Cassie adjusted her backpack as she walked down the street. School had been okay today, the college courses kind of dragged and were mostly stuff she already knew, but the rest of them were nice, and really interesting too! She was going to pass Eirin the main square, soon. And... sometimes that white-haired lady, Eirin, was there. She was nice, and she made all kinds of interesting medicines! Some of them appeared to be scientific impossibilities, but Eirin claimed that they worked and they were usually somewhat interesting. Up ahead, well, there she was.

"Hello?" she called.

Arturia was about to knock again when she finally noticed the guitar carrying man looking over her bike. She was proud of the machine, having...where did she get it again?

Dangit...now that she thought about it, she couldn't remember.

She turned back to look at him right on,

“Can I help you?”

Eddie paused, considering for a second that someone was talking, and after that second, his brain finally clicked back into the correct gear, and he shot upright, swirling around with a harmless goofy grin already in place, shrugging a bit awkwardly.

"Oh hi, no, nothing, just looking, nice bike!" A short pause. "Hi!"

Smooth, Eddie, real smooth.

Jack came out of the kitchen, serving two more cups of tea as her heard the knocking on the door. How long had someone been out there? He walked briskly to the door, pulling it open and peering out. A blonde woman stood there, facing another man, who appeared to be inspecting her motorcycle. He cleared his throat to get the woman's attention.

"Please come in, Miss." He said, gesturing inside. His eyes flickered back to the man before looking at the blonde again. "Is he with you?"

Drenched and Molested Maiden Seeks Better Working Conditions

"...I...Um." A vermillion hue flashed upon the pigtailed girl's face as not only was she being handled rather... openly, but was also remarked upon as some common courtesan. "...N-not for sale." She all but stuttered out as she briskly retreated, her iconic hair braid somehow disregarding the laws of physics to squirm and fluff out like a cat's tail.

As she cleared the distance, the unlucky maiden unknowingly knocked a potted plant off its shelf with her elbow as she assumed a defensive position. Crash. "Uh oh." She winced as she heard ceramic break...


One Confused Bucko

"The moon. Sounds... farfetched." Vaan remarked, though his tone seemed to indicate he wasn't as into it as before. Eyes alighting on Raem's face once more, he remained quiet for a few moments before blinking once. "Well, I won't deny you're not right in the head sometimes, but I do think you've mixed up your gender, Mister Bloke."

Hand descending to ruffle the smaller girl's head, Vaan's easy grin soon returned. "Right, since you're back on land and all, it's time for tradition. Get some drinks and merriment in our system and all. Since well... you're already forgetting things right now, so no harm done if we get inebriated on fizzy sin, there shall be no harm done." Logic at its finest indeed.

"Are you sure? One date, all the food you can eat, and even protection from Yuuka's wrath!" Mima enthused, sliding between the girl and the flower youkai. Whilst she didn't work—or, normally, have any need for money due to not actually being a living creature by mundane standards—and didn't often take any steps towards getting money, the green-haired ghost magician had more than enough on her person to finance one date, even if the girl ate like an industrial furnace. Of course, that was contingent on finding a buffet, but she knew where to find one of them...

It even included booze in the price~


"Yes?" Eirin asked, raising her head from the bow, "I don't suppose that you've contracted a virulent disease since we last talked? It would help business a little."

Yuuka looked at the downed flower for several moments, her expression unreadable as Mima continued to try and woo her assistant. Poor Ranko, it was an accident, but she harmed that innocent little flower. Accident or not, you simply didn't do that.

"You sound like you're quite familiar with my wrath." Yuuka commented as she walked over to the fallen plant, knelt down and scooped it up. Silently, she entered her shop to re-plant it. A moment later, the flower youkai emerged wielding her umbrella and an apologetic smile.

"Hey Ranny, before you elope with the Ghost of Evils Past, you're gonna need a little..." Yuuka paused as a look of confusion crossed her face and she glanced at Mima again. What had she just called her?

...Meh, wasn't important. "Anyway, step over here, please~" Yuuka requested to her assistant cheerfully.

"Virulent diseases?" Cassie stopped, and blinked, "No! That would be really bad... But... your business isn't good?"

She frowned. She liked Eirin, and Eirin's medicine seemed scientifically impossible but some of it was certainly real and it worked. She wanted the white-haired pharmacist to do well, and she certainly didn't seem to be doing particularly well at all, especially after what Eirin had said.

Riding down the road on a bicycle with a package under his arm, Link was making another delivery. The green tunic'd young man looked very happy to do something that most people would consider a minor favor, but he took solace in helping others even from something so small. He wished that he had something to use other than the bike, the mechanical steed seemed unfit for him for reasons he could not remember, but it was required to get around town at a reasonable pace. The job was also one of the few things that worked with his skill set, as the peaceful Lasting Paradise had no need to fighters.

Reaching his destination, a garage opened by someone by the name of Ratchet, Link leaned his bike on the building wall and knocked on the door to announce his arrival.

Zack Fair

"Huff..." the black male known as Zack Fair, a soldier with a Buster-Sword that seems to compensate for something. He walked along the side-walk, the blade protruding from his back. Nothing really to smile about today, nothing at all. It was a plain day, in plain sight, nothing going on and nothing to gripe about. Was life really this boring?

