Aerith … Aerith … ? … [ ?? ] ( Aerith. ) ❛ Aerith! ❜ The soul scratches the back of his throat with its desperate cry, eyes wide, open / the world, blurry and distorted. He chokes for a moment. One cough, then two, three, not four. He knows she's there. His heart has met hers many times; they've grown far beyond acquainted – familiar, valued, loved, but in a way that never carried any sort of explanation. Loved in a way that one might love a ghost; fleetingly and needy. His hands extend in a way that he wants them to, but also in a way that he doesn't entirely feel in control of. He sees red . . . is he bleeding?
For a moment, he can force his vision to clear as he peers at his torso, red and mangled, her hands equally as bloody, using all of her soul to ensure his salvation from oblivion. She needn't expend so much of herself for this. If she is this world's salvation, she should save herself. Leave him to fade to ash within his own burning heart of vengeance. Why is he so angry … ? Why is he here? What has any of this been for?
Oh. Yeah. Him. The reason he lies here, half a corpse, and the reason his world has been lit aflame by the fires of hell, the reason for the scar that has been re-torn from its restoration, that his world does not exist in a way it used to. The plague upon his mind, his visions, his vessel. Sephiroth.
That home-like voice disrupts his thoughts, pleading for him to open his eyes. It seems the world's gone dark. In his mind, he's somewhere else. There are paths strewn out before him – many of them. Some feel more akin to memories than anything involving a sort of future. Some horrific, full of raging heat and drowning sorrow. Some are lonely, weak, pathetic, and full of tears lost to unbelonging. Some are content, the smell of his mother's cooking wafting through the wooden walls of his home, dreamy like sleepy mornings, where he was reminded that he was loved. There's one more from the past, it seems, filled with a sort of chemical taste and blurry vision, green, sick, nauseous, poisoned, and he feels pain, and he sees …. [ ------- ] .. -__----_- ?????? His head aches.
And then there's the others. One, haunted, wicked and cruel, full of rage and malice, contempt, and the type of heat that does not just kill, but alters reality and destroys every path it takes. Like, no matter where it goes or what it touches, it only wreaks destruction. There's another one that's grassy and warm, there are flowers, and he sees his friends, all of them, smiling, extending their hands; he feels welcome, warm, but something about it doesn't feel quite right. And there's one that's cold, hollow, the wind biting at his cheeks and ears, where it's everything he can do to keep warm. His friends are there. Most of them. … He looks around with an inexplicable grief, and he cannot seem to find her. Aerith…?
“ Can you hear me ? ” [ Yeah. ]
---_--= ? --------------……… “ What about now ? Can you get up ? ”
…………… “ Hello? Hello? ” It sounds sadder than before.
His foot twitches slightly, his eyelids expose his sight to the brightness of this place / blinding. [ Where am I ? ] Oh. Aerith is here. [ Remember. ]
He's bleeding, dipping in and out of consciousness, and Aerith is crying, and he thinks others are watching. He can't see them, but he knows them. It's as if the person he was before that blade met his chest wrought with crimson suffering wakes up again. That memory… Waking to the sight of her. He cherishes it still.
❛ Aerith…? ❜ That voice doesn't feel like his. Careful fingers, shaking and weak, cast a streak of blood against her cheek, and as she clings to him with a force that should bring him pain, as his eyes are half lidded and he's half a person, he presses gentle lips to hers, uncertain of anything… everything, but the present.
❛ I need some rest. ❜ Monotonous, exhausted, croaky and peaceful.
❛ I won't leave you. … I promise. ❜
❝ you look like you’ve got something to say. ❞
was it really that obvious ? he ducks his head away for a moment, slightly embarrassed that @callholy saw through him so easily. in truth, for the possibly first time in his life, reno was . . . nervous. he could hardly be blamed though, because why was he even meeting aerith's mother. it was only a given that the woman wanted to meet the man protecting her daughter at some point, though it was glaringly obvious that their was always a suspicious air about him. any shinra employee, a turk no less, hardly inspired trust, and it was something that reno didn't care about normally. but why did he care now then ? it was just aerith's idea, a casual lunch . . .
he cuts his thoughts off with a sigh, a hand lifting to ruffle through short hair before blue hues meet green.
❝ well . . . are you sure we should be doin' this ? i mean, i'm not really the kinda guy a mom would like. ❞

positivity time ! / @callholy ft. @starblazes !
🍒 + @starblazes / fae's blogs <3
cracks knuckles alright lets do this--
it's been a hot minute since i've been involved in the RP community, partially because my old blog was shadow-banned for over a year & i only got that sorted after i archived / moved blogs again, & partially because i've just been so busy IRL that i had a 6-month no-show stint here for the first half of this year ---- but seeing fae on my dash upon my return honestly made me feel so warm & fuzzy inside, & perhaps it's weird because we really haven't interacted much IC or OOC at all, but it made me feel comfortable & like i'd come home .
i'm mostly used to fae from their chibiusa blog, though i know they have others, & having gotten into HSR myself within the last two years, seeing they had a blog for TB made me smile & made me so giddy, honestly ; fae always does so well with all of their characters, & you can tell they love them all so very dearly, it's so precious & heartwarming .
fae is a lovely person to see on the dash, to chat with & to read writing from - i hope that we can interact at least a bit more over time, either IC or OOC ( or both ! ), & i hope they know that they're loved, cherished & adored by so many people on this platform <3
FLORA AERITH !!!! FLORA AERITH !!!!! FLORA AERITH !!!! 🫂🫂🫂 i'm so happy to see you writing our special flower girl - cannot wait to see your interpretation of her whimsy!!
