A Savings account [Ryu]

"Tap tap tap.... "There was quite a long line at the bank today, Gabe actually needed to deposit some money from the earnings he made at the lucky clover casino. As usual, they gave him enough money to be well off, but being this well paid also spoke volumes as to what his role was or what he had to do. Still it was as if that job was the most "legal" illegal jobs he could come cross, and he s been doing it ever since the eternal divide happened. The owner saw Gabe as a son, and Gabe never really knew how to feel about it.

Why did he decided to get his money today? He knew that the bank would be full anyways, it has always been like that. He still haven't learn even if he did that for more than an year on his own now, and always came on the most busy hours to get what the government owe him, in a way, that is.
Liam was rather impatient today or just bored because he was running late for his other activities and didn't have any battery left on his cellphone. He was looking around aimlessly, searching something to distract himself into that normally boring environment until he found a familiar face among all the people he didn't know. Wasn't that the guy who he met in his first day of class? He couldn't get out of the line, but at least he knew someone there now.

After Gabe finished his business on the line, he ended up swinging towards where his friend so happened to be standing. "Salutations!" Gabe would say with a small wave. "Can you believe the line? I think its pay day for everyone in a sense. " It is quite impossible for everyone in the city to get paid on the same day, but Gabe could of picked a better day. Still he stood next to Ryu as the line moved. He wasn't exactly on the line, so Gabe made sure he was out of the way. "How have you been since we last met my friend? Anything new? Gabe wondered if the man managed to get himself into class 0?

Liam always found it funny how the man greeted him, as it was a little out of the ordinary. But it was fun, unique and was creating a trend between the too nonetheless. ~ Greetings! ~ He waved back, turning into his direction without getting out or slowing the line he was in. ~ I know, right? This is the busiest day to get here and I always forget about it! ~ He scratched his head, smiling still. It was unfortunate but at least he had good company now. ~ I've been... Good. Pity i couldn't get to the cadets reunion last night. ~ And what a night that was. But the other guy didn't and shouldn't know about that. Just imagine what he would say if he knew he was a Terrorist!Not that he had any input on that anyways, but it's not something you comment out loud at least.

"Thats too bad, you really found quite the interest in class zero at the time. I thought that if you kept your grades up and practiced martial arts the way you did, you would get in for sure. Maybe they would hold another audition? Dont give up on your dream Ryu. " Gabe would say as he fidgeted with his gloves. "As they say, class zero is the "Easy life?" Or something around those lines. " Gabe wasnt too sure himself, but who really knew. " Dont feel too bad, i was stuck with work last night myself. I'm sure that everything in life happens for a reason. I mean, here we are, on the bank line like normal people.

~ Yeah... But maybe it was for the best. Who knows right? We can always get some new opportunities for things. ~ He shrugged, giving an apologetic smile to his companion. In his actual situation thinking about Class 0 wasn't the biggest of his problems after all. ~ Well, I guess so. But going down the hard road may be as rewarding as the easy one in the end. Who knows? ~ that was almost a commentary to himself, trying to see the good side of things. ~ Really? I thought you were going to try for Class 0 too man! Didn't know you had a job already. ~

"Class 0? No, i'm a little down to earth. " Gabe would then look at himself, laughing afterwards. "What? It's the clothes isn't it? Does it scream elitist or something among the sort?" Gabe would then shake his head. "I lived an extraordinary life by surviving an unnatural circumstance years ago. Due to that, either fate or luck, I have my life. It made me able to appreciate what I have in thus said life. I might sound like I lack ambition, but there isn't a thought in my head that wishes for more luxury, i'm content. " Gabe would then shrug. "Though, i'm sure you have your reasons to want to be part of class 0 besides simple things like that, right?

~Ah, really? You seem to fit in their concept well enough. ~ He laughed too, looking at him trying to figure out what made Liam think he could fit into the Cadets. ~They even have a kid in there and everyone in that school wants to be class Zero. Nothing really personal, Gabe. ~ He nodded, looking a little lost for an instant as the other spoke about surviving the unnatural. ~ I...Know exactly how you feel, man. Surviving something tragic changes you forever, right? ~ He shook his head, going back to the more easygoing aura he always seemed to have until now. ~ Yeah! But I just wanted to have my own money, you know? And that was the easiest way. ~ He smiled. Saying something else about his doubts of the Government would be unwise to someone he met for so little time.

