Because all of this makes sense [OPEN]

[thegreatninja]

Characters: Yuffie and OPEN
Where: Aqures Ixen, also heading out of the city.
When: May 14th to May 20nd -ish
Summary: These chains of action make sense to Yuffie.
Warning: N/A


Rearranging some of MarKus's(or Spark's) things (or others – before meeting)

She would never take things and keep them, not anymore anyway. She just enjoyed moving her friends things around when they weren't around. If something caught her eye she might borrow it for a short period of time but she would always give it back. It was a distraction and it kept her skills sharp. There were many things filtering through her thoughts but nothing made sense when she finally went to put the pieces together.

Yuffie might be digressing a bit but it was the only way she really knew how to deal with everything. She wasn't sure if she should feel happy. Did she diverse to feel happy? Everything happens for a reason right? Maybe it was suppose to happen?

[ooc: Feel free to have Yuffie swipe anything. She'd look at it and then give it back or if she knows you, you can catch her moving your things around.]

Sneaking into windows (for those she knows - after meeting)

Her footsteps were silent as she moved across the gleaming grass. It wasn't so bright in the dark but the moons light was enough to make the area far to bright for Yuffie's liking. She couldn't really hide. She moved across the yard glancing at the window that stood like a checkered line marking the end of a race. It wasn't so hard to get to.

Yuffie should have probably turned invisible to do this but that wasn't as much fun and there was a purpose to her visit. The meeting had her thinking and this was her best chance to finally do something. She didn't think the other heroes were going to do anything so quickly so she was going to leave and try and do things herself.

There were just a few places she had to stop by first.

She moved up towards the window moving silently as she carefully began to open the sliding glass. She peeked in the window waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darker room. Let's hope her target was asleep.

Leaving town (Maybe not permanently or at all – after meeting)

Mooshoo finally caught up to her as she walked away from the city gates. A bag was slung over her shoulder and she walked with a purpose. She should probably leave with company but that didn't really cross her mind. She wanted to do something and this was one of the few times Mooshoo was trying to talk her out of a crazy idea.

”...This isn't a good idea” Mooshoo watched Yuffie his expression filled with worry. He usually let her be watching as she grew and changed over time. He knew that people cared about her and she cared about those around her and yet she was trying to do things on her own again.

“Come on. Mushu. It will be fine. I can't just do nothing.” She flashed him an angry stare.

”....you shouldn't go alone...”

“Yeah, I don't think anyone would want to come with. Besides I have even more people I want to protect.” She meant to make it sound like she was complaining but her tone became wistful and soft as she spoke. Yuffie knew a handful of people who'd get pissed if she just up and left.

Comments

y u gimme 2 prompts? (Taking things)

[2hell_weride]

Luckily MarKus, lately, had been alone in his house so when he's about to head for work the shout of,

"GOD DAMNIT YUFFIE"

doesn't awaken anyone... Maybe the neighbors.

Of all things, she took the ONE thing he needed for work. HIS hammer. Surprisingly only the Leangle Buckle had been turned upside down... But maybe it's been that way for a few weeks.

(Taking things) <3

[thegreatninja]

"Yeeeeeeeeeees?"

Yuffie was of course nearby as if she was expecting the loud shout. She was sitting on a step with a joyful smile as if she didn't know the topic to his yelling. It's not like she took anything so he couldn't really say that she did something wrong. It was like a treasure hunt! So he had to go find it.

"You look so red." Though that might have been the yelling. "Need somethin'?"

y u gimme moar prompts (Leaving town)

[2hell_weride]

Another Moogle intercepts Yuffie and actually shoves Mooshoo aside, clearly his berating not working.

Instead of verbally assaulting her, he just folds his arms and scowls.

"Yuffie...

(Leaving town) <3 <3 <3

[thegreatninja]

Mooshoo regains his flight glaring at the moogle who so rudely pushed him aside. He was going to say something to him but he quickly recognized the moogle and who his companion was.

Yuffie's shoulders tensed as she turned towards the new addition to their group.

"Yeah?" She was going to play innocent for as long as humanly possible.

Leaving Town--Because this seems like an excellent time to meet new house-mate :)

[bloodypast]

It had been a long airship ride, and Ophelia had been in contact and found their housing. She was slightly annoyed that Vincent hadn't wanted to go right then--SHE was tired. But she fluttered along behind and beside him anyways.

Vincent, meanwhile, wanted to explore the city in depth. Familiarize himself. It had taken most of the day, and now he wanted to at least check around the perimeter. THEN he would go see his 'house'.

