| Tifa Lockhart | The Seventh Heaven has been open for a few weeks now. Set in the middle of the slums, its a ray of light among the poor neighborhood. It's bright, cheerful, and always welcoming. It might have to do with the pleasantness of the barmaid there too. Faring at keeping everyone happy, she's quite busy, moving around the tables, serving up drinks, and the occasional Sea Salt Ice Cream too, that she recently got rights to sell in these parts, from the top-hat duck she met in Traverse Town. Its not the main focus, but profit is profit after all. There's some light music playing overhead, just a background noise to keep people calm, especially when they have drunk a bit too much. Not that it always work, if not she can usually manage still, she's used to it assuredly. You don't become a barmaid without knowing the risks after all. Standing behind the counter, she takes a moment to clean up some dishes between orders, hmming musically to herself. |
| Raiya Fujihara | Sometimes the best place to hide from your enemies is to lurk right on their doorstep. Raiya, a former Wutai samurai, is following this philosophy by staying in Goug for the time being. The travelling warrior is travelling in her normal attire with the exception of a dark gray travelling cloak being worn over her purple and black kimono. Samurai were never really that good at this whole incognito thing. Quietly, the blonde swordswoman has chosen a random bar in the slums to get herself a drink. With all the fighting that has been going on, the weary warrior could use a break from it all. Raiya's outfit might not do her well when it comes to concealing herself, but Gaston's loud and proud appearance ahead of her makes slipping into the bar a much easier task. The Wutai refugee solemnly makes her way to the bar and takes a seat there, her sheathed blade mostly hidden by her travelling cloak. In a clear contrast to Gaston, Raiya waits patiently to flag down the bartendress when she shows herself again. She is in no rush to bring attention to herself or to get a drink. With no master to serve, the samurai has all the time in the world now. |
| Gilgamesh | GOUG FIVE MINUTES AGO The people of Goug are not used to such sights. Oh, they're certainly used to strange things - you don't live in this city without being accustomed to some of the most bizarre crap, not with the things that stalk the streets at night, the train graveyard, and other horrible things that pop up when ShinRa Inc. isn't quite paying enough attention. But there's 'weird and trying to kill you', a state most Goug-dwellers understand...and then there's 'weird and not trying to kill you'. And that's...kind of a new thing. So the people are giving the gigantic man in the red cloak a nice, wide berth as he and his gigantic green rock hound walk the streets. All eyes follow the monsters as their conversation wafts through the streets before and behind them...well, the one-sided conversation. The entirely one-sided conversation. Alright, it's a giant talking to a dog, what more do you want? "I'm telling you, Enkidu...this place is great! Look at all the modern conveniences!" The giant notes cheerfully, pointing his hand around at a few of the scant electronic signs. The big green dog's head swings around with his finger, a bored look on the dog's face. How can a giant rock dog look bored...? Lots of practice. The giant stops in front of one of the bigger signs, crossing his (two) arms over his chest and looking up at it. The dog pauses next to him and lets out another sigh. "SEVENTH HEAVEN...hmmm! Enkidu, did you know there were six whole other heavens? I thought there were just one or two, but apparently there's seven!" The giant's finger comes up from his elbow. "What do you say we see what the Seventh Heaven is like?" BARK. Roughly translated: Do what you like, it's of no importance to me. "I thought so! That's the spirit, Enkidu!" Roughly translated: I do not actually listen to a thing you say anyway. The dog just sighs as his massive grey master bounds up the stairs and pushes open the doors. SEVENTH HEAVEN INTERIOR RIGHT NOW A massive grey giant just stepped through the doors, with a massive green rock hound next to him. He's got only two arms, but he's probably ten, maybe eleven feet tall - enough that he's having to bend over to fit inside the bar, anyway! - and completely white eyes, which are tilting around from under his red facemask. The giant makes his way over to the bar itself and attempts to sit on the stool. It does not work. He tries again, then again, then again, then pauses, suddenly realizing who's in front of him. A grin spreads behind his mask as he recognizes Tifa, and his finger goes up to scratch his cheek. "Oh, hello again, miss. You're