from her seat to deposit the remainder in the sink.
"Hmmph...should have added that kind of variable into the forumla. Hope there was nothing of importance in the room."
Glancing back at the rest of the alchohal that inhabited the area, thankfully anything sealed had most likely survived her spell.
"Hmmmph...Bacteria have their place as well I suppose."
Blinking about the primarily empty room she stretched not sure what to make of it.

<<...still here... > <;; >>
::Swallowing heavily down his throat, Deity tilts his head back and away as Ichi wraps her arms around him in a friendly embrace, his left arm shakily finding itself around her shoulderblades. He fears he may never get over this. Soon, the young kitsune releases him and says her goodbyes before turning and heading off to bed. Saluting with his left index and middle fingers, the Mystic Orinian releases a heavy breath as he nods goodnight to the pretty young lady.
It is then that another certain lady comes to, a little further to Deity's right. Chuckling softly to himself, he remarks on how long he and Ichigo have been conversing as he returns his left hand to the counter and begins to address Epithany.::
Hey...welcome back to the world of the livi--
::The boy is cut off as Epithany does her thing, firing off magical runes through the air as easily as the average person orders a pizza. As she wraps it up, Deity can actually feel the effects it has on the room immediately, his ears perking up and his eyes widening. His face drawing an amazed blank, he begins sniffing at the air like a dog, pleased to pick up none of that foul stench from before. Grinning gently, Deity turns toward the mage, giving her a subtle nod of approval before taking another glance around the room, breathing in deeply through his nose.::
...wow...nice work, Pith. Though, actually...Deity should be on his way....take care of yourself, al'right?
::Returning his glance to Epithany as he speaks, Deity salutes the girl in a similar fashion as he did Ichigo, though now with his right hand. Pushing away from the bartop with his tail, Deity uncrosses his ankles and begins a hasty stride toward the entrance, a slight jump in his step. Not slowing down for very long, he quickly twists the left knob as he reaches it and pulls the door open, slipping through and heading off into the spotlight-illuminated clearing. A heartbeat later, he takes a left and leans forward, kicking fiercely at the ground and bursting into a dash down the dark cobblestone path. He is out of sight in the blink of an eye.::
<<...okee, all done for t'night...bye bye, monkeys... ninja ::lepoof::>>

((Later Deity))
Nodding to the tall man she smiled poking the black crystal with her finger, it disappearing from sight, by use of her displacement technique. Crossing her arms behind he head she sighed making note of the total emptiness of the room after Deity's departure.
I suppose I should follow suit.
Sensing Unk's presence within their room she decided that he alone was a good enough reason to leave the area for the night. Shrugging she made a beeline toward the elevator, removing her key from her person and heading up for the night.

A hollow reverberation of footsteps echo throughout the corridor between the arena and the main room. They are slow and almost without feeling as they carry their burden towards the bar. Upon the counter his scarf, hat, and headband rest, awaiting his return. His fingers graze along the tops of the counters, reminescent of the many times he sat at the bar, carrying on the many conversations with various warriors. Some days had lighter talk than others yes, but memories at this point weren't bitter nor were they sweet. They were traces of his past.
Without his clothing to hide his face, his smile was exposed for anyone about to see. It was a rare expression he wore outside of his room, but a smile nonetheless. He had changed much, his body itself was a physical indicator of such. He wasn't alone though. His oldest of friends were all evolving, a new breed of warrior emerging from a bonded past. Would this new lineage remain together though? How long can any group of people, especially those practically immortal in nature, remain banded arm in arm before their paths unravelled, sending them to pursue different venues of life?
The halls were already growing all the more silent. The times were already changing and things were not seeming too promising for the Orion. Everyone had their own calling. Yes they would all return in due time, but how were they all holding up. Not even this man could be sure now. His powers were great, but he was not omnipotent. As he thought about it, he didn't want to be either. All would be well eventually.
For him...his chapter was coming to an end. There was only so much he had left to do. It began today and this was merely procrastination at best. He really didn't like stalling. It was as big a waste of time. He'd rather be training. Slowly grabbed his idle garments, fixing his headband to cover his right eye, wrapping his scarf about his neck, snuggly tucking the lower half of his face into it, and adorning his head carefully with his sakkat. He was back to his usual self once again.
From his left pocket he removed an envelope, almost too thick to have been sealed. He left it on the countertop, resting his index and middle fingers on it, tapping it as if casting a spell. He was still unsure about this. It was perhaps the most abrupt way to go about such things, but as things stood, it was for the best. Besides he couldn't put if off any longer. As things stood now, this was the only way to go about it. With that he breathed a heavy sigh and slowly faded away like the mirage he often seemed to be.KenoTao I'm not much of a writer, and I won't pretend to be here either, however I felt a letter was the best approach. I have no idea who will come across this first, but I do implore you to leave it where it rests now after you have read its contents, for this letter is addressed to those who knew me. With that said, I should get to business.
The first thing I must announce is my withdrawal from from the club tournament. Though I have tried my patience, I cannot waste time any longer as a participant. I put the blame on no one in particular. Time is merely no longer on my side. Therefore my match no longer needs await judgment. Good luck to you Protean in the next round. I would think you likely need it.
The rest is probably the more unsettling news, though I doubt anyone will be too downtrodden. I am taking my leave of Orion and this world for the most part. I have no more reason to be here. The friends I have made can all stand on their own two feet, not that I had much to do with it to begin with. Where I am going and what I'll be doing, I wouldn't bother worrying about it if I were you. I'll be through from time to time and maybe I'll return for good in the future. For now though, no one here is of use to me. I suppose I should say 'most of you' but the message gets through either way. I would say something heartfelt and uplifting, but I'd much rather not. I have little reason to and you'd be wasting your time reading it.
Jade and Ichi are well aware of my absence as I have informed them both a while ago. They won't be abandoned by me so for the curious of mind, I'd consult them about my well being. Two the two of them I have nothing else to say for my good byes to them would have been wasted words.
Monkey Boy is likely a bit distressed that I would walk away from this tournament before knowing which of us advances to the next round, but he shall have his turn at me should he still want it so be sure his formula is warm and send him off to bed when he's caught wind of this.
My expectations of Deity still stand. He should not for one moment mistake my absence for ignorance. This club may be his home, but they are still my ears and my eyes. Should he falter even the least bit, I'll be on him. I doubt it will ever come to that, but he should be very well aware of this nonetheless.
I suppose I will miss my conversations with the mage. I perhaps could have taken more from them than I have, but one cannot dwell upon the past. Her wisdom hasn't gone unnoticed, nor has it been ignored, merely not utilized by me for what it could have been worth. We will perhaps talk again another time.
The purple haired one should be aware that I have no hostilities toward him, but my expectations of him also stand as they were. Should he not handle his problems by any means necessary...I have no reason to repeat myself.
The Wesleys are likely always to fight, so congratulations to the final victor and my condolences to the lover of the defeated. Whether or not I'll be around to see that remains to be seen. Speaking of which, a special good bye to their father. I didn't see him often, talk to him much, or know him very well, but he is a warrior worth admirning, much like the mysterious new visitor we have.
To Miyuki and Shadow, who to my knowledge I promised to spar, I'm afraid I will have to rain check with each of you. Many apologies.
Reya should utilize the parts of the club not behind the bar counter some time. It has to be pretty dull remaining in such a small place so long so often.
The Jedi and the ruby fox - I know she wants no advice from me but oh well - should make use of the established relationship they have. Both have strong beliefs, but it would perhaps be best for both of them to just have a good idea here and there.
And with that I say farewell to you all for though I will likely see you all again at some time or another, the reunion is likely to be bitter sweet at best. My best wishes,
KenoTao
(P.S. Satomi, don't you dare think of christening your child without me.)

