Jenna: *tilts her head in curiousity as she listens to the boy. She finds his comment about not wanting to go outside to relieve himself strange and shrugs* I do not see why you that would pose a problem. Especially for a male like you. All your type need to do is unzip your pants in order to urinate. *she shakes her head and shrugs once more to herself then leans back against a few of the boxes. However, her relaxed state is soon interrupted by the smack of the pillow. Jenna blinks in bewilderment then stares at Sephiroth* Why did you attack me?
The assistant nods at Hojo and scurries off to make preparations to capture the woman as well. The tape would also have flashes of Jenna with her wings out in the open as she was showing them off to Sephy. These images were soon followed by Seph receiving the one wing that Hojo and his team had examined throughout the morning.
Another technician rushes into Hojo’s office in a panic. “Sir, all the feathers that we took from Sephiroth have begun to melt!”
Sephiroth: *shrinks back as he realizes Jenna found no humor in being smacked with a pillow* Sorry… it was just for fun. I’m sorry if I hurt you. *puts the pillow down and fumbles with the corner of it, seeming a little nervous*
Hojo: *stares in wonderment at the video footage featuring interaction between Jenna and Sephiroth. He seems amazed as Jenna exposes her wings to the camera and gives Sephy his own wing* That is incredible… *he loudly hisses as he is interrupted by the technician* The feathers are melting? Put them in formaldehye, then! *growls* Or any other preserving solution you can think of. We must keep some for archiving purposes, they are very important to this project. Understand??
Jenna: *Blinks as she takes in what Seph had told her. She stares at him for a moment then at the pillow* “For fun”..? *after thinking for another fe moments, the sorceress reaches back behind herself and slowly picks up a soft down-filled pillow. Soon afterwards, she lighly wacks Seph with the pillow, solely desiring to return his fun*
The assistant quickly shakes his heat at Hojo’s suggestion. “Even the ones that we had in preservation liquids are melting, sir. It is as if they are breaking down at the molecular level.”
Sephiroth: *doesn’t see the pillow coming and flops onto his side, loudly giggling as he is knocked over* You’re a cheater! *picks up his pillow again and whacks her in the arm with it once more*
Hojo: *loudly snarls* Take pictures of their deterioration and preserve whatever you can. *sits down at his desk and grumbles to himself, thinking that today has gone very badly indeed. He sits by the phone, waiting for any news on his escaped subject*
Jenna: *grins as Sephiroth smacks her once more. She enjoys the fact that she’s giving him fun more than she is the actual game. Personally, the game is less than entertaining to her, but she could put her own needs behind herself with ease. So, she continues to whack the boy with the pillow, being careful not to hurt him too much* You’re the one who struck me first boy. Fair is fair.
The assistant nods and quickly scurries out of the office. There is a lot of noise in the adjoining lab as the few night shift workers. Hojo would easily hear the clanking of glass and splashing of liquids as the assistants attempt to salvage the feathers. Unfortunately, since the wing had never been real and Jenna’s spell was temporary, all their efforts are in vain.
Sephiroth: *whacks her a few more times, then gives up, putting his hands out to protect himself* Yes, it’s fair. I surrender! You win. *grins and snickers to himself for a moment, seeming rather curious as he sees feathers on the ground that were knocked out of his pillow. It has a small hole along the seam it was filled with, but he does not know that yet* I think there’s an animal living in here with us.
Hojo: *growls at the noises coming from the lab, and he mutters to himself that he has a team of incompetents to work with. He remains seated by the phone and stares out the window, half admiring his experiment’s successful attempt at leaving*
Jenna: *notices that boy has surrendered and triumphantly smirks* I hope you had the fun that you wanted. *she playfully tosses the pillow at him, intending to let him use it. Then, she notices that he is commenting and looking at the feathers on the ground. The sorceress shakes her head and chuckles at the boy* No, there is no animal in here, young one. Those feathers are from the pillow. Open it up and look inside. They are filled with feathers that assist in making it soft and comfortable. *Meanwhile, Seph’s single wing would be vanishing out of existence*
The noise in the lab finally quiets down as the assistants begin to realize that all their efforts in vain. So, one decides to search Sephiroth’s cell for any clues as to where the boy had went while the other walks back in Hojo’s lab. He holds out the container with the last surviving feather, which is also rapidly disappearing, to the scientist then softly speaks. “I am sorry sir. We tried everything, but they are too unstable.”
Sephiroth: *pulls at the seam of the pillow and whacks it with his hands, sending a torrent of feathers into the air. He loudly chuckles and blows them away from himself, grinning up at Jenna* They must have killed a lot of animals to get this many feathers.
Hojo: *growls and bangs his fists on the desk* This is useless!! *snarls* Gather whatever footage you can of the child and learn all you can. We’ll find it, but the longer it is away from the lab, the weaker it could become. He is almost dependant on some of the medications we give him, so he must be returned at all costs. Understand!?
