Act I § [Video]

[For those previously on Gaia, it would be hard not to recognize this redhead in the screen. He's looking around for a moment, obviously a tad confused. The Moogle had explained things to him but it was all just disconcerting since this was not how he pictured waking up from the seal in the caverns. So he looks into the screen and opens his mouth to speak-

Only to grunt as something headbutts him in the stomach and he stumbles back, looking down to see a creamy ninetailed fox standing more and moving to headbutt him again. He was quick grab it by the scruff of its neck and hold it away, flailing limbs and all.

And now there is one annoyed Genesis Rhapsodos on your phones, followed by an ANGREH FOX RAWR.]

Would someone mind telling me what in the world is this?

[And what did he do to make it angry enough to just randomly headbutt him?!]

[Have a confused Angeal. As if seeing the puppy and Sephiroth here wasn't confusing enough, topping random people talking to him and being..alive..]

Genesis?

[It was enough to nearly drop the three foot fox, but then he remembered it was going to try and smack him again so he held on. He did, however, raise his brows. Angeal is alive?

How?]

Yes, Angeal?

[He was being seen and..even though Genesis was a little..different trying to beat on something..Angeal shook his head. He couldn't even find it in himself to lecture, but that would come later.]

This is impossible. Where are you?

Yes, impossible, but apparently possible all at the same time.

[He sighs, looking around. He isn't sure where he is. Just that the town is called Traverse Town.]

By a few shops, I don't see any signs. I doubt you could miss me with this, however.

[He looks pointedly at the fox before finally letting go of the thing. It lands on the floor and again, tries to get at Genesis' jacket.]

[Shutting off the device, Angeal goes looking for Genesis. He'd passed by a similar place earlier so he figured he might know where he was. This was crazy, back from the dead, Genesis was now here..he needed a drink or three.

Coming up on the scene, Angeal looked up at Genesis as he approached. The fox hadn't seen him yet, but was a good thing since he no longer carried his Buster sword. And he really wasn't sure what to say, so he shook his head. But he'd seen the look on the red head's face. His presence had been seen and acknowledged. But before he could open his mouth, the fox started coming after him, and Angeal clenched his fists, ready to hit this damn thing.]

[Genesis, however, grabbed it by its many tails and hauled it back.]

I suggest, Angeal, that whatever food you have on your person should either been thrown or given to the creature. It seems that was all it was after.

[He nodded to the apple core by his feet. The headbutting had been to get the apple in Genesis' jacket. The poor thing was apparently starving. And had been for some time.]

[He gave Genesis a look.]

I'm not carrying food on me..I don't do that.

[He tugged the animal's tail and after hearing Angeal say he didn't have food, it finally relented and sat down with a huff.

Genesis, on the other hand, looked to Angeal and raised a brow. He shook his head with a sigh. How was Angeal even standing before him?]

The moogles told me where I am but that does not explain how you are here.

[Angeal shook his head, and he swore he was going to get dizzy with just how many times he was doing it.]

I don't know. I was in the Lifestream, about to go get Zack when I got pulled here by..some sort of darkness.

Hm.

[Well now he feels old, Angeal. That was quite a few years ago that you did that.]

And the Darkness? Any idea on what that is?

No, I was basically wrestled out of the Lifestream.

Were you?

[That's... odd. He sighs and shakes his head. What to do now? Other than ignore the hungry animal next to him.]

I was.

[And he notes the fox that Genesis had been fighting with and shook his head. What the hell? Did the other man arrive and bring a pet?]

This isn't yours is it?

No. We don't have creatures like this on Gaia, Angeal or have you forgotten already?

[No, he still wasn't happy with you dying, but that's for another time.]

[Long suffering sigh goes here]

I never said we had them. I thought you'd picked up a pet is why I asked.

I only just arrived.

[Ah, banter, how he'd missed this.]

[Smirk]

I see. And so you thought to announce your presence in a grand way as usual. Figured you'd do it by reciting Loveless.

Oh, do you miss Loveless, so much? Well, you can blame the animal for interrupting what you wanted to hear most!

[He still didn't know what the animal was. Well, it was a fox, but no fox he had ever seen. He was paw at him, whining. Foooooood~ It wants it.]

Aren't you the one who is suppose to attract the pets?

You used to have it glued to your hand pretty much.

[His smirk changes to a playful 'I'm going to kill you' look.]

I had a human puppy. Keyword, had. I used to grow plants, not pets.

Oh, you mean like this?

[He only has the thing in his pocket and shoom! There it is.]

You still attracted pets. I remember.

[Angeal sighed and gave Genesis a look.]

Nice to see somethings about you don't change.

[But he won't tell whether it's your banter, the book or both.]

...Genesis. I think you're in Traverse Town. Dunno what that thing is, though.

