| Alizabe: "H-Hey! Don't worry about me, I had Dracoon there with me my entire life! I haven't had many hardships and have lived a pretty fun life!"
Alizabe smiled, remembering a lot of the happy times. Camping with Dracoon when she was young, running away from monsters, coming to the city for the first time, running away from muggers, going into a ranch, running away from bulls, come to think of it, she did a lot of running. Alizabe: "I don't really have much of a reason for entering the tournament I guess... I've practiced forging simple things for a long time, my cesti are my first real weapons. Dracoon told me to enter so I entered." Dracoon looked up at Alizabe, then relaxed back down. Alizabe: "But if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a shower!" Alizabe waited for Dracoon to get off, and then grabbed a clean change of clothes and headed for the bathroom. Dracoon: "She has met her mother. She was abandoned by her mother because of my appearence. The mithra are supersitious and me being her guardian made them think she was a demon. Through my methods I was able to get her free, but the Sin Hunters wouldn't let her go. Her mother was the leader of the Sin Hunters..." Dracoon looked away from Sukasa. Dracoon: "Alizabe was once increadibly talented. She could forge weapons of incredible power for her experience. When we ran into a Sin Hunter, or more appropriately, her mother. Her mother sealed my powers and then tried to kill Alizabe, Alizabe's will to live eventually gave her the strength to kill her, but with her mother's last breath, she cursed Alizabe with the knowledge of who she killed." Dracoon could only go on. Dracoon: "Alizabe blamed herself and tried to kill herself. I stopped her and erased the memories that brought her to meet her mother. She lost all the progress she gained on being a Craft Knight. I will never be able to tell her what she was forced to do, or she'll try to kill herself again. If I restore the memories, for a few days she'll be that same thirteen year old who was forced to kill her own blood... Alizabe has a bad chapter in her true life, but I've made sure to make it up to her by raising her to live a great life outside of that one chapter." |

| "Ah. I... I don't really know what to say, though. From what you're telling me... I certainly can't blame you or Alizabe in the slightest... " Sukasa looked down. "I can't really understand that though- the way Alizabe was treated. That's really the first time I've ever heard of someone being treated that way, simply because of superstition... Though I have to admit, you certainly have done a good job of making her happy, judging by that smile, as it seemed pretty darn sincere to me..." Sukasa paused, yawning.
"I've only known Luminara for a couple of months now... I really did mostly just live on my own before that. I can't say though, that you needed to 'make it up' to Alizabe- you can't change your appearance, nor can you control the actions of others. That's... That's why I can't really blame myself for what happened nine years ago." Slouching down in his chair, Sukasa finished off his noodles. "I suppose I've sorta lived a secluded lifestyle, since I taught myself a lot of what I know. I don't regret it though. Anyways, thank you for trusting me enough to tell me the truth. I promise, I won't speak a word of this to anyone." Taking a breath, Sukasa changed his facial exp "You must be proud of her, though. From a position on the outside looking in, I can say that she is definitely very happy." |

| Dracoon: "I would be proud if it wasn't my fault that this all happened."
Dracoon relaxed on the couch, waiting for Alizabe to get back. Dracoon: "This isn't a punishment for my mistakes though, I'm happy that I can make sure Alizabe has a happy life." Dracoon fell silent, not wanting to talk anymore. After a few minutes Alizabe came out of the bathroom in pajamas, walking slowly and holding onto the wall so she wouldn't fall down. Dracoon hovered in the air as Alizabe sat down and landed on her lap. Alizabe took her mail and opened it. Alizabe: "Eight days, 4th bracket... Good, that means we can't get scheduled to fight!" Alizabe half laughed as she fell back against the couch and pulled the blanket up, hardly giving Dracoon time enough to get away from being caught under it. |

| You goof, it ISN'T! Thought Sukasa to himself. YOU weren't the one who tried to kill her, after all.
That's when Alizabe walked back into the room. Not betraying a hint of knowledge as to what Dracoon had told him, Sukasa smiled at Alizabe. "that's good- You'll have plenty of time to get ready. Frankly, I think that's better than having to fight tomorrow, especially with what happened this morning.. . Jeez, I can't believe it only happened this morning. Anyways, before you ge too comfortable, do you want to sleep on the couch, or use the second bedroom here? This was the only available condo here, and a friend of mine put in a good word for me to get it. Anyways, it's more designed for two parents and a child, so there's another bed in it's own room, if you want that one instead. It's the room nex tot this one, behind the closed door." Sukasa got up, and placed his bowl in the sink, filling it with water before coming back to the chair and sitting down again. "Anyways.. You told me why you're here, sort of, so I think it owuld be fair for me to tell you why I'M here. Really, I had the summer off from school, and it turned out this tournament was going on. I never really came here to win, just to see how far I could go while having fun. I gues the biggest thign I wanted to do, though, was just make a friend or two. That's probably the biggest reason why I came here." |

