Wondering about towerofanimus...

[crystalsorrow]

I never had the chance to be a mother. I would like to try. He deserves a chance; a real chance and not one that is tainted by experiments.

( She was once a proud scientist. No more. )

Sephiroth... I'm sorry.

[You're being eyed by a 13 year old kid, Lucrecia.]

Sephiroth killed me.

[~Tattling~]

[crystalsorrow]

...did he? I'm so sorry.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Why are you sorry? The guy's a big jerk.

[crystalsorrow]

He had very little good in his childhood. I am to blame for that.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Y'know, I'm just a kid but even I know that's crap. No one person is fully to blame for anything like that.

[crystalsorrow]

This was a special case. I won't go into the details because you are a child. All I can tell you is: stay away from him. For your own sake.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[AHAHA]

See that place you might be goin' to? Don't think ya can beat the stuff that goes on there. But yeah, I avoid him when I can now.

[crystalsorrow]

You're there? What's it like? I haven't been able to research as of yet.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah, been there more'n a year now. It sucks. You can't die there because you'll just wake up the next morning. And you never know what kind of experiments Jason has in store or what games Ruana wants to play. And I can't even explain Riki but he's better than those two and Zo is the best.

[crystalsorrow]

I suppose I will learn more about those...entities?...when and if I arrive.

What is your name?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah, won't be hard to learn what you need.

Name's Tetra. How about you?

[crystalsorrow]

Perhaps you can lend me a hand when the time comes?

I'm Lucrecia Crescent.

[neverbeamemory]

Save your pity for yourself, you're going to need it.

[crystalsorrow]

I have no room to pity myself, Sephiroth.

[guardianlight]

You're looking at the wrong place if you want to parent someone without experiments.

[juuuuust saying.]

[crystalsorrow]

I did not choose the location. If he is there, I should go to him.

[sunfae]

Experiments...?

[ It's not everyday that Elarian gets to be graced by such a lovely woman but she looks a tad despondent, which honestly piques his curiosity. ]

One could hardly believe you to be a mother at such a tender age! You look no older and me.

[ And he's just seventeen! ]

Tell me, whatever is a matter? You clearly seem distressed and in need of a new friend.

[ He smiles. ]

[crystalsorrow]

( Her age is unknown, but yes, she is relatively young. )

It may surprise you even more to know my son is a full grown man. Time works oddly in these places.

( His offer catches her off-guard and she softens. )

I dare not burden you with my past, but thank you for the offer.

[sunfae]

[ Definitely too young and too pretty to be a worry-sick mother, or so he thinks. ]

A full grown man, you say? But you're still a maiden!

[ He chuckles somewhat. ]

Aye, I suppose you've been blessed by Hydaelyn herself to possess eternal youth.

[ Elarian smile fades a little but it was still somewhat there. ]

You are more than welcome, my lady.

[crystalsorrow]

I'm telling the truth. He's grown and strong - far stronger than I am.

( Not that she knows that outside of Dear Mun. )

Hydaelyn? Is she a goddess?

( Lucrecia looks like she wants to tell him, but she stops herself. )

Everyone has regrets. Mine are just...bigger.

[sunfae]

I'm almost curious as of who this "Sephiroth" is now.

[ A curiosity that would surely lead him to an untimely demise if he keeps flirting with Sephiroth's mother. ]

You don't know of Hydaelyn, my lady? She's the Goddess of the Crystal and the Bringer of Light. Her presence alone is what makes my world strive even during its hour of darkness.

[ He blinks his eyes owlishly. ]

That is most certainly true, but you're far too fair to have such regrets. Surely there's a way for you to make amends.

[crystalsorrow]

You might see him around. He is...quite tall with long silver hair and bright green eyes.

( The effects of Mako and experimentation have molded Sephiroth's form, however there are attributes that harken back to Lucrecia. )

I do not, but I am curious about her. ( She listens intently, nodding when he finishes. ) You are blessed to have her.

...there might be. The place my Mun is looking is the home of my son's...younger self. There is a chance I could...

( Start over. Try again. )

I want to be a real mother to him.

[sunfae]

[ Silver hair and green eyes?

Surely this woman's son gets such odd features from his father. Even within his realm of Eorzea such features were quite rare if not unheard of; especially the silver hair. ]

I suppose your son took after his "father", yes?

[ He furrows his brows a little. How is he suppose to compete against some fellow with silver hair and striking green eyes? Hopefully this young mother is already divorce. ]

Then I urge you to go there! Don't pass this opportunity to be with your son if you can help it. Now is not the time to linger in self-pity, but rather to uplift your spirits!

[crystalsorrow]

...no, he... His father had dark hair and dark eyes. Sephiroth's features are due to the...experiments...he underwent as a child.

Those experiments are...one of my regrets. ( She should have shielded him and protected him. She was a horrible mother. ) You're absolutely correct. I won't let the opportunity pass me by. Not this time.

[sunfae]

[ Judging from the young mother's tone, those "experiments" were far more than just that. He could sense that much at least without knowing the full scope of her story. ]

I can...only imagine. [ He forces a smile to his face. ] Nevertheless, I wish you "Good Luck" on your endeavors.

I'm more than certain that you'll do what's necessary to correct what has been wronged. Your son shall thank you for it.

[crystalsorrow]

( They were...yes. Horrible. She wasn't even able to hold her son before he was taken away. )

Thank you for the sentiment. ( Her cheeks pink and she looks away, bringing a hand to her lips. ) I don't deserve his thanks. I only want his happiness.

[sunfae]

Then let his happiness be your top priority, dear lady.

[ Elarian's cheerful smile from earlier returned once more. ]

Tell me, what is your name? I cannot believe we forgot to introduce ourselves.

[crystalsorrow]

I shall. He deserves that...and... ( She nods, determined. ) I want to be around him. He is the only child I ever had.

( Her eyes widen and she smiles back. )

I'm Lucrecia Crescent.

[sunfae]

Greetings, Miss Crescent.

[ He bows towards her elegantly. ]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance despite the somewhat troubling topic at hand.

[ The young scholar is all smiles now. It would seem that his ploy to cheer this poor damsel-in-distress has worked. ]

I'm Elarian Faelivrin, at your service.

[liveandforgive]

[mother... this was the woman that was sealed away, the one whose binds to Vincent and evidently, Sephiroth, ran very deep. if it wasn't for her...no- that wasn't it at all. he only had Sephiroth to blame for the sins he committed]

You might be too late.

[crystalsorrow]

Why do you say that? ( As if she doesn't already know. Here, at least. )

[liveandforgive]

[for someone whose developed such a close (spitefully so) connection with her son, he can't help but feel out of place for saying this to her. was it even his place to warn her?]

Because you're not his mother anymore.

Maybe if he wasn't from the future...before he found out the truth...

[crystalsorrow]

He doesn't accept me as his mother anymore, but I am the one who gave birth to him.

( She knows the truth and she will hold onto it. )

There is a much younger version of him there. There's...hope.

[liveandforgive]

Hope...



The world could always use some more of that. Just...be careful.
