Guess that didn't work, huh?

[ He doesn't really recall his dream, or anything from before it; trying to remember is like walking into a dense fog... ]

[ The last he recalls he was with Loz chasing Cloud in the tunnel back on the highway in Midgar... ]

Didn't work...?

[ Sorry, Jen. He doesn't remember you, either. ]

[oopsiatehim]

Ugh. Don't tell me you went all amnesiac.

[Or... went home and came back without a memory. That idea isn't making her happy. She presses her lips together, hard.]

[ Video ]

[velvet_zealot]

Oh...how could I forget.

[ladyofthesouth]

[Well. That's... something.]

[She looks a little startled on the video, and has her hand pressed to her throat which, happily, still has the rest of her attached to it.]

Yazoo...

[ If he cared, he'd ask how you know his name, but he doesn't care. ]

[ That impartial gaze is fixed on the camera for all of a moment before it wanders away, staring off somewhere to the side, eyes rolling... ]

...Do you want something?

[ladyofthesouth]

[And that is not the response she was hoping for. She stares for a moment and then (in true Luciela fashion) she begins to pout.]

My darling, there's no need to be so harsh. You've only just returned to us.

...You do remember, don't you?

[velvet_zealot]

[ A small snort, and his head tilts to the side, chin upwards a little. ]

Darling...? Don't make me laugh.

Where is Mother?

[machiavellisms]

I take it that you were rejected once more?

[velvet_zealot]

[ He stares at the screen and ponders what it is you could mean, Rufus. Because he doesn't remember his dream, or what came before it...recalls only being in the tunnel with his brother Loz last. Kadaj...had Mother, didn't he? But where is everyone now? ]

I don't know what you mean.

[machiavellisms]

I'm not surprised that you don't. [the fact of the matter is that he doesn't know either.]

[ video ]

[velvet_zealot]

...Oh?

[riseinthewest]

You're back, then.

[Someone sounds displeased. Not that Yazoo's returned, of course, but that he was gone in the first place.]

A strange association to make.

[ Video ]

[velvet_zealot]

I don't know how you know me, but if you can't tell me where my brothers are, or where Mother is...I have no interest in you.

[ Video ]

[riseinthewest]

... you've forgotten, haven't you? How annoying.

To my knowledge, none of your family is here.

[ Video ]

[velvet_zealot]

I haven't forgotten anything.

Where is here, hm? It's not...where I remember being last.

Well? Tell me.

[thenobledie]

Hello again, Yazoo. You must be quite confused.

video;

[velvet_zealot]

Confused?

With regards to where I am? [ He snorts. ] I...don't really care. I only want to find my brothers, and Mother.

Have you seen them? I've been told they aren't here...

[thenobledie]

[not quite what she was referring to, but oh, well. it's not important.]

No, they aren't. You won't find them for some time.

[velvet_zealot]

How irritating.
