[12:24] <Dez_Visir> <Dez mumbles to himself as he walks down a street on the mining colony, a bundle of paper in one arm and a small styrofoam cup of coffee in his free hand. He was too busy with work to catch up with Reve last night, but had sent her a message to meet him in the small park of the colony. Of course, it resembled more of a backyard garden with two benches, but it made the colonists happy enough.>

[12:27] <Dez_Visir> <He sits down on the bench, and places the paper down next to him. He was a little early than the time he wanted to meet her, but that's better than being late. He wonders if she even got the note...>

[12:27] <Dez_Visir> Ha ha, of course she did. <Sips the coffee>

[12:28] <Dez_Visir> ...

[12:28] <Dez_Visir> <Looks at his watch> Ha....<Sips the coffee again>

[12:28] <Reve_Hunter> <walks towards the small park, a bit nervous and a bit excited about the meeting...she looks for this park, expecting something on the scale of Central park, but finds two crude benches, and sees a lone figure sitting down on the one>

[12:29] <Reve_Hunter> <walks nervously to where she sees dez sit, and slowly sits on the other end of the bench> hey...

[12:31] <Dez_Visir> <Looks to Reve, and startles, almost spilling his coffee. He catches the rim with his other hand and keeps it steady> Oh, hello....right on time. <Smiles nervously>

[12:31] <Reve_Hunter> Yeah..i always like to be on time. I hate it when people are late.

[12:32] <Dez_Visir> Ah, so do I...want to sit down? <Moves over on the bench, shuffling his papers to the side as well. At least they'd be a divider between the two>

[12:33] <Reve_Hunter> So, how have you been? what are you doing here in the colonies?

[12:33] <Reve_Hunter> I don't need rescuing yet. <shy smile>

[12:35] <Dez_Visir> Ah-hahahaha...funny, actually I was here to do some research about that mystery suit that's been popping up at the most inconvenient of times.

[12:35] <Reve_Hunter> Oh. I see. How has life been treating you dez?

[12:36] <Dez_Visir> Oh....pretty good. <Lies>

[12:36] <Reve_Hunter> <looks down at her hands and notices that they're becoming clammy>

[12:36] <Reve_Hunter> <nods> yeah. same.

[12:36] <Reve_Hunter> So....

[12:36] <Reve_Hunter> have you had any good wine recently?

[12:36] <Reve_Hunter> <thinks: doh, what an idiot thing to say Rêve>

[12:37] <Reve_Hunter> um..what i meant was...oh.. I don't know what i meant.

[12:37] <Reve_Hunter> <keeps quiet>

[12:37] <Dez_Visir> Uhhh.....well, no...I've actually been on a budget....

[12:37] <Dez_Visir> <Sighs> The repairs to Tiamat are being taken out of my paycheck, mostly...

[12:38] <Reve_Hunter> you know...I really should help you in that, you saved my life..it's the least i can do.

[12:38] <Dez_Visir> Nah, that's alright. It's my fault the damn thing was wrecked in the first place. If I hadn't just rushed onto the battlefield like a fool...

[12:38] <Reve_Hunter> you weren't a fool...you were just helping someone out.

[12:39] <Reve_Hunter> we all do that sometimes, and sometimes, you just don't have time to think out your actions.

[12:39] <Dez_Visir> I could have helped out without almost getting killed myself though, don't you think?

[12:40] <Reve_Hunter> I don't know...it doesn't matter, it's in the past, the most important thing is that you didn't get killed. <looks straight at dez> That way you can live to see better days.

[12:41] <Dez_Visir> <Smiles, looking into her eyes for the first time during the conversation> Yeah, not for this pilot...I've still got a job to do. <He looks away, leaning back against the bench>

[12:43] <Reve_Hunter> oh yeah, i have a job to do as well...

[12:43] <Reve_Hunter> guess we're both really busy hey?

[12:43] <Dez_Visir> Yeah, guess so...<Sighs>

[12:45] <Dez_Visir> Look, Reve...there's something we have to talk about.

[12:45] <Reve_Hunter> um..oh, alright

[12:45] <Reve_Hunter> sure, shoot.

