019 - VOICE

[rectifythis]

Hm ... So, that's it, then.

Strange how it almo-

[ KRAA!! ]

...

[ And Sephiroth just sighs. ]

... Noisy creature. How long must you linger?

[ Despite this, he doesn't sound half as agitated as he should, resigned to the beast's decision to stay, which might explain the conversational tone he takes with it, as if they'd just had this talk

Comments

Private | Voice | sorry double reply

[lovelessxhero]

[A soft pause as he contemplates how to answer. When he finally speaks his voice sounds strangely...serene. He's gotten over the initial shock of his latest physical symptom - but only just. Well, enough to mask the turbulent mass of emotions within him, anyway. His voice has a slight touch of it's usual purr.]

At the house, of course.

...where else did you expect me to be?

Private | voice | i saw nothing ♥

[rectifythis]

[ Well, that's a bit more like it, now, isn't it...? ]

The house.

[ He repeats it in a clinical way, just barely shirking sarcasm, but clearly evincing the implied query ]

-Which one? I half expected to run into you by now.

Private | voice

[lovelessxhero]

[A moment passes before a very distinct "ping" sounds on Sephiroth's device as the location is sent to him.]

It's a little further down than the others. These days, I find myself grateful for the seclusion.

[And now there's the barest traces of amusement in his voice]

Did you want something of me?

Private | voice | asbedk me and these icons today, oh

[rectifythis]

[ There's a quiet hum when he receives it, pensive and appreciative, since he half expected some resistance, though he's pleased to find otherwise. ]

...

[ Someone else could have missed that Genesis had caught him off guard, as the soft sound that escaped him could have meant any number of things; an expression of disdain, perhaps, but it was a bit too sudden, sounded a little too much like he'd bitten that last breath, and maybe too clear that it had been soft surprise, after all. He takes a moment, carefully wording his response ]

Would it please you if I said yes?

voice ;

[acosmistic]

Huh. You, too. Does it do anything special?

voice.

[rectifythis]

Beyond making such an eloquent fuss...?

Not that I've noticed.

voice; he's silently screaming forever~

[heroarchy]

You...

voice | hiii baaabbbyyyy... 8')

[rectifythis]

And you are ... ?

voice; lmf, way to confuse him

[heroarchy]

[startled/confused pause]

... No one. Forget it.

voice.

[rectifythis]

Not so fast.

[ He starts to recognize the voice now, but not the frequency, and then it comes to him ]

... Strife, was it?

voice

[blackfoxed]

Apparently we're stuck with them. I've been told they're supposed to help us somehow.

voice.

[rectifythis]

I can't begin to imagine how.

But if they insist on sticking around, the least they can do is make themselves useful.

voice.

[blackfoxed]

I can't really either, but I'm just passing on information. Maybe they won't display any abilities unless we're in danger.

[Private to Sephiroth]

[divigate]

[Slightly less serious than he might have been without the bird in the background.]

I have. Although I can't say I'm responsible for the city being restored.

[ Private to Angeal | wrong icon, what ]

[rectifythis]

[ Funnily, the fool thing is working to the same effect on this one, but it goes quiet again after some unseen gesture ... a finger to the lips that gives him peace enough to speak ]

... And you're not just being modest, correct?

[ Private to Sephiroth | You see nothing... ]

[divigate]

After all this time, I would have gladly taken credit for it if I could.

[This is almost embarrassing, considering how long he was gone. Although, as usual, he didn't fail for lack of trying.]

...I'm sure that we accomplished something, but I can't say what.

[Pause.]

Is she...?

[ Private to Angeal | lmf ilu bb ;') ]

[rectifythis]

I see ...

In that case, we'd best be on our guard.

[ As for his question ... Angeal should know the answer, and Sephiroth diverts that misplaced disquiet with warm tones and a pseudo ambiguous response ]

... Waiting for you?

Of course.
