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.

Chiaki bites her lip as the conversation continues. She's still convinced it would be better in the long run to simply let Palitutu die, but if her theory about her motives is right, maybe there's another option. It's not a plan she particularly wanted to have to use, but in true Chiaki fashion, it's one she has prepared just in case.

"...If we resuscitate Palitutu, and it will be a while before she fully wakes up, I have something that might help. I think."

It's not a glowing endorsement, but she genuinely doesn't know if this is something that will work. Even still, as long as they're discussing options, it's one she feels everyone should know about.

"I have the program for the Neo World Simulation with me. I brought it back from my world, along with another AI like me. We can keep Palitutu connected to it while she's recovering, and we'll be able to monitor her progress directly. Maybe even interact with her safely inside the simulation. That is, if we can figure out how to get it working on the systems in the lab."

There's a little more to it than that, but she'll save that for later. She does shoot Jade a momentary look as she finishes, though, hoping he'll pick up on it.

... Now. Inhaling sharply, Tear's eyes fluttered open and she immediately sought Ace's hand without even pausing to think about it. Gaze still unfocused and her face paler, the melodist tentatively reached up to touch her brow as she struggled to even comprehend what she had just seen, how to put it into words they could all understand. Before there had been no question about where she stood regarding their opponent's fate, but after the vision she had willingly brought onto herself... she wasn't so sure.

Focusing her attention on the fallen Tarutaru, her expression still did not hold much sympathy, yet it couldn't be any more clear that hesitation was beginning to bloom.

"Jade." Silently cursing the faint tremor that had managed to escape her control, the look she fixed on him was nonetheless fierce. If there was anyone she could speak to, it was him, and ultimately it would come down to his decision as the only one with the capability of healing Palitutu. "She'll wake up. If we spare her now, then she will wake up and while we might find an ally in her, it could be because of a catastrophe that will center in Aqures Tosf."

Again, again she had been bestowed a vision involving the remains of a castle and dark energy. Did that mean it was unavoidable, no matter what they did? The girl shook her head to clear that thought—in this moment her focus had to be in delivering those details, however much she was struggling to piece them together as she went.

"Everyone... Everyone will be there, our enemies and allies alike united against this." Or so she had understood it, why couldn't she have seen more? "I don't know what plan she had conceived or what will happen to cause it, nor what would allow all four Black Crystals into our possession only to hand them over to known Avatars."

It was hardly all the details, only what she perceived to be important to share now. There was also another crucial message to deliver alongside it, too.

"It's only a possibility." Breaking her gaze away from her companion, she looked to the Heroes still remaining, lingering just a few seconds longer on those who were so earnestly advocating to spare their enemy. "The future isn't set, we all know that."

However, even as she said the words she couldn't stop her grip from tightening around her partner's hand, pressing past the unpleasant memories such words might rekindle.

"The future... is still ours to make. It starts here."

Because the fact of the matter was, they were running out of time to make that decision. The girl found herself longing to have been able to hear what the Tarutaru was about to say, closing her eyes as if she were tempted to try again, just to know what could have happened to unite them.

And among the frustrations and ideas and concerns, Twilight's eyes grow wide and shimmer as an idea hits her. "That's it! Oh, I'm such a stupid pony for not thinking of this sooner! We need to keep Artemicion away from her, but we need to use the Phoenix Down NOW!"

Before they can question, Twilight continues. "Listen, Palitutu's one rule was that we need to kill her. Mission Accomplished. Nothing in there says we can't kill her THEN bring her back to life. Loophole Abuse! It's so simple that I wish I had thought of this sooner!"

Jade's gaze hadn't left Tear since the moment she spoke up. It didn't even occur to him to doubt her words. Of all Heroes of Light, she was perhaps the only one he had absolute faith in.

But where did that leave them? What could make Palitutu agree to work with not only them, but with the Avatars of the Calamity? There were so many details missing he wanted to ask about and no time for Tear to elaborate. A glance at Palitutu told him she was practically gone. But with the Phoenix Down, a Life spell, and the rest of his white magic skills, maybe...

One more look back at Tear. Jade didn't have to ask why she stressed the uncertainty of the future she'd seen. The two of them knew exactly just how easily fate could be changed.

"...Very well." He gave a small nod and turned to the others. "I can't say I wholly approve, but Tear's vision changes things. This needs to be investigated and that'd be pointless with Palitutu dead."

The ones who had been calling for mercy received a sharp look. "But I want to be clear on this -- if we can't reliably contain her, or if Cid deems her too much of a threat even after we explain the situation, that'll be the end of her and we'll say no more about it. Agreed?"

He caught Chiaki's eye briefly, having not missed the pointed look she'd given him. They'd talk later.

Should Jade the spell or phoenix down on Palitutu, the characters will be able see the signature light and visual signs of a life spell being used. While nothing visible will happen besides that, if they are to check the Heroes of Light will be able confirm her life signs are stabilized. Indeed, her heartbeat and breathing will both be there.

Yet, it doesn't seem as though the Tarutaru will wake up anytime soon. With everything that’s happened, even with a life spell it might take weeks, months or maybe even years for her to wake up, if ever. Only time will tell.

"Agreed," Rukia replied with a solemn nod at Jade. It was a risk, she wasn't about to claim otherwise. But it was a risk as well to eliminate an important piece of their potential future, especially given Tear's vision.

Besides, she was still a little worried about what that woman had said about not expecting mercy if they weren't willing to show it themselves.

So be it. Once it seemed that Jade's healing was in the clear, she took a step back, gauging up Palitutu's size...then stooping to take her arms and pull her onto Rukia's back. She was such a little thing that even the vertically-challenged Rukia could probably carry her with little effort.

"Let's return home, and rest."
