Mission 3 : [Video]

[argentimperator]

[The PCD is not picking up Sephiroth very well because he's holding it in one hand and moving a lot, but there are flashes of leather, silver hair, and steel. Mostly, what the PCD is picking up is the absolute devastation around him. Sephiroth is out in one of the more urban areas of the Wastelands, and he is destroying it. The mangled corpse of a horned worm is briefly visible as Sephiroth leaps into the air.

There's a quick series of slashes, visible as flickering steel in the feed, but more revealed by the arcs of blue-white light that result, cutting through a building and sending it crashing apart in pieces.]

This is unsatisfactory. Is there anyone willing to spar with me? In the interest of full disclosure, I am capable as both swordsman and magic user, and I am not in the best of moods.

Where? *He may not need coordinates to find Sephiroth, but he's not quite ready to reveal his tracking abilities to him just yet.*

Sephiroth! Are you alright?

[Hino's significant other saw fit to send out a warning about the man, but in the end, the only actual warning was not to tell the man where he was living. And Cloud probably wouldn't even remember the warning in his current state.

With Ulquiorra offering and event memories of Sephiroth still blindingly clear in his mind, logic seems impossible to grasp.]

Where.

Sephiroth-san ?

I am angry, but I will cope. [Angry, agonized over the loss of a family he never had, miserable because for a brief time, he was happy, and it was all a lie.]

I don't know if I'm really a match for you, but I could come to see you if you want.

[She wants to do something. And the truth is, she's always been stronger than she believes.]

Toush- [Sephiroth didn't even know this person before the event, and now he does, knows what he's like, what he's capable of. And because he didn't know him before, it's all based around 'little brother'. But he's not.] Hitsugaya.

[x,y] Here.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

M- [His expression barely twitches but it hurts to see her, because she's not his mother. Sephiroth's mother is dead, and he never knew her.] Unohana-san. Is there something I can do for you?

[bunny_flower]

May I volunteer ?

[It's been a while since she's done any strenuous exercise like this herself.]

[ff_red_turk]

Where ?

I have yet to find someone who is. [Though that's gonna change soon...] I know how to hold back.

Are you sure you want to come out here, Usagi?

I don't want to leave it alone if you're upset.

[livingwashersin.livejournal.com]

[She isn't saying anything. Well, for now she isn't. Instead Teial settles with watching the video feed, her expression showing worry.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[....why? Why do you do this to him, Unohana?] ...If you wish. [x,y]

[As long as he treats this one like an actual spar and not a way to vent his feelings, he should be able to handle it.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[x,y]

[bunny_flower]

[Because she wants you to have a way to vent your feelings, Seph. Besides, given her speed, you probably couldn't touch her unless she lets you, y'know ?]

I shall be there.

[And she'll ... materialize out of thin air less than a few seconds later. At elast that's what it looks like, although Sephiroth might be bale to tell that she just moved extra fast and did not actually teleport.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[He knows you're there watching, not-little-sister. He won't say anything until she does, though. It's good that he's out in the Wastes, because he doesn't think she needs to be exposed to the maelstrom of Bad Things that make up his emotional state right now.]

[He doesn't even bother to correct the man, still so used to being referred to in that way. Give him a few hours and he'll harass anyone who even thinks of calling him by his given name.]

I'll be there.

Sometimes people would rather have it left alone, Usagi.

[x,y] What you do is your decision, however. You're not a child, after all.

[livingwashersin.livejournal.com]

[After another minute of silence she finally speaks up, although her voice is soft-spoken.] ...Sephiroth?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I want to come. If it's alright with you.

[The feed jars as she starts to walk.]

[Sephiroth doesn't see the need for a verbal response to that, so there isn't one. When Hitsugaya arrives, it will be to an awful lot of rubble and some dead monsters where there used to be buildings and, well, living monsters. And Sephiroth, in the middle of it all, with the sun gleaming off his sword.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, but... but... Mom. Not-mom, really, but Sephiroth is still very tangled up about the whole issue. The thought of attacking Unohana feels wrong.]

Unohana-san. [He can tell, mostly because his own speed and senses are tanked through the roof by his world's standards. He can just barely catch the edge of the movement. Sephiroth lifts his sword briefly in greeting and tries to look less affected by her presence than he is.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Yes, Teial? [He does his best to make his voice gentle with her. None of this is her fault and she's a sweet child.]
