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.

Nope!

[Lailah takes a gulp of drink. Oops, was that alcoholic? No going back now!]

For a very long time, I took my duty very seriously. That, and... It's unusual for seraphim to pair off, much less for life. Our lifespans are so long, and no children can result from our unions.

[ Yuri hasn't ever really been normal Rukia, so excuse you. He's fine the way he is. Accept him as that. ]

That-- is going to be saved for another day Shorty.

[ And they're walking again as Repede enjoys the amusement in front of him. Yuri doesn't budge too much a the the jab either. In fact, he just takes it as it is. He's happy for that at the very least until she was trying to tickle him and he gives her a raised brow instead ]

What are you trying you do Shorty?

[ He's definitely a lot more active than he appears. Mikleo can go on for days if he wasn't in a mortal form right now. He waits patiently for her to continue as he crosses his arms. He knows that the other people he asked about ruins gave him the same thoughtful look. ]

I see, so there isn't much in the area but there is something south of here? Perhaps, I can inspect it? I rather like to know what has happened in the past where I was unable to be a part of.

[ He's concerned as he replied to her. Eventually, he uncrosses his arms. ]

Seraphim sometimes materialize out of nowhere, or could also be reborn pure human souls. Nobody quite knows the conditions. From babies they grow into their prime at the rate humans do, then we stop aging once we grow into our power. We die if we run out of mana, but other than that, we cannot die of old age.

You're pretty persistent aren't you, Shorty?

[ He mused with a raised brow as her insisting that he should tell her everything. If things were that easy for Yuri, he would have done it but things weren't that easy, unfortunately. He just sighs a moment. As much as she tries to tickle him, he doesn't budge. In fact, he finds it rather amusing that she's keeping this up. ]

I'm not treating you like an invalid. In fact, it's kind of entertaining watching you squirm around like this.

[ He chuckled. ]

[ He nods his head. She has good advice and he's a fool if he doesn't take it. ]

Alright, I appreciate the assistance Rukia. Shall I wait within the area until you are done with your task?

[ Mikleo questions as he gives her a look. ]

That is fascinating. I heard that you can do that but I've never really tried. Perhaps, it will be something to attempt.

Thanks. That sounds good to me.

[ He replied keeping the smile as she offered. Rukia was indeed a very interesting character. He has to admit that much anyway. ]

I do not mind waiting. After all, your warning is important.

[ He nods his head. ]

I'm certain I will. Thank you.

I've been called worse than that you know-- hey easy there or we'll both fall!

[ Yuri replied as Rukia started getting violent with him and and hey that's rude! How dare you pull his hair! ]

Whoa-- easy it was a joke!

[ Seriously Rukia, can't take a joke. He' winces as she yanked his hair some. ]

At this rate, you'll hit the ground face first!

Mana is the energy infused in all things, whether in humans, animals, the earth, buildings, and manipulating it is what grants the use of seraphic artes - or magic. We seraphim are beings infused with mana, much like humans are made of matter. If all of our mana is expended, then we simply cease to be, much like if you take the lifeblood away from a human.

WHOA WHOA! Hey there's no need for violence Shorty!

[ Rukia can take things a bit too extremely as he made a face. ]

I'll put you down now put that monster away.

[ Honestly he could probably wrestle that thing with his job classes but he'd rather not waste the energy that should be used for something else. ]

Your world sounds interesting as well. I think it would be interesting walking around in your shoes for a bit so that I could get to understand you better.

It was a harmless joke above all else.

[ He was going to put her down anyway. It's not like he'd keep her in that position all night or something. He'd be sore in the morning and she'd be kicking him at that point. ]

...

[ He's staring at her for a moment as she bluffs at him. She doesn't get to say anything else because he ends up throwing his strong arm around her and she's now going to be in a head lock. ]

You're a pretty sneaky liar aren't you Shorty!!

[ He grinned as he continued to keep her in a lock and following that will be a lot of hair ruffles! ]
