Ok, 1 hot tea, 1 sprite, and 1 Pepsai, 2 catfish, and a salad, your meals will be ready in a few minutes, I'll be back with your drinks shoryly.

Genki sighed as the waiter brought 3 drinks to his table. "Sorry about the door. "He apologized. "We fixed it so no harm done" The waiter said dismissively. Will your friends be back anytime soon.?' "I hope so" Genki said. "I'll have the cod meal.. and a Pepsi." I'll get that to you as soon as possible' the waitress said, giving Genki a smile.

"Things seem to be going ok so far in general." Moran said, to try to start or continue a casual conversation.

You're a king right/' Veemon said looking up from his fries at Moran.. 'How long have you been king? Do you have a queen? What's it like?' he asked with a eager interest..."

Kor · **Reply #1603 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:23:21 PM

Moran nods, "Yes, they made me king in another country in another world. It's ok, but a bit dull really. Every minute of every day is scheduled. Though important things to occur at times. And I spend a part of each day listening to folks and reading letters of folks who appeal to me for this or that. It's not as glamorous as the movies make it seem. And as for a queen I don't have one as of yet, maybe someday." Moran said. "I like to get away from it for periods of time." he said explaining in what he tried to make an interesting bit to listen to. "I use to be a university professor before that." He said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1604 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:25:13 PM

'You were a teacher? How did you become king then? Isn't there a line of nobility in your world..?' Veemon replied.

"There is some in my ancestry from quite a ways back. That and helping to kill a certain undead king and the dark sorcerer that was controlling him lead to me becoming a king." Moran said.

Tiger and Tigeress entered the resteraunt, Tiger having found a old newspaper to wipe the lipstick off his lips. the two wolves sat back at the table. "Sorry Gennki, for the scene earlier" Tigeress apologized as the waitress came back. "hi, I'll have the cod' Tigress said. "and a Sprite."
_
I'll have the perch" Tiger said. "and a 7up.. sorry about the door"
-
You just knocked it off its hinges.. no harm done.." The waitress said, taking thier orders.. "It will be a few minutes..'
_
"What was that all about Tiger? Genki demanded.. 'you guys left me alone for twenty minutes! Suppopse they had made me pay for busting the door? Look, Tigeress hasn't been around you as long as I have.. but you're stuck with her.. she doesn't have anywhere else to go..
_
We made progress on that front" Tigress said, her eyes were red from her crying.. but Genki didn't notice..

(OOC - WARNING: Ms. Swimmer's story contains spoilers for Twilight Valley!)

The Pelvanida group had finished eating and were gathered around Zachary (Ian Holmes.)

"Okay group, we're going to do a search of this hotel later tonight after everyone's asleep, anything suspicious, take it or take a photo and we'll send it over to Stripetail in the morning. Carry your weaponry. Acheron, Don, set up sniping positions opposite each other on the top floor. Mr. Bigmouth and Tim will guard you. We will start on the ground floor." Zachary (Ian Holmes) said.

The entire group nodded.

"All right! Head to your rooms and check your weaponry!" Deimos (Acheron) said.

The Pelvanida group nodded and headed out of the kitchen and to their rooms, stopping by the closets to grab their weaponry and ammo.

-------------------------------

Ms. Swimmer looked at Cynder. "Um, is something the matter?" She then turned to Dixie, cleared her throat and took a sip of water. "Well, this tale is about the 'Assault on Cloud Island'. What happened is during the war, my daughter, Ducky was captured whilst helping defend the Great Valley. I initially thought she had died but after we learned that she survived and was being held on an enemy island known as 'Cloud Island'; Deimos decided to lead an assault. I, of course, volunteered to join and was placed with Deimos's squad. Raptix, Hyp and Strut freaking jumped from flyers high up in the sky and glided onto the island using leaves! Deimos's squad was carried on the back of Elsie, a friendly aquatic Longneck. Not as exciting as jumping off the back of a flyer and gliding onto the island but when the Cloud Island dinos are throwing rocks, stone knives and spears at you, just as dangerous. I had to help Ruby, Mutt and the other Great Valley dinos escorting us there return fire with rocks and spears. Fortunately, Nod was able to use his body to block most of the incoming fire. Care to learn more about what happened when we landed or shall I stop?" Ms. Swimmer then took a gulp of water.

"Oh, um, nothing," Cynder replied, glancing away and feeling a bit embarrassed. "You can continue if you want." Cynder had been listening to the story passively.

----------------------------------

"Well, this last entry looks pretty helpful," Tsukasa began to read aloud. "'The curse has been on my hotel for too many years now. I am powerless to remove it. What little I know of the curse has been left scattered around the hotel and its grounds. The information is hidden for I'm afraid that whatever keeps the ghosts from speaking about the nature of the curse may also cause them to destroy any clues to it if they are left in the open. The first note is hidden within a cave near the hotel. I leave it up to you to find the cave from there the note you find will lead you to the next note and so forth.'"

