[It's a video post, of Reno~ looking very much not like himself because he's wearing one of his regular clothes and his hair isn't pulled back. The clothes really make the man, huh? Anyway, he decided not to make it generally known about his being a Turk even though most of his stuff was in that trunk- he still has no idea what's really going on and isn't taking chances.]

It's been almost twenty four hours since I woke up here. I feel like I'm in one of the Shinra Science Division's damned experiments. I haven't seen anyone else from Gaia here, yet, but that doesn't seem to mean much because this place seems pretty big...

[He rests his head on his hand and taps his forehead a few times in an impatient way] So, is there anyone from Gaia here, other than me? Nice planet, almost had a meteor plow into it last week?


(KH people: feel free to jump on him for his resemblance to Axel~)

I haven't heard any mention of a world called Gaia. People from the same world generally come in at different times, however, so there is still a chance that your locals may appear in the future.

Re: text

[midgarhorizon]

Now that's something to look forward to. But that doesn't make sense.

[tempustemporum]

Please elaborate. What about it doesn't make sense?

[midgarhorizon]

The letter I got. If my world was destroyed, we'd be showing up at the same time. Unless they're being held somewhere else, and I'm not liking that idea.

[tempustemporum]

No, for some reason they filter in over a duration of time. I was here several months before anyone I identified came into the tower, and none of them have mentioned any other sort of holding cell.

[And since that person was Ventus, if he knew, he probably would have talked about it.]

[midgarhorizon]

That's pretty suspicious if you ask me.

[amant]

[Have a Frenchman looking quite contemplative... You see, while he isn't a member of this beloved KH crew he did talk to Axel while he was in the Tower. Thoughtful hmm-ing and all. Bastard.]

You seem rather familiar to someone that was stuck here with us for a short period of time-- perhaps you are related?

Maybe this really is an experiment; I've been here for months and I feel like we are all under a microscope half of the time, ouais? [He's chuckling slightly at that, though it isn't very funny at all; perhaps that's why it dies down fairly fast]

[midgarhorizon]

[have a very confused Reno]

Related? I don't have any family.

[amant]

[Confused Reno, meet confused Fran. Pleasure!]

...He looked and sounded rather similar to you. You must have a doppelganger then; not a surprise considering I found a fairer version of myself here.

[Hey, don't they say if you can't love yourself you can't love others? Well.. Fran is very er. Loving. :|]

[midgarhorizon]

[This is unnerving the poor Turk way more than he's letting on, but that last part has him distracted now]

What? Fairer- [does that mean what Reno is thinking?]

[tempustemporum]

It is absolutely suspicious, a trait which carries into the rest of life here.

[amant]

[Something tells Fran that Axel and Reno probably wouldn't have enjoyed the same er... first impression that he and Francisca had. He grins, unashamed before:]

Oui... It is not often that I would willingly say that I make a beautiful woman but-- eh, in this situation it suffices! [shrugging]

At least the man I encountered that looked like you was a man. Pointy little--well, he was rather tall, but skinny! -- matchstick of a fellow. Only saw him once though...

[midgarhorizon]

[Ok, Reno can roll with this. He's handled weirder before.]

I guess I should be grateful it wasn't a purple squid. That does kinda sound like me, but I'm pretty sure I had nothing to do with it.

[Hojo made enough clones over the years...]

[midgarhorizon]

That makes me determined to figure this out.

[amant]

Ha, well-- the Tower does have an aquarium so there may just be a chance you are speaking too soon. There's worse, trust me...

[midgarhorizon]

I think I'd take the squid at this point.

[amant]

As would I. It has been nearly half a year since I had proper calamari.

[tragic sigh]

So, you have only been here a day, ouais? I am sorry to hear that. Tread lightly here, monsieur.

[midgarhorizon]

Don't worry about me. I've been in worse places.

[amant]

For an entire month I was pleasantly devoid of internal organs because... well, there never was an explanation-- actually. [tapping at his chin; somber] Nobody is safe from their grasps. You will be caught for their games sooner or later, mon ami.

[Did he mention the acidic sludge that was pumped into him? Or the fact his good friend tried to kill him while under some induced state? Nah? Probably best...]

What is it that you said you did?

[midgarhorizon]

[This place is really trying to get under his skin. Reno doesn't break so easily.]

I didn't.

[amant]

[Neither does Francis, but no being able to talk was rather troublesome. Have a tiny grin]

Guarded, I see. I'll bite. This would be easier to relate to if you appeared to be from the same place but I digress... You have countries, non? Well-- I am a country personified.

I promise that I have any ulterior motives in regard to your occupation, whatever it may be.

[midgarhorizon]

[Countries. The closest thing Gaia had was City States. Oh France, whhhy.

He's trying so hard not to roll his eyes right now, instead just raising one eyebrow a bit.]

A country, huh?

I'm with a company on my world. Administrative Research Department. Basically, I'm a Junior Executive.

[Well, why not? This was a good cover, and few on Gaia would know what it means anyway.]

[tempustemporum]

You're not the first. Ask around and I am sure you'll find someone who can point you in the right direction.

Apologies for not mentioning this earlier, but I am Ienzo.

[midgarhorizon]

I'll be sure to do that.

Name's Reno. How long have you had the pleasure of being here?

[tempustemporum]

A pleasure, Reno.

I have been here for about seven months; unfortunately, one tends to lose track of time after a while. This is the longest time I know of spent in the tower, but I also know that there have been people here before me.
