[Voice/Action]

[thenightmarebegins]

It's been a trying time for us all. These events are far beyond my expertise to handle, although I've done all that I could. [A small sigh about that. This version still has his angst about the monsters, but he also has a way of distracting himself.]

In the meantime, while we have something of a respite... for any ladies who are lonely for companionship, I would be honored to provide that. To those I'm not acquainted with, I'm your resident Valentine. Vincent Valentine.

[Be afraid. Be very afraid. Vincent has actually combed his hair and has tied it back into a ponytail. He's also looking very... gentlemanly and polished overall, and has even set aside his old tattered cape for one that's in much better condition. He's in a mood to wander around town, so you can expect to run into him most anywhere today.]

[...and if you're a woman expect to be randomly given a single red rose if he should so much as glance at you.]

[Hehehehehe, he too advanced cooking classes. You're such a girl now man.]

Only if you think you could make it really good.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[But a *~sensitive~* man brings home the girls! He's put way too much research into this.]

Oh, I'll make it really good, just for you.

[Wait we're still talking about cooking now right!? ...We all hope.]

[Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

Good!

[Oh, she hopes so. He'd be such a pedo if he hit on her too much.]

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Ewww, and we certainly don't want to make it TOO disturbing on the universe.]

You'll love it, I promise!

[And Vincent gets to work making the meal, stirring a bunch of noodles and things together in a stir-fry of sorts.]

It's funny you don't remember... I used to do most of the cooking for us all when we were traveling together.

[Please excuse her while she's dying of laughter on the nearest chair.]

W-well it wasn't Cloud that's for sure.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Certainly not... You know, I tried a few times to give him advice about picking up women, but, it all went unheeded.

[Stirs things up as he talks, always happy to reminisce.]

[Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

[Well, now he's just trying to kill her isn't he?]

H-he has...had Tifa though.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Ah, Tifa... [A wistful sigh. What man could forget the beauty and well-endowed chest of Tifa...]

Well, it took him some time to figure that out. He could have played the field a little before he finally realized what he wanted.

[Stir stir stirring the food. It's all starting to smell surprisingly good, better than anything the regular Vincent could have concocted.]

Re: [Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

Don't think it was his fault though! [Blame ShinRa.

And well now, that's surprising. He can bet she's watching him extra carefully just in case he really IS screwing with her, and decides to put something bad in there.]

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I suppose you have a point there. [Sigh, time to drop another crazy bombshell.] But Cloud was right about one thing, all along... he was right to fight against my son. I only wish I could have been there for him all along, to prevent what happened.

[Mixing stirring, mixing, that ought to be close to done now.]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

[S-silence...WAT?]

[Vincent is just starting to serve up their meal, glancing toward Yuffie as she's gone quiet. He's almost afraid to know, but...]

Are you all right, honey? Anything I can do for you? A back massage later, perhaps? Was it... something I said?

Re: [Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

[If she were not so shocked at the moment, she would SO agree to that back massage dammit.] I'M fine, but s-son...[..Sephy?] B-but you did.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[He brings her a nice hot bowl of Wutaian food, then goes about serving them drinks- it's red wine, what else? Then he gestures for her to take her seat at the table as he also does likewise.]

Well... yes, don't you remember? Sephiroth is... was... He was my son. With the enchanting lady Lucrecia.

[Ok, so this version does still hold a torch for a certain woman. It's just that instead of pushing affection away, he seeks it out like crazy as if thinking he could find her again somehow.]

[Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

[Please exucuse Yuffie while she makes a facepalm as she walks over to the table to sit down, then looks at the food, yuumy food! She just thinks the wine is grape/raspberry juice.]

W-well...that's gonna be awkward.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Vincent starts eating, enjoying his meal and drink.]

What do you mean...? We... had to kill Sephiroth, unfortunately, eventually. I made several attempts to reason with him. I... even attacked all of you once, as Chaos, in order to stall you... [Sigh, he feels bad for that, it wasn't one of his best ideas, but for the sake of saving his son... Too bad it hadn't worked out.]

Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

[She'll start eating as soon as he takes a few bites. Yes, she's being carefu.]

Well sorry to be the one to break the bad news, but Sephy was already insane..and wasn't gonna change.

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Vincent has some more, oblivious to Yuffie's suspicions.]

Well... he was my own flesh and blood. He deserved a chance at the very least. I tried to give him that.

Re: [Action]

[roseof-wutai.livejournal.com]

And you tried, it feel, rocks fell, everyone died. [She is not impressed by your story, obvious, she's too busy munching on good food!}

[Action]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Well, no... all of us made it out fine, but not Sephiroth, my son... [Sigh. But drinks a bunch of wine, that'll make him feel muuuuch better.] It wasn't his fault, that he was experimented on by Hojo. That madman took him and altered him into what he became.
