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?

[ Dammit. No fun shopping montage with Zack riding in a cart while Weiss pushes. There goes that boss-ass scenario. ]
Unless you got enough to secure us some new gear, I think that plan is out.

[ oh. right. ]
We have no need of that.

Whatcha mean? How else would we...
no subject
[ obviously. ]

[ Give him a second.
Ok make that two.
... DAMMIT WEISS NO. ]
Whatβ No.
[ Zack's starting to get, like, this creeping feeling that maybe Weiss isn't a great person. ]
Look, I have an idea, okay? Just leave it to me.
no subject
[ he sounds intrigued. ]
I'll entertain it. However if it proves ineffectual then I am taking command.

[ Zack puts his hands on Weiss's shoulders. Emphasis on theβ ]
Stay here. I'll take care'a everything. Then we suit up, march in, and raze Shinra to the ground! Or whatever you wanted to do.
