homukami:

“That… Is incredibly foolish. After everything he’s done, and with warning…” The Goddess shakes her head, crossing her arms over her chest… But she quiets once more, as Naka continues with her story.

“That’s good. He deserves to be that impotent. After all the pain he’s caused…” She couldn’t help but be a bit concerned that he’d do something again, somehow, but… This wasn’t the time to think of such things. “I… I feel that I should apologize. For not doing something to handle him, back in Gamindustri- I felt that it wasn’t my place to interfere, yet if I had… You would never have dealt with any of the pain you did.” 

She pauses, before moving forward to pull Naka into another hug- far more loose, this time. “…I’m glad I’ve found you, though. It feels good to have my family back together, in one way or another. …Do you intend to return to the HQ™ and Gamindustri? I know you have duties here, but…”

“Oh, trust me, literally the first thing I said when he started putting his plans into motion was ‘I told you so’.” Actually, that’s not what you said, but it was damn close to that.

“...and for the record, you’re banned from apologizing for that. Believe me, I’m familiar with that feeling now, and it’s damn hard to get past it sometimes. You don’t need to apologize for being uncertain about if you even have the right to interfere.” Pat, pat. “Besides, doing that to him was amazingly satisfying.”

She naturally immediately hugs Homu back, relaxing into it. “...lemme put it this way. If not for the fact that I’ve had to keep an eye on and/or actively deal with Noctus, I would’ve come back by now. Yeah, I have duties, but at this point in the world’s development, they’re extremely limited. Most of us gods have actually been spending a lot of time doing a whole lot of nothing.” RIP.

sigmagateway:

“Yup, it’s definitely you, alright.” That really cheesy pick-up line made CF giggle. This is the kind of cheese she expects from her girlfriend, after all.

“This is so much… I couldn’t even think when… it happened. I’m… SO glad I can do this again!” Really, it’s hard for CF to make words, with how many emotions are going through her right now. So she just does what she can do at the moment.

Which is hug as tight as she can, while also crying.

I think these two need a bit of time.

“Hehehe, as am I! It’s really been too long...” And now she’s starting to sob, herself, while nuzzling CF a little.

In other words, we have two nerds, bawling their eyes out in each other’s arms, in front of a statue of one of them.

Needless to say, them needing a bit of time is probably an understatement. A massive one.

[dorkindustri]

sigmagateway:

And hug quickly returned! It’s amazing that CF hasn’t just cried on the spot.

“If this is a dream, I’M GOING TO MURDER WHO MADE IT. I WANT THIS TO BE REAL, DAMN IT!” Of course she tries to pull a tough act, but this is between sobs, so.

“I missed you so much! Tell me this is real! So I don’t have to face another day without you!” Really, there isn’t much more to say. CF is overwhelmed with joy at this point, so she’s obviously crying right now.

“I dunno, maybe you should pinch yourself to check!” Oh yeah, she’s the real deal, there’s the smartass. She’s now just picking her up and swinging her around! “But I suppose it depends! Am I the girl of your dreams? ‘Cause if so, I guess this is a dream by default!” You’ve been using your thousands of years to come up with this stuff, haven’t you?

“But in all seriousness...” She now sets CF back down, and promptly resumes the tight hugging. “...yes, this is real. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this moment.” Yep, the waterworks are really going now.

[dorkindustri]

sigmagateway:

“?!?!?!?!?!?!” Well, CF was stunned FROZEN when she saw Naka appear! Even moreso when she STARTED JOINING THE SONG. She SWEARS she never sung this when she was around, so how did she know?! It felt too much like a dream, but at the same time.

Well, she LOOKS different, but CF could FEEL that it’s her. It’s not too different.

If this were a dream, she’d look exactly the same. Plus, it wouldn’t be singing to THIS. So, CF goes for what seems logical to her.

Continue the song while getting closer. Even if this was a dream, CF is going to play along. She wants to experience this.

“<The more we join our feelings, the more warmth I’ll convey To you, my important and irreplaceable person Although the words we exchange may at times be cold, I just want to always be at your side, without any lies between us.>”

She’s trying to hold it in, but CF is starting to get a LITTLE emotional right now.

Naturally, she’s enjoying CF’s reaction, and even getting a bit emotional herself. And of course, she comes closer as well.

“<The more we play a song together, little by little, the more I'll get closer To you, my important and irreplaceable person Although the words we exchange may at times be cold, I just want to always be at your side, without any lies between us.>”

And with that final verse... she promptly tightly hugs CF, tears now starting to flow.

[sigmagateway]

“Man, to think I’ll be away from this place for months on end once the voyage begins.” And here we have CF, at a familiar monument from before.

“Uhh… This is kinda awkward, seeing how you probably can’t hear me and stuff. But, I’m getting better. It still hurts at times, and I mean a LOT. But I’m doing my best. And thanks to you, I can do a lot more for the people that look to me for leadership. And I STILL don’t know why they look to me for that. I just… hope you are still out there, and happy, at least.”

“… This is getting sappier than I was hoping. Good thing no one walks around here at midnight.”

