ARRIVAL.

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.

πŒπˆπƒπ†π€π‘ is within a few hours walking distance. πŠπ€π‹πŒ 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.

[No, she is more natural than that, but that makes her a curiosity for those like Hojo.]

My mother was a Cetra.

[The last. Ifalna.]

You seem like you need friends.

[ oh. his eyes brighten and - suddenly he's very close, sorry aerith, he's very poorly socialized. its very much like a puppy yanking at a leash to meet a new person, except he's eyeing her like she's potentially useful. ]

Do I?
earlylight: hatred, be cautious (aconite)

[Whoa! Hi there, buddy. She leans back a little, blinking up at him. Why is everyone associated with Hojo so tall and muscular? The mad scientist has a type, huh.]

Yes, you do. You're defensive because you're lonely. [She's...guessing. Is this working?]

[ it is not working. it is not working at all. weiss just laughs. ]
earlylight: jealousy (yellow hyacinth)

[personal profile] earlylight 2020-05-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Well she had to try! Now she backs up a step.]

What's your name? I'm Aerith.

Weiss.

[ at least he's not being openly hostile. just.

just very very weird. ]


The Immaculate Emperor.
earlylight: innocence (daisy)

[Her eyes widen - does she recognize the title? Is she about to run screaming?

Nope. She gives him a warm smile, crossing her arms behind her back.]


Emperor of what?

Deepground.

[ he has mako eyes - but they're not quite right. there's gold where there should be green. ]

Shinra's forgotten secret.
earlylight: truth (bittersweet)

[His eyes are...strange. She has to look away, a faint frown appearing between her brows.]

You need to leave that behind, Weiss.

You'll find I don't enjoy being told what to do.

[ but. ]

Is this your doing?
earlylight: spice, interest (savory)

[personal profile] earlylight 2020-05-22 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not. It's a suggestion. [A plea, actually. Nothing good has come from ShinRa.]

No. I was pulled from the Lifestream; I didn't expect it.

[ there's a renewed interest in his eyes. ]

So you're dead, then.
earlylight: capricious beauty (ladys slipper)

[personal profile] earlylight 2020-06-04 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
I was! [Now she's...not. She places a hand over her chest.] My heart is beating.
