Part XXIV

[thunderedge]

Aerith: I'll plant the seeds in the meantime.
Persephone: I'll see what I can do.
Aki: (Zack must've been sneezing like crazy XD)
Izzy: (XDD)
Persephone: *glides off*
Izzy: (I dunno...I imagine her in this long flowy dress)
Aki: (same)
Izzy: (and not really walking, more like floating XD)
Aki: (yep, same XDD)
Aerith: *picks a flower and heads over to one of the floating soul thingies*
Aerith: *pokes it*
Aki: (she wants to give it a flower to brighten it's day :D)
Aki: (only 10 gil *shot*)
Izzy: (XD)
Izzy: (aww)
Aerith: *hands the soul a flower*
Aerith: ...hey. You're from home! From sector 6!
Izzy: (....is she really gonna fight Cerberus and the Hydra? XD)
Aki: (Yeah, she's got a plan XD)
Izzy: (w00t XD)
Aki: (her Hydra plan is funny, she's actually gonna fight Cerberus, though XD)
Izzy: (haha)
Izzy: (Go Aerith!)
Aki: (watch Cerberus still be pwned by the Gummi Ship XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Aerith: *smiles* *makes sure the soul doesn't drop it* there.
Aki: (...wait, Aerith should go see Elmyra when she gets back to Zack XD)
Aki: (I've neglected Elmyra DD: )
Izzy: (oh yeah...XD)
Izzy: (her poor mom)
Aki: (yeah)
Aerith: The only place I know where it is...is that swirly pool of death and souls..
Aerith: Here I come Zack's soul! *runs off and stops, turns back to the soul with the flower* Have a bright day! *runs off *
___________
Aerith: *Scans the creepy green water*
Izzy: (hah)
Izzy: (uuhhh...if Zack's "alive")
Izzy: (why would his soul still be there?)
Aki: (Hades' being tricky again)
Izzy: (>:O)
Izzy: (XD)
Aki: (Auron didn't have his soul, but was walking around, with emotions and making decisions. It's possible)
Izzy: (ah.)
Aki: (Zack's heart is what's making him live right now)
Izzy: (Like Nobodies, I guess)
Aki: (pretty much)
Izzy: (Zaccckkkk<333)
Izzy: (....now what? XD)
Aerith: not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul. *looks some more*
Aerith: not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul.
Izzy: (XD)
Izzy: (>.>)
Izzy: (I need to see the movie again...)
--A WHILE LATER--
Aerith: not Zack's soul.not Zack's soul.not Zack's s--AHA!
Aki: (The movie is amazing <333 XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Izzy: (Go Aerith!)
Aerith: It's pretty close to the surface, too...let's see..*reaches down a little*
Aki: (haha, thanks to the wars going on, the pool's flooded higher, so its near the edge. You don’t have to dive in, to reach the first layers of souls.)
Izzy: (hah)
Aki: (it's sad though ^^;; )
Izzy: (I just have this image of Aerith sticking her arm in and looking...determined)
Izzy: (with her tongue sticking out of the side of her mouth XD)
Aki: (pretty much it..)
Izzy: (like she's concentrating)
Aki: (XD)
Aerith: ....What the heck. Jeez Zack, you reallllly seem to like swirling lower..*moves over a little, to get a better reach*
Aerith: Don't make me jump in there!
Izzy: (>.>)
Aerith: *crosses arms and pouts* *follows the swirling, before leaning over again*
Aerith: *reaches forward, but slips in* ....*hangs onto the side*
Izzy: (D:)
Aki: (XD emoticon)
Izzy: (haha)
Aerith: *reaches out again* *holds her breath and dives under* /stupid swirly thing of death.../
Aki: (I nominate you as the Fates XD)
Izzy: (huuuh? XD)
Izzy: (I don't even....remember much...)
Izzy: (I'll try)
Izzy: (they say "dearie" a lot?)
