[To anyone who met the other Lightning, this one might be a surprise. She's wearing torn and bloody clothing. She's also still covered in her own blood, though any signs of actual injury is gone.]

I thought I made it clear the last time..

I'm done doing another God's, or Gods, bidding.

[Been there, done that. Ended up dead because Cosmos

[metaleyedgirl]

....One, how do you know Yunie and two, I thought you were with Snow?

[Yeah, guess who's talked to the other Lightning already?]

[destinytofall]

[She eyes the blonde warily, distrust settling on her face. How did she know Yuna's nickname? Better yet--]

How do I know Yuna? How do you know her?

[Could this person be from... Yuna's world? It's possible. They knew they were summoned from their homes to fight in the Conflict... But Yuna never mentioned a blonde girl. Just that blond guy who fought on Chaos's side...]

And whose 'Snow'?

[metaleyedgirl]

She's my cousin. Snow's the big guy? With the bandana? Kind of derpy, blond?

[destinytofall]

[A cousin? She stares at the blonde for a moment, trying to find the resemblance. It could be a bluff except she knows that who ever is in charge here... It can't be Chaos or Cosmos. The letter implied that much.]

The only blond and big guy I know is Kain. 'Derpy Blond'? Vaan. Firion's the one with the bandanna and he don't have blond hair.

[broduil]

There are many who feel the same way, though their efforts have amounted to little so far.

[destinytofall]

If they didn't get far, then they should try harder.

[broduil]

Then perhaps you could provide a better example.

[ not that he's trying actively to escape, but he vaguely supports those who are. ]

[destinytofall]

Have they tried fighting a first hand?

[Not that she actually fought Chaos by herself, or ever. It was always his warriors or those manikins...]

[dontneedplans]

Whuh-?

Sis!?

[Oh my god why is she all bloody he just saw you at breakfast what the fuck!!!

Sounds of crashing in the background...]

video;

[destinytofall]

Just who are you calling 'Sis'?

[There's no recognition in her eyes, absolutely nothing that implies she knows him at all. Instead, there's only open suspicion.]

Do I know you?

[You weren't in the Conflict. She knows that much. At least not in the Cycle she remembers...]

[dontneedplans]

[He's not even sure how to answer that when he responds a moment later- considering the last time he saw someone important to him that wasn't all that met the eye? Yeah, didn't turn out so well. Hot rage courses through Snow's veins.]

Yeah?! Think I'm gonna buy another one of your tricks when Lightning's right here!? Well, think again!

Re: video;

[destinytofall]

What tricks?

[At the mention of her name, her head shoots up. Her eyes narrow further at the implication that there's another.]

A Manikin here? [That can't be right. They destroyed the portal. She closed it! She knows she did. She watched it close.]

[pyritic]

[ ... What. ]

You didn't say you were from Gaia.

What happened?

video;

[destinytofall]

You!

What are you doing here?!

[And why are you dressed so differently, Warrior of Chaos?!]

And don't you already know? You were on His side after all.

[pyritic]

Wha--

[ That kind of anger from her is throwing him off. Not that they'd got along so well when talking, but nothing happened to explain this. ]

video;

[pyritic]

[ And then he snaps out of it, narrowing his eyes. ] Hey. Lookin' like that I wouldn't be surprised if you cracked your head, so let's clear things up.

One, I'm on no one's side. Two, I was kidnapped. Like everyone else. So I don't know what you're yelling at me for.

Three--[ And most important of all to him]--how do you know Tifa? Tifa Lockhart?

[hystorical]

[equipped with Healing, her very first reaction at seeing all that blood is... well. panicky, mostly. without even looking closer to see if she's actually injured.]

Oh my...! Are you alright?! Where are you? I can patch you up right away!

[destinytofall]

[The surroundings behind her indicate she's somewhere outside the Castle Plaza, heading toward Thor District...]

Alright? [Is she alright? No, she isn't alright. She just found herself alive. Tired, covered in grim and blood but most of all alive.

[Not that anyone should know about that. Yet, if ever.]

...I'm fine. Just need a shower. And some new clothes.

[hystorical]

You don't look fine at all! Aren't you injured? [yeah, because clearly it looks like it...]

[destinytofall]

I'm fine. [She stresses harder on that last word, hoping that the girl would get the message.]

I only need to clean up.
