melodiesoflife | Taking responsibility [Semi-Open]

Characters: Vincent, Sephiroth, others [Mostly Open; Refer to the top-level Prompts]
Where: Hospital, Aquares Ixen
When: 9th-14th September
Summary: Some aftermath of the fallout from Sephiroth grieving over Terra being in Crystal Stasis. Vincent helped disable Seph, and is now keeping an eye on him. Some people might want to have words with him about how he did so. In between guarding a Weapon for a few shifts...
Warning: Language maybe? Potential angst?

Sept 11th-13th at various times.
Vincent is one of those who is guarding the Ultima WEAPON'S wreckage. These are the only times he won't be found at the Hospital, keeping a guard over Sephiroth. If you want to interact with him, see here.

Sept. 9th-12th

Vincent will stay out of the way of the healers, but otherwise stay in the hospital and keep an eye on Sephiroth as he sleeps off both the post-Job exhaustion and the sleep status. Making sure the silver-haired SOLDIER is healing well, and not being bothered unduly. Occasionally Vincent will head to the Crystal Stasis wing, visiting those among his friends who are there. Ophelia can also be found bringing him a bag with a change of clothes, and a book or two.

He's unlikely to talk in the same room Sephiroth is resting in, but feel free to come check on the SOLDIER, or yell at Vincent, or check on Vincent.

Sept 13th--Closed to Sephiroth
Vincent has spent the past few days keeping watch over and not quite playing guard for Sephiroth, mostly so that when the other does wake--he can apologize. Also to keep others from overwhelming the silver-haired soldier right away. Sadly, Vincent understands heartbreak; he also knows Seph well enough to have some idea of how, hopefully, to help the other start healing.

September 13th, OPEN

Since part of Vincent's assumed role has been gatekeeper for a very private and recovering SOLDIER, he'll be keeping an eye out to ensure the other doesn't get tired, when others DO come to visit him. This is the prompt to use for visiting Sephiroth--and if you want to do so privately, Vincent can wait outside the door.

[Things had been rather tight with security lately, Ellana had noted this before when she arrived for her assignment to watch over the comatose turncoat. Yet as she left for the day, she couldn't help but noticea a very familiar moogle fluttering past in the hallway ahead. Was that a package in their small hands? A bit curious, she quietly followed the flying ball of fluff and kupos.

At least, until she saw where they were going.

Of all the times Falon didn't follow her to guard duty, it was the time her curiosity led towards the Crystallized Heroes' wing. She knew well enough to turn around before being spotted by the guards, and thus waited a little longer until either Falon began searching for her or the other Hero reemerged with Ophelia. When she sees the taller man leaving the wing, she makes a faint waving gesture.]

Everything alright?

[It wasn't hard to spot Vincent, and the package had since been transferred to him from Ophelia as she fluttered along beside him. One of the few times they weren't keeping watch and company outside of Sephiroth's room, but visiting those among the fallen.

The wave only brought a blink, and nod of acknowledgement.]

As anything else. Yourself?

Much the same, given the unease.

[She makes a quick glance toward where the guards were stationed, then moved to follow the other two if need be.]

I heard of the incident. Security's been ever tighter since, considering another patient above.

[To her credit, she kept her voice down and non accusatory. If anything, there was a bit of empathy behind her tone.]

[Ophelia blinked, and moved to Vincent's shoulder. What had Ellana heard?]

Understandable, considering the Heroes precarious standing these days, even in Aquares Ixen.

[A dart of his own eyes down and towards her. Silently asking what she had heard.]

[Ellana simply nods once. A mage she might be, but she was used to being practically invisible when she was not forced into the spotlight. It was a perk of being an elven "savage" in her own world. The ears do not miss much.]

Especially lately, after our month-long absence. One would almost wonder if they had forgotten what antics others of our member get themselves into.

[...Especially when she was a couple floors up at the time of the sleep bullet shot.]

[Then she likely was aware of at least some of the rumors of what had transpired. Ellana would likely have no trouble figuring out, having fought alongside Vincent in the trip to her realm, what had happened.]

Little wonder that Heroes of Light are not always regarded as a blessing. We're hardly a unified group, nor do we act like saviors at times.

[Don't mind Mr. Cynical...]

Just "at times"?

[She grins a little bit, obviously teasing the cynical one.]

That is what happens after a group from all walks of life suddenly "appear out of nowhere". A few more colorful souls are bound to filter in.

[Probably a polite way of putting it, but still.]

[Hey, he kept a straight face for it, and he's doing so now too.]

You're being polite in description obviously.

[Dry sarcasm there. Not that he disagrees at all.]

It's amazing anything productive gets done sometimes, but it HAS happened.

Obviously.

[It's the politician in her.]

Sometimes it takes that kind of group to make things happen. Thedosian history is full of examples I could share on that, though it would likely bore poor Ophelia to tears.

[She's kidding; though she doesn't know of the moogle's fascination with stories.]
