Daelik came out of the kitchen with a grin on his face. He had been held up playing slap and tickle with his cook. He tickled, she slapped. He placed a plate of food in front of X, turned on his heels and went back in the way he came without waiting for thanks. Giggling and smacking sounds soon started to come from behind the closed doors.
Seating himself again, Kyo motioned Rei Ichi a bit closer to him underneath the table. There was something in X's look that made him feel a little uneasy. Many-as-One spoke in a conversational volume. "Every last one of us vote for starting with the ultra-violence."
Kyo grumbled inside his head. "Absolutely not. Kyoshiro uses the executive veto power, blocking the vote.... for now, at least."

[For Hitsu, you can just assume that she gave X her name along with everyone else. There's really nothing else for me to post for her.]
No sooner had Yuki gotten back to his feet, Neko had grabbed hold of him. Yuki made to pull away but failed, his little stunt had left him dizzy. He only growled as Neko scolded him, looking away like a disappointed child. "I could take him out in the open." He defended, so nicely proving his powerful state by stumbling in his grasp. "Let go of me."

Neko scoffed at Yuki’s defense, but then a bit of a smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth. Maybe he could prove a point and have a little fun. “You think you can fight huh?” Tugging Yuki back forcefully, Neko let go of the arm that he had a hold of allowing Yuki to fall back further without aid to stop. Letting Yuki stumble back a bit Neko reached out to grab hold of his injured forearm, which would put all the more pressure on it. “How about it?”
----------
Awe struck, Mitsu stared in amazement of the candy that X had just produced from behind her ear and placed in her hand. She didn’t know that she had candy! Popping the hard treat into her mouth, Mitsu went about combing through her hair and checking behind her ears but found nothing else. Where had it come from? She seemed a little disappointed when she found nothing else but found contentment in the piece of candy she did have. It was good.

"awwww! the magik dudz made candii for the pupiii! Thats so nice!" poke slurred again, and then as x asked her what her name was, put on a look of concentration.
Suddenly, out of the blue she jumped on the table and, standing up proclaimed to the whole restruant "MY NAME U SAY? IT IS POKE! THE GREATEST PERSON OF ALL! FOR I KNOW ALL MY A B C'S AND CAN FISH OUT A COOKIE FROM A CICARDA! I AM THAT GOOD!" She then lost concinious and fell of the table.

Riyo's eyes shot to Poke as she started to speak funny again. One of her eyebrows raised. She couldn't understand much... But that was definitely jibberish to her.
Riyo...
A haunting voice called to her as Poke began yelling. All other voices and sounds seemed to fade out. It was so familiar... And it struck fear into her heart.. Not fear of it, exactly... But fear of what may happen if she ignored it.
Riyo.. Come here..
The somewhat crazed feminine voice called again. Riyo immediately stood up and stared at where the voice was eminating from.. The door. "Momma." She said incoherantly and moved toward the door quickly, like a child being called toward a scoulding. As soon as she opened that door, her eyes widened in shock.
Everyone... Dead. Bodies everywhere. Torn, mangled, eyes wide open... Men, women, children. No one was spared. Her arms fell limply to her sides as she walked out into the massicre.. But one body caught her eye inparticular. She looked down at the blonde-haired body, the face was in the dirt. It seemed to be the worst of all. As she was about to kneel down to take a closer look, everything flashed. She looked around. Everyone was... Alive? People continued to explore the small town despite the sun setting, and a few were looking at her strangely as they walked by. She looked down and realized she was kneeling over a dead bird. Her ears went back. "Nyuu.." She mumbled sadly, her eyes filling up with red tears.

Hitsu, at this point, was ready to leave. Every minute just seemed to get more and more awkward. She groaned lightly as Poke rambled on loudly, pressing fingers to her ears to try and muffle the shouting. She just kept her head lowered, wishing not to be witness to any more of the drunken chaos.
-----
"Ye-" Yuki started, about half a second before Neko had grabbed hold of his stitched arm. "Ow! OW!" He yelped, trying to pull away. He drew back his free hand in a fist, and swung. Clearly, he wasn't as ready as he might have hoped, because he didn't even come close to striking Neko's head.

