[Chris laughs delightedly. There is the sound of his feet on what sounds like a wooden floor. Then he starts talking.]

I have no idea what this place is, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. It's a house! With hot and cold running water and no holes in the ceiling! Okay, I've been working on the part about the holes, but still. Whoever did

...It's home. Gaia.

I'm starting to wonder if it followed me here.

[nicotine_high]

So it's your fault?

[im_not_a_rookie]

My fault? N-No, I mean, I don't know, I don't think so, people leave and come all the time and--

I don't know.

[nicotine_high]

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

There's got to be a catch to this, though.

[furybrands]

He was a hero. Used to be, a long time ago.

[outboundchris]

Used to be? Woah, eerie parallel there. So how'd he wind up being the fruit loop he is now, ma'am?

[furybrands]

I'm not exactly sure, but I know that a lot of it has to do with someone named Jenova. He's not the same that he was, when he was still thinking clearly.

[outboundchris]

Jenova... hmm. Weird name for somebody to have. Anyway, I'd suggest staying away from him, ma'am. He's dangerous to approach.

My name's Chris. You're new here, right?

[nicotine_high]

It's great isn't it?

It almost makes me want to take a bubble bath.

[outboundchris]

Hell yeah, it's great! I missed having hot water to use for stuff. This'll make doing laundry a breeze!

Hot shower, here I come!

[nicotine_high]

It'll really get rid of the smell of this place. For now...

[coy_smile]

You're not crazy, no. Or we all are, but I'd prefer not to believe that.

Nobel Peace Prize? Sadly he's told me he cares nothing for records or awards.

[outboundchris]

So you saw 'em, too, Ada? Huh. Spooky.

It's a joke. I doubt the Swiss would want him anywhere near their country to begin with, let alone giving him an award.

[coy_smile]

I walked through one of them, in fact. Or...ran, really. I suppose it could just be a sign that heroic acts aren't my style.

I know. I just wouldn't put that sort of thing past him. Sometimes I think he likes being ironic.

[outboundchris]

Why were you running? Don't tell me something was trying to turn you into take-out lunch, Ada.

Trust me, irony tends to show up a lot when it comes to him. It makes it that much harder to stand him.
