Before Night Falls (Open post)

Characters: Angeal Hewley and anyone that would notice him gone or notice the break in his routines.
Where: Start in Aqures Ixen in the Residential areas and then Ends in the forest just outside of town.
When: October 28th.
Summary: It's Angeal's Reunion and it's not a pretty sight.
Warning: Weird things happen whenever genetics decide to play up and pick things out of Darwin's grab bag.

These past two weeks had put Angeal outside of reach. He felt the gnawing sensations gnashing and clawing, the monster inside was trying to break free. Just two days ago, the white streaks in his hair made him realize that there was something seriously wrong.

He had said nothing to Zack and it felt like a knife in his gut that he had to leave his friend again. In the night, he quietly slipped away with no note left behind and no way to contact him. Mogington was worried, clearly, and followed after Angeal. "What's wrong, kupo?"

Angeal said nothing to Mogington but instead he pushed the moogle away in a manner unlike anything Angeal had ever done. He didn't want the moogle to get involved. First, the wings sprouted from his back and left behind a trail of feathers from the residential area to the edge of the forest. With each step, excruciating pain followed. He was shifting into a monstrous form and Mogington watched it all in horror that he couldn't do anything to help his hero.

Mogington flew off to find anyone that could help and his first four contacts were Zack, Sephiroth, Genesis and Genny. "Angeal's in trouble, kupo!"

Meanwhile, Angeal found a space under fallen trees and made his way inside the space to keep himself from view of others. It wasn't so much hiding out of shame, he was trying to keep himself away for the sake of others. It hurt that he had to do this but his humanity had begun to slip away.

Genesis had been already on edge since the Magitek Facility and from Shun leaving. The kid and her hadn't grown close or anything, but she had gotten used to the extra person in the house and it was oddly lonely without him now. But now that Mogington was yelling out that Angeal was in trouble (but like how Monty did the same, ironically enough), she felt almost frazzled.

But, she said nothing, she simply grabbed her things, a bag of fruit, and ordered Mogington to take her to him. She didn't need him to explain what was going on. She was listening to closely to the others, the way old symptoms were cropping up. All Lester needed to mention were the wings (and all she needed to see were the feathers) to know what was going on. Granted, her Angeal never made it to Reunion, but she had read the notes about it. She never quite was sure if it would ever happen to them since they had received the cells in a different manner.

She panted hard as she made it to the spot just as the sun finished setting, deep purples and oranges colored the forest and elongated the shadows. There was no mistaking the hulking figure under some fallen trees. She stepped over to the trees, carefully peeking through them. "Angeal?"
rhapsoidein: (Conversation has a time and place)

[personal profile] rhapsoidein 2014-10-29 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Genesis stopped where she was and looked at the two moogles. "And you're scaring him. Quiet down, you two."

Monty tilted his head. "How can we be scaring him, kupo? He's huge and has those spikes and and-"

"And nothing, Monty. A true monster attacks, it doesn't retreat. And he's retreating," She said, ignoring the odd rumble and grumble of this new form. She crouched down and get underneath the fallen trees. She could barely see a thing in there, but she wanted to try and coax him out. "Angeal? I know it's you. You don't need to be frightened, it's only me."
rhapsoidein: (So can we find out?)

[personal profile] rhapsoidein 2014-10-29 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Genesis was relieved to see Angeal reaching out to her but then he retreated once more and buried himself away. Pain? She frowned, eyebrows furrowing as she tried to imagine what he must be going through. She had a feeling, given she thought herself a monster not too long ago. But aside from her wing, she never took on a monstrous form.

She looked behind her and gestured to Monty. "Give me the bag of fruit, Monty. I have an idea. You and Lester should stay back though."