Neko stepped aside and released Yuki while he swung to either allow him to regain his balance or loose it due to the power behind the punch. Standing casually he waited for his friend to get back to his feet. “If you can’t even land a punch on me you have to business fighting someone else.” Hopefully that would get through that thick skull of his. If he wanted Neko would fight him to prove that point all the more, but that only wasted time in finding Hitsu, Neko prayed that Yuki remembered that.
------------
Distraction was an understatement as Mitsu watched Poke go on about herself. Why was she so loud? Covering her ears from the noise, Mitsu just barely noticed Riyo making her exit out the door. Curious, she got up to follow her to see where she was going completely missing Poke falling from the table.
Once outside, Mitsu put on a look of confusion as Riyo bent over a dead bird in the street. “Riyo?” She had thought she had heard Riyo mutter something on her way out but she wasn’t sure. It had sounded like ‘momma’ but then again there had been so much noise. Coming up behind the taller girl, Mitsu tugged at the sleeve to her shirt. “Riyo?”

Daelik stormed out of the kitchen when he heard the yelling. He came out just in time to see two of the people at Kyo's table make a rush for the door. He had brought his warhammer with him and thumped its heavy head against the floor, resting his his palms on the upturned handle. His face normally had a touch of rosy hue at the nose and cheeks, with a mischievious glint in his eyes. Now, however, his entire face was red and rage flared in his blue orbs. Veins pulsed in his temples, and looked as if they were about to burst. His gaze danced from one to the other, slowly looking at each person in turn. Glaring much longer at everyone at the table that originated the abrupt outburst. Just in case they missed his not so subtle meaning, he jerked his thumb in the direction of the door.
To say that Kyo wilted at Poke's outburst was putting it lightly. His shoulders slumped and he tried to cover his face in embarassment, so he didn't notice the departure of Riyo or Mitsu. When Daelik burst through the door, he knew what to expect. He had seen this display the first time he had ever entered The Saunter On Inn. Albeit in a much less than sober state.
Once Daelik had finished with his display, Kyo stood and removed his suit jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves. A few of his scars became visible. "I had a lot of fun," Kyo smiled, "but now it's time that I settled the tab." He turned and looked back at everyone sitting at the table, and for a moment something seemed to ring all too familiar in his head. It all came together. They may not have known it yet, but they were adventurers. He turned away. "I... don't know what fate has brought you together, but cherish this time." He looked over his shoulder at them. "But when your journey nears its climax, for the love of God," Kyo said with more than a little sorrow in his voice, "try your hardest not to be the one that survives." He remembered what Bailey had said to him and frowned. "Take it from me, there isn't any room in this world for left-over heroes." Kyo started walking towards the kitchen to face his chore with dignity. Without sparing them another glance, he casually waved his hand, "Take it easy."

Riyo's eyes never actually left the bird. As Mitsu gave a tug to her sleeve, she stood up straight, but didn't turn to face Mitsu. "The bird will never fly again..." She started. Looking at the bird, one could assume that a bigger creature had gotten it.. Perhaps a cat or even a lucky dog. "A once beautiful creature that took the skies and soared... An envy to all land dwellers.. Is now grounded."
There was a pause. "Seeing this, takes me back to my childhood, you know... But we'll save that for another day." Riyo's body gave a twitch after speaking. Her head started to dart around in all directions. "Nyuu?" She asked and turned around, immediately spotting Mitsu. "Nyuuu!" She said with a smile. Boy, did her head hurt... But it was good to see someone. She thought everyone had left or something.

While everyone was vacating the premesis, a hand reached for one of the chairs, and poke was able to pull herself up so she was in a kneeling position, letting her head rest on the chair. She would have gotten up herself, but her head was hurting to much and she was afraid her stomach wouldn't last the journey outside the door. "uuurrrrgghghg"" she gurgled.

Rather amused by Dealiks "Hint" X leaned back in his chair. "Hold up Kyo" X smiled and redirected his attention to the pure embodiment of (short man complex) "You know I find it kind of funny, she gets loud...and you get angry." X waved his hands in the air in a manic fashion. "But we sit out here and listen to you dry hump the help in the same kitchen our food came out of and still patron this hole with no complaints. Although Im sure part of that has to do with the fact that they cant even form literate sentences anymore. But you didnt seem to have any problem feeding them drinks till they reached this state." X stood sweeping his hand toward the girls. "So now your going to kick these girls who cant even stand, little own defend themselves out into a busy street in the middle of the night? I just cant accept that" X walked around the table and stood face to face with Dealik." So I tell you what. Ill take the girls out of here, but I cant do it alone. Ill need help. So Ill give you this" X held 4 gold coins between Daeliks face and his own," And the remainder of Kyos tab will be paid via removal service. If thats ok with the both of you" X threw glances back and forth between Daelik and Kyo with a smile.

