000... video

[ turning away from the games option and going to the network option will find a video of this guy here - spiky blond hair, glowy blue eyes, a sort of neutral expression on his face. ]

I'm looking for Reno. [ Because wandering around this place is just not feasible what with all the floors and stuff. ] Red hair, tattoos on the face, wearing a rumpled suit. [ That should be that. Oh wait, one more thing... ] I just want to talk to him.

[There he is. Though Reno looks pretty bad. Messy hair, dark puffy circles, and a haunted look in his eye. The turk looks like he hasn't been getting any sleep, and with the dreams threatening to torture him every time he closed his eyes, he wasn't.

Most noticeable though, was that he was not wearing the suit, or his goggles, or anything that marked him save for the tattoos.]

What do you want, Cloud.

[It wasn't stated as a question; more like a flat out, exhausted tone.]

[atouchofstrife]

[ Well that doesn't look like Reno, although Cloud was pretty certain it was him. He had the same tone and everything. Though what he wanted to say to the Turk was pushed aside by the first thign out of his mouth. ]

You look like shit.

[Reno was going to be at his meanest today. You could just tell.]

Oh, no kidding! I bet it took a lot of brains to figure that out, considering I feel like it.

[atouchofstrife]

[ Yup, definitely Reno then. Cloud just sort of shrugs because hey, he is used to people calling him stupid at times. Besides, he'll get back at Reno later. ]

Brains doesn't equal tact. I had a couple questions but if you're not feeling up to it, I'll go away.

[midgarhorizon]

I'm awake, I'm here. Ask the fuck away.

[ Might as well get rid of the one pressing question on his mind. ] Is there a reason why they are sending people into that maze to kill each other?

video;

[midgarhorizon]

They need a reason to do anything in this hellhole?

[He seemed honestly confused at this.]

[atouchofstrife]

I wouldn't know; I just got here, remember?

[midgarhorizon]

[Faceplaming right now.]

Right. Right. How's that going?

[atouchofstrife]

[ Sorry man, but it is the truth. ]

It's okay, I think. Still trying to figure out why anyone would want to drag me here and why they would assume that the Planet is dead. I don't recall Sephiroth coming back for a fourth time... or is it a third?

[midgarhorizon]

Huh, what? He came back? Didn't we just defeat him?

[atouchofstrife]

...It's been two years since Meteor.

[midgarhorizon]

What?

[atouchofstrife]

Two years since Meteor. [ He scratches at the back of his head, frowning a bit more. ] Don't you remember?

[ Someone explain to him the concept of time. ]

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno isn't surprised by this, not in the least.]

Nope. Might want to know something about this place. It picks up people from different times.

[atouchofstrife]

[ Okay... He wasn't expecting that. So. Have a Cloud shift on his feet and look confused. ]

Oh. [ Head scratch and then a shrug. ] So... What do you remember?

[midgarhorizon]

Probably better this stuff isn't discussed here, Cloud.

[atouchofstrife]

[...]

[ That's right, they aren't using any of the systems from home. Cloud is too self-conscious to slap himself but he does blinks and then nods. ]

So... where do we meet up?

[midgarhorizon]

Why do you want to meet up with me anyway. Do we got some sort of relationship going on in the future?

[Pause here, then he shakes his head.]

Nevermind, I'm just bein' paranoid. I haven't been sleeping lately... we can meet in the lounge underneath the dorms. Floor 38.

[atouchofstrife]

We're not enemies.

[ Well, he guess he shouldn't tell the Turk about how they tried to get wasted together and ended up getting kicked out of the bar by Tifa. ]

Okay. I'll be there.

action?;

[midgarhorizon]

[This user is offline.]

[The turk headed down to the cafeteria, taking the shortest way he knew how. As long as he was here, might as well grab some of those awful nutrient bars and settle down.]

action~!

[atouchofstrife]

[ He wasn't use to the place still, so it took Cloud a little bit of time before he managed to find the lounge. So here is Cloud, looking a little confused - which is normal - dressed in his normal gear and a small heavy sword strapped to his back in a harness that looked like it could carry a lot more weapons. ]

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno just watched the kid, noting all the differences. Two years seemed to make a lot of difference sometimes.]

Over here.

[atouchofstrife]

[ He nodded and walked over to Reno, taking a seat near by, although he seemed a little uncomfortable at the moment. It didn't help that he was still expecting to wake up from another delusion. ]

Reno.

[midgarhorizon]

All right, so I'm here. What do you want to talk about?
