[OUT OF NOWHERE]
Don't suppose you're interested in a game of drunk and go seek? Your friend Cloud's left his communicator somewhere and wandered off, and I don't think he's in much of a state to be stumbling about.

He got drunk?
[ Yeah that was a bit of a surprise, enough that a text got sent before Vincent realized what might have happened. Then... ]
Oh. Never mind.
[ Then. ]
I'll look for him. Do you know where he was at originally?

[ There's a minute or so before an answer comes back. So no emergency. Probably. ]
No reason to save him from the consequences of his actions.
[ There's another short pause. Then, an image comes through. Remember that coffin? Well the lid's off, Cloud's passed out on the purple satin lining. There's a pail off to the side. It's not instagram worthy, but it's a decent photo.
It's clear that someone thinks this is perfectly fine. Or might be frustrated and have a wicked sense of humor underneath their taciturn demeanor. ]

Is this Vincent Valentine?
Edited 2024-07-17 02:29 (UTC)
Good day, Vincent Valentine.
I am pleased to see bacta patches are now available in the infirmary. May I trouble you for one at this time?
I am pleased to see bacta patches are now available in the infirmary. May I trouble you for one at this time?
At this time I only have enough on hand for trial.
So if you need one, you can stop by the infirmary. Give the doctors the on hand example of its use.
[ Is he wary of new medical tech he hasn't finished reading the literature for being abruptly requested by an inmate even if it was their suggestion and might just be the equivalent of a Star Wars Band-aid? MAYBE.
But also yeah, the supply is very limited and on trial right now too. ]

Care to be more specific?
Care to be more specific?
Good afternoon. Zack mentioned you'd like someone cleaning medical and medical supply regularly, I can handle that for you. How often do you take inventory?
[ He knows this guy. ]
Oh, Angeal. Yeah. Inventory is periodic but I want people who can be trusted to do scheduled cleaning of the supply room. Daily floor and dusting. Monthly deep clean.
He recommended you, himself and Richter.
[ Given the circumstances, guess who he was planning to go with anyway. ]

[ Given the circumstances, guess who he was planning to go with anyway. ]
[He's suffering the Death Toll, so he's used his time recovering to put together that list of alchemical ingredients.]
This is Durge. Given the events that transpired recently, I hope this message finds you well. I've prepared that list we spoke about.
Potion of Greater Healing. A draught for curing moderate injuries, such as cuts and bruises. Main ingredient: Balsam.
Potion of Superior Healing. A draught for curing serious injuries, such as broken bones or deep wounds. Main ingredient: Yellow Musk Creeper Petals.
Remedial Potion. A restorative potion, which can cure poisoning and eliminate magic involving effects of blindness, silence, and paralysis. Main ingredient: Xorn Scales.
I'll also require Mergrass as a Suspension and Mugwort for Salt.

[ The response comes soon enough. Thankfully Vincent is not experiencing Death Toll! Maybe some exhaustion though between fightin' monsters and making sure Aerith doesn't overwork herself. ]
I'm fine. As soon as things settle down, I'll submit this request. I don't know if recent events will cause any delays but I'll notify you as soon I receive word.
You said your world is named Toril?
Did you get a chance to speak with the wardens in the Greenhouse?
[ Well there was the whole Fog and Otherworld thing. And the possibility of waiting for confirmation that expanding plants to include alchemy ingredients would be a feasible project. ]

[A good neighbor comes over to check on other neighbors. Or friend check on friend at least.
Gently, Aerith knocks on Vincent's door. It's quiet, in the early evening post dinner. But not sleep time for most people. ]
Vincent? You home?
[She doesn't even bother with the door. Of course it's locked.]

[ Vincent is not asleep, nor is he in the bath. But there are signs that the latter has occurred when the sound of the locks being undone is followed by the door opening.
Mind you, this is solely because his hair still looks a bit damp. The man is fully dressed and kitted but at least his clothes aren't damp as well. Cloud, somewhere, may indeed rest easy with someone else's knowledge that Vincent does indeed know how to bathe without his clothes on.
Probably.
The young woman gets a bit of a study. Ruby eyes flick to glance around the hall for any signs of issues. Then the door opens further and Vincent's right hand is sliding Cerberus- drawn and hidden behind the half open door but at the ready in case it was someone pretending to be someone they are not- back into the holster.
No big deal. ]
Aerith. Did you need something?
[ He doesn't stand aside immediately. She might just be passing by on the way to her cabin. Or she's calling him out. ]

Hi, Vincent? My name is Misty Quigley. I hear you'll be working with me and Durge on some exciting new additions to the greenhouse?
I sent him in your direction, yes. Though some of the plants may fall under Aerith's supervision.
Can you brief me on what you're spoke about with Durge so far?
Can you brief me on what you're spoke about with Durge so far?
[His tone is curt, bordering on tense. No funny business here.]
Still up to doing your job, Turk?

Vincent, hey.
We have a bit of a situation. It's Cloud.