[He'd long since dropped the creature to try and figure out what he did that made it so angry. Of course, it tried to get into his coat this time and..

welp, that wasn't so hard to figure out. Genesis tossed the apple he had to the creature.]

It's apparently hungry. And you, Zack? Where are you? Do you happen to know what's going on here?

I'm in a place called Olympus. You're probably in Traverse Town. That's where everyone gets dumped after their worlds are eaten by darkness.

How are you here? I thought - and then I -

[Do it. Eat your haiiiiir.]

I am here as impossibly as you are.

[Sense? No one has it right now.]

...I guess you're right. For once.

It's just weird, y'know.

[So? It would still be entertaining.]

Sure, I do. I am talking to a dead man.

[Oops, did he say too much?]

...

Excuse me?

[Head tilt.]

Did I reveal too much? What was the last thing you remember?

How could you reveal too much when you...

...You know what, never mind. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what you're talking about.

[Being from the future does that~]

Probably not.

[Surprises just seemed to keep coming here lately, not that he would complain much considering having the two men here alive was certainly better than having them still in that non-existent limbo their world was currently in. He spent a good minute studying Genesis before saying a word, because the man was far more healthier looking than he had been when he'd seen him last. Of course, considering the events surrounding his last sighting, he had been presumed dead, though he had been having some doubts on that assumption. Hopefully, this conversation will be more civil than their last.]

I don't know what that creature is, Genesis.

[WHY ARE DEAD PEOPLE HERE?

The creature, already nomming the apple he'd tossed it when talking to Zack, was distracted for now.]

Sephiroth, you're alive as well. It seems this Darkness is quite formidable.

[Fortunately for everyone's sake he takes the first statement to mean that he managed to escape the Darkness and merely nods in agreement at the second statement.]

It would appear to be the case. You're looking better than when I last saw you, did you manage to finally find a cure?

I did.

[He didn't know? Even after all this time? Then again, the man was acting rather sane.

...unless...]

What was the last thing you remember, Sephiroth?

I was to head for Modeoheim to investigate, Hollander was in Shinra's custody and then everything went to pieces when those things showed up and started consuming our world and plunging it into a Darkness there was no escape from, or so I thought until I arrived here.

[Needless to say that unfortunately, Angeal was dead before they had gotten Hollander into custody, but then its quite possible that Genesis already knows that part.]

[Well, no wonder. Considering the last time he told Sephiroth to truth, the man had gone insane. He wondered if Sephiroth could even handle the truth at any time. But best not to test this now.]

Hm. That happened over five years ago for me, Sephiroth. I was... sleeping when the Darkness took the world.

[Well, that was confusing. But then if it was possible for there to be two Cloud Strife's in this world, then why couldn't whatever was responsible for people's rescues also pull people from differing time frames? Perhaps like the Cloud issue, it was simply best not to over think the matter.]

I see. Well, I'm glad you escaped from it.

Are you?

[That's certainly something he didn't expect to hear.]

[He almost sighs but refrains from actually doing so right now.]

I wouldn't have said it otherwise, Genesis.

[There's a small pause and he continues in a quieter voice.]

I never wanted to be your enemy.

[a quiet huff, a humorless chuckle.]

Could have fooled me.

[a slight eyebrow raise at that but he declines currently to inquire as to the reasons the redhead says that for now. There's no reason really to quarrel over past actions that have little meaning here right now.]

I would like it if we could resume our friendship, if you're willing to do so.

[No, there was no reason to quarrel now. But still, he is understandably wary and is only a little surprised that Sephiroth isn't the same considering what has happened.]

Don't misunderstand, I am not refusing bot nor am I accepting. Instead, let's see how this goes.

Hmm. It looks to be a member of the Canidae family.. [Upon further inspection] The coloration not dissimilar to vulpes zerda yet the proportions are completely off.

I dare say I have never encountered anything with so many tails.

...and I dare say I have never encountered a talking mouse.

[My word, such an observant fellow]

Really? I believe the king and queen are also supposed to be talking mice. I have not the pleasure of addressing them personally.

[Yes yes, I'm a mouse]

I would think that beast of yours were the more pressing issue.

Neither have I.

[Ugh, first nine tailed foxes and talking scientific mice. Really, world, really]

The beast is hardly pressing at the moment.

[He turns to the side, his wing pulling back to reveal the fox now nomming on a purple apple he had given it.]

It seems it's just hungry.

[That wasn't surprising. It wasn't as if one could simply demand an audience with members of the peerage. There were channels for that and even then.. assuming this world was anything like his own]

Come again? How did you get it to stop assaulting y--

[He trailed off and watched the video]

Quite. [These creatures were popping up everywhere... their world must have also been swallowed by the darkness]
