Event || Revelations

[melodiesmods]

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.

[It would be better for all of them if only the smallest changes happened. While it might be the future for some of them, it seems like Mikleo's version of events was exactly what Sorey was going for. Either way there isn't a whole lot they can do at this point but try to minimize the damage done.

Sorey believes in Mikleo and he'll believe in everyone else who was brought there too even if he's never even met them. That's all he can really do for the moment besides trying to help them uncover any secrets or maybe a solution to the problem they're facing. And anything he can do to make sure the Heroes get back there and not stuck here.

Maybe eventually he'll tell Mikleo what he was going to say. Right now he doesn't have enough information on the situation... or if Sorey would even be able to pull it off. He's seriously torn by this idea and so he holds back until he can be certain of himself. It isn't a choice that can be made lightly, after all. So they'll both have to wait before Sorey feels he can say what he wanted to say in this moment.

Even as he looks through the journal, he's listening to Mikleo at the same time.]

So the Calamity is the reason for you coming back here with others from Crystallis? Or was it something else? What were you doing before these rifts opened?

[In response to his friend's question of how good he did, Sorey has a very enthusiastic nod happening that definitely looks strange considering he isn't taking his eyes away from the notebook.

However his multitasking is halted when Mikleo suddenly grabs his shoulder. Only then does he lift the book to look down at the ground at his feet and the rock he certainly would have tripped over. He gives his friend a sheepish look and laughs a little while he does it.]

Oops. Guess I shouldn't be reading and walking around here. [If it were Elysia or the surrounding areas he would have no trouble navigating around without looking down but the terrain is unfamiliar.

He closes the notebook with a snap and holds it out to Mikleo.] Here, you better hold on to this until we stop somewhere for the night.

[ Minimizing the damage seems to be the only thing they can do right now without altering all the things that will happen in the future. He sure hopes he won't be completely tripped out when his memories are messed with. He'll just trust himself for the time being and go with what he thinks is best for everyone and himself.

He really wants to be optimistic about it and believe that they'll pull through. After all. they were able to save Glenwood from Heldalf. They're trying to find and fight a completely different entity right not but they can't be too different from what he's used to. He won't prod the other for answers. He'll let it go and Sorey can tell him when he's ready and when they have more information. ]

I'm not entirely sure Crystallis is involved. The place we were taken to is a completely different realm from Crystallis. It's a rift that shouldn't have existed, but is there. It has a similar feeling to that of-- Hexen Isle.

[ He paused for a moment trying to recall what he did before this. ]

I was working at the cafe coming up with their new menu. I was making a parfait, but someone already ate it before I could finish it.

[ Selphie. Not that he was against it. The girl looked at him like her life was dependent on the parfait. Don't laugh like that Sorey, you could have hurt yourself and he's totally not okay with this. ]

Probably not if you're going to forget everything around you.

[ He takes the book from Sorey. ]

Alright, let's find an inn and recuperate for the time being. Perhaps, we'll meet up with the others-- unless they're with you.

[theruinsarecalling]

[They'll do whatever they can to keep the changes to a minimum. He's pretty glad that there isn't a second Mikleo hanging out inside of him or things would definitely get complicated. Sorey doesn't even want to think about what could happen if they touched or something.

For the moment he turns his thoughts away from what his friend has to do in Crystallis and focuses his attention on what is currently happening in Glenwood. Though he does think that they should get Mikleo back to the other world just in case the seraph's presence is needed there. How the other will take that idea, Sorey can already guess.]

It can't be our world. You would have already gone through all of it, wouldn't you? [His head is starting to hurt from thinking about all of this.] Where?

[Mikleo... he's never been to Hexen Isle. They haven't even made it out of Camlann's broken village yet or been anywhere near Heldalf yet.]

A cafe? Really? Well, your cold desserts are the best.

[Sorey is totally laughing on the inside to the point where it shows on his face in a grin. At least he's giving up that notebook willingly, he could have tried to keep it. Though he knows when to put aside his burning curiosity and be focusing on other things.]

You should've known better than to let me have it in the first place.

[A gentle ribbing as he reaches out to poke Mikleo in the side.]