… I think she’s getting ideas. Since NO ONE VISIBLE IS HERE.

“Eh, fuck it. No one is around, might as well.”

Guess what? SHE’S SINGING.

“<Our feelings are in disagreement, as you walk without Even turning back while I stop on my tracks.>

“<However, I don’t want to continue my travel alone by any means Let’s let our joining bonds cross over the opening door.>

“<The more we play a song together, little by little, the more I’ll get closer To you, my important and irreplaceable person Although our strongly joined hands will quarrel against each other sometimes, The feelings we convey to each other don’t need any embellishments.>”

If anyone were listening in, now might be a good time to join in the singing!

[dorkindustri]

...and look who shows up shortly after CF begins singing, quietly enough for the Maker not to notice. A few seconds of processing what she’s doing... and she quietly clears her throat, as CF reaches the end of the third verse.

“<Confused, you trembled as you faced away from me lonesomely, But when I grasped firmly your hands, our feelings began to blur into each other.>” AND SHE STARTS SINGING TOO.

“<However, I'll continue believing That kindness will turn into strength You're not alone! That's what I want to tell you right now.>”

Let’s see how long this goes!

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

“…You’ve been through a lot, Naneru. I wish I could have been there for you.” She gives another squeeze, before pulling away (if Naka will allow that, at least). “…The multiverse’s most colossal jackass. Does that mean he is still around? Or did you manage to kill him again?” And there’s a touch of healing magic to help with the hangover!

“Well, we certainly kicked his ass big time. For some asinine reason, the same assholes who dragged me into being a part of this world’s pantheon also dragged HIM in too, even though I specifically warned them he was just gonna pull his bullshit again. It took him a while, but he did.” At least justice was served!

“One of my goddess companions has officially dealt with him proper, so he won’t be bothering anyone ever again. This time for real. He ain’t dead, but he’s been robbed of all of his power. Must be his worst nightmare.” I get the feeling you take great satisfaction in that.

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

Homura takes a moment to get her tears out- perhaps a touch longer than it would have taken otherwise, as a result of Naka’s words. After a while though, she sniffles and begins to speak, still holding onto the other girl.

“We thought you w-were gone, Naneru. I’ve been searching ever since, and…” She squeezes a touch tighter, letting out a long, shaky breath. “It w-was all worth it. Are you alright..?”

“Yeah, I don’t blame you for that.” Pat, pat. “And, well, I’m as alright as one who ascended, got thrown hundreds of millenia into the past, had her name changed, and re-fought the multiverse’s most colossal jackass, can be.” That is a mouthful. “So in other words, yeah. Monster headache though. I blame Samui for dragging me into the booze.”

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

Homura’s still for a moment, even once Naka’s teleported the pair of them up onto the roof. She just stares for a moment longer, tears welling up… Until she finally just rushes at Naka to pull her into a tight hug, tears finally rolling down her face.

“Naneru!!” …She’s going to need a few minutes.

“...this is not at all how I was expecting this to go.” And now she’s just gonna tightly hug her back. Don’t ask me where her coffee went, I have no idea.

“...I missed you a lot...” Awww.

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

“…” When Samui takes that deep breath, Homura just… Reflexively turns off her sense of hearing. And judging by the reaction from everyone else, she’s highly glad she did. Her hearing returns just in time to catch the last bit of the new woman’s words… And Homu finds herself just staring at her. She looked so incredibly familiar, she had to be–

“N-Naneru?? O-or…” There’s tears starting to well up in her purple eyes, now… Even if this wasn’t Naneru, she had to be related to her. Or… something. The resemblance was too much to ignore.

“Seriously, though, if Kage doesn’t beat me to it, I WILL kick your ass next t-” Aaaand there’s the stop as the gears slowly start turning.

“...wait a minute.” Turns towards Homu proper, and- she promptly freezes.

“...well this is awkward. I, uh. Was not expecting this.” She’s at a complete loss for words for a moment before- “...leeeeet’s do this elsewhere.” Vwip. The two are now on the roof!

“...did I miss something?” Probably.

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

Homura gives a short nod, at the others’ introductions. They seemed… Nice enough. Even if one of them reminded her a bit of Jack, somehow… And the news that their Naka had mentioned Naneru’s name was a significant improvement over what she’d been going off of so far.

“It’s nice to meet you all. …I hope you wouldn’t mind if I remain here until miss Naka wakes? Naneru was- is- a highly important person to my companions and I, so… I’d like to follow up any leads as soon as I can.” She smiles softly at the redhead’s words, bringing her hands together in front of her. “That’s… relatable, to say the least.”

“That’s fine. She probably won’t be asleep too much longer, anyway. Especially if I do this.” DEEP BREATH. Kage’s already pre-emptively covering her ears. (The ones on top of her head, mind you.)

“HEY NAKA! YOU AWAKE?” Holy hell she has some lungs. Also, rude.

“...not awake enough to deal with this shit.” Oh, hey, look who’s walking in!... in a fairly minimal, almost pajama-looking dress, hair down, and with a cup of coffee in hand. And clearly hungover, judging by how she hasn’t noticed Homu.

