The Bay

[ Those who are around the bay can see a woman waking up dressed in a this with a sword on her back as well as a shield hanging on her arm. She sits up and rubs at her head, groaning lightly. The last thing she remembered was approaching the Temple of the Goddess with her chocobo and then she was taken here. Where was here? And why does she feel an overwhelming sense of dread here?

She notices the necklace on her as well as the pamphlet, briefly skimming both of them over. Okay, so this wasn't Nova Chrysalis, but Genessia. Okay, then. She rubs at her ear where the communicator rests, pushing a button into it. She wonders if it's worth it to do it, but maybe Hope was here or on the Ark. She just had to try. ]

...Hope? You there?

[ Nothing but static. Of course. Lightning should expect this by now. She's now alone, but that doesn't mean she's going to cry about it. She just has to play by this world's rules and then she'll be sent home to where she can complete her mission. She gets up to her feet, dusting herself up before looking around. She'll pick a random direction before walking in it. Hopefully she'll run into someone she knows soon enough. ]

Genessia City

[ When Lightning happens upon the city, she gives a cursory glance around the crowd to see if she'll find someone she knows. She doesn't notice anyone familiar, so that makes this a little bit harder. Still, she continues on and wonders if she's going to need to harvest Eradia here too. Bhunivelze would be that cruel, wouldn't he? So, occasionally, she'll be searching for people if they look like they need some help.

Perhaps you're in need of help. Perhaps you notice her or want to greet her if you didn't get to meet her by the bay. ]

[Fai had been thankfully out and about recently, checking various places on where to set up business and where to buy various things he might need in order to start said business. When he stops for a moment he notices someone he hasn't sen around before.]

You must be new? [Said with his most put on smile and hands at his side, the pad and pen he had now sitting by the side.]

Maybe I should formally welcome you, here. My name is Fai.

[ Lightning glances curiously at Fai for a brief moment, seemingly attesting him for a brief moment before she gives him a nod. ]

Is it that obvious? [ She doesn't say this with derision. In fact, she's rather calm, albeit the small tease. ]

Lightning. It's nice to meet you, Fai. What can you tell me about this place?

A little bit, yes.

[He pauses for a moment, he only knew so much after all, he had only been here for at least a month, but he was quick on picking up things.]

I can tell you currently are in a place called Genessia City. There are four other cities surrounding this one and the only way to get to them is by stepping through an archway, which I've heard can be done with the necklaces we get when we first arrive. I can't say much about the cities past them as I have yet to really explore them, but I am aware of what they are called at least.

[Yuna sighed slightly. Sometimes getting a job was not easy, even the people didn't always have jobs for her to do or she could help them with, but never the less she kept trying. But today she felt like taking a little walk instead around the Bay, just to see if there was anyone new around that morning.

When she spotted someone who she figured was new simply because of where they were currently she made her way over.]

Are you looking for someone?

[ Lightning was just gathering her bearings after waking up in a place like this. She already checked to see if she could still communicate with Hope, but found that to be of no avail. ]

You could say that. Have you seen a white-haired boy around about this high? [ She gestures with her hand to mark Hope's height. ]

[She put a finger against her cheek as she paused to think about it. She couldn't say that she could recall anyone fitting that description, but she couldn't also say that they might not be here.]

Well, I personally haven't heard of anyone that fits that's description, but I haven't really met everyone who gets pulled to this place either, so I can't say he isn't here either.

[With everything that had been going on, Kefka had been busy, but not so busy as to pick up on a familiar aura. Upon jetting over to the Bay, he saw a face he'd hadn't seen in what seemed like an eternity.]

My my, if it isn't the little toy soldier. Funny that you'd be here~

[OOC: Lemme know if you're not comfortable with Kefka remembering her from Dissidia and I'll rework it. :D]

[ Lightning turned her attention on to Kefka, staring at him for a moment or two. She feels uneasy about him, but she's not going to let it show. ]

Have we met?

( OOC: I'm cool with it! Makes for some interesting CR. :3 )

Oh, have we ever met.

[He makes a show of sniffing the air around them, and grimacing.]

Ugh, you still have that goddesses' stink about you. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you don't remember the Eternal Cycle of Conflict. That would make things too easy, I suppose.

It's...a little disorienting, isn't it?

[ At least it was for her. She's not sure if others cope better than she--she's sure they do, really--but she knows being friendly is far more worth it than not. She keeps her distance, though. The woman gives off an aura of strength and power, and she's not sure what to make of her just yet. ]

You can say that again.