Mikleo. We're closer to home than to an inn. We can just stay there for the night and figure out where to go from there.

[water_meebo]

[ That's all they can do and that's fine. No matter what happens, he's going to accept it as it is and not let it affect him too much. Mikleo is glad for that too but at the same time he wondered what it'd be like to talk to himself in that manner. At least, for now he doesn't have to think about it. He has to keep going forward and searched for the entity that brought them here. ]

Yes, more or less. There is a lot that you have yet to experience. I am uncertain if I should talk about them right now.

[ He let that slipped without realizing didn't he? How did he explain Hexen Isle? ]

It's place here in Glenwood that were transported to, with a similar feeling to the rifts that appeared back in the place I was in. Some sort of rift was opened due to the mass concentration of malevolence. We met two people there from different worlds.

[ That's as basic as he can explain it and he'll just keep it at that. ]

Yes. they were short staffed. I was exchanging letters with the previous owner before she had fallen in the Crystal Stasis.

[ He fought the urge not to slap a hand over his face for that comment. It's because he always had to make them for Sorey because that was all he knew as a kid! Damn you for not eating correctly. Mikleo just crosses his arms as he stares at Sorey with a displeased expression on his face for laughing. ]

I was hoping you'd have more self control. I suppose I shouldn't have expected it huh?

[ He gives up with you Sorey only now that he just got jabbed at the side. ]

!!!!

[ He jumps at the contact. In return he's going to jab him back. ]

Right, Elysia is on the other side of Camlann.

[ Man he's rusty. There had been too much on his mind and he totally didn't think about it when he said that. That was embarrassing to say the least. ] Yeah, perhaps we can check in with everyone in Elysia.

[theruinsarecalling]

[It might be Mikleo overdose if there were two of him. Twice as many Mikleos for Sorey to get excited with, twice as many Mikleos for Edna to make fun of... (and if there are two Mikleos there'd be two Ednas too, consider that). Really they're better off with only one of each person.]

So whoever is responsible has to be from Crystallis. [He does consider what his friend has to say about this Hexen Isle as well.] Maybe they were able to create the rift here because all of the malevolence made it easier if that happens in the future.

[Good thing Sorey kind of lets that story of the future roll right off him. There is no attempt to probe deeper into what world they go to or who they meet.

Though Sorey does look curious at the words:] Crystal Stasis? What's that? It's nice of you to help them out.

[Mikleo's comment about exchanging letters is also something he thinks over. He remembers when his friend explained that seraphs could put mana into objects so humans can see them but Mikleo has never done it before as far as he knows. Of course he doesn't instantly jump to the conclusion that humans can see seraphim in the other world because it hasn't been brought up.]

Hey, it was too good to pass up!

[Information about ruins in another world, it's the worst kind of temptation there is for him.

:I

He expects the jab back and with that it is on. Sorey is now turning this into a competition of who can poke the other more.]

Try not to look shocked when they aren't too surprised to see us. We were there recently. [A gentle reminder.]

[water_meebo]

[ That's true. There's too many paradoxes to consider on top of that. What would it be like to meet his past self now? That'd definitely be really weird and trippy on its own. Two Ednas would not sit well with him since one of her was more than enough to handle. Two of them would make him have nightmares. He'll have to pass on that. ]

Most likely, or something connecting Crystallis and the Heroes of Light to the rift.

[ He replies with a nod of his head when Sorey speaks to confirm what he's saying. ]

Perhaps, but that isn't an explanation that every world can go by. I believe that all the rifts lead to different worlds. They must have something there that is attracting them to creating the rift.

[ Makes it easier for Mikleo honestly. It would take a while to explain every single detail to Sorey. He'll keep it as brief as he can since Sorey's focused on the rifts and Crystallis instead of Glenwood. ]

It's-- I suppose it's more like a device in which encases Heroes of Light for a period of time when they fall ill. It's suppose to help restore them and such things like resurrection is possible due to the abilities of the world. Death is but a typical thing in the world since you can revive. Sometimes people are held in the Crystal Stasis for such a long time that they'll never awaken.

I suppose. It isn't that difficult of a job.

[ He replies not really too over emotional about it. It is what it is. He works hard to help others to the best of his abilities. ]

Doesn't mean you can be careless, Sorey.

