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.

Shh. Spencer. I just didn't want you to cry out in surprise.

[ Sheena's whisper is soft, barely audible to anyone--save for the Moogle it's directed to. Anything else to be said is stopped by Jade's sudden appearance, and the ninja loosens her grasp on Spencer.

Only to return again in a comforting gesture as she takes his paw in her hand. ]

Don't worry, Spencer. We'll find him, okay?

[ She squeezes his paw once more before ordering Corrine to stay with him and heading into the trees as well. Her movements are lithe and quick, and eerily silent as she moves under her own power as she follows Jade through the branches, her own eyes peeled for that tell-tale silver hair.

And her ears peeled for any trouble. ]

[shinrasfinest]

[As if he's realized how panicked he seems, Spencer makes a concerted effort to put on a brave face as Sheena reaches for his paw. Small beady eyes peer up her arm, to her face, and then -once he's got a better handle on the shaking- he pushes his glasses up his stubby nose with his other paw. That they hadn't fallen off, or gotten broken in some way through this whole journey so far is a small miracle in itself.

So it's the moogles, Zack and Lucrecia left behind as the small three-man party seemed to vanish into the shadows of the nighttime jungle again. At least none of them would be alone though, and it actually makes Spencer beam a little, Sephiroth's friends doing what friends will.

He really wasn't alone.

It's silent, in the area which Sephiroth still huddles against the back of a tree. Knees drawn up to his chest within the short black cloak they'd gotten him; if not for the glint of silver fallen out from in the darkness it's likely they'd not have found him this side of daybreak. That said, it means that those soldiers can't find him either...]

/tags this because why the fuck not

[neverfirstclass]

[It takes some doing, and honestly Cloud is surprised that he's the first to come across Sephiroth considering the others still have their Job powers at their disposal. He almost missed the shrouded figure as he moved through the darkness, and it wasn't his hair but the cloak itself that gave him away. The wrongways shift of the blackness that doesn't quite line up with the other shadows at a particular angle catches the young Hero's eye.

He almost calls out before remembering himself, crouching low and creeping closer before calling out with a whisper.]

Seph....Sir...are you okay?

why the fuck not, indeed >.<

[shinrasfinest]

[Top marks for observation, Cloud!

Sephiroth doesn't so much jump out of his skin but it's clear that the blond hero had been so careful with his approach that he'd missed what usually would be razor-sharp in terms of those boosted instincts that came along with the mako-infusion. He saw Cloud, around the edge of the large hood he'd still got drawn up over his head, but it's a moment later than it should have been.]

-Cloud?

[The grunt of a noise almost sounds as if it's not sure he's really acknowledged the right person. Perhaps he's imagining it; not a good sign.

There is a sharp, dark flash of red running down Sephiroth's cheek as he turns his head to look to the other hero; a near-missed head-shot where the bullet had ripped an angry gouge as he'd dodged just in time.]

[jadethenecromancer]

[There he is. Jade drops down from the trees to follow up behind Cloud and frowns as he takes in Sephiroth's condition. The cloak is hiding most of it, but not all.]

All right, easy now. [He kneels down by Sephiroth's side, glancing up at Cloud and anyone else there.] Try to block us from view, would you? We don't want the light from my magic attracting attention.

[Healing spells have lost much of their potency since they first entered the Rift. Nevertheless, he'll do his best to tend to Sephiroth's wounds while they still have a moment of respite. On the bright side, the light emitted by Curaga is much weaker as well -- that at least decreases the risk of their position being given away.]

[ninjainviolet]

[ Sheena hears Sephiroth and Cloud at about the same time Jade does, and she silently follows the man to where they're standing. ]

How bad is he? [ Sheena asks in a barely-there whisper, even as she signals to Cloud to help her do as Jade's requested. She opens her own cloak to act as a shield against prying eyes, even as she keeps her ears open for other noises.

She's been piecing together things from what she's seen and heard about Sephiroth, and while it's not exactly good, she's still going to protect her friend. ]

I didn't see or hear anything along the way here. Should we go get the others?

[shinrasfinest]

[As Jade and Sheena also come about his position Sephiroth seems to try to straighten himself up against the tree. He's flicking eyes between all tree of them and the space around them, half expecting an ambush again. It's too quiet; even if he had charged a fair distance into the jungle that strike team hadn't yet killed it's target.]

-quiet.

[He whispers sharply as Jade's cure magic is cast; a welcome cooling to that side of his face, and the various bruises he's taken on the way from pulling himself through the trees in the dark. As Sephiroth ushers silence there is a great rustling-

-only to then, long seconds later, manifest as a low gust of wind disturbing the silence of the leaves and shrubs at ground level. A breath exhaled and he then pushes up against the tree to get himself standing again]

-we need to leave. Now.

[Yes, he is still bleeding from one side of his head, but that can be dealt with better when they are clear of this place.]

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud frowns as he sees the wound. If this was the old Sephiroth then this should have been nothing. Was his body reacting that badly to returning to their world? He was feeling fatigued himself but this seemed a bit different. Shouldn't Sephiroth have his SOLDIER strength back? Was it having side effects or something?

'Maybe he's going to turn finally.'

'NO! No stop that! It's not that simple and you know it!'

He's about to comment when Sephiroth stands and calls for silence. Maybe it was just his imagination?

He doesn't argue the following point, simply nodding and sticking close to Sephiroth as he moves. Weakened as he was he still feels the need to try to protect everyone else.]
