Airship Cindy
The airship is what is generating power to all of the Ria school itself.
Hours 9:00am - 7:45pm
"If you don't make it the first time around then just head back tomorrow, no exceptions."
Outside View;;
Although it's usually a well kept secret, high above the clouds, past the Tikari forest and lake and falls is Ria's very own airship, Cindy. It's a massive size for an airship, because it's really just meant to be a mini-Ria in the sky instead of the ground. It is completely hidden unless your actually looking it, and might spot a glimmer of metal in the sky. Otherwise there are holographic clouds covering up the rusted metal. However when it's time to leave for the night or they happen to need more workers, the only part of the ship you can still really see is the bottom of the whole thing which in turn looks basically like a UFO. Flashing lights and metal arms that pull you up and all. If you do manage to get a good look at the actual outside view of the ship, it can seem a bit less impressive, because Cindy's rather old and the metal is a red rusted color, but in no way is it a dissapointment.
Inside;;
The airship proves to always be full of people bustling and moving around, working hard and happy. There seems to almost be an infinate amount of rooms with each one holding new possibilities and inventions inside of it. Basically there are about five stories to the whole ship, and the rooms go around in a full circular pattern, curving upwards and upwards till you reach the very top roof which doubles as a large clear-glass window and a landing pad. Inside each particular room depends on the owners, there are still some empty rooms for those who wish to start fresh, but the rooms are for mechanics, scientists, and those who are good at building things. All of those who do physical work here get paid a fair amount, most happen to just greatly enjoy the work they get to do. There are also classes being held here, some teachers and students who prefer to be closer to the sky than the ground do their lessons in the airship. While the physical rooms are all across and around like a swirling staircase, in the center of the ship lays a massive generator, instead of hiding it in a basment or closed off area, it is shown off constantly with high regard. Around the generator, there are many couches, cusions, bookshelfs, fridges and other supplies to just rest up and take a break.
Also, you may not at first come here of your own accord, it just so happens to be that such a ship also has the most at times reckless crew. And every now and then when they run low on workers, they lower thier ship suddenly, and kidnap Rians who are wondering around the forest paths. Of course, they'd never make you stay here, because that leads to lawsuits...so the option to leave is always yours to make. But really, why would you want to leave such a wonderful, hardworking place?
NPC's;;
Jack - 28, the actual pilot of the ship and what'd you call the "Boss Man" around here. Usually he's coated in a layer or two of dirt, so you can't tell that he actually happens to be rather good looking. Dirty, curly blonde hair, dark exiciting orbs for eyes and a ridiculously insane smile. He acts completely on impulse and has been known to say weither or not he likes someone with first glance and stick to it. Though he talks fast and doesn't seem to have regard on what you really want to do, he honestly is good with his impulsive nature.
Miss Lith - 25, one of the head scientists who seems to keep the ship together or is the actual cause of it falling apart from one of her experiments. With curly deep aqua hair that falls past her wiast, green and red eyes, heavenly pale skin and a kind smile, she seems to be a reason for sticking around. However, she'll trade out anyone around her for the purpose of her next science experiment in a heartbeat so don't trust her too much.
Roger and Mina - 19, twins who are good for giving you the fastest tour ever and then heading straight back off to building a gigantic lazer. Mina is short, has equally short straight-cut black hair, supremely tan skin and glowing green eyes. Roger's height at 6'8 should be illegal, but he does have that charming smile, short dark hair and tan skin that can lead unwillful girls astray. Both of them are always moving around, rarely letting anything stop them except for one coffee break per day and also happen to be very friendly, especially Roger with females.

Arcadia sat once again, lost in her thoughts and alone at the edge of the forest, her legs tucked in under her. She wore a pair of black snug pants with silver pinstrip down it, along with a soft blue long-sleeve shirt that hung off her hands slightly. She was playing with the edge of her sleeve currently while she waited. She was in fact, waiting for Ryu, even though he had no idea that she was here yet or was looking for her probably. She had gotten a vision last night though, and she usually only got those regarding other people when something intresting would happen, so here she was. The way she had left things was probably odd to him as well. She had simply gone up to Ryu after that and patted him slightly on the head, her sign showing a "n.n" look on it slightly from what she had been able to tell. She wanted to thank him for being nice, and for not asking about her sign and kind of thought they could become friends. But the fact that he could read her emotions and the videocamera that was recording it, honestly did end up scarying her off in the end. His voice though...that kind of tone, it was odd...but she didn't hate it she decided in the end. She sighed slightly as she glanced down at her sign, "DD:" what did that mean? Was she really that anixious, she rubbed the back of her neck and mellowed a bit, glancing back up towards the sky. Well she did at least know what to expect, so she wouldn't be surprised, she could probably even tell Ryu to go back by finding him. But. Instead she'd rather like to see how things around here turned out, supposdly there was going to be something coming out of the sky soon. She didn't feel like being on the ground today anyway, that was what she felt like when she woke up. That probably too wasn't a normal emotion.

