Characters: All the Heroes of Light and their Moogles.
Where: Order's Sanctuary, The Interdimensional Rift and their Homeworlds.
When: August 03rd - August 30th

Summary: Following the battle against Palitutu, all the Heroes of Light were transported into the Interdimensional Rift. They were told by Palitutu they would have to find her to prove they can break the cycle-- But before they could reach their destination, a malevolent entity from the Rift stripped them from their immortality...

And now, they woke up in a decaying and dying world, most specifically in a place called Order's Sanctuary. From there they are ready to jump... Into their homeworlds! Feel free to use this post for the Mingle at Order's Sanctuary and should your homeworld be the stage for the Heroes of Lights' next adventures, feel free to make a thread for it and as many sub-thread as necessary! Please refer to the OOC Post for questions and plotting.

Warning: Whatever you come up with.

Yuna takes point, heading up the path first. "I'm sorry," she apologized into the wind. "The path... maybe be gruelling," at lest with her guardians, they had signed up for this. There was a sense of responsibility she felt for the other worlds, roped into this perilous peak somehow.

As she dredged on, thousands of thoughts in her head and refusing to give any of them a voice. While they continued, several grave markers began to litter the path, some swords still in good shape, others rusted by time gone by.

And Yuna... stopped to offer a prayer to them all.

[It's not like Mars hasn't seen its share of interdimensional visitors before, that's for sure.]

The Marshal Station doors are open.

[A pleasant voice announces Kidd's entry into the small station, which is currently empty. Not robot or humans or Martians hanging out behind the desk. It's definitely Sparks Nevada's office, though, from how it's decorated (sparsely) and organized (incredibly well). Coffee is currently being made in the automatic coffee maker, but other than that, the office is quiet. For about a second, that is, when the doors announcing their opening is drowned out by someone's frantic yelling.]

Marshal, HAAAAAAAAALL---

[The yelling is cut off short when Felton doesn't see the Marshal, but some stranger standing in the station instead.]

---p?

Unlike the two debbie-downers so far, when Meredy stepped out into this world, her hands clapped together excitedly. It almost reminded her of Jini! "Wow, wow!" at least one of them would enjoy themselves. She's buzzing around the immediate area, looking from one thing to the next. "Where is this place? What happy music!"

She can't help herself, and starts to twirl.

( she breathes once the words finally leave her, but her hands clasp to wring together in uncertainty. ) But it can't be real, can it? Not if everyone is here...

( and then a realization dawns on her ) Rikku! You remember everything up until now, don't you? About Spira? About Crystallis?

"There. I know this must be hard for you, as well as on your friends. Pinkie Pie says you've all been through a lot lately. I hope you're able to find some time to rest and regain your strength here." Fluttershy will happily gently stroke his neck and chest, and then along his crest and above his eyes if he'll let her. Always was more comfortable with animals than with humans.

"My name is Fluttershy, and if you need anything, you can just come find me alright?"

Edna is looking pretty unimpressed with this whole world. She's sitting on one of the blocks that just seems to be littered all over the place— seriously, humans will leave their garbage anywhere. Her umbrella is folded on her lap as she watches while one of the area's goomba's inches closer and closer...

She shoot it a dangerous look, but he's still coming at her. So with an exasperated sigh, she stands up, hoists a leg, and brings it down to step on the goomba hard.

1000!

While they were going down the halls, she heard a cry and ended up carrying a small bundle in her arms. Poor thing somehow managed to get left behind during the rush. The mother in her wanted to hold onto the baby a little longer, she knew they weren't safe with her. How the baby managed to sleep amid the chaos was beyond her.

"Unless this world decides to be generous and drop the clue into our laps, that is. Wait, weren't some of the shelters used actually subway stations? We could try to use the tunnels to get around."

Luckily for Saori, blending into a crowd was part of the Assassin job. She had her hood off for the moment though, just to be safe since surely a hooded figure could possibly draw attention.

( not enough to get you to leave yet?
guess she'll have to try harder. from her spot in the water, edna starts to rock back and forth, creating a wave effect in the spring. )

[Squall opens the door to his room to let them file back inside. It was easier to talk here than it was anywhere else for the time being.

The check had turned up nothing. On one hand this eased Squall's mind that the Garden was safe but on the other he was slightly frustrated they couldn't find anything. He hated to admit it but there were already people in Aqures Ixen that he didn't want to see get hurt. And Palitutu not showing up here meant that they were elsewhere.

Which also meant they couldn't stay here much longer.

He moves over to his gunblade case that he left on the table. He knew he owed Zell an explanation but what was about to come out of his mouth would probably be pretty unbelievable for him.]

...A little over a month ago I was pulled into another world called Crystallis. For you, nothing would have changed. For me, I was stuck there. There's a calamity coming and we're trying to stop it. Selphie's been there for a lot longer than me, so she understands more than I do right now. It looks like we've been temporarily sent home, but I have a feeling that won't last. Unless we can find and stop Palitutu.

[He glances at Selphie for more explanation. He was getting tired of talking already.]

"Is that who I think it is?"

Strange, he thinks, that Sheena would be in here after what he just heard from her a few days ago. It's strange that he'd be here, too, and yet out steps the Chosen of Tethe'alla. With both hands on his hips, his eyes scan from Sheena to whoever she's brought behind her.

"What's going on?"

That she still felt bad about but would she and Thancred let her out if she spoke of going off to fight? More than likely no.

"I do apologize, my friend. I feared that there would not be enough to face our enemy in battle...she nearly got to us before our arrival in Mysidia moons ago. If it were not for Kalki, all of us would have parished...I did not wish it to be so those still among us."

