[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

S-Sir! Infantryman Strife reporting.

[Nearly dropping the communicator in his hands..]

If I might say so, Sir, I'm glad to see you're safe.

[Now there is the blond he actually knew from before and fortunately a civil greeting from the boy, which really just made him that much more confused on the issue of the elder version of the blond and why he'd given him such hostility.]

Thank you, Strife. I'm glad to see you're safe as well.

You may stand down and relax, it would seem we'll be off-duty here since the company we serve is no longer in existence.

[bblineface]

T-thank you, Sir.

[Calling him by name just seemed too informal, it'd be hard to break that habit.]

I believe you're in a place called Traverse Town. [So he's probably been told several times.] There are other worlds, ones that haven't been taken. Strange places.

[He understands the fact that he likely won't be getting called by name by the boy for awhile no matter the assurance it's alright to do so now so he let's it go for now. There's more interesting things at hand anyway, like the aforementioned worlds that the boy has brought to his attention.]

Oh? Have you personal experience of these other worlds or is the knowledge second-hand?

[Video]

[bblineface]

Personal experience, Sir. Just two of them, Radiant Garden and Atlantica. The latter turned us into merpeople. [Almost became shark food.]

[Video]

[glorious_mercy]

[Merpeople? What in Shiva's name was that? He decides not to ask for clarification though, just making a mental note not to head for that place unless he had to.]

I see. What is the first one like?

[He's curious about it mostly due to the simple fact the other Cloud mentioned it in such a way it would seem he was from that world.]

[Video]

[bblineface]

Not much, looks like it's falling apart at the seams in some places. The people here though, they're working on rebuilding it.

[Pause.] Has an interesting security system for fighting off the Heartless. You'd have to see it for yourself, Sir.

[glorious_mercy]

[Which actually leads him to think about a new issue which hadn't come to mind until rather recently.]

How does one travel between these worlds?

[Video]

[bblineface]

Space travel, Sir. By Gummi ship, they run on smiles and- [He realizes how ridiculous that sounds. He's lucky he had Zack around.]

[glorious_mercy]

[Okay, Cloud you're about to get treated to your first glimpse of humor in the General's expression even as the raised eyebrow expresses his personal disbelief in the statement you just said. Space travel he semi-understands since Shinra had been working on launching a ship into space around the time things had gone to hell, but it ran on fuel not a human expression...]

...they run on smiles?
