Mission 18: [Accidental Video] Backdated to Wednesday

[argentimperator]

[The video feed is coming from Ulquiorra's PCD, however wayward, and the quick, easy slaughter of a Menos is certainly appropriate. The pause is slightly less so; the expression is subtle and hard to pin down, but he looks like he isn't sure he wants it.

After a moment, there's a flicker of resignation. Whether he wants it or not, he needs to eat it. 'Ulquiorra' puts his sword away and tears into the other Hollow. Mercifully for those with weak stomachs, the feed blinks out only a few seconds later.]

(The game here is, of course, who can figure out this isn't Ulqui, and how quickly.)

... Ulquiorra-san?

[It's a little time before she gets a reply; he finished eating and cleaned up some first.]

No, I'm simply inhabiting his body at the moment.

[bunny_flower]

... And you are?

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Sephiroth. [Yeah, not really a big difference, is there?]

[bunny_flower]

Ara! Well ... I hope you are not finding it too difficult.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

It is...interesting. I am managing well enough, though the matter of food gave me pause.

[bunny_flower]

Ah, yes. Hollow usually survive by eating human soulds, although Vasto Lorde like Ulquiorra-san tend to eat other Hollow.

[Vincent doesn't know Ulquiorra that well, except he's somehow a friend of Sephiroth ... but there's something in the eyes that ... bothers him.]

[There's a bit of a wait before the feed blinks back on. He was eating, after all.]

Yes, Vincent?

[ff_red_turk]

... Who are you?

[Video]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Sephiroth. For the moment, at least.

[Blink. Blink.]

... That's new.

[Staring at you. Staring at you and judging so hard.

Too bad it loses some of it's effect since he's currently in Axel's body.]

You do realize you should cook it first, right?

[Video]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Just a little effect. Or maybe a lot. The snark sounds familiar but it's the wrong body and it's hard to say who's who this week. So he answers very simply.]

I'm not positive this body can metabolize what is required if I cook it.

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

That's disgusting.

[The disapproval should be enough to give it away, big brother.]

[Video]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Seriously, little brother? Seriously? He just tore apart a giant monster and ate it raw; there are plenty of people in this city that would disapprove and find it disgusting. But the tones and inflections, different voice or not, are definitely familiar.]

You think eating sandworm is disgusting, as well.

[Video]

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

[He has his own special brand of disapproval, okay. And thank you for confirming his suspicions that he was really talking to, you know, his brother instead of some insane person who kills and eats monsters for fun.]

Excuse me for having standards.

[Video]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Sure he does. Look, the body has alternative nutritional needs, it's not human. Even the normal inhabitant doesn't do this for fun. Fun might not even be part of his vocabulary.

That's how you know he's one of Sephiroth's friends.]

I believe some people would call it 'being picky'.

[Video]

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

Nope, pretty sure you're alone on that.

[Guess he should just be thankful Axel likes normal food then.]
