One crazy neighborhood...

[Baby Coquette]

Kumi looked up at im and blinked."Where were you stuck?"she asked.  

[AyaSantres]

"Same place you were just now..." He said casually.  

[Baby Coquette]

Kumi blinked in confusion and looked up at him."What...but...how..?"she asked."We didnt see you in there!"she said confused.  

[Noltic]

"Well Kumi cmon havent you ever heard of a haunted house?"

Noltic laughed, that place was indeed weird and he figured that the old man was simply a minifestation of the house... like the plaster guardian from "The wastelands" He also doubted that they were exactly in the proper dimension while they were in there, knowing that things existed out of space and time made Noltic a little queasy.  

[AyaSantres]

Aya gave her a look. "Of course you didn't. I was stuck in there a few years ago...."  

[Baby Coquette]

Kumi blinked and stared up at him quietly. "Oh...so..doesnt that mean you were out here....?"she asked and suddenly she stepped forewards angrily."If you were out here why didnt you help us!!" she knew she desperately needed an anger management class.  

[Daigo Himazaki]

Daigo was standing an a roof above them, silently listening to their conversation as the red scarf he wore, covering the bottom part of his face from the nose down, blew in the wind. He had his hands in his pockets and his bare upper body was covered in tribal tattoos from his clan. His white jeans had various rips in them from battles long ago and his shoes were a little worn from travelling by foot.  

[AyaSantres]

Aya nodded. "Of course I was... But why would I help you...? You're boyfriend over there wanted to find out what it was like to work on his own... Now that you've faced how impendent death is around here if you don't be careful, how do you feel...?"  

[Baby Coquette]

Kumi blushed right away and glared."He...he isnt my boyfriend!!"she yelled embarrassed. She had never really thought abou it before.  

[AyaSantres]

Aya chuckled. "Whatever you say, princess." He dropped to the ground, startling one of the passerby. "I guess you're fine, then..."  

[Noltic]

"You know what aya... your probably right... i should probably do some training then eh.... well im pretty sure i could fight like solid snake... but im a little outta shape... so i definately physiacally couldnt do it.... Maybe i should do some training...."

Noltic started the sentence speaking to aya but was talking to hmself by the end... He needed to be stronger... and he needed to be not just for hiumself but for Kumi as well.... Not his boyfreind... he saw her blush when she said it... his heart was a little lighter at the thought.  

[AyaSantres]

Aya sighed. "It would take a bit more than what you've got right now to be able to survive. I tried to tell you before. Do you believe me now...?"  

[Noltic]

"hehe... Surviving isnt hard... i never seem to die... even with the s**t i went through in my old home.... Though if i plan to hold my own at all and get anything accomplished i figure i should get in shape a little more..."

Noltic genuinely believed what he said.... He'd been stabbed and hit by cars and had tetanus fevers... and he was still alive today...

((This character is actually me.... sadly))  

[AyaSantres]

((Unfortunately, minus the fire and darkness thing, so is mine.))

Aya shrugged. "Whatever you say..." He said, almost to himself. "Well, what would you like to do now? Want to go for a little tour...?"  

[Noltic]

"I will take yopu up on that request... but first my primary concern is finding a gym or a dojo or something.... beacuase for some reason i feel much stronger than i used to be... and i doubt conventional excercise will work..."
