I'm So Sorry, Kupo
WHO: Akane Kurashiki
WHAT: Possessed by the spirit of a vengeful Moogle, Akane isn't quite herself these days, kupo. It's high time she created herself an army of equally vengeful zombies. Kuppopo.
WHEN: October 20th - ???
WHERE: Aqures Ixen
NOTES: Feel free to Plurk or PM me, or use the plotting post, if you would like your character to interact with Akane in some way. If she kills you, I can send you instructions so you can go out and wreak havoc. If you want to tussle with her too, I can probably roll with that!
Akane kept looking at her hands. It was so strange to possess such long, slender fingers. She was so much taller, too...but her body felt awkward and heavy. Moving around in it took some getting used to, but with Akane's memories and knowledge at her disposal, it wasn't too difficult.
She sat down at her desk and held her head in her hands, closing her eyes. She had a plan. Of course she did. But that plan had to remain flexible, not rigid, if she was going to have any luck seeing it come to fruition. That was part of the reason why she wore a long, thin dagger at her waist...for improvisation, kupo.
Naturally the housemates had to be the first ones to go. They would notice something off first. And there was the brother, too. Akane took a sheet of paper and began to write. The brother, at least, would be ridiculously easy. He wouldn't question a thing if she played her cards right...
'Aoi,
I need your help. I can't tell you everything, and we have to be very careful over the next several days. The business with the Ultima WEAPON isn't yet complete, and if we don't want to see the city destroyed, I'm going to need you to follow my instructions. What I have to ask you will seem cruel, but once you realize the truth, you will understand why I've had to keep my secrets. Please meet me at once outside of the city gates where we can speak in private.
Love,
Akane'

"It's awful... Someone's managed to take control of our doppelgangers out there, and they've slowly been infiltrating us one by one. I think...I think some of us may already be dead, or kidnapped, or... I-I'm not sure, kupo," she shook her head. "But they've been doing this for a while, trying to get their hands on the Ultima WEAPON by replacing the people we trust and care about most with their own puppets."
Her fingers knit tightly in the hem of her tunic. "What we have to do...it's a terrible thing. And people who haven't been taken over won't understand. But between the two of us, I think...I think we can put a stop to it, kuppopo. Before it's too late."
no subject
"We'll stop the dopplegangers, don't worry. Tell me who they are and I'll take 'em out. We'll save everybody we can save, same as always." Just another day in the life of the Crash Keys.

"It will be very dangerous. Sephiroth...he may be contaminated. He's been acting so strangely lately. And you've seen the window that bears his image, where he's cutting down the Heroes. There really can't be any doubt, but...it's a serious matter, isn't it? I'll let you know once I'm completely certain." Akane took a breath. "Test him. You can create illusions with the job you have now, can't you? Create a situation that would cause him to attack, and if his actions are violent, he will have revealed his doppelganger nature."
She had to be cautious. The young man was gullible when it came to his little sister, but if she sent him on a rampaging murder spree, even he would begin to question his assignment. Best to start out slow and build up to it. He was her most valuable tool, because he would cooperate without operating as one of the undead. No, she wasn't about to risk it by asking him for too much too soon.
no subject
"Yeah, like we did to get that asshole Ace to show his true colors, 'cept using magic instead of psychology. Ok. I can do it."
If anyone could provoke someone to violence, it was Aoi. If Sephiroth was a doppleganger, Aoi would make him prove it.
"And if he is...?"
no subject
As for what if? They both knew the answer to that. "Well," she sighed, as if it were some minor annoyance, "I suppose we'll just have to kill him. But if I'm the one to strike the last blow, I think I'll be able to make him work for us instead of the culprit responsible for all of this. Maybe we can get him to tell us who he's working for."
Her response was almost chillingly nonchalant. But then her shoulders wilted, and her head seemed heavier. "I think Hisui is a doppelganger sent to spy on me as well. If he finds out I know that he's against us..." Akane shook her head dismally. "I know he'll be watching me closely. But you might have better luck getting to him. And there's one other..."
Akane cupped a hand to the side of her mouth and leaned in to whisper confidentially to Santa. Never mind that they were out on the plains where they could see all around them, once could never be too careful. Especiallly when some Heroes had the Invisibility skill!
no subject
"Ok. I'll do it. I'll find them and bring them to you, and if you can't get them to repent, we'll make sure they don't hurt anyone else."
no subject
"Be safe, Aoi. You don't know just how important you really are to me." He was her most invaluable tool, and she meant to use him to the fullest.
no subject
He waved off her concern for him. "You know I know how to take care of myself. 'cept that one time I got sick. I got this."
Maybe her sickness and verbal ticks were tied to connecting to problems in the Morphogenetic Fields, like when she got fevers back in Nevada. Best for her to rest until Aoi could right whatever was wrong with their timeline.
no subject
She rubbed at her eyes and brushed at her cheeks. "Maybe I'll rent a room at the inn. No one will expect that, I don't think, and it'll help me clear my head and think in a safe place. Thank you, kupo."
Turning toward the city gates, she was quiet for a moment, as though gathering her resolve. "All right. Let's go."
no subject
corrupt pharmaceutical CEOs and crazy cult leaderspeople were really out to get you.
"You need gil for that? Remember, use cash, not your bank card, if you want to make sure nobody can trace it back to you." That was, like, basic 'life on the run' stuff, but Aoi figured a reminder wouldn't hurt if Akane was feeling really off at the moment.
"I'll come help you get settled in," he declared. That way, he'd know Akane was safe.
