The location, London, England. The train station is rather slow today, no one has any business trips or any family members to visit; it is a rather slow day indeed.

Back at the HQ:

"Allen! Allen ALLEN!!!! Where is Lenalee-chan!!!?" Komui's voice could be heard miles away from the radio golem.

"Ettou... she's somewhere... aheheh...."

"FIND HER FIND HER!! NOW!!!" THe noise of a loud crash could be heard in the background as Allen stood scared and shock at what was happening.

"Ummmm, I gotta go on the train now Komui, so I'll-"

"Noooooooo!!!! Bring back Lenalee!!"

Allen quickly turned off the golem so he couldn't hear anymore of the screaming from Komui. "Let's see, I'm suppose to meet some Exorcists around here to head back to the HQ... I wonder where they are...?"

_____________

Rules:

- This is a filler-arc, there will be 2 EXP Points given out to everyone who posts.

- There will be canon characters here.

- This filler-arc will last 2 days at max and it is pretty much for laughs a giggles. Here will be no serious fights, so no hurting anyone. But you can get into goofy brawls with someone... :cm:

- The Exorcists won't recognize the Noah and Akuma since they will be in their light and human form. So everyone will interact together.

- Have fun, laugh and enjoy!

- And we're going to play poker.. with Allen and Krory too so be prepared..

"Here, take the strawberry ice-cream, Crescent...," said Rexus as he handed a cone of pink ice-cream with a lot of candies on top of it. But all he got was a dark glare from his partner.

"I. DO NOT. like. sweet. things," muttered Crescent "You know it. But why do you always bought them for ME??!!"

"Aww... it's because you're sooo sweet, Crescent. So I want to buy many sweet things for you too," smiled Rexus in his perfect gentleman smile.

GRAUK!

And the ice-cream cone gone... eaten by no other but Venus, Crescent's cat, who had waited patiently since Rexus bought it for his master.

"Thanks, Venus," said Crescent.

"Venus! Don't ruin my plot!" pouted Rexus.

"No way. He's my pet. He would only obey me," smirked Crescent as they walked around the train station, searching for the exorcist they had to meet.

Gabriel wandered down the Quay side whistling as he stopped at a store and bought an apple. Munching down on it he sensed the signatures that represented Exorcist power signatures in the city..

I wonder why they hate us so much

He thought as he walked through the growing crowd and towards londons busiest train station...Behind him the screams as the women in the crowd discovered the slaughtered body's of the ships crew he left behind him.

((^^ Gabriel's a coming for a chat and a nice day out getting to know the exorcists..If you want you can RP meeting me at the train station I dun mind...My main objective is just to get to know why the exorcists are doing what they're doing.))

Hiro and Keisuke arrived in London.

"Hiro-chaaan! Want to go and look aroound? There are so many things to do heere!" Keisuke cheerily said as they walked out the train station Keisuke's outburst had caused heads to look around at them.

"SHUT UP! Why do I feel like I'm the older one? Sheesh....Now act like your age! You're 20 for god's sake!" Hiro clearly appear irritated.

"Soorry! I was just excited.....Come on! Don't be mad!" Keisuke appologised.
"AHH! Where are you going! Wait for me!"

Hiro had stalked off whilst Keisuke was apologising.

I feel like his brain stopped when he was 10!

He walked past a person who appeared to be munching on an apple, Keisuke following behind apologising over and over.

"OK! Fine i forgive you! Stop saying sorry now! Are you hungry?"

"Yaaaay! I want CHIPS!!"

Hiro let out a sigh, they found a fish & chip shop, they ordered some chips and they sat down beginning to eat.

((Famous dish of england =P Fish and chips lool))

"Stupid so-called-uncle of mine..." Nicholas stood in a white uniform, what seemed like a paper hat and a cart of... gelato? Xavier sat on the bench beside Nicholas and could hardly contain himself from laughing. Several smirks and muffled giggles almost made Nicholas explode.

"WHAT?" Nicholas screamed at Xavier.

"Nothing...tell me, what happened again?" Xavier asked.

"You already know." Nicholas replied, leaning on the cart with a distasteful look on his face.

"My memory seems to be slipping, I think you'll need to tell me again." Xavier reiterated, the muffled laughs still fairly clear.

"My 'uncle' cut me off, he said I need to know the value of a dollar. The Earl said I had to obey. THE LUDICROUS OF IT ALL!" Nicholas exclaimed, practically pulling his hairs out of their roots.

Nicholas looked at an exorcist get an ice cream cone. He saw an extremely child walk up to the ice cream vendor, man if you please. He asked for vanilla. Nicholas grinned. He flicked his finger, the cone the boy was just handed melted in his hands. The boy began to cry.

There.

His mother seemed to be arguing with the man telling him that he sold them faulty and fake ice cream. The man said he couldn't do anything about it and her son should have ate faster. Nicholas walked over to the mother and child with a chocolate gelato.

"Here you go son, it's on the house." Nicholas said with a smile. He handed the boy a cup of gelato. The boy immediately stopped crying and looked intrigued by the gelato. He dipped his spoon into it and took a scoop and ate it. With delight he continued eating.

"Thank you very much." The mother said.

"Rave! Rave!" Lenalee ran after Rave, who seemed rather bent on staying as far away from her as he could. This could be because her brother had recently discovered that Rave has stolen Lenalee's first kiss, and unleashed Komurin X on him, but Lenalee suspected that Rave was feeling guilty. He had, after all, hurt her rather brutally in his violent escape from the Black Order HQ, mumbling something about "the north".

Still, he was her good friend of hers and besides, she did enjoy the kiss.

"Rave! RAVEN!" The reaction to his real name was immediate, he turned and glared at her.

"Don't ever call me that! My name is Rave!" His rough shout seemed to stagger him, and he stopped and ran his left hand over his brow. She noticed he was hiding his right hand in his pocket all the time, keeping it away from sight.

She had no idea what did her brother tell him, but her instincts told her that there was something there he was holding back.

"Rave... listen... we should really talk..." She had trouble breathing, her sides still paining her.

Rave glanced at her, and turned away. "Talk? Talk? You want to talk? We have nothing to talk about!"

"We do!" Answered Lenalee, once again uncharacteristically staring at him and not giving him the cold treatment. He expected to be ignored and treated distantly like Allen was, but... instead, she seemed trying to pry into his thoughts, to understand him.

And more importantly, she lifted her defenses. Normally, stout Lenalee was a strange thing. She seemed so... normal. A perfectly regular girl, one day snatched from her family to gain special powers.

But when you opened the lid, she was a mystery, a free-willed breeze, nearly impossible to catch and harder yet to hold.

Sighing, he said, "ok, but..."

Suddenly, an explosion from somewhere to the right alerted them that Komurin X was incoming. Rave rolled his eyes.

"Let's go..."

((When did Rave kiss Lenalee? Lol))

Hiro got up from the table.

"Come on let's go..." Hiro said wanting to quickly leave.

"Ok! Let's go walk around!" Keisuke happily said.

The 2 brothers left the shop and began wandering about London, 30 minutes later they wandered to an ice-cream vendor.

"Ooooh! I want some iiiiccee-creeeaaammm!"

Keisuke ran over and a few minutes later he came back with a chocolate ice cream cone, he licked it happily like a little kid Hiro gave a small smile for his brother's childishness.

They walked back to the station hoping to see some exorcists there.

Sitting in the cafe near the train station, Jacques was reading his book with a chess board in front of him and his feet on the table. Everyone seemed hustling and bustling, running around and ready for some good relaxation.

The gelato vendor seemed rather exhausted. Jacques strolled up, with his jacket off and normal hair and eyes. Pulling out a gold piece, he threw it at the man. He wore white contacts. It couldn't be him. Jacques picked up his gelato in time to feel the explosion.

Someone else had decided to sit in the chair across from him, but he couldn't tell who it was from behind their newspaper. Jacques sat down and kept reading his book. The waiter had dropped off the wine and a couple of glasses; Jacques was pleased. Something to help me enjoy and pass the time.

