12th Formulation [Audio]

[Lucrecia sounds a lot lighter than she feels.]

So I haven't seen any pitchforks or torches at my door. Just a... shadow. Haha.

Anyway, I was thinking that...

Well, this world is just--no, existence... existence is a funny thing. I...

[She's silent for a long time.]

Guess I didn't have anything to say after all. I'm, I'm sorry to bother you

I doubt that. Most don't say something for nothing, I've learned.

[She-she knows who you are. Well, vaguely. The network ID... She heard the name you gave over it. And Vincent... he let slip that... But you sound so old! You're grown up... how is she supposed to deal with...? There's the sound of panicked breathing until she can pull together her composure and answer, leaving the emotion in a hidden undercurrent, her tone sweet and sharp at once.]

Astute observation. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I changed my mind on the decision to say something. Though technically, suddenly lacking the desire to say something... that still leaves one with nothing to say. It's just more roundabout than literally being void of words.

[And maybe that's convoluted enough to make him go away until she figures out how to stalk him from a distance handle him. It would work on most. It even worked on Vincent sometimes.]

Having nothing to say and deciding against saying the something you possess are two different things.

[She has to take a moment and shake Hojo's voice out of her head. His... phrasing reminded her so much of... Oh, gods, he's still there.]

Oh, come now, we're breaking down into semantics here...

[Lucy doesn't want to tell you what's going on in her head.]

[ Audio ] wutaiwarhero October 8 2010, 03:46:52 UTC

[ A note of slight mirth in his voice. ]

I believe you started it.

[ Audio ] intimacyphobic October 8 2010, 14:24:15 UTC

[She's just about to die, but it's only marginally apparent from her hollow laugh.]

That's one way to look at it. But it takes two to continue a conversation!

[ Audio ] wutaiwarhero October 9 2010, 02:35:25 UTC

Perhaps I was humoring you.

[ Audio ] intimacyphobic October 9 2010, 15:05:07 UTC

How very sweet of you.

[How very condescending of you. The reminders of Hojo are growing in her mind.]

[ Audio ] wutaiwarhero October 9 2010, 21:57:46 UTC

I do my best.

[ A beat. ]

My apologies. My name is Sephiroth.

[ Audio ] intimacyphobic October 10 2010, 02:21:44 UTC

That's all anyone can ask of you.

[She hesitates.]

Oh, I kno--It's nice to meet you. My name is... Dr. Lucrecia Crescent.

[ Audio ] wutaiwarhero October 10 2010, 04:53:27 UTC

You know? I'm not surprised. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Most know my name. I didn't want to assume you were from Gaia.

[ Audio ] intimacyphobic October 10 2010, 06:11:52 UTC

[She sounds distinctly embarrassed, but attempts to make light of it?]

What, because of the angry mob possibilities? Can't say I've made a great image for our planet, but yes, I'm from Gaia.

Though I... he never mentioned you were... hunh.

... I'm sorry. I don't... I don't come from your time. So it's, well... this place... I don't know.

[ Audio ] wutaiwarhero October 10 2010, 19:31:16 UTC

I see. He who, Dr. Crescent?

[ Audio ] intimacyphobic October 11 2010, 22:19:03 UTC

... Vincent Valentine.

[ Audio ] wutaiwarhero October 12 2010, 00:15:16 UTC

Mr. Valentine never mentioned I was what, precisely, Doctor?

[ Audio ] intimacyphobic October 12 2010, 13:34:44 UTC

Hmm. I... don't know. It suddenly slipped my mind!

I wouldn't worry, though. I'm sure it was nothing terrible, of course.

[Lying? What's that?]
