[Matt is sitting in a darkened room, the only light filtering in from another room - he seems to be sitting on a living room couch, and the kitchen is visible in the background, barely, where the light is. he's looking at the screen with his hands in front of him as he plays with the NV - it's a laptop sort of shape, and he's using a stylus, eyes ( Read more... )

Yeah, dead people can come back. Smoking's still kind of gross.

loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:00:19 UTC

I've heard that. [he shifts and glances to the side, tapping a long cylinder of ash off the tip of his cigarette]

Of course it's gross. It kills you too, and costs a fortune. [his lips curl up at one side, a kind of ironic smile] Feels damn good though.

madeinoblivion October 8 2010, 06:11:24 UTC

How does it feel good?

loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:14:19 UTC

It's pretty hard to explain. Sort of like a rush, calms the nerves, and it feels good to have something to do with my hands.

[he tilts his head]

Are you thinking of starting?

Yuffie?

[Tifa perks at the name, peering at the screen.]

You're a friend of Yuffies?

[Video] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:01:28 UTC

[he smiles just a bit, and nods]

Yeah. We've...known each other for a while now.

[Video] meteor_heart October 8 2010, 06:06:54 UTC

Oh. [She shouldn't be surprised. Yuffie and Tifa had barely spoken two words to each other since Tifa's arrival near the beginning of the year. Still, he seemed nice.]

I'm Tifa. Yuffie and I are friends back in our world.

[Video] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:10:33 UTC

[he nods a bit, and gives her a little smile, waving his fingers slightly]

Nice to meet you, Tifa. How come I've never met you just yet?

[From the kitchen, yelling. Because that's such a rational thing to do. Someone's doing what amounts to a write up on one of her pet projects on the floor instead of at the perfectly good table in the other room.]

If Cid's not done it yet, you aren't gonna!

[Action/Over NV] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:02:06 UTC

[that actually startles a little laugh from him]

Hey, combined effort, right? At least it's just at night...

[Action/Over NV] wutaisrosegirl October 8 2010, 06:16:05 UTC

[Normal talking level] I swear, one'a these days I'm just movin' both a' you here and not askin' a damn-

[There's a pause and she cuts herself off as she glares down at the pages then shouts back to him again, sounding mildly distracted.]

Matt, later I'm makin' ya look at these. This guy had an accent like yours. I don't recognize some'a the slang or...he might just be babbling? I dunno.

[Action/Over NV] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:28:09 UTC

[he shifts and leans over the back of the couch to look across the room at her, shaking his head a bit]

Yuffie, what are you even doing? [there's a smile in his voice] An accent like mine? What's some of the slang, I can tell you if it's the same as where I'm from.

Death's not temporary in my home world either, but I've died twice since leaving.

[Getting easier to talk about... now that Death's his homegirl.]

[video] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:04:42 UTC

[he tilts his head lightly and slowly exhales a mouthful of smoke, little tendrils curling up from parted lips, eyes narrowing a bit - twice. sounds familiar.

he shifts, and brushes his fingers against the NV lightly, changing the security level to private - near impossible to hack]

Really? Sounds familiar, for some reason I just keep waking up.

So, fellow walking dead, any idea why that's the way it is?

[private - near impossible to hack] underachieves October 8 2010, 06:18:14 UTC

Hm... Well it didn't happen here, for me. I've got some vague idea about how they did it. Advanced medical technology, organ cloning, accelerated cell repair... Probably some magic thrown in.

I blew my head off once and--

[He switches to video, pulling down the collar of his shirt to show his neck. Completely free of scarring.]

Nothing. You can't even tell, right?

But somebody had to pay for all that repair-- it was big business-- and as far as I can tell, there's no system like that here. I don't know who's bringing the dead back here.

[private - near impossible to hack] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:23:24 UTC

Didn't happen here for me either, and wasn't supposed to at the place I was. Still, I remember that happening...well, I didn't, but I do now. Either way, dying was the last thing I remember before the lab, and then before this place. I'm wondering what the death connection is.

[he sighs and takes another drag, his fingers handling the cigarette delicately because it's close to the filter, then leans forward a bit to look at the screen closely when he exposes his throat]

No, wouldn't be able to. My last one left me injured, and I still have some scars from the lab. [he pulls up his right sleeve a bit to expose some cigarette burn scars on the inside of his right wrist, as well as scars that are obviously from restraints] Got any like that?

[he tilts his head a bit] Business, huh?

I'm betting if we asked around at all, we'd get told it's the Core's fault. Seems to be the answer for everything around here.

[voice] idontregret October 8 2010, 06:03:29 UTC

So put the damn thing out.

[video] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:06:37 UTC

Tried that, then she yelled at me. [he shrugs]

[video] idontregret October 8 2010, 06:08:47 UTC

So stop being depressing.

[video] loadsavedgame October 8 2010, 06:11:30 UTC

It isn't really depressing. Maybe a bit morbid. But it's mostly just a point of interest.

Who'm I speaking to?
