Oh, don't do this now, baby brother. I'm here to give you some information, possibly about your bawling baby and your own end. Think of me as your own personal God. All I wish to do is help in whatever way possible. *he rises to his feet, casualy walking to meet Katayk. He looks down at him, for he was always taller. He was grinning devilishly.* You want to save her?

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Katayk looks up at his older brother suspiciously, still not removing his hand from the hilt of his sword.

"Say what you have to say."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

I'd love to help you. I've already started helping Rose. She's seeing how things really are, and how much more beautiful they can be. I've also been helping another certain person's son to see the world in a new light. Rose doesn't want to be found because she is now speaking my words, seeing through my eyes, and hearing through my ears. Torn images of harsh family life disappears from her now. She dosen't know pain, she dosen't feel fear. In a way I've become her father. *he appears behind him, whispering in his ear* I've taken her to what we like to call wonderland. *he reappears in front of him, not moving his lips but his voice booms in Katayks head* We are all connected. I'm teaching Rose and the other boy, the boys father seeks to kill me, I seek to kill everyone, and the circle continues with the fathers son and your daughter playing freely in wonderland. I can take you to her.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

"Your...lying. Rose would never turn to you, Sadik! She told me what you did to her, you vampire!" Riki snarls and takes a step closer, her eyes glowing with an eagerness to battle Sadik, who is beginning to appear as the fear-beast. Since the sane part of Riki's mind already fears Sadik, the fear beast seems to be in full power.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

*he grins sadisticly, closing his eyes* Rose obviously told the truth. You and her don't know each other all too well. I would gladly show you to her, if you'd open your eyes a bit more and stoped being so weak. *he steps up to her and grabs her throat, lifting her in the air* Still the cowardly baby dragon we once killed. *he drops her and smiles again* If you really wish to risk your daughters life and try to tempt me, go ahead.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

She rubs her throat and glares at up at him. "Show me my daughter. No tricks."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

As you command, princess. *a small black portal with what looks likes vines tries to reach and pull Sadik in but the shrug off and a picture of Rose sitting in a Castle with her eyes fixed onto the floor strangely. Dreaming, as it were* There you are, mistress. Your prude daughter is fine.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

"Wh-where is she? What have you done to her?" She stares at Sadik, her eyes filled with fear for her daughter.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

She's fine. *the portal starts to close as Rose begins to giggle and finally the portal is sealed* I told you, I've shown her what you couldn't give her, being her mother. *he removes the garb from his mouth and just as before, the decay of skin is still there, his vampiric teeth gleaming through his shredded lips and cheeks* It's too late for you to save her, if thats what you plan on doing. Waking her from her dreams will only force more hatred onto you. *he walks behind the counter of the bar and begins making some hot tea* Still though, she's fine as long as the boy's mind dosen't crack. I've been quite worried it would here soon.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Oh, don't be frightened. Here, have some of this. Calms nerves, believe me. *helays a tea cup on the counter filled with tea* It used to calm my nerves when I coul taste it, everything tastes like ash or murkey toilet water to me besides flesh and blood now. *he pauses to search her thoughts as she sinks down. He grins to himself and begins to speak* You needn't worry about me laying a finger on her. What you shoul do is try to find out if Cloud's boy is feeling any better. I told him to wait outside before I came in ever so quietly. He should still be there. I promised him his pop would show here sooner or later.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

She takes the cup and downs it in a gulp. Seeing Ayn wake up, she thankfully turns her attention. "Mornin, sunshine. How you feeling?"

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Rikali notices Katayk's sudden mood swing. Speaking a word of excuse to Ayn, she sneaks up behind him and puts her hands over his eyes.

"Guess who."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Katayk let go of the dagger and it stayed stuck in the wood. He cleared his vision and took hold of one of her hands.

"I'd know those hands anywhere..."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Sensing this, Riki is suddenly somber. "There's nothing we can do, Katayk. Although I'd much rather rip my tounge out then admit it, Sadik is right. I ran away as a kid and I'm sure you did too. She'll see the nonsense in this and come back."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Katayk was ready to argue that he had not run away, and stopped as he realized how he could spark another stupid arguement.

