[Video- filter for both Remnants & Rufus]

[Sephiroth is in the Hotel now, currently in room forty-three. Likely it will give some people some peace of mind that the General still looks rather sane despite his meeting with Genesis and the altercation which followed that]It would seem the room I've been assigned to already has an occupant. If the person currently staying within room 43 could

Welcome back.

[Well, that hadn't been expected but it was mentally shrugged off since he had briefly left town during his brief fight with Genesis.]

Thank you.

[The next words are spoken quietly, almost half to himself.] I likely will never understand that man's reasons for the actions he took, nor why he lied about such a trivial thing as a name.

[He smirks. He didn't mean it that way, but he enjoys his reaction. When he speaks again, it's with slight uncertainty.]

Do you know what to do...?

What?

[Filtered ; Video]

[glorious_mercy]

Actually no, at least not at this moment. Too much has changed and despite it being the most familiar role, I can no longer allow myself to play the role the loyal General.

[A quiet sigh escapes and there's silence for a minute as he debates speaking of what he meant by the previous statement.]

Hojo. You were correct in that he lied about my mother, or rather he lied about her name. My mother's name wasn't Jenova, but Lucrecia Crescent.

[Shelke obviously had never met Sephiroth. She knew about him of course through files; not Lucrecia's memories though. Those were only fragments...
However for some reason, the girl felt a need to contact Sephiroth. The only problem was; she had no idea what to say so instead there was a quick connection and a flash of her face before it was cut.]

[Not so fast there, miss. Have a return call from the general.]

Hello? Might I ask whom you are?

Re: [Video]

[fragmentedsnd]

I...am Shelke...

[She felt nervous for once and thanks to recent events and her tiredness she was showing it. Sometimes she didn't like having Lucrecia's memories and emotions running her actions.]

I was...a member of Deepground. An old employee of ShinRa once.

[glorious_mercy]

Hello, Shelke. Are you well? You look tired.

I've heard the name mentioned before. A woman I've spoken with before spoke of it.

[The background of the transmission shows that Rufus is likely in the bar of the hotel, seated at a table. He sighs.]

I assume Genesis has thrown caution to the wind and told you everything--or enough to spur these questions, anyway.

[He calmly takes a drink of whatever clear liquid is in his glass before continuing.]

Very well, if you'd like the truth: you killed my father. You achieved what I had been attempting for years. In fact, given what good eventually came from his death, I believe I owe you thanks.

[ Video - Locked ]

[glorious_mercy]

Yes. I've spoken with him on the matter of some future events.

[Have a slight eyebrow raise at that statement of gratitude, and suddenly a few things concerning AVALANCHE's actions make considerable more sense now. However he has the good grace not to bring that up.]

I see.

[ Video - Locked forever~ ]

[gildthepast]

You'll forgive me for not outlining the whole of your future quite so suddenly, I hope? I carelessly let slip a bit too much information to someone else, not so very long ago, and I believe it had... well, certainly more of a negative effect than I had intended.

Situations such as these don't come up very often in normal circumstances, after all.

[ Video - Locked forever~ ]

[glorious_mercy]

True. I'll not be holding your omission against you, don't worry. However, I hope you'll forgive me when I state that I don't think I can continue working in good faith under your company's banner.

I have nothing against you or your people here however, so if we can go our separate ways without the same drama which followed Angeal & Genesis's own defections, I can assure you that I won't purposely harm you or yours without valid reason to have done so.

[glorious_mercy]

Thank you, I'll look into asking him if the one staying here doesn't respond or return to their room here soon.

May I ask whom I'm speaking to?

[glorious_mercy]

[Well that had been unexpected, and after a moment of consideration, he managed to call her back, waiting silently for her to pick up.]

[ video -> action ]

[fragmented_sinx]

[ He looks at the room number and realizes it was his own. So brother is with him, hmm? This will certainly be interesting. Since had nothing to say to what he had filtered to them, he was seemingly aware of it as he pays attention to everything clearly. At least he came back in one piece. Though, he said nothing right now. There wasn't any need for that. He'll just confront him in their room, apparently.

The room door creaks opened as the remnant enters the room, closing it behind him. Was there a need to say anything? Surely he figured out who his roommate was now that he entered the room. ]

[ action ]

[glorious_mercy]

[Looking up after finishing the last of the conversations over the phone, he silently studied the young man which had just entered the room. Fate had a sick sense of humor it would seem.

Perhaps the unsettling feeling he'd had previous had something to do with that theory Shelke had spoken of. He still wasn't sure just what to think of the revelation that both Kadaj and Yazoo were actually a part of him and not unfortunate victims of Hojo's experimentation as he'd previously thought.]

[ action ]

[fragmented_sinx]

[ Apparently it seemed so. Yazoo was still surprised to see the man here co-existing with what was created from his wills, and what was a sliver, a shadow of him. Yet, for some apparent reason, this man, Sephiroth was not the man that he expected to meet. There was something off about him, or maybe it was because the remnant was expecting someone that he would afraid of. There was nothing to fear about this man, not right now, anyway.

No, they were not made by Hojo. They were merely created to carry out his will after all. The silence continued, abrupt. The remnant didn't say anything yet, but tugged at his gloves as he walked over to sit on his own bed. Well, there were many questions that he wanted to pose to this man but they didn't need to be proposed right now. The only question that was important. What should they do? ]

[ action ]

[glorious_mercy]

[Sephiroth watches Yazoo silently from his seat across the room, mulling over several things in his mind. Finally breaking the lengthy silence a few minutes later.]

Yazoo..what is your goal here?
