~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Not again... why her? Just why? This was beyond embarrassment, it didn't even occur to her that she'd be standing anywhere near the Golden Saucer any time soon. Did somebody hate her? It wasn't a matter of actually being here, it was a matter of who she was going to enter here with. 2nd Class SOLDIER, Kyrie, quite a young addition to the elite group of warriors, had no idea why this had been arranged. Apparently Director Lazard said that she and a few others had been working too hard and needed a break, so what did he do? He tells them to go to the Golden Saucer and have fun. Fun!? What did he know about fun? 'Them' being three 1st Class SOLDIERs, she could barely handle one!
She stood outside the entrance, tugging her white beanie over her head a little more, looking quite awkward. Her attire consisted of a white dress with black lace around the hem and small heeled black shoes, her hair was tied half up in a side ponytail with a simple white ribbon tied into a bow. At least this time she was allowed to dress herself, not being forced to wear a revealing outfit or have some crazy woman make her look all cute-like.
Kyrie shuddered at the experience, but more so at the fact she'd been 'hanging out' with three 1st Class' which most people would be overjoyed by, except her. The SOLDIER General, Sephiroth. The LOVELESS fanatic, Genesis Rhapsodos. And then there was someone she had never even met, all she knew was just one name, Elstan... whom was apparently a 1st? Why had she never heard or met her?
She didn't ponder it for long, all that she knew was that she'd be spending the rest of the day with them. It was some time in the afternoon, 3:37pm to be exact, she didn't know if there was a specific time of meeting, but either way she was the first one there, just waiting and looking around. She noticed children, happy couples, and even family walking through the entrance.
Reaching into her little black bag, she pulled out a leaflet of the amusement park along with four tickets to enter, costing around three thousand gil each though she didn't mind paying for everyone to enter, she never really had much use of her money anyway. Opening the leaflet, she began to have a bit of a read, thinking of where everyone would like to go and when.
So as she stood there, all that was left was to wait for the others.

Elstan really didn't care much for this 2nd class SOLDIER. However, she did invite, Sephiroth, Genesis and herself to the Gold Saucer. It took ages for Elstan to get ready, finally she picked out some fashion torn black skinny jeans, a mesh crop top, a feathered shrug and some black canvas shoes. Elstan slipped her skull finger armour ring on her left index finger and placed her spiked dog collar around her neck. At last she was ready. To be honest it was a great excuse to get out of work for a few hours. Elstan made sure she had enough Gil to pay for drinks and food for everyone. Elstan arrived on her motorcycle, which was custom made. She killed the engine, kicked out the stand and dismounted. She saw little kids, families, couples and friends running and walking to the entrance. Elstan sighed and flicked her silver hair behind her shoulders. The 1st class SOLDIER took off her sunglasses and folded them onto the neck of her shirt. When she got to the entrance, Elstan saw a girl, she looked like she was waiting for someone. "Hey, you, are you Kyrie?" she asked, her voice sounding rather bored. Elstan lit up a cigarette and leant against a lamppost, casually.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Just as Kyrie was about to turn the page to the small leaflet, she heard someone call her name, whoever it was sure didn't sound interested or even enthusiastic. She looked up from the leaflet, her eyes widening slightly at the sight before her, now Kyrie didn't know what to think. "U... uhm, yes, I'm Kyrie, a 2nd Class," she said, her voice soft and calm, though mentioning she was a 2nd Class to everyone, well, it wasn't disheartening, just annoying. Since when did ranks ever matter? A rank makes a person a somebody?
Closing the leaflet and placing it back in her bag, she stood up presentably though making sure not to be too formal. "You must be the other 1st Class, Elstan... I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've ever met, and I've never heard anyone mention you..." she said awkwardly, hoping not to offend the silver haired woman. How do you talk to someone you hardly have knowledge about?
Not knowing what else to do, Kyrie just began nibbling on her silver chain around her neck, twiddling the Banora White charm between her fingers, tapping her foot ever so often. Forcing on a smile, Kyrie laughed nervously as she attempted conversation.
"So, uh... aheheh, and they say women are fashionably late, huh? Aheh..."

Elstan rolled her eyes. "Look kid I came here because Lazard wanted me to relax." She said, "I don't know if my so called brother will turn up, he's a pain in the backside." She said and got out Romeo and Juliet from her bag and sighed. "Sometimes stories come true..." She muttered, her thoughts wondering to Genesis. She was beginning to worry, but didn't show it.
