Repa never realized how different other worlds were until she finally came to one. She loved the way things were in Gaia, the differences at least. Growing up around rules and events that tore you down made you want a vacation more then anything. Delatorr was a place ruled by Royalty, while Gaia seemed to be very free to the people. The way of life was different, even the air smelled different. Repa's eyes were closed as she breathed in the difference, walking down the street from her little condo she rented for now, she was wandering the city of midgar just trying to find something entertaining to do. She hadn't met very many people yet, so maybe she'd try to make some friends today, or at least meet people that would soon turn into friends.
The day seemed to be worryless. Not a care in the world seemed to be the feeling of today. As Repa walked down the street she stopped infront of a building and read the sign. "Seventh Heaven." She read aloud to herself as she then felt her stomach rumble, she had yet to shop for food for her new home so naturally she entered the bar and looked around. A steady afternoon it looked like. Must be a nice place. She thought as she walked over and sat at the bar eyeing the other items people had ordered to see if anything caught her eye.

The bar was back up and running after the incident with Yazoo and Tifa was working again. She knew her friends would disapproved they all advised her to keep the bar closed for a few days till her injuries completely heal. Maybe that would have been best, but if she had nothing to keep her busy then her mind would drift to recall certain events she wanted to forget. Working kept her busy and helped her forget about those dreaded memories, another reason why she loved to work.
"Another busy day...." Tifa uttered under her breath as she glanced around the bar. She was glad to see that the place was as lively as even even after the attack of Bohamut and Yazoo. While serving the orders Tifa noticed a new costumer walk into the bar. She smiled and walked to her table. " Hello welcome to Seventh Haven...... is there anything you would like to order?"

Repa looked around the place. It looked well put together. It was someplace she would come if it was good ya know? Seemed with all the people it was nice enough. She saw Tifa walk over to her table and greet her asking if there was anything she wanted to order. Honestly she didn't know. Maybe a drink but food was she was stuck. "Hi." Repa started with a smile. Might as well try the whole making friends thing now while she could. "I'll just take a Water for now. Im still deciding really." She shrugged some.
It was pretty busy and Repa didn't want to keep this girl away from her job seeing as she was the only one here. 'Just wait till things slow down some, then try and talk. Gotta start somewhere' She thought to herself before blurting out again. "This place is very nice...I've never seen a place like it." Complimenting the place was scoring brownie points right?

Tifa smiled at the girl as she brushed strands of her hair back waiting for her order. "Just water.... are you sure you don't want anything else?" Tifa noticed she was unsure on what else to order seeing as there were so much to choose from. She moved closer to point at something on the menu.
"How about I recommencement the cake..... everyone who come her try my cake and they all like it..... If you don't know what to choose I would suggest trying that." Se added still smiling her famous smile as she looked at the girl waiting for her reply before turning to attend to the other costumers. Tifa was exhausted but knew it would soon be time to close the bar and after that she could get the rest she needed.

As appealing as cake sounded right about now, cake and water didn't seem like a good combo, but Repa would fly with it if it meant food. She hadn't really eaten alot this past week and right about now she was up for anything. And if everyone tried Tifa's cake...and there were this many people here...then it must be good right? Repa smiled and nodded some. "I'll try the cake. Sounds good. And maybe I might decide on something else to order." She said setting her menu down and folding her arms across the table she was at.
What time did this place close? If it was good Repa might hang out here awhile and try to chat with people. Making friends in new worlds was hard for her, what was there to talk about? She sure didn't want to talk about herself that was true, but if asked anything she would surely answer. Repa stared around at the other customers. They seemed happy and careless. Was this place...meaning Gaia, as peaceful as everyone looked at it to be?

Tifa nodded ans smiled once again "cake it is and you won't regret trying it and if you need to order anything else just let me know ." She added before turning to prepare the order, there was nothing to really prepare she already had the cake made all she needed now was the glass of water. It took her only a few minutes before she came out of the kitchen carrying the a tray with cake and water.
"Here you go let me know what you think of the cake" Tifa said as she gave her the order. "This is your first time here right?" She asked curiously noticing now that she never saw the girl before not in the bar or in Gaia.

Repa smiled and nodded as Tifa left to get her things. Repa simply let her eyes wander as she waited. She thought about what it would be like in about a year when she went home...would things be different? Or just the same as ever, war and all. Repa didn't have long to think before a glass of water and cake was set down infront of her. Her eyes scanned the cake. It looked absolutely wonderful she had to give Tifa that.
She was about to bite into a piece before Tifa asked her question. Repa looked at Tifa and smiled a little with a slight nod. "Yeah it is. I just...moved here...to Midgar, and Im just trying out some of the local areas. Gotta have places to go" She laughed a little nervously as she thought to herself of how lame she was acting. First impressions were key, and Repa making herself an idiot wouldn't pay off. She took a bite of the cake now followed by a swig of water. "Wow. That cake...i've tasted nothing like it...you made this?" Repa asked still looking at the cake.

