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.

[forcegalactic]

Our safest bet is to head on over to those headquarters and figure out where to go from there. Ain't no sense in plannin' our next move out on these streets.

[He squints at the desolate landscape, searching for a hint as to where a decent standing building could be located.]

...Think you can lead us there?

movin' right along

[line_piece]

[Yashiro seems placated by Chiaki's correction and the reception it got, and now he's all smiles again.]

Right! I'm awesome!

[He's stopped short by Barkeep's question, though, scratching his head a bit.]

Uh... sure. It's, um...

[He glances left, then right.]

To tell you the truth, I got kinda turned around when those guys jumped me. But don't worry!

[Digging into the inside pocket of his suit jacket, he pulls out a small crystal ball.]

I got my emergency crystal right here! We'll just ask it where to go! One in three shot, yeah?

[charming_jerk]

[Johnny doesn't exactly like this idea, but what choice do they have? He gets his lance ready in case they're attacked again on their way.]

Well, I mean, it's better than have zero clue, I guess. Ask away, then tell us where to go. Stay between us.

[unyieldingspirit]

[that's a little worrying. But still, she has faith.]

Just say the word.

[forcegalactic]

[When he hears "crystal", the image of his own blue one comes to mind. The sphere that he was used to seeing in pictures feels out of place after a year in Crystallis.]

So, like, does it turn into a compass or show us a map?

[line_piece]

Nope!

[Ever more encouraging. Instead, he just stares into it, making dramatic 'ommmmmmmmmmmmm' sounds for a few moments and waving his other hand over it.]

Okay! This way!

[And he points in... some direction or another.]

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud does his best. He really does. But the sour deadpan sneaks through into his expression. Still, he manages to keep from saying anything about the performance.]

Right. I'll take the lead. Johnny, K'pandolu. Can you make sure nobody sneaks up on us?

[charming_jerk]

Yeah, sounds good. C'mon, Mister Fortune Teller. Stay between us and just keep pointin' where to go.

[Johnny ushers Yasuhiro to the middle of the Heroes who can keep him safe.]

[melnics]

Oooooh. ( meredy seems more interested in leaning in close to get a better look at that crystal ball too, though any mysteries it yields seems lost on her.

with a worried glance back at the laptop, she continues on in what is surely the right direction, thanks to their psychic friend. )

Will... the future foundation be able to help us also, do you think?

[forcegalactic]

[The Barkeep takes up the rear. He has no quick reflexes, but magic should be a good enough deterrent against back attacks.]

Here's to hopin' your crystal ball is right.

[unyieldingspirit]

[K'pandolu nods, and moves to Yasuhiro's other side.]

It'll be fine. Just a bit longer otherwise.

[line_piece]

[The crystal doesn't seem to be anything special. At the very least, it's not actually showing visions of anything. But Yasuhiro seems pretty convinced, so maybe he knows best. Hopefully.]

Yeah, just count on me!

[It would be reassuring if not for the loud shriek he lets out as soon as they round the next corner and sees the Monokuma robots patrolling around. They're either going to have to sneak by or fight these things, and that's going to be hard if they can't keep this guy quiet.]

[forcegalactic]

[Mordecai isn't surprised. Killer robots are a staple of apocalyptic revolts, only...he never saw one that looked like bears.]

Someone's got a unique brand of humor. [He pulls on Yasuhiro's clothes, urging him to step back around the corner and shut up.]

[charming_jerk]

[Johnny yell-whispers at Yasuhiro for that.]

Damn, dude! Do you want us to get caught?

[He looks to the the Heroes.] If we start fightin' those, we'll be at it all day. We need to stick to the back allies and keep quiet.

[melnics]

( the shriek is enough to cause meredy to jump back with a— ) Baiba! ( colliding into the nearest hero as she looks on at the robots. these ones weren't at all cute like chiaki's usamitron. but that... seemed to give her an idea. )

Hmm... ( focusing on the wrist-computer that came along with her advanced job, a transparent visor clicked into her line of sight as she got to work, not saying a word, but her tongue sticking slightly out from closed lips as she made an attempt to see if she could Hack into their programming somehow... )

[neverfirstclass]

[The shriek alone makes Cloud wince hard, and then he sees the robots looming beyond. If they were back on Crystallis he'd be all for fighting their way through, but their new mortality has him on edge, not to mention worry of what might happen if Chiaki's computer is broken.

Cloud meets Johnny's eyes and gives him a nod before responding with a hushed voice.]

We don't know how many of them there are. Back allies are good, or what about sewers?

[He waves for everyone to keep moving, keeping his shield up just in case. No need to stop while they figure this out.]

[line_piece]

[It's a good thing Meredy is thinking quickly, because that yell attracted the attention of a few of the robots. Three of them turn to face the party, their arms turning into gatling guns and spinning up ominously. About halfway through, though, one of them stops advancing, its movements becoming jerky. And just as the ones in front of it are about to fire, its own weapons tear through the back of them and they fall to the ground, riddled with holes and sparking.]

Good idea, Meredy! If we can keep up like this and not attract too much attention at once, we should be able to hide behind this Monokuma robot and get to headquarters that way.

[forcegalactic]

[Okay, so stealth is not this guy's strong suit.]

Looks like we're gonna hafta be ready to fight these guys. [He turns to Chiaki.] How's Cloud's idea? Sewers, or are the streets safer?

[melnics]

Waiiru! ( she beams at the praise from chiaki, but doesn't let it deter her from her task. she's typing away, trying to gain better control of the one still standing. ) If Meredy can just... get ahold of... this one, we can use it for cover!

( or maybe even as transport to drive right up to the front door! )

[unyieldingspirit]

[K'pandolu makes an approving sound, glancing towards Meredy to try and see what she's typing before turning to keep her watch on the area.]

It's a good idea… it might be fairly convenient, too.

Why bears?

[line_piece]

[With a bit of work, Meredy will be able to gain full control over the robot that's left.]

I don't know. The sewers might be safer, but I don't have a map of the city, so I couldn't tell you when we're in the right place. And I don't know how accurate Yasuhiro's crystal is.

Thirty percent, I told you!

[That's a risk that's up to them.]

[charming_jerk]

Not even half. I don't trust it. Anywhere we can find a map in this hellhole, then? Or would it even apply with all the shit goin' on around here?

[All this destruction and debris might block them from getting where they need to be anyway. Not that this place would be marked, he figured.]

[unyieldingspirit]

The machines must have some kind of guidance system, right? Can we get to that?

[forcegalactic]

Meredy, how's that hackin' goin'?

[She has the best idea here, so he's deferring to her. Using a bear as cover is a fantastic idea.]

I doubt it's gonna have the coordinates for headquarters, but in either case, we're gonna wreck it just in case it won't tell the other robots.

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud isn't thrilled with them sitting here and waiting for directions, but he keeps quiet. He watches Meredy in anticipation, hoping that she gets what she's looking for.

He's impatient, but he's not about to cause a problem by rushing her. Still he keeps ready, in case another robot notices them.]