The minutes dragged on and Elstan threw the butt of her cigarette on the ground. "You haven't heard of me, because I mainly do the whole silent killing around SOLDIER. I'm what some people call an assassin." The silver haired girl explained. She got out her phone and sent Sephiroth and Genesis a message telling them to hurry up or they would find tarantulas in their beds, or in Genesis' case she would 'accidentally' burn his copy of LOVELESS. "Urgh I'm sick of waiting for those morons." She grumbled and got out another cigarette and offered one to Kyrie.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kyrie felt a pang of annoyance as the silver haired woman referred to her as 'kid', did she waste her time telling Elstan her name if that was how she was going to address her? She gracefully held hers hands together, twiddling her thumbs together as she stood a small ways away from Elstan, not enjoying the smell of the smoke that was coming out of her cigarette and mouth.
She let out a light but small laugh. "Yeah, he said the same to me, too... apparently I work too hard," she smiled lightly, hoping the conversation would get somewhere "y'know, as a matter of fact, my mentor is a 1st, maybe you've heard of her? Then again, she's the loner type, but she's nice, kinda reminds me of Angeal," she placed the back of her hand to her pale pink lips, giggling softly at how much the two had in common.
"Her name's Faith Nightscar, she tells me that soon I will be tested to see if the Director thinks I'd be good enough for 1st..." she spoke normally, she didn't exactly sound thrilled to the point where she'd make an idiot out of herself, though it struck her as odd as to why she was even saying this to Elstan. Probably just to keep the conversation going.
She stood there in silence for a while, then Elstan began to speak again. It caught her interest slightly that she mentioned she was an assassin. "Oh... I see," she murmured, soon crossing her arms and looking up at the sky, there wasn't much she could say about that. Elstan made one last comment before Kyrie's eyes started to become distant, wondering about the life of a SOLDIER as she waited, waving her hand at Elstan's offer, rejecting the cigarette. Why so much bloodshed? Why did people have to die every day because of them? She never understood it...
Hopefully today would take her mind off it.

It was in the late afternoon and a fierce auburn-haired gentleman wondered the crowded roads that lead up to the Golden Saucer, it was a warm day, but not warm enough for Genesis to change into anything more revealing or light. It would take his character away and personality, or at least that's what he thought. His light-weight black trench coat blew in the breeze that continuously danced, with every step he could feel the air rush under his smart, polished boots and running across his dark pants. A warm scarf kept hugging his perfectly peerless throat as it too, flickered in the breeze, his blue shirt pressed against his chest showing his toned figure that had been expressed to the public.
Such a man drew attention to himself due to how he was dressed, most were wearing light clothing considering it would be much warmer later on though Genesis was sceptically about such weather and preferred to keep things simple. If it were to rain or grow colder later he would be okay for attire but if the weather desired to keep on its apparent allotted course he also had no qualms to merely hold his jacket over his shoulder. However it was undeniable it was a lovely night and one he would remember for it had been a very, very long time since he had been given a break-off-work type deal from Lazar. A detestable character to Genesis' mind but thoughtful none the less if he also gave time to his colleagues as well as himself, for once he want given a task to go out and defend territory or to destroy enemies rather him spending time with those he was happy to share company with.
His hands filled the content of his jacket's pockets as he made his way down to the entrance. Out of the many figures that caught his eyes from those who dressed with chocabo attire from hats, shirts, pants and even equipment and toys either won from side attractions or stores from within the gigantic theme park. Then he saw, two figures in the distance and both very familiar, the first was a young woman reading a leaflet and conversing with the other that had finished a smoke. The first he guest was Kyrie from how she dressed and had a habit of wearing the color white due to her suspected superstition of it being an innocent color, especially on her. Such a thought entertained Genesis even when they were younger, but he had to admit the color white was an excellent color on her.
Then there was his beloved Elstan a woman of unpredictability both good and bad with never a dull moment in store, not only that but her sense of being and passion for what she believes in, it was a strength to Genesis' eyes and something he also admired. He felt a constituency of happiness and nausea knowing Sephiroth would be here considering a mass notification was sent out to his cell phone and Sephiroth's. He made his way to the pair of them with the smallest smile on his face only those with an uncanny eye sense could identify.