"I had a feeling since I have never seen you before here or in Midgar" Tifa explained glancing at the other costumers to make sure none needed anything before turning her attention back to her. "Welcome to Midgar and to Seventh Haven.... Its nice to meet you, I am Tifa Lockhart...." Tifa added and introduced herself with another one of her famous smiles.
Tifa chuckled a bit once she saw her surprise once she tasted the cake. It was fun to see others reaction the first time they tasted her cake or cookies, others were surprised at how good it tasted as well. She nodded soon at the question "Yeah I did..... its my special cake.... I had a feeling you would like it..... it took me some time to learn how to bake a good cake. I was surprised at the taste myself after my third try...."
(Just had to put the special cake in lol)

This Girl, Tifa Lockhart, was very nice, and someone Repa would enjoy talking to. At least thats what her impression was for now. Repa smiled nodding slightly. "Thank you, It's very nice to meet you Tifa, im Repa...Reaper." She paused a little before getting to her so called last name, which wasn't even her real name. Repa was, but Reaper was just a nickname, given to her by her old school friends after they discovered her...ability. Her real name, Repa Elizabeth Raines. A princess of the world Delatorr, but Repa didn't DARE to expose any of that.
Repa quickly took another bite of the cake, it tasted even better the second time. "Well, I gotta give you this....this cake is fantastic. I wish I could bake half as good as this." She smiled a little. "I dare not try to cook anything. I'll probably just set something on fire." She giggled a bit. "I know I'll be back a lot for this cake."
(lol special cake brings people together XD)

Tifa was surprised at the name but didn't let it show or even thought of asking. She just smiled as always did when meeting a new friend. She new there was more to the name some how but again wouldn't ask. Tifa might though later if the two of them became good friends but until then she decided the best thing to do was to remain quite. "Its nice to meet you Repa"
She let out a laugh at the reply "Its not that hard to cook really..... just takes some time getting used to how.... I had to learn on my own though since I didn't have anyone to teach me...." Tifa replied and sighed at the thought remembering the death of her mother on her eight birthday, but she didn't let that memory linger in her mind for long. Instantly Tifa shook her head now wasn't the time for this.... "If you like my cake then you should try my cookies some time I am sure you will like them as well."

Repa listened to Tifa talk as she ate her cake automatically without even thinking. She noticed, something had caught Tifa, something distracting, possibly a bad memory...No one to teach her...Repa knew all too well how that feeling was. Her mother died only a few minutes after she was born, so all she had was her father and brothers. No motherly figure in the picture. That's why she was put through army training and what not. To be a Soldier, but with the death of her brother, that option was cancelled for her. "I might give cooking another try someday." Repa shrugged a bit as she stared down where the cake once was.
All this talk about food made Repa feel full and hungry at the same time. She let out a small laugh. "I'll be sure to try those sometime." She smiled at Tifa before a question came to mind. "Hey...Tifa...You don't suppose when the bar is closed...if it isn't too late...maybe you would like to...err...Take a stroll in the city? I would go myself, but im afraid I'll get terribly lost." She smiled sheepishly at her own expense. Besides, this was a way to hang out right?

Tifa nodded smiling at Repa. "If you like the cake you will definitely love the cookies then that I am sure of." She replied turning to glance at the costumers to see if anyone needed something before turning her attention to Repa with another smile.
She was about turn to start cleaning the bar earlier than usual when she heard Repa's question. "Hm.... well I usually clean the bar then get some rest once the place closes but I guess can skip cleaning to show you around...." Tifa said glancing up at the time it wouldn't be long till she had to close the place for the night. " If you don't mind sitting here for an hour till its time to close I will be glad to show you around Midgar. "

Repa laughed a little as she shook her head. "Well then I'll definately try them when I get the chance." She smiled pulling a small pouch out of her pocket which held her money, or Gil. "How much do I owe you for all this?" Repa asked quietly before Tifa accepted her invitation to tour the city. Which did make Repa smile again.
"Wow really? are you sure? I mean...if you have things to do i understand." Repa said as she almost stood up to object, she didn't want to take Tifa from her plans or anything she needed to do, but she seemed to be fine with going with Repa. It was so nice of her. "Well, thank you. Im greatful for all this Tifa." She smiled relaxing in her seat some. "I can wait, no worries on that. It gives me time to think....or space out. whichever comes first." She giggled.

A smile spread across Tifa's face as she looked at Repa and nodded. "I will try to save some for you next time" She replied before sitting down on the chair next to Repa to rest for a bit. After all the work and standing most of the time she was really exhausted, and decided to take a few minutes brake since none of the other costumers needed anything. She also enjoyed talking with Repa feeling that she made a new friend.
"Ten gil.... but don't worry about that now you can pay later when its time to close the place." Tifa saw the look on her face and shook her head still smiling. " Don't worry about it Repa.... I actually think its a good idea. Its been a while since I left this bar to do something that doesn't involve working...... I think its a great idea and the cleaning can always wait till I come back." She paused for a moment to think, took a quick glance around the bar before turning to Repa. "You said you just came to Midgar right...... do you have a place to stay?"

Repa was feeling good by now. She figured this was the best start she had gotten so far. A place to go, a new friend, and no danger yet. It was all good. She placed her money pouch on the table and just waited. Things seemed to be dying down some as closing time came closer. "Thanks Tifa...again. I really appreciate this." She smiled as she looked around, Tifa had something work for, and that was nice. She had a job and everything to keep her busy, Repa felt like she wanted that. She had more than enough time to do something. So why not? Maybe this was inspiration for her to do something productive.
Repa looked at Tifa for a moment, thinking of the little place she rented. "I found a place a few blocks away...Im not sure if i like it yet though....It's all i could find on such short notice. But yes, i do have a place to stay" She shrugged resting her elbows on the table and resting her head on her fists under her chin.
