Seaheart walked in, hair ruffled from years of unkemptness. He walked into the hotel, figuring for once he could actually have a bed to sleep on. He didn't sleep much, but for the task ahead he'd need it. He dug deep in all of his pockets, pulling out money. He looked at the woman taking room orders and said "I want to rent a room for an unprecedented amount of days, but I think it will only be a week at most. This should cover it." He said gruffly, setting $2,000 dollars, not caring how much it was. He then sat down with a sigh on one of the chairs in the lobby, just looking at the ceiling, key in his hand.

Zhane followed the giant in front of him, giving a small smile to Mouse as she gave off a quiet sound. A hand reached up to pet mouses head and noticed not alot of people were in the lobby except for the man he followed in. Mouse moved from one shoulder to the other now fully draped around Zhanes neck when Zhane reached the check-in counter. He looked around for a moment trying to find out where the person had went that checked in Seaheart. "Hello?" His words were questionable as the cat around his neck became limp for a moment before ZHane's powers came to be. An instant duplicate of the cat apeared beside Zhane as he leaned heavily on the table.
The imaged cat moved quickly through the lobby, hiding in every darkened spot it could, looking around he noticed a woman sitting at the bar, the cat gave off a quick meow before returning to Zhane and the real mouse. Almost instantly the image returned to Mouses form and Zhane waited to see what would happen.

Seaheart grunted a little as Zhane came in and the cat moved around. Duplication of yourself and others....not much use except for hiding unless you were a good fighter. Well. might as well grab a drink to take up with him, then start heading to bed. He sat down at the bar, only requesting a water. He figured he might a well wait a little bit. At a bar, interesting things and information was revealed....

Zhane waited for a few minutes, giving a gruff sigh and turned to the cat, who was giving him a stare with a firm meow. He shook his head to his cat when the cat nudged Zhanes ear and let her head hang down Zhanes chest. Almost instantly the cat's claws gave way and the cat fell to the ground. "You okay Mouse? See what you get for being smart?" He laughed slightly as the worker had finally came to the desk and the cat instantly disappeared from view. "One room.. just for tonight... I want something not too big... but not small... I'm expecting to move tomorrow into my new place, but I just got in for the night..."
The worker nodded and checked the list of the rooms that were available. "I think the only room we have that would suit you is.. number 13... Cash or credit?"
"Umm... YOu take Credit? Cool...I was afraid this little town would only except paper, but I've got both... Here... I'll save the cash..." He said tossing down a credit card with his name on it. He waited for a moment and could feel Mouse pawing at his leg to hurry. Zhane shook his leg quickly to give the cat the sign to quite bothering him at the moment and the cat ran down the hallway towards the rooms.
"Here's the key, sir... is there anything else we can do for you?" he asked as Zhane quickly took the key and ran down the hall chasing after the cat. Out of view of the worker at the desk, he called out for Mouse. "Mouse... Mouse.... Where are you?" He asked as a couple came out of their rooms, giving him strange looks. "What? Mouse is my cat.... I know... but I was a kid when I named her!" The couple shruged their shoulders but couldn't help but stare at the kid again. Finally, catching up with mouse, Zhane picked her up and took her to the room they'd be staying in. "STay here Mouse... I'll go get some food and i'll get you some water... can't have you running around or they'll know I've got a cat in this hotel!" He said as mouse let out a long cry and jumped on the bed watching as Zhane left the room.
"That cat is going to get me kicked out of here." Walking back to the lobby, he noticed that guy was sitting at the bar and the woman had left. "Hum... Wonder if they have fish sandwiches? burgers?" He finally placed himself beside the guy he followed in giving him a quickened smile. "So... have you ordered yet?" He asked trying to figure out what would be best to order from this bar as the bartender got his order.
"Just.. a burger... and umm... water I guess. Do you guys have like fish Any kind?"
"We have a fish fillet sandwich...?" The guy asked with a nodd as Zhane agree'd to the order and the guy left his sight. "Have you just come into Dotado or you been here a while.. I"m trying to find Graphen st.?"

