Second Story Bookstore

Will looked at everyone in the store. Was crowded today. Will then walked over to Dwyrin and gave her a piece of paper.

((Back. had to eat dinner.))

Rei smiled at Will, then looked back at Ace. "We don't have any books on that topic," she said, thinking through her stock, then adding mentally. "It would hardly help you if I did."

She remained silent a moment then looked at Dwyrin as what she said sank in. "We hardly determined that's what we were doing."

"Fine," Ace said. "So, how much for the bookstore?"

((Order?))

[join in any time kotaro. It will be edited from there]

Dwyrin was absorbed in the paper, but looked up for a second to answer Rei. "You mean you were going to say no??"

She looked back at the sheet and back at Zergio, not completely understanding.

Zergio unfolded it for Dwyrin, showing her a map of the entire Sky Prison.

"I have no use for it" Will said dully.

He then looked at Ace. He knew Rei wasn't stupid enough to sell the store.

Kotaro had been silently listening. He finally spoke up after seeing the map.“Thanks Zergio, this will help.” Kotaro noticed he hadnt met the man known as Ace. He shoved his hand out. “I believe we havnt met, Im Kotaro.”

"No," Rei said flatly to Ace. She shook her head and turned her attention to Dwyrin. "I have no intention of saying no, but I have hardly said yes so far," she said, smiling. "And now we have a map. That's helpful."

[Will, Kotaro, Rei, Ace, Dwyrin]

Ace glared at Will as he shook Kotaro's hand. "Darn, I was hoping you'd be my employee, Rei," Ace grumbled. "That's what entrepreneurials do."

"Call me Ace," he said to Kotaro.

She felt a bit foolish for not opening the map all the way. Makes sense I couldn't read it.

"Indeed it is helpful. I wonder how Zergio came across such a thing," she said looking at Will curiously.

Will blinked at Ace. A glare? From doing nothing?

Will sighed, then looked at Dwyrin.

"Tosh picked it up and used it to save me from the Sky Prison. She had guts to do that. Thats the least I can say."

Sick from being glared at, Will sat down and cracked open the book, reading it.

Kotaro frowned. Tosh had saved him from the prison? “Thats a problem. If someone escaped, they would have updated their defences.” Kotaro looked at Zergio. He wouldnt ask why he had been arrested, but he would talk to Tosh about it.

Rei watched Will carefully, but quickly gave up trying to find anything. "So, we have an exciting breakout ahead of us, huh?" she said, smiling at Dwyrin and Kotaro.

"Why are we breaking people out of jail?" Ace asked Kotaro.

"Because it's in the sky prison, of course," she said quickly, before Kotaro could answer. "And I know you're just dying to go there, Ace." She gave him a hurried, but meaningful look.

She turned to Rei. "That we do. We also have to meet someone there, I think."

Will silently spoke gibberish as he read the book.

“I only plan on freeing one person. His name is Jake Meangston. He runs a....” Kotaro stopped. He didnt know how these people felt about Ishval. “...refugee camp. He was arrested for denying to hand over a Xing refugee to the military.” Kotaro paused. “ The man I intend to “visit” is a renowned lieutenant by the name of Garsher. He used to be my old CO. He made me do things. Things that haunt me to this day.”

"Sounds fun. Count me in," Rei said, nodding. She flexed her left hand and smiled. "I'm ready to go whenever you guys are."

[ I'm too lazy to think of a way to explain that Yoyo's goin' to bed... So Rei's out and will be here tomorrow for the Prison if y'all are willin' to wait for me.
G'night, FME~ ]
