Sumaru City was a hustling metropolis, full of men and women moving from point a to point b without a glance side to side. Particularly, in Konan, in a shopping mall not unlike most, a tiny door had appeared. With a blue velvet covering, a small moon-shaped window, and a frame that tiled ominously to the left, a soft piano melody echoed from it's ( Read more... )

Butterflies? Shadows everywhere? ... Open door? It didn't take a genius to put two and two together-- "I don't know what you did, but I'm grateful," he snapped, before bolting. 'Grateful.' The word left a bad taste in his mouth. You weren't supposed to let yourself get indebted to anyone!

Though he was in a full run by the time he got outside, Wolf skillfully skidded around [when was the last time he'd been in a ground fight, anyway? Five years? More?], pointing the blaster at the doorway.

Never could be too sure, y'see.

Ryu followed Wolf's lead after only a moment's hesitation. "Think nothing of it," he replied. The fact that whatever those strange people were, they could dissipate one of his Hadoukens surprised him. At least the shadow-things seemed to be wary of it.

But now there was a bigger question. What the hell was this key he was holding, and why did the gnome freak out so much at it?

Once outside, he turned to Wolf, glancing towards the door to the Velvet Room, then at the strange key in his hand. He could be mistaken, but it seemed to pulse with hadou power. "I was mistaken. All we have now... are far more questions than before."

From just beside the doorway of the Velvet Room a trail of smoke began to curl, and suddenly, once they were free, the door snapped shut on Belladonna's wailing voice. Slam, the room hopped once and twice from the ground, bending itself inside and out in spasms.

So you know, sometimes, jumpy people will do things on reflex.

Sometimes those reflexes include firing guns at strangely pulsating doors.

Could you really blame a guy-- wolf-- guy?

At least Ryu wasn't in the way. He'd be able to go on asking his questions. [Questions Wolf wouldn't mind getting answered, either.] The laser fire glanced of a door; a white door, with a red cross upon it. Wolf narrowed his good eye, waiting.

Pop! The door opened, and there, a green-haired woman flew out. Her hair in buns on either side of her head, in a short nurses outfit, she gave an irritated look about her, and finally, pointed straight at Wolf. "YOU!" She shouted, teeth bared, wings fluttering.

Yes, a fairy it seemed.

"YOU! COME HERE! BOTH OF YOU!" Now Ryu was included with her other hand. "COME HERE!"

After what happened, Ryu wasn't particularly inclined to let his curiosity get the best of him immediately. He glanced at Wolf as he lifted his keything defensively.

Somehow the fairy-thing seemed much more intimidating than the gnome and his cronies. "You'll forgive if we're a little wary after nearly getting jumped by shadow-creatures, miss."

"And why would we be going over there?" Anything that moved immediately got to see right down the barrel of his gun-- faerie-girl was no exception.

Well, neither was Ryu. But unlike everything else, his aim wasn't on Ryu for very long. The enemy of my enemy is my friend [or something like that], and currently the martial artist was the only goddamned thing in this godforsaken city that spoke AND hadn't tried to kill him.

"I'LL ONLY SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME!" She shouted, this time her voice grew shrill. "GET YOUR FURRY ASS AND YOUR SHITTILY DRESSED ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, AND YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT THE DAMAGE YOU'VE DONE TO MY DOOR!

"YOU HOOLIGANS THINK IT'S CHEAP TO RUN A BUSINESS THESE DAYS?!" Now she was screeching, her fists balled into tiny white balls, her knees bent, her body crunching in her rage. "GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW AND BRING YOUR YEN!"

shouryuu August 2 2006, 06:04:14 UTC

...

"The dog took my Yen."

ace_pirate August 2 2006, 06:04:59 UTC

...

"What the fuck is Yen?"

Now the faery literally had a ball of flame burning behind her little green haired face. "YOU LIAR YOU KARATE CHOPPING LIAR YOU WANT TO MESS WITH ME? YOU COME HERE AND MESS WITH ME!" Now she pointed angrily at the ground. "YOU OWE ME YEN! FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIX, AND I WILL COUNT UP BY ONE FOR EACH SECOND YOU WAIT TO PAY ME! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!"

shouryuu August 2 2006, 06:08:53 UTC

Ryu's left eyebrow rose. "No really. The dog. At the police station. He took my Yen..." And yet Ryu found himself walking towards her in an attempt to mollify her.

ace_pirate August 2 2006, 06:11:34 UTC

Wolf didn't approach the girl, but did lower the gun a bit, giving her a bemused look.

"... Money?" To repair her door? ... Okaaaaay then. Ryu, you keep walking, have~ fun~ with~ that~

sifrid August 2 2006, 06:12:20 UTC

"Panta? YOU PAID PANTA AND THEN RUINED MY DOOR, AND YOU TELL ME PANTA HAS IT?! WELL YOU GO TO PANTA, THAT DICKHEAD, AND GET ME MY MONEY BACK!"

shouryuu August 2 2006, 06:17:22 UTC

Ryu stopped. That dog... was creepier than she was. He looked over his shoulder at Wolf and gestured with his thumb. "Well you know. Technically. He shot your door. I'm just a bystander. But he has no money. He probably doesn't even have a concept of money. And me? Well, I could buy you soup with what I have but not much of anything else. What else can we do to make it up to you?"

Yes, we. Ryu wasn't goin' down like that.
