This is unacceptable.

Private to Rufus // Hackable.

One of your subordinates has recently broken into my house. This person did not cover their steps well, most notably because they took several items of a personal significance to me and left the toilet seat up. I suppose there is no need to request them back; I have better things to do than engage

I think you must be mistaken, Professor. I would never break and enter a home unless it was for my own benefit.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[a_failed_god]

There are many employees at Shinra, and you're assuming I'm referring to you personally?

That's rather incriminating.

[kotostrings]

Of course it is.

Perhaps I'll return your papers to you when I'm through with them.

[a_failed_god]

... Your name, and what you did with the First.

[kotostrings]

Hardly any of your business.

[a_failed_god]

Is that how you intend to play it?

... We'll see.

If you're truly wanting back what I took from you, I suppose we could work out a deal.

[a_failed_god]

Oh? A strange thing to expect from the man whose house you've just ransacked.

Tell me what you had in mind.

Re: {private//unhackable}

[kotostrings]

No more strange than you kindly requesting blood from one of your former test subjects. (And him agreeing to it.)

Not here. Meet somewhere with me; any place of your choosing.

[a_failed_god]

My intentions were genuine. My reasoning and need for that blood was not dishonest.

... I can't confirm whether or not that would be a trap. I don't wish to take such a risk.

Re: {private//unhackable}

[kotostrings]

As you say.

Hence why I said it could be in any place of your choosing. Unless you'd prefer I came to your home again so that I were in your territory.

Re: {private//unhackable}

[a_failed_god]

As you surely remember.

If I tell you where we meet, we meet immediately. No delays.

Re: {private//unhackable}

[kotostrings]

Fair enough. Name a place.

{private//unhackable}

[a_failed_god]

Not any more.