_____________________________________________________________________
This was... Just downright unnecessary. Returning to the Gold Saucer so soon after he'd been there with Kyrie... And it was supposedly some leave forced upon him by Lazard. The moment the SOLDIER Director had suggested he go on the said leave, of course the Hero had immediately rejected the offer. Knowing Genesis would be there had been a bit of an unwelcome thought, and then that woman... He felt a surge of disapproval. This so called "younger sister" of his... She was too reckless and her line of work was what caused his disapproval. Killed and carrying out missions from the shadows was something he didn't think Shin-ra would ever need to do; it was such a lowly way to take out enemies... But they apparently had needed some assassins, for whatever reason. Elstan herself was worth a bit of his attention, and he'd long since decided not to let her line of work cause animosity between them. It wasn't until Lazard mention Kyrie would be there as well, then he gave in to the man. The Director had been wearing a sort of bemused smile as he mention Kyrie's name; and it took a great deal of effort on his part to maintain his stony-faced indifference. Seemed like Lazard already suspected he and Kyrie were more than friends, but he wouldn't give the nosy guy the satisfaction of proving his suspicions.
So here he was, about to dismount as the private helicopter began to descend to the ground below. From the small window, he could see Kyrie standing there, looking lovely as usual. As the chopper touched down, Elstan joined Kyrie; and he felt a surge of irritation at the fact that she was smoking near Kyrie. It was blindingly obvious that Kyrie wasn't interested in breathing secondhand smoke, Elstan was just being so inconsiderate and unobservant of that fact. He felt the irritation dissolve into actual anger as the girl offered Kyrie one of the damned things, and made a note to tell Elstan when he got the chance to keep those foul things away from Kyrie and anyone else who wasn't interested in ruining their lungs, or shortening their lives, or risking lung cancer... There were so many things running through his head on what to say to her, but he was distracted from those thoughts as another familiar face showed up. Genesis had arrived, without that flashy crimson coat for once. He himself was in his usual attire; black leather trench coat, etc. He was in no mood to dress up nicely for this. Besides, this was leave, a "break" for him that he didn't need. He had no reason to get all prettied up.
The helicopter finally touched down, and he slid the side door open to get out of the thing. The air whipped up by the whirling propellers immediately set his silver hair and back coat into motion; flapping around him as he moved away. Once he was clear, the SOLDIER General turned to wave clearance to the pilot; who gave a thumbs up and began to lift off again. Once the chopper was back in the air, Sephiroth turned back to the three who were waiting for him; and grudgingly made his way through the milling crowds toward them. As usual; stares, gasps, fainting woman, and murmurs began to follow. But he seemed to be radiating an air of irritation, anyone near knew full well that he was in no mood to be bothered. Perhaps it was the aggressive stance was was holding, or maybe that expressionless mask of a face. Either way, people cleared a path for him until he reached the others. He had half a mind to "accidentally" knock the cigarette pack out of Elstan's hand, but he decided not to. Last thing he needed was a fight to break out here with civilians all over. And in his current mood, there would be no guarantee that innocent bystanders wouldn't be hurt. This was supposed to be a break, he didn't feel like bringing forth the Masamune at that time.
The intimidating silver-haired man nodded a greeting to both Elstan and Genesis, then approached Kyrie; the cold look in his eyes softening ever so slightly. He took Kyrie's hand into his, then bent slightly kiss the back of the hand. "You look very nice today, as usual..." He murmured, ignoring the other two for the time being. Let them stare, let them figure out what was going on between him and Kyrie... He didn't give a damn by this point; such was his commitment to her. If the entire world looked upon them with disapproval, so what? He'd had just about enough of Fame, becoming less popular would only serve as a relief to him. And fame wasn't what made him unmatched in swordsmanship. So he'd still be ready to wield the unnaturally long weapon and shield Kyrie from any ill-wishers.
ooc: Eh, sorry about crappy post. -_-

The silver haired woman yawned, rather boredly. "Well I suppose getting to know another woman won't do me no harm." Elstan said and smiled and Kyrie. When she spotted Genesis her eyes lit up, but she didn't move. At least her little 'problem' won't be surfacing today.
Her 'brother' arrived and she just didn't pay any attention to him, that was when she saw him kiss Kyrie's hand. "Awww wittle Sephy has a soft side." She giggled. "I'm only teasin." She added before she got a slap from Sephiroth. She didn't want that. "Right does anyone need the bathroom before we go in, because I'm warning ya, I'm not stopping once we've entered, well unless its something of the alcohol nature."
Elstan went to the nearest ladies restroom. She was just washing her hands when somebody pointed a gun to her head. The restroom was empty, apart from herself and this other woman. Elstan sighed and turned around. She twisted the woman's arm, disarming her. "Please don't ruin my day with my friends." She said simply and walked out.