[12:45] <Dez_Visir> I just wanted to talk to you, because, well, I wanted to let you down easy...see, you and I are from two entirely different worlds. You're a rich, jetsetting young lady with class and style...and I'm a pilot that barely gets any rest.

[12:46] <Dez_Visir> And well, I know you're in love with me, but I don't think it's going to work out...

[12:46] <Dez_Visir> <He's saying this all with a straight face, as if...he actually believes it.>

[12:46] <Dez_Visir> I know that I've been the best guy you've ever met, and that you'll never forget me, but you'll have to try.

[12:47] <Dez_Visir> Be strong, Reve...

[12:47] <Reve_Hunter> <is speachless>

[12:47] <Dez_Visir> <Takes her hands and gives them a reaffirming shake> Be strong!

[12:47] <Reve_Hunter> wait a minute...

[12:47] <Dez_Visir> Au revoir.

[12:47] <Reve_Hunter> YOU SIT DOWN! NOW!

[12:47] <Dez_Visir> <Goes to leave, but stops>

[12:47] <Dez_Visir> Hmm?

[12:47] <Dez_Visir> No, don't make this harder than it already is!

[12:47] <Reve_Hunter> ok...

[12:48] <Reve_Hunter> obviously..you're getting your information from the wrong horse, coz you didn't obviously didn't get it from this horse's mouth.

[12:48] <Reve_Hunter> I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU?!

[12:48] <Reve_Hunter> BAH!

[12:48] <Dez_Visir> Oh great, now you're in denial...

[12:48] <Dez_Visir> Not very healthy, Ms. Hunter.

[12:48] <Dez_Visir> <Sips his coffee confidently>

[12:49] <Reve_Hunter> ...now you're right, i am a trendy, rich, jet-set type girl...and yes, you're a poor pilot that got beaten up and ran away...but that's no reason to end our trivial relationship so soon...it could have bloomed into something...Casablanca-ish

[12:49] <Dez_Visir> Ran away?!

[12:49] <Dez_Visir> What? Ran away? I don't run away! I got taken away! I had to be restrained!

[12:50] <Reve_Hunter> yeah...in a stretcher

[12:50] <Dez_Visir> <Face starts to get red> You're just mad because you'll never have my heart! Well....that's too bad!

[12:50] <Reve_Hunter> Now, YOU listen TO ME, Mr Upstart i think i'm cool with my white hair and cool sunglasses. I was NOT in love with you...how could I be?

[12:50] <Dez_Visir> <Tosses the coffee cup at the trash can. It misses, rolls off the side, and makes a soft sound as it crunches against the artificial grass>

[12:50] <Reve_Hunter> I thought you were amusing.

[12:51] <Reve_Hunter> did you hear me? AMUSING

[12:51] <Dez_Visir> Still more denial. <Shakes his head>

[12:52] <Reve_Hunter> <is very angry now> I don't believe this. I can't see how you think you're letting me down...

[12:52] <Reve_Hunter> It should be the other way around...because really, You're just lying to yourself right now.

[12:52] <Dez_Visir> I know, I've got to be gentle with a tender heart, especially one as naive as yours, but....well, it has to be done my dear.

[12:52] <Dez_Visir> Now if you'll excuse me.

[12:52] <Reve_Hunter> YOU are obviously the one in love with ME, and you don't think you're man enough to take me on!

[12:52] <Dez_Visir> <Rises from his seat> Oh please....you're just making this harder on yourself.

[12:52] <Reve_Hunter> Naive....Tender heart.

[12:52] <Reve_Hunter> Harder on myself?

[12:53] <Dez_Visir> <Gathers his papers up calmly, and starts to walk away>

[12:53] <Dez_Visir> <Flips out his sunglasses and puts them on in a smooth motion>

[12:53] <Reve_Hunter> <runs up to him and tackles him down> I'm not done with you yet!

[12:53] <Reve_Hunter> <papers go flying around the small park>

[12:53] <Dez_Visir> Wah! <Drops his papers, and his sunglasses go sliding across the ground. He hits the ground hard.>

[12:53] <Dez_Visir> Ooph....<Wheezes> First your bodyguard, now you...