"I know what you mean, i was just, critical. You know? Question everything, you read conspiracy theories and what not. Aliens living in the basement, area 51?" Gabe would then laugh. "Nothing that crazy, of course, i just wish to not be ignorant of things, or ruled by greed. Some things matter more than others, like family, friends, maybe even a pet that you had since birth. I'm the kind of fool who believes in nonsensical attachments, maybe i should be more realistic like you ryu? " Though, it made him wonder. "This is just a guess, but judging by your muscular build and your skills, you are..... a martial arts instructor?

~ Eh, I'm not much into that, my time is often occupied by exercises. It' not easy to maintain this body, you know? ~ He laughed it off, but the notion of anything out of the ordinary would bring bad memories, so the best thing to do was to limit himself to the known "real" world, even if he was changing lowly towards more supernatural things. ~ I see. But I think that's why people join in the first place, so they can protect something. I just wanted to see how things were one I was inside. ~ He shrugged, thinking that now was already too late for that. He didn't have anyone to protect, at least for now. ~ Oh, I wish! heh ~ He felt all embarrassed with the comment, that was more like a compliment to him. ~ I'm just a humble student of the arts. I still have a long way to go, ya? ~

At times like this, i wish i had a gray wig with a bushy mustache. I mean, playing a old sensei is no easy feat, but if i was, i would say something like this. "Gabe would then try his best impression of a fortune cookie if it had some of ancient Chinese vocal cords. " The humble student of the arts, is a master not far apart. " Gabe would then push his glasses up after. " Or something of the sort. Even teachers are students, do you ever thing that you stop learning things at some point. In any and all stages of life, there is something valuable to take away from it.We are all students, and at some point, we become the masters of our own destiny. " Gabe would then wonder. "Though, if you don't teach, what do you do for a living?

~ Heh, I don't think gray hair will help you. You'd actually look good with it. ~ He grinned at the statement, after all white hair was actually a thing younger people have been doing now, and he thought that it was very beautiful himself. Until he saw that it was not for cutting the line but for playing a wise and old master, which made the man laugh way harder then the should. ~ Oh my, this was a good one. ~ He would then listen to his observation about teaching and how it was part of life in general, and pondered for a while before answering. ~ Eh, I don't feel ready yet to entitle myself as a teacher of my arts. I'm still to unbalanced and I need to learn a bit more to teach others in a satisfactory way. It's not like I'll ever stop practicing though. ~ Then, he turned to look at all the bank, signaling to it as he was saying his next words. ~Well... This bank was actually mine in a sense. After the Government took control of it they started to give me money to compensate for the loss, or something like that. ~

"Wait wait, hold on.... you mean to tell me you come from a long lineage of wall street bankers? Wow, looks really do deceive, and i mean that in a good way. It's never right to assume anything, but i wouldn't expect that such a physical person would come from a background such as yours. "This was something that Gabe wasn't expecting to say the least. How could he in fact? "So what happened? Did you try to reclaim the back for yourself and this is all just, money for your condolences? If this is something thats tied back to you family, and i'm only assuming at this point, wouldn't there be some sort of will or lineage towards your last name? Though, Gabe put his hands up. "I'm definately not trying to pry, i'm just, a little shocked, in theory, you would be more well off than it appears.

~ I got more than a muscular body and flowing red hair y'know. ~ The man jokingly added to the others speech as it was not the first time people took him for all brawl and no brains. Not that he cared much about it anyways, as he was not living an expensive life or acing his exams, but it was nice to once in a while be recognized for anything else than his body or martial arts prowess. ~ It was more like a we will give you money for the rest of your life to take control of your family's business because we want kinda thing, but yeah! ~ He purposefully dodged any kind of questions about his parents as anything related to them was still not a pleasant thing to discuss in particular and worse in public. It was still a sensitive spot in his scarred mind.

Hmm... Well... alright.... what are you doing after this?" Gabe would say in a questioning tone. "I dont know if you are old enough to drink or anything of the sort, but there is a ramen stall if you are hungry? It's easy on the pockets and i am a little hungry...." Gabe felt like it would be cool to invite Ryu somewhere if he did want to get something to eat. If not, Gabe would understand and leave him be. It must be tough to have something that belongs to your family taken from you. Gabe had his qualms about the government, but this was too much. A little unfair in Gabe's opinion
