Log 031 | Tower of Jenova Phase #2 & Finale
Characters: Sephiroth, and those that might try to stop/interact with him. Also Open Mingle for reaction purposes. (Tower of Jenova Phase #2)
Setting: Commencing mid-morning 23rd March. Locations: Dormitory 02-06, then on route to Floor 23 post-Killswitch
Format: Prose/Action as necessary
Summary: Sephiroth's power level reaches a tipping point. He retires to his Dormitory for channeling more of his energy than he has yet thought to attempt. Using Reunion as a tool he flips a Killswitch in all those Tainted and instantly sucks all of the energy accumulated from the Deaths, and the Tower itself, together in one go. Causing a complete failure of the Tower's power; all Glamour and Power systems drop.
The result - finally he manages to break his cage.
There is only one thing left to do, find an exit from the Tower (Closed NPC Prompt).
Warnings: All the warnings including but not limited to: OP-Sephiroth, out-of-body experiences, glamour breaks, mutations, body horror and character death.
Prompts as in below:
-Mid-Morning 23rd March - Dormitory 02-06/Hallways [Open]
-Post-Killswitch Reactionary Mingle [Open]

Mid-Morning 23rd March - Dormitory 02-06/Hallways [Open]
Sephiroth hadn't slept all night on account of the pulsating energy surging through every single molecule of his nanofilm-and-wire being, with the cumulative power he was feeling he simply wasn't able to be tired any more. He could tell more acutely than ever that none of the physical attributes granted to him were real, and that in itself a constant reminder that his time being contained here was overdue. Despite the powerful, ecstatic feeling of having leeched so much from the Tower Sephiroth knew that if he did not make his break for freedom soon with it, then while he might be able to bend his cage from the inside and perhaps even break it - but leaks could leave sharp edges he might get caught on.
He needed a absolutely clean break, and it had to be today.
He retired to his Dormitory and, pleased that it was empty, closed the door behind him. Within a few moments Sephiroth had sat in the middle of the room, cross-legged and, having taken perhaps one of his last-ever steadying breaths; slipped his consciousness further and further inwards into his own soul. He looked first for a power he had practiced, and the shining blue light of his shield lit up as an outline first around his body. This would protect him from attack, but it needed to be on a bigger scale - Sephiroth would need to let go of all of his grips within his Glamoured body and effectively die to be released. Interference was not an option.
Grasping at some of the power he had already stored, too easily Sephiroth willed this blue bubble outwards - spreading outwards from his frame and enveloping the entire Dormitory room. Anyone who would try to enter the room would open the door but then be met by an translucent gleaming blue telekinetic wall. Monsters also, drawn from the Tower that Sephiroth had managed to influence, began to frequent the Hallways.
Meanwhile, Sephiroth was then in a position to begin to let go. His consciousness dived eagerly inwards, glutting itself on the power that was already accumulated and knowing full well that there were others still - out there in the Tower that held onto power that was rightfully his. His influence still wound tightly around the Dormitory levels and carefully Sephiroth began to open his great consciousness to it. A few hours later, and there was now only one thought on his mind, one great final instinct that was pressing itself to the foreground as his channeling continued.
Reunion.
The urge needed only a single thought then thrust it's way forwards, and there was no going back.
Every fiber of Sephiroth's power ignited and his will rushed forth through all of the invisible tendrils he had expanded within the Tower - ripping it's way like wildfire at all of the power he could claim and returning all of it right to him.
Everything in the whole Tower then went black.
Post-Killswitch Reactionary Mingle [Open]
Please content warn your threads accordingly.]
Sephiroth post-Killswitch, on route to Floor 23 [Open]
For a few moments, Sephiroth's cross-legged, levitating frame seems almost untouched. It then jolts violently, the blue force-field vanishes in a blink and Sephiroth's wire frame crashes to the floor.
Beneath him.
He is, for a few moments a brilliantly shining orb of purple, floating in the air above the crumpled frame below him. Alone in the Darkness. Before the orb expands as he finds out how to express his own appearance outwardly from his soul.