Izzy: (>.>)
Aki: (they just look menacing, while cutting the string)
Aki: (yeah)
Fate #1: *makes a cackly old lady noise* Looky here it's one of those.
Izzy: (>.>)
Fate #2: just like a mortal, to be back for more...
Fate #3: I've got the string for this one. *holds it out*
Aerith: *finally reaches Zack's soul and grabs onto it*
Aerith: /now to get out.../
Fate #2: *brandishes her scissors and grins*
Fate #3: Go on, you may be the one to cut this time.
Fate #1: Poor, foolish little girl...
Aerith: /left kick, right kick, mermaid push...repeat../
Fate #2: Really too bad, I would have liked one of those flowers... *moves scissors closer*
Izzy: (....Aerith took swimming lessons from Sora? XD)
Aki: (apparently XD)
Aerith: *reaches out to grab the edge of the pool*
Fate #3: Quickly, quickly.
Fate #2: Don't nag! My bones are creaking.
Izzy: (>.> crotchety old ladies)
Aki: (XD)
Aerith: *grabs the edge and pulls herself and Zack's soul up*
Izzy: haha
Izzy: DENIED
Izzy: sorry
Aki: (XDD)
Fate #2: *clacks the scissors in an irritated way*
Fate #2: Young people are getting too clever nowadays!
Fate #3: Told you to hurry.
Fate #1: *grumbles*
Aerith: blehh. Grossness…
Aerith: anyway…
Aki: (XD)
Izzy: (you rock, Aerith)
Aki: (Only Aerith would be optimistic the entire time XD)
Aerith: Okay...soooo...
Aerith: Hmm...how to let Zack and the others know things are okay..
Aerith: ah!
Aerith: *unties the ribbon in her hair, and ties it onto Zack's soul's hair* It'll go with him...pretty sure…
Aki: (those souls have forms, which is convenient)
Izzy: (haha)
Izzy: (Zack with a pink ribbon XD)
Aki: (yep XD)
Aerith: Love you~ *lets his soul go, watches it float away and disappear*
Aki: (One task down, two to go)
Aki: (Zack should feel VERY alive now XD)
Zack: *coughs*
Sora: You okay?
Sora: ...Nice hairdo…
Zack: Apparently so...*reaches up*
Zack: *takes the ribbon and looks at it*
Cloud: That's...
Tifa: Aerith's ribbon...
Sora: If she's playing makeover with Zack...she must be fine. Back to finding good possibilities for Aerith's dress.
Cloud: ....
Zack: *grins a little*
Tifa: ...thank goodness...
Fenrir: *managed to wedge herself in Cloud's armour again*
Fenrir: *wiggle*
Cloud: Stop that.
Cloud: It's distracting...
Zack: I think she might have found a new parent...
Cloud: What?
Cloud: you're kidding. I can't take care of her.
Tifa: Well, it would be a good learning experience.
Fenrir: wark. *wiggle*
Tifa: Anyway, the dress...
Sora: She'd want flowers, maybe.
Tifa: What color, do you think?
Tifa: Red is too dramatic...
Leon: She always was one for pastelly colours. *offers while making a sandwhich*
Fenrir: *wiggles in Cloud's armour still* wark. :D
Cloud: ....
Fenrir: *slips out and falls to the ground*
Fenrir: Wark…
Zack: Careful there.
Fenrir: *climbs under Cloud's pants, climbs to his knee, and clings there, claws digging into the fabric* wark.
Sora: What kinda cake? Riku, Kadaj and I'll make it...
Zack: Hmmm...
Izzy: (teh, wedding plans)
Izzy: (I'm very amused)
Aki: (XD)
Hades: *licks his finger and turns a page of his book* D, E, F...AHA. G.
Hades: George Kilis checks in right about....now. *checks off the name as said soul comes into the Underworld*
Aki: (Hades is seriously bored XD)
Izzy: (haha, I was like, "...this is what he does in his free time?")
Aki: (haha)
Persephone: *drifts up* dear...
Hades: Hmm?
