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.

[Rukia is looking around this place very seriously. For one, she's intent on finding the next portal. For another, she's trying to determine if they're in the Santa Village of Crystallis or somewhere else entirely new. It's hard to tell. There seem to be more squat pointy-eared people around, but for all she knows, they could be Tarutarus.]

[Her sandals crunch in the snow as she wades her way from one end of the village to the next, investigating Christmas trees, investigating wreaths, investigating elves stringing lights up all over the place.]

[Rukia's pondering eventually brings her near the Christmas Town sign. Hmmmm... She holds her chin. A different world, then? And a rather festive one at that. But where's the portal?]

[Meanwhile, the back of her head is practically begging to be pegged with a snowball, because that's what happens when short people are being much too serious in a world full of laughter and whimsy.]

[ Much like Rukia, Yuri had mulled over this when he and Repede were tossed into this plane of snow, only it wasn't a plane of snow. It was a town with people and snow covered houses, and workshops. He's so weirded out by it. He doesn't have any words to really describe how ominous this feels to him. He didn't expect to jump a portal and end up in this place of all places.

At first he did think it was Santa Village, but at a closer inspection things felt really out of place and the world seemed too happy for his own comfort level. Acrisius had floated around town to skim out any possible enemies but he came back empty handed. Yuri had not seen a single person he knew when he came here. Of course, when he whipped his head at one side, he noticed the short hair of someone he had seen not too long ago.

Oho, well she surely looked like she was curious as him. Of course, he's going to momentarily put his uneasiness aside for something more entertaining like, running straight at Rukia with a snowball and pummeling her right in the back of the head with it. With that he proceeded to make a dash for it. ]

HEADS UP SHORTY!!!

[ Was all she got before she got pummeled with a pretty big snowball! ]

[Only Yuri would think a town of happy Christmas people is ominous, that Grinch.]

[And poor Rukia doesn't see it coming in time. She starts to turn when she hears the sound of rapid snow-crunching steps, and BLAMMO. Snowball right in the face.]

MRFFHRGM!!!

[The tiny woman is literally blown off her feet with the force of the blow, landing butt first in the snowbank to make the weirdest looking awkward snow angel ever. She sits up, clumps of snow sliding down her splotchy red face as she stares in aghast outrage.]

You...you...!

[If only she could call her shikai, then she'd show him some real snow! Instead, Rukia will just have to do this the old fashioned way.]

[She pulls a skull-print glove out of her pocket and fits it onto her hand.]

[Scoops up some snow.]

[And leaps at Yuri to slam the snow right into his stupid happy face.]

[ He can't help but be wary because of everything okay? Leave him alone. At least he's trying to be helpful and observe unlike someone who isn't. He doesn't wait for her response at all until the snow connects with her and she gets a mouth full of ice cold snow.

Yuri grins briefly as he hops back giving a good amount of space between him and the now angry shorty that is going to probably return the favor ten fold. At least, he got her out of her mood whatever it may be. Generally he wanted to do it to be a jerk.

Yuri's going to gracefully move out of the way and she gets Repede instead. ]

Ooops, sorry Repede.

[ Look what you've done Rukia! You hit an innocent bystander. Look at his judging eyes. ]

Edited 2016-09-06 01:31 (UTC)

Sorry Repede?!

[It should be 'Sorry Rukia!' Or, 'How could I be such a careless dullard and plow you over with a giant snowball, let me prostrate myself humbly at your feet and beg forgiveness!' She growls under her breath with frustration, her fists shaking with anger.]

[Or wait. Is it cold? It might be both. Either way, she's trembling pretty violently. She looks from Yuri to Repede, then back.]

Repede, you hold him down. I will take care of the rest.

[She gathers up another large wad of snow. Yuri was not going to get away with this treachery!]

[ Yuri gave her a brow raise. Well yeah, his dog just got hit. He has to feel bad about it temporarily right? He should be sorry but he's not because he did that on purpose versus Repede in which was an accident instead. Yuri can't help but snicker a little bit as he brushed the snow off of Repede.

