"Light. Light — Asashi." At the last moment, Light decided to use his alias; though his short-term memory was quite blurry, and he had no recollection of the Death Note (and therefore, no real grasp on what had occurred the last several months of his life), he did remember bits and pieces of conversations from headquarters, and with Kira still roaming free, he figured it best to stay safe — that’s what L had told them to do, anyway. Unless this man happened to be the second Kira, who only needed a face to kill.. then, Light might be in some trouble.

But he doubted Kira would be walking around in such a strange attire.

"Are you in the military?" he asked, nonchalantly, not necessarily ready to part company just yet — at least not until he could remember where he wanted to go. "I’ve never seen a uniform quite like that before."

#lightisjustice #Yooooo #sorry this is late!

"Light, huh? Cool name. It's great to meet'cha." Another firm nod, perhaps glad to have made acquaintanceship while he was here-- it was a bit odd even loafing around like this without the usual company. And hey, maybe he could get some nice info out of Light as to which places served the best food around here.

Once his uniform was pointed out, Zack's gaze dropped, inky brows slightly arched, he hadn't expected it to be a topic of discussion. But, then again SOLDIERs weren't the norm around here like they were back in Midgar. He may even be the first one to come by, since he didn't recall this location to be listed on the boards before.

"Uh-- yeah, you can say that. I'm a SOLDIER, for a company called ShinRa-- which isn't anywhere around here. I was sent here on assignment." Though, said task wasn't time restricted, which explained his sightseeing at the moment.

"My son." She frowned looking to the table then back to him as her gaze wandered to the sword leaning against the wall. "He came by. But he left his sword."

#motherofhonor #Yeeeessssss--

He followed her gaze, brows lifting as it came across that sword Angeal fussed over so much. Why did he...? A crease formed between his brows as that azure gaze zeroed back to Gillian. "Did he say anything to you about where he was going?"

Well — that answer confirmed Light’s suspicions, and he could say with confidence now that he certainly didn’t know this man; his tone, along with his expression were enough to tell Light that this was a confused stranger who clearly thought that Light was slightly crazy — and so he shined his brightest smile in his direction and stood up a little taller.

"I’m sorry. I’ve mistaken you for someone that I know — forgive me." But if that wasn’t enough, Light offered a small bow and a handshake. "It’s nice to meet you.”

#shhh #i'll never stop #(ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧#lightisjustice

Gaze falling upon the extended hand, there was only the shortest pause before Zack simply shrugged, nodded and wrapped it in a firm shake before folding his arms at his chest. A grin surfaced easily on his face, to return the smile he was met with.

"Hey, don't worry 'bout it, man; it happens, right? The name's Zack. S'great to meet you too.. uh--?"

An Unfriendly Town; A Familiar Face [herofirstclass]

azul-tragedy-archives-blog

Knowing full well that her words - and her presence, in this state at least - were the reason that he frowned hurt so much more than she’d ever let on. His smile was so much more appreciated than he knew, because after so much darkness, and sadness, and negative emotions, all she wanted right now was to have a friend at her side to bring light back into her life. She’d never truly lost her light, but there was a time she almost did in the Realm of Darkness, and had she given up she wouldn’t be here today. So right now, she needed that ever-so-cheerful smile of his.

Assuming it had been extended for her to take, she placed her hand in his and allowed him to lead her to wherever this inn was. Deep in her memory, she could recall having denied his assistance in Olympus, back when she was strong and independent. She was still strong, but right now she needed someone to guide her and make sure she didn’t trip over her own feet due to exhaustion. So for the time being at least, she’d place her trust in him and let him lead her.

"Thank you, Zack." It was the only thing she could say. She had nothing to else offer him in return for his kindness, and even if she did he’d probably refuse to take it anyway. The effort she made though, was smiling for him. A real smile, not hindered by sad thoughts or worries behind those eyes of hers.

Nibelheim. Aqua let her blue-eyed gaze wander over the town before her as she was led along by her old friend. It was…definitely bigger than the average small town, but it had that appearance to it that seemed much closer and cozier than a city would. The only thing that seemed off-putting to her were the large pipes scattered around and the obvious presence of a factory somewhere nearby.