looking lovely today! Is this your bar? No wonder it's one of the legendary seven Heavens, with an angel at its helm! Hey, move over," Gilgamesh nudges at Gaston with his shoulder, "I'm trying to sit and talk to the lady, pal!" Enkidu groans, lowers his head at Tifa in greeting, then pads over to stand near Raiya - out of the potential 'blast zone', as it were. |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart does have drinks, strong ones too. But she sure hopes it doesn't put hairs on her chest for serving them o_o But if the tall man himself wasn't getting her attention, the shouting would, of course. She moves over to the big man "No need to shout now, I'll serve you just the same." she offers a kind smile, another token of how she runs things in this place. She doesn't encourage any sort of violence, be it physical or vocal, so she wouldn't try to stir things up unnecessarly either. Cheerfulness first, that seems to work most of the time. She considers for a moment, looking at Gaston's hands, and then leans underneath the counter, away from sight for a moment. And then with a mighty 'hup', she brings up a huge looking mug in front of Gaston. Not giant, but definitely bigger than those handed around the place right now. She lifts it up again, holding it toward the ale barrel, filling it up as she would normally. But then an even bigger man enters... She shakes her head, not displeased at Gilgamesh per say, but rather... at the second oversized mug she pulls out, just in case he wants something too. She smiles to him "Hi, nice to see you again. Anything to drink?" She lets the compliments roll off, she appreciates them still~ She's simply used to them. She waves to Avira and Raiya too "Anything for you all to drink?" She's a busy barmaid, indeed. "Yup, this is my place, I reopened after getting lost quite a bit trying to get here. What a strange world we're in now." |
| Gilgamesh | Gaston is GREAT at being intimidating. He's big, he's tough, he eats lard, he's roughly the size of a barge, yadda yadda yadda. Most people are probably pretty intimidated by a guy like that. Most PCs probably aren't, but PCs like to no-sell that kind of thing anyway, so why do you care if PCs are intimidated? I mean, unless they're the little cowardly type, they're probably going to act big and tough and badass. Really, MUSHing as a whole is just kind of this interplay of selling and no-selling, and I could get on a really good discourse about how stupid it is sometimes but right now I'm just the impartial narrator. Who doesn't love an impartial narrator? That's right, ladies, I'm so impartial I'm bitching about my own character's tendencies. Appreciate it. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Gaston IS great at being intimidating, but Gilgamesh is really bad at being intimidated. It's not that he gets intimidated often, it's that he's generally not quite smart enough to recognize when he's being intimidated. It's a sort of bizarre animal cunning defense mechanism rather than actual bravery (because Gilgamesh is pretty willing to run the hell away if he's not interested in a fight, much to Enkidu's annoyance). So right now, Gaston's menacing flex (and it is truly menacing, striking fear into the hearts of lesser men and (Le)Foes everywhere) is utterly pointless! What's the anti-hero to do? Gilgamesh scratches the side of his head again. "I was talking to her too, you know! How rude...to think someone like you can get into Heaven, too! The Glabados would want me to beat you up, you know? You know, the Glabados? The /chuuuuurch/?" Gilgamesh looks around the room. "I BET YOU GUYS KNOW THE GLABADOS, RIGHT? THEY'D WANT ME TO KICK HIS ASS! FOR GOD AND STUFF!" "I'm a really faithful guy," Gilgamesh observes to the literal air after a moment, his hand going up to his chin in a thoughtful stance. "What a great God we've got here...!" Enkidu has, by this time, buried his head under his paws. What he'd expected to be a stupid bar fight might turn into an international incident at this rate. |
| Raiya Fujihara | Raiya clearly does not have to worry one bit about drawing any untoward attention to herself, thanks to a certain giant in the room and a not as large, but large-mouthed customer that seems to having some sort of heated conversation with the giant.....and it seems that Gilgamesh is not afraid to let things escalate at all. This place might actually be the perfect place for an enemy of the states to remain incognito. Raiya follows Avira's example. "I, too, will have a drink of local preference." The samurai explains to the bust...busy barmaid. The now not so silent samurai seems to have a kindred spirit in the room. Enkidu, the wolf-thing, gets a smile from Raiya. Hopefully her drink will arrive before a fight and/or the local authorities show up. |
