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.

[It is more than a little disconcerting, to know so much about these people he didn't know at all before. It's worse that there is that moment of reacting to them as family before he remembers that he doesn't have one.]

Here. [x,y]

[It takes him a while. Mostly because he had to finish packing his stuff and take it from the clinic back to his house. Home. It seemed like such a forgien concept now. That's what hurt the most. What knowing that for a week he had had a home, a place to go and just be. He had a family at home, and when he went back they would still be there. But Destiny Islands didn't really seem like home in his mind.

And for a week, this had. It was difficult, but he would get over it.

Which might have been the reason he didn't summon his keyblade the moment he ventured into the waste and found the location the coordiantes he had been sent led him too. He simply stood there, waiting for Sephiroth to notice him, arms crossed over his chest.]

Good thing I didn't piss you off last week. [Although he had gotten whomped on the head quite a few times.]

[No Way to Dawn and that wasn't a position that lent itself well to Riku's various special abilities, either. So Sephiroth left his sword down and held almost loosely. Probably just as well; he'd been through several fights more strenuous than he could easily find back where he came from. Even Sephiroth could tire. He dropped lightly from a large chunk of rubble to the ground.]

Hmph. You know perfectly well I wouldn't have hurt you even if you had.

Tell that to the back of my head. [He totally blames you for it being sore, just so you know.

Moving towards a rather large piece of rubble, he kicked it lightly, testing how stable it was before lifting himself onto it, sitting on the edge easily.]

Your head is harder than most of these buildings. [Very much something he might have said during the week, edge of scoffing teasing and all. He tells himself he needs to stop that even as he finds a reasonably stable vertical chunk near Riku to lean against.]

[He's just gonna snort at that, before leaning over and rapping his fist against Sephiroth's own head a half dozen times.]

And your's is completely hollow.

[You'll never manage it around Riku, Seph, so don't even try.]

[Sephiroth sheathes his sword before lifting a hand to shove Riku's fist away. Knock it off, brat.]

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. [Smirking a little, yes, because Sephiroth is a total troll if he likes you and he hasn't managed to pry out that lingering 'little brother' sentiment yet. ...If he ever does with Riku encouraging it like this.]

[Never.]

You're the one who ate all that oatmeal.

[And how you did it he will never know, because seriously, that stuff was disgusting. Also? You're never getting rid of him, so get used to it. He needs a good mentor around to show him that, you know, darkness isn't as great as it appears to be in the pamplets.]

I've eaten worse, believe it or not.

[Iron self-discipline, he has it. And he supposes he can live with keeping Riku around. If he has to.]

[Eyebrow raise.]

Unless you're planning in roasting up that worm, I think you're lying.

I once ate the food in the regular army's cafeteria on a dare. ...I wouldn't be all that surprised if it had something like that worm in it.

[Sephiroth had gotten Genesis back for the damn dare, too. Threefold.]
