Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed)Reaching the Summit Mt. Frappe, a place not for the faint of heart. There were many other planets in the Rugged North but none as revered as it. The legends told of many things, few of them good but one promised a great reward. A supposed leftover artifact from the Tuffle's past on Earth, a technological marvel that could radically change the climate of the scientific world. Though a rumor it did captivate some minds, most definitely did it capture Dr. Soap's curiosity. A very bored individual he would round up a group of travelers to stage the expedition, and so they began! Five men, all dressed head to toe in protective gear against the cold. Before climbing the mountain they all stopped in a town nearby the bottom of Mt. Frappe. Soap looked at all the members of his crew available, all of them around his age. "If you've any doubts or mixed feelings, now's the time to speak up." A great silence loomed over the people in the group, they all looked at each other. One of the people in the group would speak up, this one a woman slightly older than Soap. "You think the legend is true?" Soap looked back at the woman, laughing. "There's really only one way to find out. Alright on me crew!" The group proceeded to climb the mountain, already at a rough start due to the harsh terrain. The weather although peaceful seemed to have some kind of imminent feeling to it. The group would pause, taking a short break on the mountain side. The same woman would speak again. "Something feels off.. Is that just me?" Another crew member this one a man would scoff at her. "You've got to be kidding! You're probably just paranoid. We're already so far to start doubting things." Snow lightly began to pick up, but they expected this much. Perhaps it was just a lone thought with no ground however, the group continued climbing. The group would try to further their progress, staying on the main path the mountain seemed to naturally have. In the midst of their peaceful weather a massive snowstorm picked up. Growing more and more dense within mere minutes, a field of white just beyond their eyes it was impossible to make see. Soap yelled as hard as he could to his crew. "We'll have to setup camp! Its too dangerous in this weather to go any further!" One of the crew members shook his head, pointing towards something in the distance. "Don't you see that?" The person seemed to be pointing at a sign, it read: Town! One Mile. The part that said its specific name seemed to be missing on the sign, a large portion of the writing from the sign scratched off. "There might be shelter in the town!" Yelled out the woman from earlier. "You're right! Let's go!" After a long walk the crew stumbled across the town, though not abandoned there seemed to be very little life. People running back and forth into their respective homes, without taking another glace. The houses being merely glorified cabins. There seemed to be a larger one however, by the looks of it a kind of tavern. They walked into the cabin, hopefully getting themselves accustomed to the people in the bar. Whatever or whoever they saw would be a mystery, they didn't care about that. The prospect of shelter was too great to ask questions. |

The town upon the MT Fappe was an ideal place to lay low, the demon and his group having taken up refugee in a cabin outside of town. It wasn't ideal but it would suit their needs while they tried to keep the bounty hunters off their trail, though they had to earn their keep. Which as humiliating as it was, they needed to get jobs. It was just a temporary for certain, yet they were not able to dispute such an idea of needing money to stay out of the cold. With so little people upon the mountain, Sensoa was free to aid in the jobs of their desire, making him perfect for the job they had in mind. He was hauling cut down trees back to the town on a regular basis, giving the town plenty of access to wood if not wet wood.
How the weather behaved up here, he was forced to bring some of the logs inside, albeit chopped into much smaller pieces. Currently the demon was within tavern, his large form visible among the many people that were inside the building. He was currently arranging chopped wood at the front door, away from the customers and kept his back turned. It was when strangers entered the tavern that Sensoa grew weary of the surroundings, knowing that this place shouldn't receive guests often. He kept his eyes on the ground, occasionally looking over his shoulder at the group that entered.
It was then that Barban exited the back of the Tavern, an apron on his belt as he went about his business with liquid fluidity and grace befitting a butler of three hundred and ninety nine years old. He took orders, took plates and cleaned tables in record time compared to the waitress who was clearly growing envious. He paid her no mind, his one good eye taking note of the people he had served and those who were new. He too had noticed the group who had entered the building, being weary as he approached them.
"Care for a seat? Also while you are being seated, what would you like to drink?"
Barban would ask, the other waitress walking up before giving a cute smile. He would leave her to seat the group and he would get their drinks in the back.

