[Video] Hello Voice, Goodbye Aerith.

[Cloud is typing as he walks, the screen shaking a little because he's walking so quickly.]

The city is really crowded with the Sphere Break tournement. I don't think it's my kind of game.

[Cloud glances up and a small, faint smile comes to his face. Tilting his phone he shows Aerith approaching him.]

[She was idly roaming along the street, spying on a few shops nearby until she spotted a familiar shade of yellow nearby.] Cloud? Hey! [She rushes towards to him with a little basket in tow. It seems she's went back to flower peddling again.]

Long time no see. [She's giggling since that's not entirely true.]

[Cloud nods slightly, though it's true that they saw each other probably yesterday! He types a message to her, since he can't get any sounds from his mouth.]

Yeah. Luca is really crowded, huh? Are you making a lot of money selling the Sphere Breakers flowers?

[Aerith nodded her head enthuastically at his question since she was making a small fortune today.]

Yep, I am! In fact, everyone here seems to really like flowers in Luca. I'm shocked, really. These people like flowers more than the folks in Lindblum.

That's great. Are you going to try playing Sphere Break? It looks difficult.

[Not that Cloud hasn't seen his fair share of mini-games, but this one looks too hard to play.]

I want to give it a whirl, but it looks a little hard. Hm, maybe I could have Shelke teach me! I heard that she's really into it, most of the kids are.

[She stops for a moment once woman nearby inquires about her flowers. Offering the lady one of the yellow ones, Aerith grinned brightly once the woman offers her a tip for the flower.]

Wow, everyone is so generous here! Cloud this would never happen at hom--

[Suddenly, the basket she held falls to the ground below. Flowers spill out in every direction, each of them different in hue.]

[Cloud looks around as Aerith does business, but as the basket hits the floor, he looks back, eyes wide.]

A... A-Aer-ith? [He stares with huge eyes, the camera still tilted her way. He can't believe what he's seeing right in front of him. The image of the flower girl fades into the air.]

[There's no reply, nothing at all. The only thing left is that basket full of posies.]

Aerith?! [Cloud drops the phone, completely uncarring about his new found voice, and the feed cuts.]

[Video]

[urban-cait.livejournal.com]

[Video feed opens to show a room with a table filled with various parts and pieces of a large machine, a certain doctor might even recognize some of those larger more intact pieces laying there.

The man next to the table seems to be studying a certain part in his hand for a silent moment before setting it down and turning so as to speak with the audience he might gain via this video feed, as well as the creator of the machine which is currently torn down in his current residence.]

Quite an interesting machine really, though I might have a few suggestions as to..

[In mid-sentence, Reeve seems to look increasingly transparent and his words no longer reach the phone's speaker. Within seconds after the start of the effect, the man is gone and the phone abruptly falls to land on its side on the table, the feed rolling until the transmission times out.]