Repede looks at Rukia back to Yuri. ]

...

[ did she just tell the dog to join her in the fight? ]

W-Whoa hey, take it easy, it was a harmless joke. I even have a cloak if you're cold.

[ He sure hopes she's not freezing her butt off because he might actually feels bad-- well now he's digging around in his bag looking for the stuff he packed for bad weather. ]

Edited 2016-09-06 06:24 (UTC)

[But of course! Repede is capable of mischief just like Rukia, she's witnessed it before. Just like when he slammed into Yuri and knocked him out from under the mistletoe in that one event that never ever happened.]

[Yuri, however, is not getting off the hook that easily. Oh no. Not until he's tasted as much snow as Rukia did will her yearning for revenge at last be satisfied.]

[So when he starts rifling through his bag, Rukia dashes across the snow like a rabidly furious reindeer and leaps to tackle him right off of his feet.]

[Off a snowbank.]

[With a really steep sloping side.]

[ Yuri knows that so it was better to just say that he's sorry before he gets kicked down the slope by his dog. Repede's rather mischievous after all. Yuri would rather not think about the mistletoe accident. He would appreciate it if neither of them touch on it. That wasn't really pleasant.

Of course he was expecting her to lash out but at what degree he wasn't expecting it, even with his guard up and him seeing her come at him. The snow was too heavy for him to swiftly dodge that as she tackled him. ]

Wh-Whoa easy there Shorty---WHOAAA!!!!!!!

[ And there goes Yuri's balance with his footing and there is Yuri now falling backwards with Rukia on top of him.... all the way down the fucking slope. ]

!!!!!!!

Eeeyaaaahhhh!!!

[Sure things are fine at first, because Yuri is momentarily a human sled. But as soon as he hits that first snow bump, things change, and then they're both rolling down the hill in a wild tornado of snow and flailing limbs.]

[Idiots.]

[But all hills must come to an end, and eventually the pile of Heroes comes to a skidding stop. There's snow in Rukia's hair, and down the back of her shihakusho, and in her sleeves...it's pretty much everywhere. Yuri probably hasn't been spared either. She lifts her head and shakes it, fat clumps of white snow falling from her dark locks.]

...Pffft...

[It starts small, with her shoulders shaking. Then she starts laughing, unrestrained and joyful. This is so ridiculous. Maybe it's the infectious cheer of this place, maybe it's just the warmth of the friendship they share. Either way, she's happy. And it really shows.]

[ The two of them were cycling down pretty quickly as Yuri shifted himself enough to cushion most of the damage from Rukia. Lucky for Rukia that Yuri values her a lot more than he values himself-- as he is with most of his close friends. When they finally landed, Yuri was covered in snow from head to toe. His clothes were damp, and his hair was a mess. There were tons of white splotches in his hair and his back was probably getting frostbites but hell, she started laughing so why would he be mad?

Yuri started to laugh with her as well, since the two of them were overdue for something stupid like this no matter how he looked at it. Yuri couldn't help but feel relieved that the tension that was building up was starting to dissipate as she laughed. It made him feel a bit better with the way he approached her in regards to everything that was going on. ]

Remind me never to sneak up on you jeez. Now we both need to get washed up or we'll catch a cold.

[ He said after some more laughing. He's partially shaking his head since neither of them were dressed for the weather. ]

Agreed. Had I known we'd find a place like this, I might have opted for the garb of my Beastmaster job.

[She feels oddly light and refreshed. Maybe it's because she witnessed firsthand his instinctive response to keep her from being hurt. She might be shivering on the outside, but on the inside, she's warmed by the gesture.]

[Though it might not seem that way as she looks down at Yuri's face, studying it carefully...and smiles...and reaches into the folds of her shinigami robes to take out a black marker. As long as she's lying on top of him, it's the prime opportunity to sneak in a festive holiday moustache.]