Pouring a glass, he asked for another wine glass for his table.

"Le temps est le plus grand professeur, mais il tue toutes ses pupilles."

((Someone drink with me.))

Annoyed about the previous mission, Hei grabs a paper, a stiff drink and sits down at a table. Glancing over the paper he realizes he had just sat down opposite of Jacques.

"Oi, hello Jacques." Grinning slightly, even though it were tough at the time, Hei downs his bourbon and calls for another glass. The previous mission still bothered him greatly.

"Oh! Hei, fancy a game?" Toying with one of the game pieces, Jacques clearly would like a game of chess. Unfortunately, Hei had never played.

"Sorry sorry, I have to decline, not knowing the rules. I think I'll just get slightly drunk." draining the second glass of the rich amber liquid, a third is called.

"So, Jacques. Nevermind I don't feel like talking about that mission, I'd rather get drunk." Again emptying the contents of the glass, a fourth round is delivered.

"It is rather noisy for such serious discussion." Agrees Jacques.

((there, you can see Hei get drunk))

"BEANSPROUT!!!"

As soon as Jean entered the door he found a half naked Kanda trying to kill Allen Walker, who was grinning evilly and seemed to look like he had horns on his head. Krowry had tears in his eyes as he threw his losing hand down.

"Poker huh?"

"Want to play?" said Allen as his smile grew wider and more sinister at the same time running away from Kanda.

"Uhh...no thanks..."

Raphael"

"Bloody priests. They knoooow, that this stuff is gooooooooood for you, but they STILLLLL ban it inside the walls of the Vatican. Did I ever tell you that I came from there? You see... I'm actually Swiss but I've been..."

"Yes, yes. I've heard it over a thousand times already mate. Get a grip of yourself, or stop drinking if you can't do that." Said the bartender, reaching for Raphael's bottle of vodka.

"NNNNNNNOO! Bad puppy, you'rrrrrrrre underrrrrrrrrrrrage!" Replied the completely drunk Raphael, taking another sip from the bottle's mouth and noticing the presence of both Hei and Jacques in the distance.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!! You guys here for a drink toooooooooooooo? I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the drinks they have to -hiccup- Whoops! I -hiccup- Again?! Hehehe..." Was the last thing Raphael said before resting on the stool next to Hei's and snoring like a true dunkard to his vodka.

"The funny thing lads..." Interrupted the bartender, looking at both Jacques and Hei "Is that your mate here is drunk on chocolate flavoured milk. I poured it into a vodka bottle after washing it so as not waste the fine glass there, aye?"

------------------------------------

Xavier:

"Hmmm... Nope, I'm dropping out of this one as well."

My cards were a wreck. The 2 of diamonds, the 7 of spades, the Jack of clubs, the queen and the ace of hearts. There was no way I could win a single dime with this hand, not now, not ever. I looked over at Constantine, sitting on the opposite side of the table with hopes that he'd be able to win us some money for tonight.

"Why can't we play a more Xavier-friendly game as a family, huh? Like... Spades? Maybe even chess?" My question was directed at the 12 year old Noah, who sat ever so innocently with a group of winning cards in her hands. She sucked on her lollipop a bit more, before spreading out her cards in the open and announcing her 113th win against us.

"It's not SWEET enough!" Protested the angry Skin as he threw his gelato cone at Nicholas, disturbing the harmony the family was enjoying. This brief moment of havoc was the instant that Tyki grabbed to change the game.

"Well then, since Ms. Road here has been rather lucky, she'll have no problems showing off her die throwing skills in this game."

The spectacled, goofy nerd who posed as Tyki in his "light" form, drew out a large chutes and ladders board from underneath the table. There he assigned each of the Noah a round plastic palette with a unique color, we had to roll the die to determine who was going to go first.

Tyki: [roll0]
Road: [roll1]
Nicholas: [roll2]
Constantine: [roll3]
Xavier: [roll4]
Skin: [roll5]

"NOT SWEET ENOUGH?!" Nicholas screamed. He rolled up his sleeves, stopping them just before the elbow. "I'LL GIVE YOU NOT SWEET ENOUGH!" Nicholas charged to his gelato card and reached under the desserts, he found a bag of sugar and ran towards Skin.

"NOT SWEET ENOUGH?!" Nicholas ripped open Skin's mouth and began shoveling sugar and stuffing it down his throat. "HOW BOUT NOW!" Skin gargled and flailed as if begging someone to tear Nicholas off.

Constantine calmed Nicholas down after which they resumed their quality family time. Nicholas seemed amazed.

"Tyki... where did you get these 12 sided dice?" Nicholas was fascinated.

Kujaku, perched upon the top of a chandelier, watched the Noahs play poker, before switching to some kind of...

"Boardy Contraptionamabob."

"Yeah! that's the one!"

The akuma hadn't bothered to switch to his human form, Dies had reliably told him that any exorcist would mistake him for a teddybear anyway. Yes, Dies... Kujaku's master had sent him after the Noah while he undertook some training. Kujaku pulled out a small candybar from nowhere, chewing on it, before dropping down straight onto Xavier's head and shifting his ass into a comfortable position.

"HAAAAI XAVIEEEERRRR! <3"

Kujaku squeled with delight as he embedded his sharp claws into the Frenchman's head. He would not be moved. At least, not without severe hairloss on Xavier's part.

He continued to chomp on his candybar, his eyes drifting towards Nicholas' candy cart.

Staring at the Gellato cart, Kujaku's visage took on the expression of a fox who had just been appointed professor of cunning at Oxford University.

"France. You know how retarded those Frenchies are. It's rather interesting to note how stupid they must have been to create something so accurate and precise when they could easily replace it for two 6 sided die, just like how the rest of the world does it. Their excuse was: "We're limiting the chances of a specific number to roll, making it far more risky." Tch! I'll never understand those numbnuts, their intelligence is comparable to that of baboons."

I looked at my senior brother with a sinister glow in my eyes. He was fully aware of my French leniage and how patriotic I am, but decided to diss my people ignoring that. His eyes locked up on mine before the fact struck his mind.

"Oh! You're French too Xavi-"

"RETARDS?! STUPID?! WE ARE THE ADVOCATES OF JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS! THAT WAY THERE'S A 1/18 CHANCE THAT ANY NUMBER WILL APPEAR ON THE DICE!"

Giggles spread across the room upon hearing my uproar, was it something I said?

"WHAT?!"

Even the mentally-challenged Skin knew what was wrong with what I said, he answered with froth overflowing from his mouth.

"It's 1/12 you idiot."

Oh... That's right.

I blushed and sank into my seat as Road climbed up on the table sticking her face to mine and cuddling me like another one of her teddy bears.

"Oh~ Xavier's so cute. He just proved how stupid he is~. Don't you worry dear, Noahs are known to get smarter, ask Skin here, when he first entered this place, he couldn't count past 10."

Constantine butted into the conversation, trying to prove his presence in the group.

"And now he can count up to...?"

Road answered "13!" proudly.

"Hei, you sure you haven't had too much to drink yet?" Jacques questioned the rosy-cheeked exorcist in front of him.

"Not yet..." Hei responded.

How much can he drink?! He has a higher tolerance than anyone I've ever met... Raphael joined in late and he drank less and is out...

Hei had just finished his 14th shot. Jacques was only on his second glass.

"Well, bottoms up~"

Jacques sat and sipped until Hei had finally slurred his speech to the point it was obvious he needed a bed.

Now to find a game... Chess, but I won't play a game of poker with Allen; that's suicide. I should be able to bluff anyone else though~

Tyekanik

01-09-2008, 11:27 PM

"Oi Jacques, go play someone in chess I want to bet money on you, you're like a big shot right?" Down goes shot number 19.

What the other exorcist didn't know is that Hei's innocence cleanses impurities in his body, he could literally drink all night. Not that it was a benefit in this situation, if he stopped drinking for too long he would wind up sober.

