The Mysterious Village (1)

[ailesvalentine]

My head is throbbing, and I feel darkness surround me. What happened to me? The last I could remember was fighting in Edge, and now...I don't know where I am. Most certainly not in Edge any more but, how did I get here

I'm sure others can explain things better than I can, but... essentially, we've been brought here to be unwilling volunteers for experiments.

[ailesvalentine]

Experiments? Hah. Sounds and looks like we're being used for more than that.

And you are?
{ as if I haven't been experimented on enough... }

[nomoresacrifice]

... probably entertainment as well.

Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Yuna. I've been here for a few days.

[ailesvalentine]

...I don't find anything entertaining with experimentation without consent. Or experimentation on anything, for that matter.

{ just like those days, when I tried to stop my greatest sin... }

-glances at Yuna- Vincent. Pleasure.

[nomoresacrifice]

Neither do I. However, these people...

It's nice to meet you, Vincent.

[ailesvalentine]

These Malnosso, as I've heard, are wasting their time, if they think they can keep me in here as their test subject.

Same here, Yuna. You remind me of somebody, but I won't go into that.

[nomoresacrifice]

I don't know how they plan to keep all of us under control...

... I do? Ummm... well, you almost remind me of someone I once knew. You're the brooding, silent type, right?

[ailesvalentine]

If they even have a plan. I'm sure they haven't even thought of it yet. However, they won't get the best of me. I don't plan on spending the rest of my life in this...this...place. Whatever you call it.

Yes, you remind me of her very much. She's...gone now, but her memory lives on in each of us.

...That's what they keep telling me. I simply do not like to converse with everyone all the time.

[nomoresacrifice]

It's good to see that we're on the same page, then.

Oh. Then... I feel honored to remind you of her. She must have been very important.

Hmm, that's something he would have said, too.

[ailesvalentine]

Yes, it is.

She was. She still is. The Malnosso took off my original outfit, but when I find it, her memento is probably there as well. Her name is Aeris, if you don't mind me saying.

Since I gave you the liberty of saying who you remind me off, may I ask now who I remind you off?

[nomoresacrifice]

You remind me of Sir Auron. He... he was my guardian, and a friend. And before that, he was the same to my father.

Were it not for him, I wouldn't be alive today.

[ailesvalentine]

He sounds like a very honorable man. I would have been lucky to share the blessing of knowing him, if he was where we were years ago.

Thank you for sharing.

{ and if it wasn't for you, i'd probably be intact. intact, yet i'd be missing life itself. }

[nomoresacrifice]

Yes. Knowing him was a great honor.

You're welcome, Vincent.