[ He's been listening. And has seen earlier announcements. ]
Justine?
[ He says it short and clipped. To the point. ]
Justine?
[ He says it short and clipped. To the point. ]
Bettin' you keep a close enough eye on the big man's announcements to know already, but I'm Kadaj's temp this rotation. Heard you might have some important information to share.
[ Ah, seems he was beaten to the mark. ]
Kadaj told you about me?
[ Yeah he definitely keeps track. Good enough to know who the likely message bearer was. Though in fairness it could have been the last warden. ]
Kadaj is from my world. We were enemies there. Well, [ dry amusement ] may still be. That's up for debate.
[ Vincent is still watching out for the Remnants. ]
He and two others were created, for lack of a better word, with the intention of reviving a singular person. For now, Kadaj seems interested in finding out if he can be more. One of the others is here as well. Yazoo. He seems to be willing to follow Kadaj's lead.
[ There's more but the former Turk pauses here to let Remy absorb what's been said so far. There was no derision in Vincent's tone to suggest that 'created' makes either of the two Remnants lesser. It was just a statement of how they came into being. ]

Good day. Do you have a question?
[ Business as usual. ]
[ Business as usual. ]
[ Someone is going to have answers to give to a man with a special skill set. ]
Explain why in more detail, Yazoo.
[ Thank goodness this is text and not audio. ]

[Over the sound of shuffling papers:]
As a heads up. Sent one of Sephiroth's kids to you about sex ed, might be both. Banora didn't cover things in super great detail, so I'm defaulting to medical. Bounce him back if it's out of your scope, I can find diagrams and .. things.

Too late.
[ That's certainly... a measured tone. You're... laughing inside, right Vincent? Right? ]

Hey congratulations on getting paired! How are you feeling about it?
I get the feeling that's going to be a popular question. I'm fine with it. I requested the pairing after all.
Seems the Admiral agreed I'd fit for now.
[ He sounds amused. ]

She really seems to like you a lot.
You okay with this Vincent?
You okay with this Vincent?
Yup.
[ So it seems. ]
I asked before she came to me about it. Not that I've admitted that.
[ Annnd dry humor. Yeah he's letting Katie think it was her request that tipped the balance. No harm, no foul. Vincent continues more seriously. ]
I can survive her antics. And to a degree, I think it's the best deal for everyone. She also seems aware that I'm not going to go easy on her and... she still wanted it. So there's something.

[ Calm before the storm? Well either way, Vincent responds. ]
Sure. Over the phone or in person?
Sure. Over the phone or in person?
Nanaki was practically hiding beneath behind the desk Vincent manned in the medical suite. His paws were more often on top of his face than on the floor as he covered it in embarrassment.
"It's so embarrassing. That flood was the worst. Just shoot me, Vincent. I can't face anyone after that humiliation."
Vincent, he said such ridiculous and horrible things. In public. To friends. It's awful. Life can't go on. Woe, woe.

Vincent, he said such ridiculous and horrible things. In public. To friends. It's awful. Life can't go on. Woe, woe.
Vincent carried on with his work as usual. Lots of paperwork to be done as always. He's got his shoes back and things seem to be settling down again for the time being.
What's left is the aftermath. The aftermath of woe. And life ending embarrassment. Idly he looks down at Nanaki.
"If I did, you'd just come back. And feeling the death toll on top of everything else."
The gunman doesn't imply that shooting isn't an option. Just that it wouldn't do much good to spare the sentient beast this predicament he finds himself in.
"Besides, I like having you around." Didn't Vincent once say that too much of Nanaki is annoying that he'd only agree to meet up once a year? "...Occasionally."
Oh. There it is.

Quite frankly from what I've observed it's rarely the unpaired fresh arrivals causing regular problems onboard.
You're right. Normally it's the ones that have gotten a good idea of what they can get away with. Or who let the resentment build up.
Max was an unusual exception in a lot of ways. Normally he would have been unpaired. But he was immediately paired permanently with Sheehan. Either way, since he came in on a Breach and went on a spree because of the ending confusion, I wonder about the timing of this proposal.
There are ways to improve the unpaired wardens, both in letting people know they're present and in how they choose to handle their obligations. But that's not what this seems to be about.

I'm sure you've heard enough criticism for one day so just know not everyone disagrees with you.
Unfortunately, people here like to pile on, especially if they think Inmate rights are at stake.

Thanks for the message. I'm alright.
I'll take most of what's being said for what it is, don't worry.
[ He isn't clearly defining that, but whatever his stance is, he sounds sincere. ]
Besides, never had a job where being hated by a lot of people for doing it wasn't part of the description.

[His inmate is back together, he's had a couple conversations with his 'dad' and 'step-father', and he's talked through boundaries(kind of?) with his boyfriend. Now the apology tour, or really just the one night show here in Valentine town.]
Hey, I was a dick before. Happens when your inmate already hates you and then you gotta go on a gifted scavenger hunt to find the pieces just so he can yell at you when you're done. You want to ask questions, I'm here for it.

I wasn't expecting you to be happy. So it's fine.
[ Vincent rarely expects people to be happy about being on the receiving end of a baited invitation to an interrogation party. ]
Main question's still the same. Who was involved in making it and capturing the Cat King?
[ Same reasons as he stated before as to why. ]
