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.

The foods were unfamiliar to Mary, but her gaze was more captured by the servants. She was familiar enough with foxes, but the eastern and western connotations of them were vastly different. This was something well beyond what she expected of them. Looking down at the tea, she was familiar with this at least and gave Kenichi and then the foxes a nod of thanks while waiting for the tea to cool for the moment.

"Aye. I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking it as much a fantasy. Then again your world seems a bit more in line with what we've been encountering than my own. I think among our number I've been one of the ones who's been most surprised by what Crystallis holds."

She listened quietly to Kenichi's explanation of their situation. The prospect of a lifespan well beyond a normal mortal's wasn't something she could grasp, nor was she sure she wanted to. She wasn't sure what she'd do with a life so long and leaving those with normal lives behind. Briefly she thought to her friends back home and her passing there, and then to the thought of doing the same to Saori. She mostly hid her own distaste at that thought.

"I'm honored to have your trust I suppose, though I must say I'm not sure what to think about being called 'spice'. But I know that she wouldn't keep me merely as a whim or plaything. And she's been able to help me through some hard adjustment of my own." She smiled and took first a tentative sip from the tea and then a longer one.

"I no longer wish to dwell on it, but I came to Crystallis at the end of my life in my home world, and after losing a child of my own. It was a hard time for me, and she has taken care of me as much as I've watched out for her." She looked up at the man and smirked, "I won't promise you that I'll continue because that was something that was never in question."

He winced when he realized what he had implied. "That was really terrible wording on my part. I hope you can forgive me. We would never belittle our partners like that. Actually, we only have two, no wait three including yourself, altogether so we're all rather close. Ami, the one who's watching the kids now, is one of them. Though I won't be responsible if she starts flirting with you too. She can be rather forward and sometimes I think she's rubbed off on Saori in the more intimate department."

He took a sip of his tea and returned the smirk back.

"You're very lucky to have each other in that case. If there's time though, I'd like to see how you pulled off James Kidd if you don't mind. Knowing Saori, she probably figured you out quickly but she would've been attracted to you regardless which gender you portray yourself as."

Mary smirked lightly at Kenichi's apology. She never thought, when they embarked on this adventure, that she might be able to put a god on the spot. And here they were and it was much the same as doing it to anyone else. She nodded as she listened and the eyebrow went up at the mention of Ami. Something else to file away for future reference.

"Was fairly simple to be honest." She fetched her bandanna from her belt and wrapped it up, tucking her hair in with well practiced efficiency. "Just played myself as a younger man, a bastard child. Nobody had any way of worth to check it, and as long as I did my part they didn't care to. And it was a fair bit easier for me to disguise myself in other ways than it was for Anne." She'd been blessed enough to only need a shirt and jacket, not the heavy leather coat and binding like Anne used during her own crossdressing jaunts. "But all this was because of how poorly the crews I sailed with would take finding a woman on board. And then it became a useful disguise for other endeavors."

In fairness, Mary probably never thought she'd get a goddess for a girlfriend either.

Mary was right to keep note of Ami. After all, Saori thought of her as the cool older sister she never had but with a mischievous streak. Also Mary had this mysterious woman to thank for some of Saori's more intimate techniques.

"Which is a damn shame, if you ask me." After all, he watched his own wife start from a woman whose life had been a traumatic conga line filled with loss to a true goddess in his eyes. In all of his life, he had never met someone as resilient as Saori Nakagawa.

"Yep...I can see how you got her attention, alright." He cracked another grin as he watched Mary. "It maybe simple but it's rather effective to an untrained eye. If you don't mind me saying, you'd look great in a modern suit. Do you still use your disguise even in Crystallis?"

Mary likely would thank Ami if she had the chance, and it would likely lead to some interesting conversations and discussions...but that's a tale for another time.

Mary had only begun to scratch the surface of Saori's tale, but she too was impressed with all she had been through and risen above. She dared not try to compete, but at the same time she was glad that her lover hadn't had to deal with all these trials in a world and era like to her own.

"Getting her attention wasn't the intent, but I have to admit she's not the first damsel who fell under James' spell. Things honestly worked themselves out and she was taking me out to dinner and introducing me to new foods before I even really noticed." She chuckled a bit and rubbed her chin, "I use it at times. It has its uses for those who don't know that Kidd and Mary are the same person. I did the same in my world as well. And no, I don't mind you saying and perhaps sometime we'll have the chance to see."

You charmer you.
