argentimperator[The feed blinks on as the PCD drops out of Sephiroth's coat pocket. The coat that Sephiroth is no longer wearing; the video catches him throwing it over a gravestone, hiding it from sight. The stone, of course, is only one out of a number he almost finds surprising. The names on them, however, are not surprising at all.
Angeal Hewley. Genesis Rhapsodos. Zack Fair. Faramis Gast. Lucrecia Crescent. Vincent Valentine.
All from his own world, with dates in Gaia's calendar. All people who have been important in his old life, even if he only found out about Vincent and Lucrecia here. But there are more stones, with more names that have nothing to do with his world.
Unohana Retsu. Gaignun Kukai Jr. Albedo Piazzola. Ulquiorra Cifer. Tsukino Usagi.
You get no prize for guessing what name is on the stone Sephiroth covered up.
His own grave is there, too, a monument topped with a guardian angel statue. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the statue seems to be missing a wing. There are three sets of dates inscribed on it, though on the third set, both dates are the same. He's already watched himself die at Cloud Strife's hands far more than could possibly be healthy for anyone, though not looking at the dates isn't any better thanks to the damn hallucinations. Listening to the bullshit spouted by his insane self is slightly less than entertaining.]
You betrayed Mother. [More voices speaking to him that no one else could hear.]
Jenova is not my mother and you are an abomination. I would almost consider these mercy killings if Strife were not such an ass.
[Despite the defiant words, Sephiroth looks more tired and depressed than anything, and the feed blinks out as he sits down by the covered grave.]

Date: 2011-10-30 04:39 pm (UTC)Uh, Sephiroth? Are you okay? You've been outside for a really long time now.
[Video]
Date: 2011-10-30 06:33 pm (UTC)I am highly resilent to the elements. Prolonged exposure to the current weather will not cause me any problems.
[Whether or not Sora will realize that Sephiroth is hiding a distinct lack of emotional 'okay' behind the strictly physical answer is up in the air.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-10-30 07:11 pm (UTC)Um, okay. But you've been standing near those tombstones for a while now. I don't think staring at them is very healthy...
[He seems to be thinking for a moment or two.]
I can ask Riku if he'd be okay with you coming over. Then you at least wouldn't be alone.
[Video]
Date: 2011-10-31 06:49 pm (UTC)Perhaps not, but it can be informative.
[That last suggestion gets the closest Sephiroth will likely ever come to a wince. Sora just has.... no idea.]
I will not be alone. In any case, this is not the best time for me to be visiting Riku.
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-01 04:10 am (UTC)[He looks just a bit dejected.]
Oh. Okay. Are you two having a fight or something?
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-02 12:02 am (UTC)....It is complicated.
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-02 04:31 am (UTC)[He made a promise to Riku that he wouldn't leave the house until the event was over. Although he's kinda itching to see what's under Seph's coat.]
That's just code for you aren't going to tell me, isn't it?
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-03 09:54 pm (UTC)Yes. [Blunt Sephiroth is blunt. It's the truth, after all. If Riku wants Sora to know why things are....awkward between them right now, he'll tell him. Sephiroth is keeping his mouth shut until then.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-04 04:20 pm (UTC)Err...Okay. [Sora gets the feeling no one is going to be telling him anything of this sort any time soon.]
