To Esdham!

WHO: Rukia Kuchiki, OPEN
WHAT: Rukia makes a trip to Esdham for multiple purposes, the least of which is to deliver a beautifully illustrated report of the past month's summary. You might find it useful if you got lost in the last event. You might not. The post is for the report itself, but feel free to tag in for CR on the way there, on the way back, or while in Esdham itself.
WHEN: September 5th - 7th
WHERE: Esdham


As you were already made aware, the Tarutaru Palitutu, formerly known as Jessie, sent an ultimatum to the Heroes of Light requesting a meeting on the Calm Plains. If they did not appear, she threatened she would destroy the city of Aqures Ixen. We went to meet her as requested, and as promised she appeared with the Moogle Artemicion and the Heran known as Deweg. Upon arrival she asked if the Heroes of Light had discovered an alternative to defeating the Calamity that had not been previously attempted by former generations of Heroes. She claimed that our attempt to communicate with the Calamity through the Avatars had merit. She claimed that we needed these three things:

1. To improve and perfect the Soul Divider, located in the First Crystal.
2. To control the fragment of the Calamity that lingers within all Heroes summoned to this world.
3. The power to face Garland.

To test us, she attacked with the Ultima Weapon.



We were called upon to use our strongest attacks and abilities. Though some perished, it was only temporarily, and no casualties were suffered. As for Deweg's status, we cannot confirm it at this time.

Directly after the defeat of the Ultima Weapon, Palitutu banished us to the Rift, where we were able to gain access to our home worlds. It took the entirety of the month, and though many did find their way to their home worlds, we were not able to locate Palitutu until the very end of August. Accompanied by Artemicion, she informed us that she would consider us too weak to do what needed to be done unless we managed to kill her.

The ensuing battle was short, and we did come very close to ending her life. Though it was heavily considered to let her die, and heatedly debated, in the end we decided it was best to keep her alive for the time being so long as we had a way to prevent her from simply teleporting away to resume her previous crimes.



Artemicion is, as far as I am aware, currently incarcerated while Palitutu remains in critical condition at the hospital. Her fate is to be decided at a later time, presumably by the current regent Cid, but possibly by the Heroes should he defer the decision to us. In the aftermath of the battle, a gold crystal was given to us by Palitutu, which is being used to slow the progress of the Calamity and buy us more time to accomplish our objectives.

We apologize for the length of our absence and, after sufficient rest, we are ready to resume our duties to halting the crystallization of this world and saving those worlds from which we hail.

[Lailah shakes her head and holds her hands up.]

Oh, no, you weren't insensitive at all! I've just been told that I tend to carry things without speaking my mind, so I thought I'd take a gamble and share that with you.

[She looks at the shops, and back to Rukia as her folds her hands in front of her once more.]

We're on a trip, so let's enjoy ourselves! There's always more time to talk when he get back to Aqures Ixen, after all.

[She smiles]

I'll take you up on your offer though after our throats are raw from singing, though!

[ It's not that Mikleo wants to pry or anything. He was being considerate of her feelings.However it's not like he's going to ignore the feelings that were coming off of her. Being someone that was perceptive, Mikleo had a hard time brushing it off completely. He feels content knowing that Rukia was honest with him. He offers her a sincere look fro the reply. ]

That must be difficult for you to deal with.

[ Seeing that neither Sorey or Rose were awake right now either. Mostly, he could understand it in regards to someone that is precious to her. Sorey was someone who was very precious to Mikleo in a different way, but the feelings were mostly similar. ]

I do not think it is heartless for you to feel that way. I'm certain that the person would not wish to see you saddened. It is difficult but for all of us who are here-- it's best if we move forward. At least, then we're more guaranteed that we'll be able to save those close to us.

[ He added softly. ]

It's not news, Shorty.

[ He replied with a brief laugh from him as he continued to traverse a good distance. Once they were a good distance away from the area and he didn't see anyone but as he was about to drop her back to the ground he turns his head back at her comment. ]

That's not the entire reason since the vision is one of many possibilities. Can't say I'm completely trusting it not to come true given what we just saw with Palitutu.

[ Admittedly, he wasn't going to lie to her about the thought of it possibly happening. ]

Aw, boo.

[But she smiles. Lailah was usually the one having to play Party Mom, so it was refreshing that someone else wanted to do the same for her.]

Not just you, Shorty. It’s not just about what happened to you, but everything and everyone around us.

[ Even with the visions as a warning Yuri knows that the people here are subjected to follow the same fate if they aren’t careful. It’s not just about Rukia but Flynn and others that he’s held really close to his heart. Yuri didn’t want to have to watch his friends die, or become something they despised. ]

That’s all you’re getting.

[ It’s a natural thing to feel, despite her not being so human, she was quite human on Mikleo’s terms. It’s the same way with him. He’s quite the type to be very human despite his seraph origin. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. He’d honestly would feel something similar if he were in her shoes experiencing her loss. He can’t judge her to reprimand her for having feelings obviously. ]

Indeed. Perhaps it is best if we leave the conversation at that. I appreciate you trusting me enough with sensitive information.

[ He offered her a small smile before giving her a look. ]

I’m trying to learn more about everything in this world. It’s at a constant state of destruction and perhaps being Esdham would assist me in finding more answers that I cannot in Aqures Ixen.

[ Mikleo’s need for knowledge is definitely obvious. ]

Oh, I don't think I'm anything special.

[She usually sings a silly song to make sure nobody asks her any more questions.]

I just sang the words as they appeared on the sheet! Easy peasy!

And besides, it's for fun!

[She takes a sip of her girly, fruity drink]

You did quite well! You kept the rhythm very steady.

[ Nothing is going to really change because he’s carrying her on his shoulders. He knows that much. He’s still going to do it whether she appreciates it or not. In this case she obviously doesn’t but she’s dealing with it. At least, she’s not struggling anymore. Lonely isn’t the correct word but he really doesn’t care what she assumes. He’s not going to correct her. It’s too much effort on his end.

He keeps walking a few more steps before his hair gets yanked and he gives her a side look. ]


This isn’t about you running off or anything.

[ It was easier just lugging her around instead of dragging her really. ]

I’m not worried. What are you a kid?

[ He laughed casually at her comment. ]

[ It's something that will probably take time to process. He can understand that to some aspect. He looks off for a moment before speaking again. ]

It seems that way. I am eager to learn what it has to offer and what historical factors there are that can assist us in our journeys in the future.

[ As he said that, his eyes sparkle at the thought of historical things that he could gain knowledge on. ]

I'm not very familiar with it but if there are ruins or perhaps a library with books, I'd like to go there.

Well, then it's time to get some more practice!

Why not try singing the song I sang? You already heard it, and here are the lyrics.

Hmm...

[Lailah isn't used to this. Mostly because while people did ask her about her past, her oath kept her from talking about it. But her oath meant nothing here.]

Well, then. Ask away!