Jenna: *covers her mouth with her right hand and chuckles at Sephiroth’s antics. Normally, such silly behavior would only receive her scorn, but somehow, she found that the boy’s openness in expressing himself to be undeniably enjoyable. Perhaps, she found such entertainment in his ways because she had never had the chance to openly play herself as a child. Maybe, she just liked seeing him revel in his new found freedom. Either way, it was quite fun. However, her chuckles quickly die out as she hears Sephiroth’s inquiry. She becomes very stoic and serious and simply nods her head* Yes, humans have a tendency to kill things in mass numbers. At least with these creatures, they also eat the flesh.
The lab assistant loudly gulps then rushes out of Hojo’s office. The man is in such a hurry to get away from Hojo and follow through with his orders, that he fails to take the specimin jar with the remains of the last feather with him.
Meanwhile, the second assistant is tearing through Sephiroth’s cell. He searches for anything that may be of use or interest.
Sephiroth: What are they feathers from? *digs his hand into the pillow and pulls out another handful of downy feathers, noticing they have a slight yellow colouration to them* Whatever it is, it was for keeping the animal warm. And it sure won’t be needing them where it’s gone.
Jenna: *shakes her head at Sephiroth’s question* No, it will not need it now. The animal is long dead. They don’t pluck feathers off live animals, boy.
Sephiroth: *stuffs the handful the handful of feathers back into the pillow and lays it down on the makeshift bed, laying his head down on it, curling up* This place is a lot less sterile than the lab, but it’s a much wider open space and I like it more… there’s not a glaring light overhead all the time.
Hojo: *busies himself with sending security guards out into Midgar’s sectors, also authorizing the use of the flood lamps that are fixated on the top floors of the Shinra building. Some of the floodlights would probably sweep across the warehouse at some point, but nobody comes to check out the warehouse yet*
Jenna: *shrugs as she listens to Sephiroth’s statement* It is better than that laboratory, I agree. Still, it’s not the best place availble. I’ll bring you someplace safer tomorrow. *moves to lie down next to Sephiroth, mostly because they’re sharing the same make-shift bed* I only took you here because I knew it was safe and it was already quite late. *pats his upper arm* Just get some sleep.
Sephiroth: *tries to huddle up against Jenna’s legs* Alright. It’s cold in here… really really cold. Is there a blanket or something? Whenever it was cold in the lab, I would just hide under a big thick blanket. It beat trying to put up with the air conditioning…
Jenna: I haven’t seen any blankets… but. *makes her cape appear out of her sub-space pocket then drapes it over the two of them. She then pats Seph’s back and hums to him* Now, try to get some sleep.
Seph: *huddles up under the blanket and soon falls asleep, despite the distant noises of helicopters overhead*
Jenna: *Remains awake for an hour after Sephiroth had fallen asleep. Eventually, she decides to allow herself to drift into a light sleep. So, she closes her eyes and curls up. Since she isn’t too deeply asleep, she’d wake up at the first signs of trouble, or the first signs of Seph waking up himself*
Sephiroth: *sleeps for the entire night and well into the morning if he is undisturbed. His sleep is rather peaceful and heavy for once, as he is warm underneath Jenna’s cloak and he had nothing on his mind to bother him before he lay down to rest*
Jenna: *Groans as she stirs for the day at nearly 7 am the next day. She releases a large yawn before bumping into Sephiroth’s sleeping form.* Huh? *she takes a moment to focus her eyes then recalls the events from the night before* Oh, yes… *So, the woman stands up and pulls her cape away from the boy to properly place it on. Once that is done, she gently nudges Sephiroth with her boot* Hey, boy. Wake up. We’d best get moving.
Sephiroth: *is a little grumpy as he is woken up and slowly sits up, unhappy* Do we have to…? *rubs his eyes and yawns* Where are we going now, ma’am? *shivers slightly* It’s cold here…
Jenna: *looks up and thinks for a moment before looking back at Sephiroth* We are going to head to the lower level. I’m certain I can find an appropriate orphanage that will take you in down there. Or some mother who had recently lost her child or who wants another child… There’s bound to be something there.
Sephiroth: An orphanage? *deeply frowns* Hojo will re-adopt me if I do that… you can’t take me there, they’ll just get me back. Think of something else. *looks miserable* Make sure the people are nice if you place me with somebody else… I don’t want to be beaten again.
Jenna: *Frowns in thought* Yes, I suppose you’re right. At the least, there are stores and restraunts down there that we can get you things from. Now, come. *she strolls toward the exit*
Sephiroth: Where are we going to go, then? *quickly follows after Jenna, glancing back at the pillows and other stuff they’re leaving behind* Aren’t we taking anything with us? They’re going to know somebody was there, you know…
