Meanwhile, back at...wherever it is that Kei is living (presumably with the others.)"YES! YES! GO YOU LITTLE BEAUTY!!" Gordon screamed at the TV as lound as his picosounder could manage as the Arsenal players passed the ball through the bemused Liverpool defenders. The score was one-nil in Liverpool's favour, and Arsenal needed to make this goal in the next 20 seconds to tie it and take the game into a penalty shootout. "Earlson passes to Blackhall," said the commentator, "Blackhall to Yörgen, Yörgen back to Blackhall, he makes a move- oh no!" From the side a Liverpool player tackles the ball from Blackhall and he falls hard. "This looks like it could be a penalty- wait, no! No, the ref is allowing play to continue!" "WHAT?!!" "Liverpool's in possession now! This could be it for Arsenal!" "C'MON REF!! ARE YOU BLIND?!!" "They're streaking past Arsenal's defence! This looks like it could be a-YES!!!" Half the crowd went wild, the over half went even wilder as Liverpool brought the score to 2-nil in the final seconds. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!" "NO!!! YOU MISERABLE F-" Back in the tavern"Gordy's back at home. Said he had some catching up to do, world affairs and that." said Kei, "He's been out of the loop for 10 years, fair deal I think." Kei leans closer to Ash while Machaeus and Kalyy'ya are busy talking. "Were you just talking to someone? I heard you say something, and I thought I heard someone answer." ((I can't really post in the other RP just yet, Mach you should take the next post. I'll worm my way in don't you worry. Kaly is welcome too  ))

"WHAT!", Ash shouts surprised through the whole tavern, again attracting the attention of every person here.
He leans over the table like Kei does and thanks to his now messed up depth perception, he comes so close that their noses nearly touch.
"What?", he begins again, this time quieter than before, "You heard her? I mean... the voice? You heard her too?", Ash asks Kei, trying to get her entire face into focus.
"Hey. Thats a good sign. After Lucy...Ali...All...star..."
He mumbles something and rolls his eyes again with an annoyed expression. Obviously because he cant remember Lucy's last name.
"Well... After the woman disappeared, and I REALLY mean disappeared... Cant point that out enough... I thought that I am just crazy. But if you really heard her too, we must both be crazy. And that is highly unlikely, isn't it? I thought that I am the only one who can hear her. But this raises the question how YOU could hear her, even though she did not spoke to you directly."

Kei is a little taken aback by Ash's sudden rantings, and his proximity.
"I don't know...I said I thought I heard someone else. It's hard to explain...my kind can hear very well," she swivelled her large pointed ears, "but we can also pick up on telepathic communications. Some of us better than others."
She fidgeted.
"That gift runs stronger in my Mother's family than normal. I got some of it, but not as much as she did. I can't control it, I can't choose when and where it will decide to act, but it happens. So is that what this is? Telepathy between you and this 'Lucy'?"

"Wish I would know. I think it started with this d@mned headache I had on the way to new eden.", Ash says, sounding a little disappointed as he slides from the table back into his chair.
"I guess you could call it telepathy. Another thing that confuses me is the fact that she asked me about the headaches. And that she said that I managed to "talk" it in a short amount of time. However. She will drive me crazy, if I am not already."
He lets his hands slide through his messy hair and sighs.
(( Cut out the last part since I was totally In-Character as I posted this... If you know what I mean. Also, I was reading the previous RP´s, like I often do when I am bored.
Seen "Doctor Who" on TV for the first time a few days ago. A remake if I am not mistaken. Now I get the "Doctor Who / Dalek" reference. Whoa. I know that I am slow. But this... New record. ))

((Not exactly a remake, this is a new Doctor Who. The Doctor can regenerate his body when it is badly damaged; but not only does this mean he looks different but that his personality changes too. Guess the original writers knew they'd have to explain all the different actors. I could go on for hours about Doctor Who, so I'll stop myself. But if you ever have any questions, I'm your nerd.))
"Hell everybody's crazy in their own way Ash, just some are a bit more crazier than others." She winks at him, "I don't think you qualify as totally crazy, not if I can hear the voices in your head too."
She looks at Mach and Kaly.
"You two done reminiscing, or if not can't you take it on the road? I wanna get back and get some decent planning done before this op."
Kei then leans under the table and prods Urufu with her foot.
"C'mon sleepy head, I'm not going to carry you home."

