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.

[ He replied with a brief laugh at her comment. He really didn't want to sound like a jerk right now but sometimes it's just how his personality is and the way he talks. He knows he can be a bit blunt and straight forward and not everyone will appreciate that gesture. ]
Not saying you will or anything. I trust you'll make the right decisions on your own. I'm not here to watch your every move right?
[ He shrugged a bit giving her the space she needed. He's not her parent. He didn't need to harass her about her feelings and her decisions. He's only there to help her if she ever goes astray. Right now he truly believes she'll be fine without him involving himself in her issues. He'll support her in a different way though. ]
Alright, Shorty, you're temporarily relieved of your duties and we're going exploring!
[ This is Yuri not taking responsibilities seriously. So, he's going start pushing her away from where she needs to go. ]
no subject
[She smirks up at him, only to find herself being herded away from the road that leads to his inn. There's a flash of wide-eyed surprise on her face as she nearly trips over her feet, before she turns on him and starts pushing right back.]
Oi, don't make decisions like that on your own! I'm due for a promotion next month, I can't be neglectful of my duties.
[Tempting as it is... She's never really taken a good look around Esdham on her own before, since she's always so busy training and boning up on military files.]
no subject
[ He's going to keep walking and ignoring her comment to the best of his abilities because avoiding the actual topic is much better than trying to answer it. He's going to herd her towards whatever direction he thinks is the best. Don't worry Rukia you won't trip and fall too badly. He'll catch you before that happens. ]
I sent them a sick letter since if you're as much of a work-a-holic like Flynn is, it's pretty damn given that you need a day off. So it isn't like you're ditching your duties. Repede did the honors of delivering the letter so you don't want his effort to go to waste now do you?
[ Without a second warning, her protest is going to be met by Yuri throwing her over his shoulder. ]
And for the record, you'll try to walk back so I'm taking more liberties.
no subject
[The startled squawk was likely a sound Yuri had never heard Rukia make before. She wasn't used to being manhandled like a kitten, nor was she expecting her feet to leave the ground. The next thing she knows she's staring down at the ends of his dark hair and the scabbard of his sword hanging from his belt. Her face couldn't be any redder.]
Y-Yuri! Put me down immediately!
[She insistently starts pushing her hands against his back in a futile effort to hoist herself off of his shoulder.]
I'm a Major! If I'm seen like this, no one will take me seriously!
[Honestly, if her drawings haven't damaged her reputation, it's unlikely that being carried off by one of her best friends will hurt it any further.]
no subject
Not happening no matter how much you're fussing, Shorty.
[ He replied with a grin as he keeps walking away from their supposed destination. ]
We're taking a break.
[ He shrugged. ]
Kick their ass if they don't. I'm pretty damn sure you're terrifying in battle.
[ He added ignoring that comment as well. That's actually quite true. Her drawings were already a bad impression for her but hey he's not the type to judge so he's going to keep moving on his merry way. If some guys don't respect her after this well he'd enjoy beating respect into them somehow. ]
no subject
[A pity she can't really turn herself around to glare at him. It isn't as if she's so busy that she's not eating or sleeping, nor is she neglecting her personal hygiene.
Not until she has to be a Ghostbuster again like last October.Rukia twists again, more than a little disgruntled.]Nor do I see why this couldn't wait until I returned to Aqures Ixen! Why are you behaving so hastily?
no subject
[ Yuri doesn't even blink when she said that. He keeps walking further and further away. Her struggles were met with a stronger and firmer grip on her tiny form. If she really wanted to fight him she would have honestly and broken away. He could kind of guess she wasn't struggling too much. ]
I don't feel like waiting, call me impatient if ya want. We're already leaving the area anyway.
[ He doesn't even bother to try to make up excuses. He doesn't answer her either. ]
no subject
[She does put up a fight for a little longer, but when it becomes obvious that he isn't going to relent, it makes her wonder why he's being so insistent. And the answer seems shockingly clear. Rukia is silent for a long, long moment, before she speaks.]
Oi.
[She shifts a little from where she hangs over his shoulder.]
You're still worried about that vision coming true...aren't you.
[Does he really believe she's hurting that much...?]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[She's learned her lesson; it was too painful to relive a second time, and it's caused her to reevaluate her trust in Yuri and the rest of her friends. But if that's not the entire reason...]
[Rukia blinks, frowning, and tries to at least wrestled herself upright so she can look at his face.]
What's the rest of the reason then?
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[She's not sure how carrying her off over his shoulder is going to change all of that. But if he's holding anything back, then this may be more personal than she realizes. He got a cold the last time Raven went into stasis. Maybe he's just missing his friend again and feeling a little lonely. If so, it might explain why he followed her here.]
[Could it be that it's not to be there for her when she needs him, but because he needs her instead...?]
[Rukia is quiet as he carries her for another block. Then she gently tugs a lock of his dark hair.]
Oi. You can put me down now. I won't run off.
[She smirks a little.]
But you can hold my hand if you're really worried~
no subject
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. ]
no subject
Then what's it about? Please explain it to me.
[She props up her elbow on his back, resting her chin on her hand as she glowers at the city passing by. This remains as humiliating and embarrassing as ever.]
[But at least she's resigned to it...]
[JUST KIDDING NO SHE ISN'T because she's totally wriggling her fingers over his ribs. Tickle tickle, Yuri-chan.]
no subject
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?
no subject
[Kind of a hypocritical thing to say. She hasn't exactly been forthcoming with her own feelings, but that's more due to the fact that she's said what she felt the last time Raven went into stasis. And if he expects her to stop trying to tickle him, he's mistaken.]
I'm trying to get you to set me down and stop treating me as an invalid.
[Is this just a poor man's excuse to get a hug? What is wrong with his brain?]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[Red-faced, indignant, and woefully embarrassed, Rukia's kicking and twisting intensifies significantly. Enough! She's done everything she could think of to persuade him otherwise. Now she has no choice.]
[She grabs a fistful of his beautiful luxurious silky hair and yanks on it.]
You will place me back on the ground this instant!
no subject
[ 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!
no subject
[She barks at him imperiously, glowering back over her shoulder. And he still doesn't put her down? He leaves her with no other choice.]
O mask of howling flames that claws the earth...
[Thaaaaaat sure sounds like she's about to cast a fire spell, or summon an Eidolon.]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[At last her humiliation is at an end. She'll wait patiently enough for him to place her back on the ground before smoothing out her uniform and tucking her hair back into place.]
Better. Thank you.
[Now that she looks crisp and professional once more, she lifts her chin to reclaim her pride, and make a solemn declaration.]
A shame I don't have the Summoner job activated, isn't it?
[And there's that mischievous little grin before she darts away. Oh ho ho, he fell for her bluff!]
no subject
[ 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! ]
no subject
[She flails and kicks, but she's also laughing as she struggles to duck away from his hand. ...And tries to get her black marker up toward his face so she can give him a crappy moustache, but as rowdy as they are, he's more likely just to get scribbles.]
I do what is necessary!
[But that's definitely one way for the two of them to fight off their sorrow and just enjoy each other's company.]
no subject
Man, you're too much of a fighter sometimes!
[ He said between laughs as he continued to head lock her out of pure amusement. It definitely helped get rid of a lot of feelings. ]