Approaching the city gates, stepping outside--and movement caught his eye. Further ahead, another moogle--and probably their 'hero'. But bearing a familiar silhouette. Could it?

Quickening his pace, at a surprised kupo from Ophelia, to a fast walk. Eager to confirm for himself, and wondering what she was up to now. If it really was Yuffie, that is.

Leaving Town--YAY Hopefully this is good :p

[thegreatninja]

If Yuffie didn't hear the footsteps from behind her she certainly felt the stare that pressed into her back. She turned surprised to see Vincent walking towards her. Her first instinct was to bolt but then she remembered that she hadn't done anything yet. At least not to him.

"Hey, Vince. Took you long enough." Yuffie turned to face him, completely interrupting Mooshoo so eyes the hero curiously. Yuffie knew the name of her new roommate having heard from Mooshoo that she wouldn't be alone in her house for much longer. She was pretty sure no one else had the name Vincent Valentine but she tried not to get her hopes up.

Seeing him now just made her feel giddy. Though she was trying really hard to be grumpy. After all she was in the middle of a fight with Mooshoo.

Yuffie crossed her arms over her chest. "You could have come sooner, ya know. Tifa was all like, oh I meant Vincent and I didn't here anything about you being here." She was going to keep complaining unless Vincent shut her up.

[red_planet_blues]

[Sparks was about to leave for the meeting when he realized he had left his hat upstairs in his bedroom. Yuffie would probably have just enough time to hide as he opened the door. It took him only a moment to notice that his hat wasn't where he left it; as a matter of fact, nothing was. Not the furniture, but everything else that wasn't nailed down seems like it had suddenly been completely rearranged. Not that Sparks had a ton of stuff, but it was still really noticeable.

Sparks stood there for a moment, blinking. Then he narrowed his eyes, backed out of the room, closed the door and then reopened it.

Nope. Still where it was.

He was fairly certain there was one explanation for this.]

... Yuffie.

[Though he wasn't really expecting her to still be hiding nearby at this point.]

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie's hands flew to her mouth to stifle the laugh that rose from her chest. She has to stick around to hear his reaction though she doesn't like the fact that she is blamed so quickly.

Just wait until it's someone else and then she'd be laughing. Except that she is laughing and try as she might she is sure that Spark's would be able to hear her snickering from behind the door.]

[sizedoesntmatter]

Yugi had been laying in bed, eyes closed and taking small breaths trying to get to sleep. He had felt himself drifting in and out every so often, but found he couldn't sleep the whole time. So opening his eyes slightly, he shifted his weight to sit up.

He was still rather sleepy as he moved his hand to rub his eyes slightly, not paying all that much attention to his surroundings right now.

[thegreatninja]

"Yugi!"

Wide almond eyes watching him as Yuffie sat next to his bed with. She didn't mean for it to be creepy or for there to be a shadow standing next to his bed when he woke up but she had something she wanted to tell him.

"Wake up!"

After an impatient moment she jumped on the end of his bed sitting cross legged.

"I said hey!"

Leaving Town

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Minako had been pondering on something, sitting on a bench nearby while her moogle kept talking at her to pay more attention to the job she had at hand. But she wasn't paying attention. She was thinking over what had happened in the meeting, but she was also thinking about the people in this place and if they are too focused on what was the negatives rather than trying to focus on other things as well.

It wasn't long until she stood up and started to walk off, her moogle suddenly realizing that she had headed off before calling after her "H-hey, Were you listening at all?"

Minako had turned her head looking back as her running moogle, before looking around again. When she had stopped she couldn't help but over hear a moogle and someone talking. One shouldn't go alone? She was wondering what this was about and she was curious enough to try and find out and the more she heard she realized that maybe she was planning to do something about this whole problem they were facing.

"You know your moogle friend is right? One should never go alone."

Leaving Town

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie's gaze shifted to Minako staring at the girl as if she had grown another head. Mooshoo quieted as well. He didn't know if he appreciated the interruption but he was glad that it wasn't just him who thought her plan was ridiculous; not that he knew the details.

Yuffie was just staring at the girl with a dazed expression.

"And you are?"

Yup, she was 100% sure that she didn't know this girl at all. Maybe someone else she was close to did? Though she hadn't said Yuffie's name. Was she just passing by? Yuffie's mind was a little to rumbled to make heads or tails of anything at the moment.

Sneaking into windows

[line_piece]

[When Yuffie gets to Chiaki's room, she'll be greeted by the sight of a messy bedroom, with Triple Triad cards spread out on the floor and her brand new fancy computer set up in the corner, glowing softly and illuminating the rest of the room.

