♘ 3: Video

[furorimperator.livejournal.com]

[For him, the door opens. He'd actually been on his way outside, headed for gods knew where, but the second his gloved hand touches the knob, a soft chime sounds and instead of the bright outdoors, the scene shifts to a place he thought he'd forgotten.

The video tilts wildly as the skyphone slips from nerveless fingers and clatters on the concrete floor, a quirk of fate setting it on its side, able to view the room at large. Leather swishes as Sephiroth ignores it and steps further within, gazing about as if in a trance. Standing near the desk, he tilts his head and reaches down to pick up a ball of black fur, a very worn, very old stuffed toy.

A light chuckle wafts through the sterile place, followed by a melancholy sigh.]

...hn...I'd almost forgotten.




{ooc: backdated to 1/23 if necessary; welcome to the place where Sephiroth grew up, in the bowels of Hojo's madhouse.}

[Gazing at the footage with a look of wonder, a pink-haired girl calls to him.]

Is this a memory of yours? It seems so plain, so...empty.

It's been a while, I take it?

... where are you?

[It's not anywhere Vincent recognizes.]

[It takes Aerith a long time to decide whether to speak to him. As it stands, she's heard that his sane, and her morbid curiosity is simply overwhelming. And she doesn't want those she loves to be his victims if they turn out to be wrong. She has to know for herself. And, based on his words and the video, it's very likely that he's very close. She's in the ShinRa building, after all. Thus, she uses the voice function only, so that he can't see her face. Just in case.]

No matter how much we wish to forget some things, they never entirely go away.

[She knows that feeling well. It only then occurs to her that wherever he is, it's likely near where she and her mother were held as well. The irony is not lost on her, either.]

[Even with his previous attitude, Cissnei still felt sorry for him. No person should have to put up with such conditions.]

You're in Midgar as well, sir?

[She remembers to address him in a more formal manner. She really, really didn't want someone like Sephiroth on her ass for forgetting her place in the chain of command, even if it was nonexistent here.]

video - Am I too late?

[That place looks so... stark. And Raine frowns just a very little bit because it disturbs her for reasons she can't quite put her finger on. A frown that she chases off immediately with a warm smile.]

Is it somewhere you recognize then?
