Following after Victoria, Rosalind had her own camera grasped in her hands. It felt good to be on the field again, to be on a mission. Even though this one only involved taking pictures and nothing all that exciting. But supposedly, the Northern Crater was dangerous, that's what she had heard...about Elena and Tseng. She sighed at the thought of her younger sister. She hadn't seen the other this whole time she had been back. It was funny too, seeing as they both work at the same place. But they hadn't been sent on a mission together yet, so there was still the bitterness between the two. Her thoughts were interrupted by her partner speaking.

"Did you see what Reno said when Rufus said we were supposed to come here? That thing about 'what, you're sending the girls?' What's with that?"She rolled her eyes, her usual reaction when Reno was mentioned. "He's just being immature...as always." But an immature bastard at that. She sighed, knowing she was going to have to put up with him once more being back with the Turks, but it was amusing ( ... )

Victoria laughed at Rosalind's response to the "weird-stuff hunting" comment. Typical, she thought. Rosalind was a good friend and a capable and reliable partner, but the woman wouldn't know how to have fun with things if somebody gave her a manual.

Victoria, on the other hand, might write the manual.

"I'm not really sure what we're supposed to find here, either," she replied. "I hope we find something, though. It would be really sad if we came here for nothing." From all she had heard, there was something in this place that was weird, or dangerous, or both. And it would just be a waste of a trip if they didn't find whatever it was. Right now, though, all she could see was canyon and more canyon. She skittered over some rocks, motioning for her partner to follow.

"Come on, let's try this way."

She nodded at that, it would be a waste of time if they came all the way out here for no reason. But then, she did trust her superiors, and knew they wouldn't send them out here for no reason. Of course, if there was nothing here, she would have rather spent her time in her office doing paperwork then being on a pointless mission. She gave another nod to Victoria, following after her through the misty canyon. It was drafty and cold, and she wished she'd worn at least a heavy coat or something, more then her usual suit jacket that she had on. The ice on the walls wasn't helping anything either, it only made her more cold just looking at them. She began to take notice of glittering chunks of...something. And it wasn't ice ( ... )

"Er, yeah, I think they're pretty weird." Not that she was overly familiar with the layout of the Northern Crater, but those did seem kind of strange. Not exactly dangerous, but one out of two wasn't too bad. She moved to get a different angle on the scene and snapped another couple of shots, then zoomed in for a better view.

"Whoa!" she jumped backward, stared of into the distance, then lifted the zoomed camera back up to her eye. "What the..." She looked at her partner, and gestured toward a particular large crystal in the distance. "There's something in that one. It looks like..." She peered through the magnifying lens of the camera again. "...a person."

With a small shrug, Rosalind continued to take pictures of the crystals. She stood a bit a ways from Victoria, turning immediately when she heard Victoria shout. She looked at her with confusion, staring off into the distance where her partner was zooming in with her camera. She blinked with confusion.

"Something in one?" Okay, now things are starting to get weird again. Waiting as Victoria looked once more and her jaw dropped. "A person? Okay, I think that definitely classifies under weird." She looked towards the large crystal then back at Victoria. "Should we check it out, or just take pictures of it?" She hesitantly took a step forward, looking at the large crystal herself through her camera, and she bit her bottom lip. She snapped a couple photos, but wanted to get closer.

"Come on, let's just get a closer look." She began to walk over to the large crystal, her one hand on her camera, and for her own benefit her other hand was on her gun at her waist.

WTF IT'S A CRYSTAL... PERSON... THING girlfrommideel January 2 2009, 21:40:35 UTC
Victoria followed, excited and happy to have found something interesting, but with the same precaution of a hand on her shotgun. Somehow when she had been told that there was something strange and dangerous around, a person in a crystal had not been her first thought. And even as she approached, she sort of hoped she had misinterpreted what she had seen and it was just a vaguely person-shaped rock or something stuck in there ( ... )

Encased inside the crystal, Sephiroth had been concentrating fully on confirming the location of the Remnants. His own location, the question posed through a telepathic test message, still remained unanswered and unknown. It seemed his remnants were quite possibly more confused than he was at this point in time. He wondered to himself briefly what could have caused this Reunion to have been prematurely completed, but that train of thought was abruptly interrupted.

Someone is here He thought as he was suddenly aware of a presence close by to his current location. Instinct pounded behind his closed eyes with the need to open them and assess if this was friend or foe. To no avail; the emerald orbs remained fused shut by this crystalline prison ( ... )

Stay back.

Victoria jumped a little bit at the words. It wasn't quite as if someone had spoken to her, but more as if they had simply appeared in her thoughts. How that was possible, she had no idea. And it hadn't been very loud or anything. Maybe she had imagined it? But that didn't seem right, either.

She looked at Rosalind, hoping for some confirmation of the odd experience.

"Did you, uh..." She paused, wondering if she was about to sound like she was completely out of her mind. "Did you hear something just now?" She glanced back at the figure in the crystal. Did that come from him? But how? People shouldn't be able to talk into someone else's thoughts, should they? She certainly hadn't had that happen before.

And besides that, he was dead, wasn't he?

[[OOC: Perfectly fine. ^^]]

With very little light hitting the crater, Kadaj had no idea of how much time had passed in his search. It didn't really matter though. Time, day or night made little difference. All that mattered was Mother. He wanted Mother... And then there were people similar to him ( ... )

If Rosalind had made any reply to Victoria's question, it had gotten lost as a new voice entered the conversation. She jumped, again, and turned to face the new arrival.

"Mother?" she asked, confusedly. "What are you talking about?" Victoria couldn't imagine who he might be looking for out here. She peered at him curiously. She didn't recognize him, though he had a somewhat eerie resemblance to the man in the crystal.

"And... who are you, anyway?"

Weird was most definitely applicable at this point, and dangerous seemed to be becoming more and more so by the second.

[[OOC: Sorry for going on without waiting for a Rosalind post. Since I'm about to disappear on my trip, I want to post while I can.]]

He was just there, wandering about looking around the crater in silence. He followed the voice, and it seemed the voice was its loudest here, where he heard it. It still emitted to him, so it wasn't the wind. He wasn't delusional or imagining things, in fact, he was a few good feet away from the small group that was there. He could see a crystalline object, and what appeared to be person from afar. The delicate strands of silvery white hair was visible to his eyes. His hair was the same colour as his. He looked similar ( ... )

"Rosalind, is... is that who I think that is?"She stood in front of the giant crystal, looking up at the person that was actually encased in it. It couldn't be...she had heard stories of him, and had been filled in by others about all of his doings. But they weren't good, he was supposedly one of the greatest evils out there, and here he was encased in a crystal, in the Northern Cave. Sephiroth ( ... )