Chiaki herself is passed out on the bed, tangled up in the covers and kind of half-dressed at this point, having somehow pulled one of her arms out of her white mage robe and a single sandal sitting on the floor next to the foot that's dangling down off the side.

Despite her fastidiousness, Chiaki is apparently not very clean.]

Sneaking into windows

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie's plan is to wake Chiaki but there is so much stuff in the girls room that she is quickly distracted. She sits on the ground and slowly starts going through cards. She doesn't know much about the game but some of the pictures were pretty so Yuffie has to go through them all.

She sits with her legs crossed listening to soft snores as she goes through Chiaki's things.]

Oh neat?!

[She is also not trying to be quiet.]

# 2 Prompt; way to rudely barge in Yuffie. :|

[dammit_flynn]

[ Yuri and Flynn's room were quite empty when Yuffie was making an attempt in, but the room was rather messy on one side and extremely neat on the other. There were no shoes in the room, so it indicated that the inhabitants were nowhere in sight for the time being. ]

# 2 Prompt; obviously the window was unlocked. Not her fault

[thegreatninja]

Whoa.

[She stands in the center of the room looking back and forth at the two sections. Eventually she sits on the bed closing and opening her eyes to see half messy and then half clean.

After a few minutes Yuffie starts to giggle uncontrollably. Yeah, she's here for something but whatever it was has currently left her thoughts. She also isn't trying to be quiet.

This room is so weird!!]

Stealing Thangs

[neverfirstclass]

Cloud had a bit of time to kill before the meeting, and he decided to spend it doing something to get his mind off of it. His housemate had a habit of using up all the food in the pantry and while Cloud had been able to get some of the finished works now and again it was still annoying to go shopping so often.

When he left the store though he nearly dropped the grocery bag in shock. Where was Zack? He'd hitched his chocobo right here! Did someone steal him? Did he run off? Cloud was so surprised he neglected to use his own Chocobo Knight powers to recall the black-dyed bird.

Stealing Thangs

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie was giggling as she sat atop the black bird. She scratched beneath the feathers on his neck with a smile.

"How long should we make him freak out?" She was close enough that she could see Cloud though it was obvious that he hadn't noticed her sitting on top of his chocobo.

The over sized bird kwehed. "Oh come Zack! Just a little longer." She had a weakness for the bird much like she had for it's name sake.

[victorix]

Rikku was in that place just between being awake and asleep, where strange images flash in your mind's eye. Yuffie's soundless footsteps would have gone unheeded, as Rikku took the final steps into slumper. Something was not quit right, something primal made her uneasy, giving her pause just before she drifts away. It was the faint whisper of the wind on the leaves, the pressure change as the window slid open and closed. With a delay Rikku realizes she heard it.

Someone, someone was in the house!

Instantly awake, she jumps from her bed, her daggers make a distinct sound as she pulls them from their sheaths where they rest near her bedside.

"Whose there?!" She does her best to sound tough and not let her fear show. Swiveling until she sees the shadow, she narrows her eyes to try to make them out in the darkness.

[thegreatninja]

"Chill out already."

Yuffie silently walked forward sitting on the end of Rikku's bed. She didn't really feel threatened with the small blades in Rikku's hands. She pulled her knees towards her chest and glanced out the window.

"I wanted to talk."

It was hard for Yuffie to admit but she had been having a hard time. Luffy wasn't and because of that fact alone she's been feeling weaker than ever.

[vindr]

[Let's make it three for three, says rng~]

Manami was indeed asleep; deeply so from the long bike ride he'd put in after the meeting. He'd felt much better after that, but still his sleep was troubled by all that he wouldn't let his mind dwell on while awake.

Although his breathing was slow and even, his mouth was showing a slight frown and his eyebrows drawn down- an expression he rarely wore while awake.

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie quickly realized he was a sleep and leaned over to inspect his features. It reminded her of their meeting in the Empire, though just a little. He hadn't been sleeping well then either.

She glanced around his room and moved silently, grabbing a pencil which she then used to poke at his face. She pressed the end against his cheek trying to pull his lips into a smile as she spoke.

"Hey."

"Hey, wake up."

[mansome]

[Sorry Yuffie, were you intending to visit Cloud instead? Or were you intending to drop by Doug's place after all? Considering they both shared a living space, it wouldn't be too hard to get the rooms mixed up.

Either way, he was indeed asleep in his own room. Or he'd just fallen asleep anyway. That much may not be as easy to tell from the lack of lighting in there.

