Second Story Bookstore

Rei looked at Dwyrin sideways and said, "That's how I met Des." She could hardly keep from laughing. "Makes you wonder why I keep helping the guy with his crazy missions."

Kotaro walked back into the store. He had overheard the conversation as he contemplated outside. “Sorry about my rudeness earlier, but this matter is personal, and I had to think.” He looked at Rei. “Long time no see Rei.”

She laughed. "It makes me wonder why you went on a first one!"

If she remembered back to the base correctly, Rei had told her she was there for the fun.
There for the fun.
With Des??

Her thoughts were interrupted as the man from earlier walked into the store.

Kotaro turned to Dwrinn. “Is there a specific reason you want to help me?” Kotaro had learned no one did something for nothing.

[ Oi oi oi! No skipping in line! D: ]

Rei shrugged to show that she had given up trying to figure out why she went. "The first time he practically kidnapped me. From there it's a mystery."

She opened her mouth to reply to the newcomer, but he seemed more interested in talking to Dwyrin, so she closed her mouth and watched.

She flashed Rei an apologetic smile before turning to the stranger.

"There's not really a specific one, per se. But there's a very general reason, and if you'd be so kind as to give me something to call you, I'd be glad to tell you that reason."

Kotaro nodded. “I dont really have anything but these.” He pulls out multiple pieces of paper, each with a T. Circle on it. “Transmute these and I appear in the smoke.” Kotaro turned to Rei, realizing he had interupted something. “Sorry Rei, but did I hear you mention the name Des?”

[ Um~ Teleporting transmutation circles are going to have to be a no-go, kiddo. ]

Rei covered her mouth to hide her smile. "Maybe. I've met a lot of people lately," she said. "Um, I do believe that she wanted to know your name, not pieces of paper."

((Its not teleportation. Its an image reflected onto the smoke. The paper is on tthe floor, you transmute it, causing a connection to run through the earths magnetic field to me, as long as i am on the ground))

[ I'm still gonna call this one as not allowed. Even if you use alkahestry, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Star Wars + FMA isn't quite the world we've got here. ]

She kept a straight face and said, "She's right. I'm sorry for the confusion. Let's try this again.."

She composed herself and stood up very straight, facing the stranger. She spoke very quickly, "So you're going to the Sky Prison, eh?? I was thinking about doing that also. I'm Dwyrin, what's your name??"

((heh, alright, ill ffind something else.))

Kotaro smiled. “Kotaro, Kotaro Kuya.” He turned to Rei. “You up for a jailbreak Rei?”

Rei crossed her arms and watched Kotaro. "Jailbreak, huh?" she said, keeping a straight face as she looked him over. "Last time I went on some crazy mission, I ended up stranded in the wilderness with an insane man who wanted to kill me." A smile slipped onto her face as she said this; she had to admit that she had had fun.

Ace walked up the stairs and smiled to the group. "Hello, everyone! It's everyone's favorite customer. I should get theme music."

[ Dwyrin, Kotaro, Rei, Ace ]

She felt a smirk tug at her lips when Rei mentioned being stranded.

Ah, wonderful. I was planning on dragging her along. At least now I don't have to be the one to ask.

She whirled toward the familiar voice behind her, and saw Ace at the top of the stairs. She waved.

Will came down the stairs, the book in hand. He didn't know why, but he had grown attached to it. First he hated it, now he couldn't let it go.

[ Dwyrin, Zergio, Kotaro, Rei, Ace ]

[Kotaro hasn't responded in a while]

[We're the only 4 online, so I think he's gone]

{So: Dwy, Will, Rei, Ace}

[So Rei's turn.]

[ I agree here. I'll go ahead and post, then. If he comes back, then we'll add him back in? ]

Rei turned slowly at the new voice. She closed her eyes to calm herself before putting on the best customer service smile she had. "Hello, Ace."

Ace waved at Dwyrin. "What's up, Bar tender?"

He then turned to the smiling Rei. "I'm here to look for books on entrepeneriualship and learn the latest on the gossip of the book store."

Dwyrin glanced At Zergio/Will as he came downstairs. He had the book. Setting the thought aside, she spoke to ace.

"Well, we were in the process of dragging Rei on another adventure...But something happened. Now you're up to speed."
