spearofhopeTopic: 4th Street Church The Headquarters of the Saints, a Gang led by Benvolio. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Well here we are" Jazz said once they finally got there. It would have taken only about a half our, but with John and kicking down the door, it took about an hour. Jazz placed Mira on a seat, "what now Nii-chan?" Mira asked. |
 |
spearofhopeJohn leaned against the wall as they neared the tower entrance to the church. he sighed and pulled a key from his pocket, "We'll need this." |
 |
Operation CheckMate"What is that key go to, the church?" Jazz asked. Looking at the object John was holding up.| #4 Jan 04th, 2:09pm . Edited Jan 04th, 2:14pm | |
|
 |
spearofhope"well, to the Tower." John said, opening the door and slowly walking up the long spiral staircase. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Well Mira, first we have to wait here until another friend of ours show up." Jazz said getting on Mira's level, looking her in the eye. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Come on Mira" Jazz said pucking ip Mira once more, and followed John into the dark church. |
 |
spearofhopeJohn sat down quickly on a bench in the bell tower room. He looked around, "We're pretty much safe here, as long as the Saints downstairs don't hear us." |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Right" Jazz said, placing Mira down again, "Mira this is John-san. He, Garret-san, and Frances-san, are helping us out. There letting us stay with them, and help them out." Jazz said getting on Mira's eye level again. "But we need to stay quiet right now, so the Saints don't hear us, okay?" Jazz asked."Yes Jasmine" Mira said, looking a bit scarred and clinging to her sisters shirt. Jazz sighed and picked Mira up. Now facing John. | #9 Jan 04th, 2:17pm . Edited Jan 04th, 2:18pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn sighed and stood, "Is she scared?" he sked, taking a step forward and looking at the girl. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"No, more startled is all. She's just a little bit scarred to wake up and not know where she is exactly. But she's a fighter, right Mira?" Jazz said a smile on her lips, looking at Mira.Mira smilled and nodded. "Yep!" she said, "Hi John-san! I'm Mira, and this is my sister Jasmine" She sounded so proud. "I think I want to sit on the floor now" She added. "Right" Jazz said and put her down, as she sat indian style, and looked up at Jazz and John, waiting for what to happen next. | #11 Jan 04th, 2:23pm . Edited Jan 04th, 2:23pm | |

 |
spearofhopeJohn sighed, and sat down, "So, what are you doing in town, Jasmine?" |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz sat down as well, hugging her legs to her chest, leaning her head against the wall, eyes closed. "Well since Mira and are always on the run, we trevel a lot. Soon I heard word of this place, and decided to check it out. We lived on the docks for a bit, and then I bumbed into you guys." |
 |
spearofhopeJohn smiled, "Well... the docks are rough. I know that from experience. you must've had trouble there..." |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz smiled, eyes stilled closed "Yeah, I guess you could say that. One of the worst challengs there was Crow, He said he was the leader of Sleeping Forests, the toughes gang in the City. He afford me to the tem, but I reafused. He didn't seem like the trustworthy type." |
 |
spearofhopeJohn nodded, "You've made a painful enemy." he shrugged, "He's the only man in the City that Garret can't kill." he frowned, "And now he's fighting him."(should I bring in the Saints?) |
 |
Operation CheckMate(If you want. I can make Mira ring the bell calling in the saints, if you want) |
 |
spearofhope(Eh, I think it'd be best if there's just one)From the stairwell came a small thump, and a shuffling noise. John looked up, and said "Damnit... we gotta hide!" |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz jumped up and grabbed Mira. 'where to hide, where to hide' she thought. She gave up on options, and jupend in the bell. Putting both of her arms and lega against the wall of the bell to make her suspended in mid-air. Mira was on her back, holding on tightly. Neither of them made a sound as the Saint came up the stairs.(Now if he rings the bell, that would be cruel) | #19 Jan 04th, 2:45pm . Edited Jan 04th, 2:46pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeThe Saint arrived at the top of the steps and looked around. "What's going on up here? It's supposed to be locked most of the time..." he walked around the room, and his gaze slowly met the Bell. |
 |
Laniatus(Oh, my God . . . my arms hurt so much, I can barely type. Damn shots. Anyway, you have my permission to control Frankie . . . wherever she is. I'm going to go rest my arms for a bit. *winces* sja;kje . . .) |
 |
Operation CheckMate(hi Frances. We feel your pain) |
 |
spearofhope(ah man, that sucks...) |
 |
Operation CheckMate'Don't come any closer,' Jazz thought, once the saint said this. 'Please don't ring the bell either,' she added as an after thought. |
 |
spearofhopeThe saint lightly tapped the bell and smiled, turning back towards the door. |
 |