"Oh, it is, it is." Raem agreed with the comment about the moon. What, was she crazy? A sword.. falling from the moon? Yeah, things are crazy here, but not that crazy. She sighed, scratching her forehead as her eyes traveled along the bottom of the airship. Soon after, they fall on the boundary of the ocean and the beautiful morning sky. "Pretty sky today, isn't it?" a faint smile formed on her lips.

"Wait, I didn't mix up anything ye crazy, blonde bishie." the young girl smiled, turning away from Vaan to stretch her arms into the air. A huff of air exits her mouth as both hands fall onto her waist. "Drinks? Sounds good, mate, but yer treating me. I'm the guest after all." the grin expanded ear to ear. She was going to take advantage of this, oh yes she was.

Arturia turned. Ah good, it was open today. She glanced back at Eddie and then nodded towards the Tea House.

“If you like, we can discuss it inside.” She turned back to Jack and straightened her jacket. Her impressions of this man instantly alerted her to...something. Maybe it was the way he held himself. Something about this man screamed 'warrior'.

“I was wondering if you were open for business.”

"We are, as you can see." Jack said. Perhaps it was an old instinct, but Jack felt something from this woman. She seemed vaguely regal, like a queen, yet she seemed a warrior as well. He looked over at Eddie a moment, and frowned. He didn't inspire that same vague feeling.

"So, will that be two people?"

Eddie simply stared at the woman, vaguely open-mouthed for a second, before visibly shaking himself out of it and grinning again. "Um, sure, uh...I'll...buy?" He considered a moment, then looked to the fellow who apparently ran the place, chuckling a bit. "Yeah, uh, we're, uh...yeah." He paused, suddenly feeling very self-conscious about having chosen to wear his axe today, reaching back to take it and show it. "I can leave this by the door or something if you want...it's uh...sorta my security blanket..."

Just as Ratchet paused in his work, there was a knocking at his garage door. At first, the Lombax wondered who would be calling, until he remembered the parts needed for that new weapon he was working on as well. Maybe they'd arrived?

Finding a remote, Ratchet opened his garage door, the shutters rising as Ratchet a young looking man in a green tunic.

"Hey there!" Ratchet greeted him cheerfully. "You're the guy brining me the parts, right? How many bolts was it, again?"

It would be quite exciting to finally create a RYNO of his very own. While he remembered that this kind of weapon was... well, questionably legal somewhere, he was fairly certain that wasn't the case here, and it wasn't like he was going to use it! Who would go after a Lombax wielding a weapon capable of demolishing a planet, anyway?

Reckless Horse Tamed by Proffered Hand's Food

"...All the food I can eat..." Ranma muttered to herself, eyes shining with predatory anticipation. "It's... just a date right? Nothing else?" She asked, wanting absolute clarification before she gave a clear answer. For some odd reason, the word date sent a shiver down her spine... Maybe some repressed bad memories?

And then her owner clearly gave her an order. "..." Eyes averted, the pigtailed girl shyly shuffled her way towards the aforementioned spot, awaiting what was to come. These types of people were one of the few things that truly scared the girl, and she was sure she should put up with the lighter punishment and escape intact. "I'm ready."


Searching For Some Booty

"Right then, let's be off and get some claps of thunder in our system." Vaan said, laughing off the bishie remark. "And of course I'm paying, cheapskate." The man bantered back as he peered at the city in the distance, eyes narrowed to glance for new buildings. "So, wanna search for a new place? After all, we pretty much ransacked every pub under the sun, and maybe some new ones popped up while you were gone. Hopefully some with good spirits instead of watered down swill."

"Good girl." Yuuka replied, giving her assistant a pat on the head for her obedience. A far more sane and moral person would probably die from the sheer horror of punishing such a poor young lass, but... she hurt a flower.

Raising her umbrella, Yuuka's glance shifted to her shop for a few moments, as if looking for something. Eventually, she sighed and returned her attention to Ranko. "Very well, then."

Yuuka lowered her arm, giving the red-head a surprisingly light tap over the head for her grievance. Probably flinch-worthy, but nothing that would be noticed after about five minutes.

"Geppetto decided he doesn't hold a grudge." Yuuka sighed, resting her umbrella against the wall. "So you get off light! Now then..."

Yuuka glanced at Mima, a wide, cheerful smile on her face once again. "Sorry you had to see that, miss! Now then, when you take little Ranny out, feel free to look, but not touch! At least leave her precious things alone, okay?"

"Just a date, no further... well, unless you want me to~" Mima cheerfully explained, waiting patiently for Yuuka's punishment. That... that was it? No blood, no tears, no desecration of all that was good and pure about the girl's body? Standards were really slipping around here...

"Come along, come along, you'll be paid at the end," the spirit announced, taking Ranma by the hand and heading towards the door, "Your name's Ran-something, right?"


Eirin looked down at her full bag and empty wallet for a second, before turning her attention back to the girl, "Nobody believes me when I say what my medicines can do. I think it's partly that they suspect I'm selling one medicine but mostly... who believes that a white-haired woman, still looking completely youthful, has the secret to solving every ill?"

