argentimperator | Mission 13 : [Video] Sunday morning-ish

[Theoretically, with Madara's power broken and he himself sealed, everyone should be back to normal. However, most of 'everyone' does not have an opportunistic alien virus lurking in the back of their minds waiting for a moment of weakness.

A moment of weakness like, say, most of a week spent with their free will suppressed.

So when the feed from Sephiroth's retrieved PCD blinks on, it's displaying a Sephiroth only one person here has seen before. A Sephiroth with a single black wing arching from his right shoulder, the sky as his backdrop, and a look of disdain and simmering malice on his face.]

Hmph. This place... Madara may be content to attempt to rule in Hell, but I am not. Mother is calling me. She wishes for my return. I will go to her...

[Sephiroth swings his sword several times, sending arcs of blue-white energy hurtling downward. While it doesn't show up on the feed, a luckily already derelict building in the city crumbles under the assault.]

If I must turn this worthless, soulless planet into rubble to do so.

Hino. [There's a hint of mockery to his tone as he says her name.] How do you feel? Is this vindicating?

[He won't be hard to find if she comes after him. Not for her. The faint taint of darkness that had always tinged Sephiroth's aura before had engulfed it now.]

You need to control yourself, Sephiroth.

[She isn't stupid enough to come find him -- not unless she has to.]

You're better than this.

I am in perfect control. [Protip: he's so not.

But it's good she is unlikely to come after him. Ulqui would not be amused.]

An interesting sentiment coming from you. But pointless. I am better than this foolish day to day mundanity I have been wasting my time on. This world is beneath me.

No one is beneath anyone in this city, idiot. You're going to get yourself killed if you keep this up.
