RP or whatever the kids call it these days

[kirite]

Ren stood up unsteadily, either the jet lag is getting to him or...Ren narrowed his eyes warrily or- there was a pig nearby.

Ren shook his head, nah there shouldn't be pigs in the middle of the city, it's not like people keep them as pets afterall.  His paranoia is just getting worse everyday.

Realising that the spiky blond was waiting for him to answer Ren grinned, it's not everyday you'll see such a good mannered people.

"It's alright though there goes my lunch and dinner" Ren notes the pocky on the ground with a sigh.  "Oh by the way that's a cool cosplay dude! But..." Ren points to the sword strapped to the young man's back.  "I think you'll want to hide that, it's not exactly to walk around with something so realistic ya know?" 

An awkward silence followed as the young man didn't say anything back.  Ren chuckled, teens these days are such a gloomy bunch. 

"Well nice meeting you.  Hope you have fun at that anime convention!"  Ren waved good naturedly and jogged past the stranger.

Unknown to Ren he dropped more then Pocky when he bumped into the stranger.  He also dropped a small card wallet and it was lying face up on the ground.

So, the man thought that the sword was fake. However, it wasn't, because if he took it out, he could injure somebody. And what was that thing about an 'anime' convention, anyway? Then, looking down at the objects that the guy dropped, he saw a card. "Shinra?" Cloud muttered aloud, the name familiar to him. But this wasn't Gaia. Could Rufus even know about the other worlds? It was impossible.

Or was it?

The phone then rang slightly, and as he picked it up, he noticed the number. Tifa. "Yes?" He could only faintly hear his name being called before everything then turned to static. "Tifa? Tifa!" Then nothing.

All he had to do now is find out the truth about this world. As if anyone would believe that he was really a twenty-three year old who was experimented so many times by Hojo. Cloud would laugh if it weren't so cruel. Hojo, after all, was Sephiroth's cruel and sick father. He was kind of glad that they killed Hojo, actually.

Karen turned to look at the man standing at the door. "Whaddya mean, cosplaying?! I'm not cosplaying!!" she cried. The graurd gulped as she put out the fire with her bare hands. "Now tell me, you stupid guard. Where are Martha and Gregory?!"

[Akonyl]

((oh man, it's been ages since I've done an rp, may as well for kicks. Long intro post inc))

Name: Uhh...
Age: Uh..Err...
Current Location: Well... it looks like it's "Eat Street".

Well, at least that's what the street sign says. Eat Street. What a weird name. It figures that there would be a steet called Eat Street in a place called Kelloggs. Well, at least he thought it was called Kelloggs, because a lot of stores had it in their names. He didn't really know much. Actually, he didn't know anything from before 5 minutes ago.

Had he lost his memory? Has this happened before? What if it happens again? He had to write a note to himself, so he reached in his coat pocket for a piece of paper. He pulled a bunch of scraps of paper, most of which said things like "I forgot", "What happened" and "What"... so he guessed that this has happened at least 50 times, or at least he wrote about it 50 times. One piece of paper got his attention though, it said "Someone called me Richard".

Richard? What a proper sounding name for a bum like him. At least, he seemed like a bum, because his beard was long and unkempt and gray and... is that a worm in there? ...and his trench coat was muddy at the bottom. It didn't exactly look like a trench coat either, more like a robe or something. But who wears robes aside from bathrobes, and why would he be wearing a bathrobe in the middle of the street? A trench coat certainly made more sense.

What made less sense was this walking stick he had on his back. It was as tall as he was and somewhat gnarled, and had unreadable scrawlings on the sides. He took it off his back and sat down and looked at it. Why did he even need it? He could certainly walk well enough without it... maybe it was for hiking. To be honest, it sort of looked like a staff... but a walking stick certainly made more sense. But he didn't even want to walk right now, because he was so hungry.

He put his head in his hands. "I'm so hungry... I wish I had something to eat," he said. When he raised his head, he saw a sandwich in front of him. Wait... was that there before? Richard looked both ways. "Hey!" he shouted, "who gave this to me?"

No reply. He looked at the sandwich again, and picked it up. Well, he doubted it was poisonous at least, so he took a bite. Oh man... bacon, beef, tomatoes, so much stuff was in this sandwich. But he loved all of it. It's almost like whoever gave him this sandwich knew exactly what he wanted... or maybe they just had good taste.

After eating it, he looked around again. "Well, might as well get going somewhere," he thought, and walked in the direction he thought he heard some noises happening.