| Avira | "Surprise me with something local!" Avira calls back to Tifa, having by now sampled three other 'something locals' tonight. Judging by the neat triangle of popsicle sticks arranged on the bar in front of her, she's been putting away the sea salt ice cream too. She's still very lucid, easily able to focus on those around her, talk without slurring, and hold her balance. Practice taking alcohol? "Maira! Fancy meeting you here. Quit a coincidence, actually." This was Goug and Maira clearly said she was from Midgar, right? Avira is none the wiser on that matter. Nevermind friendly greetings, though. There's clearly an altercation growing between that HUGE HUGE HUGE grey-skinned guy and that HUGE HUGE HUGE human. Part of her had immediately wondered if the tall grey guy was a monster of some kind but she /clearly/ heard him hitting on the barmaid. "...hmm, must be some race I haven't heard of yet..." Avira wonders aloud. Sorry Gaston, you are not winning the attention contest against Gilgamesh with this short woman right now. |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart is pretty much sharing Enkidu's reaction on this, but she plays the host still. She sets the ale in front of Gaston "Here's your ale, there wasn't any cutting in line sir, we met before, that's all." she smiles to the tall Gaston kindly. But sadly she can't flatter his ego that long since there are other customers to take care of. Avira gets one of the 'local specialties', #4 at least today. She serves it out of one of the bottles, branded as 'Shinra farms', at least its not artificial engineered or anything the like, wouldn't be surprising with them either. She brings it over to Avira, along with a pair of sea salt ice cream pops for Maira. She wouldn't want to give 5 at a time, they would melt. Unless Maira REALLY melts them down, but... that's possible with the girl too, Tifa just doesn't know it. She smiles and moves back behind the counter again afterwards... making sure the two men don't start fighting yet... Also turning away t hook a finger into the neck of her tanktop... she wants to make sure serving those drinks REALLY don't give chest hair <.<; Better safe than sorry. |
| Gilgamesh | THE IMPARTIAL NARRATOR IS FROWNING SO GODDAMNED HARD AT YOU RIGHT NOW GASTON YOU HAVE NO IDEA DON'T GET ME INVOLVED IN ALL THIS ahem Gilgamesh rolls his shoulders. "What, you're gonna back down now after all that flexing?! I'm disappointed! But I guess no one is a match for Gilgamesh, the world's greatest sword-hunter! Ha - ow - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Gilgamesh throws back his head, a victory laugh resounding through the bar. He also nails his head on the bar ceiling, which is why he said ow. Keep up, people, he's like eleven feet tall! Enkidu shoots a look at Raiya and just kind of...nods. The big green dog pads over to her, Maira, and Avira; up close, it is very apparent that he is SOME kind of Rock Hound, but not any kind Avira'd ever have seen. The gold trim is too oddly regal, the body too big and bulky. More importantly, he just looks too...intelligent. Too /smart/. Not animal smart, people-smart. Maybe even genius. The rock hound swings its head from side to side at the ladies, then settles down between them, ready to help them out of the bar in case things go south. BARK, Enkidu observes. "You're quite right, Enkidu, old chum! This calls for a victory sip!" Gilgamesh reaches back behind him, his massive grey fingers closing over the EXACT SAME MUG. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN~ |
| Raiya Fujihara | Raiya is not too surprised that her drink order is ignored. There -is- a lot going on right now and the only being relatively close to her is Enkidu. The sober samurai turns her attention towards the Gigantic Gees. Perhaps this might be her cue to quietly slip out before something starts for real. The blonde warrior can sadly recognize the tension before a fight quite easily and the air seems to be a-flutter with it. Enkidu seems to have the right idea....maybe. There seems to be something different about this rock/wolfhound. But she really should not be surprised at this. Why would a tall giant have a normal dog companion? Hopefully, Tifa will return with her drink soon enough so that she can also follow Enkidu's sound advice. A thoughtful moment later, Raiya taps a gold coin against the bartop. That should help get the barmaid to come back her way. Raiya is so far blissfully unaware of the impending mug-aggedon. |
