Log 020 | Such potential... [Event log: Rumor has it]

Characters: Sephiroth & YOU
Setting: 19th May. Prompts in below, or anywhere on route between them (feel free to tag in with whatever rumor chaos he may encounter)
Format: 2 x Prose, 2 x Action. Will match tagger.
Summary: Rumor event gives Sephiroth that well-sought after ego boost. He returns to his Dorm to a confusing gift left for him. Later there is Ryoji mail-bombing and yet another early evening of silent focus.
Warnings: Sephiroth is his own warning. Can be prone to violence etc. Also inflated-ego warning.

Dormitory 03-02 & Dorm Hallways before/after
How satisfying the far reaching effects of his legendary willpower. This experiment into the limitations of his mind control on one not even tied to Mother's web, had proved well beyond any expectation he could have hoped for. Those words on the wall he'd past on his way to the dormitory lift that morning, had only served to further satisfy him. Of course Yukiko hadn't been able to resist Ryoji, Sephiroth hadn't given him much choice in the matter. This was perfect. There was so much potential to expand upon.

He entered the Dormitory but then paused not more than a few feet from the doorway. There was a small, around only 15 cm rough wooden carving of a tree left on his bed. Resting on the well-made sheets that he'd left that morning when he'd ventured out. After peering around the room after any one of his room mates that might be able to inform him who put it there, Sephiroth approached the edge of this bed.

A tree. What relevance was this supposed to hold for him? Just as his gloved hand paused from lifting the strange carving he spotted a piece of paper folded underneath. His expression dropped suspiciously as he lifted the note out first and unfolded it, though he needn't have automatically attached such concern to it.

Will you be stop being silly and be forgiving me already?

It was unsigned but it wouldn't take Sephiroth more than two beats to realize who it had to have been from. He held the wooden carving in his other hand, spending not more than a few moments taking in it's details before placing it down on the bedstand. He turned his attention to the note once more. This had been the second such note he'd received with regards to his time as a drone. But whilst he understood, and to a certain extent had accepted, Hidetoshi's very well written, apologetic letter due to the need for them to co-exist within the same four walls - Nesir was a different thing entirely.

She too had laughed at him along with Ryoji. And despite all of the mess that kid had left behind, she'd still returned to be friends with him, he knows this for a fact. Sephiroth doesn't understand the reason why Nesir would be so desperate for his forgiveness; but then, maybe she wasn't as naive as all that. It would serve anyone's purpose well, to remain in his good graces. Though, curiosity piqued, Sephiroth headed back out into the hallway, bound for the floor with that specific tree.
 
 ----

That tree, Forest floor 6
whether Nesir would be there or not, Sephiroth headed out from the stairwell into the Forest. Though the last time he'd made this journey he had been a great deal wetter, both in the literal sense and with regards to his mood. He was in comparatively high-spirits now, thanks to his latest exploits and he fancied that he felt more whole than he had done in a long time. He felt proud again. Part of him hoped that the rest of the Tower knew that.

It would take a few stops at similar looking trees, and a few stops to fend off the indigenous wildlife before he came to the trunk of that tree, the one that he believes she'd symbolized in her carving. Where they had sat for several hours simply tolerating each others' company for the most part. Before that embarrassing infiltration, before Ryoji had become such an issue. Sheltering from the rain.

It's somewhat beyond Sephiroth why on earth this would have meant anything to Nesir, he's not exactly the more forthcoming of people to spend time with. For quite some time, he would stand there gazing up into the branches of the tree as if there was some clue there. Pausing from his thoughts only long enough to cut down any monster or mutated creature that would approach.

----

Mailroom Fl 78
[Later on that day, Sephiroth can be found riding the elevator up to the 81st and then descending the stairwell to the mailroom. He doesn't have a mailbox but that doesn't stop him from sending messages to anyone who does. Just give your note to a worker unit and say the persons name. Who'd even want a mailbox anyway.

Though, until now, he's had to give two notes over when he's wanted to offer a comment to his mark. But it seems there is only one Ryoji left in the Tower now. Well isn't that convenient.]


----

Lounge Fl 81 (Evening)
[As quite usual, Sephiroth can be found early in the evening sat in the middle of Floor 81. He's moved whatever furniture was in the way and killed whatever monsters were needed to in order to secure the floor (the corpses wouldn't be too far away). He is settled down cross-legged to gather his thoughts and continue that so-important sharpening of his focus and by extension those powers that he's only just starting to play with here. He seems oblivious to anyone who might approach him from behind, but it might feel as if he's still watching you as if he's eyes on the back of his silver head as well.

Those that are sensitive to detecting mental/physic fluctuations may well be able to tell that Sephiroth is meditating in order to focus his power in on itself for some reason. Though his mind itself is impenetrable; you'd have to ask.]

[It had been a very bizarre day for chaos, with the writings on the wall and the fact that he kept believing in various scribblings, even if one thought them silly. He had even avoided people for a good portion of the day, believing that his collar was going to force him to become a living bomb.

So, looking for some rest, chaos had come up to the lounge to view the stars..but saw and sensed Sephiroth. While it had been awhile since the two had crossed paths, chaos remembered him..and sensed the person focusing his power on itself. A bit curious, chaos couldn't help but ask.]

What are you preparing yourself for, if you do not mind my asking?

*Enoch comes by, inadvertently announcing his presence when he's out of range of a powers-disabling creature, his armor reforming with a white glow. He doesn't even notice Sephiroth until he's almost out of the adjacent trees.

