Arrival/Cosmos side/Open

[heavenslament]

[Terra glances around uneasily. She's less than thrilled to find herself underground, far preferring wide open spaces where she has more room to move. At least she has her own weapon this time, and from what she can tell, her abilities. That's a start.

The green-haired woman peers around curiously, hoping to find allies and get moving. Whether that plan she heard about comes to pass or not, she still has a role to fulfill. Thus, she begins her journey towards what she assumes must be the Chaos side of the battlefield.]

[alittletoosmart]

[The Onion Knight moves some way ahead of her, keeping an eye out for foes. He's determined not to allow her to be harmed again.]

[heavenslament]

[Terra perks up when she spots him, smiling. She's equally determined to protect him as best she can, to make up for being forced to attack him earlier.]

Do you see any trouble ahead?

[38thdefender]

[Being in a cave did not make Kurtis happy, either. His explosive attacks would be even more dangerous in an enclosed space.

It wasn't long before he ran into Terra. When he saw her, he gave her a nod.]

Chaos // Beginning // Open; separate or jumped threads for gathering peeps. Either's cool.

[zerosuitjill]

A cave.

This, Jill could handle. She'd crawled--figuratively and otherwise--through her share of dark and cramped spaces, so she could function well enough here if there weren't too many tricks. Quickly checking herself, she was relieved to find her gun and battle knife still on her. After checking and reloading the clip, she turned towards the familiar glow down the hall: Chaos' crystal, she already knew. She moved toward it.

Having recently paid a worthwhile visit to Chaos' shop, Jill was glad, ironically enough, to be sporting her battlesuit in its original condition: the cuts and tears and bloodstains were gone, even the zipper fixed to once again allow her to cover her chest up to the base of her throat. If it was all she had to wear, might as well make the best of it.

She'd wait around the backmost room as planned, gathering those she could and letting the others come to her. Any unaware of the plan would probably assume she was hanging back in defense.

"Jill. Enjoying all the glamour?"

Solidus emerged gingerly from one of the cave's unsettling openings, frowning at the fleshy walls around him. The impression of having been swallowed by an enormous beast was both unsettling and familiar. In these cramped quarters, his suit's agility and speed would be less useful. It seems they like to keep the surprises coming, he thought. What else have they got waiting for us? At least all his gear appeared to still be functioning.

[zerosuitjill]

Jill looked over, shaking her head. "As well as I can. I don't mind closed spaces so much these days, though." Well, "minding" and "being able to operate in them" were two different things, but that was the long version. "It doesn't seem like we're scattered too badly, though."

[prez_tentacle]

Solidus grunted and nodded. "How could we be, in such tight quarters? But we'll have to stay close together once we've made contact with the others. It will be too easy to get separated in this maze." He eyed the twisting passages around them distrustfully.

Arrival/Chaos side/Open

[bound_skyward]

[Kain glances around, wary and prepared for anything to happen. After the other battles, he doesn't trust that anything will go as expected... and after what recently happened with Kefka and Terra, he doesn't exactly trust himself, either. He's agreed to the stalemate plan, but he's already thinking to stick to the fringes of that, just to ensure he doesn't betray anyone.]

[With a stern expression, Kain grips his spear tightly and begins on his way.]

Arrival/Chaos side/Open OH HI THERE!!

[ruthlessreaper]

[Haseo's seriously pissed off about this whole scenario. He fights who he wants when he wants, not some idiot god's whims. When he comes around the corner he sees that one idiot he killed before. Not worth the time or bother, in his opinion. All bark and no bite. He'll just stalk past with a disdainful scowl.]

Arrival/Chaos side/Open DON'T MIND ME BEING SLOOWWWW/ LAZY

[bound_skyward]

[That won't do for Kain, who instantly goes into battle mode on seeing the one target he'd hoped to find. He takes to the air at once and makes an attempt to backstab.]

Like I'm not? XD

[ruthlessreaper]

[Enjoy that first stab, because it's probably the only good hit you're going to get. Grunting from the impact, Haseo flicks his hands down and a pair of short swords appear. Far faster to attack with, just how he likes it. There's a smirk from him and he executes a Chaotic Strike, a rapid series of blows meant to barrel an enemy to the ground.]

Arrival/Cosmos side

[for_cosmos]

[The warrior looks around at the stone walls. Yet another thing that was different about this war, that the battles- the ones that were truly important- occurred in a different location. It felt strange to be so unprepared for a battle, yet the only thing to be done was to continue on despite it.

After a moment of simply examining the area, he nods, then calls forth his sword and shield. He holds the blade in front of him for a moment, with his eyes closed, then looks upward.]

May the light guide us.

[mountain_sage]

[Saleh arrives in the cave and studies it carefully. The corridors are rather narrow, which doesn't allow much space for movement. This is not good…]

[He checks his person for his three tomes, and examines the staff in his hands. He then moves along the corridor carefully, hoping he'll run into an ally before he runs into an enemy. Fortunately, before long, he spots the Warrior, with his sword and shield in hand.]

Pardon me…sir…

[It still feels strange without a real name to address the Warrior with.]

[for_cosmos]

[The warrior glances up, ready to battle if whoever is approaching is a warrior of Chaos, but he relaxes slightly when he sees who it is. It doesn't mean that he completely lowers his guard, though. This is still battlefield, and it is difficult to tell where the enemy might be.]

Saleh.

[He notices the hesitation, and can guess the reason for it.]

"Warrior" will suffice.

[mountain_sage]

"Warrior?" Very well.

[A pause.]

I'm grateful to have found you. Shall I join you for this battle?

Arrival// Cosmos// Open

[lightning_fists]

[ And coming up around that corner would be...

Tifa.

The sight of her gloves upon arriving were the first indication that their powers weren't switched this time around, and that's a great comfort to Tifa. But she had showed up alone and nowhere in sight of the crystal, so the barmaid had been hard pressed to find any sign that the others had made it there as well. Either that or work her way towards the center of the field on her own.

Easier said than done.

So excuse her for her failure to notice you until the last second, Firion. Please don't hold it against her for almost running into you. ] - Oh!

Arrival// Cosmos// Open

[lightning_fists]

[ The hand movement didn't go unnoticed, though there was very little she could do to stop it. Still, a possible threat rendered a possible counter act. So the clench of her fists were more of an instinctual thing. Because while she recognized the voice from the Crystal, it was always hard to know or remember which voice belonged to which side. ] Cosmos.

[ The fact that he asked first instead of attacking was some indication to his loyalties. Still, she thought with a small furrow of her brows, it wouldn't have been the first time Chaos enlisted the services of someone who didn't belong there. ] Who do you fight for?