| Avira | Taking the bottle, Avira grins at Tifa, "Thank you, kindly." She offers, leaning one elbow against the countertop. Rather than drink right away, she takes a sniff at the liquid in the bottle to determine that it's...well, likely a beer of some kind. Or what passes as beer. Do they make it with hops here, Avira wonders. Could ask...or she could taste it and find out. But she doesn't taste it, not right away, too entranced by the excitement between the two most rowdy patrons in the room. Gilgamesh goes on about a church called Glabados and Avira is half-tempted to shout out in response that she's certainly never heard of it! However, she is not nearly intoxicated enough for such an impulsive outburst. As the escalation continues, a curious dog-like creature comes to visit her. Looking down at Enkidu quite carefully, she finds herself quite surprised. "...now you're certainly a lot more fancy than any wolf I've ever seen." She leans down a little more, looking into the "rock hound's" eyes. 'Bark.' Gilgamesh responds to Enkidu as if he was talking to him, but Avira frowns, "...I think you're talking to me, aren't you?" POW. Escalation complete. Gaston lets the blows start to fly as ale territory is invaded. Avira's eyes suddenly light up. "A bar fight! A /real/ bar fight!" she gasps, "Oooh, I've never seen a real one before." |
| Gilgamesh | Enkidu shrugs at Avira. It's the most noncommital shrug in the world, that's for sure. That regal rock hound is basically an expert at being noncomittal. The big hound pads forward a bit to get in front of Tifa, before she goes to try and cut the fight off. He looks up at the barmaid, shaking his head 'no'. BARK. BARK. Too bad literally only two people in all the universes know what Enkidu is saying, and one of them is a stone-cold moron. But his intention is clearly to stop Tifa from intervening, probably because intervening would just insult them both and make the fight spread...and that would just cause more damage. Best to let it play out, for now...right? MEANWHILE AT THE ACTUAL BAR, GILGAMESH BEING PUNCHED Gilgamesh is punched. It's a solid, solid hit; the uppercut smashes Gilgamesh's head upwards into the ceiling, and the giant grey man lets out a reflexive 'ow' a moment later. There's no bruise...? In fact, it's like nothing at all happened to injure Gilgamesh, but the look on his face is clearly one of injury and outrage. Weird... Gilgamesh grabs the back of his head as he ducks down. "Now that's just not fair! Enkidu, this guy hit me while I was reaching for my drink! H-how unfair, Enkidu! What a cheater this guy is! Say, do you know who he is...? You know things, Enkidu! Is he someone famous? Like a filmsphere star?" Gilgamesh's head turns back to Gaston. "I bet you're a sphere star, aren't you! Wow, how lucky! I get to punch a sphere star!" And then Gilgamesh moves to deck Gaston right in the face with a hand that's probably about as big as Gaston's chin. "Quick, someone get this on camera, I'm about to beat up a film star!" Enkidu groans and steps back. Never mind that bit about not intervening, Tifa. You go right ahead and intervene all you like. Enkidu's out, he's gonna go hang out with Avira and Raiya, /they/ seem like intelligent ladies who would appreciate a sophisticated discourse. Which is a great change from his usual partner for discourse. Too bad neither of them can understand him, but....! |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart would have understood about not intervening... but she still has to try to do something to stop them. She'd handle Raiya's drink too if it wasn't for those two oafs. What will the barmaid do? She hops up on the countertop, so she can level herself with the two tall men... And each of them get a slap behind the head "No fighting in the bar, take it outside if you can't help it!" She looks at Gaston "That was your drink." She looks at Gilgamesh "That was his drink, you didn't order yet." she follows with slamming the empty oversized mug into his chest pointedly, before hopping back down the counter. She sweeps her hands. One can't say she hasn't at least TRIED to calm them down before the actual fight started. At least before they tore down her precious bar ._. |
| Raiya Fujihara | The outbreak of a fist fight causes Raiya to leap onto her feet, her sandals making a heavy 'CLOP' sound as they connect with the floor. Instinctually, she had readied herself and had also gripped the hilt of her katana as if she was ready to swing. "Tch." she comments as she lets go of the hilt of her blade. While it is normally good to have such quick reflexes, it can be detrimental for someone who was trying to relax. With the barmaid trying to stop the fight and no drink of her own in sight, Raiya seems doomed to a night of sobriety....unless. An idea pops in the samurai's head, but it is quickly quashed. No sense in risking life and limb over a drink....even if it a tasty libation for her parched throat. Sigh. The casualties of war again weigh heavy on her heart. Enkidu and Avira get a look from the thirsty samurai. "You are both wise to stay out of such an engagement." Raiya does not retake her seat, but merely turns slightly to keep an eye on the fight. "Only more folly can come of it." ....and spilled drinks. |