AHHHHHHHHH, WAIT, WAIT WAIT - YOU'RE BACK???? I HAD NO IDEA. EEEEEE. where have u BEEN?
LET US AERITH TOGETHER. hehehehe. Her portrayal will be nothing compared to yours though <333
the sylle - scent always reminds him of a time from before ( delicate heart - shaped soft blue petals named innocence swaying in the spring wind & a world of remembrance watching the eastern skies as the moon rose, never-ending desperation for the mourning lamb to be saved. ) these unsubtle hours are no different — etro’s guiding grace causing careful dissonance to rupture. hand apathetically outstretched, no different does a fluttering heart miss the childish letters sent between wards with apology, but even so, noctis is the heir apparent now & dutifully engaged, torn from the heavens & laborious reverie ruined by the crushing reality that gods are awfully hard to kill. he leans closer, midnight-dark gaze unwavering. then, unprompted, in a voice as even as can be, he softly says, ‘ you keep your gods in balls ? ’

❛ Don't . ❜
❛ . . . cloud ? ❜ eyes widen, filling with fear as the former soldier staggers toward her, his movements acting as though his limbs were attached to strings. a marionette called to stage, forced to perform. ❛ . . . cloud . . . you're scaring me . . . ❜
@callholy
As long as we have this , Sephiroth won't be able to use meteor .
[ GOT KEY ITEM : “ Black Materia ! ” ]
Sephiroth ? Sephiroth. I am here . And I've brought you the Black Materia . Show yourself to me . Where are you ?
WAKE UP !
[ Rise , Cloud . ]
It's loud . It's loud . It hurts . His head . The noise . This descent will be his ruination . The agony builds within his veins and his blood never meet release . His blood does not exist in this world . Gaia ? Nibelheim ? Midgar . To hell with it all . He does not belong here .
Aerith calls to him ; he hears her . Her voice is laced with fear and sympathy , worry and self - preservation . Don't make him laugh . He doesn't need that . He doesn't even want it . He replays her pleading woe again and again in his recent memory because it's all he can remember . It infuriates him . It burns like the fires of . . . of hom - OF METEOR .
[ If you're scared , you should be . ] A performance ? Don't make him laugh . This is reality . This is real . It is real , as he splits from himself , a man who stands there , empty , blank , a vessel . White tee shirt . Jeans . Brown boots . Like he belongs somewhere . Like his clothes make sense of his past and do not harbor a fucking delusion that he cannot strip from his flesh . He parts from that “Cloud .” He's not real . He's a fabrication born of nothingness . He is the real Cloud . And the black materia has been taken from him .
❛ Give it to me . ❜ He commands in a voice that is both full and hollow , echoing from its nonexistence and overflowing with need .
IF SHE WON'T GIVE IT TO US , WE MUST TAKE IT .
Fuck everything . Fuck everyone . Nothing matters . His will must be delivered . Cloud is forgotten , absolved from existence that he might meet deliverance . This body staggers toward the white mage , holy bearer , like he's wrought with senselessness . Dizzy , weak , vision blurred and tunneled toward the orb wrapped in her fingers . He could destroy her , if He asked . ( Whatever happens . . . don't blame yourself . ) Don't make him laugh . The words exit his mind as quickly as they came , in that same god - awful cadence of false care and feigned romanticism . Please get rid of her blasphemous tongue . Cut it off , for all he cares . He needs the black materia .
❛ Aerith . Let's talk . ❜ LIE , LIE , LIE . It's all he knows , regardless . Nothing matters .
❛ Heheh . . . ❜ Delirious laughter lifts from his tongue like a vicious haunt , taunting and threateningly demonic . This vessel wills him onward .
She keeps moving , running . Running ? Running away ? Don't make him laugh . He follows her like nothing fucking matters . Nothing . but this . If manipulation will not work , if his lies will not deceive her the way they had deceived himself , he would beg , plead , and cry . ❛ Plea . . . se . ❜ He whines like his desires are left unfulfilled , like he's been abandoned in a moment of utmost intimacy .
❛ Aerithh . . . ❜ Her name shakes off his tongue , stuttered and forcefully convinced . THIS IS REAL . He reminds himself again . THIS IS REALITY . He meets her eyes , irises as empty as the orb within her hair . Devoid of meaning . Devoid of future . Nothing matters , remember . Nothing matters but this . The swirling chaos lifts to his eyes , and suddenly , he's found meaning .
Captivated , lured , fulfilled , pleasured , understood , sanctified .
( Whatever happens , I'm here for you . ) Thank you . Thank you . Thank you .
He grasps the caged darkness in his palms and smiles . ❛ Thank you . ❜
When he races to Sephiroth , nothing else matters . He has found his purpose , and for the first time since his lonely birth , he feels at home . . . If home were a bloodied mansion , tattered walls and vacant halls , voices whispering to him endlessly like a chaotic cacophony in which he could never escape . IS THIS HOME ? IS THIS YOUR FUCKING HOME , CLOUD STRIFE ?
Shit . YOU'VE FUCKED UP AGAIN , CLOUD STRIFE . ENDANGERED WHO YOU LOVE AND FORGONE THEIR LIFE FOR PERVERTED PURIFICATION .
( Cloud , be strong okay ? ) Fuck . He grips the hair on his head like it might relieve some of the pressure that slams into him like it's fallen from exorbitant heights and met landing with his mind . ❛ Auughhh . . . ! ❜ He cries out in a fit of suffering that cannot be contained within him , and his body crumbles like collapsing star . No amount of conscious suppression nor trauma - induced repression will steel him from this suffering . HE IS A FAILED SUPERNOVA .
❛ What have I done ?! ❜