Everything else, everyone else, is wire frames and nanofilm, but Sephiroth is a complete, translucent impression of himself; fully equipped with clothing and armor, with his right-sided wing curled in at his shoulder. Free from Glamour, entirely constructed semi-corporeally as if he were mostly a ghost, yet still capable of physical interaction - purely from his stolen power, he is tinted violet as his collar fluid was.
He spends a moment surveying the Dormitory, latches eyes on the supervisory unit that had been lingering outside of the door for most of this time he'd spent channeling - but then the unit simply leaves. Sephiroth smiles to himself as Masamune is summoned naturally, from within his own essence and he heads out for the last time into the de-Glamoured corridors of Tower.
He can hear the rumbling of the weather, still going on regardless. That must be really going on outside and it was time now for him to get out there into the World itself.
He knows the route too well, and can be encountered anywhere between his Dormitory and Floor 23 where he hopes to make his escape from the residential floors for good.]
Floor 23 and Onwards [Closed: NPC Thread]
He approaches, in his spirit-made-to-look like himself form, one of the elevators that he finds. It makes too much sense that this floor, usually hidden to all under most circumstances, has to hold the route to his way out.
Pressing the what-has-to-be call button with a ghostly hand, he will board the first carriage that arrives.]
no subject
The elevator closes once Sephiroth walks in--and then the whole thing shivers and pulses, once--and Zo is there.
Even without glamour, he looks much the same, except for being spectral: he looks rather like the ghost of a child. He appears behind Sephiroth, as if blocking the closed door.]
What are you doing?
no subject
When the closed elevator shivers Sephiroth looks around in the red light, acutely aware that the carriage is containing him completely at this point. He needs to find some button to press on the inside, for sure.
The violet-shaded ghost spins, with a flash of power at it's core as Zo is suddenly there, behind him.]
I'm leaving. You can't keep me here anymore.
[His voice is more whispery than he's used to but what to be expected by being only a spirit. Sephiroth observes that Zo has a somewhat similar form but doesn't seem surprised. He's looking for the required button or panel to press.]
no subject
Zo, meanwhile, stares up at Sephiroth with a childish sort of anger.]
Where do you think you'll go?
no subject
He glances down then at Zo and twitches something of a smirk at the childish anger.]
That's only for me to know.
no subject
You can't leave. You'd die.
no subject
I'm already dead. You are preventing the next stage for me; I've delayed long enough.
[He makes to press the button again, and if that fails his glare down at Zo intensifies as anger ignites. Sephiroth will move to step around Zo so that he can get to the doors to try and prize them open.]
Let me go. Now.
no subject
You hurt them.
no subject
[He really doesn't have much of a thread of consideration for the other residents. They don't understand him and moreover as proved now, he is far elevated from them.
He tries a few more times, channeling some of that energy he's stolen into giving him the strength to pry the doors open. Failing that he peers down and around the side of his not-quite corporeal self at the little ghost-boy.]
They served their purpose.
no subject
They're not yours to play with!
[As Zo shouts, the barrier ripples angrily.]
no subject
He notices the rippling of the barrier while taking in the fact that he's never seen Zo angry before. It spikes at Sephiroth's own anger and the energy closest to his core shudders in response.]
Get over it. I did what I needed to do.
[His voice is cold in tone despite the anger rising inside.]
I'm bored of this game now. Last chance, drop the barrier.
[From within his violet-tinged form, his sword is summoned to his hand. It's great length extends along the back of his arm on the opposite side to his violet-tinged wing - the tip extending back over his head.
He hopes that Zo cooperates now, or he'll have to directly attack that barrier despite not knowing what it will do.]
no subject
You don't get to make demands.
no subject
The energy closest to his core shines up brighter as Sephiroth prepares to defend himself.]

The energy near crackles in the atmosphere between them]

no subject
Not now. Not after coming so far-]
no subject
It is only through Zo's own power of will that Sephiroth's very essence doesn't shatter into a million irreparable pieces. Of course, Sephiroth's sense of awareness is left in his body while Zo leaves with his self, left in unimaginable pain for several minutes until he finally falls unconscious and dies.]