| Gilgamesh | "Ah...ahahaha, whoops!" Gilgamesh looks down at the mug in his hands. Well, that was a silly mistake! He'd punched the guy in the face over it, too. Gosh, that was kind of a rude thing to do, wasn't it? Maybe he should apologiOH GOD WHAT Gilgamesh is suddenly tackled to the ground, smashing against one of the tables and sending it falling on top of the pair. Despite being titanic and well-balanced, Gilgamesh is just not ready for the tackle; he'd been distracted by Tifa, like many a man before him, and like many a man before him, he'd paid for it greatly. The barge of a man comes down upon him, the table flips and smashes into the ground, and Gilgamesh's mug shatters against him. Still no blood though. "OK! NOW I'M REALLY FEELING PUMPED UP! FORGET ABOUT THE DRINK, MISS - I'VE GOT A WAY BETTER WAY TO GET DRUNK! /PUNCH/-DRUNK! ...BECAUSE I'LL BE PUNCHING HIM! A LOT! NOBODY CALLS GILGAMESH A TINY LITTLE WHINY GIRL THING!" Gilgamesh rolls the pair, attempting to get on top of Gaston and start punching him in the face. Enkidu just...slowly nods at Raiya. He pads over and sits next to them, his expression bored and annoyed. One can tell that he and Gilgamesh have a great history together...a great, long history. Probably most of it is /exactly like this/. |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart is starting to fume here. And an unhappy barmaid is not a nice sight for anyone. The problem is, is she strong enough to take two guys like that out of the bar? She can usually take care of drunkards, but two muscle-man, almost twice as tall as she is, what is she supposed to do? She moves over to the two as they topple the table "YOU TWO STOP RIGHT NOW!" She'd love to grab the two of them and toss them out. "GET OUT OF MY BAR IF YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT!" And her customers are already leaving T_T |
| Gilgamesh | It is noteable that Gilgamesh is headbutted at the exact same time as he, himself, is going for a headbutt. So as Gaston's head rears back, so too does Gilgamesh's; as Gaston's skull comes swinging inwards, so too does Gilgamesh. STOP! IT'S TIME FOR A SCIENCE LESSON WITH DOCTOR ENKIDU! Did you know that the amount of damage an object in motion does on impact is calculated by the equation 'Force equals Mass times Acceleration'? That is, the force of an object on impact is equal to the mass of the object itself, multiplied by how fast the object is going! So a big head like Gilgamesh's, going quite quickly, is going to do a lot of damage to a person! BUT DOCTOR ENKIDU, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN /TWO/ OBJECTS IN MOTION COLLIDE? Well that's easy! You just take the Force of both objects, and add it together! So, for example, if we assume that Gilgamesh's head has a mass of 7kg because it's so thick, and Gaston's head has a mass of 5kg - the upper end of a human head's mass - and both of them were going approximately the same speed, let's say 3 Meters/Second/Second, then the total amount of Force is...? That's right! Gilgamesh's 21 joules of force plus Gaston's 15 joules of force equals a whopping 36 joules of force exerted when they collide! Or, in layman's terms, a whole lot of damage! WOW! THANKS, DOCTOR ENKIDU! Anyway, the two huge musclemen collide, rocking drinks across the bar as their heads plant against each other. Obviously, the end result of this is that Tifa's voice is ignored. She's going to have to jump in and pry them apart if she wants to part them, it seems...! |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart is starting to get very angry now. Beign ignored, the two men starting to detroy the place, and making her customers run away... That's NOT how to handle business. Time to try to put a stop to it. Now Dr Enkidu, what happens when two hard heads are met with a set of prying legs? Actually, what she happens is two boots that come right between the two guys, as the barmaid is half-vaulted over the counter... And then a trained, double-kick motion, attempting to pry the two in the most forcible way. If that works, the movement is followed by the two legs going to lock around Gaston's head, as the barmaid uses her impressive athletic prowess to pull him backward... up... and then flipping down to a handstand as her strong legs are used to TOSS Gaston out the door. Flipping back to her feet, she turns to Gilgamesh, hands on her hips "Now do I need to toss you out as well or are you going to walk on your own!?!" |
