Mission 1 : [Accidental Video]

[argentimperator]

[It's obvious the pcd hasn't been activated on purpose; the video is just darkness initially, and the audio of the deep voice is faintly muffled.]

-unfamiliar terrain. Zack? Strife? Marshall?* Damn.

[Some rustling, and now the video has something to see, apparently the pcd was in his pocket and is now in a gloved hand, the landscape blurring by before it settles on a view of Sephiroth's face. He frowns for a moment before his expression smooths over into something blank and professional.] This isn't my- ...I assume there is someone else receiving this transmission. I wish to know where I am, why, and ideally, what's happened to my subordinates.

*ShinRa trooper #2 never actually got a name, poor guy, so he's getting one now.

[Luckily for her, Sephiroth is aware that he sometimes scares the shit out of people, especially children. So he does his best to soften his demeanor and changes the subject for the moment.] My name is Sephiroth.

My name is Alice, Alice Liddell. It's nice to meet you Mr. Sephiroth.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you as well, though I would prefer better circumstances. I'm not certain where I am, let alone how I arrived here.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

You're in Adstringendum! The Animus brought you here sir.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of either. [Have a frowning thoughtful Sephiroth.] Am I still on Gaia, or is this... Adstringendum... some other world entirely?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmmm well... Adstringendum is many worlds all pushed and squished together. The Animus brought us here though no one knows why. I think it's because they're lonely. But no you aren't on Gaia anymore.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

...That shouldn't be possible. [Trans: wtf? ]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

It's the scientist! They did it and upset the Animus.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Scientist is the magic word. Sephiroth frowns again.] No science I'm aware of should allow for such a thing, but I'm aware that there are always fools pushing boundaries better left alone.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

The Animus brought us here and no one has found a way home.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

If the Animus brought us here, then they can send us back. [Yes, there is a worrying ring of determination there.]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

No one where they lives. You can ask them though when next they appear.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to. You've been very helpful, Miss Liddell, and I appreciate it.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Not at all Mr. Sephiroth! Everyone could use help when they first arrive!

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Considering what I've heard so far, I definitely believe that.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well I wish the very best of luck Mr. Sephiroth!

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Not at all.