Nick22 · **Reply #1609 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:10:22 PM

Well, thats a clue at least.. We'll start the search in earnest after lunch tommorow" Stripetail said. "Nice fine guys.."
_
By all means, please continue" Dixie said chewing on a piece of calamari.. "It sounds like it was really tense.." she said to MS. Swimmer.

Drake · **Reply #1610 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:19:08 PM

"Fine, just remember to include us," Tsukasa said, tucking the journal away into his pocket. "And if you don't mind, I'll hang onto this."

"I guess we should go get dinner," Yuusuke said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1611 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:22:00 PM

Syre" Stripetail said. "You guys are certainly welcome to come along, after all you found it..." He smiled.."At least we know where to start looking.. and hopefully, Dixie, Scooby and others found something as welll in town..
_
The waitress came back with the orders for Genki , Tiger and Tigeress. Tiger's mouth watered at the food, he was really hungry after the events with Tigress..

Drake · **Reply #1612 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:36:42 PM

"Good," Tsukasa said, the faint outline of a smile appearing on his face.

"Um, Tsukasa," he turned to face Yuusuke. "It just occured to me that we haven't found this world's Kamen Rider yet."

"Yeah, it's strange," Tsukasa crossed his arms and frowned in puzzlement. "In all the other worlds we found them in no time, but in this one... We've only encounter Riders from other worlds...

"You don't suppose we've somehow arrived in a world we weren't supposed to?" Yuusuke asked.

"That's possible," Tsukasa nodded, then his crazy smile returned to his face. "But we can't leave yet, we have a mystery to solve and treasure to earn."

Nick22 · **Reply #1613 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:41:52 PM

The waitress came back with the catfish for Cynder and Dixie and set them before them with a warning "Be careful they're very hot.." the catfish lay alongside vegetables, and a side of french fries and mashed potatoes.."Enjoy" She said as she set dowwn MS. SWimmer's order..
_
"Well good night gentlemen I'm turning in for the night" Stripetail said. "I'll see you tommorow at breakfast.."

Serris · **Reply #1614 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:45:18 PM

Deimos (Acheron), who was retrieving a canister of armor piercing SLAP rounds for his .50 caliber sniper rifle from the closet, turned to Tsukasa. "Pardon me, but my group and I are planning on doing a search this evening, late at night. If it is not too much trouble, we will gladly accompany you tomorrow." He was gently leaning on the crate of .50 caliber ammunition.

-----------------

Ms. Swimmer resumed petting Cynder on top of her head. "Well, after we landed, we had to fight our way to where Strut and the rest of the flyer borne dinos landed. Once we got there, I was paired up with Strut, Ruby and Littlefoot. When I say Cloud Island deserves its name, I mean it! The worst part was when we were ambushed by some enemy dinosaurs..." She paused to take a sip of water.

Drake · **Reply #1615 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:47:44 PM

"Thank you," Cynder said to the waitress before poking the steaming catfish with a claw. She leaned into Mrs. Swimmer's hand, glancing around to see if anyone was giving her odd looks.

----------------------------

"If you want to come that would be okay," Yuusuke said.

Tsukasa nodded at Stripetail and raised a hand in farwell, before turning back to Yuusuke. "Let's go get dinner."

Nick22 · **Reply #1616 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:50:36 PM

"Be careful, she did say it was hot.." Dixie reminded her, cutting a piece of her fish with a knife and fork.. "To think, last time you saw a piece of fish, you ate 273 of them.. sorry" She said as Cynder looked at her..'If you can't finish al of your food, I'll eat whatever's left.."

Drake · **Reply #1617 on:** April 01, 2009, 12:18:48 AM

Cynder's face seemed to turn green as she recalled the memory. "I can eat it, just please don't bring that up again until after dinner."

Nick22 · **Reply #1618 on:** April 01, 2009, 12:22:54 AM

Sure" Dixie grinned.. "I'll keep quiet until dinner's over... this is really good.. hot.. but good" She said tasting some of the fish.. "Where do you want to go after this Cynder?' She asked..

Drake · **Reply #1619 on:** April 01, 2009, 12:46:24 AM

"Hmm," Cynder blew on her fish, a faint trace of her wind breath helping to cool it quickly. "Can we go to a mall like we did before? Last time I didn't get to look around very much."

----------------------------------

Tsukasa and Yuusuke headed down towards the dining room.

"So why was that dragon after you?" Yuusuke asked. "You killed its master."

"It wants revenge," Tsukasa replied. "And now I'm going to have to watch my back everywhere I go."
