Video/voice/anyone watching and/or listening.

[The video comes on as the sound of a breath of air releasing is heard. Whoever just got the device to function is obviously feeling somewhat accomplished by the act. At first it just shows ground and then deliberately it is lifted up so he can look directly into the lens, at least from a little distance.]

Is anyone out there to hear me? I am in need of assistance. Location is... unknown. I realise that sounds dumb but...

[He sighs softly, a shake of the head accompanying the sound, taking a moment to compose himself properly, before turning his attention to the device again.]

I will gain an idea shortly, in the meantime, it would be useful to know if I am the only one here or not... anyone receiving this message please respond.

[There's obviously plenty more he'd like to say and do but without knowing if anyones there or not, he decides to end the broadcast in the hope that someone will respond.]

I have received your message.

You are in Academia 500AF.

...

Academia... 500AF?

I do not have recollections of such a location within Midgar...

[He frowns lightly, eyes narrowed as he looks to the girl in the broadcast]

Can you tell me which town we are located in please? And your name would be useful also.

That is the city you are currently in.

The place you are speaking of does not exist in this timeline.

Academia is the town, the year is 500 (After Fall) and you may call me Yeul.

I have travelled Gaia reasonably extensively, and have never heard of even a village never mind town known as Academia...

Wait...

[his lips purse together for a moment as he considers the information given, it makes very little sense to him, but it's all he has to go on for the moment. Maybe she's on drugs?]]

Suppose I take what you are saying as fact? Forgetting this bizarre idea you have of Midgar not existing...

What precisely do you mean by After Fall Miss Yeul?

You are no longer on Gaia.

The most likely scenario is that you were ripped from your timeline entirely and sent to this one.

[Her face is emotionless, showing that she is not joking.]

It is fact, I do not lie.

The words "After Fall" means after the fall of the Planet Cocoon. If you look to the sky there will be an enormous globe, crystallized, above you.

No longer... on... Gaia?

[Any belief he had left on his face has now vanished. Not even drugs usually make someone hallucinate quite that badly. She's either completely believeing this or a seriously good actress. Now he just wants to know which.]

Ripped from my timeline... what is that even supposed to me... you know what? Never mind. I do not have time for this. How do I get back to Midgar? It is important.

[He does look upwards though, expecting very little, what he does see, well, the device falls to the ground with a large sound. Even the almost unshockable General wasn't prepared for a sight like -that-. He doesn't pick the device up again and it's rather obvious his next words aren't aimed at Yeul.]

What... in the name of Shiva...

I apologize for this. There is a time traveling vortex that was damaged, allowing others to be pulled from their timelines.

There is no way back that I know of. I apologize.

[She watches the feed of the device falling. Oh Yeul, must you tell everyone the bad news?]

[He picks the device up again, schooling his expression as best he can into complete impassiveness.]

I see...

[He closes his eyes for a brief moment, considering his options, then nods slowly, opening them again to look at the girl in the browser]

Then I suppose I had best become accustomed to this idea quickly. What can I expect from this place?

Currently, you are on the Gran Pulse. The bigger planet that you are standing on currently. If you were to continue west there would be more solitude and smaller cities.

There are many places that lurk with monsters.

Hm. It sounds a lot like Gaia from where I am standing, other than the west factor.

[Emerald green narrows slightly, the mouth curving into a smirk as he nods once more.]

Who rules this planet?

[Her heart had skipped a beat when she heard that voice coming from the communicator in her pocket. Aerith isn't too proud to admit that she's frightened at the prospect of facing him alone, again, without the others. If she dies here, too, what will happen to her then?]

[She takes a deep breath and presses her lips together as she sends the transmission.] ...Sephiroth. Why are you here?

]The moment he hears his name he turns his gaze back to the device, so there are others from his... what did the lady Yeul call it? His time line? He's a little disappointed to see it's just a stranger though. He had hoped maybe one of the Turks or maybe another Soldier. Still, whether he knows her or not, he supposes she deserves an answer.]

That... is something I have yet to determine... Miss?

[Whatever answer she expected, that was not it.] But... Cloud stopped you...after that business with Kadaj... [But then, if she were restored to life, maybe Sephiroth was too. Only, why would he not remember?]

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<ooc:>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

((OOC: Don't worry about it. I read typonese anyway and I don't spot any there I don't think.))

[One eyebrow raises in a mix of amusement and confusion.]

Cloud? I only know one Cloud.. are you referring to Strife by any chance? If so...

[He lets out a soft sound that could almost have been a laugh]

I do not think he is capable enough of stopping me doing anything I wish to do... then again, I do not fully see why he would -want- to... it would not look good for anyone hoping to one day get promotion yes? As for this Kadaj thing you are speaking of... I am afraid I think you might have the wrong person...I do not know anything about anything called a Kadaj...

[He thinks for a moment more, emerald green staring straight at her, assessing whether or not he thinks she's capable of pulling a prank.Then a thought strikes him.]

You're not a friend of Fair's are you Miss?

I do not believe anyone rules this planet.

Is that a fact?

[The tone of voice becomes softer if anything, this piece of information is interesting to him indeed.]

How are laws and rules decided then?

A long time ago there were entities created to take care of the humans but a lot of them are dead or forgotten, called Fal'cie. I would not consider approaching one.

[The feed abruptly changes to a view of the cloudy sky and tall buildings above as the device slips out of Aerith's grip. Is he just acting? Is he trying to trick her into letting her guard down? That doesn't seem like a trick Sephiroth would pull. But what are the other explanations? Either he doesn't remember, or...for this Sephiroth, none of it has happened yet. For now, she'll keep talking to him, but keep her guard up.]

[She picks up the device again. Mumbles.] S-sorry. A little clumsy today.

[Takes a deep breath and tries to smile.] Yes, I know Zack. He's...very special to me. My name's Aerith.
