Scenario 1: accidental video/teneka (early evening)

[The feed opens on a dark, quiet room. The only movement that can be seen is in the mirror on the wall, bright in comparison to the surrounding shadows ( Read more... )

[This broadcast makes Xion pause. That sadness... She can't not respond.]

Hi. Are you new?

[video/teneka] no_hometown October 2 2011, 02:22:31 UTC

[The communication is unexpected. Sephiroth glances down at his PORTAL, and it shows his face clearly. He'd read about this means of communication, but it is nonetheless odd to hear a voice in his mind. The feeling of sadness recedes, but does not disappear.]

Yes, I have just arrived. I am General Sephiroth, of SOLDIER. [He doesn't know how much his rank will mean to those here, and for perhaps the first time, he feels ambivalent about it, but he gives it nonetheless.]

[It doesn't mean anything to Xion, unfortunately. She hesitates, unsure as to where to start, what to say now. What she really wants to ask is why he's sad, but... She can't do that directly, right?]

I'm Xion. Is there... [um.] Anything I can help with?

[video/teneka] no_hometown October 4 2011, 00:53:46 UTC

A pleasure to meet you, Xion. [He doesn't feel quite like himself at the moment, but it's not difficult for him remain cordial with this young woman.] Thank you.

That mirror--I have been here some few hours, and it barely changes. It shows me the same landscape, always. I suppose there is no way to control it it.

It is a place I would rather not see any more than I have to.

[It's really hard not to notice a 70 stories high skyscraper, and one as familiar to Cloud as this one? He recognizes it at once for what it is, though it is far far different from the ruins he last fought Sephiroth in. He's currently checking out the front entrance, a bemused expression on his face.]

...don't tell me Rufus Shinra's here now.

[action] no_hometown October 2 2011, 16:44:36 UTC

[Though still exploring and experimenting, Sephiroth isn't so absorbed in his thoughts that he doesn't notice the young man by the entrance. There's something quite familiar about him, though he can't see his face from where he's standing. The fact that he's interested in the building is also intriguing, reinforcing the idea that this might be someone he's met before.

Or is this another strange feature of this "dream"? Regardless, he doesn't hesitate to approach.]

Hello.

[action] not_puppet October 3 2011, 15:47:40 UTC

[Hearing that familiar voice made Cloud freeze up for a moment. It was a voice he's heard in his dreams, his nightmares, his past.

And so, first reaction is to draw his sword on the owner of that voice.]

You...! [Cloud would have preferred Rufus Shinra to appear in Promenade.]

[action] no_hometown October 3 2011, 17:57:34 UTC

[What an interesting sword. Sephiroth studies it for a moment. He doesn't unsheathe his own, instead gazing evenly at Cloud. He is displeased by this and doesn't yet wish to dignify it with action. Although in this strange place, he's willing to admit there could be an explanation for such behavior.] Drawing a weapon on a superior officer is a serious offense.

[He recognizes him, although something's different, not right about this.] You were with Fair at Modeoheim. [He knows everything about Modeoheim now, everything that can be known.] Strife.

Impossible, perhaps, but here we are.

video/teneka; no_hometown October 2 2011, 21:02:34 UTC

[He moves his PORTAL, which takes the form of a PHS, so he can see as well as hear her. He studies her face. He might not have expected a reply, but he doesn't display surprise. The only feeling from him is the sadness, though it lessens as he replies, growing used to this new means of communication.]

So we are. I must believe the evidence of my senses for now. This does not have the feeling of an ordinary dream. [He can't believe the alternative, that he is losing his reason, his self, like the others.]

I am Sephiroth, of SOLDIER. [It seems wise to make connections among his fellow captives. In spite of his research, there is much he does not know, and cooperation is a beneficial strategy.]

video/teneka; flensing October 2 2011, 23:06:57 UTC

We can only react to what is before us. It is real enough, until it changes.

[They moved through many different worlds, all throughout their lives, but when the shifts were subtle one did not notice. Anna had been dragged through dangerous upheavals. She noticed.]

Hello, Sephiroth. I do not know what SOLDIER is, but my name is Anna.

video/teneka; no_hometown October 2 2011, 23:18:27 UTC

Precisely. If we doubted our senses, what then would we do?

SOLDIER is a military organization, though perhaps that matters little here, as I am without my army. [At the moment, he does not know exactly how to feel about his army, about SOLDIER. Regardless, he will do his duty.] It is a pleasure to meet you, Anna. What do you make of this place we find ourselves in, other than the fact that we are here?
