Log 030 | Tower of Jenova Phase #1
Characters: [OPEN TO ALL] Sephiroth via Tower of Jenova Phase #1
Setting: 10-22nd March, Starting in the Dormitory Levels, spreading around the Tower via those Infected
Format: Prose and/or Action, Mingle-style. Please put date and/or relevant locations in the subjects!
Summary: Sephiroth releases his will and manages to envelop the Dormitory Levels of the Tower, Side effects commence shortly after in certain individuals. Meanwhile, he begins to siphon energy into his very core. Feel free to use this post for plotting.
Warnings: Sickness, mutations, copious amounts of Geostigmatic black goop and generally bad feels including but not limited to homicide, suicide, hallucinations. Eventually.
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.

The 16th, floor 11
Or friends. It was still so confusing. She was furious at the thought that her friends didn't like her at all, that they only tolerated her and hated her in secret. But it couldn't be true... could it?
Of course, she sees Yukiko near the pool. A sense of dread washes over her and she nearly turns and walks out, but some small part of her makes her stay. She has to be sure.]
...Y-yukkiko-san?
no subject
You should really look at the view from out here, Veronica-chan. It's so pretty...
[Yukiko takes a seat close to the edge of the water, looking up at the ceiling. There's a rainbow above just then. It actually is pretty, as dangerous as it is to be out there.]
no subject
After a moment, Veronica forced her legs to comply and walked over, taking a seat not too close to the woman.]
It... Y-yeah, it's n-nice I g-guess.
no subject
Yukiko forces herself to take a deep breath, try and move past the way the words are twisting in her ears.
"I've been up here a few times, but I never really noticed the rainbows and things before. Hard to believe they were there the entire time..."
She leans back on her hands a little, managing a smile, but something's off about it. It's hollower than her smiles usually are.
no subject
"I d-don't c-come here m-much. I don't k-know h-how to swim." She said glumly, wringing her hands nervously.
no subject
"I don't usually, either. I know it's stupid, and I'm dumb for it, but I wanted to see the flowers and the rainbows that I like," she continues, kicking her feet a bit. It's enough to dislodge a stray pebble and send it flying off the edge of the Tower, but Yukiko doesn't pay it any mind.
no subject
"Stupid...?" She frowns. Was she making fun of her or something? "Uh, t-the r-rainbows a-are nice... a-and all. And I-I didn't c-call you stupid."
no subject
She almost doubles over at the sudden pull on her spirit, the one that twists things around again. It's a long few moments before she can speak.
"I - you wouldn't be wrong if you did."
no subject
Veronica pauses and her voice drifts away as her own mood returns to it's original, paranoid way. Slowly, she scoots away from Yukiko, almost afraid.
"W-what's... g-going on...?"
no subject
This situation is anything but normal. Rather than leaving, she shifts position, sitting up with her legs up and leaning her head against them.
"I don't know. I don't..."
