Church V. 2.0 (main Room)

The Church is a place where people who are heavily religion-orientated stay. Its also a place for those students who wish to learn the spiritual arts. Acoyltes, white mages, and some doctors come to this place to learn and such from high priests, clerics and so on. There is a very heavy spiritual and holy lifeforce that float about the church constantly, causing those who use or have dark lifeforce within their body to feel uneasy inside this area. The church is also a place where anyone can seek shelter and be protected by those who live in the church. Battle is strictly forbiden within this area. The doors to the church are of large wooden doors. The floor is made of hardwood. Stained windows fill the stone walls of church and at the top of the center of the cieling are of a round glass window which allows sunlight to flood in. Many Various Statues stand about the room for those with various beliefs, but the one in front of the room is much bigger then the rest. That one is a Winged Female Angel. She seemingly is praying straight upwards twoards the Circular window at the top of the cieling. -MintGekkou

A small girl slowly walked through the large doors. Her chocolate brown eyes surveyed the place. As she walked up the aisle, she could hear her own footsteps echoing throughout the church. It signified that she was alone. A soft sigh came from her small pink lips as she stopped halfway through the aisle, just to look around. The light was shining through the stained glass window, but in one window, the light was brighter. As the girl's gaze drifted to the window, she came upon a hole in a window. She wondered how it got there but shrugged it off.

"I must be in a church..." The brunette told herself. "Stupid Makie... I'm supposed to meet Misty at the playground! Ah, well... This place is... Relaxing..."

Today Makie was wearing a dark pink dress, along with several strange but cool things. The top of the dress was like a tank top with thick straps. Then attached to the straps were lighter, transparent flowy like material. They had a flower imprint on them and they were short sleeves, ending above the chest level. Just above the chest level of the dress, there was a rose pink flowy material, out lining the ironing board like chest that Makie had. In the stomach part of the top of the dress, there were two rose pink strings criss-crossed once. On the back of her dress she had two long flowy pastel pink ribbons that touched the dragged on the ground as she walked.

The skirt of the dress was a little less complicated then the top. The skirt ended a few inches above her knees. Attached to the bottom was a pastel pink crickly like material and came down like a 'V' in the back.

The brunette was also wearing some leg and arm covers along with a cute accesory. For Makie's shoes, she was wearing black dress shoes, but she was also covering up her legs with a leg warmer type thing. They came up to her knees, in which they hugged just below her knee caps tightly. A light pink small bow was tied to make them tighter or looser, it was also cute on the leg warmers too! The bottom of her leg warmers were loose and droppy and covered most of her shoes. To cover up er arms, Make was wearing almost the exact same things as she had on her legs. The top of her arm covers came up to mid-chest level. In her shoulder-blade length hair, she wore a dark pink headband with a bright pink lotus attached to it.

"Ah..." Makie sighed as she walked forward, even more, letting the sunshine flow onto her body as she walked. "It's so warm in here..." She felt so calm, but yet disturbed. The silent stone structure, the empty wooden benches, the book filled with prayers and songs hidden in the back of the benches. The cold air that whispered through the hole in the stained glass window in which Makie was under. The colors from the window alond with the sunshine colored her in different sahdes and colors.

A sudden sound caught her attention, causing her to look back in surprise. A soft smile creeped onto her face as she ran childishly to the doors. Makie stopped before she left, and turned around on her heels. Then as if a bouquet in her hands, she walked back up the aisle, smiling like a 6 year old. She imagined bright pinks, reds and whites around, with steamers and flower petals. A small fantasy took place in her mind, as she pretended as if some one was walking with her to the people waiting for her at the altar.

When she reached her destination, she looked to the person beside her. An image of a tall, soft looking man was there. A gentle smile, with a gentle expression was plastered on his face, as he soon disappeared and then reappeared on a bench. Makie looked over at the priest who finished saying something, and then a boy began to approach her, his face hidden by a baseball cap. As he pulled her into an embrace, he lifted off his hat, but disappeared the moment it was off.

A frown replaced Makie's smile as her fantasy slipped through her hands so simply. Her chocolate eyes looked around, as the decorations melted into oblivion. With a blink of an eye, everything was gone. Shaking her head, the small girl looked away, back at the stained glass window, feeling once again relaxed but so out of place at the same time. Turning her gaze from the broken window she made her way back to the bench. Makie sighed to herself and began to take in her surroundings.

Acid came upon the tiny cathedral, it had been awhile since he had set foot in one of those... He was a buddhist, and by was he meant in the past before he was exhiled from the Monastery for what he was. The monks weren't a big fan of the children of the cosmos he figured. But a church, was it a catholic church? Was it a Prodistant church? Or just a a church of all that is good and holy in this world? Acid spat on the ground, he would be hard-pressed to find anything that really was good in this world.... but he supposed something had to exists or something like this wouldn't exist to give false hope.