"Sorry for the wait, I had to deal with something. And before you say anything Sephiroth, I merely disarmed the chick in self-defence." She said as she walked up to the other three. Elstan messed with the link on her dog collar, then chuckled lightly to herself. "You do realise I put this on for a reason right, Genesis?" She giggled. She had, had too much energy drink this morning. "Oh Kyrie, Genesis, Sephiroth, don't worry about food and drink I'm buying." She said. She looked at Kyrie and smiled warmly, and put her lips to Kyrie's ear. "Just so you know, Lazard sent me here to... Tame the beast within." Elstan said, seriously then began to walk to the entrance.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kyrie could see Genesis approach them, wearing an attire expected of him, the long scarf truly complimented the whole outfit... though somehow it looked all too familiar to her. She stood there with her head tilt, feeling a bit like a kid again with her hands behind her back, her waist length brunette and silver streaked hair falling over her shoulder, she smiled lightly. "Hello, Genesis," she spoke softly - naturally, trying hard not to call him her nickname for him, which was slightly embarassing, her tone became a little playful "duties before fun, I see, and men say women are fashionably late, aheheheh."
It wasn't long before a certain silver haired General followed soon after, travelling in style, as usual. Typical city folk, Kyrie had a hunch that Genesis had walked all the way here, just like herself. As she was entertaining the thought, Kyrie then felt her hand being held, soft and gentle lips pressing against it, her eyes twitched open a little wider before relaxing, but what was he doing!? She bit her lip, softly yet awkwardly as she meaningfully but slowly pulled her hand away from his, faking a laugh.
"Hehehe... uhm, thank you," she smiled, averting her gaze to a nearby hotdog stand, there was nothing specific nor special about it, she just wanted something to distract her for the moment. As she calmed down a little, she turned her attention back to the others, noticing Sephiroth's attire fully this time, feeling a little disappointed in his attire "you didn't make an effort? Oooh, bad form, bad form, indeed."
She shook her head in mock disappointment, smiling a little to show she wasn't being hard on him neither was she mad. Just as Elstan asked about using the bathroom, Kyrie remembered the tickets. "Oh! That reminds me!" she smiled, digging into her little black bag and taking out four tickets which had to be kept around your wrists like bracelets at all times, she handed them one each "I took the liberty in getting us the tickets, it was no problem."
Quickly, she applied it around her wrist then Elstan made her way to the toilets, Kyrie had already gone so she stayed where she was. She just stood there, minding her own business and waiting, it was quite swiftly Elstan soon returned, though mentioned she had a little problem involving someone which included disarming them, or her, as she mentioned. Kyrie couldn't help but feel a little nervous now, she didn't want there to be any drama today, wasn't this meant to be a fun day? But none the less, she still kept her weapon on her at all times for her to summon, walking into the Golden Saucer armed would not be a good idea, plus she had no intentions on scaring small children.
It was then Kyrie felt a shiver down her spine at the unexpected contact of Elstan's breath against her ear as she spoke. Tame the beast? What did that even mean? Soon Kyrie was beginning to not enjoy herself and the day hadn't even started! This was an inappropriate place for fighting to take place, plus so many innocent lives would be a stake.
"U-uhm, well... hopefully there won't be any problems," she chuckled nervously, attempting to smile before coming to her sense "uh, anyway! Today is still young, and we're standing around wasting it, let's go now, alright?"
And with that, she turned on her heel and walked through the entrance, showing her wristband-like ticket. She wanted today to go well, for it to go smoothly without anything bad happening...
But why did she have such a bad feeling about today?

Genesis had already made his way swiftly to the group that stood in front of the entrance, murmuring had appeared behind him which could only mean Sephiroth had made his appearance. Releasing a sigh the auburn-haired youthful male shook his head in disagreement. The only reason Genesis changed was to go under the radar of the public, today he hoped was going to be a calm, fun and perhaps even refreshingly unexpected. He supposed even that was too much to ask for but come-what-may he would attempt to have a good time after all it wasn't every day he was forced out of work to have apparent "fun". As such he tucked his hands deeper into the confines of his pocket, his short-to-medium lengthy hair blew gracefully in the wind along with his coat as if he was a knight from a fantasy novel, or perhaps even the innocents of a romance of an unsuspecting hero that would come into play and help those around him, still it was just his figure but none the less even he was happy how he pulled it off and without his original outfit. Which brought up the question, didn't Sephiroth the hero of the people have something else to wear a part from those dreg cloths he lugs around, even in battle or casual affair.