[12:54] <Reve_Hunter> <looks down at him squarely, her body covering his, and for a moment, she looses sense of her purpose>

[12:54] <Reve_Hunter> <shakes head>

[12:54] <Reve_Hunter> Let's just get things clear. I'm the one breaking it up with you. Alright?

[12:54] <Dez_Visir> If you insist...then again, who tackled who?

[12:54] <Dez_Visir> <Smirks.>

[12:55] <Reve_Hunter> <gets up and dusts herself off>

[12:55] <Reve_Hunter> I tackled you because you weren't listening to me. I had to get your attention.

[12:55] <Dez_Visir> <Sits up, wiping his sleeves off> Why bother...? It's not like it'll make a difference.

[12:56] <Dez_Visir> <Gets up from the ground, turning around slightly to wipe dirt from the back of his pant leg>

[12:56] <Reve_Hunter> <draws dez close to her and kisses him deeply, obviously he was lying coz he was responding>

[12:56] <Reve_Hunter> <releases him> good thing i'm ending it. You stink as a kisser.

[12:56] <Reve_Hunter> <walks away head held up high>

[12:56] <Dez_Visir> <His eyes shoot open, and he seems to be stunned>

[12:57] <Dez_Visir> What...the Hell just happened....?

[12:57] <Dez_Visir> I....uh......what was I doing....

[12:57] <Dez_Visir> <Looks around> Papers....right.

[12:57] <Dez_Visir> <Begins to gather them back up, still looking bewildered>

[12:58] <Reve_Hunter> <as she walks away though, a single tear falls...she wipes it away slowly, confused>...he didn't matter much anyway...

[12:58] <Dez_Visir> Well...it's a good thing I broke up with her....yes....damn good....

[12:58] <Dez_Visir> <Sits back down on the bench, reorganizing his papers>

[12:59] <Dez_Visir> Yes....it was a good thing......right?

[12:59] <Dez_Visir> <Shakes his head again, and goes back to reorganizing the papers>

[13:00] <Reve_Hunter> <continues to walk back towards the transport>...he was a good kisser though..

[13:03] <Reve_Hunter> <is now REALLY depressed>

[13:03] <Reve_Hunter> <sighs> man...this sucks. i'm back on the block again, and here i thought i wouldn't have to find someone new for at least a while.

[13:06] <Reve_Hunter> <walks aimlessly down the small streets and eventually ends up at some shacklike building with a rickity sign moving back and forth in the wind>

[13:06] <Reve_Hunter> Heartbreak Hotel Bar

[13:06] <Reve_Hunter> erhm...sounds a bit corny.

[13:06] <Reve_Hunter> oh what the hell...i could use a good stiff drink.

[13:07] <Reve_Hunter> <walks inside and finds the place devoid of people, save the bartender sleeping behind the bar>

[13:08] <Reve_Hunter> <sits down on a wobbly bar stool>

[13:08] <Reve_Hunter> Hey, bartender...can i get some service?

[13:08] <Reve_Hunter> WAKE UP!

[13:09] <Reve_Hunter> <begins to get impatient>

[13:09] <Reve_Hunter> Hellooooo?

[13:09] <A`Bartender> <Yes, ladies and gentlemen, behind the bar, half asleep, is one of those infamous bastions of sage advice and instant knowledge. He who knows all, and can probably solve all your problems, were it not for the fact that he doesn't truly care.>

[13:09] <Reve_Hunter> <bangs the bar counter>

[13:09] <A`Bartender> <Snaps up> What?

[13:10] <Reve_Hunter> I need a drink

[13:10] <Reve_Hunter> Make it a martini, extra dry, shaken, not stirred, and two olives please.

[13:10] <Reve_Hunter> <waits patiently for her drink>

[13:10] <A`Bartender> <Lowering his stance, he peers over the counter> Ya don't say. I was wondering why you came into a bar... <turning, he grumbles, shaking himself awake.> What, exactly?

[13:11] <Reve_Hunter> I said. A Martini...extra dry...shaken...NOT stirred...with two olives.

[13:11] <A`Bartender> <In seconds, through some invisble means, the drink is brought up from underneath the counter. You don't ask, and you try not to think about it.>

[13:12] <Reve_Hunter> <looks at the drink dubiously>

[13:12] <Reve_Hunter> um..that was a bit fast don't you think?

