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 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.]

[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?
miseris_socios: (huh?)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[He flinches when he's touched.]

I... yeah. I think so...
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (where I am lying)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay...

[He's more doubtful than ever, but he'll let Ken walk a few more steps on his own.]
miseris_socios: (no!)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-16 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes a few more steps, and falls to his knees. Ground, stop moving.]

Ah!
puppy_lancer: <user name=aicons> (and whisper that you love me)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-16 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[That does it. He kneels down and tries to scoop Ken up into a bridal carry.]
miseris_socios: (blankly)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-17 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He tries to fuss, tries to pull away, but his stomach lurches to the side and he drops his head against Lancer's chest.]
puppy_lancer: (and now am full of tears)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-17 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Lancer walks quickly, but makes sure not to go too quickly in fear of making Ken dizzy. All the while, as he goes down the stairs, he tries to look for Chidori. Ken must be pretty sick if he can't even resist getting picked up.]

...what's wrong with him?

[Chidori comes around a corner, skirts held in her hands and lips pressing together in a thin line. Ken was one of the few people she monitored more or less constantly, but even as she approaches, Hecate is uneasy inside her mind.

The worry on her face is probably the most emotion anyone's seen from her in a long time.]


Ken-kun...?
puppy_lancer: <user name=cu-chulainn> (as the leaves grow on the tree)

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-17 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Lancer all but skids to a stop when he finally spots Chidori. He has to try hard so he won't fall over.]

I don't know! I think he's sick.
miseris_socios: (blankly)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-17 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine...

[He's clearly not fine. Even outside of the rash, the black blotches on his skin are definitely not normal.]
floreatnoctem: (Your aspirations to shreds)

[personal profile] floreatnoctem 2014-03-21 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You are not fine.

[Her hand goes to his forehead despite Hecate's misgivings, and with a small sound of effort the goddess appears hovering behind her, casting a healing spell in the faint hope of being able to remove the ailment.

The fact that she can't is... alarming.]


Lancer-san, what was he doing when you found him? Ken-kun... when did this start?

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2014-03-21 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He was stumbling around. Not sure where he wanted to get to. I saw him sick, so I decided to take him to find you.

[He leaves out the part where Ken seemed more paranoid than usual.]
miseris_socios: (wh-what?!)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2014-03-22 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno... yesterday, or something?

[It's hard to tell. But it's equally hard to hide the fact that he flinches back from her hand on his forehead. He's not sure why, but he just knows he doesn't really want to be touched right now. It's dangerous.]