| Gilgamesh | Gilgamesh is suddenly interrupted! This is an entirely new sort of situation, he's never been interrupted before - /he's/ the one who does the interrupt/ing/! So once Gaston is flung out the door, Gilgamesh just kind of blinks, pulling himself to his feet and hunching over a bit to look down at Tifa. "Oh...um....I'll go out on my own, miss. Sorry about the mess." He ducks down a little more, scratching the back of his neck, before he tromps outside to follow Gaston. "Well...." Gilgamesh stretches out to his full, and much bigger, height once he's outside, looking down at Gaston. "The moment's sort of lost now, don't you think?" Enkidu groans and pads over to Tifa, presenting his palm to her. |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart shakes enkidu's paw, phewing a bit as the two men don't come after her either. That's a relief in itself. She's kind to everyone, but she certainly doesn't take it kindly when they ignore her and start destroying her place out either. She finally gets to Raiya's drink too. She hands her over a glass of the drink she ordered up, and its like the flip switched back to 'cheerful barmaid' in the space of a few seconds "Here you go, sorry for the time it took, its on the house." She then moves over to clean things up... a table to replace, glass shards... |
| Gilgamesh | "I...I thought I told you! I am Gilgamesh, the greatest swordsman in the worlds, weaponhunter extraordinaire! And that charmingly witty green animal inside is my partner, Enkidu! Enkidu, come say hello to the sphere star!" Enkidu gives Tifa a look of long-suffering annoyance, tips his head to the ladies in the bar, and pads outside to meet the latest musclebound moron. |
| Avira | Wisely, this whole time, Avira has been thoroughly quiet. Too awestruck to yell, too interested in watching the fight to up and leave completely, she's taken to accomplishing an intensive dance. No longer just opting to sit on her stool, she occasionally bobs or ducks around others moving. Avira, oddly enough, also never seems to stray too far away from Enkidu. That is until the fight finally ends and Enkidu joins a lamenting Tifa who know has to deal with a mess and lost patrons. Avira actually feels kind of sorry for Tifa when she realizes these consequences of what was, otherwise, a great fight. Finishing what little was left of that ShinRa-brand beer (eh, it was okay), Avira leaves a pile of coins stacked neatly in the triangle of popsicle sticks at her spot. Hopefully that would be enough to cover the costs tonight, right? She moves to leave shortly afterwards, heading right out the door where Gaston was just ejected. "That was great." Avira cheerfully encourages with a grin, "Do that again sometime." |
| Tifa Lockhart | Tifa Lockhart waves to Enkidu as the poor thing walks out. Well yes, she feels for the thing. She also waves to Avira as she picks up her broom for the cleaning. Well, the house is still standing, customers should come back... unless this becomes a regular event ~_~ |
| Gilgamesh | "I wouldn't know, I didn't get to drink any." Enkidu is tremendous. It just affixes Gaston with the exact same look of absolute apathy as it generally does Gilgamesh; even Gaston would be able to tell beyond a shadow of a doubt that Enkidu was at the very least human-level intelligent. The look in those eyes was beyond animal cunning. "Hah! Hahahahaha! It's great to meet someone as strong as you! Let's find another place, then! Although...the bartender there is cute..." Gilgamesh admits after a moment, rubbing his neck as he heads down the steps. SUDDENLY AVIRA! Gilgamesh turns his head to look at her. "Do it again... you mean, another barfight? Well...I guess we could start some trouble somewhere else. But I bet there's no one in this town who could handle me...say, do you want to come along with us? I'm sure we can find some trouble if we look!" |
| Avira | "It's kind of odd..." Avira says, tapping her chin, "I've seen the owner of that place actually fight so I dunno why she didn't /really/ jump in." Perhaps because Avira is uncomprehending of proper bartender code of conduct. But if a bartender can be the bouncer and kick someone's butt, why not do just that? "Oh, oh yeah-" Avira nods enthusiastically at Gilgamesh. Wild hand gestures follow, "Like one of those huge brawls that get the whole bar involved and wrecks the whole place." Come to think of it, it's good that such a thing didn't happen to Tifa's bar! Gilgamesh extends the offer to come along with the two and Avira nods enthusiastically. In another life she wouldn't dare. This screamed bad idea all over it. That other life was long since over. "Suuuuure. Let's go!" |
