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.

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. ]
no subject
[It's probably a good idea to move away from the conversation. She's still not entirely sure how she feels, and probing at those feelings might lead to some disturbing revelations about herself.]
It was supposed to be a rather prosperous society before it had to convert the majority of its resources to protect its borders from imperial invasion. There may be a great wealth of knowledge buried and forgotten within the city.
[She folds her arms with a small smile.]
Were there any places in particular you wanted to go?
no subject
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.
no subject
[That wasn't an answer she expected. She has a couple of book-loving friends, and the drive to seek more information about this world is always pressing, so she understands the library. But the pursuit of ruins? Hmmm... She holds her chin thoughtfully for a moment.]
I don't believe Esdham has anything in that particular regard, but the devastated region of Roalie is further to the south. It was destroyed by the Empire several years ago. The area is now a desert, I believe, but I haven't visited myself. That is where Cid supposedly hailed from too.
no subject
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. ]
no subject
I can go with you, if you like. I need to take care of some urgent matters first, but once I know my schedule, I may be able to set aside some time. There are monsters roaming about the area, so traveling alone wouldn't be wise.
--Ah! You should bring water as well, just in case you happen to find a Flowering Cactuar. Doing so will help you increase your experience with your jobs.
no subject
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.
no subject
[She turns to gesture vaguely at the city.]
In the meantime, I'm certain you'll have plenty of sights to explore. It's a large city, and quite safe too. Surely you'll find something to capture your interest?
no subject
[ 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.