(...let's hope you meant "guard" when you said "graurd", ccpp)

(btw: because I am lazy, I am going to switch how I type my part of the story. Even though this way isn't as cool as the way everyone else is doing it, I just suck at doing dialogue like this and worry that I did something stupid everytime.)

Obviously, Mark could not see the fire being put out as the fire was on the other side of the house. Although Mark did notice her hands do something odd, which he just thought was a weird habit.

Mark: Huh? (Mark turns his head)  ...Oh!

Mark suddenly noticed the guard was awake. The guard looked annoyed yet worried.

Guard: Who..who the hell are you?!

Mark tried to calm him down by saying something very original.

Mark: Hey, calm down! (see? Very original) It's just some cos-I mean girl! She seems to know my parents. And besides, isn't judging people by appearances retarded?

He immediately turned his head back towards the girl while the guard just kept staring in the direction of the girl with the same expression on his face.

Mark: My parents aren't here right now. You should get somewhere safer, but I'll tell them you were looking for them. What's your name?

The keyboard keeps on rattling as Raf tries to hack on a certain server.
"Hmm... firewalls. But nothing I can't get into . Hacking a government network is really tough." Raf said with a smile.
He seems to be enjoying this kind of work.
After some time...
*Beep*
"This is it! The data I need. What are these... banks? Offshore accounts... lots of 'em.
Stored diamonds too, eh... Hm. Like I care. I just have to send it, get my money, and voila!"
The cellphone alarm rang. It was 1:00.
"Time for FFVII! Oh, I guess I'll eat first..."

BAM!!!
Then suddenly the door was busted open.
"O-oh. Feds..."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

When Karasu opened his laptop, the data popped up on his screen:
And a message as well:

"I stole my pay from one of your online accounts. Don't worry, I just took what I had to " -ShadowHacker

"Hmph, sneaky fellow. If I knew who this guy really is, I should've killed him by now. Oh well.
It was hidden in this bank after all. I'll have to start planning for the heist..."

Karasu, as usual, showing an evil aura around him.

One of his men called.
"Boss, we tried to contact additional men. So far we haven't succeeded recruiting 'that guy' yet.
We tried to call his phone, but he wasn't answering."
"How many minutes did you wait before hanging up?", the Boss replied.
"Um... a minute, or two", the underling replied, seemingly confused with the question.
"Next time, wait for five minutes." Karasu told him.
"Why don't we just find ano-"

Karasu hung up.

"That lazy guy... we can't go on with the heist without that prodigy. His x-ray eyes... we need those x-ray eyes..."
Karasu was murmuring by himself while repeatedly making dots on the paper. No, not just paper; it's a list of names. And he keeps on marking a name... or a nickname... It says:

Spoiler:

Fuji...

                                                                                                                                                    ã

[ccppfan]

Karen turned to the guy. "Karen..." she said. "Martha and Gregory are missing... Can you help out a bit?"

[bluekaitou1412]

Fuji woke up because of a loud knock this time.
"Now, who could that be, disturbing my not-so-peaceful sleep?"
He reluctantly stood and opened his front door.
Only to be surprised.
"What the hell?"
There is a leprechaun in his front door.
"Hello, sleepyhead."

[kkslider5552000]

Mark Tsuruta was slightly confused at what cosplayer girl Karen was talking about.

Mark: But they can't be missing...since...y'know, I talked to them on the phone just a minute ago.

[Akonyl]

Richard sighed. "I've been begging here in the street for hours now and all I got was 3 dollars... and this lousy t-shirt."

He stood up and looked around. "Well, I should probably spend this on food, because I can't count on sandwiches magically appearing for me again and I'm pretty hungry... now where to eat..."

He continued walking along, until his eyes caught a hot dog stand by the side of the road. "Well, this should be cheap enough," he thought as he approached the stand. "Hel-"

"HEY!" shouted the vendor, in a clearly angry tone.
"Ahh! Oh, uh, hey...?" replied Richard, rather confused.
"Don't 'hey' me you stupid bum! You still owe me two dollars for the last hot dog you bought!"
"Oh... sorry about that, I don't seem to have much money."
"I don't care! You may be a good customer of mine, but you can't pay me with keys and then run off! I can't do anything with these."
"...keys?"

The vendor reached into his pocket and pulled out a large keyring, filled with keys. "Yeah, these! You said that they were valuable or something so you thought I would take them."
"Oh. Well, I guess I'll pay you back for that hot dog if you give me those keys?"

