This is unacceptable.

Private to Rufus // Hackable.

One of your subordinates has recently broken into my house. This person did not cover their steps well, most notably because they took several items of a personal significance to me and left the toilet seat up. I suppose there is no need to request them back; I have better things to do than engage

Something vexes thee, my darling professor? I can't think of what it might be, because I'm still alive and well!

[a_failed_god]

I have far greater priorities than you, Sasori.

[somes_auditus]

It would seem so! How sad. And here I was going to offer you whatever assistance I can offer. And you'd be surprised how long the list is. We have, after all, a business arrangement, do we not?

Private // Unhackable.

[a_failed_god]

... Yes.

Yes, we do. Though I'm surprised to see you so willing to fulfill your side of the deal, with no offense intended.

I require your assistance.

[Private//NOT hackable]

[i_must_repent]

I would have no worry, to that end. Let me alone, and you may have your silence.

[Private//NOT hackable]

[a_failed_god]

How treacherous. And here I thought you enjoyed our time together.

... So be it.

[breaking_bonds]

Someone seems less than pleased.

Private // Unhackable.

[a_failed_god]

Is it that obvious?

My house has been ransacked without justification. I'm hardly surprised, I must say; Rufus is no less of a thug for having been 'reformed', it appears.

Private // Unhackable.

[breaking_bonds]

Perhaps a little.

Rufus?
Perhaps you need a bodyguard.

The President of the Shinra Company that recently sprung up. It appears he has lost his mind, as irrational as this place has made him.

Perhaps I do. Are you offering assistance?

[calamitousness]

Pfft, whoever broke in must've been an armature. A real thief, like me, never leaves a trace of their presence.

[a_failed_god]

An amateur, perhaps, or in a terrible hurry.

The absence of several documents and some destroyed and stolen equipment was indicative enough; there was no way to cover it up in the time I was gone.

... Or perhaps they expect to foresee retaliation.

[calamitousness]

Thieves are supposed to be fast, though. Even in a hurry, a good one cleans up after the heist.

Ohh. Well... I could steal the stuff back?

Maybe. I mean, messing up someone's house usually is a good way to piss them off.

[a_failed_god]

I doubt your affiliation in these circumstances coincides with my own. The culprit works for Rufus Shinra.

[foreswear]

Nothing less than what you had coming, I imagine.

[a_failed_god]

Perhaps.

That won't stop me taking retaliatory action, as you are surely aware.

[foreswear]

I would have been pleasantly surprised if you had remained quiet and passive about it, actually. I can't say that it will be entirely wise on your part, however. After all, you do have a number of factors - and people - working all against you.

[a_failed_god]

In a world where one can't die, does the small matter of enemies really carry any weight?

I can come back again. Again. Again. Until I have completed what she asks of me.