[ Yeah, yeah he knows but voice of reason. Voice. OF. Reason. Mikleo is fighting him off to the best of his abilities as he continues to jab the other back through their conversation. So much for seriousness with these two dorks. ]

I am aware.

[ He replies after a few breaths. ] I won't do anything careless.

[theruinsarecalling]

[What would his younger self think to meet a supposed future version? That is the real question. With doubles they could have easily thought it was an illusion created by Symmone and future!Mikleo knows how well that's going to go over in the group's future - doubles of them. And well, yeah. Double Ednas is a bit much.

One of Sorey's hands goes to his chin as he thinks over all that he knows about his world and Crystallis. With only limited information on the other world, there's only one common factor between all of the worlds.]

Well, there is something that brought you all to Crystallis originally, right? That means there must have been a rift you all traveled through to get there in the first place. A pathway doesn't just go in one direction - you can travel on it in either direction. If it can pull you in, it can push you back. I mean, it didn't open up to a bunch of other worlds that no one came from, did it?

[Not yet so his theory does make sense. His hand curls into a fist and he thumps it into the palm of his other hand.]

So if you can figure out if that's the problem, you can try to find a way to fix it!

[Brilliant in theory but not so easy to perform, he knows but Mikleo can get his head around it better than some others. Maybe it'll work and maybe it won't but all they can really do is try.]

That's... [Actually that bit of information kind of makes the air in his lungs rush out all at once.] So you get sick and you get encased in a device, you die and it does the same - it can restore a person but also keep them in a deep sleep?

[He isn't entirely sure he likes the concept behind this device.]

Are you only making cold desserts or have you been attempting hot ones too?

[Plz do not be poisoning people with what are supposed to be warm desserts, Mik.]

I know, I know. Sorry.

[There are just times when Mikleo has to be the voice of reason because Sorey's is too engrossed with whatever happens to be on his mind at the time. In the meantime he is going for all of Mikleo's weak spots with his fingers.]

Just wanted to remind you. It might've been a while for you but they saw you not too long ago.

[water_meebo]

[ Double of any of them might be a bit of headache for all of them. He's not going to think about that right now even if the idea sounds cool. He's a 100% sure that his past self will think it's some sort of crafted illusion by Symmone like Sorey is thinking. He really can't have that being something that will mess with his memories. ]

Yes, but we were shot somewhere else by something. Our Crystals are not functioning correctly. One of my companions stated that there was something wrong with them and people were dying right before her eyes and not being able to revive. Something is seriously wrong with this picture and I can't seem to put my finger on the whole ordeal.

[ As Mikleo says that his brows knit visibly together proving how serious and frustrated he was about the whole situation. He wants to find answers but the more he searches, the more questions come up. He's still minorly bothered by the fact that he was spaced out during the whole Palitutu ordeal. ]

Yes, it can push you back but we don't know if we get sent back or into another world. I'm afraid that is something that can be possibly given the power that is working right now. It's an entity that's quite capable of anything at this point. Yes, to put it simply, but you know it won't be as easy as it sounds.

[ as most things are. Mikleo wishes he can solve things quickly but it's kind of tiring right now with questions left and right. ]

I've been studying the sickness but I can't seem to find out what is causing it. Sometimes, people just fall victim to it out of nowhere without warning. I know that-- Zaveid was one of the few that has fallen within the Crystal Stasis. Yes. Heroes of Light can be resurrected as long as the Crystals are active. The stasis is a catalyst to maintain that balance.

[ Not the one that's hanging around them right now obviously. He really doesn't want to try to explain that right now. ]

I haven't attempted to bake. Lailah has offered to teach me but I have not the time-- at least with the amount of things that happen in that world.

[ He hasn't poisoned anyone! Thanks! Stop being a jerk about it Sorey. He's not that careless. ]

It's fine. As long as you know. We'll have some down time back in Elysia to go over it. Just make sure you rest.

[ He's going to jump when those places get touched and he's going to keep returning the favor too hitting the same spots too. Don't test him Sorey, he's going to be really competitive with this since it's been a long time and he misses this. A lot. ]

I know. It's fine.