::The wooden doors of the Orion opened slowly. A few seconds after their slow opening the soft thud of heavy boots filled the air. The doors closed and the purple hair saiya-jin lowered his red scarf from his face. He was wearing his long black coat.
Under his coat was a grey sweatshirt, and his black boots. It seems he just came back from a snowy mountainous area. He began to walk torwards the bar his scarf hanging limply around his neck. He got too the bar and sat down. He looked too his right and saw he envelope.
Reaching over one of his gloved hands he picked it up and opened it slowly. He saw what was a rather long letter. He pulled it out of the envelope, unfolded it and began to read.
As his ice blue eyes scrolled over the text they grew wide, he couldn't believe what he was reading. He placed the letter down infront of him and looked up. He had a slight smile on his face, but not a happy one::
"So he is gone. . . Things are certainly going to change around here."

The bell that accompanied the swinging doors of the Orion's elevator announced her entrance into the main corridor. Like usual the Orion remained staticly dead. Yawning the young mage made her way through the large empty space, the sound of her footfalls the only company she recognized. Yawning she made a beeline for the bar area spying her husband huddled over the counterl. Opening her mouth in greeting she caught view what appeared to be a letter. Deftly she snatched the letter from his grasp, scanning its contents in silence. Realizing what it was she read it once more with a solemn alertness. Slumping slightly she leaned over her husband, resting her chin on his shoulder.
I know not your reasons Keno, but one cannot avoid the tides of time...
Saying nothing she aligned her thoughts in silence. It would be a diffrent time.
"Change is good...but still difficult to face."

(Well Deity why don't you go and get something too eat)
::Unks felt a sudden new weight on his abck. He turned his head to see his wife. He was smiling and then felt her grab the letter from his hand too read it. He waited for her to finish it and then she slumped her chin onto his shoulder. He turned his body slightly and lifted her up and rested her on his lap.
He looked into her eyes a smile on his face still. He eyed the letter from Keno once more and listened to her speak too herself outloud. He laughed lightly too himself before he held her close too his body::
"Yeah change is good, but a lot of people are going to be upset about this love."

The doors of Orion swung open yet again to allow Red entrance to the club. She was dressed lightly, familiarly as well should anyone have seen her for the past couple of days. Her clothes and hair carried with them a disticntly aged tropical scent, which would suggest she hadn't changed her outfit for at least a day or two.
There was a small party already gathered in the club, being only the married couple and herself at the moment. There was a stillness in the air that was similar to a mourning. This made no sense to her however, and she could all but care less.
This did not stop her from catching note of an envelope before them, and without asking she took it in her hand and removed the lengthy letter. It dawned upon her immediately why the air was so thick. Her eyes narrowed coldly out of anger as she gazed at the two of them as though they were villains.
"What the hell does this b*****d mean by this?!"

Blinking up at his face she smiled weakly.
"I mean't the change is more good for Keno. He has his reasons for what he has chosen. I'm still not quite sure what is going on. But such is his way and anyone standing in his path is hindering him."
Frowing she sighed inwardly.
Before she could make note of the letter leaving her grasp she caught view of Red grasping it in similar manner than to how she had done moments before. Returning her attention to Unks she buried her face in his chest.
"I know that nothing stagnates, but its still startling to make note of the changes that occur daily. All of this is ruefully staggering."
Leaning back she sighed and kissed him gently on the lips.
"How are you faring love?"