Ryuzaki had certainly taken an interest in the girl, which was sort of rare for him. He knew people came and went without any regard to what he felt about it, so he'd made himself learn not to care, not to grow attached, and not to really like either. But, this girl was slightly different. ...well, not really. She'd left too. Though, she'd patted his head first, which had caught him off guard. He'd started to follow her but had ended up staying put, videoing her retreating form until she'd gone out of sight. And then, after a few minutes of just standing there and staring after her, he'd started roaming around campus again, video camera taking in everything.
Now, he was back out again after getting a bite to eat, still bundled up in his huge blue coat, and still with that camera. However, now it was lowered down by his side. He hadn't planned on meeting up with anyone down here, and he'd grown tired of simply filming scenery. So, he wandered around, looking with his eyes instead of through the lense for once. The eyes which were a deeper blue than the pale, soft strands of his hair. He breathed out a soft sigh, and mist drifted from his lips, like warm air would cause when one exhaled in snowy surroundings. However, his was the opposite. He was cold in the warmth. He bundled up a little tighter in his coat, peering around, and then stopped quite suddenly, eyes focused upon a familiar being. His camera rose out of habit, but then he paused, seemed to think better of it, and stopped, leaving it lowered by his side, the lensed covered by its protective cap. He lifted his other hand in a light wave, his neutral expression focused upon her. "Hello, love. What are you doing way out here all on your own?"

Arcadia looked up when he approched, figuring it either had to be him or some kind of unexpected new development in which she might very well die. Luckily, it happened to be Ryu, her paraniod illusions fading back away once more as she looked at him, faintly surprised to see his face instead of his lovely camera. Her eyes fell back on over to his camera, ah there it was...not turned on? While her face was as monotone as toner, her sign was showing a "='D" look as she rose back on up to her feet and crossed her arms once more. "Well I'm not alone right now...right Ryuzaki?" she asked turning to him faintly wanting to ask why he kept calling her love, but she got the feeling it was natural with him. Everything about him had this tainted natural feeling to it, like he wasn't really hiding much somehow...though he never really did say much...or rather too much which was something she ended up liking. "It's odd. I wonder why it is you happened to be out here today, if you weren't then nothing would happen. It must be called what they call...fate?" she asked half talking to herself as she pondered the simple fact that Ryu didn't look to have a reason to be here and yet, they were both about to be kidnaped right off of their own feet. She turned to him fully this time and her sign was showing a simple but obvious, ">0>" look to it as she was faintly hesistant on the inside if it was alright to do this, but once again, her emotions didn't hold true to her actions. She pulled her arms around him snuggly, hugging his shoulders rather than doing that bold waist move. Something like that was...reserved for a fifth meeting? She blinked though, almost a hint of surprise on her face, though even if there had been there would be no one to see it. "Ah. Your cold." were the last words spoken before suddenly a ship...no...a UFO? Came out of the sky itself along with meticalic grabby arms and aimed straight for them. She winced when the arms went around her and Ryu, but if she didn't do it like this, then the chance they would fall was higher, it tightened and she sucked in air, but remained quiet as it lifted them up into the sky and into the little door before dissapearing from normal sight once more.

Ryuzaki peered down at her, observing the sign as he was noticed, and a very faint smile twitched at his lips again, threatening to take over. But, like normal, it faded before it managed to. "No, I guess you're not," he agreed with a slight nod, the pale strands of hair shifting forward a little into his eyes. He observed her quietly, listening as she spoke of fate and such things. He wasn't sure how he felt on matters such as that. Did he believe in fate? It was such a curious thing, he supposed. But, something had brought them together again. He hadn't really intended to find her, it'd just happened on its own. He hadn't been tracking her scent or anything. Either way, his thumb idly flipped off the cap on the camera, in preparation to catch anything interesting that might happen. And, it did.
First, it was in the form of a sudden hug. He blinked, peering down at her in surprise, and then smiled and loosely wrapped one arm back around her, settled across her upper back. "I know, love. Sorry about that." He didn't know how to regulate his body temperature. It was like he was cold blooded, but unlike reptiles, he didn't warm up even if he lay out in the sun. And yes, he had tried it as a kid, to see if he'd end up lazy and sluggish. He'd just ended up trembling in a ball on the ground until someone had brought his coat back to him. He pressed record on his camera, and absently titlted it upwards to film their hug, but it was soon interrupted by some mechanical claw. He stared at it, blinking, feeling it grab him. He held her more tightly with his one arm, his other capturing their abduction on camera. He seemed surprisingly calm. Perhaps this was because that he knew that if they were to fall, he had wings that would lift them right back up again. Also, he was curious about where they were going, so he didn't bother breaking free. He just held this girl, Sock Monkey, gently against himself and waited.

