[demon_turk]

Another nightmare, a new mission.

...Appropriate.

[Cue Vincent going into stealthy mode, as he is going to watch Lucrecia's hiding place very closely for signs of trouble.]

[cetraflowergirl]

Vincent, what are you doing?

[demon_turk]

Nothing.

[Looking at her curiously now. She resembles someone...]

[cetraflowergirl]

It doesn't look like nothing to me... [She clasps her hands behind her back, an eyebrow raised. What on earth was he doing...?]

[demon_turk]

[Eyes her more. There are slight differences, but...]

Aerith?

[cetraflowergirl]

Hm? [Smiles, hasn't quite clued in that this isn't the other Vincent that she knows yet.]

[demon_turk]

[Probably shouldn't be too surprised she is somehow here; Lucrecia is, after all. Has an... almost apologetic look. Although he didn't know her well, what happened was indirectly his fault.]

I didn't expect to see you.

[cetraflowergirl]

[Smiles, shaking her head.] I could say the same. Where've you been? I was worried about you.

[demon_turk]

...I just arrived in this Template.

[cetraflowergirl]

What? [She's shocked for a moment, then covers her mouth with her hand.] Sorry about that.

[She thinks for a moment, her brow furrowing as she taps a finger against her lips.] ...Why are you standing out here? Are you waiting for someone?

[demon_turk]

It's nothing, as I said... [Pauses a moment, considers, is just getting used to this idea.] I think you've mistaken me for someone else. Another Vincent.

[cetraflowergirl]

I did, and he was just as hard to talk to. [She smiles, shaking her head, only to realize something.]

You still have your left hand. [Without even thinking, she takes it, turning it over gently as she examines it.] I've never seen Vincent without the claw...

[demon_turk]

[Pulls hand back with a wary look.] Claw?

[cetraflowergirl]

[Looks incredibly unhappy, but nods.] Hojo...he...

He experimented on Vincent, and replaced his left hand and forearm with a metal claw. He doesn't talk about it, I've never asked. I don't like talking about what happened in the labs, I'm not surprised if he doesn't either. Hojo's...a sore subject for us.

[demon_turk]

Hojo... [Deep frown. Sore subject for him as well... he doesn't want to talk about the experiments that DID happen.]

[cetraflowergirl]

[Her hand moves to her mouth again and she frowns, thinking.] Vincent...did... Did Red XIII make it out of the labs, in your Template?

[demon_turk]

[Nod] He teamed up with a group... Avalanche.
