[Elena can only stare, Yazoo's face registering despite her best efforts to block it out. The smart thing to do would be to pay attention.

The Turk thing to do would be to face it head on.

She sighs, a little shudder to her breath.]

It's not like I didn't know this day might come.

Voice velvet_zealot July 25 2010, 04:05:41 UTC

Ahhh... you.

[Although not visible, the sinister half-smirk gracing Yazoo's lips is undisguised by his tone, a mix of astuteness and recognition, but also anticipation.]

I was hoping to see you again.

Voice wellsuited July 25 2010, 04:15:02 UTC

Really? Because I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing you again.

[Hey, that felt...kind of good, actually.]

I guess I can't blame the Lifestream for spitting you back out though. Talk about rotten to the core.

Voice velvet_zealot July 25 2010, 04:18:14 UTC

[He can ignore her petty excuse for an insult because something else she said has caught his attention... something that can't be quite right, not if memory serves him correctly.]

...What exactly are you babbling on about?

Voice wellsuited July 25 2010, 04:23:22 UTC

What, you don't remember?

[A pause.]

You really don't remember!

[She isn't sure if she should find that funny or scary or...a million other things that are going through her head right about now. But it seems like a piece of information she should hold onto, if only because she knows it and he doesn't.]

You know, now that we're not in the Northern Crater I'm less inclined to tell you anything.

Voice velvet_zealot July 25 2010, 04:38:35 UTC

[How very like her to withhold information. How like any Shinra employee to do so. They hid Mother, and now Elena is hiding the truth about what happened after...

...after what? After he and his brothers had escaped with Mother's cells? Could things have possibly gone wrong for them afterward? After all of their hard work, after having finally come close to achieving their goal... could it have all fallen to pieces?]

You forget... I have ways of making you talk. Location is hardly relevant.

[She made the right decision, opting for voice over video. Because she physically flinched at his words. It was the impulse of any and all living things that want to avoid pain. Pain and scars and bad memories and nightmares. And while Yazoo wasn't privy to the sight of it, her voice was a little too quick and sharp with emotion.]

I haven't forgotten anything, you--

[She catches herself. Name-calling, taunting the enemy. It's neither wise nor professional.]

You had the element of surprise on your side last time. That's the only reason you got the jump on me and my boss! But it won't happen again.

[Another pause.]

...You...silver-haired freak!

[Okay, so it wasn't professional. Dock her paycheck.]

Voice i_love_squats July 25 2010, 05:04:21 UTC

Elena? [He couldn't help it, couldn't ignore this, and it clinched his inner thoughts completely, proving it. So, he wasn't completely wrong, not about the eyes, not about the hair, but it didn't answer who this guy was.]

You know him?

Voice wellsuited July 25 2010, 05:18:31 UTC

[Elena winced, a little worried for Zack too. But keeping him in the dark wouldn't help. Paths would cross eventually.]

He's...a piece of Sephiroth. One of the crazy pieces. We spent some time together back on Gaia.

[And from the sound of her voice, it wasn't exactly funtiems.]

Voice i_love_squats July 25 2010, 05:30:46 UTC

[Their paths were already crossing, what with their slightly toxic banter back and forth. And she didn't have to say what their history entailed for him to know it wasn't pleasant; listening to their conversation and hearing her tone, he had a damn good idea. ]

How-- A piece? How many are there? And how they'd come to be?

Voice wellsuited July 25 2010, 05:38:10 UTC

There's three of them. At least there was three. And -- I'll explain everything, but Zack, watch yourself! He's dangerous!

Voice i_love_squats July 25 2010, 05:50:59 UTC

[Three. Okay. And he's not so much worried about himself as he's worried about her.]

Tomorrow morning, first thing, Elena. I want to know everything.

Voice wellsuited July 25 2010, 05:52:24 UTC

You might as well get it tonight.

[It's not like she'll be sleeping, not with Silver McShooty around now.]

Voice i_love_squats July 25 2010, 05:54:01 UTC

Even better.

[Zack likes that nickname. It's fitting.]

Voice velvet_zealot July 25 2010, 05:06:08 UTC

You're losing your touch if that's all you've got up your sleeve...

Voice wellsuited July 25 2010, 05:23:31 UTC

If.

[Elena tries to sound strong, confident. But what good could that really do against someone so arrogant?

Don't answer that.]

I hate to burst your bubble -- actually, that's not true. I love it.

There's nothing for you here!