"It's alright, it feels refreshing." she said simply and quietly. Arcadia just stayed perfectly still while the odd machine picked them both up, lightly gripping onto Ryu with hints of a smile on the sign as well. The time between being picked up and being put into the ship wasn't too long which Arcadia guessed was quite a good thing, it made people less paranoid that they would drop. She did like the fact that Ryu didn't seem all that surprised, or displeased about something like this happening, he didn't freak out or hide his emotions either. He was just someone who had an easy-going way about him most of the time, and that was...wonderful. She figured anyway. Finally they were set back on solid ground, or rather soild metal as the door closed behind them, acting a bit like a trap door that they were standing on. She finally removed her arms from Ryu's as she snuggled her way out of the hug, the sign showing a ".///." the blush on the sign fading away even but look remaining as she looked around wondering exactly where they happened to be at this point. Her eyes fell onto a bit of an older man who was directing a large group of people, and though he was speaking loudly she really couldn't understanda single drop of what he was saying. Just when she had begun to wonder if they could, footsteps had drawn right up next to them and up came this beautiful woman. She turned, "*O*" a look of admieration on her sign for the woman's look and the soft smile she held before the woman spoke, motioning towards the loud talking man. "He's always like that, you get used to hearing him talk after a while and can actually understand what all that gibberish he's saying means." she said before smiling once more and looking between Arcadia and Ryu, Arcadia almost faintly thought that she was exaiming them almost...? "Say do you two drink a lot of apple juice?" she asked suddenly, Arcadia's sign flashing a confused expression before she was about to ask the woman what she was talking about. She suddenly felt a little unsettled with the woman, but forgot the feeling when the man from before suddenly showed up right next to them...so quickly, he must have a lot of energy! "HeyHeyHey,youtwoarethenewonesrightright? Nicetomeetyou,Iwaskindofwonderingifyouwouldn'tmindstayinghereonthisshipanddoingsomework?
You'llgetpaidforitofcourse!" the man said in one clean breath of air and the woman simply smiled. "He wants to know if you two would do some work here? Of course we'll pay you and you can explore the place yourself before you make any final decision, since we did kidnap you and everything. Though I recommend coming this way first, I'd like to check out a few things about you two.." she said eyeing them both again and Arcadia, blinked turning towards the other strange man who was already gone and bossing some other around. Man...so fast! Then two others came, a girl and guy probably around her and Ryu's age, the girl rolling her eyes lightly as the male nudged away the woman. "Don't mind her, she just likes using people for experiements, it's best to ignore her. What's your names?" she asked and Arcadia's sign remained on a slight, "o_o" look before she answered finally speaking again. "Arcadia." she replied, not using the nickname of sock monkey that she had given Ryu and faintly glancing over at him while she had spoke her real name. Real names were formal, she had figured she wouldn't meet Ryu again so it was basically like a parting gift for him. "Oh, you two go ahead and look around, I gotta go take my brother here and go fix some things, come and find us if you need anything, we'll be around." the girl said before shoving her brother off and away and leaving Arcadia and Ryu all alone on this huge and massive...ship in the sky.

Ryuzaki's camera filmed everything, while remaining down by his side in the hopes that they wouldn't notice and make him turn it off. He rotated his wrist to move the lense around, taking in all of their surroundings and the people talking to him, as well as what they were saying. He'd shifted a bit as his feet touched solid ground again, peering down at Sock Monkey as she backed away from him, another smile twitching at his lips when he saw the sign's display this time. She was a bit cute, in a slightly odd way, one that he found rather appealing. But he moved his eyes from her and to the ones who were speaking, stepping lightly away from the man who'd appeared by them.
For the most part though, he simply stood still and listened, not bothering to say anything in response. Part of him was annoyed at the abduction, part was simply interested in the turn of events. He'd kind of like to get to know this place, see how it worked and all that. Like, how did they keep this large metal thing floating in the sky? And he supposed that if he did end up working here, he'd get to learn just that. Plus, a little money couldn't hurt. He had his camera, so he didn't know what else he'd need to use it for, but he'd find something eventually. Even if that meant just updating his camera lense or something.
When Sock Monkey spoke her real name, he glanced over to her again, warm blue eyes holding a sudden, and brief look of some emotion, but it didn't linger long enough to be figured out. He was wondering though, if it'd be okay to call her by that name or not. But then his attention shifted back to the apparent siblings that'd approached, and he watched then head off, before facing Arcadia once more. "Well then... shall we explore, love?"