Richard handed the man two dollars and looked at the key ring that was apparently his. But now, Richard had a new problem.

"Say," asked Richard, "got anything for a dollar?"
"Well, I got this pack of gum."

Richard sighed, handing over his last dollar to the vendor. At least the gum would help with the hunger. More important though was this mysterious keyring he'd gotten. He sat down and began to look through the keys.

BAM!!!
Then suddenly the door was busted open.
"O-oh. Feds..."

Raf was watching a movie while eating (Whatdaf-)
Then played FFVII, and after that, went out to withdraw the money he earned.

"Ehhh... It's been a while since I've been in the outside world..."

Raf seemed to be quite shocked after stepping outside his house.
He's not the type to go out. In fact, it's been two years since he went outside his home.
And that was the time when he attended the graduation ceremony.
As he walked outside, he saw a cute blond girl who smiled at him when they passed each other.
"Ashley, eh..." Raf smiled back, but said nothing.

"That girl, I remembered her saying to me thru chat that I was too locked at home. Though that was quite rude, err... frank of her, I didn't actually mind. Not actually my type, but she was definitely one of the cute girls around here. She was one of the few who actually said that I look handsome without my glasses. She's that frank, alright; I hope she's not just teasing me.", Raf was full of memories of all his few friends while looking at the clear sky.

*Minutes pass...*
As Raf was on his way to the bank, he saw a man, a guard, and a cosplayer... or is she? But Raf noticed something weird about that cosplayer. Looking from a distance, he focused on the ears, and realized that those were real.

"An Elfin, eh... Never thought those creatures were real. But the other guy... I think I've seen him with Ashley way back... err... who was it? Mac? Mike? Marco?"

Raf was thinking when he forgot that he had to rush to the bank.
"Oh well, like I care."
Raf went on his way to the Burr Bank.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

When Karasu opened his laptop, a message popped up on his screen:

"Boss, we've ordered the new X ScanScope. With this, we can see the structure of the building and the location of the detectors and cameras without actually going inside. We won't have to resort to 'that guy'..."

"I really didn't want to spend money for this, but as long as we succeed, it'll be fine. Hahahaha."
Karasu, as usual, with the evil laugh. He's creepy, but seems to be an enemy stereotype.
"Why don't we start then? Off to Burr Bank!"
                                                                                                                                                    ã

[bluekaitou1412]

"A leprechaun?"
The little guy squinted at Fuji and his mouth curved.
"I am not a leprechaun, you a-hole! I am your teacher!"
"Oh."
"Now let me in before I catch a cold. I have to talk to you about your failing grades."
He is very upset to see his teacher again. He is technically a lunatic in Fuji's point of view.
So he did the unexpected.
He shut the door into the old man's face.
And got back to sleep.
Ignoring the shouts-with-killing-intent outside his house.

[Akonyl]

The keys were all unmarked. They were also all different, varying types. Most were modern, but there were also a number of skeleton keys that looked aged beyond reason. They were pretty rusty.

But still, no clues. Then he got an idea, and reached into his pocket, and pulled out the scraps of paper. He'd skipped over a few of them before, because they were tiny and just had lines on them. He gathered them all, and pieced them together.

Together, the pieces formed a picture of a key. He recognized it as one of the keys on his ring. But what did it mean? Wait a minute...

Richard flipped the pieces over and rearranged them. Now, there was a phrase. Burr - 4390. What was that?

"Hey hot dog man!" he shouted, "where's Burr?"
"Huh?" replied the vendor, "you mean the bank, Burr Bank? Hah! It's down the road that way, but what business would a bum like you have at a bank?"
"Ahh, yeah. I dunno, I suppose you're right."

Richard put the paper pieces back in his pocket and started towards the bank. "Burr Bank... 4390 and a key? What, do I have a safety deposit box there?"

[ccppfan]

Karen rolled her eyes. "Martha and Gregory are SNAKES. They can't talk." She walked over to the guard and held him by the scruff of his neck. An effort that was, since she was a head shorter than him. "And this guy," she continued, shaking the terrified guard, "was seen taking them away!" The guard shook his head in terror and squeaked, "I-I did NOT!!!" Karen let go of the guard. "Oh yeah? Then I'm going in!" She pushed open the door and stormed in the guard's house.

[kkslider5552000]

(but it's not the guard's house, I already explained that  )

Mark: Snakes? You have snake-
Mark immediately stopped after looking more closely at this girl. Her ears looked very realistic. They looked almost too realistic.
Mark: You know...that is a really good costume. Those ears almost look real.
