Log;

Funny. Doumeki never thought he'd be turning 18 in this City...granted, he didn't think he would have been stuck in this City this long. Almost a year, now...give it until the end of the month. In reflection, one might consider his time here one long, drawn out dream from which he was occationally awakening from, only to slip back into it.

But he wouldn't trade his time here for anything.

There were enough valuable things here that he had learned, people he had met, friends he had made...events that had changed who he was as a person, and caused him to grow and change.

The archer let out a huff as he leaned against one of the doors to the Hot Springs, looking out at the path, waiting for others to arrive. He had lived here for a while, too, so he was familiar with the grounds.

It was odd...had he become comfortable here? Well, maybe comfortable was too strong a word. Amid the friends and the memories created, the City still often had it's thorns that were rather hard to miss, as they still pricked and stung every now and then--curses, fights, wars, death, destruction. But then, Doumeki supposed, there were these things in any world you went to, the City just packed it all into one small package. Not to mention people disappearing and reappearing without their memories. It wasn't the easiest thing to deal with, but Doumeki ahd learned to adjust.

However, at this time, he shoved all that aside, shaking himself out of his musings. There would be time later to contemplate. Right now, he had to be on the lookout for guests.

[ooc: wow...did not mean to turn that into a small ode to the City ._. but whatevs. CARRY ON >_>]

Doumeki gritted his teeth, skidding to a stop again using the wall, his own mind recalling nearby secret passage ways--there were a ton of them below the hot springs. So he turned again, darting down another hall and into a closet, shutting it quickly behind him, before pushing open the back wall of the closet, pulling his shirt over his head and tossing it down passageway before closing the door again, throwing his scent the other way. Next his hand reached over to quickly flip the switch that would open the trap door under his feet, landing in a crouch on the floor beneath, before he hit another button to close the trap door again, before taking off down the secret hallway.

This all happened within the span of about twenty seconds xD.

Through Greed knew about many of the passages, he didn't have the time for them. He simply tore through the same path Doumeki used the hard way. Or the easy way, for him. He couldn't run forever, he was still a man, after all.

"Better move quicker, Doumeki," he laughed, armoring his body as he hurled himself through obstacles, never losing his grip on the panel of oakwood he carried with him.

Not forever, maybe, but maybe he could go hide behind someone. Like Yuuko or Fai-san ._.

So with teeth gritted his speed picked up, jumping off the edge and onto a slide that had a steep decline before quickly picking up speed, enough to shoot him, feet first, out of another trap door and onto his feet, back to regular floor level, before he took off again, back towards where he started.

Man, this was fun! He hadn't gotten such good exercise in awhile. He followed close behind, choosing to simply jump the incline, rather than slide down it.

"Keep it up, kid. Maybe we should make a tradition of birthday laps, too! We're gonna' tear up this whole area!"

At least he hadn't seen that priestess woman yet.

Doumeki's eyebrow twitched slightly at Greed's retort, but his eyebrows rose slightly as he spotted Yuuko, and he pushed the last of his reserves, speeding up even more, coming straight towards her, sliding to a stop, and hopping comically on one foot a bit to stop himself, before ducking behind her, hiding behind mother's skirts, in a sense xD

Greed skidded to a stop, momentarily distracted by Yuuko and the dawning realization that he was naked. He quickly covered his crotch with the paddle.

"Hey Yuuko, I see ya' have somethin' I need to take care of."

Yuuko saw Doumeki race toward her, breathing hard, and stop short behind her. What he ... hiding? Arching an eyebrow in silent inquiry, she glanced forward again to see what it was that had him in such a state, only to come face to face with a certain homonculus... covering himself with a paddle. Putting two and two together, the Witch smirked and tilted her head to one side pointedly, raising her arm slightly in a shielding gesture.

"Take care of, Greed-kun~? And what would that be?"

In Doumeki's opinion, when things got bad, there was no shame in hiding behind your metaphorical mother ._. Which was exactly what he was doing, peeking over Yuuko's shoulder a bit, warily.

