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.

Maybe it'll be one of those things where if we think really hard, we can influence it?

... Nah, they gotta be fixed.

[Reno took a breath and squeezed Johnny's hand.]

Okay, well, we don't know what to expect, so let's get a couple other people together to be safe. And then we'll go through... that one?

[He picked a portal at random and looked to Johnny.]

[wickedone]

"The right to control others?" Azazer laughed, as if Sheena's statement was utter insanity. "You are merely corrupted code! You aren't people!"

Ales' Scan would provide valuable information to the group. Azazer's personal information was displayed to the Teensie: he possessed 99,000 HP and 9000 MP. For some reason, though, the Scan displays Azazer's MP in red.

"This isn't my world!" Albel growled at Yuri before retrieving his blade.

"Hmph. No, it isn't," Azazer scoffed. "Anomalies such as yourselves will never be allowed to continue their broken existence. Which is why you will all be erased. But I'll be taking no chances -- not after we were tipped off to your location."

Palitutu or Artemicion's doing, one could assume.

Azazer's smirk grew wicked. "I've already called for reinforcements. They'll be here any moment." He didn't expect Vincent to suddenly disappear, though.

"Find him!" Azazer shouted. "Attack now!"

"Kupo!" Mogdelina dive-bombed into the face of the guard who attempted to locate Vincent, protecting her favorite Hero. The guard stumbled back and shot wide, a laser beam burning into the ceiling. The second guard shot at Albel, burning his arm. But Albel had his own abilities again.

"Palm of Destruction!" Albel thrust out his gauntlet and a wave of dark energy emerged, slamming into the third guard and knocking him prone before he could attack.

Azazer didn't like whatever Ales was aiming at him, the tool looking similar to advanced 4D technology. That was the last thing these anomalies needed to access. He'd have to take care of that. Aiming at Ales with his own pistol, he Sniped at the Teensie with a short laser pulse.

Though Ales is hit, he does not appear to take any physical damage -- instead, he will feel a sharp, sudden headache.

[dammit_flynn]

"Great, so we're dealing with another..." problem. Yuri is so tired of all t his world hopping and shit. Damn it maybe he should have listened to Albel when they were chatting earlier. Oh well, there's no point really to dwell on what he didn't remember in the conversation. Time to focus on the battle.

Never mind that question, since Yuri pulls out his blade instead and dashes at Azazer next after Ales, and Albel's attacks, starting with Lone Wolf Charge to guard break the enemy for maximized damage. He's not going to be playing games either.

There really was no time for chatter. They have to do what they need to do right now.

[divineavenger]

"You can try, but you aren't going to succeed." Fayt rushed into the fray, using his smaller form and speed to get in close quickly. He's tracing a quick, obscure pattern in the air before swinging his arm wide, a burst of searing heat following the arc of it's motion and small fist sized orbs of energy forming.

"Shotgun blast!" The orbs quickly explode, miniature detonations pushing back the encroaching guards a distance and hopefully giving them some nasty burns.... but more importantly, giving the other heroes better room to attack as Yuri rushes through.

"You don't have the right to decide whether we live or die!"

[dammit_flynn]

That won't do. It'll probably not comb well if we stick around too long.

[ Yuri watched as Rukia sprinted ahead in the snow. Eventually, he and Repede followed suit after her towards the inn. They were all having a good time. He might as well keep the good feelings while they still have it. It'd definitely be nice to be inside and warm. He knew that much.

Soon, he made his way to her with Repede and shaking his head at her. While she sits close to the fire, he talks with the front desk. He comes after her a few moments later with a key to their room for the evening. ]

You're sure a ball of energy today, Shorty.

[umslay]

Ales kept his weapon up as the Scan returned results. The red was a major concern, though he had no clue what it meant. Albel would have to explain if it were related to this created world he lived in.

"Everyone!" he called when the numbers stabilized. "Be careful, this guy is strong!"

Before he could elaborate, before he could add in an attack on his own, his small body flung back from the force of the shot. In the split second he realized Azazer had targeted him, he reached for his chest in search of a wound. There was no blood. No torn clothing.

Only an awful headache.

He may be bleeding internally for all he knew, but that pain, that searing headache took all his attention away from the moment. Ales fell to the floor, let go of his weapon, and curled his arms over his head. He made no sound, but his tightly shut eyes twitched every so often.

[charming_jerk]

It took Johnny a few moments as he backpedaled away to realize that, thankfully, no one had been poisoned. But, something had happened, and he looked from person to person in confusion before the sensation reached him as well.

