OK, this RP is just for me and Chris, sorry Reno!
Mirray wlked down a flight of stars. Her bright red hair was shinning in the sun on that beautiful spring day. He looked up at the glass dome that was overhead, looking at the white doves flying by. SHe had just gotten out of her last class and decided to take a walk around the school grounds of Balamb. She lived in a city called TriBalamb. The name came from the garden that landed here, called Balamb and the Tri came from the city that was built around the no longer capable to fly garden. There were three main secters in the town where people could have pubic meetings and the market people could sell their goods.
Mirray attended Balamb school in hopes to be a Balamb SeeD, meaning that she could venture outside the Balamb gates. he's never been out of TriBalamb in her life. It was dangerous out beyond Tribalamb due to all the Heartless. She sighed and continued walking till she saw irvine talking to some girls. she frowned and walked up to him and kicked him in the knee. "AHHH!" he grabbed his knee and looked up at her. "what's your problem!" the girls giggled and walked away. Mirray glared at irvine. "what's my problem? What's your problem?" she blew him off by giveing him the cold shoulder and started walking away.

ooc: do not fear, for i am hear!!  hi love.  as Dac strolled into TriBalamb, he thought about how ignorant these people were. these fools will get a rude awakening someday. he laughed to himself. not at all oblivious to the fact that every single person that could see him, was staring at him in distaste. someone spoke up from the silenced crowd. "get away from here!! we don't want you stirring up trouble!!" he yelled as he threw a rock at him. Dac deflected the rock without missing a step. everyone seemed to follow the fool's example and picked up rocks. Dac lifted the staff he was carrying up to his shoulders, making sure everyone caught his meaning. they didn't bother him further. but continued to watch him. he made his way to a pub and took a seat at the bar. he ordered a scotch and searched the room for a likely candidate for his need.ooc: the staff he carries is really a scythe. but the blade materializes only when needed. without the blade, it looks more like a small axe blade at the end of the staff. |

Mirray ignored Irvines tries to have a relationship. She could bother wasteing her time with him anymore. Hse walked to the fisrt sector of TriBalamb and walked to the pub. when she opened the door, she saw all those "lovely" people. she rolled her eyes and put on a aprin. He walked to the back and placed her books down. Her boss was working at the counted and then he looked at her. "Mirray, my dear, please take this gentelmans order." he rolled his eyes and went out back. he glared at the man and walked up to him. "what would you like?"

Dac looked up at the waitress. she was pretty. her long, red hair glowed brightly in the dim light of the pub. tall too. almost as tall as him and he was tall even for a man. but then again, everyone was pretty here. he himself was a bit too rugged. or so the girls say. he never paid attention to what anyone else said anyway. "scotch on the rocks. and leave the bottle here." he turned around again to make sure that he hadn't missed anyone.

She walked over to a shalf and brough the man a scotch. He didn't seem at place here. he must be new. Then irvine came through the door and the small bell rang. Mirray frowned and glared at him. he walked over to the bar. "Mirray! that was uncalled for." HSe ignored him and turned her back to serve another man. Irvine slammed his hand sown on the table and Mirray looked back. irvine was quite pissed. "Damnit, don't ignore me like that. For god sake, i'm your boyfriend, Mirray." she turned again and ignored him. he then walked over and into the bar. he grabbed Mirray's hand and oulled her to the back of the pub. "Listen Mirray, i didn't mean to hurt you feelings. I was just talking." She frowned and pulled away from him. "Talking? Really? why do I doubt that?" "C'mon, Mirray. You..." She slapped him across the face. "Irvine Kinneas, we are through. this has happened way to many times and i won't go through it again. I don't care if you'll be Mayor when you are older. Just stay out of my life." with that, she walked back inside and closed the door behind her, locking it so he wouldn't be able to follow. She walked back to the bar and started to take orders again.

Dac watched the waitress get dragged into the back room. he decided he would ignore it and got back to his drink. Dac looked to the left and saw a stack of books he new to be study material for a Balamb SeeD. a few minutes later, she returned without her would-be lover and locked the door behind her. Dac noticed the door shaking with the impact of a fist and chuckled to himself. he took a few more drinks and sat for a long while. unavoidably aware of the dozens of eyes burning into his back. he ignored them and turned to the waitress again. "so, Mirray! you tryin to become a Balamb SeeD, huh? interested in the outside world or the thrill?" he smiled to cover the more than slightly cynical tone to the last question.

Mirray smiled and nooded. "Yes, a Balamb SeeD. I'd love to be one. I'm intersested in what's out there." he picked up some of the dirty glasses and picked up some tips, placing them in her pocket. "I'm interested in both the outside and thrill. I've been liveing in Tri Balamb for all my life and you can't leave her unless you are a Balamb SeeD." she sighed and washed two glasses. She looked up and around the pub. Some people were staring at the new man. She frowned and walked over to them. she leaned down. "Will you two gentelmen please stop looking at the men? It's not nice you know. If you aren't going to be nice, you can just leave." she said softly. the men frowned but didn't say anything back. They knew their place not to talk back to a Balamb SeeD beginner. She walked back to the bar and began to dry the glasses. "So what brings you here?"

Dac looked up from his drink. "just traveling, really. not really doing anything but seeing the world......you know, you don't have to do that for me. getting them to stop staring i mean. people always stare at me, but they never do anything." he shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "but none of them know what it's like out there. people like me keep the cities safe. we kill thousands upon thousands of heartless just so that they can live comfortably. even this so-called barrier wouldn't last an hour under a heartless attack if they were left to gather enough strength." he gestured to the building which generated the field. "but enough from an old man. you probably have work to do." he finished his last drink and strolled from the pub.

