This is hardly as fun as playing Candy Crush
Characters: Elena & Open
Setting: Throughout the Tower during the Event
Format: Will match yours
Summary: Catch-all for the "If You Won't" Event
Warnings: Collecting all the candy, feels, and more! I will update anymore content warnings as they happen.
[October 20th – Graveyard | OPEN TO ALL]
[If there was one lesson Elena remembered from her previous time in the Tower, it was that when it was suggested you do something, you did it. Because while there was sure to be repercussions for engaging in the action, not engaging would be far worse. And so she’s very calculating of her search, scanning all areas of randomly selected rooms before searching in narrow crevasses and any hard to reach place. And so far she’s been very lucky in her search, her candy collection growing.
Though…why again did she think it was a good idea to check a graveyard for candy? Oh, right. Because it was coming close to Halloween. Footsteps take her past several graves, eyes reading the names of the fallen. Lost? Fully-dead? More names become familiar, ones uttered on the network about going missing or being fully gone. On one she’d found a little meringue ghost, the irony not escaping her at all. It’s when she comes closer to a familiar row that she stops between a pair of gravestones and just stares.]
….Fuck you Ruana. [The words are a barely whispered hiss, her curious, neutral expression darkening.] That’s not funny.
[Moving forward towards the row of gravestones she’d mentally renamed as Gaia Row, she passes by several familiar names. Reno. Rude. Tseng. Rufus. The whole ShinRa family, lined up in a row. But that wasn’t what had made her stomach sink. It was the pair of chocolate roses resting across the grave of one Cloud Strife. They had made a very amiable connection during his stay in the Tower, working together to keep an eye on Reno, make sure that his head stayed on straight and his nose stayed out of trouble.
Squatting in front of the gravestone, fingers lightly lifted the pair of roses, one after the other, and dropped them into the little bowl she’d found on her bedside. Giving a little sigh, she reached out and brushed pads of her fingers against the etched name, giving the top a little pat as she stood.]
I'll bring you some real ones soon. [Her eyes moves to the rest of the gravestones.] All of you. Promise.
[October 21 - Floor 38 Lounge | OPEN TO ALL]
[Candy collecting was rather hard work, especially in the tower. She had taken a break in the lounge after finding three pieces of blue cotton candy, picking one of the numerous chairs and dragging it closer to the window to look over the scene below. The open fog, the clouds. It could have been a tranquil place to stay if one didn't know that the Tower was on its last legs and their entire environment could shatter around them.
Elena is curled up in the chair, her back pressed into a corner of the wingback, legs hanging over the arm, left foot bouncing to a tune in her head. She would relax here for just a few more moments before going back to the hunt. She didn't want to be lacking in candy when shit hit the fan.]
[October 22nd - Floor 53 Classroom | OPEN TO ALL]
[Since when did the Tower have a classroom? Standing in the doorway, Elena gave an uncomfortable cough before entering, a brilliant red apple sitting on the desk. Fitting. Given the fact she had nothing else to wear by her ShinRa Academy uniform, she looked like she belonged.
But there was just something about the silence of the room, of the desks being upside down, that made her skin crawl. It was a pity she couldn't just leave without finishing her search.]
[October 23rd - Floor 88 Bar | CLOSED TO RENO]
[It been a while since Elena had been to this floor - back when it had been run by dual Reno's and there had been alcohol. Oh, how she missed having alcohol. She wouldn't dare drink the random bottle that might be laying around, still full with questionable contents. That was a risk she wasn't willing to take.
The note had been left on Reno's nightstand, a simple message that would only be discerned by another Turk, after ensuring that all other residents had vacated the room.

She wouldn't lie, the temptation to lay on his bed for a few moments, but the risk was too great and she was back on the hunt for collecting candy. As the time for their meeting drew closer, she arrived at the location early, scanning the area first for any candy available and then to ensure there no pesky monsters or curious ears.
Once confirmed, she's eying the pool table. There was time for one round of billiards before Reno showed up, right? Right. Balls are racked and then broken with an audible 'clack', Elena engaging in a solo match against time.]

no subject
[In retrospect, it's easy to interpret the reticent Cloud from his world as being willfully standoffish or even scornful. Sephiroth knows that others' emotions are a cipher to him, and he can't guess how Cloud really felt.]
It is difficult to tell, considering the large number of possible worlds. Perhaps our worlds were similar.
I am Sephiroth.
no subject
[The Cloud from her world was not that much different. He was certainly standoffish, at least with the Turks. The Cloud she came across here was less so, even going to far as to assist them when needed.]
This place is always full of mystery and confusion. Its a shame he isn't here, otherwise we might have learned whether your worlds were more alike.
[At his introduction, Elena can't help but give a little smile. Really, he didn't have to tell her who he was. She already knew by the hair and the eyes. The eyes never lied.]
I am Elena. And I have to say, you're exactly how I imagined you'd look for your age.
no subject
It is, and the differences in our worlds might be great or slight. It is difficult to know.
[Considering his new memories, he's not particularly eager to see Cloud again. He's decided to forgive Vincent, which is why he's taken to wearing the tattered red headband the administrators gave him once again.]
I am pleased to meet you, Elena. You must know the other Sephiroth. There is a discrepancy between our worlds. We come from the same year in our common time, but you can see for yourself the difference in our ages.
[He's leaving out the fact that he was the same age as his other, but was reborn, but that's something he's only told to those he trusts.
She also hasn't said whether she's from his world. Telling someone from his world about the actuality of his identity would be more problematic.]
We do look alike.