He was a little annoyed as the man started asking him questions. Well, alot annoyed him, but that was just him. "Yes, I just ordered this water," He said as he quickly used his extra vision to check if it was poisoned. Hey, you never knew. Especially with him. He then took out a small little pouch strapped to his pocket, put the water in there, and drank from it a little heavily.
He then looked at Zhane and said "Yeah.....yeah I'm new. And no, I don't know where Graphen St. is." He lied, though with the same gruff voice he used before. You'd never be able to tell. But he was sure that it was one of the streets where he had once took refuge in during the war.
"Excuse me, can I get some red wine? Thank you." He said when the bartender started to get it. He remembered times when he had had any wine, knowing it calmed his nerves. He'd need it to get some sleep tonight. He asked, without looking at Zhane "What's your name and what are your powers? Creating duplicates or something." He said gruffly as ever, taking the wine and taking a sip of it.

"Well this town is dull." Olive muttered as she dragged herself down the inn stairs and towards the bar. Running a hand through her wild blonde and black hair, Olive peered over at the only two people seated at the bar. "Hmm...why not. Lets see what adventure will be instore." siddleing up a seat next to Seaheart, Mrs Twiin slapped her hand down on the counter top and smirked, "Shot of whiskey." she said smoothly, crossing her legs and resting her chin in her hand.
Eyes glanceing over at Seaheart and Zhane, Olive noticed how secretive and fake sounding Seaheart was and that Zhane curious as a cat. (Lol) Nodding her thanks to the tender, Olive drained the whiskey silently then sat the small class back down on the counter. "Tender, I'm starting to sufficate, mind turning the a.c on?" she asked sweetly to the man. He raised his brow and stared at Olive, "Miss, if it gets any colder in here we'll freeze to death." the tender chuckled.
Olive returned the chuckle with a light laugh and replied, "Speak for youself."

He didn't even pay attention as the new girl came, nor that she was making jokes with the bartender and saying she wouldn't freeze to death. Okay....gifted obviously. Next....time to use his logic. Either she had heat powers, or was immortal. Nah. Immortals were from the olden times....and certainly didn't dress goth. Still, she might just be joking. Probably heat, chemicals to adjust body temperature, or had a hard time dying. He didn't even look at her, focusing on his wine.
Still....she could be annoying if she made any more cracks about not freezing to death. a slime puddle developed into his hand without him even trying, then jumped down onto the ground, heading toward the A.C, then, when at the A.C panel, it turned into a hand, and turned the knob, making it colder. The hand then lay there, as if sleeping and just waiting for orders to wake up and adjust it some more.

Olive's eyes caught the flash of silver, and watched as the a.c. was turned even higher. Raising a brow and slipping her hand around another shot of whiskey, Olive looked foreward at the bar's mirror and murmured out of the corner of her lips, "Thanks. Nice little trick." and then she downed the drink her eyes flickering over to Seaheart in the mirror's reflection a smirk on her lips.

Zhane nodded to him seeing that he was a little distant on his actions with him talking but passed it off as he waited for his order to come back. A glace over saw that he put the water in some kind of pouch and Zhane raised an eyebrow subconsciously and returned his gaze to the inn. Such a wonderous inn to be in until he was able to get his house.
"Sorry man, Didn't realize that you were new as well... I was just wondering... " He said with a monotone voice. Zhane instantly let a yawn escape his lips and thought back to mouse wondering what she was doing in the room. Hopefully not tearing everything down or scratching up the bed, but he knew her better than that. His attention was suddenly drawn to his question without hesitation. My name and power? Well, gets right to the point doesn't he? Why should I say anything? Ah, well.. mustn't make enemies in a new town.. but my powers? Make them sound as good as possible...I suppose He cleared his throat a moment before speaking up. "Names Zhane... and I don't just create 'duplicates'... I take the essence of 'said' and create a fine copy... that I control..." He said as the man came back with his food. Zhane handed him some money and wrapped the fish sandwich up in a towel.
"And I didn't catch yourname... and power?" Zhane passed a glance at the girl who had complained of the air being too hot.

He grunted at the girl, just ignoring her. Somehow, she seemed less important. If you made enemies with her, it wouldn't matter. He cast a glance at Zhane after he copied what he had said. His name is Zhane and he can take the essence of anything and control it.....He had to make sure of something. He looked at Zhane seriously and said "Don't you dare try to take my essence. What will come out of it is.....well, it will be complete and utter....Chaos." He said, whispering the name a little.
"By now, he'll be waiting for you to try to take him. He's an essence that you won't be able to control, understand? Maybe not. Just don't try it on me." He said, saying it with a little passion. He had enough problems without Chaos' essence, whatever it may be, running around, continuing his rule of destruction that was too long ago.
He then seemed normal again, as if snapping out of a trance induced by him, asking the waiter for two more glasses of red wine. He then muttered to the girl "It's no trick. It's my gift." He then looked at the counter and said to Zhane "My name is....." The government would probably hunt him even more now, so better make something up. "Starrum." He said, figuring name himself after what he and the rest of the Guado trie were infatuated with. "And my power is metal slime. That's all." He said, not mentioning the shadows, and the vision was hardly useful anymore. The less people knew, the better.