"Ah, hang on a bit, I want to see how the card games are going out." Walking to where Jean Allen and Kanda were playing cards, Hei does a one-eighty when he notices the lack of clothing by some.

"I need more to drink if I go over there." Collecting a tray full of whiskey shots, Hei then ambles a bit unsteadily over to the card game.

Jean:

How was I forced into this game?

Jean sat there in front of a snickering Allen, a pissed off Kanda (well more than normal) and a blubbering Krowry. He looked at his hand to find a Three of Hearts, an Ace of Spades, a Six of Diamonds, a Nine of Clubs and a Joker.

"Wait, how did a Joker get into this deck?" Jean asked, even if he didn't know a thing about poker, he knew a Joker wouldn't be played in the game.

"ROYAL FLUSH!!" Allen shouted, as he laughed out louder than any drunk exorcist in the train would be.

Ruth:

A tall blonde woman passed by some exorcist's playing a card game, and lightly chuckled as she was amused by the amount of times grown men were losing to a little silver-haired kid. The woman approached the men crouched down and took her coat off, much to the surprise of all but the silver-haired kid.

"Hi, I'm Ruth. Can I play little man?"

"Now where are those famous wizards that i have heard so much about, I heard that they are somewhere within England and i am going to find them" Dimitri called out startling a few random passerbys.

But to his luck he had been all over the city and no had found no sign of the magical or otherwise, He could never seem to find anyplace he wanted to be

He was about to go stomping throughout the city once again when a short little red head kid no older then ten came running along the path and collided with Dimitri who was not paying much attention himself

"Hay watch where your going" Dimitri yelled but his eyes fell on the staff that the kid was carrying

"I am really sorry" he said

"Are you perhaps a magi, i knew they where here in London" Dimitri called out happily

"I think you are mistaken sir, wales is where all the magical foke lore is and i am no magi, just a teacher and i really must be going" the young kid said in a nervous voice before dashing off

As if on cue a bunch of high school girls rounded the corner and spotting the kid at the end of the block, chased after him all screaming "negi" as they rushed past Dimitri

"Lucky kid, but that means i was off on where i need to be, maybe i can book a vacation to wales next time" Dimitri pouted as he sulked off into the city

As he left all the people around him could be heard whispering something along the lines of "crazy americans" or something like that

Lavi walked on by. "Hi. Seems Allen's kicking you good in cards Kanda."

Jacques left to go sit back down, and he began reading his book. Lavi came and sat down next to a passed-out exorcist.

"Do you play Chess?" Lavi asked.

"Yes, I do..."

"How would you feel about a game?"

Jacques eyebrow rose. "Sure, but just to make it more interesting, you'll pay our tab here if I win. If you win, I'll do whatever you want."

Jacques sat and read his book, turning the page as the game played on.

"It's not very nice. You're focusing on the game a lot. At least show you are."

Jacques put his book down. Tsk.

Swinging around, he made 1 move. "Mate in 3."

Takeshi went around the room, watching people play all kinda of baord games. None of them really interest him, so he decided to watch while he drank his coke.

He saw Jean, Allen and Kanda playing poker. "I heard Allen's a master on poker, maybe I should go and see." With this said, Takeshi walked over where Allen and company were playing.

"Way to go Allen." Takeshi said to him. Allen was the one who had more money out of all of the players, followed by Jean with around half the amount of Allen, and Kanda with very little. Takeshi decided to keep quiet about Kanda's progress ont he game. Making hin anger would lead to a fight, and that would be a problem in such a place.

"Congratulations Allen...you win again...(you little prick)," said Jean as he handed over another piece of his clothing.

Well, that is what he would have said if the new blond woman hadn't won three times in a row. Clearly Allen was in depression after losing in poker for the first time in ages.

Still, the handing over the clothes part still happened.

"Good game little man," the blonder girl clapped as she gave a bright, beaming smile as she began to stand up. "I'd love to see you all lose everything but I have to go and get drunk with this hottie over here," she said as she dragged Jean by his ear towards the bar.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"

"And here i was thinking i could find a magi, I so wanted to fly on a broom stick too" Dimitri pouted

He had been wondering around the city lazily with no specific goal in mind, he supposed the others where off drinking or what not, never being a big fan of the drink himself he figured he would let them be

But in the heart of the city he did find something that did sound like a good way to pass the time, the palms casino. He had not had any fun gambling lastly and it was long due that he needed to play. He walked in and was stopped almost as soon as he walked in the door.

"Sir minors are not allowed in here"

Not even bothering to give the man a passing glance i pulled out my VIP card and his look of shock was written all over his face. The Richardson family was a name know to all even as far over here as london

"Please forgive me sir" the vip tables are this way

Leading me to lush reserved tables that where only for the most high class of guest Dimitri decided to play a little round of poker against one of the other clients in the vip area. Seeing a man in a top hat at an open table, Dimitri came over and threw down a 25,000 $ chip. Time to break some poor sap, he would not even see what was coming

"Mind a game or two sir"

((Ryuzaki we can start our game if you want, Dimitri does not play on some floor XD ))

Ryuzaki

01-10-2008, 01:18 AM

((You're on Dimitri =P))

I looked at the young man who just slapped the $20,000 chip on my table.

"Mind a game or two sir?" The young man asked.

"Well, sure why not? So what game did you have in mind my good man!?" I took up my glass of orange juice a sipped it. "O, I don't drink like..." I peered over to the drunk Exorcists over there, who were obviously having too much fun. "...like them, heh." I watched as they were talking stupidly.

"So, do you know how to play the game Texas Hold'em? It's poker from the west."

"O yeaaahh!! I'll play poker with you mate! I'm a pro at poker for your information!" I took out my deck of card from my pocket and put it on the table "I assume the stakes will be pretty high, good thing I brought some of my cash..." I pull out a chip and slammed a $100,000 chip in front of him. "I'll deal, is that alright with you!?" I smiled at him as I shuffled the cards together.

"Oh someone that actually has a bit class, It is a rare find now a days with all these blowhards throwing around there money and acting like a fool" I commented

"Why thank you, i like to think of myself as a cut above the rest" he smiled back as he dealt the cards.

Looking a look at my pocket cards i was careful not to give the stranger too big of a read, he seemed like the a formative player indeed

Jack 10 offsuit, not a bad hand to start with

Calling his 100K and raising another 50 I looked at the stranger for the first time since i had sat down

"And how rued of me not to introduce myself first, where are my manors, Dimitri Richardson is the name. And what might i call you sir, your face does seem like a new one to these social circles"

The knowing grin he gave me seemed oddly familiar

Jacques finished the game, and Lavi was upset. He was a bookman, one of the finest minds around, and he had been beaten... and it hit his wallet hard.

Walking back towards the back, Jacques sat and watched Dimitri and someone else duke it out. He seemed ever so similar to Constantine, but Jacques thought no more of it.

Dimitri began to lose. Jacques stated, "Dimitri, I'll win you your money back. Just give me a little to bet."

((Ryu, you shouldn't be able to recognize me. My hair ish brown instead of green. :P))

01-10-2008, 02:03 AM

"Dimitri Richardson eh? That sounds pretty familiar too! Were you one of the people working in th docks near Athens!? Whooo, is it a small world!" I took a peak while I was talking to Dimitri, revealing that I had a pair of two's.

"And the name is Constantine, nice to meet you!" I shook his hand and we took another peak to what we had. "I'll call your hand by the way." I threw the 50k chip in the pot.

Folding out three cards, I turned them all over to reveal a three of hearts, a King of spades, and a 3 of spades. "Well, well... your turn my good man. And I must warn you, I don't go easy when we play for high stakes like this."

"Here, take this this time...," said Rexus as he handed another food to Crescent for the 15th time.

"Please... not food again," groaned Crescent. And then he saw a book store. "Let's go there. I want to buy some books."

--------------------------
((sometime later....))

They came out of the store, Crescent carrying a pile of books while Rexus looked bored.

"Oh, a gun-shop!" exclaimed Crescent, smiling. As he enter the shop, the keeper was about to say something, but when he saw the Black Order uniform that Rexus wear, he quickly shut his mouth and stand still. They quickly looked around and quit the shop.

