[A rather tall man stumbled out of the shadows that graced the alley between two buildings. The former general had been nearly certain that when everything had vanished into the that suffocating darkness that he would never see any light again. The fact he had somehow been released from it or somehow had managed to escape was overshadowed rather

[Was that who he thought it was?

...

As much as he hated to admit it, there was no mistaking the guy for anybody else. But...how?! Zack ignored the logic that told him that Cloud didn't remember going to Nibelheim, so of course it was totally plausible that Sephiroth would be walking around as fresh as a daisy.

But still! He couldn't - this didn't - ]

Sephiroth?!

[video] herp derp

[glorious_mercy]

[Good to know he wasn't the only survivor it would appear, if Zack is quick enough to catch sight of it, there's some subtle relief that Zack is here and alive with him in this place.]

Yes, Zack?

[video] |D

[soldierboy777]

[Zack is too busy freaking to catch that relief, unfortunately. His mouth opens and closes a few times like he's about to say something, but it's a good thirty seconds before he actually gets the words here.]

How did you get here?!

[video]

[glorious_mercy]

[Sephiroth waits patiently enough for Zack to get his words out but unfortunately the question isn't one he can exactly answer.]

I do not know. Before Midgar and the rest of the world was beset by strange shadows and unexplained darkness, I was to head for Modeoheim to investigate something there.

Do you recall or know how you arrived here?

Re: [video]

[soldierboy777]

Modeoheim?

[But that meant...]

But I thought you -

[Arrrguh. His head hurt. Zack frowned, an expression that was clearly out of place on him, but what else could he do? If Sephiroth was telling the truth, then he didn't even know that Angeal was...]

...No, I don't. I just kinda fell in. [Literally.]

[video]

[glorious_mercy]

[He half wants to ask Zack to complete that statement he started but decides that perhaps it might be best to have that done in person instead of over this device, so he lets it go for the time being.]

I see.

Regardless, it is good to see you've survived and are here Zack. Is there anyone else here from our world that you know of?

[soldierboy777]

Hey, you know me, I'm not gonna let a little darkness bring me down.

[Now that he thought about it, he really shouldn't have been all that surprised that Sephiroth made it here. The guy had been practically invincible at home, after all. It was just...really jarring, and not in an entirely good way. Still, it was nice to see someone familiar.]

Yeah, just - [Pauses, then continues almost kind of tentatively, like he wasn't sure he should be saying this, but when had that ever stopped him?] - my buddy Cloud. But that's all so far.

[video]

[glorious_mercy]

[Have a small hint of a smile come and go at the first words and he nods in acknowledgement of the last statement.]

It is good your friend made it as well then, I wouldn't wish staying behind in that on anyone. [The sensation of utter silence, lack of light...being unable to even breathe was still there in the back of his mind when he thought of it and likely would linger there for a while yet. At least until he had something to do with himself that would let him forget his last moments on their world.]

[video]

[soldierboy777]

Me neither.

[Which just sent him down a train of thought he wished he wouldn't go down. Would Aerith make it out? Kunsel? Cissnei? At least he had Cloud here. And now an apparently sane Sephiroth.]

You're in Traverse Town, right? Have you run into any Heartless?

[video]

[glorious_mercy]

It would seem so and not as of yet, if you mean those moving shadows.

[video]

[soldierboy777]

Yeah, those wiggly - [Waggles his fingers, like Sephiroth actually needs a demonstration] - shadow things. Probably don't need to tell you twice - [Grins] - or at all, but stay clear of 'em. I've heard they eat hearts.
