Oh, uh... this isn't good... [There's a pause.]

Cloud? Tifa? Denzel? Daddy? Are any of you here?

[Another pause.] This place is so big...

[He remembers climbing stairs, counting them out of habit - a trick of training observational skills taught in elementary anatomy over four decades ago. Fifty five and not even halfway up. So many steps for such a tired old man. So many lights, blurred by the Midgar rain with its tinge of green bringing the smell of acid and regret.

Sephiroth - the singular thought. Hojo's own life and that of the Silver General's, cumulating to this spectacular moment. Sephiroth - the only true success, he who exceeded all of Hojo's grandest predictions and is about to do so again.

A vial of glowing green and several capsules rest in a metal case within Hojo's inner pocket - the promises of his last surrender. The sound of his heartbeat is as loud as that of rain striking metal at his feet. Hojo is happy. About to give up everything to see Sephiroth rise and cast off the last chains which bind him to humanity, the professor finds himself truly happy, for the first time in years.

Until the flash goes off in his peripheral vision, and he stumbles.

And wakes up in another place of lights, without the rain.]

What-

What is this? [There is a slight note of panic in his voice, the sound of shuffling as he takes a few tentative steps. The next jumble of words come out in the low, urgent tone of one who is accustomed to speaking to himself.]

Hallucinatory side-effects of the J-cell treatment? But- the calculated induction dose should be too low to penetrate into the central nervous system. The rate of infection is slow, initially slow- It is the next dose which contains the lipophilic mutagen-

[A few choppy breaths, then a growl of frustration:] Sephiroth!

[[Directly after this. Tseng has no idea the video post was being broadcast.]]

Reno - can you meet me behind the Stratta Restaurant? Bring a large canvas bag, some bandages and a potion, as well as one of the accelerated incendiary devices Rude is working on.

If you can lay hands on a shovel, bring it as well. Ask the innkeeper if he has one to use.

[Her voice tries to sound calm, but it's a forced calm.]

Are all trapped within Memoria?

My sisters and friends, how do you fare? I wish to know that you are safe. Please, inform me when you are able.

I am grateful to have companions, though I seek to depart this realm as soon as I am able. May the advice given facilitate this.

[ooc: Backdated slightly to just after the conversation in this post.]

Denzel? Shelke? Are you guys okay?

I'm in a place called Memoria... If you can call it a place. But I don't think I'm the only one. It doesn't seem to be dangerous exactly, but I want to know if everyone is safe. Eiko seemed to think that all this is the doing of some guy called Garland. So has this kind of thing happened before?

For a moment there, I thought I'd been dunked in the Lifestream...