After they did some window shopping (sometimes they bought things too, of course), they decided to go to where Allen and the others were playing poker.

"Wow! They sure are having fun," chuckled Rexus "Ah, a bar!" Rexus went to snatch some liquor for himself ((I myself had never drink a liquor!! I'm an underage!! >< hehehe...)) and offered a bottle of red wine to Crescent.

"Are you mad? Offering this to an underage boy?" asked Crescent.

"Well, I think it's okay if you taste it a little," said Rexus, as he poured the wine to Crescent's mouth.

"UPPHHH!!!" chocked Crescent as he swallow the liquid. Not long, his face became red and fainted.

"Woah! Sure you don't have a high tolerance....," smiled Rexus as he picked up his partner. He made him leaned to him and continued watching the poker game "Heh heh heh, I found his weakness beside his dislike of hot days." He smirked.

Jean:

Jean saw Hei at the other end of the bar and walked up to him, noticing the huge number of glasses on the table.

"Uhh...hey Hei, how's it going?"

"I thought you were getting drunk with that girl over there" Hei replied, chugging another shot.

"She was drunk after one glass, and I didn't have any yet."

Hei snorted and turned to Jean, "Let's make this ride fun. I propose a hand-to-hand brawl!"

"Heh," Jean chuckled, not to let his competitive side down. "You're on."

Ruth:

"Uhhh..."

Ruth woke up and freshened herself after finding herself drool on the table. Quickly she wiped it with shifting eyes hoping no one saw her.

She opened the door to the next carriage to find some more fun, her eye catching a rich looking boy playing cards and gambling.

Ain't he a bit young?

"No thanks," Dimitri replied.

Good thing he didn't say my name. I'm not sure who's around who's recognize me.

Jacques walked out of the parlour, and the doorman closed it behind him.

The Gelato man walked through the bar-area, where several exorcists were drinking.

Jacques stopped for a moment and looked at his eyes. They were a ghostly white. No way... That can't be Nicholas.

A bit startled, Jacques poured the last glass of wine out of the bottle, and went back to the parlour, interested in Dimitri's game with the other gambler.

High Stakes make the game more interesting, but less social.

"What? You can't do that here sir!" the bartender, shocked tried to explain to Hei. Hei's response was to tip the 43 used shot glasses over the bar to distract him.

To keep himself occupied til now he had engaged in drinking competitions, and 6 people one after another had passed out.

Stepping into center of the bar area, Hei and Jean square off.

"Only thing I'm against is low blows." Grins Hei, setting his arms in a standard boxing position. He knew a few different styles of combat, but being very near drunk sticking your arms out in front of you makes the most sense.

"Sounds good." Jean returns the smirk and lunges forward, bringing a feinted left around and following with the right.

Slightly drunk, Hei's response time is off, and he is caught under the chin, reeling back into a table, knocking over several gentlemens drinks ((can be whoever or random people)).

Surging forward, Hei uses his body weight to break through Jeans defense and press him backwards, though Jean not being drunk currently has the advantage, and sidesteps using Hei's momentum to his advantage.

However Hei had planned on this reversal of momentum....partially. Executed properly Jean would have flown over the bar, as things were they crashed into the next room together and landed on top of Dmitri, sprawling him out on his chips and cards.

Yelling indignantly, Dmitri pops up at the wrong time and takes Hei's left jab to his cheek, sending him over onto Constantine. Not missing the opening, Jean brings a right hook into Hei's ribs.

Stumbling back into the bar area, Hei kicks a stool into Jean's path, causing him to pause, during which Hei leaps over the stool tackling Jean back into the poker room.

Exorcists are here... quick.. look blind...

Nicholas trips over several chairs and bumps into several people, all with his hands stretched out in front of him. From the bottom of his throat he spoke from the gutter.

"I'm so sorry... can you help me look for my cane?" He continued to move his hands in front of him hoping people wouldn't notice his perspiring forehead.

"What other fun is there but to play for high stakes" i smiled back at the now reveled to be stranger named Constantine

Frowning a little at recognizing that name from the cocky noah that always seemed to get under his skin so much, he shook it of as coincidence and gave no more though to the subject

Seeing as the flop came down to pair the board i figured i would test the waters to prob at what he might have. If he had a three he was about to find out

Throwing three 50 K chips on the table, a good size raise, if Constantine has something he would call but perhaps he could bluff as to having a 3 and get him to fold

"It is such a small world, but i am not surprised, it seems most places i go there is at least someone there that recognizes me, it does ruin a vacation when you have people hounding you and what not" I sighed

A small commotion behind them caught the two players attention and turning around saw Jacques trying to make his way way back up to the VIP balcony and even though he had turned him away before he felt he could let him come over.

Giving the staff a nod they cleared the way and let Jacques though.

"why dont you come over and join us for a little chat" it would be fun to have you around would you not say so Constantine, dont worry about the money, just take a couple hunderad grand from my account"

So let us continue this game" I said turning back to Constantine but fate would not have it as hei came flying over and crashed into there table and was on the wrong end of one of hei fists

"Constantine...?"

Then that was Nicholas after all... and a few hundred grand? Is this guy insane or loaded?

"Alright. Sure."

Constantine's hands made interesting movements. Jacques eyebrow raised, and Constantine's hands stopped.

Poker shark, eh? I can play his game...

Dimitri and Hei began a brawl behind them. Constantine looked with a strange expression on his face. "It's normal," replied Jacques.

"Let's deal, I want to see how well you bluff."

Constantine:

"Ah, a friend of yours right!? The name is Constantine nice to meet you my good man!" I shook hands with Jacques and peered back at the cards on the table. "Your friend Dimitri here is trying to puch me around with his money, ahaha... O what to do, what to do...." Deciding to call the nad I put in the 50K.

"Okay, here's the next card buddy...." Grabbing the top of the cards I revealed it to be a ten of clubs. "Well, well! That doesn't help much does it!? You're turn!"

Moments later the Exorcists Hei crashed on our little poker part causing us to hault our fun. "Awwww... that's okay mate! We'll continue later then!"

Enishi:

After dashing out of the first class seats, since he has more than enough money to buy them, Enishi stormed into the second and then to the third hoping to get away from the drunken fools causing havoc in the first class part of the train.

"Gosh damn those people! Do they have to be that loud on the train!?" Enishi walked down the aisle and sat next to an old man sleeping and drooling on the window. "And the seats had to taken too, what a pain this damn trip to England is going to be..."

Sitting in front of him, a little blonde hair girl with cute little pig tails in her hair, sitting with her mother turned around to Enishi with a big frown face on her. "You can't say bad words mister!" The girl said to Enishi while sticking out her tongue.

"Bad words!? I didn't say anything little girl, so turn around and lick your lollipop or whatever you have..." Enishi tried to get the girl to stop looking at him by being somewhat cruel.

Sticking out her tongue again she pulled down her lower eye lid and made a goofy face. "You meany! I'm going to tell my mom on you!" She pulled on her mothers shirt and pointed at Enishi who looked in shock. "Mom this guy is being mean to me! Kick his ass off the train!" All of the passengers around us turned at us, looking at Enishi in disgust for making a little girl upset.

"You've got to be kidding me!?! And I'm the one whose cussi-" The mother stood up lifted up her the shirt of her big arm and starred at Enishi. "Your daughter's the pain in the ass lady! So turn around and don't give me that look...!" All the passengers started to boo at all of this, “You people are crazy! I want the hell of this damn train!

Jean:

Jean put his feet up and leaped back up from the floor, brushing off a few cards which was Kanda's hand. Kanda stood up with a more murderous than normal look in his eye as he activated Mugen and pointed the sword at Jean.

"Uhh, sorry Kanda. Goota go, bye!" said Jean as he ran quickly back to the bar to tackle Hei while he was drunkenly apologising to Dimitri.

"Why you," cursed Hei as he kicked Jean as he got up, sending Jean a few inches back to the the bar table.

