"Hello! I don't believe we've officially introduced ourselves. I'm Rain."

He shrugs and sighs.
"That bit was sort of a relief to me...I was hunted back home."
Reply
Vincent had never been hunted by Shinra, probably because he was of no real value to them and it would have taken too many people to actually subjugate him now that Hojo had turned him into a monster. And right now, they probably knew better than to try and mess with him.
"What is your world like ?"
Vincent wasn't much for socializing, but he was slightly curious. So many people coming from places he could never have imagined ...
Reply
He pondered for a moment.
"It's very large. I suppose most worlds are...It's mostly a desert, with forests scattered around. Each town has its own sort of government, but there's a national network of bounties and news and that sort of thing. It's not really that bad--it's just..."
He trails off in thought, shakes his head and resumes after a few seconds.
"...the people want to use me."
Reply
That was a known feeling. Vincent had thought he was free of it, and now Deepground was after him, for reasons he did not understand himself.
"My world is in ruins, trying to repair itself ..."
Reply
He sighed heavily. No matter how much he disliked Yuca's thought processes, he would have to give him at least this one.
"...that people can't seem to see consequences for the future--if you follow what I'm saying--they--on my world, they scrambled after me, forgetting all things civil and just...trying to figure out how I'd been around for so long."

That, at least, had never happend to Vincent. Everyone knew perfectly well why he'd been aroud for so long. He didn't make a mystery of it when asked.
"There are many people who did wrong things on our Planet ... but it can defend itself."
Reply
"The planet defends itself?"
Reply
"There is an energy flowing through our Planet. It is made of everything that has ever lived. We return to it when we die. It also used to be our main source of energy, for a while. When the Planet was on the brink of destruction, the Lifestream erupted from it and ... saved us."
That was the short version, of course.

Well, the concept is completely and totally alien to Rain, but after a few seconds of thought, he smiles broadly.
"...amazing. All that has ever lived gives true and real life to your home. It's all one force, in the end."
He scratches his head.
"Wow."
Reply
It was of course, more complicated than that, and there had been rather ... unforeseen consequences.
"Why did people want to use you ?"
Not much for social niceties, as usual.

Well, Vince seems like a reasonable fellow. Someone he can trust--at least so far. He's shared the secrets of his world with him, after all.
"Well, I'm--I'm immortal. I can't die by aging or being shot or anything like that. There are only a few things that can actually kill me. I'm the only successful immortal ever created and the men on my world want that secret."
Reply
"Why do people torture others in the name of knowledge ?"
His voice was low, as if he were talking to himself.
Reply
"It's...this isn't a life anyone else needs."
