Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Oh, Sorry, Kuja vanished from there too in the last post. lol. ))

Isabel was..well, freaking out over the sudden disappearance of her daughter from what ever spell he had used. It was a teleport spell, right? It had to be. The fact that she couldn't sense her anymore ether wasn't quite helping her worries. It all happened in such a flash of a second it just had to be some sort of teleport spell, maybe...to another realm? Like that dragon realm perhaps..But he wasn't in league with Deathwing from what she knew. "......The one who healed you was my daughter...I don't know where they went....." She said quickly, before turning away. She had to figure out where she was ported too, and staying here wasn't going to help that. "Please exuse me..." With that, Isabel took off around the side of the mansion, heading off to the stables, where she knew her mother's horse, Solcyi was.


Eve meanwhile, was in the mansion there with Damian. " I don't know, The two of them disappeared from my senses as well. That's probably a good thing, though! " Heck, it was a great relief! At his mention of magic, she thought about the small orbs that most of the people here used, something called Materia. "...You might want to ask the other's here, some of the people here use a item called Materia, this holds magic in them. I can't use them myself, but they could probably help you more on that subject. "

I never thought it could happen to me...
Like the one that gets you..
That you just don't see..
And now I don't want to be free...
I thought it was always to be...
That someone was waiting for me..

Cos it's cold outside...
Yes it's cold outside of your heart...
It's a big world to face all alone...
And I'm begging you now just to come on home...
Cos I, I don't want to be free...
I thought it was always to be...
That someone was waiting for me...
You know that it's you I need..
You see I refuse to believe..
That someone's not waiting for me...

(( OOC: ))

((OOC: I'm just gonna start from where we left off, Rosa. I read the post about the 'raincheck', so I'll start there.))
"Sure thing, Pheonix. See ya 'round!" Trea raised his hand in goodbye as she left, but the more he looked at her, the more he thought of Corey. He stood for a moment, just blinking, then shook it off and walked to the mansion.

Coreys eyes slowly jarred open, and the light was a bit much at first. As his eyes adjusted to his surroundings, he found himself in a very familiar room. He looked around, saw Trea, and the scythe. His head was clogged up, and he felt like he was sent to earth from the moon without a parachute. In short: he had one of the few worthwhile fights in his life.
"... why do I always end up in the couch?"
"Why do you even bother?"
"Bother with what?" Trea got out of the chair, scythe in hand, and made his way across to Corey.
"Look at you: ther'es more blood on your clothes than in your body. I'm sure it's easier to wipe blood off a leather couch than to wash a bed." Trea put the weapon down easily, than stepped away.
"... I guess, but I always wake up with a kink in my neck." Corey started looking around.
"That might be from the werewolf."
"But... what about that time-"
"If you're talking about when you fell through the roof, think: there's a clue in there somewhere." Corey was looking around a bit, now.
"But what... about... whe- allright, where's my coat, first up, I feel naked right now." This was the longest, apart from having a shower, that he's been without his coat, and he was now starting o clamber over the couch. Trea blinked for a moment.
"... your coat's outside, by the mansions east corner." Corey looked at Trea for a moment atop the couch.
"Oh... okay then."

((OOC: lol, someone should walk in on Corey: a blood-soaked teen climbing the couch like a cat ain't too common... even here smile ))

She stood there for a moment, a bit confused at what had just happened. She let her sword disappear from her left hand in a ribbon of darkness. She looked over at Sephiroth with her now sky-blue eyes, clearly not afraid of him. I'm not a kid...I'm a teenager. She didn't care or even notice her black feathery wings were still out, since she was an angel why not show it?

