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 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."

Genesis smiled softly when she heard him say the word and reach out to take the apple. She was disappointed he didn't actually come out and he couldn't be took comfortable. With that in mind, she took out another and this time, set it a bit further out and she scooted backward.

"He won't eat you," Genesis replied sternly, but softly. At least, I don't think he will. But she didn't voice those thoughts. It wouldn't do the alarm the moogles, after all.
rhapsoidein: (And if it happens again)

Now that Angeal was getting closer, she was able to get a better look at him. The moogles squeaked in fright and hid behind a nearby tree while Genesis struggled to take it all in. This... this is what Angeal became? It broke her heart.

Was this why she hadn't seen him in a few weeks prior to their meeting with Lazard at the Mines? Granted, she didn't see him at the mines either, none of them had showed yet by the time she was whisked away to Aqueres. She reached out to rest her hand on his massive one, to keep it there as he ate the other apple, brokenly remembering words from home.

"Yes, Banora," She nodded, placing two more apples on the armored hand. Her hand looked so tiny compared to his and she knew he could easily crush it. Just like the other woman had so easily killed her in the Facility. She banished that thought for now, it wasn't the time. "We grew up there. You... and I."

"Yes, home," She murmured, placing a third apple on his hand. She didn't remind him that it had been destroyed. Now wasn't the time. "But, this place is our home too. We should head back."

Angeal didn't have to hide, she would take care of him until this, whatever this was, passed. She didn't know what she could actually do for him but whatever could be done, would be.

"Please?"

Genesis wanted to tell him that she was no SOLDIER. Not anymore. But she took the apple instead and smiled at him, shaking her head. It was all she could say as she backed up to watch him finally stand up. She gasped at his sheer size, holding the apple to her chest as she looked up.

He wasn't going to fit in her house.

"Yes, home, but... I don't think you can go inside," She said, placing the apple back in the bag and gesturing for the moogles to come over. "Don't worry. I will think of something."
rhapsoidein: (To the arms and the lips and the face)

"No, you're a bit too big," Genesis gave him an apologetic look. "But I will figure something out. We have a porch that is big enough, I think. I can hook something over the front, that way you won't have to worry about other people or the weather."

The moogles still held each other as they flew over, keeping behind Genesis in their fear. Genesis turned around to huff at them. "Knock it off, you two. It's Angeal."
rhapsoidein: (And I am taken to a place where)

Genesis bopped Mogington's head. "I said stop that, you're hurting his feelings and I don't appreciate that."

Monty wasn't sure whose side to take at this point so he wisely stayed silent, but he did shaking a little in fright. Of Angeal or Genesis' temper, it was hard to tell.

She crossed her arms and looked back to Angeal. "Don't be sorry. Let's just get you somewhere safe where you can rest that doesn't involve squeezing into tight places." As for the growling stomach, Genesis handed him the rest of her apples, about five in total.
rhapsoidein: (But ooh I'd die to find out)

[personal profile] rhapsoidein 2014-10-30 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Genesis reached for her staff when she heard the bushes rumble, although she was fairly surprised at how fast Angeal moved. However, only a deer popped out and Genesis was quick to lay her hand on his arm. "Easy, Angeal. It's just a deer."

The deer itself continued on, not exactly wanting to stay with people around, including a monster.
rhapsoidein: (Getting perfect)

Genesis patted his arm once the tension died and the weapons were put away. She waited a few more moments before decided it was a good time to start walking, gently patting the massive arm and moved forward.

She wasn't sure what else to say right now, however. She was without words for once. Still, despite the odd looks they were getting, they made it home and she gestured to the porch side. "Stay there for now while I grab a blanket or two for suitable cover, okay?"
rhapsoidein: (I just close my eyes)

[personal profile] rhapsoidein 2014-10-30 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Genesis nodded and waited for Angeal to settle. She turned to the moogles. "Watch him for me? I promise, he won't hurt you or eat you. I'm going to get some extra blankets or sheets, whichever is bigger, to hang over the awning. It's been awfully cloudy, so I want to prevent any rain coming in."

Monty and Mogington nodded, although they kept their distance regardless. Genesis frowned at them but didn't say anything else as she walked back inside and dug around for whatever was bigger. She wished they had some sort of tenting though, in case in rained, but she supposed she could figure that out later. She found a couple sheets and pulled them out, bundling them up in arms and also grabbing whatever was heavy to place on top of them. She didn't have any tools to nail them down currently.

She climbed onto the awning by getting onto the fence and hauling herself up, Monty bringing her the sheet and Mogington giving her the heavy items. "Well, it looks more like a blanket fort, but it will do for now."
rhapsoidein: (Subway makes me nervous)

"Right, kupo!"

Genesis was a bit surprised as he helped her up onto the roof and kept her steady. But she worked dutifully nonetheless, placing the heavy items onto the sheets first to keep them steady as she worked to tie them off wherever she could. She left the heavy object up there just in case.

Finally, it was all done and she worked her way down off the porch. She felt a lot less graceful than usual, although she never really had to climb much before. She could usually jump with ease. "Alright, that should do it."