Monty gave her the bag before retreating, taking Mogington's hand to fly back a little further, but they could still see and hear everything. Genesis dug into the bag and pulled out an apple, she knew Angeal wouldn't want her approaching at this point, so she needed him to do it instead. She held it out to show what she had and then let down onto the ground. She scooted backward a bit. "Apples always did make you feel better, pity they aren't Banora Whites."

thegreatninja: (hey now)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-10-29 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It was part of her routine to check on all the SOLDIER boys and with Sephiroth acting strange she wasn't surprised to see Angeal being weird as well. Whatever it was, it was spreading and while she wanted to deny it she was beginning to get sick as well. A black mark formed on her arm that she kept hidden by a tightly wrapped rough canvas. Her forehead was sweating and it was possible that she was ignoring a growing fever.

Mooshoo wanted no part in her pushing herself so he opted to stay behind but ended up silently following her anyway.

Yuffie spotted the trail of feathers and picked one up curiously. "Really?" Her eyes followed the trail and after a few moments of circular logic she decided to follow it further into the forest. She wasn't walking very fast but she eventually found the hole that Angeal was hiding in. He was a big guy and even under a tree she could tell it was him.

The young ninja kept her distance wondering if it was like what is happening to Sephiroth. "Are you sick too?"
thegreatninja: (why would you say that)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-10-29 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"WHOA!" Yuffie ducked even though she wasn't his tails target. She stood and stared in awe for a moment at his change; definitely not like what was happening to her roommate. She took a few steps closer pulling an item from her pouch.

"Hey, Hey. Remember me... I stole your camera." Probably not the best thing to remind him about right now but she had a point. "Look here. This is yours right? It's important isn't it?" She held the camera out in her hand so he could see it.

Yuffie could only assume it was important but the Angeal she knew; though grumpy, tall, brooding and annoying, wouldn't hurt someone without reason. She has given him reason on more than a few occasion to hurt her and he still hasn't.
thegreatninja: (wait what)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-10-29 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"You are Angeal." She paused. "Aren't you?" Yuffie was grateful that she had the camera now. As long as she holds it she will probably not become a target but then again the longer she stayed the longer she risked that.

"So look. Weird things have been happening right? So just stay calm... someone will figure it out." Someone who is hopefully smarter than Yuffie. They might have been enemy's but she didn't want things happening to the people from her own world. I reminded her of her focus and the path she set for herself; she didn't want to forget.

goddessofthesky: (oh no)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-29 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She had been knocking on Angeal's door for a few minutes now and has been greeted with an eerie silence. Zelda was sure that he was usually home around this time and his absence made her worry. So many strange things have been happening and it was too much for her to keep up with. She had been visiting as many of the heroes as she could, checking in to make sure that they were alright; most were sick while some have disappeared completely. She only hoped that they were sent back to their homes.

She gently knocked on the door once more when the frantic moogle came into sight. She was caught off guard for a moment, dropping the basket that she had been carrying when she heard the moogles news. "Where is he?" Her worry made her forget her basket and the soup that she had brought. She followed the little moogle without another word while her fears slowly began to rise.

Once she arrived at the hole her pace slowed to a stop. "Angeal?" She was out of breath and quietly gasped for air as her sight landed on her friend. "What's happened?"
goddessofthesky: (thinking)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-29 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Zelda remained strong and kept her gaze steadily on Angeal. A soft, comforting smile stretched across her lips as she watched her friend. "Let me try and help."

She has seen darkness up close and knew what it felt like to have it surround you, threatening to take hold. If he was fighting some demon inside only he could do it but she was going to let him know that she was here for him. After a moment she took a few steps back, bringing Mogington with her. "Can you run and get my harp for me?" It was something small but she wanted to help, even if that meant just reminding him that she was there.

Her eyes rested back on Angeal while she tried to fight down her rising fear.
goddessofthesky: (hold me)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-29 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
She nodded and then watched for a moment as the two flew off. Hopefully they would be safe if they were together. She walked a little closer and sat under a nearby tree, resting her back against the rough bark. Her gaze was calm and her expression soft as she looked over towards Angeal. "I'm sure you can hear me. Until they get back, why don't I tell you a story?"

