ARRIVAL.
π ππ πππ π ππππ ππππ ππ ππππ πππ π you moved under your own power. The shadows that dwelt in the corners of your vision vanished, the world is bright and the shackles of destiny fall from your liberated limbs.
You're free.
But before you can take that next step, before you can alter your fate, a terrible howling fills your ears. It's an ill wind full of malice, one that rips you off of your feet and back, back, back from this chance to seize your destiny. The shadows coalesce into a single entity, its hands locking around your throat. It cannot let this stand.
You think that maybe this is the end. The world goes dark as it rushes past you, this is the end.
Except you wake to the feeling of rain on your skin.
The cliffs around you bare the scars of a fierce battle. Before you, a massive city faces the sea. Behind you, greenery sprawls for miles. Midgar has never looked so beautiful, but it has also never looked so unlike itself. The Sister Ray points proudly towards the sea. A bustling city crawls out from its shadow, looking wealthier and more robust than the slums ever did. You don't have long to ponder this.
Because you aren't alone. Others are coming to, looking just as confused and uncertain as you do. Some are battleworn and bloody, as if they were pulled from a fierce battle. Others appear to be in perfect health, as if they were simply pulled from a long slumber, though no less confused and lost. The howling that filled your slowly begins to fade, and as it does, the rain begins to clear.
ππππππ is within a few hours walking distance. ππππ lies not much further in the opposite direction. There is no presence urging you to walk to one or the other, no voice from on high telling you what path your feet should walk. Underneath this infinite blue sky the choice to go - or to stay - is entirely yours.
ππππ ππππ πππ ππ ππππ ππ?

What kind of a favor?

Oh right. You're gonna help me get back in shape.
[ Zack isn't 100% sure what thousands of bullets do to the human body, even after Ancient magic intervention, but he's guessing it's not great. ]
I mean, you learned from the best, right? And now you're... y'know.
[ Hot and fierce af. ]
Maybe you can teach me some of that fancy hiyah shit.

[Okay, but she had to pointedly look him head to toe. Just sweep him over with her deep red eyes, (maybe linger a little longer than is friendly on his abs and arms) and then raise her eyebrows.]
I don't know how much more shape you're trying to get into, but sure I could teach you some things.
no subject
It's a deal then! Today can be our cheat day. I ain't holding back on the syrup, so you got your work cut out for you, kid.
[ Yeah, he said it. And he's bumping his shoulder against hers too and then fucking running off before she can make good on her promise to learn him one because the edge of town is right there waiting and he can smell those waffles from here. ]
no subject
She only glances back at him when he bumps her again, but he takes off like a shot.]
Hey! Cheater!
[And she's taking off after him. And she's fast too.
It's not a terrible way to start things out. All things considered.]