*BURP* "More please!" Mito's tiny hands slammed on the table with a bit more excessive force that caused it to wobble. They had to give him a tall stool like they give little kids who try to sit at the adult table. The waitress quickly walking over to his table after meeting up with the newcomers who walked in the tavern. She began writing down what he playfully decided to order next. From anyone's point of view, Mito's table looked like a pigs sty, stacks of plates with barely any food remaining on them except for the excessive grease that remained in the meat. It was the only trace that there was any food on there at all. But it didn't stop there, half-eaten plates, dented metal forks that came from being chewed on. And a large assortment of broken glass cups.
It was left in this state because whenever someone offered to clean it up, Mito kidly detested them. Stating that he enjoys seeing exactly how much he's eaten. To track his progress. As the temperature inside the tavern began to drop due to the front door being open again, Mito received a slight chill that was expressed through his hands shaking.
"Is it possible to order a blanket?" "Y-you want to order a blanket?" The waitress answered, looking a bit more confused than worried about the strange request.
"Yes yes, a blanket! It's cold!" He raised his hands. "And more of that uh..." He frantically looked around the room before pointing to the table. "I want to order whatever he's having." It was a rather elderly man, eating this rather large turkey leg. "Yes sir right away." The waitress hurried off once more leaving Mito to himself. The wait was killing him. His stomach still grumbling like he didn't eat anything at all. He began to lean down, and take a nibble out of the table itself.

"Looks like it's time to get started!" Yogu says to himself, packing up his bag and leaving North City. His travels had taken him up north for a single purpose, to train! There aren't many ways to train that are as effective as fighting against the elements! So Yogu decided to put on a light coat over his normal clothing and brave one of the biggest, coldest mountains on Earth! "Hmm... This could be a little dangerous. ... Nah, the legends couldn't be true! Even if they were, I'm not a girl so I should be fine. And if it gets too dangerous I can just fly back to North City!" After a few hours of traveling, he stood at the foot of the mountain. "Alright, I should be fine. It's not like my luck would be bad enough for a snowstorm to hit just as I'm getting close to the peak!"
That was exactly what happened.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Yogu shouts to no one in particular. The snow was coming down hard, and he was absolutely freezing. He was covered from head to toe in the snow, and when he tried to fly back down the mountain, the wind picked up and forced him back to the ground. "WHY?! I didn't see anyone else climbing the mountain! There shouldn't BE a snowstorm!" Dejected, Yogu would have to make his way back down the mountain on foot. It was just too dangerous to travel to the peak like this. So, he began his march back down. On his way back down, he came across a sign and a group of footprints in the snow. "Huh. Guess people have been around here." When he read the sign, he was a mix of relieved and angry. "ONE MILE?! At least there's a town on this mountain... Maybe there's an inn I can stay at and get some good food! Yeah, a nice comfortable bed and some soup!" After getting over his anger, Yogu happily made his way to the town.
When he got there, he was very disappointed. "This isn't a town! It's just a bunch of cabins!" Yogu almost decided to turn back and head down the mountain, but then the wind picked up and the snow nearly buried him. "Okay, I guess I'll have to find an inn or something..." After stumbling around the cabins, he found a tavern! Yogu opens the tavern, and he's covered entirely by snow. He almost looks like a snowman. He calmly shuts the door, and then collapses on the floor, throwing snow everywhere! After a few seconds of just laying on the ground, enjoying the fact he had warmth again, he jumps up. After looking around, he sees that there are plenty of tables and seats at the bar. The place isn't very populated. There was a group in front of him, a weird... bug-thing? And some people who looked like they were locals. He didn't really know who worked at the tavern, so he just walked over to the side of the group of five and asked everyone over there, "Hey can I just stay here until the snowstorm's over?" Right after, Yogu's stomach lets out a loud rumble. "Oh! And some food."