"What? What're you talkin' ab--"

He took a few more steps back, finally catching on.

"You've gotta be kidding me. We... we need to get outta here. Now."

Not that he had any idea where they were supposed to go.

[charming_jerk]

We'll just click our heels and say "There's no place like home".

[Right, right. Someday he'll stop making pop culture references around about 90% of the people he knows now.]

It's a movie. Ferget it. But sure, that one's as good as any, right?

[melnics]

"Ales!" Meredy called out as he crumpled to the ground, giving a sharp look to Azazer. She didn't know if it would help, but while the others were taking care of the physical attacking, she stayed in the back row, activating her Healing Program and casting it in the Teensie's direction.

[dolente]

Hunched over, she truly doubted that Kyoko could understand what had happened. Hitomi was going to take Kyousuke away and there was nothing, nothing she could do about it. This cursed body that was no longer human, how could anyone look at her in that way? He'd never know that she...

Maybe she belonged in that other world, more than here. "We're already empty shells."

Launching herself forward again, a burst of a musical score appeared underfoot, giving her a boost in speed, as familiars came from every direction again. But she paid no mind to them, aiming only for the witch in the thick of things.

Their numbers increased, creeping towards Kyoko as well, slithering up and ready to wrap themselves around both girls, though Sayaka didn't seem to notice... or care.

Not sure if <i>Stealth</i> wore off or remained while he was shooting.

[bloodypast]

Fayt's attack provided perfect cover for Vincent's own. The Charge Shot aimed for whichever of the guards looked most wounded--ready to take him down. Followed up with Trigger Happy against the other guard. Moving, Vincent took the needed downtime after that to reload and moved to place himself between any reinforcements and their group. Activating Shunshin to be ready even more for counterattacks.

[dolente]

Why did Hitomi ask to meet her at the food court? Why had she been looking at her that way all afternoon? This was supposed to be a happy, exciting day, Kyousuke was recovering! Enough to come back to school, even!

She stops, watching the redhead appear in front of her. A barrier? Shit, she hadn't even noticed... "I guess that's why you didn't show up for class," was her greeting, regarding the other girl's body language. An injury?

[foodchaining]

Kyoko watched as her raging friend burst forwards, the erratic behavior spoke levels of what the girl must be going through. While it was true, -- maybe, the lancer could not understand. But, the redhead knew bad. And shit was shit.

Taking feelings out on a witch (or, before Sayaka - maybe a person) -- seemed like mannerisms more suited to the lancer.

"-Tch. If you're empty right now I'm a goddamn saint."

The familiars that encroach near the red clad girl get downed easily. That was one of the most frustrating things. This witch would be so easy for her.

[dolente]

The familiars rammed into Sayaka haphazardly, and she did nothing to block them. Thick, black branches sprung from the witch's core, a girl praying in the distance, colliding with the blue magical girl violently, more streaks of red bringing colour into the labyrinth.

It didn't stop her though, with another burst of speed she was undeterred, flying in sword first, swinging it wildly.

"Heh heh... heh heh heh...!"

[foodchaining]

There's a moment, and an expression, of stark surprise. Sayaka on the other end -- Kyoko should have considered it might happen now, but had been too caught up in her head. Same reason her shoulder got banged up - being caught up in your head and battles don't mix.

Red skirts dissipate, leaving her in that ratty sweater zipped over the school uniform. Stuffing hands casually into the worn, familiar pockets to hide the use of the bad arm, if she's in any pain there's no indication.

There's an uncomfortable silence, then Kyoko is offering out a grief seed, red eyes slightly cast away.

[dolente]

"Huh?" A grief seed? Confused, Sayaka looks from the offering to the girl, then back and forth again. What was she getting at? Was this some kind of show of pity? Did Kyoko think she was so much of a rookie still that she couldn't even hunt her own witches?

But at the same time, for someone that coveted the seeds so that she could use her abilities without restraint... what did it mean?

"What's that for?" Maybe it sounded more cold than she meant it to.

[foodchaining]

Gritting teeth. Any other weapon would have snapped beneath her grip, she must have jerked forwards to pull the capped figure away from the mayhem to safety a hundred times.

But those wounds, they kept closing.

When would she have enough?

"Goddamn..."

[dolente]

A mix of dried brown and hot red, purples and blues turning to yellow — Sayaka's injuries were lending colour to the darkened world with their various stages of healing, but she didn't seem to notice, or care.

