superslack, and anyone else who wanted to come. The listed are the ones who have agreed to the log already, but the post is open.

Summary; Refer back to this post. Amadeus tries to force a break on Evelynne, who still seems too preoccupied with leaving the city by use of doors. With the help of the others, he gets her to Room 13 in Building 7.

Log;

He hadn't expected it to be easy to get her to leave. Amadeus had almost expected to have to smoke her out, actually. But after a collective effort on his part and several others, he had succeeded in pulling Evelynne out and to the "beach."

He didn't once ask why there was a beach in a room in a building. He didn't even let it cross his mind. Right now, his first priority was to get Evelynne to unstress and unwind. The very idea that she was the one who was a ball of nerves for once didn't seem right - it didn't flow with the natural order of the world, even if this was some strange alternate universe that had no working sense.

"This is it," he said, looking the door marked 13 up and down. Halls here felt endless and limitless, and to the right and left was mostly lines of doors and fluorescent lights that somehow faded into darkness instead of an end. Not giving it another second of thought, he turned the knob and pushed the door open for the others.

The problem with the final question, Amadeus found, was context or lack thereof. He pored over the words, hoping for any sort of clue to the hidden meaning.

"Gelo che ti dà foco e dal tuo foco più gelo prende," he repeated under his breath, once and twice and three times over. "Candida e oscura. Se libero ti vuol ti fa più servo. Se per servo t'accetta, ti fa Re."

When all else failed, Amadeus could only use logic.

"Ice which gives fire and which fire freezes still more," he translated, dropping a few words for sake of brevity. "White and dark. If it allows you your freedom, it makes you a slave. If it accepts you as a slave
it makes you..."

Without finishing, he glanced back towards the ocean, spotting Evelynne as she plunged in after Rabi, shouting profanities and curses.

"I can only guess from here," he admitted, sitting up again as he looked back at the paper. "The princess was a cold one, however, turning down and killing all men who failed the test. This much I know. The man who answered correctly, Calaf, was never deterred by such a fact, and his passion only intensified with her distance."

He paused, an expression of concern on his face. "Paleness was beauty, and as such, it could be said she was white. She was also dark in her ruthlessness. Only the correct answers would gain freedom, but freedom was being tied to her in marriage...and marriage led to being crowned monarch." With the last of the riddle thought out, Amadeus smiled again, almost humored by the way the story worked.

He looked up at Sunny and answered, "The answer is Turandot."

"And that would be the final correct answer." Sunny said, sounding noticeably impressed.
"Give yourself a cookie, Amadeus-san. Not bad, especially for a guess."

"It was mostly a matter of deduction," he defended, setting the page back down on the beach towel. "There was no chance of my guessing the answer if I had not known something about the opera itself. Though seeing the words in my language helped immensely."

"Well then, your deduction skills are fuckin' impressive." the assassin complimented.

"So tell me, how are you familiar with the opera?"

>

"My parents, of course," he replied. "Both were Italian. I was never told the full story, however. Which seems a pity, now that I know the answers."

(OOC: Good night!)

"I see. That makes sense." Sunny noted calmly. "Well, you can always catch it sometime, I'm sure. They might even have a video of it lying around somewhere. We can try and find a copy or something..."

Amadeus nodded, making a kind of noncommittal sound of agreement. Back home, he was sure he could find the opera somewhere, but the thought of returning home distracted him more than the thought of the opera. He glanced over his shoulder again towards the group that had gone into the water.

"They're likely to regret that later," he said to no one in particular.

Shao quietly listened as the two conversed. "I'm glad I didn't answer. I would have said dry ice as an answer. I guess the answers were more metaphorical than physical." Silently, Shao marveled at Amadeus's deducing ability. Well, he did have the advantage of knowing Italian. Shao smiled, before turning his attention to Jenos, who was slowly advancing towards them.

Jenos advanced toward the shore, as stealthly as a ninja. Or at least in his opinion. Ninja's didn't exist back in his world, so he had deduced what 'ninja-like' would be from his observations of the City. Sunny and Amadeus had ignored his last warning. It was time, for action!

ooc: aka, Jenos is attempting to drag them into the water. Your thoughts?

Sunny paused in thought. "Though, it's partially my fault. The English translation I have is alot more simplified." she confessed. The assassin's eyes followed Shao's line of sight to the other Chronos member stalking up from the shoreline.