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed) The various people entering in the crowd left Soap most curious, a colorful cast of folks of all kinds. Different walks of life all under the tavern's roof, it captivated him the way the tavern seemed to be so lively. A thought ran through his mind, if not only briefly. "Living here wouldn't be all that bad. Maybe..." Sat at a table with his other crew members he gestured for a waiter. Crew and all they each ordered whatever was available, to their dismay it seemed that not much was available so they took what the got. Soap re-ordered, changing what they were supposed to get. One of the members, this one a man spoke up. His voice was gruff and somewhat older than Soap's. "Mystery meat, seriously? How come we aren't eating like him? Look at how much he's been eating!" The crew member pointed at Mito, his face showed great displeasure at how well the person was eating. Soap sighed, shaking his head at the crew-mate who spoke earlier. "Its one of the cheapest things available, if we're gonna stock up on food. We'd do best to buy the cheapest and most plentiful food, the journey ahead is a long one. Remember this. We're low on money, if you really'd like to buy something go pay for it yourself." The man looked back at Soap, presenting a face that seemed to imply heavy disagreement. "Fine, I'll go and see what else this town has to offer." Soap returned the look, sighing. "Suit yourself, I'll stay here in the comfort of the tavern." The man stared at the rest of the crew, gesturing for them follow. "I'm going to buy better food, who's with me?!" His team began leaving one by one, exiting the door as the cold entered the tavern. Snow seeping in as it was held open as the final one looked back, shrugging their shoulders this one a female crew-mate. "Sorry." And with that the final one left he was left alone in the tavern among strangers. The environment grew much more foreign as silence followed. Yet another thought arose in his mind. "I suppose I should socialize while I'm here at least.." Soap looked at the given people around him in the tavern, aiming to strike up a conversation with the people surrounding his table. Not talking to anyone in particular. "So what brings you people to this town, I take it some of you aren't residents like me."Sensoa |

Sensoa had been in the corner, the suddenly liveliness of the tavern making the demon slowly straighten up before looking over his shoulder at Yogu. He remembered the boy from the events at ship and gave a long drawn out sigh. His troubles seemed to just follow him even up the side of mountains, so he might as well get this over with. Sensoa would then walk over to the counter where the inn keeper was working hard to get things sorted and he would snatch up two drinks. Barban on the other hand was working his hardest to get everyone situated. The Lupine butler doing his best to take orders and swing from table to table as he delivered food in a quick and timely fashion. Sensoa would walk past all the groups, standing directly in front of Yogu for a moment. He hoped the boy wouldn't cause an issue or raise a fuss as the demon handed him a drink. It was alcoholic so he could only hope the boy drank, before gesturing with his head toward the table nearby. From there he would take a seat with or without the young lad Yogu. Should the boy take a seat Sensoa simply shrug his shoulders and smile. "You can stay as long as ya need if you don't cause trouble for the people here."Barban however would be still as busy as ever until finally he would end his little table dance by putting the turkey on the little bug man's table. From there he would bow politely with his hand on his torso and another behind him. "Here is your turkey and-"He would then pull out a blanket from what seemed to be no where at all. He had used magic to materialize a wool blanket for the little bug creature. "Your blanket it. If you need anything else please do let me know."From there the Lupine butler would set his focus on the group who had abandoned one of their crew mates among the many strangers. He didn't have anyone sitting with him and knowing his charge could cause problems the demon butler wanted to keep the man sitting at the table pre-occupied. So Barban would stand by the man's table and smile a charming smile and his only good eye shining a friendly look. "Can I be of assistance sir?"Meanwhile Hyuki made her way to the bug creature, both of them being rather tiny she had decided to meet this unique creature. She would scurry about the tables, weaving between feet until she jumped up onto one of the chairs at the bugs table before giving a friendly wave. "Well aren't you a curious little thing. Where ya from?"The little cat woman placed her hands on the table, still standing in the chair. She could easily put her chin on the table with how tall she was, and was barely able to see around the turkey. |

