It was now or never. 

The Tower had ripped his soul, the very core of his being from it's rightful place and bound it indefinitely in wire frames and nano film. Since he had awoken here all those cycles ago, the proverbial dagger had been stabbed, twisted and turned in defiance of his self-control, in spite of his indomitable will, again and again. This was not his Destiny; to be played with as such a literal child's-toy with no regard whatsoever for his divine birthright. He had worked tirelessly since then, one way or another, to gain for himself the means by which he could flip this game in his favor. The boycott, the fluid research, the countless infiltration attempts and new vessels he had gone through - all culminated to this point.

His real powers were unlocked, and with them the game changing realization that whatever he could put his mind to in this new Realm wouldn't be as simple as all that. In the absence of even an atom of his particular, real genetic makeup Sephiroth discovered quickly that he could only ever cultivate his power -his will- to a certain point before, by the constraints of the Tower it would not go any further. 

And so it had turned full circle, right back to the sore fact that there had only ever been one, real resolution.
Sephiroth needed out. 

It was sometime late afternoon on 10th March, when Sephiroth decided to settle in his Dormitory to make that final, brutal push against his cage. Within only a few moments of well-practiced, meditative charged silence sat atop his bed Sephiroth's consciousness was released further into his core than he had ever let it sink before. His will only had one intent; to wrap around all of his power at once and expand it outwards away from him in one almighty push. There were a few attempts that rippled through the very fabric of his core as he teased more of this force against the barriers that had kept it contained for so long. 

A sharp breath was taken and Sephiroth threw all of his consciousness into exuding itself through the bars, all in one go. His large black wing burst itself violently out of his right shoulder, but it didn't stop there. At it's fullest extension the black monstrosity shimmered before collapsing it's form smoothly into thick, inky black, shadowy tendrils which sped out from Sephiroth's form in every direction. They quickly wrapped themselves around everything in Sephiroth's direct vicinity and then -as he opened livid, glowing eyes to the room- sped away from him. Enveloping doorways, hallways, rooms and stairwells like a vast tidal wave of black ink.

The Dormitory levels were enveloped with this blackness within a matter of minutes and then quickly faded up, into the very fabric of the Tower. A held breath was broken as Sephiroth swooned heavily with his own energy release, a severe backlash of lethargy would see him disoriented for a while at least.

But it was worth it, he could feel it. This extension of himself around these floors of the Tower. 
It pulsed with promise.

It doesn't have to be all day. Just until the rash goes down? I'll go tell your sister too, so she can watch you.
miseris_socios: (wh-what?!)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-14 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I - I don't know. I don't want her to worry.

[But she'll know anyway with how she checks up on me... Even still, he doesn't want to make her panic or anything.]
puppy_lancer: (Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-14 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Don't you think she would worry more if she found you walking around sick? I know my brother would be if he caught me doing that.
miseris_socios: (not so innocent)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-14 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
I... I guess, but -

[I'm fine, really. It's not that bad...]

I'm...

[Why does he even care?]

I'm... what does it even matter? If I'm that sick then I'll die and I'll just come back...
puppy_lancer: <user name=hound-of-ulster> (The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-14 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He tsks his tongue.]

I'm your friend, remember? I'd rather not see you die if I can help it.
miseris_socios: (blankly)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-14 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Really?]

I don't... I don't know that you really know me... that you really understand me...

[A small part of his brain wonders if this is the start of that stereotypical teen angst.]
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (In a field by the river)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-14 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I don't understand you as well as your family does, but from what I know about you, you're a good guy. And I like hanging out with you, especially for sparring.

[He has to wonder where this sudden burst of teenage angst came from.]
miseris_socios: (grr...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-14 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hormones, clearly. Ken looks up again, and even through his haze of exhaustion he seems a bit more focused. He's tense, like he's going to spring either at Lancer or away from him.]
puppy_lancer: (Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-14 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Ken?

[Lancer also tenses up a little, since he doesn't know why Ken would be so tense.]
miseris_socios: (standing proud)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-14 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't... I don't get it. Why people care about me. They didn't for years, so why now?

[They're plotting something.]
puppy_lancer: (Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-14 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...I've only known you for a few months. Maybe you just...weren't meeting the right people before?
miseris_socios: (weapon of choice)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-15 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The only people who paid attention to me were the ones from the Kirijo Group who wanted to take me in. I didn't trust them. I don't really see why I should trust anyone.
puppy_lancer: (Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-15 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[He scratches his head.]

Well, I don't think the Kirijo group is here. And your family is. You trust your sister, don't you?
miseris_socios: (ugh...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[They shouldn't really trust each other, but yet...]

... yes.
puppy_lancer: (Indeed your dancing days are done)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Then come on. We can go find her.

[He offers Ken his hand.]
miseris_socios: (ugh...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head but does approach him.]
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (she placed her snow-white hand)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He pats Ken on the back.]

Let's go.
miseris_socios: (huh?)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He flinches, and follows along slowly. He's tired, and wants to just lie down.]
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (And kneel)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He walks alongside Ken, being just as slow. He has to debate whether or not to just scoop up the boy and run.]

So where does your sister usually spend her time?
miseris_socios: (blankly)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Kitchen... or aquarium...
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (with little snow-white feet)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
The aquarium is closer. Let's get there first.

[And he hopes Ken won't fall on the stairs.]

I could carry you if you don't feel like taking the stairs.
miseris_socios: (grr...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't need help.

[He's a little quick with that response, even if he looks a bit woozy.]
puppy_lancer: <user name=curtainfire> (One faithful harp shall praise thee)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
...If that's what you say.

[He looks at the boy warily.]
miseris_socios: (wh-what?!)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Even if he feels like he's about to throw up and why is the floor suddenly jolting and -]

[He stumbles, putting a hand to his forehead.]
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (there for me.)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lancer reaches to support him.]

Woah there. You sure you can walk?