Ash stands up, staggers to the counter, slams some bank notes on it and was just about to leave, as the barkeeper shouts something after him.
He mumbles something and walks back to the counter. If you can even call it walking. Ash and the barkeeper begin to argue about something, before Ash gives him more money.
"Well. It was worth the try."
Outside the bar, Ash takes a deep breath and stretches while he waits for the others.

Urufu walks out and shuts his eyes. "Ow. Awful bright after being stuck in that dark room."
"Last I checked with the Man In Charge, hangovers are His way of saying 'you have a drinking problem'," Machaeus says, following him out. "And it's not that bright out here, the sun's entirely hidden by storm clouds."
"Great, and me without my umbrella," Kalyy'ya snorts.
"You don't like that umbrella."
"Doesn't mean I won't use it when I need to."
"...whatever. I don't recall a forecast with any sort of storm clouds, though...not for a good distance from here. Too far for a simple wind to have blown them in, I think..."
"Freak cloud buildup," Kalyy'ya sighed.
"Alright, fine," the mage shrugs.
(Sorry I've been gone, just distracted, really.)

(No probs Machy)
Kei looks up into the sky expectantly.
"Do you think it'll rain? Man I hope it does!"
She danced around on the sidewalk excitedly.

"Oh man.", Ash mumbles, staring at the excited Kei.
He shakes his head and looks into the sky
"d**n that weather. Anyway. I think I will go straight home. Need to check the equipment. As soon as the world stops spinning, I mean. You should probably do the same."
That said, he walks off, nearly falling down two times until he stops at a nearby street light. There he slaps himself a few times and mumbles something before he continues to walk.

"So, what? Do we stay together or do we meet up tomorrow?" asks Kei.

Ash turns around, a little weak-kneed and spreads his arms.
"Slumber party at my house?", he shouts. Then he laughs. And then it seems as if he would start to cry.
"No water, no electricity and a hole from the roof straight through the first floor into the living room."
I hope it wont start to rain soon...
Ash clenches his fists and raises them toward the sky with an angry expression.
"Couldn't you drop it in the backyard?!?", he shouts at the sky, before he falls.
Lying on his back, he looks at the others.
"To answer the question... It´s up to you. All I want is a bed. Now."

"Ok, that settles it."
Kei walks over to Ash, bends over him and -with no apparent difficulty- lifts him over her shoulder.
"You're comming home with us. I'll make you up one of my guaranteed hangover cures," she sniffed Ash, "but first I think a visit to the shower is in order."
She begins walking down the street, Ash hanging over her shoulder.
"You can sleep in Rufi's bed, if you don't mind a little fur in the blankets."

At first, Ash tries to resist as Kei picks him up. But in his state, this almost seems impossible. After only a few seconds, he gives up. He knows that she is strong. But that strong? That surprises him.
"Nah... Fur... in my... mouth? Eeew...", he mumbles, pointing at Urufu.

Back at...wherever it is that they live (Can someone clarify that plz?)
"Hello you lot," Gordon, currently in his remote unit form attached to an arm periferal (holding the TV remote), greets everyone as they come through the door, and sees the shambling gait and unfocused eyes of the drunker ones, "ere', whats doin'? Been in a bar fight?"
Kei, now supporting Urufu with one arm and steering Ash with the other, lets her two friends fall onto the couch.
"Nah, just the bar part." she says.

"Hey hey hey. Don't think anything wrong about me. I am not drunken... Just... tired? Yes. Thats the word. Tired."
Ash is probably one of the worst liars on earth. And again he proves that he is worth that title. He looks confused through the room, looking for the person the familiar voice belongs to. After several seconds he sees Gordon. Or in that case the remote with the attached arm. Ash raises his hand to form the victory sign with his index finger and middle finger and holds it directly in front of Gordon.
"Gordon! Already done with the... whatever you wanted to do?", while saying this he looks at the Gordon's arm.
"High five!", he shouts, holding his palm into Gordon's direction. But then, all of a sudden, his head snaps back,followed by a loud snoring.
This night Ash wasn't haunted by nightmares. He did not dream at all. Maybe because of the alcohol. As he wakes up, he scratches the back of his head, wondering where he is.
"d**n... my head... What happened?"
His hair looks even more messy than usual, as if something exploded in them. He rubs his eyes, stands up and stretches, as he tries to reconstruct the events of yesterday.
"Oh holy sh... What time is it!?!"
