There was a time when I would find all of this very disruptive. And mildly disconcerting.

Unsurprisingly, I am too desensitized to care. I was, however, able to muster up an eye roll. It seemed only fitting.

Once more into the breach...

.. you'll catch a cold if you stay in there, sir..

[ashenice]

My dear, I think a cold will be the least of my worries now.

[moonswansong]

Oh? You would know better, I suppose. Would you like some help?

[ashenice]

Perhaps a bit of aid might not be a bad idea. May I ask your name, miss?

[demonvalentine]

Rufus Shinra..?

So this place has you too.. figures.

[ashenice]

Yes...

You did not truly think that I would be able to leave forever, did you? Not even I held that belief when I walked upon the face of Gaia once more.

[demonvalentine]

.. ah. What a surprise. It is good to see someone from home.. even.. even if this means we have no idea how to return..

But that is where you were, were you not..? How is it there?

[ashenice]

Why in the nine hells is it a surprise? After all of the insanity that we have been forced to endure here, is it not within the realm of possibility that our chance to return home is a lie as well?

Yes. It is... different. As much as I have come to hate this place, I have also grown accustomed to it. Returning to Edge was like walking into a city I have seen only in my dreams. It was surreal, but I was beginning to adjust.

[...... bugger all, I can't b'lieve m' eyes! We were worried 'bout ya- well, I was, anyway. Bloody 'ell, but it's been crazy- and kinna lonely- 'round here wi'out you 'n Sephiroth 'round t' cause trouble. Wait'll Reeve finds out! Once I figger out where th' hell he is, anyway.... One small problem... er... Reeve thinks ya left for Gaia when Tseng did. There's been a lotta screwed-up stuff happenin' and somea this he needed t' forget but.... I reckon it'll come back t' him once he sees ya!

... oh, an' think ya could give him some advice? He got a new pet f'r Christmas- kinda like a Dark Nation cub, but wi' stripes- and she keeps tryin' t' chew m' tail off. Help?]

((ooc: welcome back, Rufus! <3 Strikeouts deleted~))

Considering that we cannot manage to be in the same place for longer than five minutes without an explosion or two and a bit of bloodshed, I have no doubt that the days of peace and quiet are going to be a thing of the past quite soon. Perhaps it would be best for him to continue to forget; I imagine that we caused him a great deal of trouble.

Has anyone attempted to play with her? Dark Nation used to enjoy a good tumble and bite every so often. Nothing major of course, a few pinpricks at most when she got carried away. Though, if you require someone to entertain her, I will be returning to the mansion shortly and would be more than happy to occupy her time.

[OOC; Telling him that there's a cat in the mansion is probably the best greeting a person could give him. ^_-]

[Psssh, as if that's ever bothered 'im before. Hell, he'd be dead'n'gone if it wasn't f'r you two! Reeve'll be glad t' see ya, trust me.

Well, she kinda rips most toys apart... s'pose I could try it. Reeve's always been better at this'n me, she'll b'have f'r him, but she thinks I'm a toy... well, I'll have her waitin' when ya get here. She's gettin' t' be more'n I can handle, she is....]

((ooc: Rufus is going to end up with a lap full of feisty Siberian tiger cub when he gets there. XD And a very happy robot cat waiting with a brandy. <3 ))

[ashenice]

I am glad that we were able to do some good. I hope Reeve is making the most of his life and not stirring up trouble. Or fighting with Vincent.

I look forward to meeting her. Does she have a name?

[OOC: Rufus's dignity forbids him from doing the Happy Dance, but he shall still be thinking it, even if he can't actually do it.]