It wasn’t until they were more than halfway to the inn that something dawned on her. This was Zack’s world, and his home - not necessarily this specific town but still. For all she knew he had been in the middle of something very important when she showed up so unexpectedly as she always did. “Zack, I’m sorry. I’m not keeping you from anything important, am I?”

#azultragedy #Here we go!

"Hey, don't mention it," Glancing back to see her smile, he countered with another of his own. Her effort seemed to have indeed lightened his mood a considerable amount, as his shoulders had straightened out of the faint slump of worry they'd stooped into once the pair began to cut through town. Turning to face forward again, he jerked his chin toward a well-kept building slightly larger than the ones it was nestled between. His lips had parted to introduce her to Nibelheim's inn, but her latest inquiry immediately tied his tongue. He halted as the thought struck him, and the heel of his hand slapped against his forehead as physical manifestation.

Oh, crap, that's right-- he'd forgotten completely about those new orders.

Mako-blue eyes shifted toward the road, and the exit he was supposed to have walked through a handful of minutes ago already but he shook his head. "Uh... right. Heh." A sheepish shadow overcame his expression briefly, though it was waved away by a dismissive hand. He'd make sure to call the HQ later on and explain himself properly. Director Lazard wouldn't hold it against him... probably.

"I had a mission-- but it can wait. I won't worry 'bout it. This is a little more important, I think. Besides," he then turned back, hooking his thumb toward the structure a few paces away. "that's it right there. The inn. Come on."

Yet another smile shone on the keyblade master, born out of desire to free her of any thoughts she might have gotten regarding being any sort of distraction or burden. It was the very opposite in the SOLDIER's mind in fact, her presence was refreshing-- current problems or not. So, Zack fulfilled his intention and took the final steps to end the short journey through town, leading her into the much warmer atmosphere of Nibelheim's inn.

Although the pair had never met previously, Light thought that it was a very real possibility that they had, and he had disappeared with what seemed to be many other memories that Light harbored. And so when he responded, he did so casually, as if to remain neutral and avoid suspicion.

"I’m all right — uhh — buddy. I’m merely planning out my day’s schedule.. and then I’ll jump right back on path. Why? Was I supposed to be somewhere?”

#lightisjustice #Geez right back at you perf light ♥

"Er, well, can't say I know that. Were you?" A blink befell those inhumanly blue eyes, and a short wondering thought of the possibility of some kind of trick question having been shot. There was something a little.. odd about this guy, but Zack simply couldn't place it. Eh, maybe people around here were all like this.

azul-tragedy replied to your post: "Alright! Almost finished!"

(( you don’t have to write me a starter since I’m waiting on a reply from you. It’s just nice to see you back XD ))

{ Hey there, Aqua-mun! Working on your reply right now, actually. Sorry for the absence! }

#azultragedy #outofheroism;

Stands in the street, rather confused — what had he just been doing? Where was he going? He couldn’t remember.. and a few things didn’t make sense, besides that. So perhaps he will just stand here until he figures it all out.

#//casually jumps on the chance to rp with you hi #lightisjustice

"--Hey buddy, you okay?" Ebony brow lifted, the SOLDIER tilted his head inquiringly. "Ya look a little lost."

"Every day? Goodness…" she gasped, mildly surprised by his dedication to physical fitness. "Are you an athlete, by chance?" Excepting those preparing for a pilgrimage, whether as guardian or summoner, blitzball players were the only people she knew that trained so fiercely. "You must be very skilled… not even the Aurochs train daily!" Then again, Beclem had called them the laziest team in Spira… they preferred to use the term ‘laid-back’. Yuna titled her head curiously at his question, considering it herself. Zack seemed to be a first-time visitor to the island, and generally she opted to introduce them to Besaidian cuisine, but… he might not like seafood. She hummed a thoughtful noise, before finally responding. “Well, I suppose that all depends on your preference! You are the guest of honor, after all. Do you have a taste for something in particular today?”

