Goku comes running out of his room, still dressed in his sleeping clothes. Waving his arms around, frantically.
GOKU: "Wait wait, Red-sama!!! I'm not ready, yet!! .... Oh boy, breakfast!"
He then rushes back into his room to get ready. A familiar, yet unknown voice comes from behind Red.
LINK: "You really should lay off th' liquor, Red."
Link was leaning against a door-frame. He was smiling, dressed the same as the day before, his sword strapped to his back. He cocked a brow.
LINK: "Dink, Blink, and what was that last one, Klink was it...?"

RED: "....good to see you again, Link."
Red turns his head away, and looks to the floor.
RED: "I have my reasons for drinkin' so heavily. This are different now. I can find peace only in the bottom of a bottle these days."
Red looks to Goku's room.
RED: "Hey! Getta move on, kid!"
He turns back to Link.
RED: "We're going for breakfast. Care to join us?"
Red walks past his weapons as he prepares to exit his home.
RED: "If you go with us, leave those weapons behind. We don't want the Shogunate in our face."
Red steps outside and waits for Goku.

Link's smile fades. Red, drinking his problems away? As far as he was concerned, his friend only drank to celebrate, and he happened to always have something to celebrate about. He nods in acknowledgement, and says nothing more of the subject. Besides, this wasn't the time to get depressed, the two friends were having a reunion of sorts. He places his weapons down next to Red's. He steps outside after Red. The silence is broken, as Goku comes tearing out of the house.
GOKU: "Oh boy, breakfast! C'mon Red. I'm starved, I haven't eaten in ages."
Instead of waiting for Red to start moving, he leads the way once more, trotting at a brisk pace.
LINK: ".... well, he's sure energetic."

The dragonoid stood off to the side of the street, red and green wings folded over her shoulders while she watched the crowd. She turned her head a few times to watch the shifting of the humans that walked around. They always looked at her with curiosity, or disturbance. She didn't mind, she was sued to it since her pilgramage into the human part of the world. Her kin, the Dragons of Geasei, had long since left the habited lands, leaving behind the retarded ones of their kind to die at the hands of the humans and other creatures of the land. She, on the other hand, wanted to move freely among the humans as her kind did so long ago. The elders had forbade their kin from venturing forth, but she went against their wishes, and now here she was. The dragonoid mage continued to watch the streets. She pulled out a small leather bound book and a charcoal pencil, making a few notes within it. With all she had observed about humans, and the change in the governmental demenor, it was hard to say if she should try and help out, or leave it for someone else to mess with.
Sarada: Poor people... they would be better off to be protected by my kin than their own.
With out so much as caring at how disturbing the change was, her scales became tan flesh, and her horns, spines, and claws all vansihed, leaving a well toned, muscular human female. She brushed her red hair from her face, and started down the street, her magial garb flowing out behind her. gold eyes continualy scanned the people for possible hostile intent as she put her mage notebook back in the pouch on her belt.

Red looks over to Goku.
RED: "Yes... he's a bit energetic... which is fine with me. Tepes is just too laid back sometimes..."
Red turns his attention back to the road, and continues walking to the tavern for breakfast.
Meanwhile, in the village square, a stranger swaddled in dark clothes with a hood pulled over his head addresses the crowd.
PROPHET: "Come hither forth, people of Ryouko! I bring news to you all! Mephisto rises soon! But lo! For their is hope! Deep within the heights of Genzon-Tô lies the Legendary blade itself! The one weapon forged capable of slaying the king of demons, Mephisto! The Tolgrim awaits the weilder atop the Living Tower!"
RYOUKOJIN: "Why should we believe you?! What proof do you have?!"
PROPHET: "Galvas has spoken to me, and I have forseen the coming of Mephisto! I have seen also his defeat at the blade of Tolgrim!"
RYOUKOJIN: "But we've seen no proof!"
PROPHET: "Close your eyes, and I will ask Galvas to show you!"
The prophet closes his eyes as well, and speaks to the Mage in Yagyu.
PROPHET: 'Now it's your turn to assist my plan. Conjur a spell so that they see what I speak of.'
MAGE: "So it is done."
The Ryoukojin all gasp in horror upon seeing the face of Mephisto. Then they open their eyes, and gaze upon the Prophet to hear more of his words.
PROPHET: "Now, good people of Ryouko! You have all seen for yourselves! I ask ye now, who shall brave the Gonzen-Tô, and retrieve Tolgrim?"
The crowd begins to make outrageous statements, all claiming to be capable of the task...until danger becomes an issue.
RYOUKOJIN1: "...this will be quite a task...but I'm sure I can do it! What challenges are there?"
RYOUKOJIN2: "Yeh! You've told us nothing of what lies in the tower, besides that sword!"
PROPHET: "Many beasts lurk within the tower... be wary, it is not fit for those who are unseasoned in combat."
RYOUKOJIN3: "Hm... We'll hold a town meeting here in the square. Spread the word! There is a meeting in the square!"

