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.

[Rukia frowns at him, then down over the side of the ship.]
But I can understand your sentiments. There are many things I feel ill-equipped to handle, as a shinigami must not interfere with the affairs of the living.
[Such as deciding whether Palitutu was meant to live or die.]
If you're truly feeling restless, you may accompany me on my future travels. Ordinarily I make the trips alone, but it would be safer and wiser to have at least one other companion present.
no subject
Thank you, Rukia. I appreciate your friendship.
no subject
I enjoy yours too. Now let's see...
[She digs into her vest to pull out a small book, leafing through it. Small doodles of rabbits and bears are briefly glimpsed in the pages before she finds her itinerary for the month.]
First I need to make my report concerning Palitutu. After that I need to file a request to borrow funds, so that I can secure a sapphire crystal. O'aka is selling one in his shop. If this request is approved, I will need to travel to Aerilon. Are you comfortable traveling by boat?
no subject
[
Because he was never on the haunted ship.]Should we split up the task? While you secure the funds, I can make sure O'aka doesn't sell the gem or I can reserve a ship.
no subject
[A smile breaks out across her face quickly, however, as her dark eyes brighten.]
Those are excellent suggestions. Then please, if you don't mind. I think keeping an eye on the shop would be best. If I'm unable to take out a loan, I'll have to employ other methods.
no subject
I'll be certain to do that, then.
[he returns her smile]
I'll see you in a bit, then. I wish you all the best in getting your objective accomplished.
no subject
[Rukia smiles, definitely pleased with his decisive actions. She may have to ask for his help in the future. She reaches up to clap his shoulder before she hurries down the ship's gangplank. The sooner she makes her request, the better, since she's sure there will be a lot of paperwork involved to approve and release the necessary funds.]