[13:12] <Reve_Hunter> I didn't see you shake it

[13:12] <Reve_Hunter> <shakes head>

[13:12] <A`Bartender> <Glares> Look, if you want to be pampered, you can haul yerself off this rock, and head to a colony. If you want the drink, you can stay here.

[13:13] <Reve_Hunter> whatever...perhaps the colonies have a different type of martini.

[13:13] <Reve_Hunter> <downs it in one gulp>

[13:13] <A`Bartender> Whew... that was fast.

[13:13] <Reve_Hunter> <shakes her head> WOW, that holds quite a punch there.

[13:13] <Reve_Hunter> I'll have another one please.

[13:14] <Reve_Hunter> <her throat is burning but she doesn't care, she's just wallowing in her woes>

[13:14] <A`Bartender> Fine. <He ducks, and the clanging of glass can be heard, and then snaps back up again in a few seconds. Shaking a silver mixer, he pours another martini.>

[13:15] <Reve_Hunter> <is now a bit confused> wait..you're shaking this one....

[13:15] <Reve_Hunter> um....you didn't the last one.

[13:15] <A`Bartender> Picky, picky....

[13:15] <Reve_Hunter> <again, downs this martini, in two gulps this time>

[13:15] <A`Bartender> So, why're you chugging this stuff down so early in the day?

[13:16] <Reve_Hunter> <puts the martini down slowly, her arm becoming suddenly heavy.> whoa..i should have eaten something today.

[13:16] <Reve_Hunter> <blink blink> early? it's afternoon, closer to evening if you ask me.

[13:16] <Reve_Hunter> so it's more late than early...

[13:16] <Reve_Hunter> mm...can i have a double scotch, on the rocks?

[13:17] <A`Bartender> That's relative. When you open in the afternoon, and have your heavy drinkers come in at night, it's early.

[13:17] <Reve_Hunter> while you're at it...

[13:17] <Reve_Hunter> can you give me some advice?

[13:17] <A`Bartender> Scotch? Sure then... <He turns about>

[13:17] <A`Bartender> <glances over his shoulder> Do I look like yer therapist... oh, nevermind. What's on your mind? <he sets the scotch down>

[13:18] <Reve_Hunter> <elbow on the bar, she balances her chin in the palm of her hand and looks straight at him> You're a guy right? <looks him up and down> yep, not a good looking one, but you're a guy..yep.

[13:18] <Reve_Hunter> <takes the scotch and begins to sip at it>

[13:18] <Reve_Hunter> ....why are you men such jerks?

[13:18] <Reve_Hunter> it's not fair to us unsuspecting women...

[13:18] <A`Bartender> <grimaces> Let me guess, you just got dumped.

[13:19] <Reve_Hunter> NO! <yells> I DUMPED HIM!

[13:19] <Reve_Hunter> no..

[13:19] <Reve_Hunter> yes..well..um, I don't know what just happened.

[13:19] <A`Bartender> <chuckles> Okay, okay... whatever. Anyway, perhaps this isn't really the best way to go about recovering.

[13:20] <Reve_Hunter> <head falls to the bar, and she bangs her head on the counter, face down her words are muffled> I REALLY LIKED HIM....<begins to sob quite pathetically>

[13:20] <Reve_Hunter> <her head comes up, a scary site, seeing as her mascarra wasn't waterproof, something out of a KISS video>

[13:20] <A`Bartender> <he frowns> You're young. So you ran into someone who you think you liked. Big deal. It's all part of growing up. Love and loss.

[13:21] <Reve_Hunter> Then how do YOU think I should recover.

[13:21] <A`Bartender> Eventually, you'll find someone. Jus' learn to deal with the problems that ya got now, without drowning yourself.

[13:21] <Reve_Hunter> I'm not that young...

[13:21] <Reve_Hunter> I thought he liked me too. Bastard. What a liar.

[13:21] <Reve_Hunter> Yeah! I shouldn't be depressed should i?

[13:22] <A`Bartender> <shrugs> Maybe he did. Or maybe you both thought you did.

[13:22] <Reve_Hunter> he's not worth wasting my time on is he?