A chuckle huffed from his soft lips, he closed his gentle eyes and was left in thought for only a moment. A time long enough to wonder what Sephiroth would wear if he was given the opportunity or perhaps even the chance and mood.
Genesis had made contact with the two females that stood in front of him and a simple, small edged smile was still curved at the side of his lightly skin pink lips that fell naturally with his facial color, today he tried for once to look good, it would be the first time himself and Elstan would go out casually and if the time came. It would also be the first time he had ever been out with a girl that wasn't on official business, perhaps the rest would know what was happening between himself and Elstan, perhaps not. It was those thoughts of running behind corners, having a tender moment with him and Elstan and then running back to rejoin Sephiroth and Kyrie, although it was curious that Sephiroth was going out with us in the first place as well as this 2Nd class SOLDIER. He wasn't bias against the thought, in fact he knew Kyrie on a personal level due to their history together, after all it was the scarf she made for him whilst they were still in Banora many years ago.
"Hello you two, it's good to see you both once more." His voice was poetic as always but kept the lilt he was so famous for possessing, he saw Elstan and smiled lightly, then giving Kyrie a casual nod along with Sephiroth's approach he also responded with such a nod that only professionals gave each other, the wrist bands were given to each and every one of them for entry of the Golden Saucer, the mentioning of Kyrie paying for them allowed Genesis to thank her his a glance of his eyes, he never really reacted to others by comments but sutler body language and expressions of the face unless the power of speech was necessary. Elstan had disappeared to the toilets which gave Genesis enough time to scan the surroundings, call it suspicion but he had a habit of doing such things, being a very perceptive individual it was required for SOLDIERs to have such feats and abilities but for Genesis it was merely moral play to examine others as they walked past.
He wasn't shocked however that Sephiroth and Kyrie were together, that fact was given well away when his approach towards her was fickle and without a care. Perhaps a weakness of attempting to gain the moral high ground of not giving a damn, but that sort of attitude does tend to give Sephiroth grief with others, Genesis shook his head once more at the thought placing a gentle right index finger against his forehead. Will he ever learn? Really... Elstan took a few minutes before coming back to the group, the fact that she had gotten into heated aggressive negotiations only gave prospective that she had confrontation within the toilets, at a children's theme park. Such things amazed him and with a mere expression of a perked brow he watched Elstan make her way to the entrance.
He followed of course and swiftly at that, after Kyrie he scanned his wrist band and entered the park's entrance to be welcomed by the vision of a gigantic tower with titan-like pillars stretching off into the distance of the ever wavering mid-afternoon, the lights lit up the place like a Christmas tree, everywhere you saw were happy faces, families, couples, children and adult a like entered and exited the area with what they paid for, happiness and excitement. Everything the group needed was here from entertainment to restaurants to even a hotel to stay the night. Such a place was impressive, even for Genesis' tastes, he had only heard of the Golden Saucer but never been. He knew he would have to say with the group but his childish nature was showing and he just wanted to run off and disappear within the crowds.
"What do you think we should do first hmmm?" he was much more interactive and excited, it seemed out of character for him but most of the time it was business, so it would also be refreshing for most, his smile however only grew and his eyes lit up like that of the lights they shone ever vast-natured on the towers surface. Today was going to be a fun day and spoiled for choice he hoped their first activity would be a fun one at that, his thoughts of Sephiroth's seriousness disappeared as easily as the passing breeze, his only thoughts now was the enjoyment of the group and what they were going to get on first.

(Due to Elstan's demonic form she has certain voices in her head hope that's ok if not I will change my post)
When Elstan walked into the theme park, the voice of her Master called to her. "No. I don't want any work today." She mumbled and grasped Genesis's hand tightly. Ever since returning from her mission a few days ago, Elstan had been plagued with this voice. She couldn't just ignore it, but it was making her feel sick. Elstan... You need to be at the Northern Crater. You species doesn't have time for recreational things... COME NOW! it said. Elstan banged her fist into a nearby street lamp making a small indentation. The girl breathed hard. "I'm sorry." She said to the others and let go of her beloved's hand.
She parted away from the group and went to the bar. "Whiskey please." She ordered. The barman gave her, her drink and she downed it in one and ordered another. Since becoming this thing she had been so different. She let the screams of the theme park goers relax her. A massive roller coaster was nearby so she queued up for it. All she wanted was just one day of being normal. Just one. Was that too much to ask?
