[The Arcana Is The Mean By Which All Is Revealed] || [Semi-Open]

Characters: A lot of characters, check the tags!
Setting: Various floors for gathering the seeds; the battles will happen on the Roof of Towerception (Floor 75).
Format: Prose or action, whichever you prefer!

Summary: That's the log for everything related to the Nyx Avatar player plot! The OOC post is here if you want more information about it! You can also use it if you want to plot about how the battles will go. The log is going to be divided into five main threads: a first thread for Ganondorf to gather the "seeds" who will be used to make Ryoji go into his Nyx Avatar mode. Essentially, he's just going to trap them into nifty, colored crystals while they're distracted. The second thread will be about Ryoji reaching the roof of towerception and subsequently being kept there alongside the four seeds till the heroes arrive.

The third thread will be about the 'heroes' arriving to Towerception-- If they took part in the Sephiroth battle, they will have received a seemingly friendly letter asking them to come, otherwise either they will just happen to pass by the tower and feel a strange presence / hear weird noises. Finally, the fourth thread will be about the battle against the seeds with a sub-thread per seed, and the final thread about the battle against Ryoji. As a reminder, the four "seeds of grief" are: Diarmuid, Lancer, Patrick Dawn and Yukiko Amagi.

Because of how the log is divided, you can start the battles without having to wait for the three "lead-in" threads to be completed.

Warning: Evil gloating. Unending lectures about the tarot arcana. Lots of sad all around. Of course, anyone participating in the battle against either the seeds or Nyx takes the non-negligible risk of being killed or grievously wounded.

Yukiko Amagi - Floor 48

[Yukiko can be found in the graveyard. It's the second time she's come here since her return to the tower, but now her arms are filled with flowers. She's pausing at every grave marked with a name she knows, leaving some flowers and whispering an apology and a promise to save them this time.

It's easy to tell that she's distracted, lost in her own thoughts as she carries out what she feels is her duty. Her guard is down and she really isn't paying attention to anyone else that might be there.]
culbutiri: (let me think about that)

[Yukiko had taken a little time to track down, considering that Nesir had never met her in person. She knew who she was though, and knew that she had been away for a while, and now was back.

She had followed her to this floor, and was stood in front of a grave, Rise's grave. She still thought that graves, and what they symbolised was strange and blasphemous but she understood that it was not that way for others. She looked up when she saw the girl coming her way.]


You did be having a grave here, it do be being gone now. So you do be being the same Yukiko who used to be being here.
slightlyoblivious: (a little unsure)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-16 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a little surprising to see someone else at Rise's grave, but Yukiko guesses that the woman standing at the grave was a friend of hers. It's the most reasonable explanation.]

That's right. I thought I'd come down and see everyone else that isn't here anymore, much as I can see them. It's the least I could do.

...did you know Rise-chan? I know she was here for a while before I got here the first time. It's not much of a surprise that she'd have a lot of friends.
culbutiri: (true smiles)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-17 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
She did be being my roommate. [She smiled and shook one of her feet, despite the fact she wore the white suit they arrived in and a tower made cloak her feet were covered in black school shoes.] She did be giving me these, because it did be being cold. She did be being kind always.
slightlyoblivious: (relaxed and happy)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-17 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That's Rise-chan for you. You can always count on her to do whatever she can to make things better in a rough situation.

[She refuses to use the past tense. Her friends are still out there, and she's convinced they're somehow all right. Still, there's a hint of sadness in her smile as she shifts the flowers she's holding to extend a hand to Nesir.]

I think I've seen you around here before, but I never got to introduce myself. You know I'm Yukiko - what's your name?
culbutiri: (smirking)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-19 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nesir took it, and shook it, the gesture still feeling strange to her even though she had been here for over a year now.] I do be being Nesir Aeser [Either Yukiko hadn't heard of her, or she had and they would have to act fast.]

[She smiles, shaking Nesir's hand. Yukiko doesn't know of her, so it's the first time they've met. Either way, mentioning a friend means Yukiko's defenses are down, and she doesn't suspect a thing.]