| Mikami was heading back to her room, a sack full of materials in hand.
Sasami: Hey, Mikami, check out this spear I just made! 
Mikami: Pretty good. Taro: Is everyone else still in the labyrinth? Mikami: *shrug* I guess so. Draco: Those guys are too active to keep up with.  There's no way I'm going to try to read and make sense of all that stuff.
Taro: Wha...? Jack: Don't concern yourself too much with what my brother says. He has very little sense of the fourth wall
Taro: The what? Jack: ..... Never mind. |

((If you didn't get my PM, Insert Coin, it's okay  ))
((And Sukasa, I don't mind. Heck, I only know about like... five countries that exist in this world ))
Lily wandered about Wystern even more. She was shocked at how hard it was to find Max's shop. But.. she might've found the right place.. Lily: This has got to be it. My treasure hunter's sense can't let me down! Pommy, go knock on the door. Pommy: ... Kupo!? Lily: Okay okay, I'll do it, ya scaredy cat. --------------------------- Arminas sat in his room, staring at what was now his first sword. Spekkio: It ain't much to look at. Arminas: But it's mine, eh? Ah, it was great.. I think I can sleep well tonight... Actually.. no.. Something's bothering me.. Spekkio: You're kidding, right? You just got yourself a nice home.. And you even created something for yourself, and something is still bothering you? Arminas: Something's always bothering me, Spekkio. It's just that it's bothering me more than usual. I made my peace with that Clara girl. Spekkio: Sounded more just a random conversation. Arminas: She wasn't being mean to me, though.  And that other girl... ahh.. Mikami. I think I might've insulted her and I don't even know why.
Spekkio: Arminas, I'm telling you. You need to keep your distance, or you'll get your head lopped off. Arminas: I just don't want to start off meeting new people, and having them being so antagonistic towards me, okay? I know I everyone isn't gonna accept at once, but I'd like not having every new person hating me. Arminas snorted as he got up from his bed. Spekkio: Where are you going? Arminas: Out for a walk. Maybe I'll get a chance to say sorry to her. |

| Alizabe: "Well" yawn "you at least accomplished one of those..."
Alizabe drifted off to sleep before she could finish the statement. Dracoon: "Tomorrow she should have more energy, I'm going to go study so keep an eye on her." Dracoon softly lifted off of Alizabe's lap and flew to the door, awkwardly opened it, and left. Alizabe's dream welcomed her almost instantly. She watched as Dracoon finished his spin, sending a wounded dragon lord falling towards the ground. Dracoon chased after the dragon lord, dive bombing. Before he could get there, three other dragon lords flew under him and rays of light engufled Dracoon. Dragon Lord: "With the light of the dragon families, we will seal you eternally as a spirit to drift between the worlds!" Dracoon: "You won't take me so easily!" Dracoon kept up the dive bomb and crashed through the forming seal, he opened his mouth and a blast of fire shot out, engulfing the three dragon lords and quickly heading for the one that still fell. Falling Dragon Lord: "Seal of Spirits: Lock!" A black circled appeared of Dracoon, followed by a white, red, green, and finally blue one. Dracoon vanished into nothing as the seals locked, Alizabe's dream faded, and she slept peacefully. |

| Sukasa sat stunned by Alizabe's words, as process of elimanation had left only one possibility for what she seemed to be talkign about. She already considers me a friend..? In a slightly detached state, Sukasa quietly got up, and padded off to his bedroom. Waking Luminara up, Sukasa watched as she left, presumably to go wherever she slept, closed the door, and eventually settled into a quiet sleep.

