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.

"And you brought guests." Victor's tone was less playful now. He didn't recognize either of these women. "Well, come on in, I guess." He stepped aside so Reno and his companions could enter.

The first thing the guests would notice was the mural of Florence in the living room. If they knew anything about Leonardo da Vinci's style, they would know the mural was his doing. The whole farmhouse had a charming rustic feel to it, with the occasional modern convenience like a sound system or the kitchen with all the needed appliances.

"Have a seat." Victor gestured to the various couches and chairs available. The least he could do was be a good host.

(leaving names open in case anyone else pops in)

"Smartass. I come here ta' indulge yer life-after-death fetish, an' this is the thanks I get..."

The teasing ended quickly and Reno's smirk became apologetic. "Sorry. This actually isn't entirely a social call." He introduced his group.

"And this is Dr. Victor Fran -- Whale," he corrected quickly, realizing that if Victor had changed his name then it was likely something of significance. He couldn't know that others might recognize it, since no one seemed to be from Victor's world. "He's actually one a' the only doctors I like."

Anyone who'd visited Reno in the hospital or while sick, either here or on Crystallis, knew he hated that place and was suspicious of all of them. Reno stepped inside, almost feeling guilty for taking advantage of Victor's hospitality, but he still wasn't too keen on splitting the group more than he had to. Atia wasn't exactly the safest place for a "utopia," and he didn't want anything to jeopardize their health? sanity? mission. Of course the mural caught his eye -- it was gorgeous, and Leo immediately came to mind. Too bad now wasn't the time for small talk.

"So... long story short," he began, opting to remain standing. "I ended up on another world, after here. And most recently, we kinda got trapped in a pocket universe, I guess? Between all the worlds, what connects 'em all, an' we found a portal and wound up here -- so, goal one, we gotta figure out how to open a portal back. And for weird, also long, reasons, I really need t' know if you still have any of the stuff I left with you a year -- er, two months -- ago."

"Frankenstein," Victor offered. "My name is Victor Frankenstein. But you can call me Doctor Whale if that makes you more comfortable." He honestly didn't care either way. Everyone in Storybrooke and in Atia knew who he was already.

He understood jumping between different worlds and the weirdness of time anomalies to follow what Reno was saying. He doubted the portal in question was anything like the ones used for Storybrooke, though.

"Hm, I'll check. In the meantime, make yourselves at home." There was enough food and drink for his guests, and if the goddess decided to give them a proper Atian welcome, there were plenty of rooms between the two floors. Hell, they could go outside and use the hot tub for all he cared. As long as they kept out of Leo's studio, they could explore the farmhouse as they wanted.

Willing to bet it was her world's Leonardo, am I right? :D

While Mary wasn't precisely a scholar as far as the Renaissance master goes, it did strike her as familiar. Then again, she was a bit more familiar with the technical contributions he made in her world than his artistic ones. Like the fact that she didn't have to have a finger removed to equip her hidden blade. But consider the mural of a Grand Master's hometown noted.

The doctor's name though was something from after her time, and familiar as she was with the use of aliases she lets it slide. If it's someone Reno trusted she had no need to prod. Especially in a world not her own. "Thank you. Sorry for the intrusion." She occupied herself with looking around the room, keeping ready just in case things went sour, but not necessarily mistrusting their host.

Nope! Da Vinci's Demons

[shinra_dog]

"Thank you." Victor would know Reno was sincere -- it came out so infrequently.

Reminded by the painting, Reno reached out for Frankenstein's shoulder before he'd fully left. "Oh, wait -- is Leo here? I actually wanted to ask him something, too..."

[needsteaplz]

"Thank you and please pardon our intrusion." The doctor's name did ring a bell but she better than to pry. She gazed up at the mural as well. No matter which universe's Leonardo drew this, she had to admire the works he had done.

Saori took a seat close to a window. They had done a fair share of walking after all and little rest wouldn't hurt.

Victor had a place where he kept all the mementos from lovers who left the island. He found Reno's and returned. It was odd having such polite guests around. Not that his usual guests weren't, but they were a lot less formal. These weren't put off-guard by mentions of da Vinci or Frankenstein. He found that interesting.

"All I have are the gloves I gave you for Christmas," Victor said, handing Reno the box. "I'm alone for a change. You should try his tattoo parlor. Maybe get your friends a little something to remember Atia by." After all, who wouldn't want a tattoo done by Leonardo da Vinci?

[not_most_days]

Mary's heard turned sharply at the mention of 'Leo' by Reno. For a moment she couldn't help but feel the fueling of wonder in her heart. Was this truly a place that Leonardo da Vinci actually spent time in? Was it even the same one? Victor would at least have that familiar look on Mary's face now to look forward to as he returned, even if she didn't recognize his own.

Her surprise was broken as he spoke up again, her brow furrowing to focus. However her gaze continued to cut back and forth between Victor and Reno at the implications flying through the air. "I'm...not sure if this is a place we'd like to keep a momento from. The things that Reno has told us about this place are...troubling to say the least."

[shinra_dog]

It was actually touching that Victor had kept them. They were nice gloves. Sturdy, leather, sleek and classy-looking while still excellent to use while punching someone in the face. They were a very thoughtful gift.

Reno smiled ruefully. "Yeah... I dunno how many would really bother with a 'da Vinci original' ..." Because what were the chances even more other worlds knew him? "And I doubt anyone wants to remember Atia."

Because sex collars.

He shook his head. "I was hopin' he'd let me have one of his sketches... of me." Nude. "But it's not a big deal. I'll try to swing by the parlor but he'd probably just send me back here for it."

With a grin and a short laugh, he shook his head again at that imagery. No, he didn't really want to make multiple trips. He wasn't sure how much time they had here, anyway -- if the old portal would still be there, or if they had to find a new one. Where that new one might be, or what they might have to do to open it... Extra trips weren't really in the schedule, unfortunately. As much as Reno might actually enjoy staying -- just a little longer. No more than a day. He hated Atia, but he missed friends like Victor.

"It was nice t' see you again, man."