It's nice to meet you, Nesir-chan. It's just a shame that it's under these circumstances...
culbutiri: (shielded eyes)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-21 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nesir smiled back, moving the needle she had concealed in her white suit to prick at Yukiko's wrist. It shouldn't feel like more than a quick scratch, easily explained by the material or a stray finger nail. The poison was fast enough acting, but not fast enough for her to suspect anything, Nesir had about five minutes before Yukiko got dizzy and sleepy enough to become wary.] It do be being nice to be meeting you as well, though you do be being right the circumstances could be being better.

[She looked over the graveyard] Do you be knowing many people here? A lot of people must have been going while you did be being gone.
slightlyoblivious: (concerned about this)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-21 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[It could also easily be blamed on a rogue thorn from one of the roses in Yukiko's arms, and that's where the blame gets placed. She winces a little bit, shifting the flowers around again.]

...ouch. I thought I'd moved the flowers so the thorns wouldn't get me. It figures that even the flowers here are enough to hurt you.

[Yukiko laughs it off, then blinks. It's probably not okay to laugh too much in a graveyard.]

Mm. I know too many. Rise-chan, Naoto-kun, Kanji-kun, Yosuke-kun, Chie, Yu-kun, and Saki-san. Those are just the ones from my hometown. It seems like we come and go all too often. It's sad.

[She blinks a little, feeling just a bit dizzy. Yukiko still doesn't suspect anything, though, save a few of the flowers, which she discards.]
culbutiri: (resigned smiles)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-22 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Everything here do be being able to be hurting you. [Her voice was sympathetic as she walked next to her, reaching out to help adjust the flowers.] And that do be being a lot of people from your town, I think I do be being the only one from my world... as far as I can be telling.
slightlyoblivious: (what's that?)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-22 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty much everyone I was friends with, or acquainted with, back home...

[Yukiko sways on her feet a little, dropping those flowers entirely before deciding she really needs to sit down. The poison is starting to kick in for her, and she's feeling off - dizzy and sleepy.]

...even the flowers have it in for me, I guess. I'm not feeling so well.
culbutiri: (shielded eyes)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-22 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her face turned to concerned as she looked towards Yukiko.] You're not feeling well? [She reached out to steady her] You should sit down, have you eaten today you might not have enough energy.
slightlyoblivious: (you lost me)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-22 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I had breakfast and lunch earlier, I'm not sure why I'm feeling so strange now...

[Yukiko does sit down, bringing her knees up to her chest and resting her head on them.]

It's like my head's spinning, and I'm feeling really - well, off. I can't think of how to put it.
culbutiri: (shielded eyes)

wow I derped on the dialect in that last tag, oops

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Nesir sits down next to her, reaching out to touch Yukiko's back, rubbing it softly.] Just be resting a while, it might be being an illness, or maybe there do be being another experiment or something... Just be trying to be relaxing.
slightlyoblivious: (sleeping beauty)

it's okay, don't even worry about it

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-23 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, and some of the tension goes out of her shoulders as she lets herself relax, just for a bit. It's probably just Tower nonsense; it'll go away soon, right?

It doesn't go away. After a few minutes, Yukiko realizes something's really wrong. The idea of standing up doesn't seem like a good one - she feels like she'll pass out if she does.

In the end, that doesn't really matter; Yukiko doesn't mean to fall asleep, but she can't help it.]
culbutiri: (attentative)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-23 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nesir continues rubbing her back, soothing her as she falls asleep. Once she is asleep she waits, to make sure the poison has taken hold.] Yukiko, can you be hearing me?

[No response and Nesir checks her pulse and breathing. Steady and deep. She grins and looks around, hopefully Ganondorf is near and gets here before anyone else does.]
slightlyoblivious: (sleeping beauty)

[personal profile] slightlyoblivious 2014-01-23 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[There isn't, and won't be a response; she's out like a light.]
culbutiri: (true smiles)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-23 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She didn't even bother to hide the grin, after all of Sephiroth and Ganondorf's doubts she was glad to be actual able to do things to prove herself.

She watched as Yukiko was lifted.]
I do be guessing that it did all be going alright with Diarmuid? [She still wishes she could have helped with that one, but she knows better than to let personal feelings get in the way in matters such as these]
culbutiri: (smirking)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2014-01-24 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nodded with another grin] You can be counting on me.
