Date: 2025-04-17 11:21 pm (UTC)You didn't know? I'm supervisor for the medical inventory.
[ This time, Vincent's head tilts a little to the side as if curious. ]
Or were you worried about me?

{He still would've asked the question even if he remembered, though.}
...what if I was?
During 4WD; after the rescue talk goes up
Date: 2025-04-24 12:51 am (UTC)[She did, at least sound somber, and not flirtatious.]
Re: During 4WD; after the rescue talk goes up
Date: 2025-04-24 03:24 am (UTC)Go ahead.
Re: During 4WD; after the rescue talk goes up
Date: 2025-04-24 03:27 am (UTC)Not to enable them- I'm not going to- but if need be, I can step in as medical staff.
I am a doctor by training, and have healing magic.
Re: During 4WD; after the rescue talk goes up
Date: 2025-04-24 04:50 am (UTC)That's why you're messaging me directly.
[ He appreciates that. More soberly. ]
Florian didn't volunteer. If you and John fill in, even if something happens...
[ If. Naturally, Valentine thinks this mission isn't going to be as cut and dry as in and out in twenty minutes. He sighs. ]
As a trained professional, would you be willing to offer your thoughts? The volunteers are Ulla, Bashir, Tendi, Shaw and Zerxus. Though... the latter has already defaulted his nomination after I pointed out how many volunteers we had.
[ A pause. ]
Aerith and... I think I'll suggest Anduin go, particularly as combat healers. But it's reasonable to have some mundane medicine practitioners involved. There's also the possibility that this is a trap designed to lure us away from the Barge for revenge. And... the mental influences are concerning.
[ Whether Boyd is a witting or unwitting participant in that; the man does seem to be trying to warn them of the dangers. ]

Date: 2025-04-24 04:54 am (UTC)[ It is okay to forget or lose track of things. Perhaps this is supposed to be comfort, this assurance that it doesn't bother Vincent if Yazoo isn't certain. As for the rest? ]
...I'd find it interesting. We were enemies. One day we could be again.
[ It's a painful truth. If Yazoo and Kadaj were to graduate but still turn back to seek Jenova's favor... There is a pause before he adds. ]
I'd think it's a sign you're growing. Maybe. Caring for someone besides your brothers.
[ And Mother. ]
Re: During 4WD; after the rescue talk goes up
Date: 2025-04-24 05:10 am (UTC)They're all bait. This is a hungry place.
That being said, I'm making all the shields I can for you to take with you, traps, and things that can buy a few seconds.
This may sound like I'm biased, but take Bashir. He's stable, has a lot of knowledge, and is not easily influenced by outside forces. Ensure Tendi has access to his information.
Ulla is powerful but she has a huge weak point of being sound based. I don't know enough about Shaw to have a professional opinion. Zerxus is good, but I don't know his immunity to mental influence.
I'd consider that heavily with whoever you choose as your healer on site. They will be the target of any major attack, as will the combat healer.
Each person is a possible strike to morale. Bring only those you know can survive and have combat experience.
Narrenschiff doesn't count. That was a polite disagreement.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-24 05:52 am (UTC)Besides, Vincent asked for a professional opinion. He trusts Sokie enough to accept that at face value here. ]
Do you mean he's resistent to mental intrusions?
[ There will of course be a pause for Sokie to fill in the specifics before he addresses the other statements. ]
Like I said, I have Aerith and Anduin in mind so far. [ There might be faint amusement. ] Aerith will sound like my bias. But I know her skills very well. Zerxus has already agreed to defer if needed.
[ And this place honestly sounds like having supernatural healing- and combat attacks- will be a boon. ]
...Yes, I understand what you mean about the Narrenschiff.

Date: 2025-04-24 02:27 pm (UTC)[She sighs, rubbing her mouth. This was such a big thing.]
She's clearly someone who...while very pink...clearly has a calming presence. That might be the tipping point in the rescue.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-25 05:36 am (UTC)[ Is this video? If it's video, it's clear Vincent is trying very hard not to smile. Very pink. ]
She'll be an asset in a lot of ways. Got any tricks up your sleeve on offer? That I should let people know about.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-25 02:13 pm (UTC)[She sees it. Oh Vincent. Nice smile.]
I have shield magic, enhancement magic, and things that could shield the senses. I'll put them into small items that can use.
And I can make items that heal too. I have some on backlog and can whip up some quick items for protection quickly. Enhancing takes a little more time.
OUT OF NOWHERE, A TEXT. backdated to.. early march?

Date: 2025-04-27 12:17 am (UTC)Ah, you should know who Rufus Shinra is. He and the remaining Turks are one faction. They supported efforts to combat the Geostigma Crisis. Discretely, of course. They definitely had no part of Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo's creation.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-27 12:21 am (UTC)Just to be perfectly crystal clear, even though Rufus and the Turks weren't involved, no one else at Shinra was either from the previous regime? I don't want to be misunderstanding this.

Give me a moment.
[ There will be a pause before his next message comes through. ]
They are a product of Sephiroth. Or Jenova's legacy. Take your pick on how you want to describe it. They were not born or created with science. They lived about two weeks before their death in battle.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-27 12:43 am (UTC)[Something in that does suggest he's aware their 'mom' isn't human. At all.]
I had assumed it was something like Genesis' copies or my own. We can imprint a lifetime's combat experience on our victims, age wouldn't be relevant.
Size would be however.

Date: 2025-04-27 12:55 am (UTC)[ Another pause. ]
To be clear, I have their permission to tell you. But I think there are some things you should ask them about directly.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-27 12:59 am (UTC)I want objective external perspective from someone used to doing analysis. I know how skewed things can be when you're the subject instead of the observer.
Think of it as explaining my own heritage w.r.t Jenova a little more if it helps.

Date: 2025-04-27 01:16 am (UTC)[ Then. ]
You know that all returns to the Lifestream. There are exceptions of course. And sometimes strong wills persist. When Sephiroth died and fell into the mako pools at the bottom of Mt. Nibel's reactor, I'm sure it comes as no surprise to learn he retained some consciousness.
There's a theory that he and Jenova became one. I honestly don't know what to tell you to believe as fact. But for simplicity's sake, I'll say Sephiroth. But even after Cloud defeated him five years after his death, his... legacy still persisted in the Lifestream. It crept out into the world. A type of miasma that, because the Lifestream surged through the land to help fight Meteor, crept into the populace.
There's a circuit in all of our bodies similar to the Lifestream. This 'pox' was seen as a foreign invader the body tried to fight off. That was, in effect, Geostigma. But its purpose wasn't to destroy humanity. It was to find a way to return. Perhaps because he could no longer remember, having lost too much of himself.
Eventually that miasma created three beings. And those were Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo. Their purpose was to find enough of Jenova that remained in the world and bring back Sephiroth's return. And they did terrible things to achieve that goal.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-27 01:19 am (UTC)I'm a simple man, so bear with me; one step at a time.
Sephiroth and Jenova may be the same person at this point? Any evidence either way?