Edited 2016-09-08 16:48 (UTC)

Oh yeah? I'd probably be wearing something different now that I think of it.

[ He replied realizing that he's got his usual garbs on. Ones that were not made for the cold obviously. Then again he's rather used to wearing these kinds of clothing in the cold generally. It's not a good idea but whatever he made it work somehow.

Poor Rukia but she probably needed the moment just to enjoy herself. Yuri doesn't blame her for wanting to be happy and enjoying the moment. Of course, he's obviously aware that she's kind of on top of him. That's kind of weirdly awkward but he'snot going to make it anymore awkward than it is until she tried to draw a mustache on him and Yuri's hand came up to grab hers before she tried.]

Even if you're in a good mood, that permanent marker is not getting on my skin Shorty.

[ As he said that, he slowly sits up. ]

But it makes you look exceedingly distinguished!

[No it doesn't, and they both know it. She sighs, forced to surrender before the war had even begun. As he sits up, she falls awkwardly back onto his knees, but she doesn't seem to think anything is even remotely weird about this. They're friends. And once he lets go of her wrist, she puts the marker away and pushes herself off of his lap.]

I'm not certain any of the villagers here are able to see or hear me as I am.

[On her feet, she brushes some of the snow off of her shihakusho, though the warmth of her body has caused some of that snow to melt and soak her clothing. She shakes some more of the snow out of her hair before she reaches out for Yuri's wrist with both her hands to assist hauling him out of the snow and onto his feet.]

Perhaps you could request a separate room for Repede at the inn?

[She needs some privacy if she's going to bathe and change into something warm.]

Only to someone with a disturbing mind like you shorty.

[ He replied with a sigh as he continued to hold her off until she gives up on the attempted mustache. He's definitely not in the mood for round two. Even if round one was because of some weird time lapse he never got the answers for. Yuri just watched her blankly as she slid slowly to his lap and then off of it just as fast. Well there's more comfort in that. Can't say the large amount of physical contact is something he's used to. The girl sure took a lot of liberties when it came to touching him. Seriously. ]

Huh? What are you talking about?

[ He stared with a blank stare when she mentioned the villagers not being able to see her. How does that work anyway? The help was well needed since he was a bit frozen up to move too well. Once he's back on his feet, he pats the snow off of him as he glanced at the inn not too far from them. ]

We'll find another room at the inn. You go do your thing Shorty. We probably have to find something suitable for this weather too.

You haven't noticed?

[That surprises her. She's pretty sure she's phased through one or two walls while he was around, but maybe he just wasn't paying close enough attention and assumed she was just being stealthy. She puts a hand to her chest, her brows knit.]

I equipped my custom shinigami job before we left for the battle. I don't have enough experience with it to wear a false body, so at the moment, I exist only as a soul.

[She'd demonstrate, but there's nothing she can walk straight through except for him, and that would be extremely uncomfortable for Yuri.]

Hmmmm...perhaps I should steal something warmer as well.

[It's either that or run off with an elf's wallet.]

[ He didn't really pay attention. He was too engrossed in messing with her to do much in general. Yuri realized what she meant after a while when she knit her brows together. That definitely was a surprising experience if he payed attention in which he did not. ]

Right. I didn't notice, seeing how physical you seem. Is it really that special?

[ People walking through walls and stuff stopped phasing him after a while. ]

Sounds like a plan. Soul or not you don't seem any different Short.

[ He added as a matter of fact. ]

I didn't claim that it was special. But it does make it difficult for people without supernatural abilities to see me. You're a Hero of Light with multiple jobs equipped to your crystal, so I imagine it isn't difficult for you. The village's inhabitants, however, can neither see me as I am nor hear my voice.

[She gives his arm a jab.]

Therefore it's up to you to do several things that I cannot.

[Rukia pauses, looking thoughtful.]

Though I suppose if you're able to secure extra blankets and pillows, I could just as easily pass the night within the closet.