"Sorry, I'll be needing this," he said to the bartender as he picked up what was to be Hei's next drink and threw it as Hei's face. "How do you like some more of that huh? That's for the chair."

Hei responded with a quick jab to the right, only to be blocked by Jean's left hand. However, Jean failed to respond to Hei's left hook and was hit in the arm. Jean then grabbed Hei and proceeded to throw him over but instead slipped on the drink he threw at Hei's face sending both crashing down to the floor.

"Is it always this loud?" Takeshi asked Allen as he sat down next to him, watching Kanda chasing Jean for making him drop his cards. "Not really , but I guess this isn't so bad, everyone needs some fun every now and then, wouldn't you say, Takeshi-kun?" Allen said to him, getting the cards and shuffling them together.

"What some poker?" "Oh, no thanks, I really dont know how to play." Takeshi said, a bit embarrassed. "I'll teach you, and not only normal poker." Allen said.

""Mmm alright then, I guess, please go eas.." Takeshi was saying as a battle hit him in the head.

"Ouch!, What was that?" Takeshi said looking around, dodging more bottles. It seems the brawl was getting very bad...

"Err Allen-kun, we should probably gee out of here, it's getting a little... nasty." Takeshi said, starting to leave soon followed by Allen.

"Just what is the meaning of this" i yelled at the two that just caused me to have a very sore eye, He hoped he did not get a bruise in the morning from it.

Felling that an order of revenge was in store, he grabbed one of the wine bottles from the counter and had meant to pour the thing on hei for interrupting his game but it seemed that both Hei and Jean had ended up on the floor so both got a dose red wine pored on them

Well it was both of there faults anyways as he ran from a now very angry hei and Jean. Being caught would mean very painful consequences later

As more and more people got involved, it became less of a duel and more a fight for survival. Many random people were now trying to take down the two that started the whole thing.

Ducking a swung bottle, Hei hefts a man over his shoulder and into the bar, shattering several bottles of vodka. Jean is similarly assaulted, leaping backwards from a swung stool.

"AH HA!" Ignoring another impending bottle, Hei spies a chance, and bum rushes Jean again, although Jean throws himself backwards over the bar itself to evade it. Nonplussed, Hei crashes against yet another table spilling more drink and bodies to the floor.

From the floor, Hei kicks the legs out from the nearest person. Climbing to his feet he is a bit surprised to see an aerial Jean, headed his way. Slamming himself back to the floor, Jean goes into the poker room again, knocking Allen into Takeshi.

Soon wine is poured onto the both of them, a common target in sight, both exorcists take off in pursuit of the quandary.

Jean:

"Damn you and your Drunken Master Monkey-baloohah!" cursed Jean as the drunken Hei evaded his punches a little too often, moving like a drugged octopus. Jean attempted a right hook but missed and almost lost his balance, in which Hei pushed him over to a wall. He was about to punch Jean but luckily Jean ducked down and Hei's fist hit the wall.

"OWWW!"

Jean then ran behind Takeshi for cover as both Hei and Kanda was running towards him.

Ruth:

"Need some help there mister?" smiled Ruth as she approached the blind man who stumbled on another chair.

"Oh no thanks, I just need to look for my cane," he muttered as he almost tripped on a bar stool.

"Would this be it?" Ruth asked as she found a wooden cane lying in between two tall bar stools.

The man thanked her and she responded with a smile, making sure to laugh for so the blind man could hear her expression.

"Glad to help. See you around, I have a feeling we may bump ot each other real soon."

"Oh shi..." Takeshi started to say as Jean got behind him, as both Hei and Kanda came for the kill.

Takeshi moved fast, giving a kick to Hei in the gut, before blocking Kanda's sword with his own.

"Hey guys rel..." Takeshi tried to say, but Hei, recovering fast from the earlier kick, came and kicked Takeshi back. Coincidantly it saved him from getting slashed by Kanda.

Allen took both Jean and Takeshi deeper into the train, dodging both Hei and Kanda's attack till they go to a dead end.

"Oh oh, no more room to run, guys." Allen said to Jean and Takeshi. The three of them watched as Hei and Kanda came nearer...

10 of Hearts, 5 of Spades...

Well, Jacques felt it interesting. A Noah and he were playing a card game. Kind of ironic, given their history, but maybe it was worth something more.

Jacques made minimum bets to make it last longer. He wasn't so interested in the money, since it wasn't his, but more interested in getting to know the silent Constantine.

"Check."

"Repeat this to Xavier for me, if you would: Le temps est le plus grand professeur, mais il tue toutes ses pupilles."

Constantine gave him a blank stare.

The 10 of spades showed next. Jacques bid a small amount, and Constantine agreed. The 5 of diamonds was the river card. Jacques clinched his mouth a bit, showing disappointment. Constantine made a slightly larger bid in response. Jacques agreed. They flipped...

"Over here!" said a female voice.

Jean, Takeshi and Allen looked up to find the same blonde girl from before extending her hand from the ceiling.

"Wha- How'd you get there?" said a surprised Jean as he pointed to the familiar girl.

"No time," Allen said as he grabbed her hand and contrasting to her frail looks was able to pull each of them up to safely in the nick of time. As soon as they were safe the woman closed the hole where they came in shut.

It was a beautiful view. The lady sat down and breathed the fresh, fast air as the four of them were above the train carriage. They could still hear the noise, but they were too distracted by the view.

Unlike the train where you could only watch the side through a window, the scenery was a full view.

"I love places like these," the woman softly said. "It just makes you feel so...alive."

"Uhh thanks for saving us," Takeshi replied, "But....how are you sure we're not going to fall off this train?"

"I'm not."

Gabriel sat dejectdedly on the edge of one of the buildings overlooking a busy square...

Everyone else is around and noone's talking to me how typical...

Still at least he was getting a break from all the stupidity and work that his "Family" tended to make him do when he agreed to their crazy plans...Coughing he swore and shivered as he remembered all the snow on top of him...

Last time I take a holiday anywhere where it's below minus

Suddenly from below him he heard a scream followed by several others as a women had noticed him sitting up there...A few minutes later Police cars, An ambulance and a firetruck pulled up into the now rapidly filling square as people josteld with each other to see exactly what the problem was..

Down below one of the policeman holding a megaphone suddenly spoke..

"Sir we understand you might have been having a hard time but I beg you not to jump.."

..Great now they think i'm a jumper

Gabriel thought putting his head in his hands as he saw his day go from bad to worse....

"They're gone." Mutters Hei, regretfully sober again.

"I'm going to slice everyone of them to bits.............." This isn't the time for Hei to mention starting the brawl.

"Well sorry these hooligans interrupted your evening, Kanda. I'll see you around, going to go get some sleep." Cheerily heading off to his compartment, Hei wonders what sort of punishment will await those who return to Kanda's wrath.

01-10-2008, 04:12 AM

Gabriel sat and watched as the fireman climbed slowly up the ladder that was stretched up from the square towards him all the while he was speaking calm words to him..Just as he was about to reach out and grab him Gabriel swung out a leg and kicked the ladder backwards and watched as it first went straight back with the fireman widely scrambling for his balance and then as it slowly went over with a topple and a lot of screams into the crowd..

Looking down he counted at least 7 people with what seemed to be broken bones and the fireman who had landed on an extremely fat lady was now unsteadily getting to his feet and staggering about before falling over onto the concrete..

Several minutes later another 5 Ambulance pulled into the square to treat the injured..

Starting to smile Gabriel glanced to his left and looked the police man who was crawling along the edge towards him a terrifying smile..The man swallowed with an audible Gulp as he looked death in the eyes.

"Oi...." We turned over our cards, Dimitri had a pair of ten's, beating my pair of two's making him the winner of this hand... "Whew! I thought I'd hit something this whole hand but I guess luck was on your side this time!" I grabbed the cards and started to shuffle them again. "How about we play just one more hand? Maybe if you get that friend over there of yours to play, then this game will be just that much more fun." I pointed to Allen and Krory, how had just limped back from the fighting.

