Video post 003 Ѽ For whom the bells toll [Accidental]

[failssassin]

[The video feed starts with the view of the inside of a hand, the whistling of the wind almost covering the sound of quick footsteps. The sound of feet against rooftop tiles changes to the creaking sound of wood as Desmond drops down from his path to the streets using crates by the building he's on top of. He lands into the dark alleyway with a

-*&$# &^@#& *&#!@# [yeah just kind of lettin' rip that mouth of his.]

Is that Tifa!? Where the *&$# is that!? [so he can do...something. honestly he has no idea but he couldn't just let her lie there like that.]

[ video ]

[failssassin]

[The obscenities roll off Desmond's back since he does have a foul mouth at times too. It's the tone that surprises him and he gives the other man a raised eyebrow]

You know Tifa?

[He looks old enough to be his father. Please don't let it be his father, he doesn't want to have to tell the man about his now dead daughter.]

[ video ]

[smokesinspace]

Yeah she's a good friend of mine. Now what the hell is goin' on!?

[ video ]

[failssassin]

Well....She...[How the hell is he suppose to break the news to the other man?] There's been an incident....

[...This is why he'll never be a police officer]

[ video ]

[smokesinspace]

What the hell kind of incident!?

[ video ]

[failssassin]

[He winces. Crap, maybe he should be straightforward?]

The unfortunate kind. Look, I have no idea what really happened, I just dropped in and all I know is that Tifa.....[Yeah, he can't even say it out loud.]

[ video ]

[smokesinspace]

[welp. he'll say it for you then.]

*&$#, is she dead? Where the hell is she!? [he's already heading out.]

[ video ]

[failssassin]

[And to hear it out loud makes him cringe even more]

Y-yeah...she is.

I'm close to the Arena in the Residential district.

[smokesinspace]

'Bout damn time!

[and he's hanging up and heading over. dammit, Tifa, what the hell happened??]

[ video -> action ]

[failssassin]

[Desmond gives a rather dumbstruck look at the cut off feed on his Dreamberry. He had just wanted to break the news as nicely as he could, but apparently, he did it wrong. Not that it matters not and the Assassin in training waist by his friend's body for the older man to arrive.]

[ action ]

[smokesinspace]

[it's Cid, there's no nice way with him. anyway, he won't be waiting long as the old pilot runs up to the location. and when he saw the body-]

...Shit! Tifa what the fuck did you get into...

[ action ]

[failssassin]

I have no idea. Does she have any enemies here in this world?

[How can anyone hate a sweet woman like Tifa is beyond Desmond's comprehension. But she told him before that she knows how to fight and there's got to be a reason for that, no?]

[ action ]

[smokesinspace]

'Cept for the psycho from our world that came before he went psycho-don't ask-don't think so.

[ action ]

[failssassin]

[That gets a raised eyebrow at Cid. A psycho not yet psycho from their world is here? Well, that's reassuring. Only not. Still, that rules out Tifa knowing her assailant.]

So that's not personal then. And I doubt Tifa picked up the fight first either.

[ action ]

[smokesinspace]

[he can bet Cid ain't too please about it either.]

No, she's too smart for that. But whoever did it can expect a fight from me and the rest of us.

[which makes him pause.]

Did a blond spikey haired kid call you?

[ action ]

[failssassin]

[He promises he'll keep a closer eye on her, providing Tifa comes back from the dead like Isabelle did.]

I'm pretty sure her assailant would have defensive wounds as well. Looks like she went down with a fight. [And the novice knows first hand how the brunette can hold her own in a fight.

At the mention of Cloud, Desmond nods]

Yeah, he did. Didn't really take this well either...