The Lunarian's eyes looked so much older but... not the rest of you.


In the same buffet Mima planned to head to, there was a girl. Black-haired, strangely dressed... and her spears were making sitting next to her somewhat difficult. Her plate was piled high with various meats and odd-looking... things, whilst a dozen empty cups, and one half-full one, were around it. She'd eaten so much they'd made her pay twice... but that was fine, she'd gotten a good paycheck for once!

"Hmm... um, well, most of your medicines are scientific impossibilities, but..." Cassie trailed off. Deep down, she knew that Eirin wouldn't lie about something like this, but she had never really seen the medicines in action... that said, she wanted to help white-haired pharmacist somehow. She knew that she wouldn't lie, and that the medicine would work... somehow. Weird stuff happened, right? Even Cassie's appearance had been strange, just appearing unconscious outside the city at only seven years old. So... other odd things could happen, right? Even medicines that were scientific impossibilities could work, right?

Link backed up as the shutters raised up, revealing inside the owner of the garage. Some people might have scoffed at the fuzzy mechanic's appearance, but the delivery boy didn't find anything strange about him. After all, he was still a person, and it would not be the strangest Link has met...has he? It was a safe bet, either way. When Ratchet asked if he had brought the parts, the knight nodded with an affirmative "mhmm" as he held out the package. They were a little heavy, so whatever it was must have been something heavy duty (pun not intended). The cost was took a second to figure out, forcing Link to double check the sheet. The multiversal nature of this place mean a lot of strange currency tended to get circulated.

"Uh... a hundred bolts" He answered, no idea if that was expensive or cheap, but he was sure Ratchet would know. "What is it you're making, anyway?"

Neku ran down the streets with a smile on his face. It seemed to be a nice day. His smile disappeared though, when he saw a man with a giant sword on his back. Frankly, this seemed to light a signal in Neku's brain.

Holy crap! Look at that sword! What is he doing with that?

It takes him about a minute to realize he's staring.

Oh no. What if he's part of a gang or something? Walk away, just walk away. And don't make eye contact...

Neku turned the opposite direction from the man, his eyes fixed in front of him, and walked stiffly away.

"Aye aye, Captain Pretty Boy." Raem continued to smile, and then what took her by surprise was Vaan was.. actually going to pay. Well, she did have money on her, but she didn't want to pay. Raem had other things she needed to buy, after all.

She sighed, placing a hand on the back of her head, "A new place? I'm already overwhelmed with some nostalgia so... doesn't matter to me, whatever ye wanna do. And why don't we have a good ol' fashioned competition? Let's see who can drown themselves in the most ale~!" and Raem's stomach grew three sizes that day.

Licensed to Drink

"Right, right. I think I saw a new one somewhere while I was... investigating someone." Vaan offhandedly ruminated as he led the way towards the entertainment district. "And yeah, I'm gonna be winning this round, ya boozehound. Dunno where a girl like you puts it all... And why they haven't kicked you out for looking underage..."

It was then the man stopped to regard one particular establishment. A new one. He had a map of the entire city that changed whenever the environment did (one of the things that were always with him), and it was definitely unmarked. "Right, so... I guess we found our latest bung hole." The blonde man said, folding the ever precious map carefully yet swiftly to put away on his person. "Ladies first." The sky pirate called out, holding the door open with a gentlemanly if less formal smile.


Shameless Freeloader Girl

"...Yes, ma'am." The pigtailed girl meekly stated to her boss before being whisked out of the establishment by the ghostly girl. Somehow, she felt the oddest deja vu...

"Nothing else." Ranma assertively confirmed as soon as she was clear of the flower shop, her normal self resurfacing. "And the name is Saotome Ranma, something extraordinaire." She stated proudly, despite the fact she all but forgot what she was amazing in. Hopefully the other girl won't automatically assume the worst, seeing as she allowed herself to be bribed out onto an outing for a free meal.

"Oh please, my queen, be my guest." she was never... ever going to stop doing this. It was a past time for her, anyway. Every five minutes she had to make some sort of comment against Vaan's appearance. attitude... anything that made Vaan Vaan. But, hey, it was all in good fun.

It took a while, but eventually the shrine was swept perfectly. True to her word, as soon as they had finished Yorihime accompanied Yuna into town.

"So..." the older girl said, her ponytail bobbing up and down with every step she took. "Where do you think we will find this Tidus boy?"

"Um... Well..." Yuna mumbled something incoherent, but it was enough to let Yorihime know she had no idea where to start.

"...Okay, let's just try and find information first. You can describe what he looks right, right?" A nod greeted this question. "Right... There's a new bar in town. I'm sure we'll find some information if we ask around there. Let's go, Yuna."

Of course, the Lunarian wasn't just going to the bar for information. The courting habits of humans always baffled and confused her. She needed to get some sake in her so she could put up with what was to come should they find this "Tidus". Well, hopefully this "Seventh Heaven" place served something better than the swill just about every other bar in Lastria. Hoping for the best, but ultimately prepared to be disappointed, she entered the establishment with Yuna close behind.
