[Video] Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

[saner_sephiroth]

[Hey, look, it's Sephiroth. He looks to be near a farm of some kind, judging by the fences, the acres of grassland, and the Banora White trees in the background. He looks pretty calm, all things considered

Sephiroth. Where are you?

[Vincent isn't really in any position to come and join Sephiroth, but he might be close to Lindblum.]

Re: [Video]

[saner_sephiroth]

Who are you?

[Sephiroth doesn't exactly sound suspicious, since as far as he knows Vincent is just an employee he never met, but he's not a trusting person in general. He at least sounds more curious than irritated.]

[Video]

[chaos_vessel]

Hm. [If Sephiroth doesn't remember him, then he probably doesn't remember being on Gaia before, either.]

I am Vincent Valentine.

Re: [Video]

[saner_sephiroth]

I see. That name doesn't ring a bell.

[Sephiroth is a famous person, so he's at least used to strangers knowing his name.]

[turks_reno]

... Sephiroth.

[There's an odd look on his face, and a slight tilt to his head, but nothing more to let on that anything's up with Reno at all - or the situation.]

Humor me, big-guy: what was the last thing you remember before arriving here? And ... I'll talk with Rufus ShinRa and see if I can get him to contact you. It's a long story, but from the time I was yanked out of, he's the President of Shinra.

[Another odd look, this one more blank than anything. No need to tell Sephiroth that HE was the very reason Rufus took over, right?]

[saner_sephiroth]

Hello Reno.

[A very faint hint of relief creeps into Sephiroth's voice at seeing the familiar face, but blink and you'd miss it.]

I was on my way to Modeoheim, but there was a disturbance and my plane was forced to divert to Junon. [He won't, of course, be going into details about the 'disturbance' on an open frequency. Reno might guess he's referring to the Genesis Army attack on Junon though.] There was a flash of light, and then I woke up here.

[A brief pause]

So he's the President now? I see. [He cocks his head slightly to one side, but that's the only sign he gives of noticing Reno's weird looks]

[turks_reno]

[He relaxes, but the only sign that anything's changed is a bit of a goofball grin. Just a bit.]

Modeoheim, huh? I remember... [Lips dipped into a tiny frown, only to be shaken off and replaced with a smile again.] It's good to see you. Yeah, Rufus is President, or he is in regards to his time and mine. Won't go into details, but... he's a good leader now. You'll see, I guess.

[He hesitated for a second, then lifted a finger to his lips, contemplative.] Your current location looks too similar to one from our own world... do you know where you're at in relation to the locations in this world, at least?

[saner_sephiroth]

Rufus, eh? [Sephiroth sounds somewhat skeptical. After all, the Rufus he remembered was the one who set up AVALANCHE.]

I believe the town is called Dali. According to the farmer I spoke with, it's southeast of their capital Alexandria.

[A chocobo kwehs off-screen. Was it agreeing with him?]

[Voice]

[heavenslament]

[A soft gasp. Oh, dear. More warriors of Chaos arriving?]

Sephiroth?!

Re: [Voice]

[saner_sephiroth]

...yes?

[please let this not be a fangirl...]

[Voice]

[heavenslament]

[A decent pause. The 'fangirl' sounds a bit wary.]

You just arrived from your world? Not...somewhere else?

Re: [Voice]

[saner_sephiroth]

[Hm...not a fangirl then. Well, that's a relief. He was holding the phone slightly away from his ear just in case.]

Straight from my world, yes.

[championofwutai]

[New Sephiroth. She's cautious, but when he mentions Shinra instead of Jenova, she's put to somewhat of an ease.]

I knew you'd be back.

Re: [video]

[saner_sephiroth]

[dryly]

I've been getting that a lot lately. Shall I assume we've met before?

[He never really met Yuffie before, after all. Godo, he remembers. Her? No.]

[video]

[championofwutai]

What? You don't remember me? The Yuffie Kisaragi? The single white rose of Wutai?

I'm insulted, Sephiroth. [She pauses.]

But you're forgiven, considering most don't remember their previous trips to Gaia.

Re: [video]

[saner_sephiroth]

Ah, yes. Godo's daughter.

[He does sound slightly amused at Yuffie's introduction, however.]

It seems you and I have past history. Shall I assume that things are going well in Wutai?

[He was sort of hoping she'd say yes. Being a general was enough paperwork for him, he didn't want to think about being a whatever-the-hell-Godo-called-himself. Or even the assistant to one.]

[shurikenfemale]

[Have a slightly shocked Cissnei who manages to hide it very well. He seemed very much saner than how Reno had described him from this time, so she simply answers the question.]

Rufus is with us, along with two other Turks. Some other members of SOLDIER are somewhere here in Gaia, though where I don't know.

Re: [video]

[saner_sephiroth]

Hm. [He recognizes Cissnei anyway. At least by sight.]

Well, it's a start at least. Do you know why the SOLDIERs haven't reported in?

[It's entirely possible there was a reasonable explanation, but if they were Ravens or part of the Genesis Army he'd like to know.]

[video]

[shurikenfemale]

[She shrugs lightly.]
Some have been here for a while already, forming alliances and friendships of their own with other Sky People so that might be why.

Re: [video]

[saner_sephiroth]

Ah. Well, I can't begrudge them that.

[He sounded just slightly relieved that he wouldn't have to cut down any more comrades. Not yet, anyway.]