Be careful with your steps, because Doug's not exactly expecting anybody sneaking into their house tonight. ... Stick around long enough, however, and you may hear some amusing sleep talking on his part. Or perhaps maybe not so much.]

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie is pretty sure she is in the right room. It didn't use to matter when Cloud's roommates would just disappear or not be around.

She slowly steps through the room peeking at the hero who slept soundly in bed. She isn't about to do anything bad... she doesn't need to hear about it from Tifa.

It's only when she gets a good look at who's room she is in that she covers her mouth to stifle her gasp.

Well, she's already here. Might as well look around.]

[desertbloomed]

Ashelia was on her way back into the city when she came across Yuffie. Dressed in her battle attire, she had a large pouch of gil attached to her swordbelt, her blonde hair plastered to her forehead under her large red mage hat. She blotted at the mess with a handkerchief, but stopped in her tracks when Yuffie stalked past her.

"Yuffie?" She raised an eyebrow, having heard just the tail end of the conversation. "Where are you going?"

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie felt her shoulders tense as the familiar voice reached her ears. She turned slightly seeing an angry Mooshoo floating behind a confused Ashe. Her lips curled into a nervous smile as she turned to face Ashe fully.

When was the last time they talked? She was pretty sure it was months ago. It wasn't that she was avoiding the woman but it was easy not to run into her. She didn't need a reminder that she had failed her friends, again.

"That way."

Yuffie pointed behind her towards the wide expanse of the plans.

creepin' in through windows!

[grandsummon]

Even with her hands wrapped around a warm mug, there was no way to shake the chill that had visited Yuna that night. Even though the darkness had long set in, she sat awake in the kitchen, her only company the reflection in her tea -- who looked nearly as lost as she felt.

Her breath caught in her throat as the sound of the creaking window finally reached her, but by the time she rose, the intruder was already inside. Her heart beat fast, bounding in her chest as she swallowed it down, steeling herself. "Who... who's there?" she asked in a hurried breath.

creepin' in through windows!

[thegreatninja]

"It's Yuffie."

She hadn't meant to startle Yuna. Really she had to get better at sneaking if she was able to hear the window. Yuffie sighed softly feeling deflated by the comment. Though that wasn't the point to her visit so she quickly pushed the thought away. She walked into the dim lighting showing her petite frame while stepping closer to Yuna.

A hand scratched the back of her head as she looked over at the woman. "Sorry, er, I guess." She hadn't met Yuna in prison, they ran into each other once before but she wouldn't say that she knew the girl very well. She remembered her, it was hard not to listen when there were only walls between them.

"I guess.." Why had she come to see her? It didn't even make sense to Yuffie but she felt like it was important. Somehow, that she reach out to those who knew a part of her pain. She hadn't been able to tell anyone the details and she couldn't help but wonder what people thought when they looked her way.

"How ya been?"

20th May - Sneaking into windows

[shinrasfinest]

Except Yuffie really should have known better than to assume Sephiroth might be sleeping. Or rather, if he was sleeping, that the obvious chill to the room that opening the window provided wouldn't be more than enough to wake him up. He didn't sleep well at all, recently.

Still, beyond the closed curtains the bedroom was pitch black, only the vaguest of shapes to be made out in the gloom, and a light snoring could be heard from somewhere even if it didn't sound...big enough to be Sephiroth. Being the larger of the bedrooms, there was ample room between the window and the bed in the room for Yuffie to manage simply to walk by it-

The breeze from outside rustled the curtains and then there was a sudden rush of movement. Yuffie was pushed forwards abruptly, and immediately after wards a strong hand found the back of her neck and pressed her forwards into the nearby wall. It wasn't Sephiroth's intention to hurt, though, just to be firm.

"You should know better by now, Yuffie."

20th May - Sneaking into windows

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie can relate to not sleeping well. She can't remember the last restful night sleep she had alone in her room. She had stayed with Tifa a few times, curled up like a baby chick even though they were now almost the same age. Tifa will always feel older than her and it was a strange comfort.

She grunted as Sephiroth's firm grip took hold of her neck. She had expected something like this and the words quickly fell from her lips to temper his anger. "Wait, wait, wait, wait?! I didn't come to do anything weird! I just needed to talk to you without others around." It was the easiest place to find Sephiroth alone though she wished he wouldn't be so rough with her.

It didn't hurt but her heart still frantically raced in her chest and her shoulders tensed preparing for an attack. She squinted trying to make out his features in the dim lighting. "Of course I know. You think I'd be stupid enough to do this if it wasn't important?"

Well, it was important to Yuffie.