"The temples refer to each other, right?" K'pandolu hummed, rubbing her chin. "It could be. But we won't know until we look. So- shall we do so?"

All the offices were empty—Thankfully enough, the people in this world seemed reasonable enough to know when it was time to run, unlike those in Crystallis. The only people behind them were doctors and nurses helping out the wounded. And indeed in the confusion no one noticed them… Or nearly no one. The soldier standing guard by the entrance of what was used as shelter gave a sideway glance at Sephiroth, Santa and Deadpool. The language was auto-translated, but it did nothing to help with the strange hair and unusual clothes, especially for a time of war such as this. He didn’t do anything for the moment, but his attention was caught, not to mention he had a light machine gun in hand. Hopefully he wasn’t too stressed out and anxious with all these bombings otherwise he might just shoot at the first occasion if they do anything seemingly threatening.

Besides this soldier, they would find the shelter filled with people—Lots of medical personnel, soldiers and even some children. Many of these people looked worried and scared, but as many looked as though this was an usual occurrence for them, just a bad moment to go through. Amongst the cacophony of voices, they could hear a little boy crying, while most others tried to keep silent.

“I-I don’t want to die…”

A feminine voice replied to him—Who strangely enough would sound familiar to many of the Heroes of Light.

“No one here will die.”

“But… This is so sca-scar-…”

“Last week, you told me you wish you had died with your parents. What brought this change?”

“I-I don’t know… I still… I-I…”

“I’m proud of you. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been. You’re very brave.”

The little boy’s voice went silent after that, though he could still be heard whining and crying a bit.

K'pandolu has been casting a few looks back, intrigued by the Ronso, so she misses any looks exchanged between the others. She focused her attention forwards at Yuna's words, squaring her shoulders. "We'll manage," she said. "We're not the first to have walked this path, are we?"

Though- the grave markers were not exactly the encouraging sign she would have hoped for. She stood back, uncertain, glancing at the others to see why they thought.

Ah… I'm sorry. Was Cosmos important to you?

[she looks around, ears dropping.]

Is there anything we can do about that?

K'pandolu spotted Lydia and made for her, Saki by her side. She was glad to see Lydia seemed all right, though she wasn't so pleased that Lydia had had to be pulled there with the rest of them.

"How are you feeling?"

Yeah, he's there.

[But Zell was concerned for her. She knew about Ifrit, but didn't remember Garden? That was definitely weird. Also, he was pretty sure from her reaction earlier she couldn't have been confusing him with someone else. No one else had his hair style or tattoo (that was one of the reasons he got them). And she had said his name.

He should probably take her to Dr. Kadowaki, but... he couldn't help hoping that something would catch her memory. He didn't want to think there was some new spell out there that even Esuna couldn't get rid of. She knew about Ifrit, so maybe seeing him will her?]

The cavern's already reserved for you 'til you complete it, so you can take some time to prepare.

Okay! Sounds good to me!

[Pinkie was pretty easy going about this sort of thing.]

I'll letcha know when we're set up.

Certainly not without great reluctance.

She lowered her head, ears dropping. She hadn't thought of that, but… she knew that feeling better than she'd ever wanted to. "I understand," she said. "I simply… I have no desire to lose anyone else again, as foolish as that may be." She reached for Minfilia's hand, edging as close as she could.

[By the time he manages to break free of Pinkie and her whirlwind festivities, Cloud is looking a little woozy on his feet. He's made his way over to the snack table to have some of the cider that's been talked up to him all day. It hits the spot too, leaving him rather refreshed, though he tries not to think about how he is able to hold the cup with a hoof.

He looks around the party and smiles. It's a shame most of the Heroes aren't here, but it's nice to see those who are in such good spirits, and also the strangers who are encouraging them to have a good time.]

[she notices, and steps forwards, reaching to brush her fingers against his hand for a brief moment. She can manage calm, clearly needed in this moment.]

Right. She wouldn't have gone off without company. So for now- until we find evidence- we assume that she's back in Crystallis and safe.

[Saki mostly looks worried, bringing a paw up to her face.] Should we go looking, do you think?

It's better than, say, twenty percent accuracy. And definitely more impressive than no accuracy at all.

[and she nods, rocking back on her heels to wait for information on which way they need to go.]

(ooc: this takes place at the end of the primary purpose of the trip, before the Heroes depart the world)

One of the first things Cloud had said when they arrived in this version of Gaia was that they should probably not go to Nibelheim. In fact he'd promised himself he wouldn't no matter how homesick he got. He knew it wouldn't be the same. He knew he was so far removed from this version of this world that it wouldn't be his Nibelheim for many more reasons than one.

He couldn't entirely keep that promise.

The blonde found himself standing next to his chocobo on a small rise out side of town. The rocky terrain made it impossible to get there in a straight shot, but it still gave a good view of all the houses. It was as he remembered, as if the fire he'd heard so much about never occurred. There were even wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys in those houses, twisting against the cold dry air blowing down from the mountains. He could pick out his own from the mingling. He could taste that familiar biting child with a touch of dirt and mako mingled with it.

He could go home right now if he wanted to.

"Maybe...maybe it didn't happen the way I heard. Maybe mom is safe after all..."

[Squall gives her a puzzled expression trying to piece together the strange way she explained things.]

Fiends? Are you saying you saw people in crystal stasis here, but as monsters?

[Squall gives her a small nod as an answer.

When the reach the cavern, Squall gives the command to the guards to let them in. Inside the place is exactly how one would expect. Hot and humid. Lava rivers flow heavily and the rocky paths are covered with jagged rocks. It's dark but illuminated by the surrounding lava pools and fires endlessly burning.

Just as predicted, as soon as they enter a Bomb floats over looking menacingly at them.]

It's all yours.