Hades: *checks off a few more names as they float in*
Persephone: You seem rather stressed lately...and you know, I worry about what it does to your complexion...
Izzy: (.....)
Izzy: (she's writing herself, what can I say)
Aki: (now you know how I feel when Sora takes over XD)
Izzy: (XDD)
Izzy: (I'm probably gonna go read my old Greek Myths book tonight)
Hades: It's all these dead people from wars. Generally I wouldn't mind all of this, but,.. I've got a certain Soldier to track. Besides, I got one of three Soldiers right now. Cloud won’t come, so technically I'm waiting for Zippity-Zack's girl to slip up and get him sent back here. Sephiroth seems a bit lonely in the Underdrome.
Hades: I really should take a breather. I've been ranting a lot. Gotta keep my cool. I'm going to go on a walk. Put the book away for me, please? *hands her the book* *poofs*
Persephone: ....
Aerith: *sitting by the flowers taking a breather, considering the underworld is zapping her strength*
Persephone: *dissapears in a wisp of grey smoke to check the flowers, still holding the book*
Izzy: (she has her own way of poofing. XD)
Izzy: (it's less showy.)
Aki: (haha <33)
Persephone: *appears before Aerith*
Persephone: How goes your trials?
Aerith: Finished one.
Izzy: (it's refreshing to have someone who talks formally that ISN'T Sephiroth XD)
Aerith: One of three finally done. I'm just a bit tired.
Aerith: But, I'm not resting until I finish them all.
Persephone: Your will shows the strength of your heart...
Persephone: Allow me to aid you.
Persephone: My husband has left his Book in my care for the time being.
Aerith: Thank you. I know that only the new entries are alphabetized...but Zack's been here for a while...Thanks so much for your help Persephone. :D
Persephone: Think nothing of it.
Persephone: Your flowers have helped me through the long months away from home.
Aerith: I'm glad.
Aerith: Here, you can have these. It's a gift for you, as a friend. *Hands her some packets of flower seeds*
Persephone: *takes them and bows slightly and graciously*
Persephone: I will return for the book and put it away as soon as you are finished.
Aerith: Thank you. *opens it, and starts going through it*
Aki: (She'll have the patience. C'mon...she dealt with Cloud XD)
Izzy: (haha true)
Persephone: *disappears in grey smoke*
Aerith: *goes through it*
Hades: ....Now that I'm calm, I should continue with my job. The job I wish I didn't have. The job I DONT DESERVE! STUPID ZEUS. "My word is law, for I am the King of the Gods" *holds up hand in a mock imitation*
Hades: WHERE IS MY BOOK. UGH. I LOST IT. DAMMIT. *goes to look for it*
Aki: (He's not blaming Perseph XD)
Aki: (which is...good )
Izzy: (I noticed XD)
Izzy: (She'd probably like...tell him she put it back.)
Izzy: (and he'd believe her because she never lied to him before XD)
Aki: (true XD)
Hades: Where is my box? I want my box!
Hades: My box, that contains my book. *goes to look for it*
Izzy: (boxxxx XD)
Aki: (it's a cardboard box, with "FRAGILE" on it in sharpie. Have you seen it? XD)
Izzy: (haha, maybe...)
Izzy: (covered with dust in my basement...)
Aki: (Hades: HA. I KNEW YOU TOOK IT. )
Izzy: (>.>)
Aerith: *hears him coming down the corridor*
Aerith: Uhhh...
Aerith: *sits on it, covers it with her long skirt and makes an exhausted expression*
Hades: Any luck with the tasks, Pinky? *stops and looks at her*
Aerith: I just got out of the swirling pool of death, decay , souls and slime. I'm a bit tired DX *feign feign*
Hades: Ah, have you seen my book? I know you've been looking for it too.
Aerith: I saw a FRAGILE box back there. That's all I saw, really, other than...rock walls, rock walls, dead people, some gardens and...oh yeah. Dead people.
Izzy: (.......poetic.)
