[ The incessant thrum of raindrops are evident upon the start of the transmission. There's a soft breath — almost like a sigh, though he refrains from speaking for the time being. Instead he remains in his contemplative silence as he studies the dreary rain-washed scene with a sharp gaze. Indifferent but not oblivious to those eerie stares from vacant eyes, he merely turns away, his footsteps sounding hollow as he seeks refuge under a simply decorated archway. The pitter-patter of rain sounds muffled now, creating an almost intimate ambiance to compliment Genesis' melodic lilt. ]

When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting.

Rain holds the power to mesmerize... Gaze intently enough and you may just catch a tale unfolding. A spectral city conjured from a dream so distant. But what do you suppose would happen if the dream wasn't yours to know, yours to take?

[ Despite the rain there's a peculiar quietness lingering on the line, gently curling around the words that aren't being said. Only the sudden crack of thunder marks the end of one passage, the beginning of another. Genesis' tone is still soft, still conversational, never-mind the frequent bolts of lightning illuminating the dark sky and striking perhaps, a mite too close for comfort. His smirk is almost audible within his next words, the picture being painted in his mind turning a deeper shade of disaster. ]

I'll assume this to be my twist of Fate then, shall I...?

[You totally get the video feed, Genesis. Because you simply have to watch the minute shifts of expression on Sephiroth's face. They say, after all, that a picture is worth a thousand words. Nevertheless, someone is a bit shocked to see you here.]

...Genesis.

[ And his own is activated. A pair of shimmering azures carefully studying the familiar face across his screen. Was it really all that surprising, that they should both find themselves here? ]

There you are.

[A thousand screaming retorts flash through Sephiroth's mind, but despite his towering bone which still needs picking with the redhead, he's not one to simply leap to conclusions. This world is strange, he's learned.]

Lost me, did you?

[Video]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

For a moment, perhaps.

[ Something wasn't quite right, however, he felt it best to let things be for the time being. They'd both suddenly found themselves in a strange world without rhyme nor reason. He'd wait until more was discovered before voicing his thoughts. ]

However, I knew I'd find you waiting for me. After all, you happen to be quite aware of my penchant for arriving fashionably late...

[Suspicions abound, but still Sephiroth keeps his composure.]

Mm, I am well aware of that, yes. However, you're lucky I simply happened to be fiddling with the phone. Else I might have missed your performance.

[... Oh gods in heaven. Not her month. Still, she had to make sure she was dreaming.]

Genesis?

[audio]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

A Turk.

[ Her voice is familiar, after all — heard numerous times during his career. Though this has been the first time she's addressed him directly... There's the faintest hint of amusement in his voice now. ]

Your name being...?

[audio]

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[That tone certainly doesn't escape her and it very much annoys her. Still, she remains level-headed. She doesn't want another Sephiroth situation.]

Cissnei.

[But she's not going to throw around the word "sir" unless she really has to.]

[audio]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

Cissnei~

[ The name is drawn out in a purr, the sultriness of his tone masking the smidgen of ridicule. ]

Well, now that we happen to be on a first name basis... I'd like a status report of the situation at hand.

[audio]

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[First Zack, now Genesis. Damn SOLDIERs. While she's not entirely surprised at his attitude, it still irritates her. Stay calm. She makes a note to herself to not jump the gun when it comes to people from her world and her knowledge of them.]

What exactly do you want to know? The situation on this world is complicated at best.

[Voice]

[chaos-vessel.livejournal.com]

[...Well, doesn't that sound familiar. It's been a long time since he's heard LOVELESS over the sky phone.]

Rhapsodos.

[Voice]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

[ This new voice brings forth a lick of curiosity. It was one he didn't recall ever hearing before. But then how...? ]

And you are...?

[Voice]

[chaos-vessel.livejournal.com]

Vincent Valentine.

[He doesn't expect Genesis to remember the name, of course.]

[Voice]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

You know of me.

[ Not really a question, just a matter of fact. ]

I'm afraid your name doesn't ring any bells.

[Voice]

[chaos-vessel.livejournal.com]

You were here before, whether you remember it or not.

[animus-concisus.livejournal.com]

...Genesis?

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

[ He quirks an eyebrow in mild surprise. Perhaps there were more present than he had cared to consider. But these voices... They knew him. Or at least of him. Curiouser and curiouser. ]

Correct. And whom may I ask, are you?

[audio]

[pathtowalk.livejournal.com]

Despite the illusional powers of rain... I'm afraid to say this is no dream.

[audio]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not ours.

[audio]

[pathtowalk.livejournal.com]

A waking dream? [there's a pause. but she says the following in good humour.] The citizenry of Gaia would surely protest.

[audio]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

One would think...

[ He trails off. Perhaps, it would be wise to keep it at that. His own theories would be best left to mull over later. Out of the rain. ]

—I've been told there are certain...aspects of my world in this one. Is it true in your case?

[Video]

[fairesthero.livejournal.com]

[...Oh, what the fuck.]

Give it a rest, Genesis.

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

Snapped your leash again, Fair?

[Video]

[fairesthero.livejournal.com]

Slipped it a long time ago.

[Video]

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

Slipped it or cast aside?
