WHEN: May
WARNINGS: Medical stitching in Prompt 1, ghosts in the other two

Stitching

Sephiroth sighed as he sat down with needle and thread after washing and cleaning his injured wing. He generally took care of injuries to his wings himself, since he was used to being where it was not usual for humans to have wings. He had learned how to properly care for them and he did so with skill and patience.

This certainly wasn’t a favorite activity, however, and even though he had a high pain tolerance, he still clenched his teeth behind closed lips as he set about closing the wounds to the lower left wing. It will no doubt be quite a sight for anyone who happens upon him during this situation—a tall man sitting on a crate, calmly pulling needle and thread through a large blue wing attached to his body.

Ghostbusting

The space trip comes while he is still recovering from injury to his wing during the fight with Billy and Stu. Not wanting to further damage it, or to be unable to be at his best to help others, he’s hesitant to leave the ship at first. He ends up spending most of his time there, although he does go help at the space station when he feels more confident to do so.

Radley calls him on the Network, highly disturbed about something soon after their arrival. He’s an odd case, probably the only person there who is actually familiar with Sephiroth’s world ... even though such familiarity is through video games about it. It boggled his mind to realize the games were based on real things and real people, instead of being fictitious as believed.

It doesn’t take long and Sephiroth discovers what Radley is upset about. The bizarre supernatural activity on the ship becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. It’s all the classic tropes of a haunting. Sephiroth being from a universe of supernatural activity and magic, he isn’t surprised by ghosts existing. But it’s certainly inconvenient and irritating to be happening right now when there is so much more they need to deal with.

Sephiroth soon takes to wandering about the ship, trying to entice the ghosts to bother him late at night. Every time they do, he tries to figure out some pattern to their nonsense, some clue to where they’re coming from and what brought them onboard.

Someone who is a lot less calm about ghosts may be startled by scenes such as Sephiroth standing with folding arms, watching objects move around the diner with a completely deadpan expression.

Ghostly Form

Sephiroth is not unused to seeing fake apparitions of Zack since his arrival. But when the violet light suddenly decides to appear in front of him as Zack, he can’t help but pale a bit. “Zack . . . ?”

It’s not Zack. It can’t be Zack. It wasn’t Zack when the Storms were coming and it’s not Zack now. But Sephiroth reaches out to the ghost for a brief moment before drawing his hand back. It’s hard to breathe....

The form vanishes and Sephiroth gasps, inhaling sharply.
