The beginning...

Character(s): Sephiroth, Resistance members
Content: The plot thickens!
Setting: An abandoned warehouse
Time: Midnight
Warnings: Plotting, cursing likely, fighting possible. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The scene: A smallish empty warehouse, no larger than a hangar for a two-seat aircraft. Several small, empty crates, loose boards, and other such detritus have been arranged into passable, if slightly uncomfortable, seating. At the center of the room stands a small table with a projector, of the sort one might see in a classroom. There is a small bucket with many different colored markers sitting nearby, along with what looks to be a barstool.

Standing by that projector, waiting, Sephiroth watched the entrance. The windows had long since been covered, presumably by the gypsies, and there was a large screen at the open end of the room.

Gone was the easygoing man who had so easily handed over his sword at the fairground gate. There was nothing easy in the rigid military stance, the hard-set, glowing, glacial eyes, or that scowl. This was the precursor, if he was right, to war.

And a general is never easygoing in front of the troops.

A signal had been sent out to those he had spoken to, and those who were deemed trustworthy enough to know of this meeting. He was expecting quite an unique group, one which would necessarily be sworn to the highest secrecy.

There would, inevitably, be loose lips. He knew and expected this.

The question was, would his countermeasures be enough? There were four distinct seating areas, and... well, to say more would give away the game.

Sephiroth stood, and waited. The appointed hour drew near.

After wandering through back alleys for a solid fifteen minutes - it wasn't as though she'd ever been in this part of the city before, after all - Rosette finally managed to find the warehouse housing the meeting. Pushing the door open, she made sure Chrno was with her and entered.

And stared. There wasn't a single face here that she knew, and - was that the Grim Reaper? Seriously? Everybody else seemed to think it was normal enough - they were even talking with him, for goodness' sake - maybe he was...part of this whole thing? She didn't know, and at this point, she wasn't going to question it. Too much.

After several seconds of staring in complete shock at the walking talking skeleton, she snapped out of it and, finding Picchu, made her way across the warehouse to stand with her. It took her longer than it normally would have, she noted with dissatisfaction. She still hadn't gotten all her strength back yet. Hopefully it wouldn't matter as much here.

Chrno stayed close - protectively so - to Rosette as they not only walked through the alley but also entered the room. The different people were confusing, but unsurprising. He didn't expect to see so many people, but the number was rather comforting. Death was noticed but wasn't regarded in the same way Rosette regarded him: Chrno was a demon, after all, and had encountered worse when he was working with Aion.

He pushed through the crowd after Rosette, determined to not lose her admist the people, which was difficult considering he was shorter than she was. "Rosette!" He exclaimed, reaching out to snag onto her arm gently, mainly to help keep tabs on her as they weaved through the crowd.

No way he was losing her again.

Once they found Picchu, Chrno let go, and resumed paying attention to his surroundings, keeping close tabs on Rosette in the process.