Moments later, the three arrive at the tavern. As Goku bursts through the doors, they are surprised to hear all the loud and excited chatter.
LINK: "Wonder what's going on...."
Goku for one, doesn't pay much attention, and finds a table for them. As soon as they are seated, Goku begins to glance about the tavern. Then looks back to Red.
GOKU: "What're all these people talking about, Red-sama?"
Link just sits back, listening to the conversation going on to his left.
RYOUKOJIN1: "Say, what do you think is in that tower...? Gonzen-tô, I mean. I've heard nasty rumors about it, and besides, this sword... Tolgrim, who do you is crazy enough to actually fight Mephisto with that sword?"
RYOUKOJIN2: "Who cares, I sure don't know anyone who would be crazy enough to go in there, besides, even if someone did get that sword, members of the Ryuusei Shogunate would probably take it away."
RYOUKOJIN3: "Geez, like it matters. Being wiped out by Mephisto can't be much worse than being ruled by this tyrant, Ryuusei!!"
RYOUKOJIN2: "Fool, keep it down. What if someone hears you?"
Then, the group goes on to rambling about other things. It seems that everyone in the tavern are also chattering about the Gonzen-tô and Tolgrim. Link glances over at Red, and leans forward.
LINK: "Seems everyone's talking about the Gonzen-tô tower, and a sword called Tolgrim... there's alot of talk about Mephisto as well."
Goku had lost interest in what everyone was talking about and justs sits there, flipping through his menu, studying it in detail. Though, why he was reading it with so much interest was a mystery, he probably had it memorized by heart anyways....

Sarada walked into the same tavern as the group of warriors. Only a few people noticed what she was wearing, which seemed to be very different from what normal women wore. She took a seat a a table near Red, Goku and Link.
Sarada: Strange foods... should have gone hunting this morning.
She picked up what the locals were talking about.
Sarada: Going after the Tolgrim is maddness... Their choice, though.

Miorix has concealed his swords beneath a long cloak, and is listening to the chatter in the tavern in Ryouko. Miorix: "Eh, I don't need no more swords. But about Mephisto..." Miorix spots a familiar face, several tables away. He walks over to Red. Miorix: "Hey, you... whatsyourfaceagain!" ------------------ Sull listens to the chatter of the people, many miles away. He shakes his head, and goes to sleep for a while... his dreams are filled with fearful images, and he when he wakes up, he is no more at rest than before... ------------------- Sylf has cleaned his swords with some of the soldier's clothes, and is on his way again, heading for the next town.

Red looks up at Miorix.
RED: "Oh! Hey....uh...guy... good to see ya' again. Pull up a seat, eh?"
Red scans the room, and notices a group of three Shogunate members walk into the tavern and take a seat in the back of the room.
RED: "...hm..they always travel in threes.... I wonder though.. How come they ain't heard nothin' about that Tolgrim? I mean.. people're talkin' about it like it's no big deal..."
The clerk comes and takes everyone's order.
CLERK: "....Oi! Wha' kin I git for ye? Will ye beh havin' 'deh special, or have ye got'cher preference picked oot alreadeh?"
RED: "...uhm.. my preference is picked 'oot' already, thanks. I'll have four eggs, scrambled...uhm... a steak, well done... and...hm...oh, bring some bread too."
CLERK: "And what'll ye be warshin' it doon with?"
RED: "I think I warsh it doon with some warm sake.
CLERK: "Sake? Lad, ye've ne'er ordered that be'far... do ye feel okeh?"
RED: "Yeh.. but I haven't often ordered breakfast here. I used to always have warm sake with my breakfast back when I had that one friend."
CLERK: "Aye.... and what'll 'de rest of ye be havin'?"
As the clerk speaks with the others at the table, Red scans the room again and notices the oddly dressed girl sitting near them.
RED: '....odd clothes... wonder what's up with her...'
He sits there staring for a moment, not realizing he's doing it, until he finally catches himself.

*After spendign the night at Geeses dojo, Frost catches up all that has happened in geasei while he was gone.to talk aobut it futher the two goes to the tavern for a meal.*
FrostXero: Heh So Ryuusei would do that? Hmm didn't seem like that kinda person to me.

