Setting: The Bar [OPEN]

[Arael Hiroshi]

Ari listened to his speech in silence. Occasionally nodding her head. She watched Koshiro in concern while he was talking. Arael heard a cold and sharp edge to his voice, one she didn't necessarily like, but she wouldn't say anything.

She smiled when he asked how she was and commented on the sword. "I'm doing well, thanks for asking! I'm slowly getting used to being around people again. I didn't realize how much I missed it. Even Zax and Yachiru's bickering can be nice sometimes. It is definitely amusing." She laughed.

Looking over her shoulder to the hilt of the sword strapped there, she spoke "Yeah, thanks for the gift. I've taken to wearing it more often. Although I can be pretty clumsy with it when I draw it."

"So how are you? How is Rai treating you in your training? I've seen you a couple of times, and you've looked pretty exhausted."

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Theres a reason for that, here let me see...." he began ruffling through his bag. A few seconds later.
"Aha!" He pulled out of his old bag a belt, modified to hold a sword. And handed it to Ari.

"Its not meant to be worn on your back."

If and when she put it on he would gesture for her to stand with him. If she did he would then teach her the proper way to draw and sheath a sword such as this.

After they sat back down (should she choose to stand in the first place)

"Ive been great. Training hard with Rai. I have to be the best I can be if im to help out at all. He seems to be grooming be to team up with Zax."

[Arael Hiroshi]

"Oh! That makes sense!" She exlaimed. She gladly stood up to let him show her how to do it.

Then they sat back down and started to talk. Koshiro told her about training and Rai's grooming. "Oh, that is interesting. And how is this pairing working out for ya?" She asks with a completely straight face.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"It is........fascinating......he is an unorthodox character. Also...met his friend....George is his name, and I know "he isn't real" boy are you in for a surprise when you get back to Rai's." he said as he drank his scotch.

[Hone]

Everyone in the bar would feel a presence. Waiting. Staring...

[Arael Hiroshi]

"Oh? Should I be scared to go back to Rai's now? She asked humorously. She shivered slightly at the odd... Presence she could almost feel. She glanced around the bar, but didn't see anything unusual.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

....I know this feeling. I felt it before....hmmm.

He would speak as though nothing was different, as if he had been expecting it.

"Hello George. How are you this evening? Still hiding I see. Well you cant hide from me remember haha!" He chuckled like he was talking to an old friend.

Weather or not George sat down with them he would continue speaking to Ari, as though nothing were out of place.

"Oh no. He's quite nice. A gentle creature from what little I observed." A second of silence.
"Oh I found something else new." He would create a light orb. Then squish it in his hands and pull.

A literal string of light would hang between his hands. He played a little and then held it out.
If Ari touched it, it would feel real, her hand would not pass through it. If not he would let go of both ends and the light would disperse as if he had let out a bunch of fireflies. After a second or two they too would fade away.

[Hone]

Zax burst in. "Hey, guys! I've never been to a bar! I've always wanted to! I could really use some vodka!" Zax smiled. George would slowly walk in behind Zax. He looked at Zax. "I have to! No, I can easily handle it! Psh, whatever! You want one to? It won't kill you! Whatever." Zax sat next to Ari. "How are yall?" Zax smiled as he looked at both Ari and Koshiro.
George slowly sat next to Zax and kept quiet. He would look at anyone who spoke.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Like I said. Hello George." He looked at Zax.

"Hi Zax. Oh by the way. Ari. This is George." He said gesturing to the man that sat next to him.

"No I have no idea how this happened. All I know is I accidentally "created" if you will. Another person. More accurately. I pulled him out of a dimension that parallels out own. That only light can pass into and out of. Or so I had believed.

[Hone]

Zax shook his head and chuckled. "But Ari have already met, goofball!" George looked at Zax. "How could she not see you? What Koshiro said is just plain crazy!" Zax laughed.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"How did you get there George?" He said with a puzzled and interested look.

[Hone]

George looked at Koshiro, yet nothing happened. Then he turned to Zax.

"Wait, what?! All of that stuff is true?! That's impossible! So my friend has been some kind of person outside this dimension?! Wha- bu-how-it's-" Zax kept looking back and forth from George to Koshiro. "George says to tell you that by my idio- HEY!" Zax snapped toward George. "It was not an idiotic reaction! Anyways, George says to tell you that by my COMPLETELY NORMAL ACTION you can see you were correct," Zax said staring at George.

George took a napkin and looked around. He walked over to a table where you could sign up for a job and took a pen. He walked back over and wrote on the napkin. It said:

My friend here is not very intelligent, as you may can observe. He does not understand the mater of dimensions and outer realms. But thank you for bringing me to this realm, and I'm sorry for frightening you.

If Koshiro unfolded the napkin there would be more:

I was trapped in a realm of nothingness, and all that existed was I. I could not speak, for sound could not travel. So now I have been silent for so long that I can not make sound again. However, a phenomena happened that brought part of me into this world, but to only a certain number of people. The doctors in this realm call these people 'schizophrenic'. For every schizophrenic person, there are one of us. We each have our own 'room' you could call it. We each also have telepathic powers with a certain person. Zaxinous here was one of them. But now here I am, able to feel emotion, able to feel the world, because of you. Thank you, my ally and companion.

He would gesture to Ari that she could read it if she wanted.

Where as Zax was still boggled and confused.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

He read the note and smiled.

"I'll see what I can do about that speech thing. For now you should rest. This dimensions gravity and environment may be more than your body can handle. Yiu need tine to adjust." He would look back at Ari and hand her the note.

"While I dont claim to be an expert. I did take some science classes in college. Between jobs that is. I have a small understanding of interdimentional plains. And the fact I was able to manafest a portal to one is all the more amazing. Though I bet it has something to do with this man. I'm guessing that he had some pull toward this side because he has walked it before. I still don't understand how he got there....."

[Hone]

George nodded at Koshiro when he said he should go rest. He turned to Zax. "Alright, see ya later, man." Zax said. George would walk out of the bar. Zax would stick around just because he had nothing better to do.

[Arael Hiroshi]

Ari watched the proceeding with wide eyes. Zax walking in with someone he kept talking to like it was... George??? Her eyes grew wider as she received the note and read it all the way through. She just nodded her head to what Koshiro said. She didn't hear a word, this George person just blew her mind.

After a few seconds her hearing came back into focus, and she heard the last couple of sentences from Koshiro and Zax's farewell to George. She just shook her head mutely.

Well then... Looks like I missed something at Rai's. Might telling me what happened? Is there gonna be a new person in the house?
