Skye McFoley's Story

"Hello! Welcome to Radiant Gardens Restaurant. My name is Skye and I'll be your server for this afternoon."

The voice of the short-haired woman echoed in the emptier room. She was short handed since their recent opening and she needed some workers. Well, to be more accurate, she needed everything. Chef, waitstaff, Hosts, a Bartender, cleaning service... busboy. She basically had to manage the best she could and sometimes that wasn't good enough. Business was slow but she was breaking even in profits. So she couldn't complain. What's the point of having a lot of business if you couldn't even manage it? However, that wasn't good enough. She wanted to do better. She could remember as a kid that her grandpa had this as a happening place, but that was before the apocalypse.

The man that sat at the bar was an older gentleman. He was hear every morning asking for the same breakfast. "Bacon, eggs sunny-side up, and flapjacks." The man spoke up with a gruff to his voice before he sipped on his cup of decaf coffee. He was a usual, but that was wonderful nontheless.

"Fantastic! Alright, I'll have someone cook it up right away for ya." With a smile she walked on the oak-planked floors passed the bar stools and in the kitchen door to her one lonely cook. "The usual!" Knowing exactly what meal she was talking about, the cook started to make the breakfast as Skye walked right out the door and towards the Host Podium, hoping for another customer.

"Uh..." Was all that Skye could mutter as she saw Joe quickly run into the Inn. He looked exhausted and in a hurry, the feeling of darkness was definitely nearby. "....Right." She said with her voice drifting off as she watched him push the doors back open. Heartless were still a problem, even with the Restoration Committee's defense system that Cid built in.

The redhead quickly jogged over to the window and peaked out, watching her friend try to take down the large-body heartless attacking him. As she watched the brawl, her usual customer paid no mine as the chef came out with his breakfast. He was used to the fighting and it did not interest him like it did Skye. His dull eyes peered over at his meal instead and he started to take a bit of his pancakes after he cut into them. Right as he took a bite the heartless flew across each side of the window like a cow jumping over the moon in a nursery rhyme. Meanwhile his music was easily heard in the building.

Joe immediately headed into the bar soon after and he started to order a beer before turning over to the owner. "No one who made an epic entrance like you did." She chuckled as she walked over to the bar and sat at the stool. "You seem like you deserve a beer... what happened? Was that heartless there when you got here or did it appear by you?" She asked inquisitively while she crossed her arms. She knew fully well that Joe could handle himself, however it didn't mean that he still didn't worry her. They have known each other for some time now and she felt responsible for him.

Joe drank silently and looked at everyone in the room then his target's photo. "I know your gonna be here soon." He looked up and saw Kenneth as he finished his drink and his eyes brightened. "Hey you there at the bar can we talk outside." He got up and walked outside he used to be a assassin but was now a peackeeper he gathered intel on people deemed dangerous by his allies on other worlds. "You have a tendency to freeze things that don't belong to you that's a threat to others and I can't allow that to hurt anyone." Joe walked outside holding the card with his target's info on it he had read Skye's info card and realized she was a good person but he hadn't done much but skim this target's name and recent history. Joe took a look at the card and realized the person had only damaged property on accident these cards were called moral tests since if you killed the a person on one you would become everyone's target. "Well then I guess this will be a sparring match." Joe created a door to darkness above him and a hundred swords fell out stabbing into the ground followed by a few shadows which the defense system crushed easily. Joe grabbed one and put it into his mouth then grabbed two more. Joe took a defensive looking stance that was actually made to throw power back at the opponent.