Denn greeted the guard at the entrance. He saluted back. Denn: So, how are the contestants doing? Guard: Well, at the moment, the competition is kinda stoppped. Denn: Sstopped? Guard: The levels of the dungeons have been collapsing and some really dangerous monsters came from the lower levels. In fact there was a dragon in there. A huge un`! It came crashin through and almost got at the highest parts of dat dungeon. Denn: Iss it still there? Did anyone get hurt? Guard: Dats the weird part. When our specialist got inside, they found it dead. They had to do some cleaning with that baby. Denn: Cleaning? Guard: It was torn apart. Literally. And dat smells right now. Dont know what caused it, dont care to see it. An ill stench floated from the dungeons door. Denn coughed. It was really horrible and he felt a little sorry for the guards. Had to stand there whole day and now there was this smell. Denn: Oh, I have one quesstion for you. I got this key, do you know anything about it? Denn pulled the key out of his pocket. The guard seemed a little puzzled. Guard: Didnt you listen in dere? Were you asleep or sumthing? Denn: Wh-what? Guard: Thats the dungeon key! The tournament key! You shouldve know dat! Denn: Huh? Guard: That means you have entered the tournament! Did you have some dirt in yier ears or did you lose your memory?! Denn watched the little key and thoughts flew through his mind. He smiled. An opportunity! Denn: OHHHhhh! Sorry I forgot the whole tournament! 
Guard: Are yie really a apprentice? 
Denn: O-o-of course I am! The guard looked Denn and sighed. 
Guard: All righty. But we cant let you in. First, you have no weapon. Second, theyre still cleaning the mess. Third, your guardian is missing. Get those first. Denn: Okay... Denn turned away from the guard and started moving towards his inn. As he had disappeared from the guards sight. he jumped high and laughed. Finally luck had smiled on him. |

Pedro : I'm sorry, Max's Design and Repair is closed for the ni... ohhh! Max! Lily's come to visit us! Max : ...er, well, just don't stand there, invite them in... just make sure to crou- The armor spun around, smashing another gap in the doorframe directly next to the other one. |

Pommy: Kupo.. ;
Lily smiled as she stepped inside. Lily: Wow, Maxy. This place don't look bad at all! How long have you had it? Don't touch anything, Pommy. Kupo: ... Kupo
Lily: Don't give me that look. I'm not going to yoink anything.
------------------------- Meanwhile, Arminas slowly walked across the walkways, staring at his brand new sword. Arminas: Hey.. maybe I should try this out... He gripped the sword's hilt with both of his hands, and began swinging it around. Instead of slashing at the air wildly, he actually tried to figure out which method of swinging felt more comfortable. Arminas: I've never used a sword before.. but.. something is telling me that this thing is flimsy.. There was a loud clap of thunder that nearly startled Arminas off the walkway. He looked towards the Central Tower and sighed. It does not look like he was going to sneak off into the labryinth. Arminas: Ugh.. The rain.. |

| Alizabe's dream didn't stop and she finally had it conclude.
As Dracoon was sealed and his powers were stripped, he was called into the other world to be a guardian, a small child had just been become a craft knight. The small mithran child was excited as Dracoon formed in the air, the eyes on the beast opening up wide as it suddenly found a source of pure power. Dracoon couldn't control himself, as he was nothing but a beast, and sucked the child's life into himself, breaking the seal temporarily. Mithran Mother: "My child!? What's happening to my child!?" The mithra fell to the ground, dead, as Dracoon grew outragiously powerful. Energy expanded from Dracoon's body, splitting through the mithran village, ripping down anything in its way. Dracoon's energy collapsed back on him and the seal reformed. Alizabe woke up startled, but didn't say a word, quickly realizing that it was only a dream. Slowly she drifted back to sleep, this time uninterupted. |

| Max : Me? I've only been here a few months... I moved here from a town out in the boonies called Palm Brinks. Once I heard about the labyrinth that existed here, and how dangerous it supposedly was, I was sure that I could get into it and harvest materials I could stockpile for more of my experiments, so I packed up shop and slapped myself here. Though, I didn't know about the entire deal with the Craftknights at the time so I was locked out. Still, this place is big on the manufacture and repair of weapons, so I've been able to rake in some dough. When this armor got brought in to my shop... well, that you've heard already. Nowdays I just prowl around the upper levels of the maze, but I hope to upgrade my weapons enough to head down into the depths.
Pedro : We need those materials! We're gonna build a machine to return t- The golem hopped back as it noticed Max glaring daggers at it. Pedro : ...to r-return... peoples'... socks! Yes! Socks, mortal beings have this problem with losing socks all the time! We believe that if we can figure out where these socks disappear to we can greatly improve the standard of living of Wystern, and we... Max : (That was horrible...)