As he is listening to all the chatter, he scans the room, his eyes fixing onto the oddly dressed girl just about the same time as Red. His eyes linger for a moment longer, before shifting away. As the clerk asks him for his order, he doesn't look towards the clerk, but just motions toward Red.
LINK: "I'll take whatever he's having."
He was absorbed in picking up more information about this tower and sword. Moments later, the chatter died down, and he fixes his gaze infront of himself once more. He spots Miorix, greeting the stranger with a nod. He then fixes his eyes on Red.... telepathy, a "recently" aquired skill.
LINK: 'There is word of a town meeting regarding the Gonzen-tô and Tolgrim, later today. I think it would be best if we were to attend? I'm sure we would learn more about what's going on....'
During all of this, Goku spent his time listing what he wanted. After several long moments, he is finished with his order. He then picks up his fork and knife, ready to attack his meal as soon as it was delivered.

Miorix sits down next to Red. Miorix: "Nice seein' ya again. Heh, most faces I'm not so happy about, ya know..." He glances over at the Shogunate soldiers, then calls over a tavern clerk to take orders. Miorix: "I'll... be having a large Jug o' water, kay? My head's still buzzin'... Oh, and some bread. Just plain bread, kay?" He looks at Red, trying to focus and remember what he was going to say. ---------------- Wraknorian leaves his sword with trusted members of the red wind clan, and takes the key to the magically warded cascet, wherein he placed his sword, with him. He decides to return to the town under Ryuusei's rule, and wants to avoid unnecessary conflict. ----------------- Sull hears the words of the prophet, and listens to the wind. The wind tells many different storys, and Sull is left confused... he can't make any sense of the wind's whispered words. ----------------- Sylf continues along his path, moving from Dead man's route in Yagyu's direction. Most of the few who pass him survive, as he can't be bothered to attack. Some aren't as lucky.

Sarada looks up when the cleark stops by. She speaks in the slured language of her kin, and then catches herself. She hadn't realised she had been doing it before.
Sarada: Shorry, me common ish horrible. Water, pleash?
The cleark nods and goes back to work. They seem undisturbed by her language usage.
Sarada sighed, folding the menu and setting it off to the side of the place setting. She would HAVE to go hunting at dusk. Maybe a nice fat cow? or... maybe a pig? there was an abundant source of ive stock to pick from, and it oculd easily be blamed on a lesser dragon, she would just have to leave the right signs. Already she was thinking about gorging on the insides of a creature that was still a good 18 hours away.
She looked around the room briefly, seeing the group of warriors over to one side. They had no weapons, so they were clearly following the law. Why did she care so much about it? Perhaps she would eventualy get her answer.

Red nods to Link, in regards to his telepathic message. Then Tepes sends in his own message via telepathy.
TEPES: 'My master... something sinister is coming.'
RED: 'Get outta my head....'
TEPES: 'It will be a trying battle, you know.'
RED: 'Get outta my head.....'
TEPES: 'I think you should try and pay attention during the meeting...'
RED: 'Dammit Tepes! Get outta my head!'
TEPES: '....keep your eyes peeled, and your ears alert.'
RED: 'Right, alert, got it. Now get outta my damned head!'
RED: "So Miorix, what brings you to Ryouko?"
As the group continues their chatter, a small handful more of the Shogunate soldiers walk in, worn out from a busy day.
GUARD1: "Dammit all... those rotten demons are gettin' to be a pain in th' ass."
GUARD2: "...No kiddin'.... they attack people like THEY own the place... such arrogance... it's intolerable."
GUARD3: "Yeh.... and that one guy... what th' HELL was his problem?!"
GUARD2: "He just doesn't want to obey the laws, I guess... too bad he got away..."
GUARD1: "Rookie.... You two should consider yourself lucky. That blue-haired bastard coulda' cut us all in two with that nasty lookin' sworda' his. We got off easy, guys... We'll get i'm though..."
GUARD4: "We're supposed to start a patrol on him later....see if we can find him."
GUARD1: "Won't do any good though. You guys're too scared to mess with 'im. You guys embarrassed th' hell outta me today."
GUARD3: "Yeh, but we did our jobs. We took out the demons, all except for that one. And he wasn't even affiliated with them."
GUARD1: "Yeh, but he won't obeyin' th' laws....That's just as bad."
The guards continue their rambling about a blue-haired demon, then soon the conversation turns to up-coming Stone Garden battles. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "Prophet" feels the winds changing....
PROPHET: '....I'll need your magick yet again, mage.'
MAGE: 'Oh? What is it?'
PROPHET: 'A wind-talker... he may get wind of our intentions....'
MAGE: '.....literally?'
PROPHET: 'Yes. Use your Black to cloud the winds in our favor.'
MAGE: 'So be it.'
In his estate, the mage begins to chant yet again, conjuring an evil wind to bear news in favor of the Prophecies foretold by Jared. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clerk brings back the orders, including Sarada's water.
CLERK: "Aye lass, will ye havin' anythin' else? Or are ye doon wit'char order fer nu?"
The door to the tavern opens, and Mael enters.
MAEL: ".........yo."
He waves at Red, and finds himself a seat nearby, yet away from the group. Mael isn't much of a socialist.