[13:22] <Reve_Hunter> right? this is for the best right?

[13:22] <A`Bartender> That depends. If you're sure that you can move on, without ever feeling anything else towards this guy, then fine. Go for it.

[13:23] <Reve_Hunter> <frowns> yeah, i sure thought he liked me. i mean, no one likes me as it is, you tend to notice if someone is different.

[13:23] <A`Bartender> But, if you're in the mood to tank yourself up until you believe your own words, I'd give it some more thought.

[13:23] <Reve_Hunter> <thinks, head beginning to spin> uh..yeah...tank myself...run him over with a tank...good idea.

[13:24] <Reve_Hunter> <nods, finishing her scotch> I like you mr. bartender. you give good advice.

[13:24] <A`Bartender> <laughs> Already flyin' high... where are you stayin'? I'll call a cab.

[13:24] <Reve_Hunter> oh no..i'm not done here.

[13:24] <Reve_Hunter> I'd like one more drink.

[13:24] <Reve_Hunter> Just one more, to end my afternoon, and then perhaps i'll come back to meet your regulars.

[13:24] <Reve_Hunter> when it's even later.

[13:25] <Herusu_Hunter> <walking around the mining colony, again?>

[13:25] <A`Bartender> Oh boy.... well, take a break. Right now, you can barely hold yourself up.

[13:25] <Reve_Hunter> i'll have.....<looks at the all the bottles on the wall>

[13:25] <Reve_Hunter> I can hold myself up, don't be silly! <tries to stand up and then sits back on the wobbly stool, the legs giving in and she falls down onto the dusty wooden floor>

[13:25] <Reve_Hunter> oh...that hurt.

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> perhaps you're right.

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> <shakes her head, the cloudy feeling from the alcohol remains>

[13:26] <A`Bartender> <Looks over the counter> It would... tell you what, why don't you take a seat over there in the corner, and I'll get you some coffee. <He points to a darkened booth.> No one'll be by for awhile, so you can recover a bit.

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> i think, i need to go sleep...

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> oh, yes.

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> darkened booth

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> good idea.

[13:26] <Reve_Hunter> yes...

[13:27] <Reve_Hunter> thank you...<hobbles over to the booth, and conks out>

[13:27] <Dez_Visir> <And with that, the door pushes open, accompanying whoever pushed it is a thick cloud of smoke.>

[13:28] <Dez_Visir> <Dez steps in, sunglasses on even in the dark bar, and smoking like a chimney. He's put his papers back onto his ship, and he's pretty much finished up his investigation. Now...> Bartender, I want to drink until I'm blind.

[13:28] <A`Bartender> <he sets himself against the bar, and waits.> Lots of people... <shrugs> Good day. Well, we can certainly fix that.

[13:29] <A`Bartender> <Unfazed by the smoke> What'll be? <He turns to the shelves>

[13:29] <Dez_Visir> <Sits down on a stool, the one next to the place Reve was sitting, and puts his cigarette out into a tray> Black Death Vodka.

[13:29] <Dez_Visir> You got it?

[13:29] <Dez_Visir> <Wipes the back of his hand past his nose, looking around. He can't spot anyone...>

[13:30] <A`Bartender> Yeah... it's not too cheap, though. <he sets the bottle down, along with a glass.>

[13:30] <Dez_Visir> That's alright...I've still got my credit card with me....<Unscrews the cap and pours himself a glass>

[13:30] <Dez_Visir> Bartender....what is it with women?

[13:31] <Dez_Visir> They're just insane.

[13:31] <Dez_Visir> <Downs the Black Death Vodka like water>

[13:31] <Dez_Visir> Y'know?

[13:31] <A`Bartender> Ah, the victim of lost love. Well, sometimes. I know my wife is.

[13:31] <Reve_Hunter> <while dez sits in the bar, Rêve is in her own dream world, trying to concoct ways of making him regret he dumped her...she begins to murmur in her sleep, although the others can't hear her>

[13:31] <Reve_Hunter> ...<murmur> guillotine...

[13:31] <Dez_Visir> Ha, yeah....I mean, I met this incredible girl a while ago, and we hit it off, but....I broke up with her.