[It wouldn't be the first time she's resorted to this, and it likely wouldn't be the last either.]

I suppose I forgot that not everyone here has job classes. Guess you do got a point there but in any case, it's not that odd that I'm talking to thin air right?

[ He laughed a loud at her comment. Well, he didn't really think that certain jobs would work that way but good to know for his part. Yuri was still learning all the quirks of having different job classes equipped to him and such. ]

Right, like that's anything new.

[ He chuckled some at her words. Yuri always did things for her without really being bothered by her requests. She was his friend after all. ]

I could get you some extra blankets but you're not sleeping in a closet.

[ You sleep on the bed and he'll take the floor with Repede. It's the usual for him. ]

It's probably a little odd. You should be used to that by now, though.

[She slants a sly, mischievous grin at him, and starts forward to stagger awkwardly through the snow. She's freezing, and a chance to sit in front of a hot fire for a little while sounds really good right now. She glances back over her shoulder to stare at him with a flat look.]

Oh? Don't tell me you've decided to become chivalrous now of all times.

[She waves her hand to dismiss his objection.]

I did it all the time as a shinigami. I slept in Raven's closet on more than one occasion as well. You needn't worry for my comfort, I'll be fine.

I’m pretty used to odd things in general. It’s not surprising or anything really. I’m used to people staring at me weirdly.

[ He replied laughing aloud at her words. She was being her usual self. He didn’t seem to mind it as much. He’d rather they bicker than not. It just showed how strong their friendship had become. ]

I’m always chivalrous. What are you talking about? I can be a complete gentleman if I wanted to you know?

[ He replied grinning. ]

That’s the old man, and I’m not him so you’re not sleeping in the closet. End of conversation.

A complete gentleman? I'll believe it when I see it.

[There's no bite to her words, though. Just a sparkle in her eyes and a smile on her face.]

In any case, there's no sense arguing about it. You're not allowed to decide what I deem to be comfortable if you're just going to sleep on the floor. I can find someone else's closet to sleep in if necessary.

You’ll see it I’m sure.

[ He shrugged as he continued to take steps in the snow towards their designated location. ]

If it bothers you so much, Shorty, we can share the bed. I’m sure it’ll fit us both and Repede can have the comfortable floor.

[ Yeah he said it and that was that. ]

[Maybe someone else might have stammered and blushed. How inappropriate! Or perhaps told him that wasn't funny. Or delivered a stern lecture.]

[Rukia, however, touches her chin and thinks it over.]

I suppose that would work, if it's big enough.

[She's always been a very tactile person. Yuri knows this. Almost all of her friends do too. And Yuri's one of her best friends, so what's the difference between sleeping on a comfortable bed and sleeping next to each other on the ground in sleeping bags?]

[Besides, she's a ghost. It's not as if his reputation is in any danger.]

Thank you. It will be nice to warm up soon.

[ It's a good thing that she's his friend and not some other girl. He's surely to get hit or slapped for it. In any case, Yuri won't be dwelling on it for too long. He looks at her and waits for a reply for his proposition. ]

I'm pretty sure you don't take that much space. Flynn and I were fine with a single size bed, so I'm sure you'd be fine.

[ Let's not ask questions and put that out of context okay? He's not going to talk about it. It makes more sense to come to that agreement so he doesn't have to fight her for every little thing. ]

Pretty much. Hey look, we're almost there.

That's a relief. My hair is starting to frost.

[Getting wet from the snow and then refreezing is terrible for her ends! Once the inn is within sight, a playful flash of mischief lights up her eyes. Rukia doesn't even look at Yuri...she just starts sprinting across the snow, leaping through the drifts as best she can in her haste to get inside where it's warm. She does have one slight advantage, and that's being able to slip right through the wall in her ghostly form instead of relying on the door.]

[So that's where he'll find her if she beats him there, standing as close to the fireplace as she dares with her hands stretched out toward the flames to absorb as much warmth as she can.]