"I know he could take me to her, he just doesn't want to. He enjoys this."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

"Of course he does, he's a cold, heartless monster. But even if we could get to her, would you want to come back? Leave, apparently, a land of sweet dreams for a family and life that in her opinion doesn't care about her? She ran away once before and nearly lost her life. I thought that she wouldn't do it again..." Her voice trembles.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

*he grinned and shook his head as a boy in grey, baggy clothing comes in quietly and walks to the counter, looking down*

Sadik: Sit down, Reeve, sit. *the boy does as commanded*
Now, you see those two grown-ups over there? *Sadik points to Katayk and Riki* They are Rose's parents. Remember her?

Reeve: She's the girl I see in my dreams..

Sadik: Yes, now why don't you ahve a word with them?

Reeve: ..okay. *he stands and slowely drags himself to the table Katayk is at and sits*

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Katayk picks his head up off the table and glares at the child.

"What do you want?" he spits.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Ayn stares blankly at Riki. "......How long have I been here?"

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

"'Bout a week, maybe less, maybe more. I don't know for sure. Wasn't here when whoever dumped you in a closet. What happened to you?" She glares at Reeve but lets Katayk deal with him.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Reeve: You wanted Rose? *his voice is cold and absent of any emotion. His one Blue eyes and one brown eye glare straight foreward, never looking at Katayk* I can tell you more of her.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

"Say what you have to say then."

Katayk stares into the eyes of this boy and begins to trace his unfinished carving on the wall with his finger.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

If you don't want to know, fine. *he turns and begins walking back to the counter*

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Seeing Reeve leave, Rikali glares at Katayk. "Wait. What can you tell us?"

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

*Reeve stops dead in his tracks and begins to speak* She in another world. I created it. Everything I would ever want. *his eye twitches as he sees something dart across the room, visible on to him* I created it only for myself... but It seems kids like me... or people with a very expandable imagination can come in too. Through their dreams. You can't go to her as you are, if you really must take her from her paradise, then you must learn to dream as if you want nothing more of this world. I cannot tell you how it will be for you, the experiance. It may be beautiful... *he looks around* ...or mad. I cannot tell you how my Wonderland is. It changes by the day. *he turns and walks to her, stopping and sitting on his knees* I wish my father never left me here alone.. *he begins rambling on about uncertain things and childish horrors, completely ignoring the fact anyone else is on the planet besides him*

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

She sighs slightly. "It's somewhat of a long story.. I'd rather not talk about it right now." She groans as she forces herself to stand and stumble over to the bar.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

*Sadik acts as if Reeve wasn't there, leaving the boy to them for answers*
So, Ayn is it? What'll it be? *he chuckles, wrapping the gard around his lower face onve more.* I was wondering when you'd wake up.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

She arches an eyebrow. "Just some water, please.."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

*he takes a small glass from a shelf behind him and fills it with water and hands it to her* You sure you wouldn't like any Tea? *he cracks his knuckles and watches Reeve's motions as the boy stops his rambling and sits at the bar, a seat away from Ayn*

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

"I'd rather drink something which I have a small idea of what's in it, thanks.." She sips the water.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Am watches the Reeve, Sadik and Ayn from his couch and leans over the back of it. He leans to far and flips off. "AH!" Am lands flat on his back and stares at the ceilling. "Think I'd be more graceful here."

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Rikali stares at Reeve. This all seemed so surreal. Her daughter, visting some imaginary place that this teenaged-nothing created in his mind, her husband turning back to old habits, having to take advice from Sadik. "I've got to be dreaming." She mutters under her breath.

Re: Tri-Link's Cafe V
 

Am sits up and decieds that nothing to intresting will happen at the moment so he scampers off to the large pool inside the cafe. "Heeeeeeeellooooo Mr. Alligator." The gigantic plastic alligator surfaces and looks at Am. "Want to be a reeeeeeaal alligator?" Am attempts to snap his fingers and fails. He frowns and tries again. Fails. Frustrated, he stomps and the once fake alligator turns into a real alligator. "..Well that worked. ^^;; Just don't try to bite people in half."
