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.

[Whether Saori made a noise or not didn't matter much to Mary. She was in danger in this moment and that's all there was worth worrying about. If anything the whisper of pain she hears doubles her resolve as she works to free her patron goddess. She keeps on striking, not willing to let up until it finally falls away.

She watches it as the smoke tugs it down, watching it fade as it falls and making sure it doesn't surge back at them once more. As Sephiroth lifts Saori, Mary helps from below until they're all back on more level and sturdy ground.]

I have to say...if it wasn't for Crystallis I'd have been ill prepared for that.

[She looks at Saori with happy but worried eyes. She lingers at the sight of the bruises and then takes the initiative to pick her up in her arms.]

Sephiroth, get that case. We can relax once we're back in the daylight.

[She leads the way, closing her eyes just before they reach the doors so that she's not blinded as she steps back out of the mine. Once they're a few strides clear, the Pirate finally addresses Saori directly.]

Are you alright? Should we take you back? Sephiroth and I can handle the rest of this.

[After all this time she doesn't want to have to NOW apologize to her family for letting her die.]

[acceptedoblivion]

[That he managed to hit it's weak spot was a surprise, considering his luck stats and how the creature was being slowly dragged down by the smoke. He blinked once, heaving a sigh of relief. Not that he was relaxed, mind...]

Honestly, I'd be surprised if it did go smoothly...

[He sheathes his blade, casting Cure on Saori without waiting for her to respond to Mary's question.]

[needsteaplz]

Thank you, Ira.

[Saori gave him a smile before diverting her attention to Mary's concerns.]

Yeah I should be fine in a minute or two and I do mean that literally. I'm grateful that it didn't snap my legs right there.

[Broken bones was just one of the many occupational hazards of being a mononoke slayer like herself. Thankfully having an accelerated healing factor helped in fast recovery.]

I can still carry the case as soon as my legs heal up. In the meantime, we can focus on getting that Roc's egg. I swear I saw a nest somewhere around here...

[She scanned the mountainside behind them. Rocks, more rocks, cliffs, a stray goat...ah there it was. The nest was about the size of a large dining table and perched up on a cliff.

Most of the time the size of a Roc and its ferocity would deter anyone from getting close to it, let alone its nest. Chances were the nest builder was didn't have the foresight to construct it more towards the peak instead of just barely 100 feet from the foot of the mountain. The path to the nest wouldn't be difficult to an expert climber, but speed and luck would be necessary to snatch the egg. At least luck was on their side for now as the owners of the nest were out.]

The egg may have a strong shell, but it's better to put it in the case for the trip down. Don't worry, Ami made sure anyone can carry it with ease. In fact, it'll feel like it's empty inside but that doesn't mean you can bang it around without a care.

[Easy enough to retrieve the case then, slipping it over his off-shoulder, even given Saori's warning. Sephiroth would have to make an effort to remember to put it down though, should the need arise, it was indeed deceptively light.

He also scans up the mountainside following her gaze and eventually resting on the nest that seemed -from down here a least- a lot longer of a way up than it probably was. A moments pause later and Sephiroth looks around to Ira and Mary one at a time.]

I guess someone will have to lead the way up, since we'll have to take the case up.

[He keeps his voice at a low octave; they've no idea how long the nest will remain unoccupied, after all.]

[not_most_days]

[Mary feels the back of her teeth vibrate at the idea of Saori breaking her leg. It's not a mental image she likes and it's far to easy to be sympathetic to the potential pain. The casual tinge to the statement doesn't help but Mary closes her eyes and takes a breath as she reminds herself that they're once again in a world with different rules than she's used to.

But Saori still gets a look as their second objective gets brought up. A warning not to push herself and to not be reckless.]

I guess that's me then.

[She nods to Sephiroth as he takes the case and then looks up the mountainside. She shifts her senses to use her Eagle Vision and then takes a running start at the rock wall. She begins to climb with ease, the combination of her own training and the skills offered by the Assassin and Ninja jobs making this a simple act. The sheer focused busywork of the climb takes her mind off of Saori's injury, the familiar act helping to calm her as she goes.

As she takes the more direct route she points out places for the others to go and step to help them on their way.]