Zelda hoped he would hold on to her words and that some how it would bring him back to her. She found music to be the best link and she remembered a song that Cloud had taught her when she first got her harp back but she wasn't going to risk waiting. "Once upon a time there was a hero. He fought against the pure darkness that ravaged the land. The whole planet was threatened to face its destruction. The goddess Hylia took her people and sent them safely up into the sky. Then, together with this great hero, Hyila used all of her power to sealed the darkness away. The hero would then be reborn whenever the darkness threatened her people again."

She shifted tucking her legs to the side. "What no one knows is this heroes struggles during that war. He pulled the darkness in himself and found the inner strength to defeat it. His life was lost in the war and only his spirit could be saved but he never regretted it." Her voice remained sweet and comforting as she told her tale. She poured her whole heart into her words. It was the first time she reached into her memories and shared it with another.

Spencer / Mogington - A-02

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-10-30 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
By the time that Mogington found Spencer -it wasn't all that hard, being as they were neighbors- small sobbing noises could be heard from the other side of closed door into the room Sephiroth hadn't come out of for at least the last three days.

When the other moogle then entered, it was to a dark and gloomy room. The curtains were still mostly closed even if the breeze outside rustled them every so often. Spencer was lain down on the edge of the bed next to his Hero, every so often moving his head against the bare forearm there as if he might coax some life back into Sephiroth.

He hadn't been dead for long, these would be the final moments before his being would vanish. Just like all other Heroes did when they died.

"Who-" Spencer sniffed back the last wave of sobs and sat back up looking over to the doorway. "Who is there, Kupo?"

Spencer just sat there on the edge of the bed looking over Mogington. He wiped at his furry face with the back of the hand that wasn't still in a sling and then turned to look over Sephiroth again. He wanted that chest, covered up by blankets, to raise once more. He wanted to hear the wheezing sound that breathing had been for his Hero in the last few hours before it had stopped when he'd finally passed out. Sephiroth had fought so hard to stay awake to avoid exactly that. There was still a semi-fresh steaming mug of tea on the bedside.

"He just fell asleep Mogington. I didn't know what to do. Then he stopped-" Spencer nearly choked on the next word. "He just went away, just like that."

jiyunotaika: (Tell me your woes)

Of course he noticed Angeal's disappearance, it was hard not to when he didn't wake up to the other SOLDIER harassing him to get out of bed for some training. Zack dressed quickly when he realized he rolled over and a stream of mid-morning light was streaming across his face.

There was nothing in the house to indicate where or why Angeal had left but he hardly needed one. It was just like the other to leave and not tell him anything, especially when it involved his origins.

So he's not surprised when he stepped out of the house to run straight into Mogington. Literally. The moogle collided with Zack's head but it didn't seem to matter as he went on to deliver the message. "Lead the way."

That's why sometime later he's making his way through the forest with not just one but two moogles trailing behind him. When he reached the spot that Mogington directed him too, Zack put both fists against his hips and looked over Angeal.

"You know, two Angeal copies have saved my life a few times. It was kind of like you were watching over me even when you weren't around." He said casually, moving over to sit on one of the fallen trees.
neverfirstclass: (Huh?)

[personal profile] neverfirstclass 2014-11-04 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Granted Cloud had been in less and less shape to train with Angeal as October wore on, it was a surprise when he did not run into the senior SOLDIER at all that morning. He could at least count on giving him a nod in passing, but this time he didn't see Angeal on his usual paths.

Dumb luck managed to bring Cloud around to his house just as Mogington flew by. "You're...Angeal's moogle right? Is he okay?"
neverfirstclass: (Holy crap!)

[personal profile] neverfirstclass 2014-11-13 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't a very strong tug, but Cloud went with it anyway. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he was glad for his decision to change into his Magitek Knight gear as of late. Not only would the armor be of use if Angeal was in serious trouble, but it did a good job of hiding how bad his arm was getting.

"W-wings? What do you mean he grew wings?" He moved a bit faster now, not about to let the confusion slow them down. That Angeal was in trouble was all he needed to motivate his feet. His right hand drifted to his left arm as he jogged along after Mogington, "What is he sick with?"