{ T } ifa dreamt sweet dreams at first. She imagined a wholly peaceful place where all of their friends were enjoying a picnic. Cloud, naturally, was sitting next to her, giving her gentle sideways looks and glances of love. His hand gently covering her left which was adorned with the dolphin ring. Everyone was having a good time; laughing and enjoying everyone's company. Cloud looked like he was truly enjoying himself, which made Tifa happy. Towards the end of the evening, they watched fireworks from an unknown source; their sparkling colors mixing with the starry sky. Tifa rested her head on his shoulder in perfect bliss. But then she heard something calling to her, tugging at her core. Without a word she got up and followed its 'voice'. The others in her dream-land didn't seem to notice. She came to an old well like the one from Nibelheim. The voice roared in her head; almost to the point of being painful. Instead of a sweet 'come-hither' it sounded like a monstrous, evil beckoning. She approached the well, and said 'Hello?' in a timid voice. 'Down here.' it answered. And so Tifa looked down into the well. The water rippled and shook with the monster's words. 'You are mine, child. I shall mold you, and control you to do my bidding.' it said in a sinister voice. Then the water cleared, and instead of the beautiful dark-brown hair, the kind red eyes...there stared back at her a monster of herself. Blood dripped from its lips and what looked like Geostigma spread across her forehead. 'I shall use you to destroy your friends, including your precious Cloud, and then you shall be mine.' the voice said maliciously. The reflection in the well grinned, a sinister one full of sharp, blood-stained teeth, at Tifa. Tifa yelled back "Cloud will stop you, and if he must, then he'll stop me! Your plan will fail so just give it up!" she tried to say confidently. 'Ha ha ha! Do you honestly think your dear Knight in Shining Armor will cut down his precious Princess, I will win, believe me!' the voice mockingly said back to her. In her heart, she knew it was right, and that in turn scared her. She ran from the well to go back to her friends, to get help. But when she finally made it back to their picnic spot, a gruesome scene was spread before her, and she saw her monster-self standing there. It had an evil grin on its face, and an almost dead Cloud in its hands. Cloud was trying to reason with it, to remind it that it was Tifa, his Tifa. It only laughed, and tore his heart out in front of her.

Tifa screamed in terror. So much so that she woke up. Her white gown clung to her body with sweat, and she threw her covers off. She ran to the mirror, and even though she was still human, her mind only saw her monster form. She screamed again; a loud, bloodcurdling scream. And ran to find Cloud. She hoped that he was still okay, that it was only a nightmare. But her head hurt and her mind wouldn't work so that she couldn't think reasonably and realize that it all was just a nightmare. But still something inside her knew that the horrible dream had some standing. She made her way to the entrance of the mansion, knowing that Cloud had gone to find Kadaj. But she tripped while going down the stairs leading to the 3rd floor. She tumbled, and landed, hard, on the landing of the 2nd floor. Her ankle had twisted and rolled, but luckily no other damage had been done. But she couldn't get up, and so she just lied there, crying. However, the stairs she ended up using were the smaller ones in the back, the ones that the servants would have used if the mansion had any, instead of the main ones in the front. After a while Tifa stopped hyperventilating, and so she curled up on the first step leading up to the 3rd floor. Her mind had gone numb and dark, and part of it hoped that she would die back there so that whoever that monster was wouldn't be able to use her to hurt her friends. And then she felt the pain in her chest, she looked down the front of the dress, and saw an angry red scar where Kadaj's katana had pierced her. She didn't need to look to know there would be a matching one on the other side where it had exited. But what she did see was that a blackness was slowly spreading across her skin, its focal point being the wound. She knew that this must've been some sort of form of the Geostigma she saw on the monster in her nightmare. She clenched her fists and looked away. "No. I will not succumb to you Jenova. You'll see. I have a family now, we'll defeat this, whatever it is!" she said to herself as she continued to lie on the stairs.

She looked back inside the mansion as she heard some muffled screaming as she was only on the first floor. She headed back into the mansion and managed to find her way threw the halls to the stairs without getting lost in the maze of a place. She went up the stairs "Hello? I heard screaming..." She wasn't sure who it was but she was still concerned about the person.

She headed down the hall to the back stairs seeing her mother Tifa, she rushes down the stairs to her. Hey are you okay? She crouched down next to her, worried about her mother. She noticed her swelling ankle, she gently put her hand over her injured ankle and used a cure to at least help the pain.