Operation CheckMateThe bell made a faint ringing noice inside. Jazz cringed, as did Mira. Jazz's keen hearing comes in handy a lot, but at times like these she wished she didn't have it. She came out of the bell hopping the Saint was gone. Jazz was now temerairaly deaf. Mira was okay, beacuse she had normal hearing. 'At least it wasn't as bad as if he had rung it' Jasmine thought.| #26 Jan 04th, 2:58pm . Edited Jan 04th, 2:59pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn climbed in the window. "He's gone..." he said, "Are you hurt at all?" |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz saw his lips move, but no words came out. weird. wait, maybe that damn bell made her temerairaly deaf. "Damn Bell, Damn Saint" Jazz whispered. "I can't hear you. I have hieghtned hearing, beacuse my right eye is blind. I think that faint ringing made me temerairaly deaf. Mira should be okay, she has normal hearing" Jazz said a bit louder than need be.| #28 Jan 04th, 3:03pm . Edited Jan 04th, 3:05pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn nodded and made his hands make a lowering motion. "Alright, Mira, are you alright?" he asked the child. |
 |
Operation CheckMateMira just sat down, looking like this was normal. "This happens a lot" Mira said. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"I'm fine" Mira added on, with a cute little girl smile.| #31 Jan 04th, 3:06pm . Edited Jan 04th, 3:06pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn nodded slightly, "Alright, good. as long as you're both alright..." he sat back down, and sighed. |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz not to sure what to do, sat down as well. Her eyes prowling everywhere, like a caged animal. She hates it when she can't hear. She feels vaulnerable. Too open for comfort. "I hate when she does that with her eyes" Mira said, sitting next to John. "It looks creepy"| #33 Jan 04th, 3:12pm . Edited Jan 04th, 3:15pm | |
|
 |
Operation CheckMateMira shifted so she was looking at John. |
 |
spearofhopeJohn sighed, and fished something out of his pockets. "Here, this might help. put it in your ear." he said, handing it to her. He sat back down and pulled a bottle of pills from his pocket. |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz took the what ever it was from him, having no idea what to do with it. "What do I do with this?" Jazz asked in a whisper. Looking at the it confusingly.| #36 Jan 04th, 3:19pm . Edited Jan 04th, 3:20pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn sighed, and took the bottle back. "No, take this." he said, and handed her the thing from his other hand. He then pointed to his ear. he opened the bottle and took out a few pills. |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz's face lightened up, and she put it in her ear. "Like this?" She asked again. |
 |
spearofhope"Yes." John said, and leaned forward, "Do you hear me now? it's state of the art, you should..." |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Wow, I heard what you said! Arigato John-san!" Jazz said with a sitting bow. "What is it?" Jazz asked in wonderment, touching the small device in her ear. |
 |
spearofhopejohn shrugged, "It's a lot of meaningless technical terms. Let's put it this way, it's a tiny little thing that can not just highten hearing, but can also discreetly lower it. If you're in a train station and the noise bothers you, just put it in." he smiled, "Glad to see it works like he said it would." he took the pills. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Thanks a bunch John-san!" Jazz said again. "This should come in handy." "What are those pills for?" Mira said, looking at the bottle in his hand. "Mira! Don't Be so nosiey!" Jazz said, looking at her sister sternley. "Sorry John-san" She whispered, head held low. "I was just curious"| #42 Jan 04th, 3:35pm . Edited Jan 04th, 3:39pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn shook his head, "Nah, it's ok..." he sighed, and put down the pills. |
 |
Operation CheckMateMira looked, up and was happy. "So you goin' to tell us what they're for?" Mira said, hope in her eyes. "Mira!" Jazz shrieked. |
 |
spearofhopeJohn looked down, and nodded, "Alright. Well..." he sighed, "I've got Vrolik's Syndrome, 'Brittle Bone Disease'... it's very rare. Essentially, my bones are incredibly Fragile. They were litteraly breaking in the womb..." |
 |
Operation CheckMate"I'm so sorry john-san! She has an over curiousity." Jazz said, giving a warning look at her sister. "Sorry" Mira mumbled. Before John said the above statement.| #46 Jan 04th, 3:47pm . Edited Jan 04th, 3:52pm | |
|
 |
spearofhopeJohn nodded, "Well, with Medication, it can be managed, but... you know." |
 |
Operation CheckMateJazz was speachless. "Sorry to hear that" Jazz said after a while. Mira, was confused, but desided to not press the matter further, she had made her sister mad enough today. |
 |
Operation CheckMate"Yeah." Jazz said. A long silence accurd. "So, do you think we should go look for Garret? It's been a long time." |
 |
spearofhope"Garret can handle himself. We just need to hang tight until he shows back up..." he sighed, "He'll be back soon."(depending on whether or not MonkeyDs shows up!) |
