The Start of it All

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Shi... we are in the bar!  We've been waiting for one of you two to notice...

IC: "Why do you insist that I know you?" Ryder said to Kwok while starting to walk to the bar...

[Kwokinator]

"Because you do!" Kwok continued weeping his fake weep. "Have you forgotten the promise you made to me already?  Have you?  You heartless bastard!"

[RyderHakubi]

Looking at Kwok with his eyes narrowed, his eyes flashed gold and Ryder said, "Get it through your head!  I DON'T KNOW YOU!!!"

[Kwokinator]

"You lying bastard!" Kwok cried, his eyes red from all the crocodile tears.  Grabbing a cup from the nearby bar, he proceeded to slam it on Ryder's head. "Pay!"

[Naphtali]

Shi calmly reached over and took the cup away from Kwok.  "Get your own, thank you."  He paused and sipped more of the fruity concoction.

"By the way, stop causing trouble.  I already had to fix the bit where you killed someone."

[ooc - sorry, thought you and ryder were just outside.  well, the gang has met.. sorta...]

[Carthrat]

"SUMMON BAHAMUT!" screamed the old mage, just when Carthrat kicked Cragboy out a conveniantly placed Stained-glass window.

"Oh, don't be an idiot. No WAY a dragon could fit in here," Carthrat replied snidley, pointing his pistol at the mage.

The roof of the tower promptly dissapeared, givng Carthrat full view of the rather large dragon hovering above him.

"...Shit."

He fired a couple of shots at the mage- and promptly hid behind a bookcase when the dragon began slinging around vast amounts of energy.

"Hmm. This has only one solution, I see."

Carthrat, having said this, took off his N-Space cloak and neatly folded it into itself, before sticking what was left into his pocket..

Used the oh-so-conveniant wings on his back to rise into the air..

Took the mage down with one bullet..

And began fleeing from the somewhat irate dragon behind him, whose orders were still "Kill intruder."

This was NOT his day.

[Tomas]

In his seat on the other side of Shi, Tomas yawned, still ignoring the fight going on.  It didn't seem like it concerned him anyway.  Instead he was swirling the last of his drink in his glass and watching the game on the screen.

It wasn't a bad game, all in all.  It seemed to Tomas to be some kind of underwater soccar.  He wondered exactly how those people managed to hold their breath for so long.  If he'd tried that, he'd have died.  Well, as close as he could come to dying, anyway.

Finally the halftime of the game happened, and Tomas looked at his glass.  With a frown he came to realize something.  He was broke.

Reaching over, Tomas tapped Shi on the shoulder.  "Hey, cousin, do you got any money on ya?  Money that works on this world, I mean."

[Naphtali]

"Hey, cousin, do you got any money on ya?  Money that works on this world, I mean."

Shi look vaguely puzzled.  "Money?  Oh.. umm.."  Well, now, this was embarassing.  He hadn't thought to bring any money.  Was gold valuable on this world?  Oh wait no, he had an idea.

Shi skipped, like movie that was missing a few frames, or a CD player that was shaken.  "Right.  Yes, yes I DO have money from this world."

[Tomas]

With a grin and a smile, Tomas clapped his hands together once.  "Wonderful!  Then in celebration of this reunion, I'll be kind enough to let you pay for the drinks!"  

Relieved that the momentary crisis was averted, Tomas looked past Shi to the two people who were still making a scene.  One of them looked rather familiar. It took a moment, but he finally managed to place the voice.  "Hey Shi, isn't that Kwok?"

[Naphtali]

Shi nodded.  "Yes, it is.  I thought you had noticed."  He reached over and smacked Kwok in the back of the head. "See?  It's him, I'd know that hollow thump anywhere."

[Tomas]

Tomas nodded his head slowly.  "Yes, yes...you're right, it IS Kwok.  Well, then, how about we leave him with the bill?"  That sounded like a good thing to do.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok growled and smacked Shi back on the head.

"Dammit, stop doing that Shi!" he practically screamed. "And when did I kill anyone?!"

Without even turning his head, he launched a small ki blast at Tomas. "Do it and die, T-man!"

[Naphtali]

Shi nodded and suddenly there was no ki-blast.  He turned his head and looked at his brother.  "Bro, you screw up my vaction, you won't be able to reincarnate for over 10,000 years!  I'll scatter your essence over a million worlds!"

He sipped from his drink again.  "Now sit down and stop cuasing a scene."

[Tomas]

"Shi is right Kwok.  Leave that poor sap alone, sit down, and have a drink.  By Us, you always take things so damn personal."

Turning back to his drink, Tomas frowned.  Things had been so nice before Kwok started being his usual self.  Why couldn't he for once take a break and relax?  Hell, even he didn't want to fight all the time.  And the more he sat here with his drink, the less he wanted to randomly destroy things.  A vacation.  Yeah, that would be nice.

[Kwokinator]

"You can't kill me and you know it, Shi!" Kwok said, smirking. "You kill me, you kill yoursel and the entire Universe."

"But fine," he relented. "I'll leave Ryder alone.  By the way, he lost his memory."