Mito was being very patient, his hands lightly tapping on the table while his legs playfully kicked back and forth as they hung off the seat. In the time it took for him to get his next meal, a lot of individuals began showing up more and more into the tavern. By the way, things were going this place would be packed in no time, and with the storm outside it seemed like no one would leave.
Feeling the weird eerie feeling that someone was looking at him, he turned over his shoulder to see someone pointing in his direction, it was this person in an even larger group. "Oh gosh..what did I do this time?" A tight sting in his stomach, Mito felt like he was in trouble. A taller guy with an all green attire and a black hairdo. All that green..it was perfect! It reminded Mito of himself and that man had style.
His attention quickly adverted back to the sound of the metal plate clanking on his table. He was even brought his blanket. "Thanks!" Mito raised his hands in celebration, grabbing the cover first to wrap himself as the plate was slide closer to him. "Thanks again, mister. I think after this I will be heading out."
The man nodded before another waiter coming up to him. "I'll be giving you your bill." He left to go grab it.
"Huh? What's a bill?" Mito thought to himself while gnawing hungrily at the turkey leg. Closing his eyes to savor the flavor.
"Well aren't you a curious little thing. Where ya from?" Hearing this, Mito began to glance around before eventually looking past the giant turkey leg to see a little cat on the other end of the table.
"Hey! Who are you calling little?" He pointed the turkey leg towards her. "I'll have you know I'm extremely tall." Forcefully taking another bite out of the turkey leg as his eyes squinted at the cat. "I'm from everywhere and nowhere at the same time-sike I was born in a lab." Playfully kicking in his seat as he took another bite.
The waiter had returned and slid the long slip of paper across the table towards Mito before reaching into his pocket to pull out a pen. "What's this ?" Mito asked, looking a bit confused. "It is your bill sir."
".Mmmm--......My what?" "It is your bill, you know. It keeps a sum up of all the items you got while you were here. That you pack back with ." Mito watched as the waiter's lips moved in slow motion
"M-O"
"N-E-Y"
Mito gulped in his seat, he had to get outta here.

Right after Yogu asked his question, he was greeted by the demon from Ginger Town. He was shocked and almost tried to punch the monster in the face. Then he remembered where he was, on top of a mountain in a small town during a snowstorm. If this guy had his energy lowered to appear weaker and Yogu suddenly got wrecked by him, he wouldn't be able to run and get help. He'd die on the mountain. Even if the Demon was weak, he didn't know if there were other members of the WTF in the Tavern. The Demon hands Yogu a strange looking drink. He felt like he had seen it before, but couldn't quite place when he had seen the drink. It sort of seemed like the Demon wanted Yogu to follow him to a table, so he did. When they sit down, Yogu props his feet up on the table and leans back into his chair. The Demon says that Yogu can stay as long as he doesn't cause any issues for the Town. " Why would I?! I'm not A PART OF THE GALACTIC ARMY WHO'S TRYING TO CONQUER-" Yogu stops himself. It probably wouldn't be the best idea to out this guy as a member of the WTF. Instead, he quietly sits at the table. After looking over the strange drink for a moment, he takes a sip of it and immediately regrets his decision. He spits out the liquid and starts to gag. " What the hell did you give me?! Is... Is that alcohol? Why would you give me alcohol? I'm seventeen! This shit's disgusting!" Yogu calls over the wolf-like waiter. " Hey, can I get a cola or somethin'?" He then waits until the waiter leaves, before leaning into the table. " Alright, I won't cause any issues if you answer my questions about the WTF. Got it?" Yogu looks over his shoulder to see that the group that came in before him all left. Except for one. " Did they get into an argument or something? Weird. I feel kinda bad for that guy. Maybe I should join him on the way up the mountain. Once this snowstorm clears, of course." Yogu props his feet back up on the table and waits for the Demon to give an answer. While he waits, the guy who's group left asks everyone why they're in the town. " Huh? I came here cause of the Snowstorm. I was climbing the mountain for training. I was kinda dead for a bit so I've been walking around the planet trying to get used to being back in a body." Yogu turns his attention over to the bug-thing, interested in what it actually was. He hadn't noticed until now, but there was a lot of food on its plate. It also just seemed to have realized the food wasn't free. Yogu turns back to Sensoa, waiting for an answer.