He stepped up the stone steps higher and higher, he passed through the arch-way and into the old hall. It smelt musty... just like he remembered, the faint hint of frankensense and holy water. As he moved closer and closer to the alter he looked up at the painted cieling which served as the backdrop for the dance of colours that came from the stained glass windows.

He turned his head from left to right, and then from right to left until it rested upon the old organ..... This was something he enjoyed. He sat down infront fo the expansive machine and cracked his fingers, he pushed down on a single solitary key and the great rush of pressure and air that created the low pitched resonating musical note....

He played for sometime JS. Bachs "Toccata"

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOIN!!"

Kyoshi had just bumped into someone, which made his temper rise even more. He had been looking almost all over the school for a girl named Nohea, but he just couldn't find her. Then Kyoshi looked down at the person he had bumped into. It was a lavender haired girl. He felt a little bad now, since it was just a girl.
Kyoshi scratched the back of his head.

"Er...ahem....sorry for the outburst...see I'm having a bad day and I'm trying to find someone, but I guess she's just not around."

((sorry it took a while, my brother is.....well he is.... stare ))

"Urghh....Anyone he-whoa!!!"

Ai stopped in the middle of her sentence when she ran into someone, or that someone ran into her. Once she ran into that person she fell backwards because she is weak, well, sort of, in a wierd way. She heard the guy yell at her saying 'watch where you're goin!' But it was too late for her to reply, she kind of tumbled lightly backwards.

"Orooroo!!" she said with a ditzey swirly-eyed face. She soon regained concious and got up, but still laid on her butt. Her long lavender hair that was nicely groomed today was now a mess!

"Oh my gawd!! No, no, no need to apologize!! Its my fault!! All my fault!! I shouldn't have gone here in the first place!!" she said back to the guy as she stood up and walked over towards him. With a concerned look on her pale face.

Ai looked at him, still concerned for this guy, wiether if she hurt him by knocking into him or something. Clearly, she was confused as ever. But as she swiped off the last of the dust she heard him ask what this place was. Could he not know? It is a church, a place of worship. A place where people can come in and rest, almost like a sanctuary.

"Oh! Its a church. Its where people worship there lord" she said simply as she grabbed his arm lightly and pulled him over to a statue. It was a statue of artemis, though she is a goddess, she is basically Ai's lord. The moon and hunter goddess, or the moon maiden as they called Artemis.

"Shes my lord! Since i practice to arts of the moon and holy healings" she didn't want to go any further or she'll accidently slip that she is an angel, like at the library. That was a disaster. But today, she'l try her hardest. Thats when she noticed that her hand was still on his arm, with a light blush she pulled her hand away from his arm and turned her head away from him.

"By the way, whats your name?" she said softly, trying to calm herself.

"A lord to worship?" the soft echo carries through the church halls and to the ears of the two who recently entered. "Is that...what any of us truly..." he paused in mid sentance, his eyes opening to the two. His face seemed to beam a certain feeling, radiate a sensation with the opening of his eyes. It was an almost unreal and yet near unnoticable affect cast upon them. "...needs?" he finished his sentance with a very soft, almost unheard whisper. The sound of his shoes tapping across the floor had been seemed louder, and yet... His voice carried further, and was easily heard. "My name is...Tallan, before you ask." he his heel stopped just in front of Ai's, his gaze stayed on her long enough for the deep, trance inducing haze of his blue eyes to gaze within her serene, lavender eyes. "Beautiful..." his voice carried a sweet caress that would grace Ai's ears, yet not be enough for the man nearby to hear. In the instant he spoke, however, Tallan's eyes set on Kyoshi and arched a brow. "She is in fact correct, however..." he tilted his head slightly, smiling directly at the man. "...this is a place of worship. Though...is this where you should be...?" again, his eyes shifted, returning to Ai's with a more sincere, more direct and almost harsh gaze.

"...or you, for that matter." he turned back to Ai and asked, once again. "Is it...? You come for a reason but...is it the right one dear..." he...stopped, he paused again and smiled broadly. It had occured to him that he did not know either of their names. He leaned in closer to Ai...very close in fact, the more serene, softer gaze and smile, a hypnotic set of eyes closing in on the young girl. "...what is your name?" he said it with a most sincere and pleased tone, as if it were a joy to simply be there to ask her. Of course, the question was meant for the both of them, yet the focus of his attention was clear.

Kyoshi raised an eyebrow again as a shady looking charactor walked over to them. He kind of glared at the man as he got very close the the lavender haired girl.

How rude can you get? Interupting a conversation... he thought, even though he himself could be very rude, also, they had not really been having a real conversation.

Kyoshi gave a look of discust after the man questioned whether he, Kyoshi, should be here.

"I'll go wherever the hell I want!!!" Kyoshi said quite loudly, he didn't care if it was a church, he wouldn't let this guy, this Tallan, make fun of him.
But it seemed that Tallan just ignored Kyoshi, which made Kyoshi even more angry. Kyoshi folded his arms and then continued to glare at Tallan.
