... and then there was a church. [ OPEN. ]

While his friends and the rest made the best of the situation, Cloud was perhaps the only one reluctant to branch out. For close to a month he kept to himself and spoke only when addressed, but the majority of his time here was spent in isolation from the rest. There was so much on his mind from the destruction of his world to the concern of his friends who remained to be seen. All he could do was wait and count the minutes, hours, days, and weeks until the next pod release arrived.

Eventually his curiosity did get the better of him and pushed him to seek out the one place he heard a great deal about. The Sensoriums—the holographic room able to recreate anything with just a sheer thought, it was something he had to see for himself to believe was even possible. Lo and behold, the rumors proved to be true, and before he knew it he was standing in the one area that always brought him the most peace—the abandoned church.

The area was recreated precisely as he remembered it, right down to the broken pews, shattered floorboards, and the blooming flowers that grew just at the front of the church. Even his original regalia was materialized over the permanent skin tight suit he wore. Here he could pretend that nothing had changed, the world remained, and that the ship itself was nothing more than a dream. And while he knew that none of it was at all real, just the feel and look of it was able to put him in a state of ease and comfort. Of course, now that Aerith was actually alive and present, such a place was not really needed when she was able to provide that just with her presence.

Sadly, no one told him that he could achieve privacy here in such a publicly used domain.

Normally, Allenby wouldn't be in a Sensorium, but she was actually being careful about potential rule-breaking for once. Mainly this was because what she wanted to do involved her Gundam, and she was not willing to get it taken away for a second time.

Of course, most other people on the ship weren't as completely paranoid about averse to the Sensoriums as Allenby was, and she sighed when she found that this one was occupied--the sigh was cut short, however, when she saw what the simulation was.

She couldn't help but look around. It had been years since she'd set foot inside a church, probably what... a whole decade or something. No way of telling if this one was Lutheran or not, though. It looked really beat up.

Starfire was immediately struck by the quiet beauty of the room she's just flown into, in search of a place to think or train. She'd seen chapels and churches, of course, but never one with flowers just growing out of a hole in the ground!

It looked more like a garden than a functioning church, really. And that was fine with her. She was all ready to investigate when she noticed the man standing there, deep in thought.

Maybe he needed a conversation?

"Please pardon me," she called softly. "May I look at these flowers for a few moments?"

Aerith had been on a search - for Cloud, actually. She had noticed how he kept to himself, but pushing him didn't feel right. She knew he would eventually get out on his own, explore some of the ship.

So it was only natural that on the day she was actively seeking him out she hadn't been able to find him. Which was odd, but she took it as a good sign. It was actually the reason why she was looking for him - to get him to go do something on the ship, learn a little about it.

Aerith started on her own little Cloud-hunt. It was a while before she arrived at the Sensoriums - a place she hadn't been in much, but was just as good as any to search.

When she stumbled upon him, she came to a full stop. It was her church. The one she'd left behind with no clue how long it would be until she was back. It seemed a little more destroyed than before, but that didn't matter to her. "I haven't thought about this place in so long," she said this quietly, mostly to herself, as she took in her surroundings.
