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.

"Someone has to be cursed to balance out a wish for someone else's happiness..." just as her voice started to shake, so too did the world around them. As though this Mitakihara had just been an illusion all along, it started to crumble and quake around them, small bits of the sky twinkling down to the breaking earth.

"That's how magical girls work..." the shards of reality began to come down in larger pieces, as Sayaka leaned backwards, her eyes filled with tears, as a solitary stray fell down onto the soul gem, cracking its surface, as the main plaza of the world of Crystallis took shape behind the falling puzzle pieces around them.

"I was stupid... so stupid."

[foodchaining]

All these hopeless words, from the girl who had helped her find some again. Crimson eyes are locked onto the once blue gem. Sayaka seemed, seemed --

In the girls mind's eye, a man hangs from a noose.

So Fragile. Just as the grief seed may have come close, it crumbles. "Ah! Shit!"

Sayaka, her soul gem! Kyoko's watched with terror as the tear struck.

[dolente]

And everything comes crashing down.

There's a far off scream somewhere in the world that's falling apart. The sounds of a violin, the shattering of a darkened grief seed that comes from seemingly nowhere. In the blackness beyond, the form of a witch takes shape, as Sayaka's body falls lifelessly to the ground.

Out from the shadows between dimensions, dancing familiars have come to play.

[foodchaining]

Maybe this was, all just a bad dream.

There's the slightest of pauses after everything shatters, including her friend.

A red gem appears and her transformation is a quick one. Dashing over to stand sentinel over the still form of the blue haired girl, the modules of her lance unfurl in a predatory fashion.

"What the hell did you do to her you stupid witch?!"

[dolente]

In the backdrop, the witch brings down a sword, as the music around them rises crescendos to life. The dancing girls begin to launch themselves at Kyoko and the fallen girl, as spinning wheels take shape and gain momentum.

A pedestal rises, revealing the mermaid tail of the witch, a siren come to drown her prey.

[foodchaining]

Not good.

Kyoko is a fierce fighter, but Sayaka is too vulnerable. A whirlwind of whip like attacks with the twirling familiars keep them at bay - but fighting in one place won't work for long.

Hands clasp together as if in prayer, a red chainlink barrier rising up from the ground between the girls and where the witch resides.

[dolente]

The force of the whirlwind caused Sayaka's body to turn just slightly, as her face stayed down, the weight of her head keeping it grounded as her limbs contorted strangely.

The familiars scattered wildly, putting up no fight, though they rose again with the intention to twirl close and closer, mindlessly drawn to the magical girl. As the barrier erected, Oktavia reached with an unforgiving sword to smash against it, wham, wham, wham!— as the tiny arms and legs of the dancers joined in the chorus.

Behind them, Crystallis was starting to come in more clearly, the colours and sounds returning to the world... making one wonder which place the dream may really be.

[foodchaining]

God, Sayaka...

This was no time to be cocky about her fighting abilities, dream or reality - she had to choose. Fight the witch, or get the fallen girl to safety. It was clear she would not survive both.

Kneeling down in order to lift up the dead girl, the reality of Sayaka's state hits her harder than Oktavia's sword - even as the attacks drain her magic until the barrier collapses.

A sheen of sweat plastering red bangs to her forehead, breath labored, she summons up a new curtain of red to protect them - this one weaker than the last.

Crystallis. They were happier there. Maybe if she gets the fallen magical girl there, she'll even just wake up from a nightmare!

[dolente]

There's a backlash that has the witch yelling something incoherent, a mixture of some animalistic cry— laced with the familiar sounds of a voice that's been lost. There's a new wave of spinning wheels, conjured in time to make it past this second wave of a barrier, though it kept the witch at bay, much to it's frustration.

More cries sounded into the night, fading as this otherworldly familiar landscape became more and more real, but haunting all the same.

And just like that, Mitakihara finally vanished, leaving the two girls in the night air, safe in the town's square.

[foodchaining]

Kyoko's breath forms a fog in the air when she finally slows to a stop. Sayaka cradled between two arms as if the two were not near the same size. At her heart and in her heels she still feels the witch, looking behind them once more to make sure the coast is clear.

"...Hey." she gives the blue haired girl a nudge, as if trying to jostle her awake.

[dolente]

At the movement, Sayaka's body stiffens immediately. Not wholly unlike you might expect rigor mortis to be like, except for the fact that she nearly seemed to spring into it.

It started with her extremities, shoes and fingertips looking as though they burned white, as crystal formed from them, cascading up her limbs, moving almost snakelike with a clinking sort of sound, as it formed all around her.

Crystal stasis had claimed another.

[foodchaining]

"Sayakaaa!"

Kyoko clasps the girl that's already gone close to her, as if it could make a difference. Her muscles tense as the weight dramatically increases as stasis takes over.

A crystal form in her arms, the redhead shaking and defeated, falls to her knees. Twisting in a sacrificial manner to ensure Sayaka takes no harm.

She had, one precious thing worth protecting. It wasn't changing now.