“Do me a favor and never do that again. It echoes enough in here to make that screaming especially unbearable.” RIP.

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

Homura’s pace slows, when she catches sight of that hole in the wall… That was strange. She’d have imagined they’d try to fix it, but… Clearly, that wasn’t the case. She moves on after a second, though, to look into the room where the voices were coming from.

Purple eyes glance over all of them, as they speak. She could sense that they were all quite powerful in their own ways… And the mention of punching a demon through three walls supported that observation. Either way, she makes her way into the room when she’s noticed, hands held together behind her back.

“My name is Homura Reighs- I’m a deity from another world. The concept of protection in my home world, in fact. I’m here searching for someone… A woman by the name of Naneru Karada, to be more specific. It seems there’s a signature here that’s quite similar to her own, so… I figured one of you would know something.”

“Naneru Karada? Doesn’t ring a bell. Then again, my memory isn’t always the best. Too much booze.” ...and she’s also a drunkard.

“Your drinking habits are certainly excessive. But I can confirm that we haven’t met anyone by that name. For that matter, no such person appears to exist in Rutania in general, according to records.” AI located, apparently. “Please forgive the rudeness of my companions for not introducing themselves. I am designated as E-SW-HU-1, but most just refer to me as ‘Arashi’ now.”

“A-Ah, Shimo Kawa. And... Didn’t Miss Naka mention that name once? I think it was only in passing, but...”

“Eh, maybe! But I’m pretty sure she’s still sleeping off last night’s celebrations. Long story short, we kicked the ass of a huge asshole. It was awesome.” Said enough swear words?

[dorkindustri]

"Tohkey!" And here's a Mizuki to hug the other girl from behind!! "Happy birthday~"

“Heeey, Mizu!” Tohkey is happy to receive hugs! “Ah, thank you! Truth be told, I’d forgotten if I’d even told anyone when my birthday was!”

[dorkindustri]

And here's a Blanny, wearing a party hat over her normal hat. Carrying three whole gifts, too! "Happy birthday, Tohketsu." (snowstormofanger)

“...three things. Oh boy, this is gonna be interesting, isn’t it? Not gonna lie, the hat thing is pretty cute.” She’s not complaining, of course.

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

Homura glances over the trophies kept in the foyer, as she makes her way through the room. It was apparent that the people here had been quite busy… And with some pretty strange threats, at that. Nonetheless, Homura’s focused- she doesn’t spend more than a few seconds looking over the trophies before moving on into the adjoining hallway for any sign of… anyone, really.

As she moves into the relatively unadorned hallway, the laughter dies down... but now voices can be heard instead... and the source of said voices is now more clear, as there appears to be an open door down the hallway. Opposite a person-sized hole in the wall.

...the people here clearly have a history. A history that includes one of them going through a wall. And meanwhile, a look through the door reveals... what appears to be four of those people, sitting and chatting in what appears to be a commons room! One big, broad, and built fiery-haired woman; one shorter, more slender black-haired girl (with notably cobalt eyes), with a set of cat ears and tail; a short, cyan-haired girl who seems quite on the young side; and finally, a taller blonde woman who seems to be the calmest of them all.

“I love ya, Kage (Ka-geh, for those not familiar with Japanese), but me clocking that thing in the face was way cooler. Can’t argue with punching a demon through three entire walls!” And I can already tell you’re the loud one. And the gay one.

“...whatever you say. Regardless, I believe we have company.” ...and Homu has been detected before she even comes into view! Cat hearing, probably.

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

Homura takes a moment to look up at the building, once she lands next to it. It wasn’t at all what she’d been expecting to see after all this time of searching for Naneru… But a good sign. These ‘Auronian Legends’ would have to know something, if Naneru herself wasn’t involved in some way.

The Goddess’s large purple wings fold delicately behind her back, before she steps forward to push open the door and make her way inside. This was where it would end, either way…

Beyond the door, there appears to be quite the large foyer. Its design doesn’t seem too extravagant, but interestingly, there appears to be ‘trophies’ of sorts on display all over it, both in standard display cases and on the walls. These trophies range from large, broken black swords, to ripped-off heads of mechanical beasts, to odd artifacts. There’s even a shard of some kind of black, shiny material that seems to have previously formed a hollow sphere. Interesting.

Besides that, there’s nobody to be seen, although faint laughter can be heard from a hallway to the left. Perhaps a place to investigate?

[dorkindustri]

homukami:

“Understood.” And, after a moment, Homura’s moved to approximately where Astraea indicated- Purple eyes glancing across the area in an attempt to locate the other woman. She had to be here somewhere…

Well, there’s no success in her look around... for a very simple reason. She seems to have somehow ended up right at the front door of a rather large cross between a mansion, a castle, and some kind of futuristic base. It’s truly a bizarre-looking building... and right on the front, there’s a little sign that reads...

Base of Operations Auronian Legends

And of course, next to said sign, there’s a somewhat large door.

It should be obvious where this is going.