[ Lightning has been pulled in so many different directions, but it's become the norm for her as of late. She does appreciate the friendliness, believe her. It's nice to see around here. She also doesn't blame her for keeping her distance. In Lightning's books, that's smart. ]

I take it you can tell me about your time here and what I have to watch out for, though.

[ Naminé's nothing if not friendly--she likes helping people, even if it's from a distance, and she's happy the woman doesn't comment on it. She can tell the woman carries a lot of power within herself, and...

Well, she feels a little tug of jealousy. All these people here, the ones she's met...they all seem so sure of themselves. Still, she gives her a tentative little smile. ]

Mm...I can try. I don't know nearly as much as the others, but...I do know that there are several sub-cities. You can get a job and a place to stay. If you're hungry, there are a lot of places to eat.

[ She stops and flushes a bit. Right. Introductions. Maybe Lightning can tell she isn't used to them--or meeting new people, for that matter. ]

Oh...my name is Naminé.

[ Honestly, Vanille had completely accepted not seeing anyone she knew again. A part of her actually hoped they'd not join her--who knew how dangerous this place was? If it was dangerous, then the one person who actually really deserved to be here...was Vanille.

Her chest ached a little at that thought. But if it were unsafe, at least her friends, the people she loved, would be okay. Right?

So imagine Vanille's surprise when she sees Lightning. Her eyes light up, and she rushes over, a bright smile spreading over her face. They had never been terribly close, but Vanille still cared for her. Of course she did! They had been through hell and back together. And Vanille could never forget how Lightning had helped her. ]

Lightning!

[ While Lightning was walking, she was scanning the city to see if there were any Chaos infusions around. She hoped there wouldn't be, but if there were, then it was back to the grind.

She stopped in her tracks when she felt someone familiar around, and sure enough, she can see that bright orange hair and that smile. Vanille... At the very least, she's thankful that someone she knew and fought alongside with was here. But, she also doesn't really trust this place. It puts a mixed feeling within her. ]

Vanille. Are you well?

[ Did she remember her time in Luxerion, Lightning wonders briefly. There's a few questions she wanted to ask, but what if she was from a different time? ]

[ Lightning's not the only one with mixed feelings. If Lightning's here, anyone else could be. She is the Savior--or she was--so if this world wanted and could take her, then it could take anyone else. It makes her happy...and anxious at the same time.

But she's happy, anyway, that there's another friendly face, one she knows is friendly for certain. ]

I'm alright. Getting something to eat really does wonders, y'know?

[ There's an air of apprehension around her, and she shuffles a bit, kicking at the ground briefly. She does remember Luxerion, the Soul Song, and afterward. She'd thought she'd be going to the New World, but her gut tells her this isn't it. ]

You alright? This place...it's a little...overwhelming, huh? Confusing. Though you never did get confused so easily!

[It's been one of those situations where Caius doesn't make his presence known immediately but instead uses it to watch. After the fall of their world, that's all he can do.

He stands on a nearby building and looks down from his perch. With the ability to travel anywhere, with no need to rely on anyone, he's free. He has the sneaking suspicion that he's trapped somewhere else once again but at least he doesn't feel those nagging gods picking at the back of his head or hear the screaming souls through the Chaos.

He takes a seat on the edge of the building and smirks.]

Are you lost?

[He's honestly no better off. The advantage he has is that he simply doesn't care and he's beyond the normal boundaries of necessity. He's much more than human but that doesn't stop him from engaging in conversation with an old rival.]

[ Interestingly enough, so was Lightning. It came with the job of being a savior. One was given a rather nice amount of power to do God's work. Still, she can't forget Caius and the rivalry they shared all those years ago. Her hand doesn't move to her weapon just yet. Her gaze moved up at Caius as she regards him with not much but a stare. ]

I don't suppose you'll be willing to guide me around here, right?

[He seems a little more amused than irritated but the scoff is telling that he's not here to play the role of tour guide. He barely knows the place himself.]

No.

[He vanishes from view in the black miasma to reappear the same way near Lightning's line of sight. His sword isn't present which also is telling that he's not there to fight.]

There is no guide to see you through this place of flux and ambiguity. I cannot prepare you for what lies ahead. The roads are at an impasse, unable to guide you, unable to show you the way. Only you can decide.

However, I am not without mercy. You are still human.

[He points down one of the roads that leads out of Genessia toward another town.]

Your path is not so easily seen.
