Aerith and Shelke's Excellent Adventure.
Characters: Aerith, Shelke, open to anyone else in past midgar (Denzel? Cissnei? Anyone else!)
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Shelke and Aerith go to the Shinra building. Other people may come along!
Location: Phantom Midgar
Date: Jan 22nd, but in the past...somehow...?
Warnings: I suppose they might run into a guardbot or something...
Shelke stared at the counter in the Seventh Heaven bar as she stood in the center of the room, her hands clasped behind her back, fingers fidgetting faintly as her mind raced. She'd never seen the original bar, she'd been six years trapped in Deepground when the Turks had brought the plate down, but she was surprised at how familiar it felt. It wasn't exactly like the one in Edge, but there were...signs of Tifa, little things, all over the room.
She'd taken her time getting there from her perch above the city, looking around at a Midgar from before Shinra and Meteor and Deepground had left most everything in ruins. It felt...familiar, somehow. She suspected that her sister or mother must have brought her to the city when she was younger, before Deepground, but the memories just weren't there anymore. She strained her mind, trying to focus, but nothing came up except a single flash of Shalua's face, younger, smiling, with a reactor in the background. It wasn't worth dwelling on.
Quiet footsteps carried her through the room, looking at this and that until she finally ducked behind the counter and noticed the blinking computer terminal. Even down here most everyone had a computer, and this one was...still working? She hadn't expected that. The machines had still been working...she'd taken one of the elevators down from the upper section of the city...but the mako reactors would run for a long time without anyone maintaining them. That made sense. But something like this?
Hmm...
She sat down in front of the screen and began tapping at the keyboard quietly.