[13:31] <Dez_Visir> And I don't really know why. <Laughs, and pours himself another shot.>

[13:32] <A`Bartender> <nods> Well, somethin' must have went wrong.

[13:32] <A`Bartender> But, are you really sure that it did?

[13:32] <Dez_Visir> No, nothing went wrong...I mean....she liked everything I liked, and she was witty and beautiful, but.....I dunno.....I just was....

[13:32] <A`Bartender> An ass?

[13:32] <Dez_Visir> <Leans closer to the bartender> Between you and me, I was afraid, alright? <Leans back>

[13:33] <A`Bartender> <nods> You were an ass.

[13:33] <A`Bartender> So, what's to be afraid of. Pretty girl, both of you in love. Sounds like you're all set.

[13:34] <Reve_Hunter> <continues to dream>...mom..i swear i didn't take a cookie...

[13:35] <Dez_Visir> Yeah, but.....well, I used to go out with a girl like that before, and she left me...<Wavers, having finished off the shot and pouring himself another one> ...for some hot shot pilot....I figured, y'know...I'd get the upperhand this time. I wouldn't be the hurt one when we parted ways...

[13:35] <Dez_Visir> Not this time. Not the Silencer...oh no...

[13:36] <A`Bartender> Oh, you wouldn't be the hurt one. You'd be the one who goes to the bar, orders the most expensive bloody thing, and cries in it all afternoon. That's all.

[13:36] <Dez_Visir> Yes! Exactly! Now you see the beauty of my plan...

[13:37] <Reve_Hunter> <murmers, ironically thinking about his nick name as he speaks it> Silencer my ass...i'll..silence him.

[13:37] <A`Bartender> Okay.... <And he hasn't even had a glass...> well, how's it feel? I mean, if you're here, and you're not the hurt one, I'll bet she's in fantastic shape...

[13:38] <Dez_Visir> Oh yeah, she sure is. In fact, she said that she never liked me anyway. She said that I was amusing! Ha ha ha....

[13:38] <A`Bartender> Going by your standards... <thinks> Oh, she's probably tossed herself in front of a truck by now. She's the hurt one, right?

[13:38] <A`Bartender> Now, did she really mean that?

[13:39] <Dez_Visir> Oh, I'm pretty sure she did...

[13:40] <A`Bartender> Really? I'll bet you had some choice words for her, too. Did you mean them?

[13:40] <Herusu_Hunter> <walking around> where the hell is Reve?

[13:40] <Dez_Visir> Um......no.....<His smiling facade starts to fault, and eventually crumbles away to a serious expression>

[13:41] <A`Bartender> Exactly.

[13:42] <Herusu_Hunter> <spots a rickety old bar on the corner>

[13:43] <Dez_Visir> <Pounds his fist on the bar counter> God, I'm so stupid!

[13:43] <A`Bartender> So, why don't you at least think it over? I'm not saying drag yourself back and beg... my God, you'd be henpecked for life... <shivers> Just, stew over it a little. Don't write her off.

[13:43] <A`Bartender> <He goes back to sweeping, dusting the sign over the counter... Malt liquior: priced by the bottle, Specialty drinks: by the glass, Sage Advice: by the word.>

[13:44] <Herusu_Hunter> <walks into the dark rickety bar> damn, can't see a thing....

[13:45] <Dez_Visir> <Dez puts his head down on the counter, making a light "thunk" sound upon impact>

[13:47] <A`Bartender> There, there. It's not so bad. <shrugs> Just patch it up.

[13:47] <Herusu_Hunter> Doubt she'd be in a bar, but I've looked everywhere else <walks up to the bar>

[13:48] <Dez_Visir> <He looks over at Herusu...> Great, it's you...<Raises his head from the bar>

[13:49] <Herusu_Hunter> Huh? <looks over> oh you're that Dez guy

[13:49] <Dez_Visir> Yeah, that Dez guy...

[13:49] <A`Bartender> <Glances at Herusu> Children and dogs wait outside.

[13:49] <Dez_Visir> Ouch...that's the breaks, kids.

[13:50] <Herusu_Hunter> You seen Reve today? She said she was going to meet you somewhere <looks to the bartender> what?
