I'm less human than before.

...Where is my weapon? Is this... a dream?

[Do you hear that pout in her voice, Vinnie? you should recognize it well. :D] You don't? You were here though. I had to track you down, and you weren't an easy man to even find, Vincent Valentine.

...? How can I be what?

[voice]

[That tone makes him frown. :( He is disappointing her already. Woe.] I don't remember that.

How can you be... here? Speaking to me?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

It wasn't that long ago, how can you not remember that? You had to save me that time too because I was careless.

Because I was brought here, just like you were.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I don't. The last I saw you...


...Brought where? What is this place?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

...

Luceti. We're in Luceti.

[Aerith just mentioned that name too, but for all that he can think of, it doesn't sound remotely familiar.] You've been here for a while?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Since February, yes.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Are you... [Real? Alive? Safe? ...Happy?] ...well?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

As well as I can be, I suppose.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by that?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

You don't remember being here. That's a little upsetting.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Why are you sorry? You can't help it.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I suppose not...

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

I didn't see you a lot after that anyway. I guess it's better this way, but... in a bittersweet way, I suppose.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I'm... [No self, don't say sorry. D:] I'm here now.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

[very good, Vincent! We're proud of you. :D] I know.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Let's see how long it lasts. :|] If you... are in need of anything... [Trails off, because what can he say, really. He doesn't know if she'd even want to see him, although he hopes that's the case.]

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

I'll ask. I don't think you'd let me get away with not asking.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

All right. ...You can ask anytime.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

I will. Like I said, I don't think I'll get away with not asking.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I'll hold you to that.

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Will you? You can only hold me to it if you do the same.

[voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I will. I promise. [Pauses again.] Could I... see you sometime?

[voice]

[underthefalls.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm holding you to that promise! [There's a bit of laughter at that; she knows full well Vincent isn't the type to go back on his word. The laughter dies down when he pauses and asks his question.] Of course you can.
