One brief mention of child soldier.

Joining the Enforcers

Sephiroth has still been hesitant to actually take the plunge and join the Enforcers. Perhaps it’s because of how much went wrong for him and others at Shinra and now he’s unsettled to think of working for someone else again. Perhaps it’s how he always longed to live a normal life and not be what Shinra wanted him to be. But he has to get some kind of a job and this seems like what he would be the best at. Fighting and protecting are about all he knows after being raised from childhood to be a soldier. And he does still want to protect.

So he goes into the building and smiles congenially at whoever is at the front desk. “Hello. Whom do I see about signing up for the Enforcers?”

Exploring - Outside Larkin Manor

Sephiroth is hardly the type to actually go into a place that looks like it’s been condemned for decades (or that looks like every traditional haunted house in the book). But he stands outside looking at it with a thoughtful frown.

“Do you know the history of this house?” he asks if anyone happens to see him.

Exploring - Cemetery

Sephiroth also isn’t generally fond of visiting cemeteries. But he’s curious about this one, considering how people currently don’t stay dead here. So he’s wandering about amid the headstones, reading the names and dates, and then pausing to study the mausoleum. He may look almost otherworldly from a distance, with his long silver hair and black coat, especially if there’s a fog rolling in.

Into the Woods

Even as a member of the Enforcers, Sephiroth still goes into the woods a lot to protect those foolish or unfortunate enough to have wandered in there. Sometimes he’s on duty, while other times he goes when he’s off-duty.

In general, anyone encountering him in the woods fighting monsters or protecting people from monsters will see him in his Safer form: glowing eyes, whitish hair defying gravity, and purple wings all around his waist. He will be careful not to introduce himself by his name, but if anyone’s good with voices, they should be able to recognize him from that if they’ve previously met him in his normal form or meet him that way later. He is still likely to vanish into the trees without speaking at all unless speaking is necessary or unless someone hails him down for a conversation.

“That’s alright. We’re still a community resource; we help organize the festivals, and not just for ritual aspects. So if you ever have need of that sort of thing, any kind of organized work, or… even just a sport of advice? Do let us know.”

His eyes flick to the long length of Sephiroth’s hair then. Mulcahy’s seen far, far stranger things, but it still makes him curious. He wonders if it’s indicative of anything in particular.

Mulcahy's eyes go wide. Not in a bad way, just--surprised.

"I'm Father Francis John Patrick Mulcahy, but you need only call me Mulcahy. And that's quite a name you have, Sephiroth." Oh, he feels a little funny just saying it as someone's name. "Just so you know, we may be far flung from our native worlds, but there's a number of people here that that word will mean quite a lot to."

"Ah, well... you'd be far better off talking to the local Jewish folks about this, but from what I know, it's part of their mysticism. The ten sephirot are emanations of the Creator's will, through which it continuously creates the physical realm."

Pauses. "... I believe so, anyway. Please take all of that with a few grains of salt; it's been many, many, many years since I discussed this with a rabbi. Ask around for a Zivia Birnbaum or a Rov Morgenshtern. They'll be of more use than me."

"You're very welcome. Rov Morgenshtern would likely know more, but, ah, I don't really know what his schedule is, or where he lingers. But Zivia Birnbaum works at Town Hall--I believe as a clerk?" He's never actually been inside. "She will be there during office hours, and I'm sure you could ask anyone there for her, and speak after work."

"You may have. She's a shorter woman with brown hair, glasses, and lovely blue earrings. She doesn't stand out nearly as much as many people in town do. Including yourself." He grins, soft and well-meaning.

"On that topic--I hope you don't mind me asking about it, but your hair has me rather curious. I've never seen that style before."
