Did Cid come get you yet or do I need to go find him and set him straight?

[Call to Reeve]

[Yuffie dials the number, and waits somewhat impatiently for the reply.]

Come on, Reeve, pick up.

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve (I will get this right one of these days buh)

[animus_inspire]

[It takes him a while to answer, having picked up the phone and seeing the caller id. Normally Yuffie would be one of the few people Reeve could be comfortable around, but the conversation with Rufus bears upon his mind... and that's not to mention Hojo. Still, after twirling the phone through his fingers a few times, and knowing damn well Yuffie was not the type to just stop pestering when she wanted to speak to you, he flipped the technology open he answers with a deceptively light tone.]

Yuffie. What can I do for you?

Heh. Don't tell me you need me to come extricate you from another kimono... you know you can't fool me into coming to Wutai that easily...

Oh but you aren't there are you?

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[idkmybffvince]

Finally! Did I call you at a bad time, or something?

Hey! I got out of the last one just fine! And when I'm gonna bring you Wutai, it's gonna be so stealthily you're not even gonna notice and then, BAM, there you are in Wutai, realizing I'm coming up behind you Hakama in hand.

Huh? Oh, right! We got in last night, just as planned. That's why I called, see, 'cause I said I'd call when I learned something about the Z--dead people. You know how, no matter how hard we work, we always, always end up with some cryptic answer?

Yeah.

Apparently, someone - or, you know - something is messing with the Lifestream. Like I couldn't have guessed that on my own, right?

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[animus_inspire]

...No. I- er.. I had just got out of the shower.

Yuffie. Seriously, this obsession to dress me up is starting to disturb me. How about I send Cait Sith in my place? I'm sure he'll look better than I would.

[is trying to agree or even speak amongst her babbles] Mm-?
Oh ri-
ahah-
[FINALLY got a word in edgeways]
Yeah.

Where did you get that information?

Re: Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[idkmybffvince]

I HOPE you got dressed before you picked up the phone, Reeve, 'cause that's a mental image I really don't want.

And it's not an obsession.

Well, see, when Dad called me, he asked me to go to Cosmo Canyon and ask one of mystics there to come back to Wutai and give us his professional opinion, hence the traditional dress and all. (I am so gonna be prepared next time.) So we came back to Wutai, like I said, last night, and spent some time waiting for him to be mystical and all and figure it out, and then he told us this morning.

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[animus_inspire]

Of course I did, Yuffie. Hmpf. Thanks for the ego boost.

...

Oh. Right. Well now all we need to find out now is why this is occurring. Easy..

Well, thank you for reporting back. Did the WRO representatives arrive safely? Um and if the mystic comes up with anything else, let us know.

[Pauses. Truth is he wants to ask her about ShinRa, but he's just remaining silent]

[[ooc: he has already asked the Sci. Div. about the lifestream when Hojo turned up in his apartment unannounced, but he really does appreciate it <3]]

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[idkmybffvince]

Yeah, everything is going smoothly

"Um," Reeve? What, is this a cleverly disguised ploy to keep talking to me? I know I'm all kinds of amazing, but I didn't realize you actually liked hearing me chatter at you.

But just for that, I do have one more thing. (Okay, maybe I was gonna tell you anyway, but that's besides the point.) [More seriously] Were you contacted by Lazard Deusericus?

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[animus_inspire]

[Starting to sound a little embarrassed exasperated]

Tch. Oh, but who doesn't want to listen to the White Rose of Wutai and her dulcet tones? But enough of that..

I intercepted his communication, yes. It was more by chance than anything. Seems this phenomena is not restricted just to Wutai...

[[ooc: I want Lazard to lead the WRO military :D heheheehehehe that would piss Rufus right off (Logical though - Deusericus doesn't have the same... associations as ShinRa and he has been shown to be talented, if a bit ebil~)]]

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[idkmybffvince]

Yeah, I spoke with him too. It's...[Silent, for probably the first time this conversation.]

I kinda told him to call you. Momental lapse in judgment, you know, since he was probably gonna be sleeping in all the rubble and whatever.

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[animus_inspire]

[Listens as the line apparently goes dead] Yuff-?

...You gave him my number? Dammit Yuffie. If this is really happening on such a widescale as we think it is... the last thing I can do is take in every waif and stray!

Right. Ok, think Reeve...

We need to set up temporary refuges.

Yuffie. Negotiate similar in Wutai, if the relatives of the families do not want to take the re-arrivals in, they need somewhere to stay. I will send over an amnesty officer to help coordinate it.

Re: Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[idkmybffvince]

[Surprised about his anger, and gets defensive] Every waif and stray? Geez, Reeve, I just - I'm sorry, alright?

...Got it.

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[animus_inspire]

[Hears her emotion in her voice and sighs] No. I apologise. I- I guess I was just surprised.

Good. Thanks...

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[idkmybffvince]

Yeah.

We'll just... we'll just forget that happened, and it'll be all alright, right?

Call Response: Yuffie/Reeve

[animus_inspire]

Right.

Reeve - Over & Out.
