It was starting to get rather boring for her, due to the new crabs and other things that had been going around Rinoa had opted to stay indoors more, especially after the rather small encounter she had with the crabs. But then again she was lucky; she had only sustained some bruises and a slight sprained ankle ( ... )

His head turn immediately in response to the voice, spotting a young woman emerging from his room and looking rather cautious. Taking the hint that several people here mentioned him appearing 'scary', the ex-Turk calmly walked up to the door and held out his hands, as a gesture that he was unarmed. Why he'd resorted to doing that, even he wasn't sure. But it would help to establish good relations with someone he had just met. Good relations were something he needed more in this place, to keep going and survive. "It's Vincent. You wanted to meet?" He asked gently, trying not to frighten the woman. Gods knew there was enough in the city to frighten everybody, especially those CARP members ( ... )

Dankee <3! And my...he sees her and he's already thinking weapon lol xD angeliquerebel July 15 2009, 23:38:49 UTC
The sorceress was just a bit startled when she saw the man that had apparently been looking for her, one that she was sure she had NEVER seen because she was sure that she will remember someone that looked like him, she raised an eyebrow when he held out his hands to apparently show her that he was unharmed and while that might be the case, well she was sure that golden claw could easily slice through flesh but still she tried to keep her cool, however all of her uneasiness died at his statement ( ... )

He didn't mind if she was a bit nervous. It was something he could attempt to work around and try to ease some with conversation. He truly meant her no harm if she didn't mean harm, and if it took awhile... well, so be it. She seemed friendly and shy enough to be trusted anyway.

But then again, so did that other girl... huh.

"If you don't mind." He replied politely, crimson eyes blank but somehow also looking... sincere. He wasn't sure how or why it happened. It just did. "I did promise you, after all. ...especially after my vanishing act there." Which hadn't even been his fault, so there was truly nothing to apologize for. If anything, he wanted to break free of his prison and just assure everyone to not panic over something to insignificant.

Now she was starting to feel a bit better, all of her nerves had started to slowly fade away since as far as she could tell he didn't exactly planned to harm her and she could trust that for the moment, besides the sincerity that she could see on his red eyes also aided to ease her a bit with being around him.

"Of course I don't, please come in." Slowly she moved to the side to allow him to get inside the suite "Well I appreciate that you kept your promise, as for your disappearing act..." Lightly she bit her lower lip while trying to think on what to say about that "...well you're alright now, right?"

It depended on her definition of 'alright', exactly. Was he alright physically? Sure. No more broken bones or injuries he could speak of. Sora's magic was a powerful thing, if it could have that kind of effect even in a city like this.

Mentally? Not so much. His inability to assist when people needed the help most was a heavy burden. So many close friends gone and lost in such a short time that... it was like his first arrival into this place.

He sat on a nearby couch. "...so-so." He replied honestly.

She silently closed the door after he had stepped inside, well no turning back now, he was inside now and well she had wanted to meet him and like he had promised he was here, well at least that could help her to trust him more, if he was so willing to fulfill a promise to someone he had never properly meet till now.

With a barely there wince the sorceress walked to the couch and sat beside him, she really didn't thought that would bring trouble or anything "So-so? What else is bothering you?"

Oh, where to begin. But this wasn't supposed to be a therapy session, oh no. He promised to come over for a friendly visit and not go on and on about his personal life, even if it did involve everyone else in a sense. He didn't flinch as she sat next to him, didn't protest. In a way, he welcomed the company after being trapped alone for such a long time. It was... pleasant.

"It's not anyone's concern." He said simply, easily keeping the guilt out of his tone. How could he, when emotions nowadays were so weak and fleeting? Becoming nothing but a hollow shell, a lifeless being inside... sometimes it had its advantages. Like keeping the truth from people. It made it easier. "I'm more concerned about how everyone else has been doing. I heard the city tore itself apart while I was away."

New monsters, new crabs, oragnizations...

Finally, some action.

She carefully listened to him and frowned just for a few seconds, before going back to her rather calm and welcoming expression, it was almost natural for her to be friendly and warm with people something that she hadn't been doing since she had arrived here and she actually was starting to like his company ( ... )

There was talking to alliviate problems, and there was whining endlessly to a person about something they didn't really care about in the first place. If there was one thing he didn't and would never do, it was whine and complain. He was not a child who wanted to go to the toy store but couldn't have their way. Sighing a bit, he thought the suggestion over.

Getting locked in that basement was turning out to be his own fault. Not being careful enough, and being idiotic enough to allow the crabs to overwhelm him down there. It was nothing short of a miracle that he'd suffered no bites at all, but it had only been a matter of time before he did. He grew weak, he was helpless... he hadn't faced this at all after dying the first time. Especially here, he needed to work on his own endurance if any of his abilities were sealed.

"I know about the crabs, at least." The red-cloaked man nodded once. "They almost killed me down there. It just... they changed. I... was having trouble taking them out."

There. He'd said it.

So what was bothering him or at last part of what was bothering him was a perception of being weak, considering how he had expressed about his encounter with the crabs wherever he had been trapped in, it must have been a surprise to see the new crabs and to realize that they were stronger than before, that it took a lot to take them down now, it was the same feeling she had gotten when she had first encountered them after she had finally willed herself to go out ( ... )

He bowed his head slightly at her words, thinking them over. Strange, that despite what had happened, what had been happening, that he never wanted to die in such a pathetic manner. It had been dangerous, and grueling, but the only thing that had been flowing through his mind was finding a way out. And he did. ...even if it did end up with him being kicked by a blind kid and one pretending to play doctor. At least he had been alive ( ... )

She looked at him for a few seconds while trying to put into words what she had in her mind, it will be so much easier if he could read her mind or something since it will save her from trying to put into words her ideas in case she didn't made it sound right, finally she sighed just a bit and decided to give it a go ( ... )

"Nature and will work as one." He shrugged a little, taking his hand away from his hair and leaning back onto the couch. "Instinct works as a thought. A thought that just comes naturally. Sometimes the will simply breaks, overrides, and almost manipulates natural instincts. Most people just call this insanity. Or brainwashing, depending on the situation." He knew he was probably making less sense than her, but it was the best explaination he knew to give. Killing Omega was mostly on impulse, without even thinking about what he was doing in the heat of the moment. That, and he had been insane ever since escaping from Hojo.

But... a particular reason to keep living? Here? Lucrecia, Loz, Yazoo, and so many others... they were all gone. Not here and unable to watch and protect them. Sephiroth still was, but...

He wanted to protect him? Maybe Tifa had been right all along ( ... )

A small sigh escaped her lips "I suppose it's something that will depend on the situation and the person." Slowly she pushed a strand of inky black hair behind her ear, her eyes now fixed on her lap "Everyone is different and might react in different ways I suppose, while some might have a strong will, there are others that might be completely driven by instinct alone."

That made Rinoa think for a bit if the corruption of the sorceress power also varied from sorceress to sorceress, maybe some where more susceptible to become evil than others and she wondered how long the sorceress without knights managed to last before breaking down and turn evil? How much time did she have before she went down the same path ( ... )

A strong will would've changed his situation entirely. A strong will would have made him and everyone else better. Nobody would have had to suffer. And yet here he was. He wasn't a strong person, couldn't even begin to be despite what had recently happened. It was just a shitty way to die in this place.

Or did he just want himself to believe that?

He struggled with it everyday, how... different things could have been if he had made a difference in changing Sephiroth's life for the better. A way for him to have been born and not corrupted by an alien virus... a way of saving Lucrecia from destroying herself. He knew the answer to calming his frustrations at least; wait until Hojo showed up and snap his neck. That was all ( ... )
