Act I ~ [Video]

[Genesis Rhapsodos stares into the monitor for a few good minutes, clearly thinking of what to say as she takes all that she saw and did and learned so far today. It was really all mind boggling and utterly depressing. Finally, she sighed softly, her mako blue eyes lowering as she murmured to herself.]

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh...

[She sighed again and lifted her eyes.]

My name is Genesis Rhapsodos and it looks as though I am to be joining you here. I've already eaten the oatmeal, as I was told to do. But now I wonder what to do now.

Can anyone tell me or will I be doomed to spend the rest of my days here?

Is there hope?

There is always hope, even if things seem really bleak. However, what you do now is fully up to you.

My wings burned and ripped away
But, as I sobbed, I noticed that I had two feet
So, fighting through the pain, I started walking
A new day is waking up, and rising up to greet me..

[At seeing the text, she decides to respond in kind.]

Hm. You're right. It really is my choice, isn't it?

That is a lovely and apt poem.

Yup! That it is. Just..be careful with your choices, alright?

..And thank you. I thought it might help you out.

Is there anything you can suggest?

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return.

Well, for one thing, be wary of two residents named Ganon and Sephiroth. The Sephiroth I speak of is an adult. they may act nice, but they're pretty horrible people.

And, if my coming is lined with despair
Then I shall smile and reline it with my hope
New promises shall brighten the night
And the stars shall guide me on.

[There's something very familiar about this person. Genesis? That name... That was the name of one of his friends, wasn't it? But his friend was his age. Will this person know him? Sephiroth stares for a long moment, then feels compelled to respond.]

Hello, Genesis. I am Sephiroth.

There are many books to read in the library, and there are a number of monsters to fight. If you cannot fight, I can assist you.

There is no conclusive proof that our worlds have been destroyed.

Edited 2013-03-08 05:50 (UTC)

[She is silent for a few moments, unable to really comprehend what she is seeing. It's... it's Sephiroth! But he's so small! How? Last she saw, he was certainly not a child!

And she couldn't help but think about how adorable he is.]

Yes, I... know you. A pleasure to meet you again. [Well, at least she's coherent again.] I suppose reading and fighting wouldn't be too boring for awhile...

[But would she really want to do that for now? Not really.]

Oh? Then, how are we to see for ourselves?

Edited 2013-03-08 05:56 (UTC)

You know me? [So she did recognize him.] How do you know me? Were we friends? [He has a sense of having friends, but there are so many gaps in his memory, frustratingly, when he tries to think about that time. He wonders why. What he remembers about Genesis is the sense of having a friend, the color red, and a few other scraps of things. Could this really be his friend?]

I enjoy reading and fighting. [It's hard to say which he enjoys more.] There are also many interesting people here. [Warriors and magicians!]

I don't know. I have been here more than a month, and I have found no proof.

Yes, I do. We were friends since SOLDIER. I met you when I was in my early teens. [She was certainly glad he did have the sense of them being friends, because she didn't want to me reminded of Nibelheim, right now.]

Oh? Well, that's interesting to hear. I don't believe I remember you enjoying reading. [She chuckles.] I think my recital of LOVELESS turned you off for a time. But what sorts of people are here?

I do not know.

[She had isolated herself and not read the messages on the terminals since the cannibalism post.]

I suppose you try to survive.

I've been surviving for years. I would simply like to live.

I do not know if this place is the best place for "living."

Then, what is it good for?

[Those eyes. What are the odds.

Even if Sephiroth draws a blank at her name, the red hair at least is...familiar and thanks to Cloud, the relevance of Mako-blue eyes is unmistakable. SOLDIER.]

Just like the rest of us, SOLDIER.

Hope is for those content to wait for it.

[He has to say something but as it's clear from hiding anonymously; he doesn't want to advertise who he is to this SOLDIER, or to anyone lurking, just yet anyway.]

[Someone knows she's SOLDIER but isn't willing to show their face? How... strange.]

You know about Gaia, then. Why don't you show yourself?

[She sighs softly.]

Besides, I'm no longer SOLDIER.

I know more than most about Gaia. Not that any of that matters now.

[Ignoring the question about why he's not showing himself. Truth is he doesn't want to broadcast his face across the network to anyone. He wouldn't have commented at all if he hadn't noticed those eyes.]

Indeed. There wasn't much of ShinRa left, before I was brought here.

Are you from Gaia, then?

ShinRa is gone from where I stand. [She shrugs. She feels no love for it.] I'm surprised you don't recognize me, however. I may not have been the poster boy, but most knew about the First Class.

[In all honestly, she was expecting some sort of anger or resentment toward her.]

There's always that. As long as you choose to believe in it, of course.

How can you be sure? Given what I've been told of this place thus far.

People come and go, see. Means there's gotta be something to look forward to outside of this tower.

Do they now? But I've been told that everyone here can be from different times and places, how do you know they would be from the same exact world?

They can always be the best of friends~ ... Since they surprisingly get along well. XD

[ Cecil smiles softly as she starts the feed and gives a little nod of acknowledgement to the other woman. ]

Apologies for the lackluster first meal, Genesis. Unfortunately, we've all been forced to have it. My name is Cecil Harvey.

I could only assume so if that's what we are forced to have at first. But I've already been told we could eat anything else once it's over and done with.

Good to meet you.

Yes, that much is true. It would seem there's a reason for the oatmeal, but I'm afraid I'm not certain about it.

[ The paladin sighs and looks a little worriedly at the other woman. She's not sure how to explain the dangerous nature of the Tower. On the one hand, she knows it's important, but on the other, she doesn't want to scare Genesis immediately upon her arrival. However, if she's already been to the cafeteria, perhaps she's seen the Tower's dangers on her way down. ]

Are you... able to defend yourself?

Edited (too many question marks o.o) 2013-03-12 09:34 (UTC)

[She looked almost offended at that question! Hmph, of course she could defend herself! Did it really look like she couldn't?]

Yes, yes I can. My materia and Rapier came with me to this place.