"Well I'll be going now, i forgot how stinky the steam from the train can be," the lady said to the exorcists, as she stood up covering her nose trying not to cough.

The clear blue skies were slowly changing into a fiery vermilion, as the sky lit up with its daily show once again. Allen also started to get up and headed back to the compartment, but Jean wouldn't go just yet.

"By the way," the lady shouted from below, "the guy who looked like a girl is gone. So it's safe for you to come down."

Allen went back down into the carriage as soon as he heard Kanda was gone. "I'm getting down while I still can, and locking myself in my room."
Takeshi also started to get up, and said he wanted to go with Allen.

Jean laid back on the metal rooftop. A flock of birds flew over him, shrieking together as one family.

I don't want to go just yet...At least let the others clean up the mess first.

Ruth:

Ruth washed her face as soon as she found a nearby washroom, cleaning her face free from any dust or ashes from the steam. She then walked smiling to her room as she sat down and put on her glasses, staring by the window.

Jacques cut the cards. They were dealt out.

Peeking down, Jacques saw a pair of Kings, Diamonds and Hearts. Constantine, keeping a straight face, looked down. "Your turn to bid, Jacques."

He must have something up his sleeve. His foot's tapping gives it away.

"I'll meet the small blind."

Constantine checked and the cards played out: A, 3, K.

((You'll have something good and kick my butt, I'm guessing.))

Gabriel was giggling as he watched the mayhem below him...So far there were countless numbers of Police cars and a lot of ambulances..Not to mention a big truck had pulled up and army personal were getting out now..

The Firemen had given up about 5 minutes ago and had taken their wounded home with them..

Standing up on the small ledge Gabriel looked down at the Confusion below and laughed again as a man shouted and everyone hit the ground when he moved..

Bowing to the crowd he stepped off the edge and into the Nothingness that was a portal of the Earls.

What turned out to be bad was quite entertaining

Folding over the card on the table in front of Jacques and Dimitri, they looked stunned to see the flop. Three kings, all in a row.

"Wow! Look at that, I haven't seen that kind of flop this year!" I played with the toopick in my mouth grabbed my orange juice and chugged it all. Peaking down at my cards I grinned happily at what I had...

"So, what's your call Dimitri?" I said to him as I placed a 150k in the pot.

"Hey Allen, that guy over there seems quite good." Takeshi mentioned to Allen , pointing to the guy playing with Jaques and Dimitri ((that's you Ryu :p)) as they went back along with Kro-chan, who they found on their way.

"Yeah he seems quite good." Allen said. "Why don't you play him then." Kro-chan said.

"That seems like a good idea," replied Allen, starting to walk over, "let's see if he wants to play.

Takeshi and Kro-chan followed Allen, only planning to watch. After all, they didn't have any money on them.

The foot again, and now the smile. He also talked, which is new.

"Fold."

Constantine's eyebrow went down ever so slightly, in slight regret and question, as Dimitri's turn rounded. Jacques pushed a little money into the pot as he left, taking only what he borrowed from Dimitri.

"I'm going to cash out. Think of what I left in the middle as a present Constantine. Hope you two have fun~" Jacques shouted as he walked off, past Allen, Takeshi and Krory.

The Gelato Seller stood still outside the door. Jacques was writing in his book, and dropped a sheet of paper on Nicholas' cart; walking past and down towards his bed, Nicholas read the note as the sun began to set.

"Konbonwa~ How are you today? You seem to be in a different predicament than the last time we met, but it was nice seeing you again. Hope it goes better for you, Nicholas..."

"Ahh... this is a nice trip~" yawned Rexus as he stretch his body "We can relaxed after all of those missions~"

"Yeah," replied Crescent from his book. Rexus just sweat at his partner. He never left his book, ne??

"Let's look around," said Rexus as he pulled his partner to the outside.

Noticing the uplift in weight I felt when the 8 year old boy chewing on my head left, I looked around for signs of him everywhere. Dies will not be pleased if we lose him.

There he was, under the cart, poking all the little sugar boxes that Nicholas had stocked to make his -now famous- gelato.

"I don't think your uncle's "purpose" from this expedition was to teach how to take care of gluttonous pets, or was it now?"

It was then that I noticed a rather queer area of "land" on top of my head, and by land, I meant hairless. I was too occupied in this retarded game for children that I completely forgot about the little weasel on top of my head.

Standing next to Nicholas, I now too had a debt to repay to that little rascal.

As they are watching Allen and the others playing cards, Crescent suddenly slipped away.

"Huh? Where are you going, Crescent?" asked Rexus as he followed him.

They stopped in the last compartment, where they could see the tracks that had been passed by the train, and nobody was there. Crescent walked to the fence and bended his body to the air in front of him.

"You aren't supposed to be here, little lady," he said.

Rexus just starred his partner, hearing him talked to the 'air' wasn't his experience after knowing his partner for a while. Sure Crescent wasn't mad, he was talking to a ghost, a little girl ghost if his riddle was right.

"What are you doing here with your kitten?" asked Crescent while petting the cat's head. Venus starred with a little hint of jealous in his eyes.

"Waiting for my mommy to pick us up," said the girl "And I think your cat is a bit jealous with my cat." She giggled "But he has that nice wings... I wonder if my cat could have the same things.."

"Sure it can. Even you either," answered Crescent with a smile while patting the girl's head this time "If you both go to the heaven, where you mommy's waiting for you."

"Really? But where is heaven, brother?" asked the girl.

"Could you see the light above you? Then go to that place, your wings would helped you to reach there," Crescent pointed to the sky.

"Ah! Mommy?!! It's mommy!" smiled the girl as she saw to sky. Then she turned her head to Crescent "Thank you very much for your help, brother! Bye-bye!"

A pair of wings appeared on her and her kitten's back and they went to the light above them, where heaven was.

"Is she gone?" asked Rexus to his partner who continued to stare to the sky.

"Yeah," replied Crescent, then he added "Is it really light above there? Did she made it there safely? I couldn't see anything. I just know it's 'light' up there from the first ghost I encounter. I just saw her soul was going up and then disappear."

"Well, the answers for that had to wait until we experience it ourselves," said Rexus, smiling "Let's watch them play cards again."

"Okay..."

After running for a couple of minutes, Rave and Lenalee realized that they were surrounded, as a new Komurin, labeled Komurin XIII, landed in front of them, its black, shiny metal body glinting softly as it aimed its head cannon at Rave, and with a metallic voice said, "Target acknowledged, proceeding with destruction."

Rave managed to just dodge the deadly beam it shot, rolling into an alleyway, and surprisingly found Lenalee on his trail, also running. This was unnatural, normally she'd whack the robot (and her brother) on the head a few times, and send them flying somewhere, all the time wearing a look fitting a killer, not a sweet girl of sixteen.

Since there wasn't time to ask questions now, not with two gigantic robots roaming through the city razing random buildings (apparently Komui hadn't quite gotten the hang of putting a restraint on his machines), Rave simply shrugged and pointed to the street behind the alleyway, which led into a park. Luckily (or unluckily) it was quite empty, so the two of them running wouldn't attract too much attention. Dodging to the side, Rave slid behind a tree, once again closely followed by Lenalee. Komurin X approached over the building - literally - scanning the area where Rave was a moment ago.

Rave suddenly realized that Lenalee was practically pressed to him, and although her dress was a very modest one, he could still feel her cleavage through it. Rolling his eyes to stop the stupid notion, he chanced a look from behind the tree, and seeing Komurin turning the other way, he grabbed Lenalee's arm with his left hand and pulled her away after him.

Through it all, he kept his right hand inside his pocket, hiding the glowing appendage. He was worried about what would Lenalee say, not to mention the obvious fear people would feel seeing it - the story of the devil murderer was already spreading.

They made a crucial mistake though, as Komurin XIII just appeared over the other side of the part and charged. This time, it was Lenalee's turn to help Rave, and she jumped up, using her Innocence, lifting them body easily up into Komurin XIII's head. Rave used the chance and punched the metal monster on the head once, which - as all things with XIII in their name - made it crumble.