I need to give him his birthday paddles and he won't take it like a man.

She felt Doumeki shift behind her, and saw him peer over her shoulder suspiciously at the man she was facing. It was rather endearing, although his height advantage over her made it somehow comedic as well. Indulging in a small laugh inwardly, Yuuko kept her eyes on Greed.

"Now now, Greed-kun, I can't just hand him over to you for that. Besides," she continued, smile curving wickedly, "you appear to have another, more immediate use for the paddle right now."

"Yeah," he shrugged, defiantly hefting the paddle up and tapping it against his palm, "But I'm getting less self-conscious by the moment."

He glanced at the other male with an amused glint in his eye.

"Besides, it won't hurt TOO bad."

"Hit him with that Greed, And I'll knock your head into another universe." Came a rather unhappy, feminine growl; The blonde nun watching him with a less then amused expression on her face as she held a couple bags to her chest, wrapped in festive colors.

"And cover yourself up, No one wants to see that."

Doumeki blinked, straightening a little on instinct in surprise at her appearance.

"Rosette." Her name, as usual, was said with an added-o at the end, making it sound like "Rosette-to" xD

The girl's arrival broke whatever tension there had been, and while Yuuko did not turn to look at her, she did shift subtly, lowering her arm, and study the girl out of the corner of one eye. She recognized her, but only vaguely; their one meeting had been a brief one.

Yuuko said nothing, remaining silent now that she sensed her role here had shifted to a periphery one. Not that the Witch particularly minded, of course; so long as it proved to be interesting. Which, she smirked, no doubt it would

Greed turned to her, fully uncaring about his sans-clothes state of being, and crossed his arms.

"Please, you couldn't hurt me with those scrawny arms."

She carefully finagled her packages aside and drew her gun from her waistband, quirking an eyebrow before aiming at a particularly exposed and sensitive area, and pulling back the safety.

"Clothes Greed. NOW."

Doumeki made no move to stop her, only folding his arms and raising an eyebrow.

Likewise, Yuuko also opted to sit this one out on the sidelines. She caught Doumeki's eye and raised one eye at him, tilting her chin ever so slightly towards Rosette in a silent inquiry, a small smile playing on her lips.

NOW this was getting interesting. He had to wonder exactly how far away Joshua was right now. If he came, it might mean payback for what he did to Faye.

"Ha! Gimme' your best shot, ya' whiny prude!" he yelled, dancing around in front of her, "Go ahead! Pull the trigger!"

A vein was now throbbing freely on her temple, and she growled low in her throat. She didn't have time for this shit, and she lifted her gun quickly, shooting him in the forehead. It wouldn't kill him, but it should sting.

And then she shot him in the groin. Multiple times.

Doumeki opened his mouth to respond to Yuuko, but he was quickly cut off by the sound of gunshots, and he blinked. Anyone else, and he might've winced in sympathy.

It was unto this scene that a gift-laden Riou finally wandered, having followed from a distance the mirage of Doumeki and some streaking guy through the temple grounds. A mirage, obviously, because naked tag did not particularly strike him as a party game Doumeki would be inclined to play. At least he hoped to heck not!

". . . . ." he said eloquently.

Greed had been waiting for her to do it. He KNEW she was a hot-head. The moment he saw her finger twitch, he activated his shield. The blows were still more powerful than he expected, the head shot knocking him off balance and the lower shots doubling him over.

"That's pretty funny," he growled, standing up, "But if you're quite done, I have things to take care of."

May it be noted that Doumeki still hadn't actually moved out from behind Yuuko, even as he turned, lifting a hand to Riou in greeting.

"Yo."

The gunshots didn't faze Yuuko, but anyone who was close enough and looking would notice small crinkle marring her brow. Games and teasing were all well and good, but she did not particularly care for an all-out fight to break out; this was a night to celebrate Doumeki's birthday, not a bar room brawl.

At Riou's arrival, the tiny frown smoothed over, quickly and easily, and she nodded at the boy with a smile in greeting. "Riou-kun~"
