[The girl staring at the crystal is silent for a moment. She's not actually staring at the crystal, of course, but rather sort of... through it at nothingness that happens to be in the proper direction. There's something very muddled and mildly afraid about the way she's holding her shoulders. It's clear she wants to speak, and also clear that her ( Read more... )

[ Because she's one of the few Tifa's met here and the first that she's heard from since the end of the battle. ] River?

[ Do you hear that bit of maternal concern? Good, because you're meant to. ]

AUDIO || ♥~ lightning_fists July 30 2010, 15:05:56 UTC

[ And that really doesn't help her at all, but Tifa's not stupid enough to say that to River. So she'll just be glancing around at all the doors and such and continue on her merry way towards where the reception sounds clearer. ] What else do you see?

AUDIO || learneditall July 30 2010, 15:11:39 UTC

[Peace offering clearly taken, so River allows a little sigh of something like relief as the footsteps resume.

Although the whimsy is clearly back in her brainpan, her voice is quietly earnest. Answering questions with the truth is good, right?]

...my blanket. It's too long for my bed when it's turned this way. And... the floor. It's metal.

AUDIO || lightning_fists July 30 2010, 15:16:06 UTC

[ Good in that it makes Tifa smile a little and wanna laugh at the innocence. But she doesn't, promise. And for a brief moment, she remembers how Marlene when she was little and not so... grown up in her young age. And Denzel too, really despite only having him in her life for the past three years. ] Is there anything past the blanket?

AUDIO || learneditall July 30 2010, 15:23:27 UTC

...my room.

[Despite the slightly flat tone devoid of amusement, there's also a little rustle as the girl shifts her blanket aside to peek out from her hiding spot beneath the bed.]

It looks like Serenity.

AUDIO || lightning_fists July 30 2010, 15:31:30 UTC

[ Shakes her head. Point taken, no more stupid questions for River to answer. Teenagers. Really. She's gonna have fun dealing with them when Denzel and Marlene are at that age.

Still, her curiosity is piqued. And distractions are always a nice thing to have for one whose mind is not exactly always stable. ] ...Tell me about Serenity.

[The slightest pause. And then the scrape of nails on metal as River crawls properly out from under her bed. Her tone is still very calmly matter-of-fact, but there's just the slightest edge of wistfulness in it now.]

She's beautiful. A Firefly. Transport. Not a junker. Mal named her because it was important to remember.

AUDIO || lightning_fists July 31 2010, 01:06:23 UTC

[ A wistfulness that Tifa could plainly hear as the words crackled through with more and more crystal clarity. Whatever this Serenity is or was, for River, it was home. A place to belong and a place full of lasting memories. A place to desperately return to once this was all over. Tifa could relate to that. For her, it was the 7th Heaven Bar that she owned. ] Remember what?

AUDIO || learneditall July 31 2010, 01:20:30 UTC

Remember... before. [A little tick to her voice as she imitates Zoe--quite well, not that it will matter to Tifa.] 'Once you've been in Serenity... you just learn to live there.'

[The faintest sigh, and a tiny scrape of metal. Did you catch that? Because it was River tugging her door open juuuust a hair before slinking back under her bed.]

It takes 18, but there are only 9. [A pause. And a tinier voice.] 7.

AUDIO || lightning_fists July 31 2010, 02:33:45 UTC

[ And those words just confirms what she had suspected. It was her home. Serenity was River's home. Though, what sort of home it was in the physical sense...

But she does catch the light scrape of metal. In fact, Tifa hears it echoing in the hall somewhere. There's just a matter of finding out where, exactly, it came from... ] Only... seven, now?

AUDIO || learneditall July 31 2010, 02:49:25 UTC

...it wasn't my fault.

[Do you hear the guilt, momma-bear? Because it's getting thicker again.]

AUDIO || lightning_fists July 31 2010, 03:19:53 UTC

[ Loud and clear Baby Bear. That is a definite DNW. I repeat, DNW, prepare to exterminate.

...*cough* I mean...

She wasn't sure what the numbers meant, but there were assumptions. River had mentioned Transport in relation to Serenity which was often a phrase she would hear Cid and Barret mention. Serenity must have been a vehicle of some sort. A large one if it took 18 people (she assumes that's what the numbers meant). And now there are only... ] No one's blaming you, River.

AUDIO || learneditall July 31 2010, 03:29:04 UTC

[In the face of DNW this particular brand of bad memories and the continued implication of others that she was involved in some sort of outburst of violence in the time that's been lost, have some silence.

And a tiny, tiny sniffle.]

[The shaky inhaling and exhaling that follows is good evidence that River is trying her damndest not to. It's difficult, what with the way her ability to control emotions was literally ripped from her brain, but she's doing a good job just breathing.]

AUDIO || lightning_fists July 31 2010, 13:13:09 UTC

[ A helpless sigh is Tifa's response because oh god, the mother gene is kicking in overtime right now and her footsteps are going just a half-beat faster as she looks for the right door. So many doors. Closed doors. Where's the opened one? ] Was Serenity beautiful, River? What did she look like?
