The entire day of running around had Hope's legs shaking even as he approached the area in Sector 6. Apparently being dead for a while left an impact, even after nearly a day. He didn't feel any worse for wear, but it just seemed like he was weaker; getting better each hour, but having slept and then woken up in the morning to the broadcast... he didn't have to time to rest up and recover.

He had been running all day on spells, feeling like he had back on their journey, never stopping and supplementing rest with cure spells and his synergist abilities.

The others would catch up, he knew. For the moment, though, he would just... rest his legs. Just for a moment.

[ooc: He is weak right now, but he'll do his best to keep up the spells. Pretty useless in a Void, though, if there is going to be one here. But feel free to do just about anything?]

[Hope. Hooooope! Someone's on your NV, trying to get your attention.]

Hope? HOPE! Answer me, where are you?!

[Tifa's panicked, running around her apartment in a frenzy. She'd just got him back, he'd just come back from the dead and now this. He knew about Vanille, that much was obvious, but out on his own again...no. No she had to find him now.]

Tell me where you are! You're not the only one looking, link up with us!

[A call? He was just--]

Tifa?

[Give him a moment to fumble with the NV. Shaky, shaky... why was he so shaky? He was probably just going to sleep for a long while after this. After Vanille was safe again.]

I'm in Sector 6. There's... I know I'm close. It's got to be somewhere around here.

STAY THERE! Hope you stay right there and I will be there as soon as I can. We'll find it together okay? Just find a safe spot and don't go anywhere. We'll be better together.

[Coat. Gloves, hat? Scarf? Dammit, can't find them, they'll have to stay. Tifa's down the stairs and bolting out the front door, hollering for a Taxi. She won't lose Hope OR Vanille. It's NOT going to happen.]

Stay...?

[It wasn't what he wanted to do-- he was going to keep searching. But at the same time, stopping for a little while felt like a good idea. His legs were hurting from all the running around, and he was just feeling a little woozy.]

...Okay. Just for-- a little while. I just have a bad feeling something's going to happen.

Nothing's going to happen Hope, we're going to stop it. We, together, you and me right? Like I taught you in class; Force Multipliers. Two people fighting together are greater than the some of their parts.

Just hold on for a little longer and I'll be right there.

[She's trying to be authoritative and not plead, but it's hard.]

[He's fidgeting, but eventually nods.]

Yeah, I remember. I'll wait.

[And thinking on it, it probably wasn't a good idea to rush in by himself. He just... really wanted to find Vanille.]

Thanks, Tifa.

The Cab didn't get there nearly fast enough for her taste, although Tifa'd managed to bully the driver into breaking the speed limit on straightaways. Tossing a handful of cash at him she bolted out the door like a ferret, trying to home in on Hope's location.

"Hope?" She whispered fiercely, "Hope?!"

He looks up from where he had been scouting the area a little, trying to find out any clues on what he'd be up against soon... Cultists were just weird religious people, right? But then, on this island, everyone had powers, so...

"Tifa?" He rounds the corner closer to her voice.

Several long steps and she was crushing him in a fierce bearhug. Word of his death had gutted her badly, left her shaken and sick over a failure to protect him in both training in action. Now he was back and...for a moment it was all she could do to squeeze him like a little brother who'd gotten lost at the mall.

"...it's good to see you again." She whispered, letting him go and giving a teary smile. There would be more time after they rescued Vanille and the others. "Did you find anything?

"Tifa..." He tone was a little guilty as he thought about how worried the others might have been. He hadn't really taken that into account, especially when he rushed out in the morning, with nothing on his mind other than finding Vanille again. "I..."

He shook his head, though, making a note mentally to make it up to everyone somehow after this was all over. He wasn't sure how, but he would. He didn't like seeing people so worried like that, or sad. "Not yet. I know she has to be around here somewhere. I know it's Sector 6."

Charles was trailing behind him a few metres, choosing to walk the rest of the way to meet with Hope and Tifa. Erik choose to fly up and drop silently, to urge the two youngsters to stay close and quiet while Charles caught up.

As he landed lightly, raising a finger to his mouth and then motioned quiet.

"Out looking for friends?" The words were more mouthed than spoken.

"It's okay." Tifa responded to what wasn't said, resting an affectionate hand on his cheek with a smile.

"Sector Six is good. I've seen some strange symbols on the drive here, so I'm betting if we check some of those out we'll find something." She beckoned him to follow, backtracking until she found one of the strange blue symbols that seemed to run in a line deeper into the sector.

Hope nodded, leaning in closer to stay with Tifa as they walked, although he tilted his head as greeting when he saw the doctor. It was... well, it was nice to know that he wasn't the only one out here searching, and that Vanille had other people who cared for her and would be out searching for her like this.

He had been worried for her ever since Fang left, knowing that the girl was used to the presence of the Pulsian warrior, and that her leaving would be a strain on Vanille, even if it was emotionally.

"I've seen the symbols. There's more by the docks." He pointed toward the waterfront. "But... it's kind of random over there. All over the place."

ITT: LB'S FAIL ATTEMPT TO KILL ALL CULTISTS. deceptive_lulz March 2 2011, 06:54:41 UTC
Even before the abductions began, to say that Sarina was wary would be an understatement. So about the time she made the broadcast, through the NV, she had been keeping an eye on the cultists, from a distance. Not only because they tended to gather at the diamond, in which Sarina had attacked only a week or so ago, but also because of her history with cultists in general.

Because of her fear of cultists, it was enough to trigger one of the conditions for her Octopus transformation. Although she saw the Beast as a nuisance before, one of the more convenient features of her suit was the ability to almost seamlessly blend in with her surroundings -- it made it rather easy to track the cultists down.

As she saw the boathouse, in the distance, she paused to observe the cultist she was following. Once the disappeared to the inside of the building, her Beast suit dissolved as her source of fear was currently taking a backseat to her excitementAfter leaving a quick phone message to Alex (the only person she could really trust in this ( ... )