Thanks to Neko's sudden lack of grip, as soon as Yuki had missed he only managed to lean too far. He quickly twisted around as not to land on his side, quite the mirror of a cat trying to land on its feet, and flung his arms forward to avoid meeting the ground with his face. Face plant avoided, he clenched his jaw and groaned loudly. In stopping himself, for a split second he'd forgotten about his injuries. The sharp jolt reminded him that they were there, for the second time in less than five minutes.
He was silent as he stood, but when he looked at Neko it was obvious that he was angry. "You've made your point, thanks." He waved a hand for him to continue on, "Lead the way, then."
-----
Poke hit the floor, and Hitsu looked up again. Then, around for where Riyo and Mitsu had gone. The table was quickly losing people, and she wasn't going to be the last one sitting there. A loud thud from elsewhere in the building brought a short gasp from her, and she quickly veered her attention to the owner. He looked unhappy, to say the least. Partly, Hitsu was glad that Daelik was asking them to leave. Well, not asking, demanding. Without a moment's hesitation she was out of her chair and helping Poke to her feet. "Let's go, Poke. I don't think we're welcome here anymore."
Once she had the girl propped up, Hitsu looked back to Kyo. "For what it's worth, thank you for your kindness, and I'm sorry..." She started, and cut herself off as he instead spoke to them. Well, it was doubtful that Poke would remember what he had said, if she even heard him. Hitsu, however, listened closely. She frowned a bit, clearly not understanding why he would say such things, but she certainly wouldn't question him. Now was not the time, and apparently he felt the same way since he moved away from them after speaking. Brushing off the strange feeling he had just given her, she moved toward the door as quickly as she could manage with Poke in tow.

Mitsu listened intently to what Riyo had to say. She didn’t know that she could speak. But when Riyo had the sudden shift in her state of mind and turned to Mitsu with her infamous ‘Nyu,’ Mitsu’s face became riddled with confusion. What had she meant when she was speaking about the bird not being able to fly anymore? And why did she seem so different now than she did just a minute ago? “R..Riyo?” Brow furrowed in worry, Mitsu wasn’t sure what to say. Her crimson eyes seemed to search Riyo’s face for some sort of answer to her silent question, but she got nothing. “A..are you okay?”
----------
“No problem,” Neko smirked. “Let’s head up this way.” Neko pointed behind him with his thumb before he turned and started to walk in said direction. There were a lot of shops and a few restaurants but he had yet to see an Inn. Just as he was about to give up and ask someone else if they had seen them he spotted two familiar faces, one of which he thought they had lost in the forest. “Mitsu? Riyo?” Just up ahead he saw the two in the street standing in front of an Inn. “Well, looks like we may have found them.”

poke was thankful for the help that hitsu was giving her in order to get to her feet and start walking. Although she was wondering why her body was aching so much, and who were those two men that she saw before were.
"Thanks" poke managed to get out, although if she was thanking daelik or hitsu, no one could be certain. With one hand she held her head as she wondered how long it would take to get over this headache, and some of her co ordination as she stumbled.
Once she and hitsu had walked outside, she quickly leaned against the wall in order for some better support, plus to take the weight of hitsu. "So much for watchhing out for you.." she said, closing her eyes and resting her head against the brick wall. She would have to remember to tell that guy off for next time if he even dared serve her anoter acheolic drink without her say.

Riyo blinked as she looked at Mitsu's face. Something was troubling her. Her head tilted at the question. She'd heard that somewhere. 'Hey kid, are you okay?' A voice seemed to echo in her head. It made her head hurt worse. She flinched at a sudden flash of pain, then looked at Mitsu again. "Riyo.. Okay?" She asked back. Strangely, she knew the answer to that question. Slowly but surely, she was picking up on this language thing... Like she'd known it in a past life or something. "Riyo not okay. Riyo never okay." She said with a smile. She didn't realize what it meant, but it seemed like such a right answer to that question.
That's when she heard her name called from a different direction. Her head immediately turned. It was those two guys! "NYUUUU!" she yelled and ran over to both of them. She had to give Neko back his shirt. Now where'd she put that... She searched her pockets for a second and pulled it out. "Nyu." She said simply and handed it to him.
