 [The screen flickers to life, to reveal a blond-haired, white suit-clad man looking over his shoulder at a moogle who is flitting away. When he turns back to the screen, his expression is one that is far from pleased. Blond bangs are combed slightly off to the side, underneath which bright, icy blue eyes glitter with anger. He cannot be older than 23, surely; more likely around 20 or 21. He glances around him once more, taking in the scenery. He is surrounded by blue, and as he exhales, his breath makes little white puffs of steam in the obviously chilly air.]

What is going on here.

If anyone is there, I would sincerely appreciate an explanation other than what that moogle just told me, preferably one that actually makes sense.

[His attention is once more drawn away from the camera, upwards this time, following something moving above him. As it moves past behind him, it can be seen to be a dark figure in armor on a golden chocobo, flying through the treetops. He turns back to the camera, an eyebrow raised incredulously.]
And if anyone wants to explain that, it would also be much appreciated.


**[EDIT: ooc: Continuing canon reviews reveal that Rufus is apparently 25, not 21. My apologies.]

Tseng. You're here as well. I take it this is not some elaborate hallucination, then? In that case, why don't you enlighten me as to beyond these "basics."

What have you heard so far?

[whitecladprince.livejournal.com]

So far? So far I understand that I have been somehow magically transported from Midgar, mid-fight with Cloud Strife, right after attaining the presidency and returning from Junon to take over after the death of my father at the hands of Sephiroth, essentially snatching everything--

Why are we here?

[Tseng nods. It means Rufus is from earlier than he'd have liked, really, but it does explain the fact that he seems so much younger.]

No one knows for sure. Most of the theories revolve around this place drawing people in at the will of a man known as Garland.

Garland. Someone else I spoke with mentioned him. Who is he?

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I haven't met him. However from what I've heard, he's not a lovely individual.

[whitecladprince.livejournal.com]

I see.



In that case. Tseng, I would appreciate it if you or any of the other Turks would come collect me. I'd much rather receive any other information you can provide face to face and around civilized beings, as opposed to on camera and in this... frozen forest I am currently in. Let me know if there are any details as to my surroundings you may need in order to locate me.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

If you have the name of the place, that would be helpful.

[whitecladprince.livejournal.com]

According to the Moogle... a place called Macalania Woods, near some sort of lake.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

I'll arrange for transportation.

Thank you, Tseng.
