Yeah, and plus then there's Shinra to deal with....
[ oh also surprise! they're in the void. time for a memeshare. obviously geto does not see sonon having flashbacks of his dead sister but you have to endure it ]
[ there's some context he will understand, too -- that sonon and yuffie were there on a mission to get the ultimate materia shinra was working on. that this materia doesn't exist, because shinra has decided to massacre their own people by dropping the plate of sector 7 in midgar right into the slums. sonon and yuffie were racing to warn people to help them escape before all this happened --- and at the end, after watching sonon die, yuffie arrives just in time to see thousands of people die in flames. too late to save anyone ]
[ Geto's no stranger to being dying or getting hurt in front of him, but there never seems to be any guarding against it. It's painful every time.
He grits his teeth against the sight of flames, fists tight at his side and where he normally carries with him a rather tepid demeanour, his voice sounds angry now. ]
[ yeah, yuffie's fists are clenched tightly at her side as this plays out. she doesn't cry or scream like she does in the memory, but, man!! man!!! her voice is hoarse and thick with rage ]
Because they're a bunch of bastards. There was a group fighting against them, AVALANCHE.... they did this to their own people so they could blame this group.
Yeah, it did. They blame my country too. The people don't know any better. They're bombarded with propaganda from those assholes constantly. That group, AVALANCHE? Cloud was part of it. They were just trying to save the planet from Shinra. I heard they were trying to evacuate the slums while this was happening, too.
[ there's nothing in this void to attack, so she will settle for dramatique fistclenching ]
But they're gonna get what's coming to them. Once we've dealt with Sephiroth.
He came from them. They experiment on people too, you know that? [ another dramatique fistclench ] He was one, and one of their super soldiers. But he went rogue, and now he's literally trying to destroy the whole planet. And other worlds, if I'm understanding his evil psycho plan correctly.
[ watch out jjk....... sephiroth might be coming for you ]
We did! But the asshole keeps coming back. He's--- I don't know. Connected to the planet somehow. And this ultra powerful alien thing called Jenova, calls her "Mother". Pieces of her are like--- all over the place. They can merge with Shinra's experiments to create new monsters. He's got other powers and materia too. It's seriously so screwed up, Geto.
... A partner from my home. Kind of ... the only partner I've ever had.
[ they actually knew each other a total of like 1 day at the most im crying. but they vibed and she gets attached quick. looks at the tutorials who shall not be named ]
[ She should be allowed to be a kid... BUT YEAH. Shadows back, baby.
The shadows wrap around Yuffie, and she'll find herself in the safest place in Tokyo. Across from her is Riko, whom you're escorting so that she can fulfill her destiny and die in the process.
Sorcerers exist to protect non-sorcerers. That is the mantra that you live by, and that is what carries you through all your missions. The steady maintenance of Tengen-sama is critical to the stability of Japan.
But Satoru had said no unwilling sacrifices, and despite your morality and big talk, you always put your family first. And now, that includes Riko. You've only known her for a scant couple of days, but you've both decided that you won't be her executioners. You'll find another way, because you're the strongest, and you always do.
[ speaking of suffering, the void is back, baby. before she can respond. and with it comes another memory -- she clues in pretty quickly that this is the girl he told her about before. she doesn't get the context behind this, but the unwilling sacrifice thing rubs her so insanely wrong she's already clenching her fists at her side as the memory starts out. she knows how it ends, but she grits her teeth as it plays out before her eyes ]
[ should have tried having peripheral vision, geto!! loser. she tenses further at "sacrifices are necessary" but doesn't refute it. but it's clear that it just sits wrong ]
The girl you you told me about, right?
[ quietly. they'd only just met, like her and sonon. ] Did you ever find the asshole who did that?

So, you know. Gotta prioritize for now.
no subject
You outnumber him, don't you? Is he that hard to kill?
no subject
no subject
So he's basically... immortal as long as the planet exists? Damn.
Are you doing research to figure out his weakness?
no subject
No, there has to be a way to kill him for good. Right now we're trying to keep this ultra super powerful materia out of his hands.
no subject
And that Sonon... How did you know him?
