The Sky is the Limit

WHO: Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear, Naminé, Sora, Yuri Lowell, Possibly Castmates???
WHAT: Determined to get herself up to speed as a Hero of Light, Natalia marches right into that lab to face her Calamity Self. She doesn't know what she's getting into, as her biggest concern is choosing which job she should keep equipped.
WHEN: November 10th
WHERE: Palitutu's Laboratory - Aqures Ixen
WARNINGS: Tales of the Abyss spoilers regarding Natalia's origins


Natalia awoke bright and early that morning, bathing herself and dressing in her blouse and leather jerkin. She looked as fresh and clean as she always did before setting out to work, and today would be a busy day indeed. She'd contacted those few she knew and trusted to inform them of her decision to face her Calamity Self promptly, as she had every intention of returning to Trano Golsaucia with better supplies to help them protect themselves against the Calamity. Battling the monsters during her week-long stay there had helped her build up a significant stash of gil, which would be used to purchase warm blankets, clothes, food, weapons, and medicine. She kept only enough to refresh the pension she'd had to use to pay for her own needs; the rest was earned in Trano Golsaucia so she meant for it to be spent on fortifying the city. She couldn't stay rooted in that place forever, but she could at least ensure it had a fighting chance. There were other places that required her attention as well, such as Flence, Aerilon, and Nabila from the sound of it.

Hopefully conquering her Calamity side would boost her ability to move about these lands and battle the creatures that dwelled there as well.

Natalia waited outside of the laboratory, patiently waiting for the others. She didn't demand perfect punctuality, but if anyone was more than fifteen minutes late, she would simply have to assume that they weren't coming.

"Thank you for accompanying me in this endeavor," she said graciously, before turning on her heel and pushing open the doors to the laboratory. "Though I am unsure what to expect, I do know the ultimate goal, and will strive to complete my task swiftly." She led the way with a confident smile that belied the butterflies that fluttered wildly in her stomach. Naturally she was a little nervous, but she wasn't afraid. Her friends were here beside her, so what did she have to fear?

"Well, some people have a hard time accepting things about themselves. Especially if they've been pushing it aside for a while or haven't even realized it yet." Everyone has their difficulties in life, the things that maybe they can't accept or even forgive. Some find it more impossible to accept if they have guilt or regret over something that can no longer be changed.

He thought it was good - going into this with as much confidence and cheer as she could, it would help her in the end. Sora attempted not to think of it as the Doctors would have back in the Facility. Tried not to compare Natalia to how he used to be before everything was ripped away.

"No problem! I'm available anytime you need me," he stated. Sora has to tell himself that it isn't a promise that he's just going to break. "It can help to have as many friends as possible in this sort of thing. By accepting you, it can help you accept it too."

Sora laughed at that, scratching the back of his head. "You could say that's true. Admittedly sometimes stuff just goes over my head entirely."