Just before the man could leave, Keoni busted through the door and bumped into him. He side stepped around the man, "sorry sir." he smiled happily then ran to the counter. "hey Mirray, guess what today is." She turned to him and smiled. "what is today, young guardian?" keoni giggled and jumped up on a stool. "It's my birthday today and my daddy's giving me a real sword too." Mirray placed a glass on the shelf and leaned on the counter. "You see that man over there?" She pointed at Dac, "he says that he's going to protect TriBalamb." She winked and walked back to her business.
Keoni looked over at Dac and slid off his stool and walked to Dac. "My father is the Knight of TriBalamb. He's is the best fighter around. I don't believe we need any help mister." keoni smiled at the man.

Dac looked down at the kid. "well, even if he is good. there are a lot of heartless out there. people like me keep them from forming an army too big for your dad to handle." he smiled down at the kid and patted him on the head. he shook of his hand and started to swing his arms like he was holding a sword. "no way! my dad's the greatest! nothing can stop him!" Dac had forgotton what it was like to be a kid. it had been so very long. he couldn't recall the exact number of years, but he knew it was at least 300. he fought in the great war 300 years ago even though he didn't look a day over 20. he continued on his way out the door. he would keep an eye on that girl.

Being as stubburn as Keoni was, he followed the man outside. "You should really meet him. why don't you come for dinner? My mom is a great cook." he smiled up at the man but walked as if he was the guardian of the city.
Some of the men left from the bar and it got quiet. It was after hours now and there wouldn't be many people. She wondered what really brought the man here. He seemed so strange.

Dac looked down in surprise at the young child. he hadn't met a boy this mature at such an age in all his life. and he wanted to see this man and pump him of a little information about that young bartender. "ok, i'll meet your father. what's your name, by the way?" the boy looked up at him. "Keoni." he straightened up. "son of Duo!" "well alright then Keoni. i'm Dac. lets go see your father!" he brought his staff to rest on his shoulder again and followed Keoni to his home. his house was not at all large. this pleased Dac. it told him that this man is down to earth, and doesn't chase after the privledges sought by many others of his rank. it also meant that he would be harder to pump for information. he would not be vain like so many other knights he had met. as they approached, the door was flung open and a tall figure stood in the doorway. "Keoni, you little fool! were you bothering Mirray again?! you know she has to study! and on top of waiting at that pub!" the figure noticed Dac and stepped into the street where it was easier to see him. it was a man with blue hair. "who are you?" Keoni butted in before he could say a word. "this is Dac! he says that he protects TriBalamb, but i told him that you didn't need any help. but he wouldn't believe me so i brought him here to meet you." Dac jumped in. "yes, your son was kind enough to offer me dinner. i wanted to discuss something with you anyway, so i followed him. you see, i don't know my way around town." he said as he thought that maybe he had given the kid too much credit for being so polite earlier. the man spoke up. "and why would a ranger be familiar with our streets? come in, come in, i am who you seek."

They sat at the dinner table and a woman appeared from the kitchen. She was a wore, young woman who didn't see like she could hardly hold herself up. She placed a few plates on the table and looked at Dac and smiled weakly. Seymour looked up a her and smiled. "dac, I want you to meet my wife, Lumi." lumi nodded and left quickly. keoni ran upstairs to his room and picked up his own chair from supper.
Mirray sat there at the bar trying to think things out. An army of heartless?

Dac stood and bowed his head to the young woman. "it is a pleasure to meet you ma'am." he smiled at her as he sat down. he turned his attention back to Duo. "so, Knight of TriBalamb, do train the Balamb SeeDs your self?" "huh? oh yes, of course. i have been training the Balamb SeeDs my entire career. have you run inot any in your travels?" he leaned in on Dac, eager to know if he had perhaps trained a great warrior. "yes, a few. and each one a terrific fighter and a better person. you are one of the few Guardian Knights who still teaches his disciples personally. i now see why they are so good. the warriors from the other cities and towns are rude and arrogant. and consquently, not very good fighters." Duo sighed. "yes, well. i would like it not to be that way, but i cannot do as much as you." "even i have little influence over such matters. they make their own decisions no matter want anyone tells them. the fools wouldn't recognise good advice if it slapped them in the face." Duo chuckled. "anyway, the reason that i have come to you is that i need a partner. the heartless are growing in number by the day and its getting harder to mediate the meetings between knights. do i have your full cooperation?" "yes, of course." "good. i need to see your very best students. no, all your students. i will only take one. but it will be your very best student, no matter how much training they have." "but if they are not trained, how will they aid you?" "you need not worry, i will train them. has anyone claimed the living weapon this town possesses?" he thought a bit. "no. it is still here. and noone has even discovered it yet." "good. whomever can claim that weapon will be my partner. get someone to dig it up and bring it to the training hall."

Keoni ran down the stairs and fell, slamming into Dac's chair. He got himself up and smiled. "oops, sorry." he placed his chair next to Duo. Lumi came out and placed some meat on the plates. "No fish. That's a good thing. Will you be staying for the night? We have a guest quarter in the back." She smiled, some light still in her eyes. Raising up Keoni and another baby on the way was wearing lumi out.
Mirray let the bar and took off her apron. "Tony? I'm going home early tonight. i don't feel so well." her boss nodded and took to the bar himself. She took her books and headed to the SeeD Balamb section of the town to her appartment.
