[The voice is calm and poised. The young woman sounds like she's addressing a board meeting, rather than trying to figure out why she's in an abandoned baseball diamond while her body protests her rude arrival.]

Excuse me, but if anyone is able to receive this transmission, I believe I am in need of information. I don't know how I got here, or

There's a set of tower apartments near the ball diamond! You should make for those, it'll be safe there. I'll meet you halfway if I can, and help you make it.

[Down the stairs and through the lobby, Tifa pounds for the front door.]

[Choices, choices. But there are monsters in front of her, better to take the risk of an unknown voice.]

Understood. On my way.

[The communicator is dropped in her pocket, so all there is to see is dark gray material and the sound of pounding feet. Her running slows, and she mumbles.]

Not fast enough.

[There's a gun shot.]

[meteor_heart]

Ah! Are you still alright?

[Tifa's out the door and sprinting. She vaults onto a dumpster, then fire escape, then to the roof to avoid any lingering hordes, making for the sound of the gunshot.]

[There's a shattering sound, then she's running again. She veers around a corner, running toward the apartments.]

I'm fine, but I seem to have drawn some attention to myself.

[mentis_reae]

Get inside immediately.

[voice]

[mitsuru_hime]

That is the current plan.

[She still sounds perfectly calm, but there's also the sounds of a scuffle.]

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

What is your status.

[voice]

[mitsuru_hime]

[Something shatters, and she's running again.]

I'm moving toward the towers. Someone is on their way to meet me.

[he taps his cigarette on the ashtray and listens to the recording with interest. Strict, commanding, and down to business, able to pressure a potential threat with the power of a zaibatsu.

Also capable of using a weapon, if that familiar metallic ring is what he imagines it to be.

Nii smiles and opens a new browser window on his laptop. There was no harm in searching for information about this Kirijo group, if they existed in this world, while waiting to see if this newcomer was worth the attention garnered by that strong entrance.

Haven't swords gone out of fashion here for some time now?]

[mitsuru_hime]

[She doesn't have any security settings, so he's free to hear the sounds of a fight breaking out while she deals with the random monster that got to her before Tifa did. Along with the sound of a rapier is the sound of a gun shot, followed by something shattering.

Then she's running again, feet pounding on the concrete.]

[walkthedawn]

Help's on the way, hold on.

[voice]

[mitsuru_hime]

Thank you, I should be at the towers shortly.

[voice]

[walkthedawn]

Be careful. I'll meet you out there.

[mitsuru_hime]

Acknowledged.
