"Besides... It would be a bad idea to face that many enemies with just the six of us..." Terra said to George as she took a step back to alow the other some space to work. She nodded in agreement with Cloud, then looked at Zack, leaning against a wall. "I sure hope so. Even with this many clothing and my fire, I'm still cold..."
OOC: I'm back!
Etna woke up and wandered out of the ship after finding that everyone inside was asleep. Then she noticed there was no one outside either. "Hey, what gives? Where'd everyone go?"
"They all went to that city, dood."
"Hmm...what to do, what to do..." Etna readjusted the tiara she still happened to be wearing, as she had no better place to put it.
@Hatchy: Yes, the group is now in/near St. Petersburg.
As for what you've missed, angst-y shouting matches.

"Don't care."
"It will. I assure you." Zack said and then added. "Let's see. I fought through plenty of tough large forces. The Genesis remnants. The Wutai forces. I had numerous missions against of exhibitions against Shin-Ra security forces. All single handed."

OOC: Oh that guy. Okay then.
Than sighed and started to walk away from Phoenix. "I have been...alive for a very, very long time. In that time I have learned at least one truth that is absolutely inescapable. The human animal is characterized most, by it's capacity for change. A buck cannot wake up one day and decide to mate. It has plans and procedures imprinted into it's brain that tell it where, how, and when to mate. A salmon cannot spawn in any random stretch of water. It must return to the place that it was born in order to make offspring and continue it's bloodline. A lion cannot stop eating meat. It will always hunt and kill because that is what it has always done. Humans have free will. True things tend to inhibit their ability to exercise this free will. But more often then you would like to admit, the only thing holding a person back in the courage to try. The courage to take responsibility for their own life. Because it is easy to resign yourself to being a tool. It is easy to say that no one cares and life is pointless just because it's true meaning is not staring you in the face. If you are tired of being used, break away from your oppressors. If you are afraid of apathy and neutrality, make you opinions known and make others hear you. If you think life has no greater purpose for you, then go out and prove yourself wrong." he said with a surprising amount of passion.
He sighed again. "I say again. If you do not wish to follow my advice, feel free to die soon so you do not end up harming anyone else." And with that, he brought Phoenix back to the group.

OoC: @Drak, and @Fur, cheers for the update 
Crystal woke up and stood outside. "Ah, this weather is pure bliss!" She said to herself.
Tao slowly woke up, rubbing her eyes.

OoC: @Outis ...wow. That was... freaking amazing. Nice speech man. I herby give you the mantle of thread mentor.
"You make it sound like it's something to be proud of... It's not! It was horrible..." Terra said to Scout with a raised voice, then shook her head. "Like I said... t's not something I'm proud of..." she said to Zack, then grabbed a bowl herself and sat down.
"Hi Tao. Sleep well?" Jean asked, still beside Tao and hugging her.
Eh, I've been thinking of that speech for a while now. Just glad it fit pretty well in this situation.Gearhead mk2 said:
