Well hey there! This is actually a roleplay between myself and two other friends who lack fanfiction accounts but you may refer to them as Squral and Taffy. They will leave little notes which I will label accordingly. Again, this is a roleplay, so it switched point of view with whoever is writing.

Also, since the summary could only be so long I'm continuing it here! Ha, take that fanfiction!

There will be romance also, but I feel like for the main part it is action/adventure and humor (From myself at least) and the couples are mainly VincentxOC, CloudxOC, and RenoxOC. Don't be hatin'. Also rated M because of some mild scadalousness, no lemons though. We can't handle those, sorry Internet perverts!

Setting: Edge, though we're going to pretend at first we're in Midgar and then we go to Edge later. Don't let the fact that we keep saying Edge confuse you. It's rainy and generally grey. Follows the Dirge of Cerberus plot as well as we can.

Our plan so far is to post one post from each of us per chapter, and as Taffy doesn't join the roleplay in the very beginning they'll be a little short. They'll get longer later, no worries!

I guess I play Ari obviously, and my Vincent baby. Vincent and Cloud are supposedly 21 (Vincent will forever be 21) So I'm making Vincent like…19? Yeaah, and Ari is 18. Sweet.

Ummm, if you have any questions or criticism or anything to say just review or send me a message! I'm impossible to offend, and I always would like to improve my writing!

Disclaimer: I do not own any Final Fantasy characters or the Dirge of Cerberus plot idea thingy. I do however own Ari, as per she is practically my roleplay clone. Please do not reuse her without my permission, and the same applies to Sora and Midori.


Ari, having just turned 18 today, was celebrating in the streets with her friends, dancing and laughing despite the rain. Her pure white hair was covered in rainbow streaks, which were only slightly darker when drenched in rain. The bangs stuck to her forehead and side of her face. The long straight locks usually hung down past her shoulders, but looked shorter drenched and tangled from being tossed haphazardly. She had come from Midgar to get food and see some friends, and of course she had gotten side tracked.

Honestly, who could resist dancing in the rain? Her emerald eyes twinkled, the blue ring around her right pupil looking particularly blue against the gray sky. Her skin was slightly tanned, which was hard to avoid when you were outside a lot. A loose white t-shirt billowed around her small figure, a purple tank top clinging to her form underneath. Parts of the drenched white shirt showed the purple material underneath where they clung to her. Orange corduroy shorts clung to her waist, and her shoes had been abandoned on the side of the road. The rain had just been letting up when everything had pretty much asplodedifyed.

Suddenly there was an explosion and planes came out of no where, dropping weird looking people. And everyone was running and Ari lost her friends in the rush. She managed to dive roll into an alley, hiding in a very small crevice between boxes. There was a lot of noise, and things slowly died down. Ari, having lost feeling in her but and legs decided to risk getting up and out of her hiding spot. It was like a different place. Rain was still falling steadily, but everything was silent except for the occasional snarl or order. Keeping close to walls and letting her instincts take over she inched down the alley way till she could see into a major street. In order to get out she had to take that risk.

Checking both ways for any of the weird soldiers she'd seen she took a deep breath, and ran.

All she could focus on was the other alley, and getting there as fast as her short legs could carry her. But someone up there had other plans for her, and her bare wet foot landed on a slick patch of gravel. And suddenly her foot was flying sideways, and the rest of her body and momentum carried her sideways and forward, rolling and sliding. Quite loudly. She looked up slowly to see a bizarre dog like creature leaping from a roof, barking along the way. Suddenly she heard the soldiers approaching again, and struggled quickly to her feet, feeling warm liquid, blood, trickling from her hairline, knee, and hip. But she felt no immediate pain as she started again for the alley, only to have the dog-thing barrel into her, knocking her forcefully back onto the concrete, at the feet of a solider. Then and only then did she revert to last resort mode. She screamed at the top of her little lungs. She tried to scoot away, only to have jaws snapping at her. Futility she struggled again to her feet, only to be grabbed roughly by the soldiers.

"She still seems young enough, let's send her off with the rest," one said.

"The last one just left, we'll have to wait for the next one," the other pointed out and they continued on their merry way.

"Um...guys? I'm 18, you know that right?" Ari piped up, only to be jolted to a stop. The two stared at her in a not-good way.