| There was a pretty dull look on Lily as Pedro nervously finished the story. She took a few steps around, eyeing a few random trinkets Max had laying around.
Lily: Really, now. I'd love to say something like that's the most absurd thing, but there really has been an outbreak of missing socks here... So.. I'll believe ya.
Pommy: Kupo! Lily: Huh? Before Pommy responded, thunder roared on outside, slightly shaking the building. Lily: Darnit, and I had just found this place.. Hey, Maxy. You got an umbrella I can borrow? I promise to bring it back tomorrow. |

| Denn swiftly runned to the inn doors. His footsteps splashed in the pools of water. The rain drops slipped at his skin. He knocked and the owner opened the door.
Owner: Come inside, will ya? Yier catch a cold. Denn thanked him and stepped inside. After warming awhile at the fireplace, he walked the stairs up and went to his room. Lippit was standing in the table and straightening her feathers. Denn smiled at her. Lippit: Whats so funny? You won at the lottery? Denn: Better! Let me tell you! Denn explained everything to Lippit, the tournament, the key and the dungeon. Lippit looked him. She was shocked. Lippit: But you are under a punishment! You cant enter the tournament! And it says in the law that: "Thou shalt not make weapons..." Denn: "...for anyone but thyself." That means I can make my own one! And youre my guardian! You must come too! Lippit: I dunno. It sounds dangerous. Denn smiled at her. She flew to the ground and started morphing. First she looked like half of a bird, half of a human, but in the end, she looked like a beautiful young lady. She was rather slim, but still maintained her female curves. Her body was coated with feathers and two small horns pointed out of her head. She smiled. Lippit: But I like danger! When we will go? Denn: Later, lets get some rest now and ready our sstuff. (edited by INSERT COIN on 10-04-06 08:36 AM) |

Random pieces of oiled clothing and tools were already flying out of an open door downstairs, and eventually Pedro stuck its head out again. Pedro : I never knew you had these many suspenders! Max : Bleh... there should be a floormat on the second shelf, grab that and toss it up here. Max caught a table-sized black rubber pad as it flew over the banister on the upper floor. He quickly unrolled it, and grabbed a broom near the casher. He jabbed the top end down into the center, and clapped his hands together. Light quickly consumed him and the shaft of the broom decreased in length - a framework of wood had grown across the pad, consuming some of the broom's matter. Max held what remained of the stick up, now firmly grafted onto the floppy oilproof panel. Max : Will this do? |

| Both Lily and Pommy stood with their mouths agape. The moogle eventually regained enough of himself to slowly go into a clap, while the lilty continued to stare.
Lily: Whoooaa! Maxy, that was.. amazing! Are.. are you.. Maxy, are you a Craftlord or something? Lily was still in shock, not even approaching Max's MacGyver-brand umbrella. There was a slight bit of crimson running across Lily's face. Lily: How would you give a present to someone like this!? -------------------- Arminas opened the front door of the Silver Guild. He was pretty much drenched from head to toe. The path he took to return gave him the thickest patch of rain, apparently. Random Kid: Whoa, look at what the cat dragged in! Arminas shot the peanut gallery a rather dull look. The group of kids hanging by the entrance realized who stepped in and became quiet. Arminas slowly removed his jacket and bandana as he slowly walked towards the stairs. Arminas: … Cat… Of course.. |

| Max : Craftlord? Bleh, no, I couldn't dream of pulling off the smithing stunts they do...
Pedro : Max calls this al-chem-ee! He throws his hands together like this... *clap* And boom! He swaps around the stuff in something to make something else! Max : My mentor back home, Gerald... he taught me this little bit of magic to speed up menial repairs... I can rearrange matter, but only crudely, and I still have to know exactly what goes where, so I can't make anything terribly complicated with it... right now all I can whip up are dumb little trinkets like this; actually using it on crafted weapons, or any actual machine for that matter, is way out of my league... for now. And I'd probably be chased out of this town like some heretic if I did it for just anyone. Pedro : It's coming apart... Max : The wooden webbing's already becoming unstable. Your "umbrella" will probably only be good for tonight... don't get the insides wet. |