"He wouldn't..." she breathed, eyes narrowing dangerously. "He wouldn't fucking dare..." Her hands tightened around the handle of her parasol. If Jenos was coming, Sunny was gonna let him have it.

ooc: Sunny will fight tooth and nail! Throw her in at Jenos's own risk!

Shao didn't answer. He knew Sunny had spotted Jenos, and wondered if he would have to act as damage control. "Sunny? Would you like me to-"

Before Shao could finished, Jenos ran towards Sunny, and yanked her arm forward. "Sunny! You're swimming no matter what!" Jenos ignored the parasol, and concentrated solely on dragging the assasin girl towards the ocean. "It'll be good for you! Fun!"

ooc: Short, but ... ITS ALL GOOD DX

Sunny's eyes went wide in shock and fury as she felt herself flying forward against her will. "LET GO OF ME, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" she roared as she tried to smack her captor with her parasol.

ooc: Oh yeah? Well, mine's shorter XP

Who knew parasols could hurt that much? Jenos winced each time the parasol hit. It was worth it though. Sunny needed to lighten up (in his opinion at least) and swimming was a sure fire way to do that. "Sunny! OW! Come on! Ow!"

"Let!" WHACK! "Me!" WHACK! "Go!" WHACK! "IMMEDIATELY!" The girl yelled, punctuating each word with increasingly brutal hits with her parasol. "I don't want to swim and YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!"

Hell would freeze over before Jenos let Sunny go. He held onto her doggedly, even with the increasingly amount of whacks he recieved. It was only a bit further to the ocean, anyway! A little pain could be tolerated if he achived his goal of getting Sunny wet. Besides, Rinslet's punches had hurt more. A lot more. It wasn't a fair comparison, he decided. It also wasn't a comparison he didn't want to undertake. Hey Sunny, could you punch me please? I want to see something. Hell no.

"We're almost... ow! ... there!" Only a few more feet to the ocean! Only a few more feet until he achived his childish goal! Only a few more feet until the parasol whacking stopped!

The sound of the ocean waves was getting louder and Sunny could feel the damp sand between her toes. It was only a matter of time before he'd get her in the water, but not if she could help it. She'd kill him. She'd definitely kill him.

"LET GO OF ME, HAZARD-SAN!!" she screeched, sending the parasol against the base of the man's neck with a satisfying crack.

Ouch. Jenos was sure that if the parasol had hit just a bit harder, it would have broken his spine. He let go of Sunny, and tumbled forward into the ocean. His neck smarted like hell, but no cry of pain or anything close to it would come out of his lips. It would have been unmanly. Girls didn't like men who wimpered.

Of course in his tumble, Jenos accidently caught his foot on Sunny's leg. The only thought that went through his mind was "Oh... damn." This wasn't going to end pleasently, was it?

Sunny grinned triumphantly, as Jenos let go of her. While her poor parasol was a little worse for wear, it was definitely worth it. Now all she had to do was turn around and head back to-- what the?! The man's foot had hooked her leg and she was falling forward.

SPLASH~

The icy water enveloped her until she pulled her head out of the water, gasping for air. Her white dress now clung to her shivering frame, the white hairbows in her hair now sagging unceremoniously, soaked with seawater. Now that Jenos had gotten his wish, Sunny was definitely going to make him pay.

Jenos pulled himself out of the water, and shook off like a dog. Had Sunny fallen with him? He wiped his wet hair out of his face, and took one look at Sunny before laughing. So she had fallen with him! Sure she didn't look too happy, but Jenos was sure she would get over it soon. "Hey Sunny! That was fun, wasn't it?"

Shao stood up quickly on the shore. Jenos had gotten Sunny wet, but the girl didn't seem too pleased. He only hoped he wouldn't have to play peacemaker.

ooc: and... guten nacht! ♥ finish tomorrow? D8

Fun? FUN?! The assassin was burning with enough fury, she could have raised the ocean's temperature a degree or two. Lunging, the girl went for Jenos's neck, so she could force his head under the frigid water. If-- no-- when she'd get him down, how long would it take until he drowned? Sunny was determined to find out.

"DIEEEEEE!!!!!!" The girl roared, gripping his neck and driving her thumbs into his adam's apple.

[ooc: GUTEN MORGEN LIEBLING~ ♥]
