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.

[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. ]
no subject
[With Yuri, just being able to smile and laugh like this (and shriek and bicker) is helping her get back to normal, and she appreciates it. ...But she doesn't appreciate the headlock.]
To hear you of all people say such a thing, tch!
[He can probably appreciate a friendly kick to the kneecap, right? No? Too bad.]
no subject
I can say whatever I want Shorty.
[ He chuckled as he tightened the grip some more. There's a silent 'oof' from him when she kicks his kneecap. ]
Ouch, that's not very nice!
no subject
[Well, she does feel a little bad. Her intention isn't to hurt him, just to punish him for embarrassing her in front of her fellow officers and their families.]
[Which probably involves hurting him, so he reaps what he sows.]
[Her elbow jabs back toward his gut. The tightening of his grip results in a vaguely strangled noise of protest from Rukia.]
no subject
[ He chuckled a little louder because having her overreact makes his day all the time. Yuri was glad to see her in better spirits if anything. He didn't want her to go through her own turmoils alone.
This will probably be a while since Yuri wasn't giving up as she elbowed him in the gut. He doesn't even flinch but hell did it hurt! ]
You're gonna have to heal my wounds if you keep this up Shorty!
no subject
[How can he keep such a tight grip on her, especially with all of her added abuse? Is this his idea of a poor man's hug? Well she has no choice but to keep clobbering him until he releases her, or at least gives her a proper embrace like he surely secretly longs to do. A stomp on the foot, a jab to the ribs...the only thing she doesn't do is bite him, but the thought has crossed her mind.]
no subject
[ He busted laughing as soon as she said that. When did Yuri care about those kinds of things in the first place? She was looking at the wrong person. He may have his own pride but it wasn't like that. Of course, he was still enjoying the fact that he's got her stuck.
Eventually, he'd let go because he probably didn't need anymore bruises honestly. ]
Ouch. You're seriously way too violent sometimes, Shorty. Cut a guy some slack!
