purple haze all in my brain

Who: errybody
When: Sunset, day 108
Where: Building D, 4th floor
What: Hashing shit out

[Maybe you heard about it through the grapevine today, or maybe you saw one of the many fliers lying around, reading:

Open Forum
This evening at Sunset
Auditorium on the 4th floor

Topics of discussion will include:
1. Should we move
2. If so, when and where
3. The lizagons, friend and foe
(in particular, under what terms
do we intend to live together, if
we are going to do so)
4. General future goals

Air your concerns and grievances here
Gods are invited, but NO WHINING ALLOWED

Maybe, if you aren't normally the sort to come to meetings, your apartment has been mysteriously broken into and an item taken, with only a ransom note left behind: "If you want to see it again, come to the auditorium on the fourth floor at sunset."

Either way, when you arrive, there will be a pile of stolen goods on the stage, quite unharmed. There will also be a table with various foodstuffs and drinks. The food is quite tasty, and so is the tea. The booze isn't bad either. It must have come from someone with a pretty impressive stash.

On a completely unrelated note, there is one (1) Yakumo Yukari sitting in the front row. She is the picture of innocence, and there is absolutely no way she stole your shit. ]

[Well that doesn't seem ominous at all]

And why is this discussion going to take all day...?

Because it's better to leave others prepared than to have them worried unnecessarily when you do not return.

[... Uh... huh....]

I'll talk to Tempest, then...

Very good.

[On the bright side, he does in fact go talk to Tempest.

It's just.

... He doesn't really make his way back over to you, either.]

[That's highly inconsiderate, wouldn't you say?

As the conversations die down and people begin to drift off, Zexion slips from the edge of the room, presence quiet as he pads over to Chrono, fingers curling over the clothing in his nape with all the delicacy of a mother cat retrieving an errant kitten.]

[Wait-- This-- Excuse you!]

Hey-!

[Gosh you're light enough that even I can lift you.]

Please keep your struggles to a minimum. They will only result in aggravating your injuries.

[Diiiiie]

Are you kidnapping me?

Of course not. You were given ample opportunity to inform those others concerned for your welfare as to where you would be.

[Speaking of where you would be, the world around them is blurring into a rush of motion lines, the auditorium (and those inside it) suddenly significantly farther away.]

[asjkdl AT LEAST WARN ME

He would be tottering unsteadily if you didn't have him by the scruff.]

[One jump, and two, and three, and the world solidifies into the door to Apartment Y, which Zexion pushes open with comfortable familiarity.]

[. . . after a moment's consideration, he reaches down to scoop an arm under Chrono's legs, carrying him bridal-style into the room beyond.]

[... Okay. Okay yes. STRUGGLING IN EARNEST NOW.]

I can walk-- put me down!!

Be still. And calm, if you can manage it.

[Soft light spills out of the room ahead; the glow of two familiar memory pods, the people within still lost in sleep. The air smells oddly of . . . the ocean? Open water, and salt, and there's something else . . . ]

[He frowns and goes still after a few more struggles, not at his urgings, but more because... all of his senses are now trained on that corner of the room.]

['That corner' is certainly considerably changed from his last visit here. It's hard to see, being carried like this, but the memory pod that had held Tide's developing replica is completely gone. Where it had stood, the floor, even some of the walls have changed; surface smooth but organic, sheared planes of hexagonal crystals forming the basin of a shallow pool.

Zexion walks over to it and, without any fanfare at all, lowers Chrono into the liquid contained within.]

[He doesn't resist, but he does sit up, eyes wide; there's really no mistaking what this is. He could feel it from the other side of the room.]

How did you--?!

The materials themselves were leftovers from the process previously completed here. Identifying them and encouraging growth in such a way that they would ultimately be beneficial was a matter of your memories.

Lie back. At the least, your shoulders should remain submerged.

[Legion pool '-' .... Legion pool!!!

He doesn't lay back yet, though, still clearly vexed.]

But why? Why bother?

What else was I going to do with it?

[I... okay. I'll process this later. When you aren't around.

After a long, blank look he just lays back, letting the water wash over him.]

[Presses a damp hand to his forehead, as much checking his temperature as urging him back against the pool's edge.]

Rest. Should you linger here longer than was previously conveyed, I will inform your housemates of your whereabouts.

[Why are you so fucking perplexing.

He's really not in any position to argue, though, so he just nods and closes his eyes.]

[The hand on his forehead lifts, and there's the sound of leather sliding against leather as he stands, walking to the doorway and slipping quietly out.]
