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.

Sheena didn't treat Lydia like a child for one simple fact: she didn't see her as one. Unfortunately, she hadn't had time to inform her about Zelos and his powers of observation. Because really? Knowing the chest size of every woman in the world? That takes some serious observational skills.

So, seeing a lack of shadow beneath her won't be hard for him to miss--even if she is being diplomatic.

Turning to Albel, she nods. "Yeah, he's a friend, but I trust him." She'll explain about that "uh oh" later. Right now, she'll follow the Chosen and lead the others, leaving the introductions until they get to the room. Taking a deep breath, she begins.

"Okay, Zelos, like she said, this is a secret and can't go past this room--you can't even mention it to me the next time you see me."

Hard to explain really doesn't cover it.

[luxuriant]

Of course he notices it all. The lack of shadow, the quiet words from this guy he doesn't recognize, and the strange way Sheena is acting, too. It all seems off, especially when he hadn't spoken to her too long ago. She was supposed to be somewhere else.

So, something's off. He has half the mind to ask if she's really Sheena, but nothing about her behavior seems particularly wrong, so there's no point in calling her out.

Here in the room, he makes sure the door is closed and turns to face the group with his hands on his hips, glancing between all of them. "Sure, sure!" Despite all of the mood, Zelos sure sounds nonchalant about keeping this secret. He literally waves it off, eyes landing on Lydia.

"So is this cutie pie here right, then? You guys have been off on some top secret journey?" He looks back to Sheena. "Without me? What's with the cold shoulder, hmm? You mind explaining what's going on already?"

[ninjainviolet]

The beauty is, she is someplace else, and there at the same time. So, no chance of her running into herself. She hopes. She still has to find out what the date is.

And if he had had any doubts about her really being her, hopefully they were dashed by her reaction to his description of Lydia. Facepalming, she sighs. "Idiot," she mutters. "Her name is Lydia, and this is Albel. They're my friends." She tries to keep her voice neutral, but there's a certain warmth when she mentions Albel's name. He is her boyfriend, after all. Hoping to keep Zelos from noticing and avoid any comments or arguments, she plows on ahead.

"They're not from this world, Zelos. I met them on a world known as Crystallis--where I've been for over a year now. The journey we're on involves stopping someone from destroying not only that world, but others as well." So, yeah, more of that world-saving stuff going on. And since Sheena is Sheena--who is a horrible liar--especially with Zelos around--it's the frightening truth.

[luxuriant]

"Hold up, Sheena."

Ignoring all of the small things, and these two strangers, he waves his hand in the air. "A year? You're kidding, right? You've been here the whole time." He can't deny that she sounds like she's telling the truth, but he'd like this part to be explained, too! What's she doing here when she should be somewhere else, and what's she doing saying she hasn't been here all along?

[ninjainviolet]

Sheena sighed mentally. Yeah, she knew it wasn't going to be that easy, but still... Hope springs eternal.

Shaking her head, she gave him a solemn look. "No. I'm not kidding. You know how we were able to go from Tethe'alla and Sylvarant when they were apart? Well... This is something similar--only I had nothing to do with it. I was just taken. As for this..." And she gestured to encompass the whole area and them. "There's some time manipulation going on."

Could we say "understatement"?

[wickedone]

Albel nodded curtly. "It is true. She has been with me -- us, on Crystallis -- for a year. We don't know how it works exactly..." He chewed his lip, not sure what else to say. Being here felt strange. Even when he left his planet, there was a better explanation -- a strange metal beast that could fly him there. Then there were the 4D creators, gods.

But these portals... soulless, coincidental existence with no significance, no meaning. They just were. That ambiguity was uncomfortable.

"Since we've obviously traveled to the past here, at least for us... we can't be discovered. The two of them meeting could destroy your world."