She had finally reached the witch, hacking and slashing at it with pure force. "Haha, hahahaha!" she laughed, the tone of her voice rising manically. "He's right!" she seemed to cry triumphantly, pounding the form of the witch into the ground, bits and pieces of Elsa Maria breaking off with a sickening sound. "If it do it this way, I don't feel anything at all!"

[foodchaining]

"Just shut up and accept it!" An irritated snap. Only, the girl seems almost...shy. Apologies are terribly outside of her comfort zone. "Damn, I mean. I know it doesn't...change anything. It's, because I upset you earlier. I mean don't get me wrong or anything -- normally that's funny as hell."

It wasn't though, this time. Although Kyoko honestly had no idea what she did wrong. Only that seeing Sayaka down she'd wanted to help, and messed up.

Knowing the justice seeking magical girl would not accept food because of her convictions, Kyoko'd hoped this would work. It was just, food for magical girls right? And, it would clearly be something she worked with integrity for.

[dolente]

What... the... hell... Sayaka was stunned into silence as she looked at the offering, not quite sure how to take this situation. It was the apples all over again, that she'd slapped away, then found herself being lifted up by the collar a moment later. It was Kyoko's way of... well, it was just Kyoko's way, she was beginning to realize.

"You keep it," she finally said, though there was no hint of hostility in her tone with the suggestion. She just... knew how much Grief Seeds meant to someone like the lancer. "I have to— I'm on my way to meet someone, so..." there was a nervous chuckle, as she scratched the back of her head.

"I mean, it would be weird to have on me, you know?" Accepting help wasn't Sayaka's forté but, even as someone as dense as she could be saw the gesture for what it was. For once.

[foodchaining]

A hand cups around the grief seed, as it gets stuffed back into the pocket with her good arm.

Shit, even her apology got rejected. It's not like, she expected Sayaka to accept her, or say they were friends. She'd just wanted to make it up somehow.

Were you supposed to be friends to be able to apologize?

"Fine." With a whip of a ponytail she turns, and walks away.

[foodchaining]

"Shit Sayaka, that's enough."

At some point Kyoko had moved closer to the madness that was the blood drenched girl. "Come off it." Eyeing the battered bits of the witch, she reached hesitantly towards her friend.

This wasn't just ripping something apart because you had some bad shit going on, it reminded her more like the crazies people got when that monster bit of them surfaces after too much sake.

[not_most_days]

Mary bared her teeth at the Doctor as he began to laugh. He may be delighting in what just happened but she's done worse to men for similar to what she feels he's done to Jack. Not all the men who died when Calico Jack's crew was arrested were slain by the British. A few of the shots fired into the hold came from her own gun for them being too drunk to help.

"You speak of loyalty but it seems I have more for him than you do. I'm sure what you do is important, I believe the tales he's told us about you. But it's the way that he tells them that is telling. He's still waiting for you to come back, to take him along with you on your next journey. You don't help people by keeping away from them, and certainly not when you can't be bothered to speak to let them know you care."

She sighed and walked away from him, not leaving but pacing, "You said there were others who traveled with you. Jack said much the same. You do this to them too don't you? Travel with them and then leave them behind? You said before that the hardest thing for you to do is to walk away, but it seems you're a fair hand at running."

She turned towards him once more, glaring into his eyes, "You're not a fairy tail. You're real. And if you inspire someone as much as you have him you have no right to reprimand him for following the path you set. You're the sort who thinks you always know the right way, the only way to do something, aren't you? Who do you think you are?"

[ninjainviolet]

Sheena nodded. She recalled seeing the change her friend went through and how he had helped Lucrecia, but after that, she had lost track of him for a little bit. But he's right in how his actions like that had been perceived by her. To her credit, she didn't let that confirmation of her theory show in her eyes or her expression as he continued.

"I think we all were all focused on it by that point," she mused quietly. His words, however, caused her brows to knit together slightly.

"Vincent, you talk about Chaos like he's another person. Another person who's a part of you. Is that what's going on?" She rested a hand on his arm, concerned.

[damn_juicebox]

Hmmmm... You may have a point. There's something rejuvenating about this place, I admit.

[She smiles as she turns in place, turning her backside toward the fire as she lightly runs her fingers through the spiked tips of her dark hair to rid herself of the melting snow and ice.]

I wonder what it is.

[The elves, meanwhile, are shooting confused looks at Yuri who appears to be talking to the fire and calling it 'shorty.' These new travelers sure seem odd! What holiday did they come from?]
