[⌖ 001] - Video (Backdated to the 27th)

[provenworth]

What in Shiva's name…?

[When the video turns on, the figure is clearly frustrated and distrustful, if not looking very exhausted. Honey-colored eyes are dulled and strained, her skin a ghostly shade of pale, a single bandage pressing against the right side of her cheek. Fingers grasp at the top of the note she had been reading, lips pulling in a frown.]

This.

This can’t be right and it isn’t funny. I’m in no mood for jokes right now, so I demand an explanation for this.

[Lowering the note beside her on the bed, Elena gently rubbed at the side of her head, giving a slight wince. She had been under constant watch for the last 48 hours, being pumped full of Cure and Restore to mend internal and external injuries. But clearly she wasn’t entirely healed, which earned a frown.]

Also, what was with the paralysis? Did somebody drug me while I was sleeping to perform a relocation? This isn’t the room I was in last…

[midgarhorizon]

Elena.

[provenworth]

Reno.

[Wait a second...]

Where is Rufus and why aren't you with him? Its dangerous to leave him alone.

[midgarhorizon]

[brb he can't quite believe it.]

........

I'm not dreaming.

Where are you.

[Yes he sounds like a creeper, but then he's been through a lot of awful stuff.]

[provenworth]

[Its all right, Reno. She can't quite believe the situation either. And she didn't exactly think she'd be seeing you again, honestly.]

You might not be, but I'm hoping that I am. This place doesn't look familiar at all.

I'm...[She's looking around, frowning again.] I don't know. It looks like a dormitory. Hold on....

[Both Elena and camera moves, heading to the door. There's a click in the background, the door opening momentarily before shutting again.]

It says room 02-09.

[atouchofstrife]

[ Great. More Turks. At least they can be sort of okay. Sort of. ]

We're not on the Planet any more. [ A pause. What to say... ] The people that brought us here are serious.

[midgarhorizon]

Stay right there.

[What, Reno is never usually this serious.

Action?]

[provenworth]

O-Okay....

[Okay, something is really off - Reno is rarely that serious. She's taking a seat back down on her bed, re-reading the note in an attempt to fully understand the situation.

Perhaps when Reno got there, he could provide more details.]

[fusedstars]

None of us know how we were brought here.

[provenworth]

Strife?

[Well, now, if it isn't the ex-SOLDIER. At least its a good thing they weren't exactly enemies. Really. Kinda.]

Then where are we? How did we get here? Do we know anything about the people responsible?

action!

[midgarhorizon]

[There is Reno, knocking on 2-09. That was rather quick actually. Maybe he hadn't been far away.]

Elena!

Action!

[provenworth]

[Her entire body jumps at the sound of the door, heart leaping into her constricting throat. Had that much time passed since their conversation? No, it seemed too short.]

C-coming!

[Rising, she moved to the door, the voice so familiar she doesn't hesitate to open the door.]

That was fast, did you run?

[provenworth]

So we're just expected to accept the letter and this...this collar without questioning it? There has to be a way to find out who is responsible and what their motives are.

[fusedstars]

There are already people trying to find the truth to the situation. Our so-called destroyed worlds can be viewed, though I still don't buy it.

[video]

[intemperiae]

[Another one. Hn. Sephiroth snorted lightly. Soon he'd start expecting Veld's face to flicker into focus on these damned machines.]

Rest assured, Turk, no one finds this situation at all humorous.

[provenworth]

Are there? I'll have to see if I can meet with them, I want to know what they've learned.

You said we can view them - how?

[fusedstars]

You can search for them yourself; I am still looking.

The fifth floor. That's where you'll find the so-called destroyed worlds.

Re: Action!

[midgarhorizon]

No, I'm in 2-12, I was down the hall.

[He looks really really happy to see her.]

[video]

[provenworth]

[That - that can't be. He was gone...supposedly merged into the Lifestream to cause the -. But he wasn't really gone - it appeared that he had been divided into three beings, but they were still part of him.

Its those eyes. Those brilliant green eyes boring holes into her with their intense gaze beneath the curtain of silver that turns her blood to ice. Beneath the uniform, her heart is hammering in her chest, adrenaline coursing, panic on the verge of completely taking over. Odin help her, she had been hoping she'd never have to come across one of them - be it the original or a remnant.]

You....You're here as well.

[Her words are something between a question and a statement, mind trying desperately to maintain some semblance of control.]

Action!

[provenworth]

That's rather convenient, right down the hall...

[Reno, honey, you look almost too happy to see her. Ah, but she'd come to that in a minute. But priorities first and all.]

Reno, where's Rufus? We need to get to him immediately. They know where he is - they're going to go after him!

[provenworth]

I believe I will.

[There's a slight huffing noise.]

So they're on display in what I assume is a trophy room?

[fusedstars]

More like an observatory of sorts.

[video] LOL, epic. poor 'lena

[intemperiae]

[Sephiroth's only outward reaction was the quirking of his left eyebrow, expression settling into saturnine.]

Obviously.

[Shiva save him, weren't good things supposed to come in threes?]

Action!

[midgarhorizon]

Rufus isn't here.

[Here he goes. He has to explain this after all.]

Elena, did you read the letter yet? Something's destroying the universes.

[Slight pause here. She's going to think he's crazy.]

I'm not the Reno you know.

[provenworth]

Interesting. And are the planets actually being shown as destroyed?

[video] <3!

[provenworth]

I...ah...I mean...

[C'mon, Elena. Just calm down and breathe. She pauses, taking a few slower, deep breaths, before continuing.]

Excuse me, General. I'm still trying to get adjusted to the abrupt change in environment.

[The fact that he hasn't gone off on any sort of psycho-babble about being the 'chosen one' and Jenova helps calm her rapid heartbeat, the thundering in her ears ebbing as she attempts to get a better feel on his current state of mind.]

Do you have any information about this place?