He's bloodied a bit, but not from his own veins; he's carrying an armful of bullfairy corpses.*

That's an odd place to rest. This level can be dangerous.

He might have not got the hint, but she figured she would wait up here anyways in case he did and came.

She saw him approach and look up, she dropped down from the high branches to perch just above his head. "There you do be being, I did be about to be giving up."

[chaos felt that tuning-down, but didn't comment on it.]

That is true, especially in this place. However, most people prepare for a reason, because they think that something is coming.

I won't be on this level for long.

*And then his armor vanishes again.

In his other hand, he holds a sling already loaded with a stone. He's turned around to watch the trees he came from...

And sure enough, one of the forest's rabbits, already sporting a bloody wound on its head, comes hopping out, seeming a little dazed. Enoch takes a step back and puts as much of his strength as he can into the sling, a downward throw aimed right at the rabbit - it strikes it midair as it lunges and the now unconscious rabbit hits Enoch's legs harmlessly. With a stomp to its neck, he kills it, and his armor reforms. He drapes the sling over his shoulder and reaches down to pick up a couple of the bullfairies that had dropped.*

...Not as long as I can help it, that is. Why are you resting here of all places?

[ while Sephiroth stepped onto the floor, Ishtar was already lurking somewhere in it, testing out her sword again to make sure things would work smoothly. Sidia had not been stained with blood since she had it at home, but because it had been a life and death situation, she had used it to its fullest extent.

She still thought that the weapon had some sort of ability to understand her and help her, even though it wasn't exactly possible. She believed it only because Ruelles were made from the souls of living creatures. Sidia had souls of vampires molded into it with heavy magic. There was no way it would not be somewhat alive. She closed her eyes, testing one of the spells that Yujinn had taught her a long time ago. A defensive spell, creating a sort of barrier as the words flowed from her mouth quickly, enveloping her in an invisible barrier until she moved Sidia to destroy it.

It still worked. She smiled. ]


I can always count on you, Sidia. [ That and she needed some time to gather herself together because Darres was here. ]

"So why did you be coming?" Her voice was curious as she hooked her legs around the branch and swung upside down so she was facing Sephiroth.

It was a lot easier when it wasn't raining.

[Sephiroth's keen ears had to have heard it, the rustling and strange chewing sound from the branches above. Among the lush and greenery above him swung the monkey-like lad, swaying from branch to branch with a large piece of meat stuck between his teeth.

Coming to rest upon a large, stable limb, Luffy sat and began to eat his prize as he looked down to the ground below.

Huh, that's weird. That silver and black guy looks familiar.., he ponders.]

[This floor happened to be a favorite of Miss Nanaya's, even if she'd only recently discovered it. It's hard to resist such an epic view and especially when its so gorgeous at each and every time of day - though the clouds and the stars in the dead of night had to have been the best as they're absolutely badass in her opinion. Recent stirrings of strange rumors and other happenings remind her of Link's wise words regarding something big coming on the horizon and how she shouldn't tell anyone, which is exactly why she's taken to keeping to herself for now.

Or at least, that was the plan until she runs into him.

She's only really seen Sephiroth once before, though anyone with half a brain would be able to tell this guy's no good. She's done her homework snooping around the network as well, making her rather savvy about the whole "Don't mess with Sephiroth or Ganondorf" schpeel. And while she could've very well left the floor as soon as she had come, something compels her to stay, as if he were watching her the entire time... Leaving would've been the same as just high-tailing it outta here, right? A sign of weakness. That's how she feels, at the least.

Makoto approaches quietly, some random book she'd yoinked from the Library in tow as she unceremoniously slumps into a nearby chair, legs kicked up on a table]


Mornin' stranger! Lovely weather we're havin' innit?

[personal profile] lightofhumanity 2013-05-22 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. That is one way of looking at the situation.

[There were a few other ways, since there were many different people in this Tower, but chaos wasn't going to elaborate unless Sephiroth wanted him to.]
culbutiri: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2013-05-22 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because you do be still mad at me." She swung herself upright again, since she was beginning to get dizzy and then dropped down to the floor. "And people do be liking it when they do be getting things I do be thinking."

She saw no reason to try and hide her huge lack of actually understanding most people in front of someone who was not light addled.

[While chaos was aware of himself, he had lived and experienced quite a bit to know that there were quite a few opinions, thoughts, and feelings on different matters, and everyone was going to have their own takes on them, due to their views and personal history.

chaos felt the huge drop in power, but, once again, he didn't comment on it.]

It is not. Different people view this situation, and how to handle it, in different ways. As for myself..I do not think that we are expected by all to continue being tormented by the Administrators.

[There's a sudden "woosh" of air, followed immediately with an echoing "thud" as the ground shakes under the high dive landing of Monkey D. Luffy. Standing straight as his knees bent back after absorbing his fall, the young pirate chuckled and tipped at his hat off of his eyes.

Hugging his banana bunch closely, the young man seems to have forgotten their past meeting, or at least the end result of it.]

"Hey, Sephiroth! Fighting monsters in the forest again?"
culbutiri: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] culbutiri 2013-05-23 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Nesir leaned against the tree and waited. Honestly she couldn't blame him for being suspicious, she would be suspicious if someone gave her a gift as well. The only person to have ever done so was Lotte and that was different, the motive was always because Nesir was to be her warrior, and she didn't want her not having good equipment and such.

She waited for him to finish the sentence and when he didn't she sighed. "There do no be being many of us." Us being those that served the Dark god or other world versions of it, "Fighting against each other do be what the administrators do be wanting. It probably do be why they did be doing that experiment to begin with."
