[ Well that's interesting. Tifa was thrown off by the sudden appearance of the city -- she'd just been headed towards the youth seated on the ground with the books when the scenery had appeared from nowhere.
It wasn't something she was used to.
Still, managing to get her bearings, Tifa approaches the boy in front of her (with a little trepidation-- he doesn't look dangerous, but then again, neither do the rabbits outside Edge), one hand reaching up to tuck her hair behind her ears. ] Excuse me.. what just happened, here?
[Well... a boy by age anyway. When he hears that sound of another voice, he smoothly rises to his feet before turning to face his 'guest'. Frankly, he was in a great mood right now and admittedly, that probably made him more trusting than he should be.]
It's great, ain't it?
[Kamina's cape flaps in the wind as he give a cursory glance at the newly-unfolded city, thus far finding that the fruits of his efforts meet his standards.]
Finally getting around to making my own space around here! But I got the idea that if it's all dreams and shit here, then why just settle for making a world I'll never see again?
[He pauses a moment to let that sink in, buying him a moment to eye the young lady in his presence.]
So I made something new and different! What'do ya think?!
[He gives a nod before giving another cursory look to his new stomping grounds.]
Me neither.
[Completely casual and yet that look on his face still says he's plentifully amused.]
Found out pretty early on in my stay here that I'm dead as a doornail back where I came from. So I thought if I was gonna carve out some space of my own here, I'd wanna see something different! Something amazing!
[She's been there before: Limbo. The white emptiness between life and death. This reminds her of it. She comes forward slowly, footsteps echoing against nothing somehow.
Ami turns sharply the moment things begin to build and grow; but she's done this sort of thing herself in the dream world. After a moment to take her bearings again, then she finally demands her answer from Kamina.]
[Ah good, a familiar voice. And not just any familiar voice, but one of the people he'd been hoping he'd run into. Frankly, their past few encounters had ended on something of a downer note -Mercury would prove to be an exceptional challenge for him to bring around. It wasn't a matter of good, evil, positive or negative... to him, getting her to come around was a matter of giving her something with substance to hedge her bets on.
He wanted her to believe with the same spirit and fervor that he did. And not in something as trivial as hate. It was believing in something; in herself, in those around her and most importantly, in those closest to her. Even if he was willing to bet that she'd probably be a fair deal more subdued with such an outlook. Well, at least on the outside.
Kamina rises with his usual dramatic flair, his cape fluttering behind him as he crosses his arms over his chest.]
What's it look like, I'm bangin' out a section of the dream world for me. It's really something, ain't it?
It can be kind of fun to do that. But if you're letting others in here, it won't stay as yours.
[It's just a habitual banter at this point; though she sees it as true. Once he invites in the outside, the solace of that strict control - as she would see it - is lost.]
[He gives a casual shrug at that remark. Of course he didn't have any intention to keep it as entirely his. That would get boring. Not to mention kind of lonely. He probably didn't explain himself right, this wasn't a sanctuary by any means, this was a stage for some mind-blowing adventure.
And if he got lucky and could kick things properly in his favor, maybe he'd be able to turn the outlook of a couple people he knew around.]
Of course! If I made a place just for me, it'd get boring as hell in a hurry. This is gonna be a gathering place of fiery spirits!
[Anxious to show what he had in mind, he clears some of the books away from one of the coffee tables, revealing a laptop with a video file cued up. And while the operation of the peculiar device was still fairly new to him, he'd thankfully been wandering from dream to dream and finding a few that had such devices to at least get the gist of how to work it. Thankfully, while he's not tech-savvy by any stretch, it seems even he could figure out the basics on his own. And it didn't
( ... )
[Oh look, just who he wanted to see. Well that makes things a lot better now, doesn't it?]
Oi! Yoko!
[Kamina takes a few steps toward her, gesturing to his new play space and doing a little-not-really-twirl, but turn-in-place step before continuing toward the redhead.]

[She's a little overwhelmed right now. Give her a second.]
What...what is this place?
[Yoko is pretty sure it's not something that Kamina came up with this on his own--she hasn't seen the table yet--but she's never seen a city before.]

[He gestures to the table and stacks of photo books.]
I grabbed these from other people's dreams for ideas cause I wanted something different and new from what I was used to!
