I'm less human than before.

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

[He has spoken to some of them, but... it's good to know about the others. Apparently they cannot have the good people returned to them without a cost.]

Have you had to deal much with Sephiroth and the others?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...not compared to back home.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

...It sounds as if there is worse to contend with.

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

What've you been told so far?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

That we were brought here without explanation or apparent reason. There is apparently no means to leave.

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Nothing that we've found yet. As for the rest of that...it's complicated.

Where are you?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

On the fringes of a settlement. The village?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Luceti, yeah.

What's the building nearest to you? Like, a house number or a sign or something.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

A collection of shops.

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I know where you are. Don't go anywhere, okay?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Right.

[Action?]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[And after a while Cloud jogs himself over to the shopping district of the little village.]

[Vincent has been strolling around the shops. He is now keeping an eye out for a familiar face... and sure enough, notices him. Heads toward him now.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[S...strolling...

Either way, here's Vincent in all his dark and brooding glory. Cloud feels a little inferior in the face of an angst specialist.]

Vincent.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[However one describes it, he's been taking in the surroundings like one who is resigned to fate putting him in these situations.

Glances to Cloud, expression as stoic as ever.]

Cloud.

Let's get right down to it. [Which is better, a quick summary or detail...hm.]

This place is called Luceti; everyone here is from another Planet, save the people from our own. We've all been pulled here the same way, and apparently to be experiments for some other people trying to find their way home. There's a barrier that keeps us in this general area, and...things really suck.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Listens with interest. The only sign of change in expression comes with a darkening of his look upon mention of those 'experiments.' He would accept being here himself as a further penance he must serve. But the others don't deserve that, to be unwilling test subjects... Lucrecia least of all...]

I was told they were called the Malnosso. They're... scientists?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

They're apparently an organization. Think Shinra.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

What use are the experiments to them, if they're trapped here as well...

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud shrugs.] Supposedly they're running them to find their way home. Not sure as to how much truth there is to that, though.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I doubt they're trustworthy.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Snort.] Don't have to tell me.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Then we must seek their true purpose.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Good luck. It's like pulling teeth getting information out of the ones who do talk, and even then we don't know if they're trustworthy. And we can't exactly barge in and threaten them if we can't even get to where they are.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I understand, all too well. Even if we could reach them... an attack might prove futile. We have little information on their true natures.
