[Vincent's voice is level, but there's a tint of emotion in it. He's...concerned. And for once it shows.]

I agree that it's time to take a headcount. If you're missing anyone, let me know, with a description if possible, and I'll go looking. It's safer that way.

That said, I think...

[He takes a deep breath and lets it out very, very slowly ( Read more... )

Reno. Status.

[Vincent sounds like shit. Tired, strained, his voice is hoarse and sharp with pain, but this is one old coot who doesn't know when to roll over and die even when he IS human.]

Kimiko.

[Beat.]

Kim. Are you all right?

Mimmi, Auron, Marco. I hope you're still with us.

[And another beat.]

Sephiroth. Wherever you are.

[He's ( Read more... )

[Vincent tried writing an apology. He really did. He's not very good at writing, but it would be easier to deliver than anything verbal. But no matter what he did, he couldn't make it sound right ( Read more... )

...Arrival day changed.

[Locked to Turks // 85% Unhackable]

Sephiroth is on board. Judging by his behavior, he's been abducted from a point in time before his mental break in Nibelheim.

I'll be keeping an eye on him.

[Beat.]It would probably be in everyone's best interests to keep his identity from Dr. Crescent, and vice-versa, for as long as ( Read more... )

[Click. Click click click.]

...Hm.

[Click click.

Do you think he meant to start this recording? There's a long silence.]

People disappear from this ship rather frequently, correct?

...Tseng's userID is missing from the network.

[Edward's ID is as well. How long has it been since Vincent ( Read more... )

...Is anyone else unaffected by this latest stage?

[Because Vincent is back to normal. But NO ONE ELSE IS, or so it appears so far.]

[Although this is definitely Vincent's userID, the voice that comes over the line is distinctly not his: It's higher, less cultured, less pained, and his words are spoken slower. The accent is the same, the vocabulary, but the voice itself is very, very different.]

[Locked from Veld and Lucrecia // 62% Unhackable]People say you don't know what ( Read more... )

[Vincent has been a little wary to speak over the network the last few days--both because he's a mess and because he's not completely comfortable with his ex-girlfriend hearing his voice. Nonetheless, today he's actually forayed out into the ship to replenish his supply of the tea from the buffet. You know, the awful too-sweet stuff no one else ( Read more... )

[It's been three days since Lucrecia showed up, three days since Veld met Chaos. Vincent has spent the majority of time laying down in Veld's room being almost entirely unresponsive. Hearing Redd shout his name over the network wakes him up, at least partially, and he rolls over in bed ( Read more... )

...Is there anyone from Gaia here who isn't--and hasn't ever been--part of ShinRa's Administrative Research Division?

[He sounds genuinely curious, under the neutrality normal for his tone of voice.]I already knew that a large number of the people on this ship who come from the same world are acquainted with each other, like we're selected in ( Read more... )