By the time Komurin X stopped ravaging the other robot and scanned it for Lenalee or Rave, they were both already quite far, hiding inside a building.

"You know, he won't stop hunting us," said Rave, huffing and puffing. His physical condition wasn't exactly top notch. Lenalee, though, displayed no tiredness at all. Ignoring his question, she peeked outside, then said in a matter of fact tone, "we need food, I'm hungry."

Rave stood up, "I'll go-" before he could finish, though, Lenalee slammed her foot into his chest, sending him sliding back and hitting his back hard against the wall. Worse, his hand slipped out of the pocket, illuminating the dark corridor they were in with its blue and chrome-green glow.

"There," said Lenalee, satisfied and still not quite looking at him. "Now you're going to tell me what that is." Rave sighed. Lenalee. A mystery more than other women. You couldn't figure out her behavior even when she was being nice to you.

"Lenalee-" Rave began, trying to stall for time, but her leg smashed into the wall near his head, sending cracks up the stone. Rave couldn't ignore her pretty legs, despite the fact that he knew it may have been his head bashed into the wall just now. He also noticed that she wasn't wearing stockings. Almost unwillingly, his gaze traveled across her thigh, to her-

He managed to catch himself and put back on his nonchalant mask. "You know Lenalee, you really shouldn't deliver high kicks like that, since physically you are a girl, after all." Lenalee's slender leg moved menacingly in the direction of his head, and Rave decided he didn't want to risk meeting her Dark Boots. "All right!" he said taking her leg in his right arm and removing it from near his head.

He noticed that his right arm seemed to amplify touch, he could feel her smooth skin so well it felt as though plastered to his nerves. Letting go was hard, but he slowly opened his fingers. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about everything."

Lenalee whacked him on the head - with her fist, thankfully - and coolly asked, "what happened, Rave?" Hurt - and surprised that he was - Rave looked at her with a general expression that clearly said he would rather open his wrists than talk.

"Let's just say I was through a little meeting with the Earl."

((What will be Lenalee's reaction? Will Rave score? Or will his desire to let his eyes wander further up her leg remain a secret? Find out more then next time I feel un-lazy enough to post!))

"Uhhh.... Kaaaaaaze, you're still.... plaaaayinggg?" Takai slurred a little, otherwise seemed steady on his feet.

"Yea i am... Hang on," Kaze muttered without looking up at him.

"That's not poker anymoooore," Takai leaned over to take a look.

"Yea, we're playing Hearts-" Kaze said as he smiled evilly and flicked the Queen of Spades onto the stack. "13 points."

"Arughh, whatever..." Takai stared. "I'll go and play too."

Kujaku grabbed as many boxes of sugar as he could, putting them in every discernable crevice on his person. He went round the Gellato cart, stealing anything that looked eatable. Unfortunately for Nicholas, this included the cash register.

Kujaku giggled, tiptoing away after having commited the perfect crime.

That was when he noticed Xavier striding towards him...

Ambling up Londons streets Edrial had a paper in his hand, reading about events taking place in the city. An interesting article about its looking gambling facilities caught his eye.

"No."

Edrial stops and looks to his side. Finding nothing he turns back only to notice that his paper had disappeared. Looking ahead a blonde girl can be seen ripping up a paper and tossing it in the bin.

The girl skips back towards Edrial, a vein throbbing on his forehead. He narrows his eyes at her as she smiles up at him.

"Cynthia-"

"No!" Cynthia's fist embeds itself in Edrials face "No aquisition of gaming facilities today." She pulls her fist out, a smile crossing her face once more. "Our casino has enough enemies as it is. I don't want the English to be added to the list."

"Our casino? Nevermind, but I wasn't-"

"You were gunna bankrupt them and then buy them back in exchange for taking your name and creating another link in the chain. I know how you work mister!"

Edrial sighs, the two continuing to walk up the street. Cynthia places her hands on her hips and begins to look around.

"Now where was that place?" She says, thinking out loud.

"You know what would be fun, gambling."

"No, we're going to a new amusment park that just opened."

"Like hell I am. I'm a respected gaming figure, I can't be seen on merry-go-rounds or roller coasters."

"Oh you are so full of it. You and your gambling. It's a wonder you-" Cynthia's eyes widen when she sees a vendor selling ice cream. "Some ice cream will cheer you up."

"Of course it will."

"How many scoops do you want?"

"Get me two would you."

"Sure thing!" Cynthia walks up to the vendor and starts pointing at various flavors. Edrial can hear the number of scoops and hears a number in the twenty region.

"Not a chance."

Edrial looks side to side and then steps aside a little. Looking again he takes two more steps and vanishes up the street. Cynthia turns around with two ice cream cones, one like the leaning tower of piza.

"Here you g-"

She doesn't see Edrial anywhere along the street. She crushes his cone in her hand and starts shouting.

"Wait until I get my hands on you you bastard!!!"

Hiro let out a deep sigh, they have been around for a couple hours already and still he found no-one that he knows as he walked about he heard some people outside the casino talk about what was happening.

"Wow those exorcists sure can gamble...they put up a lot of money!"

Hiro's brain switched back on as he heard this, he pulled his brother who was currently eating some sweets into the casino.

"Wow Hiro-chaan! I didn't know you liked to gamble!" Said Keisuke quickly since he was hyper from all the sugar since they arrived he ate an ice cream, a lollipop, another ice cream, some chocolate and now some sweets.

"We're here to find some friends..." Hiro said, he hadn't eaten as much as Keisuke and was feeling fine.

Hiro saw Kaze sitting at a table and seemed to be playing Hearts, he walked over and tapped him on his shoulder.

"Yo...Didn't know you gambled."

Enishi:

"Damn that woman, her kid and those miserable people...!" Enishi stormed through each of the rooms trying to find a suitable seat for him.

"Mmm, excuse me sir, you can't come this way, these seats are reserved for the VIP only..." One of the guards said to Enishi with a cold look on his face.

"VIP!? I am VIP!" Enishi put up his ticket in front of the man's face showing proof that he did belong here. "Now get the hell out of my way or I'll have you fired immediately!" He shoved the guard to side and entered in the closest room that had a seat.

"I can still hear those drunks too..." He said to the middle aged lady who was looking outside admiring the view. "Well, it's far better being here than where those crazy lunatics are at..."

"The Earl?" Lenalee stepped back, surprised. "What do you... mean?" Rave seemed angry, for a second. He lifted his right hand - she didn't tell him how warm it felt on her leg - and looked at it.

"When I was sent to the mission in Lebanon," he began slowly, "I decided to fight a Noah named Xavier." Lenalee stared at him in sheer horror after those words. Only Generals dared take on the Noah.

"I lost." His voice wasn't defeated, or angry. Just stating a fact about himself. Lenale thought she'd never heard proud Rave admit losing, or look so... vulnerable.

"Lost? A-And?"

"I tried one last, desperate move..." Lenalee took in a subtle breath, as suddenly the arm glowed soft blue, imparting images into her mind.

Rave was being choked by Noah, and knew, right now, that he was going to die fighting. But he had to continue attacking, compelled by his stubborn pride. He made the Innocence bury itself in his hand, and then attack the Noah, sacrificing his right arm in the process.

Lenalee felt it keenly, as though it was her own arm shredded by the might Innocence. Rave continued talking, obviously relived that he could tell it to someone, anyone, and the arm continued to glow, showing her the images again and letting her feel the emotions.

He was just barely conscious when he was brought into the wide, bright room. A table in the middle was lit with many candles. In his delirium, he barely noticed that the table had straps on either side, and that there were many various instruments strewn on the floor, most of them what one would expect to find in a surgeon's laboratory.

He also missed the red pool on the floor and table. Blood.

Lenalee took another deep breath and stared at Rave. She could just barely imagine the pain. He, for his part, stopped talking and looked up to her.