#withoutfalsehope #ijehfiwhje #late reply is late and mun is gomen

"Athlete? S'pose you can say that." Not that any of his comrades would rightly agree with the notion out of context like this, but the comment did seem to make his chest puff out just a little more, if one squinted hard enough. "--But, well, I should say it's kinda required, what with being a SOLDIER and all. Can't slack off." He lifted his shoulders into a shrug before leaning back and folding his arms.

"Guest of honor, huh?" Obsidian brows perked at the title, something of a childish grin plastered on his face now. But, Zack shook it off quickly, for the most part, before bringing a hand to his chin and nodding to himself. "Hm. Anything'll do, really. I'm not too picky. How about-- since this is my first time here, some native food?"

"Alright! Almost finished!"

Turning to face the male, she felt his hand resting on her shoulder, removing her hands from her face she rested one hand on his hand and nodded her head, It’s quite ridiculous for me to be this upset, nothing can come from it. Removing her hand she wiped the tears that splashed on her cheeks and sniffed away the sadness.

"I needed to be there for them both. I searched for so long for them, I was lost in a pitiful space, and even though I set myself free, I am still searching for them, for Ven and Terra. I need to know they are safe, I can’t sit here feeling upset about them, I have to look for them. But you are right, I need to be strong, for not only them, but for myself."

Aqua bit down on her lip, for where was she to go? Who would know the answers? “I am so very sorry, I didn’t mean to let that happen, I let the sadness take over me. I haven’t wept in so long, I tried to keep strong, but seeing an old face just seemed to spark something inside my heart. I can’t remember much from anything, My memory is tainted, and when I try to recall what had happened, it aches to the point of a breakdown. I can’t stop it, but what other ways are their to remember the past only but with a mind?”

Turning away from the male she put her hand into her pocket and pulled out her wayfinder. “I hope I find them soon, Zack?,” Turning towards him she smiled, “Could you tell me of the events that has happened? Even if it has nothing to do with my memories, or that of anyone else, it may help somehow.”

#mizuaqua #Sorry for the delay!

His smile only brightened once her eyes turned to him, as if the gesture would be transferred into the keyblade wielder's expression. "Hey, hey, hey-- don't you apologize. Holding that all in is no good. It's perfectly okay to cry from time to time." Especially after what she had gone through; it took some amazing willpower to stand strong as long as she's had. His experience with the darkness was nothing compared to hers, that was clear. Zack couldn't even begin to imagine what it was like; the loneliness, losing memories like that.. She really was something lasting this long. Still the champion he knew, that was for sure.

The blue-eyed soldier stood as she did, and planted his hands on his hips. The request made him furrow his brows. "What happened...? Uh, let's see." Scratching the back of his head, his gaze strayed away from her as he dove back into the back of his own memories. "--Nothing really went on after you left the Coliseum, actually. I stayed with Herc and Phil for a while longer to train and compete in the arena, but I had to leave a little later, too. Aaand, well, here I am now, I guess. Huh. Come to think of it, I don't really remember exactly how I came back." A faint frown pulled on his lips. That probably wasn't much help at all.

"But, everything was okay back there, as far as I knew." He nodded, both to himself and his companion as he redirected his gaze to her once more. He remained quiet for a brief moment, lips pursed. "So.. you haven't seen anyone else yet, huh?" A thought struck him after that, and he didn't really give her the time to answer before he spoke again, "You're not hungry or anything, right? I mean, have you had a break all this time?"

— The male stared at the other closely. A small grunt left his mouth as his crimson eyes looked away.

"Vincent.."He mumbled." And you are…?"

#hhhhhhhhh sorry his reply came so slow Dx #sinfulchaos

"My name's Zack. SOLDIER, First Class. It's good to meet'cha, Vincent." A nod accompanied the introduction. "And, uh, sorry 'bout that pop quiz earlier."

“Good to meet you too, Zack.” She smiled softly at him in return. “What brings you to Banora?”
