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.

[But how is she supposed to phrase it?]
Have you loved someone before? In the romantic sense. I know you said that you and Zaveid were growing close, but were there any others prior to that?

[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.

[Duty...that does sound familiar. Rukia looks down at her glass, idly brushing off some of the condensation with her thumb.]
Then how is a seraphim born? Do you never mature physically?

[But not much else. There are still things she wants to talk about, but she honestly doesn't know how to go about it. Nor is she convinced it's entirely wise to start pouring out her heart. There are some things she should just keep to herself for now, until she feels well enough to speak about them comfortably.]
How do you run out of mana? What is it?

[People can get devoured by Hollows and have their energy absorbed, but it isn't quite the same.]
I'd like to see your world someday...preferably when I'm a full-fledged shinigami. I'd like to understand the differences for myself.

I don't think I'm too complicated...
[Although she does have a difficult time opening her heart up to other people. She still hasn't found a really good way to admit how she feels about Raven's absolute absence.]
But thank you. I'm glad we had a chance to spend some time together tonight.
