[There's some music playing in the background.]

What point is there in giving someone an item that has no use here?

[At least it's not another coffin? That surely would have been going too far. The music switches from one thing to another as Vincent tries to shut off the useless phone that he'd received as a gift. Perhaps he shouldn't have threatened those elves as much as he had, for the sake of some peace and quiet. Perhaps he should have even... done what the elves had tried to have him do.]

[...oops.]

At least it has some catchy music? Entertainment seems use enough to me.

[thenightmarebegins]

[...If only he knew how to make it stop randomly playing these. He swears it never had these back home. Maybe its battery will just drain out over time.]

I hardly would consider these entertaining. It's as if most of them were designed specifically to irritate the listener.

[mistlegacy]

Did you annoy the elves? If so, that could be their revenge.

[thenightmarebegins]

That might explain the reason behind it... I had little patience for their presence.

[Having his space invaded is generally not a thing Vincent can tolerate very well.]

[mistlegacy]

Somehow, I don't doubt that. At least it's better than coal, though if you really hate it there's nothing stopping you from throwing it away.

[thenightmarebegins]

That may have to happen soon enough... although... it is still a piece of my home. 

[A world he'd not seen in a couple of years. As much as he may tell himself he needs to detach from it, connections always linger.]

[materiathief]

Awww, you got a phone?! No fair.

[There's no way to call you on it!!]

[thenightmarebegins]

It's of no use here, nor did I ever make much use of it back home.

[Actually maybe the fact that Yuffie can't call will be the one redeeming part of this, hm...]

[materiathief]

But you got music from back home! [She misses home dammit. And now the Gold Saucer sounds fun...]

But I can't complain too much about what I got.

[thenightmarebegins]

[He sighs. Right now, he'd just like it to stay silenced... and he has mixed feelings on being reminded of home.]

What sort of gift were you given?

[materiathief]

[Hey, if he asked, she could help him. =\]

My Conformer.

I believe the point is goodwill.

[Video]

[thenightmarebegins]

Even though they gave me something that has no purpose in this world?

[Not to mention, it's something that he was only somewhat comfortable using, in his own.]

[Konan offers a slightly wry smile.]

Someone from my world gave me an olive branch. Literally. It's not really something I can use, but the meaning of the gesture was understood and appreciated.

[thenightmarebegins]

Then it may be that mine was sent to me for a similar reason... to tell me something.

[He's afraid he knows what, it's a pretty obvious message, and one he'd rather ignore or pretend not to have gotten.]

[origami_ninja]

Sometimes non-verbal messages are the most effective.

[Gifts like these said plenty without the use of words.]

[weakahoshi]

Maybe you could give it away to someone else who wants it! Like a repeating gift, to make even more people happy.

[thenightmarebegins]

Yet it couldn't be properly used at all in this world...

[Aside from the random little snippets of music that came on it, that is.]

[weakahoshi]

Hmm... that is kind of weird. Were you good to your little elf-sama?

[thenightmarebegins]

I caused them no harm.

[But... he may have given a vague threat or implied one. He forgets how intimidating he can seem to some people. Plus, he didn't follow orders.]

[spohkh]

To borrow a human phrase... it is 'the thought that counts'...

[thenightmarebegins]

Even if that thought is from the ones holding us here?

[They seem to enjoy giving him gifts of a questionable nature though, so maybe he should have known it was coming.]

[spohkh]

Perhaps... [Because Spock didn't specify that those 'thoughts' had to be of a positive nature...]

May I inquire as to your name?

[thenightmarebegins]

[That makes as much sense to him as anything, really.]

Vincent Valentine... and you are...?

[spohkh]

Spock. It is well to make your acquaintance Mister Valentine.

May I inquire as to what prompted your question?