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed) The man finally received his plate of food, it all looked like unrecognizable slabs of meat with the occasional dash of greenery. It was by far not the most appealing thing he's seen but regardless he still picked at the food. To his surprise, upon trying it it wasn't that bad! Its aesthetics deceptive of the real flavor behind it, even with that deceptive nature he still had his feelings about the meat. He went on to take yet a few more bites. "I've had worse, oh well." With everything going on around him he was temporarily shocked by the reply thrown at him. So engulfed in what was going on around him. "Deceased for a while, and here you are aiming to get used to your body again? Now I've many questions but I think they'd be best left unanswered. Are you sure you don't drink?" Soap laughed a great deal, til the point where it felt artificial. He killed his awkwardness by going back to his meal, taking a swig of what seemed like some kind of alcoholic beverage. A pint-sized glass in hand that he occasionally drank from. Meanwhile it appeared that there was another dilemma going on. Someone wasn't going to be able to pay for what they had bought, with a spirit willing to help the situation Soap held himself back. Rather curious to see what would transpire should he hold himself back. Leaving things to their own desire. He looked back at the teen, replying to him in very rushed manner. "I come out of pure curiosity, this mountain bears some strange mythology."

Sensoa gave a hearty laugh at the young man's reaction to the alcohol, the boy spitting it out before throwing a fit. Barban on the other hand didn't find it as funny, quickly moving over to the demon's side before slapping him on the back of the head. The demon's head jerking forward before giving a sore look to the Lupine Butler who then simply gave a bow to Yogu with a "right away." Barban quickly heading to the counter while Sensoa grumbled a bit before taking a drink from his glass, watching Yogu with a frustrated growl.
"Listen kid. This people are innocent, I'll answer your questions just... don't go hurting anyone."
Sensoa then got comfortable in his chair, leaning forward with his elbows upon the table and his eyes fixed on the boy.
"I'll answer what I know but I only work for em. So if you are hoping for dark secrets ya are out of luck."
Another drink from his glass and a look around to the civilians who were eating or drinking causing him to give a long drawn out sigh. He didn't want his problems to effect the people up here on the mountain but it seemed that he couldn't live near anyone else this would happen. It was a shame too, Sensoa was fond of the hunters stories. His green eyes then fell on the bug who seemed to freeze up, Hyuki also noticing that as well. The tiny cat woman rolling her eyes as she pulled out some zenny from her jacket and placed it on the table for the waitress to pick up. She then placed a hand under her chin while watching the tiny bug creature. He was unique certainly, being able to talk and everything. Was he an alien or was he something more? The tiny cat demon couldn't help but smile as he waited for the bug creature to start eating.
"This time I'll pay just... tell me what you are. I am curious."
Hyuki leaned onto the table by putting her elbows n it, her hands resting under her chin while she waited for an answer. Barban returned shortly with a cola for the young man, placing it on the table next to him before giving a small bow. Soon Barban would return to his duties of going from table to table to make sure everyone was well situated and happy. Meanwhile Sensoa continued to watch the bug creature till he looked to the boy. The boy was dead a while it seemed but the most important thing was Sensoa was the fact he was here.
"what do you want to know boy? I'll answer what I can. Not like I have anything better to do."

Even within the cover, Mito's body felt a bit cold, but he was already formulating a plan to escape. "Okay, first I'll throw the turkey leg in his face, and do a double backflip to the table behind me. Punch a guy, start a bar riot, and escape in the chaos. " He thought to himself, a slight glimmer flickered in his eyes. "The perfect plan..Now to put it in action." Grabbing the turkey leg, his tiny arm flexed but stopped at the sound of Yeni being placed on the table. It was the cat lady, so nice.
He watched as the waitress took up the money before giving Mito a glance, he gulped when she began walking away. "*Phew* Thanks cat lady." Dropping back down in his seat still holding the giant turkey leg, he jammed his face into it, took a large bite, then yanked his head back. Completely removing any trace of meat in one large clump that he ate without much effort. He was like a bottomless pit. The only thing that remained was a large bone.
"tell me what you are. I am curious."
Waving the large bone around in front of him he before pointed it at the cat lady. "Normally I would be like NO, and a strong no. But since you helped me out I guess I can give you this kinda information." He was holding the bone up beside his head as if it was big enough block the sight of him, and hide him and his secrets. He began to whisper across the table.
"Can you keep a secret?" His eyes shifting left and right at the room around him. Not bothering to wait around for an answer. "I'm a bio-android, sent on a very special mission. You can say I'm like a secret agent..a super agent...If bees had knees I would be them." Pressing his tiny hand on his chin. "Oh I mean I'm the bee's knees...No that sounds dumb I like how I said it."