"Then we can just leave her to the dogs right?" one asked, already loosening his hold. The dogs behind her suddenly became much more frightening.

"No wait I'm two, I'm innocent!!" she wailed, and they continued on as before. After a good while of practicing they came around a corner with some other little children and bad guys. Suddenly she struggled avidly against the chains, screaming and yelling again. She flailed and kicked her legs, proving quite difficult as more soldiers began to advance warily.

"STOP TOUCHING ME PERVERTS!" she yelled as one hand trying to detain her landed in a not so good chestile area. Suddenly one of the guys holding her fell to the ground after two gun shots. Many gunshots later and all the bad guys and their bizarre dogs had fallen. Ari, wide eyed and incredibly grateful/afraid looked up.

There was a cape, and a gun, and a very capable person wielding the gun and wearing the cape. There was silence before Ari spoke up,

"Are you going to shoot us…me?" she asked, breaking the silence. In response the man simply holstered his gun and turned to walk away. Ari, after regaining her breath and a regular heart beat, took off after him.

"Wait!" she called, dashing after him. He stopped and glanced sideways over his shoulder, and she waved and smiled. Skipping from behind, to beside, to in front of she stopped, beaming up at him.

"I'm Ari, and you kinda just saved me. Major bonus points. So I'm going to travel with you! At least until we get to Midgar," she stated, holding her hands on her hips and rocking her weight from one foot to the other.

He was silent, staring at her curiously and slowly raising one eyebrow.

"So yeah…proceed!" Ari chirped, moving to stand on his right side, left hand fisted childishly in his cape.


Squral: Kay so I shalst be playing Sora and my emo kid, cloud. I find it just so hilarious that Sora means sky and cloud is cloud ^^, and we're making Taffy join. With Reno. This is going to be very amusing!

Sora licked a glob of cream cheese icing from her fingers and carefully placed a clear plastic container over Ari's beast of a birthday cake which Sora had spent three painstaking hours baking to perfection. Said beautiful cake was roughly the size of a cabinet door and circular. The thinner layer of moist, slightly sticky strawberry cake was placed precisely on top of a thicker layer of chocolate marbled new York cheese cake. Intricate little frosting flowers, rainbows, and smiley faces dotted the sides. The icing? Cream cheese. And written on this marvelous cake in rainbow cursive were the words "happy 18th birthday Ari!"

Now, why go through all the trouble for this massive cake? A) Ari was one of Sora's best and closest friends and B) Her profession happened to be baking. She owned a quaint little shop in the slums of midgar conveniently placed a few paces from the seventh heaven bar. It had two stories; downstairs was the shop and upstairs was where the trio's rooms lay. It certainly wasn't big but it was cozy enough.

Wiping her hands on her apron, she stood back and admired her work. The explosion that followed shook the shook the windows, rattled the door, and knocked several things off the granite counter including the cake. With a quick "shit!" she dove for the precious pastry and caught it on the tips of her extended fingers. Within the time it took for her to catch the falling cake the mini earthquake stopped. She rushed outside just in time to see the small city "edge" combust. Her eyes widened as flames engulfed buildings and planes started to hover near the ground. The first word out of her open mouth was "Ari", Ari, whom she'd sent out to go get supplies in Edge.

Before she knew exactly her plan of action Sora was out the door and halfway down the street when she realized she needed a mode of transportation, so she could get ari and GTFO. Her sliver eyes darted around wildly until they rested upon a glorious motorcycle. It gleamed in the firelight as if to say "Yeah, take me! I bet I'm even faster than the flying car. And you won't have to cut off your foot or be raped!"

Thus Sora ended up hotwiring the big black bike, and as the beast roared to life the door to the bar opened. The owner of the bike, so Sora assumed he was, muttered "hey!" loudly. Their eyes met for a second, fierce blue against silver, and then she was speeding down the street, eyes streaming, and screaming something unintelligible that sounded a lot like "OH CLUSTERFUCK!" And Cloud stood there for one more moment before blinking and tearing down the street after his bike. This is when the dark sky opened up and started to pour down rain. Keep in mind that Sora has never ridden on a motorcycle let alone driven one. Stay tuned for the chaos that ensues!


Ta da! I honestly hope at least one person likes this, and we do have the next couple chapters ready so I'll update at least once a month for awhile, I'll be sure to let you guys know if that would ever change!