Olive listened to their conversation quietly, occaisionally picking up another shot and downing it. /Hmm..He's very touchy about his, "essence", wonder why?/ Pausing in mid drink when he spoke to her again, "Gift?...Aw so turning the a.c. down is this gift of yours?" she said the sentence with a smile then drank and turned in her seat to look at him. "I'm dreadfully sorry to intrupt your nice little chat, but might I ask a questions to the both of you?" Olive leaned on the counter and swam her eyes over Starrum and Zhane. "Oh yes, and I'm Olive...Olive Twiin." a smile spread across her lips and her eyes squinted up with joy.

He squinted at her and ignored her sarcasm. He'd taken enough sarcasm from Epic and Ven to just flat out have no sense of normal humor at all. He downed the two glasses of wine and still not looking at her, said "Ask away, but you may not get an answer. I just plain don't trust anyone in this room is because your drunk, the other guy controls a somewhat dangerous power, and bartenders are too nosy, so that's one reason, and the rest of my reasons are confidential." He said boredly, turning around the glasses of wine. He figured get the explanation over with when she asked questions that he didn't answer.

"Bartender's are too nosey aye?" Maya asked nonchalantly. She didn't even know who she had been talking to, for the only glimpse she had of him right now was the back of his red and black head. In her hands was a broad circular tray. "That's a new sterotype for me," She said flatly, brushing one of her whispy bangs from her face. She moved to the table that Seaheart and the others accompanied, removing the two glasses that once held wine. They still held a few drops of rosey liquid in them. "Care...Ful there..." Maya said slowly to the man who obviously had a high tolerence for alcohol. It was then that she realized who she had been talking to. Her lavender eyes were planted on his all to familiar face, subconciously narrowing into two tiny slits. "I remember you," she pointed out, her eyes returning to normal, "Not that I'd like to, but I do...Uck."

He looked toward the stranger, and smiled. He hardly knew her, but he did sort of have a good time with her...in a sadistic way. "Ahhhhh. You're the girl who got dumped for my..." He chuckled as he said the next sentence "my ex-girlfriend Dementia, who you think must be as crazy as her name." He said with the ending of his chuckles, then turning into something of his usual sadistic voice.
"Tell me, how did it feel when you found out? It didn't hurt me one bit, for I knew it was coming. Yes.....Arkady was handsome, wasn't he? In case you din't knew, Dementia fell for him because of something of his looks.....in it, she found redemption. While you seemed to find him....something of your boy-toy. I knew from the moment I saw that when he was between you and Dementia, he found you annoying." He said in a dull voice with the last sentence, as if somehow unhappy.
He savored this moment. This was something he could enjoy. Love in the aftermath of the breakign point. He knew she would try to act cool about it, act like it didn't hurt, but somehow, he knew she probably despised Dementia for taking her boy-toy away. Truly enjoyable for him.

If Maya had a drink right now, she would've spit it out all over him right about now. He was hilarious! Although some of his words held truth to them, most of them didn't, which were just flat out hilarious to her. "Hah...Seaheart is it? You're hilarious. ten years have gone by, and so much stuff has been resolved. Perhaps not on your sick, evil, twisted, part, but on mine, it has- alot."
"As far as how I felt when I found out, I didn't find out, I knew. I knew it was going to happen. They were bound for eachother, and she, I later found out, needed him more than I did. Sure, it hurt, but the past is the past. I'm faced with new and greater worries and challenges. One's that mean more to me than some relationship that could've been. But no, my dear, he wasn't my "boy-toy" as you so simply put it. What he was to me is none of your concern."
"And for him to find me annoying...Hah. Don't get too happy on that one. But if you must know," She started, "Sophie and I are now on good terms. Seems you're the only one having trouble letting go of the past." She threw him a quick smile, before blankening her expressions.