"What's wrong, Lenalee?" His tone changed, becoming a soft whisper, but still very deep, enough to carry. The buzz of the city seemed to dim, and Lenalee just stared. She realized that he understood her now better than any ever could.

"Lenalee," he said, and when he said her name, she suddenly remembered the time he kissed her - true, he did it to shut her up, but it still felt like an electric shock up her spine and through her lips. The name had a similar effect. She barely heard his next suggestion that they take a stroll up the street and find a place to sit down and drink something. Maybe even eat something.

"Yeah, sure," she replied, still in a slight daze. Rave, for his part, seemed also lost in thought.

Just as they exited the building - they were, in fact, inside just the hallway of a building - Komurin X appeared from around the corner, apparently damaged. Lenalee prepared to run - or attack - but Rave, absent-minded and lost in thought, didn't notice as the metallic arm grabbed him, so Lenalee jumped to his rescue.

But without even looking, Rave smashed his right arm into Komurin's camera, disabling it. Luckily, there were no people in the streets - they ran away from the "monster" - so no one saw his arm glow chrome-green and apparently deliver much more damage than any human should have been able to.

Well, no one except Komui and Reever and the rest of the Science Dept., who were intrigued by - and scared of - the implications that this new development harbored.

Of course, seeing his beloved Komurin destroyed and Lenalee apparently tending to Rave - she held hands with him! - so he ran forward, screaming something about the purity and something else.

Lenalee, this time very typically, smashed her Dark Boots into his head, sending him flying as far away as only Komui could.

"Rave?" She said shyly, her had still in his. He shook from his thoughts suddenly and smiled warmly at her.

"Yes?"

"Let's go, to, um, eat?"

"Sure," he replied, and then added, "Lenalee? Call me Raven."

((I'll go meet you Shirou, somehow... lol))

Chris:

"London sure does have a lot of tall buildings!" Chris looked up into the sky admiring the whole view. "Now that I'm here I should go have a little.... fun..." He trotted down the road in his old clothes that he has been wearing from the snow up in Switzerland. "Constantine-sama did tell me to go to this Casino though... he said they should have good slot machines and maybe black jack tables..."

He continued down the road until seeing the casino that was mentioned to him by his master Constantine. "Tch, there it is I guess... time to head in and take their cash... I mean... win their cash...?"

Entering the sliding doors, he spotted the first 7's slot machines and headed over there to see what it could offer. After a few times of pulling down the slot machine handle, Chris finally won on the fifth try, winning all the money back he lost. "This is pretty cool I guess... I think it's about time to switch machines though, this one doesn't feel like it has any more luck.."

Chris sat down next to a couple guys who seemed to look like brothers. "Haven't I seen them before somewhere? Meh, it must be my imagination..." He faced the two brothers and asked them, "Hey do you guys know of any good machines or tables around this place by any chance?"

Xavier:

"You little twerp!"

I yelled, just before I jumped in head-first towards the gluttonous akuma, who despite his puny appearance was rather agile. He jumped away at the last second, making me knock Nicholas's cart off and sending the gelato and sugar down at me. I made a cold, sweet, yet a mysteriously majestic mess out of myself chasing an akuma whose age was not over 8 in years. Realizing how much of a fool I made out of myself, I decided that I might as well have fun doing it. Smiling at the slippery thief, I ran towards him, out of the restaurant/bar and into a series of alleys.

There -in one of those alleys- I happened to meet the ever infamous exorcist, Rave, walking around with a girl who was clearly much younger than he was. The couple seemed to be nudging each other intimately, waiting for one of them to take the initiative. Rave closed in towards the girl's innocent tender lips, ready to kiss her. Every hair on my body stood up at the indecency that Rave was about to portray in public, let alone kissing a minor. Reacting to such a low crime, I grabbed some of the gelato covering my coat and threw it right between the couple, scraping their noses in a shade of white.

"Gelato! Have some while it's FRESH!"

Throwing another scoop that I scavenged over my attire, I hit Rave's face with amazing precision. The scoop spread itself across his face covering his composure completely.

"Don't lick it, doggie. It tastes bitter without sugar, now if you'll excuse me, I have a monkey to catch."

The 8 year old kid ran across the street that the alley I was in overlooked. Following him like a bull in a ring, I chased the akuma into a road block where had no escape.

Kujaku kept running, realizing that Xavier just would not give up. It was time to use cunning.

As Kujaku ran into the road block, he pretended to have hit his head, falling flat on his back on the floor. To Xavier, it would seem as though he was unconcious. However, when Xavier came near, Kujaku's fist was ready to spring upwards into any reproductive organs that might be in the way at said time.

"The train will come to a halt in 5 minutes."

Finally, I can get some sleep with this crowd...

Jacques sipped his wine. Kanda walked in, shirtless; "What are you doing trash?"

Jacques replied, "Enjoying a few minutes of relaxation."

"Get out of my sight." Jacques responded by just laying there, reading a book and sipping his wine.

Kanda slowly got angrier after losing the game. Apparently, he didn't want anyone to see him like this.

The train began to brake.

((Z, YOU!))

After the restaurant scene ((this will come later, too lazy to write))

Rave was just about to kiss Lenalee, when suddenly he heard a very familiar voice and a piece Gelato hit him square in the face. Growling at Xavier, he wiped his face quickly and, stifling a frown at the giggling Lenalee - he didn't want to ruin his chances with her - ran after Xavier. Lenalee followed, still giggling, after him.

He quickly caught up with the tall Frenchman and picked up a rotten tomato from a nearby stall. The seller, busy with someone else, didn't even notice.

He threw it, and amazingly hit Xavier dead straight in the back of the head, the tomato exploded on his head, spluttering Xavier with rotten tomato juice.

"Don't EVER get in my way when I'm about to... you know!"

Turning, he found Lenalee all but bursting from giggles and sighing, said "Let's go get us a room somewhere... we can finish storytelling there."

He hadn't even realized how his offer sounded until Lenalee blushed deep red. Doing a very obvious facepalm, he motioned for her to follow.

Looking outside, Jacques noticed Lenalee in tow of Rave. Feeling a bit warm himself now, he lept out of the train window. "Where are you going, trash?"

Still holding a bottle or two, he wandered off towards the two, both of whom were blushing. They were holding hands, walking towards the hotel in town. Before Komui kills him, let's interr... Jacques, falling off balance, bounced off of someone chasing a little kid.

They were about to walk inside when Jacques poked his head through. I'm really glad alcohol doesn't affect my brain so much. Yay for my eye. Slows my nerves from the neck down though. "How're you two?" Jacques said to the rosy-cheeked Lenalee and Rave.

"He's drunk."

"And... Well, Winston would have something to say about that if you weren't pretty," Jacques retorted. Lenalee giggled.

Raphael:

Awake as a result of a loud crash in the background, Raphael realized that he slept after drinking out of the bottle he grabbed so hard. Looking at the label and smelling the remaining liquid, Raphael finally caught up to the fact that it wasn't alcohol that he was drunk on.

"If Lavi hears about this, I'll be the subject of his jokes for the next century. The Cardinal will spread on the tale of the Bookman who failed to get drunk. Oh dear God, why am I cursed with these people around me?"

Shortly after that, I saw Lavi come back into the bar, completely drunk and staggering like a Scotsman on Saint Patrick's day. He swung in so happy with a bottle of red wine in his hand and mentioned something about a man chasing a kid outside. Slightly intrigued by what he said, I decided to explore out for myself; unknowingly however, Lavi slyly poured some of his wine into my bottle intoxicating the liquid that I so feverously drank from the mouth of the bottle. Shortly thereafter, I found myself next to Jacques singing some of the good ol' nursery rhymes we were being taught when we were kids at the top of our lungs, right when the sun shined the most -noon-.

"ROW! ROW! ROW! YOUR BOAT! GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM~! PICK IT UP JACQUES! HI~~ LENALEEEEEEEEEE! WHAT'S UP BIRDY?!"

An old woman peeking from a window nearby threw an old flower pot at us, that scarcely missed its mark.

"You drunken bastards! It's 2 in the afternoon!"
